The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-10-08

Arrangene nts are we'll under way for
the welcome and breakfast to the Thir-
teenth regiment and the reception and
entertainment Of President Mckinley,
both OF which events occur on Thursday
The details for the reception to the pres
ident and his party have not been COM
pleted, but will be annonced in tomor-
rows G 0 be. The president and mem
bers of the presidential party will reach
St. PaTl at 1880 o'clock Thursday even
ing a. d remain in the city about four
hours. A reception, democratic in every
way, will be rendered President McIin-
ley, although at this time there is some
question as to the place at which the re-
ception will be held. 1t has been under
stood that the reception will be held at
the capitol, but the committee having
the arrangements in charge had not de-
cided last evening as TO this. Some of
the committee favor the holding of the
reception in the Auditorium, giving as
their reason their belief that the
c~oWd could be very much bet
ter handled there than at the capitol,
and it is very likely that the Auditorium
will be selected. The other details as to
the presidential reception will be an
nounced by the committee tomorrow
The arrangements for the welcome and
/ lakfast to the Thirteenth are about
perfected. The regiment will arrive on
the Northern Pacific and Great Northern
roads early in the morning the scheduled
programme bringing the trains at ST.
Paul a o'clock. The train bearing the
st. Paul and Minneapolis battalions will
run into the depot at the foot of Fourth
street and the train on the Great North
ern, having on board the battalion made
up of the St. Cloud, Saltwater, Red Wing
and one company from Minneapolis, will
be side tracked at the foot of Broadway
The block and a half on Broadway
south of Fourth street to the Great
Northern track will be kept clear by the
police and members of the national
guard, and on this part of the street the
regiment will form as soon after reaching
the depot as possible The committee
knowing that the relatives and friends
of the st. Paul and Minneapolis compa-
MES would be at the depot in force, have
arranged so that the public will be given
an opportunity to meet the train on it's
arrival at the depot. Fifteen or twenty
minutes will be allowed the regiment to
meet their friends and then the soldiers
will form in line for the march to the
Auditorium. The mounted police will be
the only escort from the depot to the
Auditorium. Each of the three battalTons
will have band. The first battalion
consisting Of the Minneapolis companies,
will be headed by the regimental band
The second battalion, consisting of the
st. Paul companies, will have Seibert's
band, and the third battalion, including
the companies from Saltwater, Red
Wing, St. Cloud and one Of the Mime
apOlis companies, will march behind the
Minnesota State band.
Arriving at the Auditorium, breakfast
will be served, and following the repas-
short speeches of welcome will be made
by Gov. Lind on behalf of the state, SEN
ator Nelson on behalf of the United
States, and Mayor Kefer on behalf Of
the city. Secretary of War Root, # is
also expected, will address a few words
to the soldiers, and one of the members
