Nearly One Hundred Thousand Persons Participate in the Procession. ALL TRADES FOR SCUND MONEY With Flaming Torch and Stirring Music Bryan Supporters Hold an Evening Demonstration. CHICAGO, Iin, Oct. 9.—Twenty-five years ago to-das the city of Chicago was 1aid waste by the most disastrous fire that has ever wrought destruction in an Ameri- | can city. To-day, in commemoration of that day of dreadful havoc and suffering, a magnificent metropolis, so far exceeding the old city in wealth, beauty and popula- st comparisons are useless, if not impossible, celebrated the rebuild- the parade, and lent their assistance In stirring up the enthusiasm of spectators, who looked on from every position of van- tage along the line of march. The balcony of the Auditorium annex was the reviewing stand for the free-siver parade, and from it Vice-President Stev- enson, United States Senator Henry M. Teller anc many other noted Demo- crats reviewed the marching followers of Bryan and Sewall as they passed. The parade left the Columbus statue on the lake front at 8 . . The line of march was along Michigan avenue to Ran- dolph street, then west to Fifth avenue, to Jackson street, east to Michigan avenue, and thence to Tattersall's where the speeches for the occasion were delivered. Major Edgar B. Tolmer was the chief marsl’mi, and the parade was held under the auspices of the United Silver clubs of Cook County. The parade. which con- sisted of six divisions, was led by a | cavalry brizade. Then came the Cook | County Democracy, followed by clubs from South Side wards and towns. This constituted the first division, and was in charge of Marshal William J. O’Brien. Marshal Joseph Daze was in charge of the second division, which consisted of the Carter and Harrison Association and the trades and labor unions. All clubs and organizations from North Side wards made up he third division, and Marshal James A. Brachtendorf was in command. German organizations formed the fourth division. The fifth division consisted of all West Side organizations, and the sixth and last division included all unassigned organizations, bicycle clubs and members of American Railway unions. The demonstration in point of numbers | and enthusiasm was a grand success. The streets through which the procession | passed were crowded wit 1 spectators, and | they cheered the marching hosts wildly. | "As to display, the bprocession was scarcely as gorgeous as that 'of the gold | advocates in the daytime, but this was not unexpected, as the silver people gave it out early in the week that they would ing and progress of whatis now the second city in America. The anniversary was taken advantage of by local managers of the Presidential campaign to make a demonstration in advocacy of the present financial system, Republicans and gold Democrats joining forces under the direction of the Business Men’s Club in a parade, the equal of which never been seen in this city. As a counter demonstration the free- silver forces to-night had s torchlight | parade. Probably in the history of Chi- cago there never has been such a number i of people congregated on its streets. The sidewalks along the entire route of the parade were a congested mass of humanity, which was with great difficulty kept from blocking the streets by the constant ac- tivity of an immense detail of police. Not a streetcar was allowed to cross the river from the North or West sides, nor were any Southside cars permitted to evade the district set apart for the paraders. Every bridge was closed to vehicles and all traffic on downtown streets suspended. Banners and flags were swung at fre- quent intervals across the streets and from every balcony others floated. Many of the show windows also were elaborately decorated in honor of the occasion. Above the masses of people. above ever the skyscraping office buildings, rose a hty roar—chears, yells, music of in- nume: e bands, the tooting of horns, little and big, the penetrating bellowing of immense megaphones and the thousand and one other noises that mark the pass- ing of a great political parade. At two or three points along the line of | march immense open-mouthed telephone- ceivers were attached to wires leading | directly to the homesof William McKinley | and Garret A. Hobart and to vu!ious" Eastern cities,into which were announced | the names of each organization as the | great column passed, and then a mighty shout would go up that could be heard miles away. Observation stands had been erected at frequent intervals, and notonly were these filled to their utmost capacity, but every building had its throngs of spectators, filling its windows, some tenants even ing seats in desirable windows for a half dollar apiece. Many distinguished people from outside the city witnessed the parade, among them being Hon. Mark Hanna, who reached the city yesterday and who, in company with the members of the Repub- lican campaign committee, viewed the ts from the Union League