| Chicago. Oct. 1s.-One brief gleam of
sunshine. and only one. has been thrown
upon the ceremonies Of the peace jubi-
lee. 1t was a fieetine. short-lived
burst Of third-class sunshine, but IL
fell upon the presidents reviewing
stand just as the head of the great
Jubilee parade was approaching, and
the dense crowd which lined the streets
accepted II as an augury of better
things and cheered Justify. but before
they were half through with their
shouts the little shudder Of light was
gone and the cold. dark. dismal weather
that from the first has dampened. fig
uratively and literally. the jubilee fes-
tivities. was on again In full force.
Chicago has seen many parades
greater than that Of to-day, but she
never has seen one that pleased its
people better. nor has there ever been
a parade In this city. which has been
witnessed by so many people.
Notwithstanding the most elaborate
| arrangements of the police department,
the banishing of every street car and
vehicle of every description from the
downtown streets in order that the
crowd might have no obstructed way,
| there were times to-day when the
| crowd was too great for the police to
handle, and at many places the crush
at times was dangerous.
The greetings extended to the presi-
dent were enthusiastic in the extreme,
as were the plaudits showered upon
General Miles and General Shafter as
they passed through the streets. The
president. in his carriage. was sur
rounded by members of the Chicago
Hussars formed in square, and detach-
ments of the Grand Army and of con-
federate veterans, acted as escort. He
led the parade from the starting point
at Congress street and Michigan avenue
to the Union League club house, when,
in company with all the other distin-
guished guests. he alighted and re-
ceived the parade. Throughout the en-
tire march past the stand, which lasted
a trff1e over three hours, the president
remained standing. nor did he take a
seat until after the platoon Of police
which formed the protecting line for the
rear Of the parade. had passed down
the boulevard.

Union League club at o'clock. As the

The advance OF the parade. after the
presidential escorts had wheeled out OF
the line of march. was given to the vet
Grams of the Grand Army, who were
present in great numbers. Behind the
veterans Of the civil war came MEM
bers of civic societies until II seemed
they would never end. After these
came the 4th regular infantry from
Fort Sheridan. and then such OF the
fighting men of Chicago, as have re-
turned from the war. Then bright in
new uniforms the 4th regulars passed.

of enlisted men. set the people frantic,
the combination Of local pride and pat
riotism being too much for a crowd not
conservative. and to-day on edge with
patriotism and excitement. The 7th in
fantry closed the parade and its solid.
well-filled ranks, were a long time in
passing.
The Awful Crush.
Directly the 7th infantry had passed,
the president left the reviewing stand.
going into the club house. Three cheers
were given him. as he left. and three
cheers were near to being the death
signal for many people. All day long
the pressure OF the crowd on the police
lines at the two ends of the square in
the center Of which the Union League
club house is situated. has been enor-
nous. Time after time the utmost ef-
forts Of the officers have been unable
to Withstand the weight of the crowd.
Their lines had been frequently broken
and the officers were well nigh ex-
hausted with their long hours Of hard
work. They opened their lines Just as
the crowd in front of the club house
was cheering the president. and the
crowd. thinking some new excitement
was on. hastened from both ends or the
square toward the center. Seeing the
awful crush that must Inevitable en-
sue. the police made desperate efforts
to push the crowd back toward the
ends Of the square. but without avail.
Detachment Of soldiers and marines
were hurried to their assistance. but in
a short time they. too. were powerless.
Finally. after desperate pushing. the
marines managed to clear a small
space through and forming in line
