CHICAGO, Oct 17-The national peac,
jubilee of Chicago was Sunday nigh
lnaugurated with a union thanksgiv
ing service at the Auditorium. Presi
dent Mckinley attended and listened t.
addresses by Jewish Rabbi, a Roman
Catholic priest, Presbyterian clergy
man and noted colored orator. The
applause for the president was terrific
and at one time he was compelled tt
rise in his box and respond to the
frantic cheering of the audience. The
services, however, were of a religious
character, and at times the solemn
silence of the vast assemblage was
much more eloquent than the widest
applause could be.

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-Eight thousand
people packed within the walls of the

had preceded Tuesdays great meeting
was merely preliminary in its nature
and most of it in honor of the presi-

ever, the actual jubilee began
The weather was cold, damp,
with lowering skies, and a raw
wind blowing off the lake compelled
people -te hug The lee side of buildings
and seek warm corners; but the crowd
was closely packed around the build

were opened. The people came rapid
ly, and long before the announcement
of the exercises the great hall was
packed from pit to dome.

address by Chairman Charles Truax,
of the jubilee committee, at the con-
clusion of which he introduced the
presiding officer, George R. Peck

address he introduced Mayor Harri-
son, Of Chicago, who delivered the
formal address of welcome to Presi-
dent Mckinley and the strangers who
had come to Chicago to witness the
ceremonies of jubilee week The
president, who received a most enthu-
siastic welcome as he entered the
building, made no formal reply to the
addresses of welcome, notwithstand-
ing the large calls that were made up
on him for a speech. Following the
address of Mayor Harrison came Arch
bishop Ireland, of St Paul.
Judge Emory Speer, of Georgia, fol-
lowed with the closing address.