Club, where the party took lunch, and Generals Palmer and Buckner, the anti-silver candidates. who watchea the parade from u stand in front of the Palmer House. Hon. Chaun- cey M. Depew and Secretary of Agricul- ture Morton were also interested specta- | tors, as were (irom adiffernt point of view | Senators Teller, Pettigrew and Dubois an Congressman Towne Promptly at 1C o’clock a cannon at the Lake Front Park gave the signal for the parade to move. Immediately General Joseph Stockton, who had charge of the vast army of volunteers representing almost every branch of industry in the ity, gave the order to march, and Mayor ft, Chief of Police Badenoch, Assistant Chief Ross, Inspectors Bonfield and Shea, at the head of a platoon of police, led the great host of industrial workers and politi- cal clubs on their triumphal tour of the business portion of the city, One trade alone had 10,000 representa- tives in line. These were the men who have in a few years crowded Chicago's packing industries to the front until they are among the foremost in the world. Employes of Armour & Co., Nelson, Morris & Co., Swift & Co. and other houses of | world-wide reputation made a mighty regiment, separated into companies by the many floats they had prepared. Mountea on their wiry and suppie mus- | tangs and wearing white sombrero hats, the cattle buyers, drovers and other em- ployes ot the Union Stockyards created wild enthusiasm wherever they rode, | There was something like a thousand of these mounted cattlemen, and they were all bronzed and sturdy looking men whose easy riding was a contrast to that of some of the men woo headed the downtown divisions. For the most part the parade was com- posed of marchers, for the number of peo- ple participating made this a necessity, otherwise the line of march would have been so long that it would have been im- possible to handle it. There was one no- table exception to this rule, and that was in the case of the older veterans of the Civil War, who had been espeeially solicited to join the parade, and they were all pro- yided with carriages. They rode through the ranks of people, and more than once a comrade on the sidewalk recognized a familiar face in the carriages, and would set up a cheer that was taken up by the crowd and swelled to & mighty roar of tribute to the grizzled defenders of the Nation. As the procession, with its platoon of blue coats and brass buttons at the head, moved slowly along the streets it was pre- ceded bv a welccmuig roar from the blocks of spectators that lined the road- way. The floats, and they were legion, roused enthusiasm and were greeted by cheers of admiration all along the line. One of the mest generally admired of these creations was that of the iron and steel trades, which was gotten up in bar- baric style, with a figure representing Vul- can sitting on an anvil. The rear guard of the pardde reached the dispersing point at 4 o’clock, the spec- tagle lysting s1x hours. Between 75,000 and 100,000 people participated in the line of march. Before the echo of the applause of the multitudes that witnessed the demonstra- tion for sound money and protection had died out the organized followers of Bryan from every quarter of the city, and almost in as great numbers, marched, with flam- ing torch, to stirring music poured forth by a score of bands, over very nearly the attempt nothing in the way of spectacular | effects. The bannere as a rule were of an imprompta order and many of the mot- | toes were trite in their application and | were wildly cheered at all points, one in | particular bearing the mscription, “No buzzards are watching,” caught the crowds on the sidewalk, va perceived | the point conveyed. A very pretty sight was a float on which were seated seventeen young ladies, of | whom sixteen were dressed in white with | silver ornaments and one decked with gold. The significance of this created nn- bounded enthusiasm. The young ladies responded to the applause by waving American flags. Bryan lithographs in profusion were noticeable, and cries or ‘‘What's the matter with Bryan?” *‘He’s all right,” resounded on all sides. Abont fifty bands, each of which discoursed patriotic and martial music, were in attendance. Scarcely a man in the parade but had a horn or instrument of some kind to add to_the noise of the occaslon. No time was lost in the movement of the immense body, a double quick step being the order. Over 30,000 men were in line, the mnorth and south divisions moving first, the west side contingent joining in when the rear of the first two reached Randolph and Market streets. A conservative estimate put the number of people on the down streets at 600,000. INJURED O» THE STREETS. Ambulances Kept Busy Conveying Men and Women to Hospitals. CHICAGO, IrL., Oct. 9.