CUIOAOO , July 4. It Is fitting that the
Fourth of July , the natal day of the na
tion's independence , should witness the
largest attendance of the season at the
World's Columbian exposition. Although
the onlcial returns arc not In the officials do
not hesitate to declare that today's attend
ance will not fall short of 250,000. Every
railroad running Into Chicago gave a special
Fourth of July rate today , and the closing
of commercial houses In the city en
abled the working and business people of
Chicago to swell the throngs until the ag
gregate became greater than that of any
.previous day's attendance. The weather
'was ' alternately fair and threatening , nnd
just as the hour of 12 o'clock arrived a slight
shower broke over the assemblage and
paused a hasty uprising of umbrellas. For
tunately , however , the ra'n was slight and
of but few minutes' duration , nnd the exer
cises of the day were favored at the close bv
bright sunshine. Good taste was displayed
by the exposition officials In the brevity of
the program , the entire exercises of speech
and song consuming but little over an hour ,
The stand was erected on the east sldo of
the terminal station and the space between
this structure and the Administration build
ing was packed with humanity a half hour
before the beginning of the ceremonies. The
crowd was n good natured and Jolly ono and
everybody there seemed bent upon an appro
priate observance of the Fourth. Every
patriotic sentiment of the orators of the day
was cheered lustily and the enthusiasm of
the assemblage was an inspiration to the
speakers.
Crowded with Visitor * .
At no time during the day was the
weather oppressively warm and after the
slight noonday shower the weather became
cool and bracing. The greater number of
the visitors arrived early In the forenoon ,
most of the excursion trains from abroad
entering the grounds by not later than 0 or
10 o'clock. As usual , most of the visitors
had either heard of or been the victims of
the rapacity of the World's fair restaurants ,
and a great number came fixed with
capacious lunch baskets.
The commemorative exercises of the day
began promptly at 11 a. m. Lone before that
hour the space for hundreds of feet sur
rounding the grand stand was thronged with
spectators ana every prominent arrival was
greeted with cheers. At 10 o'clock Mayor
Harrison , the city officials and the common
council entered In carriages , preceded by the
band of the Second regiment , Illinois Na
tional Guard. The exercises opened with
music from the Immense chorus assembled
by Director Pratt. Nearly 2,000 , singers
wore marshaled around the stana. groups
being stationed in the galleries of the ter
minal station. The front gallery of the
Mines and Mining building andiiu the bal
cony of Machinery hall there were 'four
bands distributed at regular intervals about
the plaza.
When Mayor Harrison , the common coun
cil and the escorting citizens and exhibitors
arrived at the grand stand , Director General
George R. Davis , who presided over the ex-
ercisos''aroso a'nd called the assemblage to
order. As ho did so Colonel W. H. Clatko of

venson when ho stepped forward.
Mayor Carter H. Harrison of Chicago was
the next speaker introduced. Ho was given
a hearty greeting by the assembled thous
ands.
As ho ended his speech the booming of
cannon aud tlio ringing of bells announced
that it was high noon. Mrs. Mary Madco
Morris stepped quickly across the platform
and touched the telegraph key and the
clicking of the instrument announced to the
cities and towns all over the country that
It was noon In Chicago and that the original
"Old Glory" was being hoisted. It carried
the news to Troy and the now Liberty boll
sounded its first notes.
While the instrument was yet clicking ,
Mrs. H. H. B. Stafford , bowed with the
weight of three score years and ten , with
trembling hands , seized the halyards and
pulled aloft the historic Paul Jones flag.
The vast throng stood silent with uncov

came a mighty shout that drowned the uolso
of booming cannon and clanging bells.

