Reasons for the Call.

The reasons leading up 10 the cal!
naturally were sources of much conjec-
ture, as it was at first felt that the pos
sibility of foreign complications was q
factor in bringing about this new move.
1t speedily developed, however, that the
call was not due 10 any latent or seri-
Gus emergency, but was rather in the
line of getting together large body of
men, to be drilled and seasoned, and to
constitute a sort of second reserve to
be drawn upon later when the cam
paigns were fully under way. Secretary
Alger stated that the determination to
issue the call had not been reached un.
til late Tuesday. The merits of it have
been canvassed more or less for some
weeks, but it was not until few hours
before the call itself appeared that the
move was finally decided upon.

M'KINLEY AT CHICAGO
The City Crowded With Visitors for
the Peace Jubilee.

CHICAGO, Oct. II. - President and
Mrs. Mckinley, who arrived in Chicago
Saturda ay night from ST Louis, are the
guests of Lafsye tie McWillisms at his
residence, 1851 Lake avenue, where they
will remain until they depart for Wash
iugton, Wednesday night. Owing to
the tragic death of Mrs. McKinley's
brother, the only entertainment which
the president and his wife will attend
will be under the direction of the Jubi-
lee management. For the same reason
only few old friends were permitted
to see the president, although many
prominent people called at the Will
Jams residence yesterday and today.
Up to ten o'clock more than one hun
dred thousand visitors had arrived to
witness the ceremonies. At ten o'clock
a private reception was rendered the
visitors of national reDown. The pres
ident left the residence of Captain Nc
Williams, where he has been stopping
wi h Mrs. Mckinley s nee his arrival,
with an escort of police, and visited
the University of Chicago, where he
spent two hours.
All the forenoon local committees
were busy receiving and entertaining
the distinguished visitors. who have
been invited to witness the exercises
that have been arranged for these
three days. The hotels where they are
domiciled are surrounded by an eager
multitude which cheers Justify the
mention of every name that achieved
distraction in the recent war. Miles,
with his striking figure and military
bearing, is easily recognized, but Gen.
Joe Wheeler is the soldier OF whom
every one wants to get glimpse. the
city is already crowded with visitors
from the adjoining states. The streets
are thronged with a surgIpg mass OF
hum snity, but every one appears, as If
out for holiday and determined to en-
10y it.
The decorations of the public build
not exceed in msgni6cence those of the
private residences and great business
blocks. AT 3 o'clock the president
held a public reception at the First
regiment srmory. This re-
ception was not on the program, but
the pre- ident expressed a wish to meet
tee people and to shake hands with
all OF them who could come within his
reach.
The ty authorities have thoroughly
cleaned the streets for the illuminated
bicycle parade which starts at 7:30
this evening. This will be one OF the
most interesting features of the jubilee
celebration. At the same hour the
arches will be dedicated and the whole
city will DE brilliantly illuminated.

DENVER, Oct. II. - A terrific bliz-
zard with sleet is raging west OF the
the Missouri and Mississippi rivers.
The Western Union and Postal wires
are paralyzed.
DENVER, Colo, Oct. I7.-Even the
weather bureau is unable to learn
positively the extent of the blizzard of
sleet which is raging east of the Colo
rado boundary. The storm is the
same which passed here Saturday
but it has been gaining in
velocity ever since. The bureau has
been unable to get any Information
from points east or north of Colorado.
All trains from the east are from
Z to II hours late. Railroad dis
patchers OF most roads have
'.loss'' their west bound express trains
and are holding their east bound
freight trains here until they hear
whether wrecks have occurred, as In q
storm like the present disasters are fre-

George De Fontaine, who was ar
rested, tried land convicted for counter
feitipg paper money of the United
States, was among the departures on
the G. n. last afternoon for San An
tonic, in charge of United States
marshal told the reporter that De Fon-
taiue would be taken to San Antonio,
and would stay there until the term of
court is finished and then al who are
bound for the same destination would
be taken together.
George locked as fine as ever. He
bad on brand new suit, little trav-
cling cap, q new tie, and big spark
ler 10 his shirt front. He was in the
best of humor and said he had never
felt better in his life He kept his
nerve up very we'll and had Is pleasant
word to say to all of his friends who
had come up to the train 10 tell him
good bye. Some one who had bought
two or three apples came in eating one
and handed the others TO De Fontsine
and this nearly made him lose his
menced to talk again and was soon all
right.
In talking about this trial, his trip,
and hi. future place of abode be said
that be thought he would be In prison
only about four years and q half as he
would take care of himself and be-
have himself and in that way get sd-
vantage of the time allowed to such
prisoners.