—The mammoth parades which have just been finished in this city were two of the best-conducted affairs of the kind ever held here. While there were a number of small -accidents they were unavoidable and no fatalities are reported. The police ambulances were kept busy, however, carrying men and women who had fainted on the streets and removing those injured in one way and another. About thirty criminals were arrested, being mostiy pickpockets. Among those injured during the day were: Lawrence French, struck by an electric car, skull fractured; Mrs. and Miss Murdock, scalp wounds from being knocked over by electric cars; John Schummels, pushed off car, head injured; Eli Bathwick, fell off ladder while watch- ing parade and broke left leg; Andrew | O’Hearn, run over by mail wagon, taken | to hospital; Michael Cahill, left knee-cap | broken ; Tom Maguire, ear badly lacerated | by being stepped on; L. F. Fagonette, | right eye severely m}ured by a cane. A crowd of McKinley men took posses- | sion of a Bryan speaker and lifted him | bodily and threw him into the river. But | for the fact that a tug was passing at the time the man might have been drowned. | He was hauled out and went away with | his clothing dri MINES GRADUALLY RESUMING. Militia Escort and Protect the Men Im- ported to Work in the Leadville District. LEADVILLE, Coro., Oct. 9.—The big mines are gradually resuming. New men are applying for work almost daily. Quite anumber are straggling in here in twos and threes from outside towns, ana 108 men were brouznt frrom Joplin, Mo., this afternoon. They were met four miles be- low Leadville by a company of citizen solaiers, who escorted them into the city, where they were met by 200 infantry, twenty-five cavalrymen and two artillery pieces and escorted to the little Johnny mine in safety. The Johuny has now 175 men ana will resume work to-morrow. Quite a crowd followed the men and soldiers up to the mills, but very little dis- position to provoke trouble was manifested. One striker cursed a soldier, who struck him on the head with the butt of his gun. After this no more interference occurred. It was snowing and turning cold when the men arrived, but the troops willingly | obeyed orders and walked from the depot to the little Jobnny Mine in slush and snow, a distance of four miles, Cornelius McHugh was bound over to his preliminary hearing in the sum of $1000. He was the leading gunsmith here and it is charged that he secured guns for the strikers. pocuidl Sy NO LONGEER A FLAGSHIP, The Charleston to Be Altered to a Ningle Command Cruiser. WASHINGTON‘ D. C., Oct. 9.—The flag- ship Charleston is to be altered to a single command cruiser at the navy-yard, Mare Island, Cal. This decision was had by the Board of Naval Burean this afternoon without a dissenting vote. The vessel will also be put in thorough repair, after seven years of the most arduous services of any ship in the new navy, the work requiring eight months’ time and an expenditure of $200,000. The Charleston has been the smallest flagship in the navy. She was fitted with admiral’s quarters because at the time of her construction so few vessels were available for that duty, Now, however, about 65 ner cent of her berth was tuken up for officers’ quarters, and her crew space was badly cramped. The changes now ordered will ren.edy this defect and give the sailors more breathing and sleeping space. The change is made possible by the fact that there are three flagships on the Pacific, and the new battie-ship No. 9 to be built at San Francisco wiil have accommoda- tions for an admiral. The Charleston has beea continuously on the go since she was commissioned, December 26, 1889. Besides her chase aiter the Itata and her long run to attend the naval review at Hampton roads, she has steamed up anl down the Pacific Coast of this continent several times, made voyages to China and tours to Hawaii during the exciting times there, OF THE CASTLES Denied Bail, but Given Extra Privileges in Hollo- way Jail. Physicians Examine the Accused Woman to Ascertain Her Mental Condition. KLEPTOMANIA THE DEFENSE. Diplomats and Business Men Unite in Trying to Clear the Ac- cused Couple. LONDON, Exa., Oct. 9.—Physicians have examined Mrs, Castle since her incarcera- tion in Holloway Jail with a view of ascer- taining her exact mental condition, and their examination has resulted in the de- termination to support the defense in obtainimeg the services of special experts to appear at the hearing of the case of the lady and her husband, which will come up next Tuesday. The lawyers retained have not yet been successful in their efforts to obtain bail for their clients. Hon. J. N. Roosevelt, Secretary of the United States Embassy, will see Mr. and Mrs. Castle in Holloway Jait this after- noon and will afterward have a conference with the lawyers of the accused in regard to the procuring of bail for their release pending trial. It is not likely, however, that an application for theirladmission to bail will be made until the defendants are again brought into court, which will be on Tuesday, October 13. Mr. and Mrs. Castle are being made as comfortable as possible during