platform sat those who were to deliver the
"long" and "short" talks.
Shortly after 1 o'clock the members of the
society wended their way to tho'platform ,
headed by Mayor Gllroy , who Is grand
sachem of the order. When the applause
which greeted their arrival died away the
mayor and grand sachem , wearing his hat
and decorated with the emblems ot the
order , arose nnd opened the proceedings
with words of welcome.
The society's scribe , Maurice F. Holnhan ,
then road the Declaration of Independence.
Spcnkor Crttp's Urntlon.
Then cnmo Speaker Crisp in the first of
the long talus. Ho began with a burst of
patriotism and said that although on this
July 4 there worn conditions which produced
uneasiness , yet there were still many things
of which to boast. But.they had not all
they wanted. If there was uneasiness , un
certainty , stagnation of trade , It could
bo charged up to the icpubllcnn
party , Iho laws which brought
about these conditions , were republican
laws , [ enacted against the protests
of democrats , but they-should ba thankful
that by the votes of _ the people last Novem
ber the democratic party had sot up house
keeping at Washington on behalf of the
nation. When congress assembled on August
7 , as far as things could bo remedied by leg
islation , ho was confluent that laws would
bo enacted which would restore confidence
and bring prosperity again to the nation.
Congressman Benton McMillan of Tetiuos-
see came next. His speech bristled with
patriotic epigrams and references to Thomas
Jefferson and was punctuated by the explo
sion ol fireworks.
The next speaker was Congressman Clark
of Missouri. The speech was of the post
prandial order , and excited lots of fun.
Kloiiucnt Mr ; IVUinvH.
Congressman John R. Fellows of Now
York followed. His was the irfost eloquent
speech of the day , brimful of glowing seutl-
monts and of smooth and easy diction. He
dwelt upon the meaning of the celebration.
Ho mndo no reference to current politics , but
ended by sayintr that n mightier hand than
any human hand had inspired the Declara
tion of Independence and guided the
nation in its future destiny. The men of the
continental congress were among the purest
that ever existed. No taint or suspicion
spoiled thsir hands and in that lay-lieir
great measure of success. France , when she
undertook to overthrow tyranny , set up
anarchy nnd failed. And still , ho said ,
tyranny and despotism were over to bo pre
ferred to communism nnd anarchy. And
that the country with its hospitality was
not broad enough for those foreigners who
coir.o hero to disturb the fabric uf our laws.
Secretary McGoldrick next read letters of
regret from distinguished personages. Presi
dent Cleveland , under date of Juno 10 , wrote
to Richard Croker thus :
Sir. Cleveland's Letter.
InAU Sin : I resrofc'lliat" ! am unable to ac

however , the coinmemori'.tlon of thu discovery
of the land wo occupy ard the celebration of
the dny on which It wugconsecrated to liberty
and popular government are coincident , the
occasion should revive and stimulate all the
ennobling and patriotic .sentiments which are
cssenlliil to the safety and the perpetuity of
American legislation.
At this tlmo It Is llttlns that we rejolco In

Thmo has never been u time when our
countrymen should bo more soberly re

egate their duties and obligations
of cltl/cnshlp nor neglect to cultivate
tholr Individual and personal Interests In pub
lic affairs. If those who now celebrate the an
niversary of American independence guard
against the sordid struggle for unearned
wealth that stlllcs patriotism ; If we exact
from public servants the strictest accounta
bility in the purfurmanco of public duties ; it
Ihuy hold fast to the American Ideas that work
Is honorable mm that economy is a viituu ; If
they Insist there should bo honesty and clean

PAHIS , July fi. 1 u. in. [ Now Yorlc Herald
Cable Special to Tun BEE. ] Without us
yet increasing In gravity tlio disorders hi the
fxitln quarter are assuming an ugly aspect.
Not more than 10 per cent of the manifest-
ants are students , while the rest of the
rioters are composed of Paris rowdies , strik
ing cahuicn and unemployed workmen.
Consequently the struggle between the
rioters and the police Is assuming a savage
character. The police strike with energy
aud the mauifostants strike hack with
violence. Ono policeman was tied hand and
foot and almost killed before ho was rescued.
The omnibuses were stopped and unlmr-
ncsscd at Go'elock in the Place St. Gorman
Deprcs , where u violent struggle took place
and the pollco were forced to charge in order
to disperse the mob.
The ovonlng has been an excited ono
throughout the cntiro Latin quarter , wiilcli
is now completely occupied by the polico.
The circulation of all vehicles has been
stopped and all the shops are closed. Along
the boulevards and in all parts of the city
lying on the right bank of the Sclno there is
no sign of any disorder.
Itcculnr Pitched Itnttlc.
After G o'clock last evening the struggle
between the police and the rioters assumed
a more serious character and a regular
pitched battle was fought on the Boulevard
St. German. The newspaper kiosqucs and
the chalets do nccesslto were smashed or
overturned. Thirty omnibuses and tram
way cars were stopped and upset. At every
point wiring stones and plaster were thrown
at the policemen , who defended themselves
with drawn sabers. Many persons on both
sides were wounded.
After an interlude the battle began again
at 10 o'clock with greater fierceness than
over. The mob pot the best of the police ,
whereupon the mounted munlclp.il guard
charged , but without succeeding in dispers
ing tlio crowd until the Cuirassiers and a
regiment of the line arrived upon the scene.
It was , however , unneccessnry for these
troops to take any active part in the struggle.
At present all is quiet on the left bank of
the river , but that part of the city has the
appearance of a town taken by assault , as
all the thoroughfares are guarded by troops.
There are very serious symptoms indicat
ing that trouble may breakout this evening
at Bclloyillo und at the Place Plgullo on
the exterior boulevards. All is quiet on the
other side of the city.
The interment of Nougcr will take place
tomorrow at 7 o'clock in the morning. In
political circles much dissatisfaction at the
action of the government exists and if the
disorders continuo for another twenty-four
hours Parliament may overthrow the min
istry. M. Lozo , the prefect of police , has
not yet resigned. Ho and the municipal
council are not in agreement as ; to what
should bo done to put an end to the trouble.
