 In the matter of the Chicago cele- bration MT. Getchel1 said the event it
 was anticipated, would mark an epoch
 in the political history of America. President Diaz and his cabinet officers
 most graciously accepted the invita-
 ton of the committee and his atten-
 dance lacked only the permission of
 the Mexican congress, which will
 doubtless be granted on the occasion
 of it's assembling. September 18th.
 President Mckinley and his cabinet
 officers have signified their willingness
 and pleasure in attending, and the
 governor general of Canada has been
 invited, and it is fully expected will b;e
 present. Thus the ruling powers of
 almost the entire continent of North
 America will, for the first, be brought
 together. In addition to the list of
 notab!es it is expected that Admiral
 Dewey will be an honored guest. To add still further interest October 9th,
 the opening day of the festal season,
 is the tWenty-eighth anniversary of
 the great Chicago fire. The city will
 present the most striking illustration
 of modern civilization in the contrast of the present with the event this an niversary so vividly recalls. Presi-
 dent Mckinley is expected to touch the button.'' as it were, that siSnalizes the opening of the festivities and Chi cago, always at the front, will on this occasion attempt to outdo herself
 Referring to his recent visit to Mexico MT Getchell said that the re ception of the committee by President h far chief of staff was cordial to a fault, and the hospitality extended to them was most royal. The party travelled in the private car of MT. Robert T. Lincoln, president of the Pullman company, and when the train relied into thu depu1 the state bands were engaged in playing the national airs of the United States. The president and his family met them at the depot, l his private carriages were at their 1 disposal at all times, their hotel bills | were paid by a nod from the chief ex- ecutive and ill substance their money l could not be made to circulate in the | realm, although it was good gold Of | the latest coinage. The party was duly accredited by Secretary Hay and | the visit was made a state occasion. They were treated not only as the 1 representatives Of the most, enterpris- 1 ing city on earth, but of the greatest | and grandest country on earth.
 At the conclusion of their visit the | president informed them that his prl- i vate car was Rt their disposal and in- | sisted that they make use of it for 1 the return journey. It may be men, i tiCned here that President Diaz has 1 the finest Pullman that was ever built, !

 The president, Sonora Diaz and tk.eir son and daughter, as well as many dis tinguished citizens bade them good bye at the depot amid the playing of American national airs, and as the train rolled away the Chicago party gave three lusty cheers fer President DiaZ and three for the Republic of Mexico. The ladies of the city were equally as hospitable and many floral tributes were sent north by Sonora OiaZ.