their detention in jail. The authorities permit them to wear their ordinary clothes and to provide their own food. In addition to these privileges Mr. Castle and his wife have been provided with better rooms than prisoners are usually permitted to occupy. Mrs. Castle is very much depressed, and the American Embassy will make especial efforts to obtain bail for her, if their en- deavors to secure the release of both her- self and husband under bonds should be successful. United States Consul-General Patrick A. Collins, L. E. Lathrop, United States Consul at Bristol, and a large num- ber of Liverpool and London merchants have signified their willingness to vouch for the good character of Mr. Castle. Colonel McFarlane, the agent in Liver- pool of the sugar firm of the Spreckelses of San Francisco, and Mr. McNair, a promi- nent merchant at Liverpool, came to Lon- don yesierday, traveling in a special train, for the purpose of assisting Mr. Roosevelt in his interview with the officials in behalf of the Castles. The in- terview was heid, but the officials said thav at the present stage of the case they were unable to act. Magistrate Newton of the Great Marl- borough-street Police Court, before whom Mr. and Mrs. Castle were arraigned, was next applied to, but he informed his callers that under the law he couid only hear applications for bail in open court. It is now understood that the police are in possession of additional evidence against Mrs. Castle but nothing against Mr. Castle. It is generally believed that the defense will plead kleptomania on the part of Mrs, Castle, and it is with this view that the lady has been examined by medical ex- perts. When Mr. Roosevelt, first secretary of the Unitea States Embassy, saw Mr. and Mrs. Castle in Holloway Jail to-day he was accompanied by Mr. Hodson. Mr. Castle showed signs of the deepest depression and when he started to speak to Mr. Roosevelt he broke down completely and cried like a child. He exclaimed: “We are both innocent. I hope my mother in San Francisco will not hear of thisasit will kill her if she does.” Mr. Roosevelt says that heleft the prison convinced that if any man is innocent Mr. Castle 1s. He added that he can only think the wife is not in her right mind. Police Inspector Arrow said to-day: “I am sorry for the man, but I cannot under- stand why he did not know there was so much plunder in his wife’s possession. Knowing of his wealth I have advised against the prisoner being admitted to bail.” CHINA SILK THE WINNER, Marcus Daly’s Filly Captures the Ken- tucky Subvrban. LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 9.—The Ken- tucky suburban for two-year-olds was the attraction here this afternoon. The at- tendance was large and the weather was warm and the sport first-class. There were seven starters in the futurity, of which China Silk was an odds on favorite. She was the entry of Marcus Daly, the Montana copper king, and, as she had never lost a heat, the talent was certain she would win. Soe led in both heats all the way round and won in grand style, the second heat in 2:161{, which is next to the best two-year-old race of the season. The only thing that could keep within reach of her was the Tennessee colt, Pres- tou, he making a very pretty contest, but the filly could move away from him at any point.

CHICAGO, IrL., Oct. 9.—Play in the Australia-All Chicago cricket game was resumed on the Wanderers’ grounds this morning in beautiful weather. The at- tendance was the largest ever seen ata cricket game in Chicago, 8 number of the spectators coming from - other . towns. Gregory and Darling, the not-outs, re- sumed their inning at 11:30 o’clock, Hen- derson and Wilmot having charge of the attack. Darling made a three and com- pleted his half century, but was bowled out by Wilmot in his second over. Gregory returned an easy catch to Hen- derson, and half the wickets were down for 74. Kelly, after being missed from a hot drive to Wilmot, was well caught at long by Captain Anson. Trottand Giffen stayed together until the luncheon inter- val and on resuming the former made some big hits, but eventually sent one to Pfeffer, who made a splendid catcn. Graham and Giffen gave a pretty exhi- bition while together and stole a number of short runs. The former jumped in to drive Howell and was bowled. McKibben s{a\'ed for a time and was out with a total of 235. Giffen carried out his bat for a fine inning of 69. The other scores were: Kelly 6, Gregory 4, Trott 36, Eady 9, Gra- ham 27, McKibben 9, with 7 extras. The total was 225 or a lead of 130 runs. Chicago went in again and lost eight wickets for 53 runs, so that they need 77 runs to save a single inning’s defeat. Eady and McKibben were destructive, the former getting four wickets for 24 and the latter four for 21. The game will be finished to-morrow, the Australians leaving in the evening for 8an Francisco. o e iy RACING AT FRFESNO'S FAIR, Red Light, Stam 1+ and Grady Win Purses for Their Owners.

