THE JUBILEE PARADE.
Sight Witnessed by the Largest Crowd in
ChicagO's History

CHICAGO, Oct. 2O.-The great jubilee
parade is a thing of the past Chicago
has seen many more imposing sights.
but she never has seen one that pleased
its people better, nor has there ever been
a parade i'll this city which has been
witnessed by SO many people. The
crowds in the street We're larger than
those which witnessed the great parade
at the time of the dedication of the
worlds fair buildings, six years ago.
There were more and larger stands
erected for sightseers and all were filled
to the utmost and the number of people
that filled the streets was such as has
never been seen in this city before.
Notwithstanding the most elaborate ar
rangements 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 an unobstructed way.
there were times when the crowd was
too great for the police too handle, and
at times the crush was dangerous No
lives were lost, but there never was a
more narrow escape from a long list of
fatalities.
President Enthusiastically Greeted.
The greetings extended to President
Mckinley We're enthusiastic to the ex-
treme, as were the plaudits showered
upon General Miles and General Shat
ter as they passed through the streets
The presidents carriage was surrounded
by detachments of the Grand Army and
of Confederate veterans, acting as an
escort. He led the parade from the
starting point at Congress street and
Michigan avenue to the Union League
clubhouse; where, in company with all
other distinguished guests, he alighted
and reviewed the parade. Throughout
the entire march past the stand, which
lasted trifle over three hours, the pres
ident remained standing.
The advance of the parade was given
to the veterans of the Grand Army, who
We're present in large numbers. Behind
the veterans came numerous civil socie-
ties, rank after rank, until it seemed as
though they would never end. After
these came the Fourth regular infantry
from Fort Sheridan and then the naval
reserve. The First Illinois, which gave
more lives during the war than any Hi
nois body of enlisted men, set the people
frantic. The Seventh infantry closed
the parade.

PARIS. Oct. 19.-Spain cannot longer
have any doubt regarding the ultimate
attitude of the United States towards
tbe so-called Cuban debt. The Amerl-
can commissioners have definitely de-
clined to assume it or any part of it, by
express treaty or by contract.
They also declined to accept cesslon
of sovereignty to the United States, for
in that case Spain would claim that
such cession by its own force would
impose the obligation for that debt.

LONDON. Oct. 20.-The speech OF Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach that the govern
ment is firm in its demand that France
leaves Fashoda has deeply impressed
England and the utmost concern Is felt
az to how France will receive it. The
idea has been prevalent that the French
have not realized how seriously England
felt on the Fashoda question, which has
been coupled with desire that France
would not force England to an armed
support of Lord Salisbury's stand.
Most of the morning papers elaborate
some of the excited statements of the
belligerent preparations of France. The

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-The great national
peace jubilee banquet at the Audito-

United States and distinguished guests
by the citizens of Chicago, was a great
success. No similar event ever held

brilliancy and simple elegance. No
similar event ever held there was more
successfully managed or brought to a
more triumphant conclusion.

ord upon the sea, men famed for deeds
of arms done on shore, We're present

Fashdda affair was IA matter which
might develop to the utmost gravity
1t is impossible" he continued, for
France to maintain that she has political
rights at FashOda. She has naturally

Major Marchand's report, but until the

that France will refuse to withdraw. If
she refuses. the matter would assume an
aspect as grave as is possible between
two great nations. The government is
animated by the friendliest spirit to-

Surely we ought to be able to respect

Il hope, trust and pray that the mat
ter is capable of solution. but this coun-
try has set her foot down. If. unhapplly,
another view should be taken by France,
the queens ministers know what their
duty demands. 1t would be a very
great calamity, if after peace for
upward of 80 years our friendly rela-

be launched into great war, but there
are greater evils than war. and we shall

+ SPANlARD'S REQUEST.
Regular Joint Session of the Peace Com
mission Deferred.


mission Deferred.
PARIS, Oct 20.-At the request of the
Spanish commissioners the joint meet
ing of the peace commission has been
deferred to Friday.
While the deferring of any one con-
ference for day or two days is not in
itself an important request, the delay by
the Spaniards at this juncture is some
thing more than significant. The game
of diplomacy now progressing here has
reached stage which makes it neces
sary that the next move be made by the
Spanish commissioners. They are con-
fronted by the plain fact of their pro-
tocol to relinquish and evacuate Cuba
without Ifs" ''ands" or "buts."
1t has become clear here that the
Spaniards cherished the hope that they
could Internationally covenant to follow
a given path and ultimately wander
elsewhere and do less or more than
named in the protocol compact. The
American commissioners, however, have
firmly adhered to the boundary lines
already mutually established ,and within
which they insist the Spaniards as well
as themselves, shall duly proceed.
1t is not too much to say that Spain
has more light than ever before on the
integrity and steadfastness i'll word and
purpose of the United States. Nor is it
wide of the fact to say that the Span
iards are now initially appreciating that
the United States did not make war on
Spain to acquire Cuba as a conquest

portraits of Washington were presented
with events in the war of the revolution,
