CHICAGO , Oct 10. ( Special Telegram. ) The trlplo obser > inco of the cornerstone ceremonies , McKlnley's presence nnd the anniversary of the Chicago lire ended to night with the industrial parade , a pageant of the people. Thoueamls of tradesmen on lloats emblematic of their craft made a flhowing of the city's productive energy. The lloits themselves Htro Hlmllar In effect to the gloomy , unllghtcd Images which formed the parade of last night. A member of Ak-Sar-Hen's court would have seen little to suggest the spectacle attending his o\vn monarch's cntrj. The radiance abed by the electric lloats on mien an occasion was imitated nt Chicago by Ill-directed cal ciums , dragged In cartti behind each mount ed design. The streets nlso , with the cx- coviUou of State , which constituted the Court of Honor , wcro not lighted beyond the usual custom , " 'ho tradesmen were clever imp painstaking in putting their workshops on wheels , however , and deserved - served the applause which came to them from" very tier between the curb and the tenth story. Mr. McKluley'fl presence as soug it for In Innumerable luncheons and receptions dur ing the day and ho Is ori'o more the hereof of the occasion. Ho has accepted the popu lar ovation hero with the same courtly grace \ \ lthwhich ho passed it on to the man ut his aide In the Washington parade a week ago. The Dewey banners which caricatured tbo Admiral In the cast In euch profusion do not frequently appear. After McKlnloy and Gage , the latter Chi cago's favorite son. Sir Wilfrid Laurler comes lu for applause. Ho Is the guest of honor at numerous occasions and the crowd given the Mexican and other foreign officials no cause to mistake its partiality for the Drltlsh colonial minister. General Merrltt is also occupied In acknowledging salutes as ho passes through the streets. The police handled the crowds without Incident. It seemed an obedient , good- natured multitude , bent on a holiday , and -mde less trouble 'thBn th" moro ccrlous throng which .had seemingly act out with the purpose to see Dewey or faint. The surface and elevated tratnawere unequal to the strain nnd at midnight many cars were still crowded. Few reviewing stands had been erected end the spectators who could not command n window were obliged to stand. The sky scrapers overlooking the parade wcro turned for the time being Into amphitheaters and were bright with -waving colors. In the upper windows the police met their chief ndvorsary. There the megaphone man , a creature unknown In the east , delivered his pleasantries In practical immunltj. WELSHANS.

His departure with the cheers of on Im mense throne ringing In his cars , brought to a oloso a day of genuinely hard work. In which the president had scarcely a mo ment of leisure for himself. The crowds which greeted him nt every turn were ) to good-natured and so disposed to cheer that the president , although wearied -when ho reached his /train / , expresbed himself ns having thoroughly cnjoe < l himself. The flnal numbers tonight on the pres ident's extraordinarily lengthy list of en gagements werro a magnificent banquet by the Commercial club and his visit to a meet ing of the Chicago llrlcltlayors' and Stone masons' union of which ho was a fortnight ago derated an honorary member. An exciting Incident varied and for a moment threatened to upact the president's ce.iHclcss round of activities. Whllo lu Ills carrlago on Congress street en route to Memorial hall to greet the members ot the society of the Army of the Tennessee , ono of the horses attached to the president's carriage became fractious and evinced a de sire to run. The driver had all ho could do to restrain the nnlm.U and , after ho had been tugging at the linen for several blocks , the homo finally broke away and started on a run , Captain Matt PInkerton of the Chicago Hussars , a detachment nt which had Joined the procession , galloped beside the unman ageable steed and grasped his bridle , bring ing tlui animal to a slow trot , The cap tain maintained his hold for the balance of the trip. Tonight's banquet , given In President Mc Klnley's honor by the Commercial club of Chicago , was held In the banquet room of the Auditorium hotel.

