Peace Jubilee of Chicugo, was inaugurated
Sunday night with a union thanksgiving
service at the Auditorium, President Me
Kinley attended and listened to addresses
by a Jewish rabbi, a Roman Catholic priest,
a Presbyterian clergyman and a noted eol-
ored orator. The applause for the Presi-
dent was terrific and at one time he was
compelled to rise in his box and respond to
the frantic cheering of the audience. The
services, however, were of a religious char-
acter,
The President rested during the greater
part of the day at the residence of Capt.
Lafayette McWilliams, bis reiative, where he
is being entertained. Fora short time in
the afternoon be was taken for a drive in
company with Mrs. McKinley, Capt. Mc Wil-
Hams and Mrs, McWilliams,
The party was driven to the Auditorium
at 8 o'clock, and all along the way people
lined the streets to watsh the passage of the
President's carriage. Easily 12,000 people
wers within the great Auditorium,
The President was seated in a box and
with him were Alexander H, Revell; Presi
dent William R. Harper, of the University
of Chlengo; Captain McWilllams and Becre-

occupants of the other boxes were James
McKinley, the President's nephew; Secre-
tary Wilson and Miss Wilson, Becretary and

RESULYS OF THE WARK.
Grave Possibilities Which This Gevern-
ment is About to Assume,
A Washington special says: Most true
were the words of the President in his
Omaha speech, when, in referring to the
duties and responsibilities devolved upon
this country by the war wiih Spain, he sald:
““The problems will not be solved in 8 day.”
The President, as told by one who listened
to him, uttered these words In & manner so
solemn and impressive as to thrill every one
present, There is no doubt he felt the force
of his own utterances and realized his own
tromendous share in the responsibility of a
happy or unhappy solution.
The appreciation of the greatness of the
questions which eonfront the executive and
the legisiatiye brunches of the government
grows daily here, and the conviction Is In-
tensified that it may require all the wisdom
and discretion concentrated in both branches
to decide rightly and avoid the pitfalls of
national disaster which lie on every side,
The policy of Spain, it Is too apparent, is
one of procrastination, Should this not be
sternly and decisively resisted, it Is not dif.
cult to foreses wo might still be negotiating
twelve months from now, with no prospect
of reaching conclusions of importance, But,
as is understood, this government is not to
be put aside in any such manner. No doubt
exists that, irrespective of what transpires
at Paris or Madrid, the authority of this]
government will be fully and firmly estab- |
lished over all the territory in €ODIrOYErsy |
at the time decided upon by the President |
before the beginning of the peace negotia-|
tions, : i
After ail, however, these are merely the |
preliminaries, and only subsequent to pOs- |
session will come the disposition of the]
problems, which the President, with pro- |
phetic warning, says cannot “be solved in a
day.” Expansion is currently accepted us |
the policy of the Executive, and the trend of |
events is surely giving strength and infla-
ence to that policy. Whether the couniry |
will or not, it does not seem possible to pre- |
vent the great Atlantie and Pacifie colonies
of Spain from belpg thrown into our inps.
Porto Rico actually and completely fell into |
our lap Tuesday, and, as we know, fell to}
stay. Cuba and the Philippines will soon |
follow, and then the first great question i
whether we shall keep them permanently. |
There can be po controversy as the |
point that they any clreumstiances
remain under the jurisdiction of the United

It js believed at the Navy Department
