naif an hour after the explosion the

column of smoke was rising high in the

not be controlled by hundreds of
streams thrown upon them. The sec

by those who were on the street and in
the square and by the time that the

were crowded about them. So dense
was the crowd, in fact, that it became
necessary for several park policemen
to go in advance of Bryan and clear a

Chicago O. O. P. Marches in Column for
Over Kix Hours.
Chicago, Oct. 21). The second great
"sound money" parade is a part of
Chicago's history. For more than six
hours Saturday the rumble of wagons,
the sharp click of horses' hoofs and the
tread of marching feet were heard.
Traffic in the heart of the city was at a
standstill. Surface roads were tied up
and peelestrians were checked at curb
stones. Stores were closed, shops were
unoccupied, lathes were still. It was a
day devoted to jtoliticnl enthusiasm.
Careful counting showed 30,423 per
sons in line. Four years ago a similar
event occurred. Saturday the weather
was all that could be desired for a
march.
The demonstration was one in which
all classes participated, and in which
every one took equal pride. There were
no untoward Incidents to mar the occa
sion. Shorly before 10 a. m. a carriage
brought Senator Hanna from theAudi
torium Annex, while another carriage
conveyed Senator Wililam E. Mason
from the Grand Pacific to the meeting
place of the head of the parade. The
two carriages took their places in the
line right behind the escort of citizens,
and a few minutes later the Second In
fantry band struck up a march and the
signal for the start was given by the
chief marshal.
As soon as the column started the
crowds which had assembled along
Michigan avenue rapidly thinned out
and the people rushed to some of the
streets along the line of march to get a
bttter view of the pageant. The van of
the pageant reached the Grand Pa
cific hotel at 10:40 a. m. Senators Han
na and Mason and their escort of pub
lic men left their carriages at the
Jackson boulevard entrance and pro
ceeded immediately to the reviewing
balcony. Their appearance was the
signal for cheers, which continued al
most without cessation till tlie last ban
ner had passed. Senator Hanna was
accorded tlie place of honor in the east
corner of th ebalcony, where he stood
uncovered and bowing to the con
tingent who sent up their formal and
personal greetings from the street be
Hw. Tht national committeemen and tb
members of the Business Men's asso

throughout the day over the success of
the parade. They cheered the ranks of
marchers, who in turn drowned out
their applause with deafening huzzas
for th eparty.