Nearly every member of the cabinet present with Mr. McKlnloy had made an address whllo In Chicago , with the excep tion of tbo secretary of state. He was greeted with great applause. His speech dwelt entirely upon the welcome which Chicago had extended to the visitors and tbo fall festival and kindred topics. Sir Wilfrid Laurler was unable to be pres ent nnd delegated to Sir C.

Mavor : taymond Prefontalne of Montreal was then ntroduccd by Mr. McCormlck and spoke jrlelly of Canada's industrial resources and nslsted that the proximity of the two countries nnd their community of Interest made It desirable that they should get along without difficulties over tariff or boundary lines.

Before attending the banquet of the Com mercial club tonight the president , nccom- iianled 'by ' his uaual escort of the Chicago lnifflars , under command of Captain Matt PInkerton , proceeded to the labor meeting which was In progress at Drlcklaycrs' hall.

SHBLUUnNE , Vt , Oct. lO.-'Admlral Dewey Is homo nt last and Is happy to bo within the shadow of tbe Green mountains and bcsido the waters of Lake Champlaln , away from the nolso and bustle that have filled his ears elnce the flagship Olympla came In sight of Sandy Hook. The fact that the admiral Is really In Vermont was signaled tonight on tall mountain peaks by bonfires and electric searchlights from ono end of the state to the other. Admiral Dewey Is the guest of Dr. W. Seward Webb , nt his magnificent country residence at Shelburno farms , and will not become the state's guest until Thursday at the capital , ilontpeller. Ho came hero on a special train from New York this morning , occupjlng Dr. Webb's magnificent car , the nismcre. From Troy to Hutland the tlmo made by the spe cial was almost record-breaking , although according to schedule. In the party were the admiral and his son , Dr. Webb , Flag Lieutenant Brumby , Governor Smith of Vermont , President S. 11. Cnllaway of the New York Central , Presi dent P. W. Clements of the Hutland rail road , General Superintendent J. C. Yeager of the Wagner Car company , General Pas senger Agent 11. T. JlcKeover of the Rutland road and General J. D. McCullough of Ben- nlngton. While in Now York state Admiral Dowcy remained within the car , chatting , but after crossing the Vermont line near Whlto Creek the admiral eecmcd to grow nervous , spoke of his home-coming and went out on the rear platform , although the car was an observation one , to suivey the scenery. He seemed to bo happy nnd to those around him It seemed osthough the admiral had almost had a touch of homesickness. 'A3 ' the train ncared Shelburno the admiral watched the changing scenery Intently. Hero and there n flag was seen , but it Is nature that has done the lavish painting on this great occasion , for the Vermont woods are ono mass of autumn color. When the train pulled Into Shelburno the villagers and .folks from the surrounding country nnd from as far away as Burlington had made a crowd of nearly 3,000. The engine stopped Just at the station , so that the rear car , the nismcre , was abreast of a little grass plot down the track. IMay Ailmlriil'N Selection , When the train stopped Admiral Dewey stood on the rear platform. Preceded by Dr. Webb , he walked across the lawn to where an open laundan , drawn by two big black horses , was In waiting. As the ad miral walked across the lawn , a band fwim ' Burlington played "Under the Eaglea selection made at the special request of the admiral. As Admiral Dewey stepped Into the car riage , a naluto of seventeen gUns was fired from behind a mask of shrubbery near by. Admiral Dewey remained erect in the car- ringo with hat and gloves In hand bowing and smiling to the people around him. Ho was dressed in a gray cutaway suit and were .1 silk hat. Dr. Webb handed In the ad miral's son , who took a seat. Then the crowd of eager people closed In around the carriage until the admiral looked into a sea of faces. Just at the steps of the carriage stood a man In working clothes , Michael McKcnzle , of this town , noticeable because of his height. Suddenly McKenzlo threw his cap Into the air and yelleJ "Let's glvo three cheers for AdmlraX Dewey , the hereof of Manila. " The cheers wore given. The admiral started , looked wonderlngly at the man , dropped his hat and gloves and then impulsively shook McKenzle's hand , which was still In the air after lousing his hat. Instantly the hands of the crowd wcro outstretched toward the carriage , but Ad miral Dewey started back In fear , drew his hand toward his body and said , "No , no , I can't do that , ray hands are very sore , too sore for that. " Bowing again and speaking almost Inaudibly - audibly an expression of thanks lie sat down The crowd drew back a little , Lieutenant Brumby and Dr. Webb took their seats and the carriage passed out of tbo station grounds. Along the road were drawn up 200 school chlldrcti , each with a Hag nnd headed by their teacher. At a signal the children sang a parody on "Yankee Doodle Dandy , " beginning : "Yankee Dewey went to sea. " The movement of the carriage was so timed that It reached the end of the line Ju&t as tbo chorus was reached nnd the admiral boned his thanks. The horses wcro whipped up and the ad- cnlral was driven to Shelburno house nt Shflbumo Farms , three miles away. In the carriages which followed were other members of the party with the admiral's Chinese valet on the box with the driver of the second carriage. On approaching the Webb mansion Ad miral Dewey saw his four-starred Hag In a icont > plcuous position over the door while the porto-cochcro wan hung with two forty- foot flags. After dinner tbo whole party went to the lawn to pee the flashing of the Ecarchllght erected on Mount Mansfield by Dr. Webb and Governor Smith , The atrnopphcro was rather hazy , although the moon shone brightly , but the light was seen and to an nounce IUs successful operation six rockets were discharged on Lone Tree Hill , the highest point on Dr. Webb's estate. The plans for tomorrow are not vet de termined , Admiral Dewey has already found the farm so rcbtful that bo is loth to leave It. Ho Is duo in Montpeller Wcdnebday and the special train will leave during the aft ernoon for that place , making a ghort stop at Burlington.

