Chicago. Oct. 10. Chicago's great ,
Auditorium never held a greater gath
ering than last night, when the Chi
cago day banquet was held within its
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
Kinley, 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 i
Vice President Don Ignacio Mariscal
of Mexico, Premier Wilfrid Laurier of
Canada, General John C. Black, Gov- j
ornor John R. Tanner, Mayor Carter
H, Harrison, Senor Manuel Dp Asplroz,
Secretaries Hay, Gage, Smith. I-ong,
Hitchcock and Wilson, Attorney Gen
eral Griggs, Generals David B, Hen
derson, Morritt, Anderson and Alger,
Carl Dentrer, Dr. Emll O, Hlrsch, min
ister to Brastl, Charles Page Bryan, :
W. T. Buchanan. Japanese Minister '
Jutaro Koroura and Senators Mason,
Allison, McMillan, McEnery, Penrose
and Cullom.
The opening hour of the banquet was
Mt for t 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 see
the parade of the eventng that It was
with difficulty one could make his way
along the streets, and as a consequent "
it was nearly an hour later than that ,
originally set when the banquet was
;n full blast.
The material part of the banquet oc
rupied 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 Laurier of Canada, Vice
President Mariscal of Mexico, Secre
tary Long, D. B. Henderson and Gen
eral Thomas M. Anderson.
Secretary Iong evoked thunders oi
applause by his tribute to the unknown
heroes. He said In part:
"You cheer for the men behind the
guns; 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 Watnwrtght?"
Premier Laurier, 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
McKlnley 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 And that there Is
between us a true genuine affection.
'I hero 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, Asyrta, 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
great 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 laws and nos
trils were burned red and green fire
1a quantities that lit up the parade
ior blocks.

CORNELIUS VANDERBILT'S WILL
It Will Give III Two Eldest Sons Over
gffO.OOO.UOO 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
bilt would prove to be: "Mrs. Van
derbllt will get the Fifth avenue resi
dence and the 'Breakers' at Newport
for life, and an Income of $600,000 a
year to keep them up. These houses
and the Income allotted to Mrs. Van
derbilt will at her death pass to the
third son, Reginald. The five children
will receive $10,000,000 apiece, and the
residue of the estate will be divided
into two equal parts, one of Which
will be given to Cornelius and the
other to Alfred Gwynne Vandorbllt.
Mr. Vanderbllt was I thick, far richer
than he was popularly supposi .' to be,
and I believe the shares of his two
oldest sous will be over $50,000,000
apiece."

The latest dispatch from LourOUXQ
Marques, relating to the chasing of the
the steamer Guelph by the cruiser
i Philomel, caused some stir, especially
1 as it was announced that the Guelph
had landed at Durban 414 cases of am
munition for the liners. There Is a
pretty general feeling thai ammuni
tion 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
months' supply Of bread and other
military requisites rendered necessary
i by the absence of the bulk of the army
service corps, whom the war office thus
j evidently calculates will be at home
! again by the beginning of May.
11 appears that although the war
office called up L'J.OOO reservists, only
1 the pick of them, some 6,000. will be
! retained with tho colors, The autborl
I ties are pleased at the application of a
number of reservists belonging to the
1 untnoblllted classes w ho are volunteer
. Ing for foreign service. Tho war of
l flee announces that wives of reservists
will get six pence and each child two
pence daily while the husbands and
fathers are retained with the colors.
The scarcity of news from South Af

block on the telegraph lines, which
may mean that the lines are occupied

mated that 13,000 are now concen

'skilled Iron workers who accompanied
b i in 1 1 o Egypt to erect the bridge over
I Atbara river, in the Soudan, arrived
I In New Ycrk Thursday opening on the
steamship Servia and
pre given a
royal welcome when they reached the
Pencoyd works yesterday. They are
lookeil upon as heroes by their thou
sands of fellow workmen, and the
whole force turned out to greet them.
Work was suspended, whistles were
blown and quite a demonstration was
made. The rapidity of the completion
of the Atabara bridge by the Pencoyd
company has attracted the attention
of the world, though Superintendent
Wennas remarked that he did not re
gard the achievement as a great one.
He said that if he could have bad a
big force of American helpers to assist
him in the erection of the bridge, in
stead of the convicts, the only help
available, he could have finished the
work even quit ker than It was done.
The English government wanted a
steel bridge built for its military road
In Egypt, and wanted It built in ;t
hurry. No English or European con
structors could be found with capacity
or sufficient energetic action to un
dertake the work, and the Pencoyd
company took the contract on Feb.
t last The structural parts of tho
seven spans, each IfO feet long, weigh
ing 650 tons, and I he cylinder caps,
weighing til tons, were rapidly pre
pared .ind were shipped from New
York April 'J). The material arrived
at its destination in the latter part of
May. Superintendent Wennas and hit
seven skilled assistants were on hand,
and In two months after tin lr arrival
the completed Btructure w.is turned
ever to the English government, an
almost unprecedented piece of eu
gineerlng enterprise.
