mier Laurler'a Friendly Speech.
Chicago, Oct. 10. Chicago's great
Auditorium never held a greater gath
ering than laat night, when the Chi
cago day banquet was held within ita
walls under the auspices of the fall
festival committee. The great stage,
upon which 1,000 people can easily
find standing room, had been enlarged
and a great floor built out over the
seats of the parquet, quadrupling the
floor space of the stage. President Mc
Klnley, who was the guest of honor,
Hat at a raised table on the right of
Melville E. Stone, the toastmaster.
Other distinguished guests were at
the same table, among them being
Vice President Don Ignaclo Marlscal
of Mexico, Premier Wilfrid Laurler of
Canada, General John C. Black, Gov
ernor John R. Tanner, Mayor Carter
H. Harrison, Senor Manuel Dc Asplroz,
Secretaries Hay, Gage, Smith, Long,
Hitchcock and Wilson, Attorney Gen

Carl Dentrer, Dr. Emll O, Hlrsoh, min
ister to Brazil, Charles Page Bryan,
W. T. Buchanan, Japanese Minister
Jutaro Komura and Senators Mason.
Allison, McMillan, McEnery, Penrose
and Cullom.
The opening hour of the banquet was
pet for 6 o'clock, but the streets wen?
so densely packed by the great throng
that had come down to witness the
laying of the corner stone of the new
federal building and the afternoon pa
rade and remained In great part to sec
the parade of the evening that It was
with difficulty one could make his wa
along the streets, and as a consequence
it was nearly an hour later than that
originally set when the banquet was
in full blast.
The material part of the banquet oc
rupled two hours, and it was nearly
10 o'clock when Mr. Stone rapped for
order, and brought the Intellectual por
tion of the program to the front in an
eloquent address. He was followed
by Governor Tanner, Mayor Harrison,
Senator McCullom, President McKin
ley, Premier Laurler of Canada, Vice
President Mariscal of Mexico, Secre
tary Long, D. B. Henderson and Gen
eral Thomas M. Anderson.
Secretary Iong evoked thunders 01
applause by his tribute to the unknown
heroes. He said in part:
"You cheer for the men behind the
gnns; you give swords and banquets
here and there to an admiral and
both most richly deserve the tribute
but remember that all up and down the
line there are individuals whose names
never come to our ears, or if so. are
already half forgotten, who have earn
ed unfading laurels. No man In the
navy has rendered such service, how
ever great, that others were not ready
to fill the place and do as well. The
navy Is full of heroes unknown to
fame. Who repeats the names of the
young officers who pleaded for Hob
son's chance to risk his life in the hull
and hell of the Merrimac? Who men
tions the scores of seamen who beg
ged to be of the Immortal seven who
were his companions In that forlorn
hope? In the long watch before San
tiago the terror of our great battle
ships was the two Spanish torpedo
boat destroyers. Yet when the great
battle came it was the unprotected
Gloucester, a converted yacht, the
former plaything and pleasure boat of
a summer vacation, which without
hesitation or turning attacked these
demons of the sea and sunk them
both. I have always thought It the
most heroic and gallant Individual in
stance of fighting during the war. And
yet who has given a sword or spread a
feast to that purest flame of chivalrous
heroism, Richard Walnwrlght?"
Premier Laurler, In the course of
his address, made this reference to
International disputes:
"I am proud to say, In the presence
of the chief executive of the United
States, that it Is the belief of the Can
ndlan government that we should make
a supreme effort to better our relations
and make the government of President
McKinley and the present government
of Canada, with the assent of Great
Britain, so to work together as to
remove all causes of dissension between
us. May I he permitted to say here
and now that we do not desire one
Inch of your land, but If I state, how
ever, that we want to hold our land,
will that be an American sentiment,
I want to know? I am here to
say above all, my fellow country
men, that we want not to stand upon
the extreme limits of our rights. We
are ready to give and to take. But
though we have many little bickerings
of that kind, I speak my whole mind,
and I believe I speak the mind of all
you gentlemen, when I say that after
all. when we go down to the bottom of
our hearts we will find that there Is
between us a true genuine affection.
1 here are no two nations today on the
face of the globe so united as Great
Britain and the United States of
America."
The most spectacular feature of the
entire fall festival, the parade of all
nations, took place last night, and was
viewed by thousands, the streets In the
down town district being literally a
solid mass of humanity for the entire
length of the parade. The parade, in
which marched representatives of 14
countries. Including Germany, Vene
zuela, Switzerland, Brazil, the Nether
lands, Austria and Hungary, Scotland.
Armenia, Asyrla, Belgium, China. Italy
and the United States, Included nearly
thirty floats, some of them extremely
beautiful and novel. The one that at
tracted the most attention was the
greet Chinese dragon, which was ship
ped here from San Francisco for the
all-nations parade. The dragon, which
was nearly three hundred feet long,
was carried on the shoulders of 200
men, and In Its Immense Jews and nos
trils were burned red aad green fire
in quantities that lit up the parade
for blocks.