It wai ecoUcd with Joy by the advocates ofwar ml blank dismay bj the pence party. One mmc-Ilnto consequence Is that the govern- nent will ask rnrllamcnt for a vote of credit or Hfty or sixty millions Instead of thirty- he anil ns the Iloers have taken the OR- re j5lvo the opposition cannot'refuse the ; overnnicnt means to carry on the wir. In fact , the feeling In political quarters onlght Is that Krugcr has egregicaalv ilajcd Into Chamberlain's hands and has undoubtedly Irritated the disheartened llu- rals , vvho v\ero determined to fight for air terms for the republic In the House t Commons. The ultimatum suddenly hlftcd Interest from a political to a inlll- ary situation. On this score the war olllcc irofesscs no anxiety. The rapid dispatch and andtng of the Indian contingent , owing to ho perfect organization of the Indian trans- > ort department , which is entirely hide- icndent of the war olllco here , has removed ho anxiety respecting the safety of Natal fho Uoers doubtless will occupy I.alng's Nek , but military strategists Insist that under the present conditions of warfare and ho Improvement of mountain howitzers -nlng'b Nek is nothing more than n death trap. trap.There There cm bo no question for weeks of anj aggrcesho action on the Drltlsh side , as the English are determined to take no risk of another defeat at the hands of the Doern. Then , again , it should bo contrary to Boer traditions to take the offensive. So It is Icemed possible that a state of war without active hostilities may cnsuo for some time , jut It is pointed out that Kruger's ultlnia- .um may thus bo rendered meaningless , as the only hope the Boers have of striking an effective blow Is to strike Instnntlv. KniKcr AbniuIoiiH Hope of 1'cncc. The first Inspired and accurate informa- lon respecting the terms of Chamberlain's Irst suspended dispatch was published hero estcrday , tallying completely with the ex clusive news cabled last Triday week. Crugcr launched his ultimatum imme diately ho became cognizant of the nature of the demands Chamberlain had lormu- atcd , which were only cabled for formal presentation to the Pretoria government -esterday. This is taken as Indicating that iCruger has abandoned all hope of peace , Jrltlsh demands being so greatly In ex cess of what the republic could possibly grant.