CORNELIUS VANDERBILT'S WILL
ItWIll Give Ilia Two Eldest Sons Over
SO.OOO.OOO Apiece.
New York, Oct. 10. The Tribune
says: A close friend of the Vander
bllt family yesterday made the fol
lowing prediction as to what the con
tents of the will of Cornelius Vander
bllt would prove to be: "Mrs. Van
derbllt will get the Fifth avenue resi
dence and the 'Breakers' at Newport
for life, und an income of $500,000 a
year to keep them up. These houses
and the income allotted to Mrs. Van
derbllt will at her death pass to the
third son, Reginald. The five children
will receive $10,000,000 apiece, and the
residue of tho estate will be divided
Into two equal parts, one of which
will be given to Cornelius and the
other to Alfred Gwynne Vandorbllt.
Mr. Vandcrbilt was I thir.k, far richer
than he was popularly lupposi ' 10 i.e.
and I believe the shares of his two
oldest sous will be over $50,000,000
apiece."

Holzondorf, aged 61 years, a native of
Germany, but for some vears an Amer
ican citizen, arrived here yesterday to
lay before the state department an In

alleged Illegal detention In an Insane
asylum In Berlin for over 15 months.

had taken out naturalization papers
In the United States. He appeared be
fore the police officials In Berlin, he as
serts, to set up a claim for a previous

rejection. It is very doubtful whether
one would be received by our govern

jection of being an American citizen,

sentative the United States might be
placed in the position of deciding the
merits of the contest as to suzerainty

THE BRIM rOLICY
In South Africa May Meet Radical
Opposition in Parliament.
ONLY FIVE THOUSAND RESERVES
Will He It. ( Mined With the Color The
Authorities Have Contracted For
Klirlit Months1 Supply of llrcad und
other Military Requisites.
London, Oct. 10. The dearth of news
since yesterday afternoon from the
Cape, on which all attention is rivet
led, is poorly compensated for by the
mass of minor details published con
cerning the preparatloni for the dis
patch of t lip army corps and specula
tion as to the length and character of
the debates when parliament meets,
In official circles there is said to be
apprehension that the radicals will
offer protracted opposition to the gov
ernment's policy in South Africa,
which will possibly make prorogation
and Christmas near neighbors.
Lord Salisbury's whip to the lords,
issued last nl in, says parliament will
1 deal with matters of grave moment,
The latest dispatch from Louienzo
Marquee, relating to the chasing of the
, the steamer Quelph by the cruiser
1 Philomel, caused some stir, especially
' as it was announced that the Quelph
1 had landed at Durban 414 cases of am
, munition for the Boers. There Is a
pretty general feeling thai ammunl
; tlon ought not to be allowed to be fur
; warded.
Some Indication of the war office
estimate of the duration of the cam-
. paign is given by the fact that the au
thorities have contracted for eight
mouths' supply of bread and other
; military requisites rendered necessary
I by the absence Of the hulk of the army
I service corps, whom the war office thus
evidently calculates will be at borne
! again by the beginning of May.
I It appears that although the war
ofllce called up 25,000 reservists, only
; the pick of them, some 6,000, will be
i retained with the colors. The author!-
I ties are pleased at the application of a
number of reservists belonging to the
1 Untnoblllied classes who are volunteer
ing for foreign service. Tho war of
fice announces that wives of roservlsts
will get six pence and each child two
pence dally while the husbands and
fathers are retained with the colors.
The scarcity of news from South Af
rica appears to be due to a heavy
block on the telegraph lines, which
muy mean that the linos are occupied
by oflli lal dispatches, and that nego
tiations are being actively carriod on.
From Durban it is announce.! that no
code messages will be accepted for any
port of South Africa without the pro
duction of the codes.
Advices from Pretoria say the
Netherlands railway management as
serts that over sOO carriages and
trucks belonging to the Transvaal are
now In the British colony. According
to those advices the burghers nre still
arriving at Sandspruit, and It is esti
mated that 13,000 are now concen
trated there. They are becoming very
much dissatisfied because of their In
activity, and heavy rains and bitterly
cold weather render the conditions
very trying for horses and men.
President Kruger, in the course of
an Interview yesterday, said he re
garded the situation as very grave,
and considered It very difficult to pre
dict coming events. The landing of
British reinforcements In Natal, he
said, did not trouble him, 11a bo had
full faith In the Almighty.
President Kruger is colobratlng his
76th birthday today.