WILL NOT LEAD Liberals Must Select An- other Statesman to Head Their Party. The Ex-Premier Discusses the Remedies for Settling the Turkish Question. DISAGREES WITH GLADSTONE. Withdrawal of the British Embassa- dor From Constantinople Would Lead to Humiliation. EDINBURGH, Scorraxp, Oct. 9.— Speaking in this city to-night Lord Rose- bery, the ex-Premier, discussed the reme- dies that bad been suggested for the settlement of the Turkish question. Re- garding the proposal that Russia should take possession of Constantinople he said that the late Government (his own) had been extremely anxious to. arrive at an entente with Russia, and he was still in every way hoveful that a satisfactcry un. derstanding between Engiand and Russia would be reached. He urged the advo- cates of the proposal, however, to remem- ber the treatment that had been accorded the Poles by the Russians. Moreover, he asked, ‘How is Great Britain to give to Russia what is not hers?” Avowing veneration and unaltered friendship for Mr. Gladstone, Lord Rosebery said that he could not agree with the proposal made by the latter in his Liverpool speech to withdraw the British Embassador from Constantinople or to threaten action which could not be effected 1f the powers did not approve. Such a course wouid lead to humilia- tion. He differed with Mr. Gladstone in the condition that Englana was bound by the treaty to intervene in Turkey. This had been a dead letter ever since it had been signed.- He did not desire especially the retention of Cyprus and wou'd will- 1ngly give it to any power except Turkey. Lord Rosebery further declared that he was especially opposed to isolated action on the Turkish question. Such action would mean a European war with the slaughter of hundreds of thousands, threaten the existence of Great Britain and perhaps precede the enslavement of the Armenians. Any British Minister incurring a Euro- pean war, except through the direct neces- sity of interests distinctly British, would be & criminal to his country and 1o his position. Lord Roseber{ then referred to his retirement from the leadership of the Liberal party, saying that the difference of opinion on the Eastern question was only one of a series of incidenis that had induced him to resign. He added that he had not received the loyal support that a peerneeded, if he was to lead his party suc- cessfully. is government in its earl days had been defeated by its own fol- lowers. The policy he had suggested for the election had not been adopted. Finally Mr. Gladstone had innocently administered the coup Jde grace. The in- ternal differences in the party had beeu equul to the external differences. His action had been so hampered as to render his position untenable. Tihe meeting unanimously adopted a resolution expressing gratitude for the manner in which Lord Rosebery had led the party, deeply regretting his retire- ment and earanestly hoping that he would reconsider his action and resume the lead- ership. Lord Rosebery replied that his decision was the result of mature reflec- tion and had been taken with the convic- tion of its absolute necessity. The clubs here to-night were filled with membéra who eagerly awaited a report of Lord Rosebery’s speech at Edinburgh. The Central News was alive to the impor- tance of the occasion, and caused a col- umn of the speech to be put on the *“‘tick- ers” concurrent with its delivery. The report was devoured with avidity, and the references to the reasons that caused Lord Rosebery to throw up the leadership of his party were excitedly discussed. A great throng filled the National Liberal Club, which presented the appearance it does at the time of a great election. The Daily News (Liberal) contends that there is evidence of a rally to Lord Rose- bery, or rather a renewal of confidence in him which his speech will strengthen. The Chronicle, a Liberal paper, but op- posed to Lord Rosebery as a leader, at- tacks him bitterly, accusing him of total indifference to the sufferings of the Ar- menians. His speech, the msex- declares, was evidently an attempt to discredit the agitation in their support. It says that it regrets that Lord Rosebery thought it necessary to express respect for Mr. Glad- stone, upon which the speech was an at- tack. —_—— Gladstone or Rosebery. LONDON, Ex@, Oct. 9.—The Midland Liberal Federation has called a meeting for the purpose of offering the leadership of the Liberal party to Gladstone, and in the event of the refusal of the ex-Premier to assume the leadership, to reaffirm their confidence in the leadership of Lord Rosebery. REVIEWS THE FRENCH TROOPS. Russia’s Czar and Czarina Witness a Great Demonstration at Chalons - Arranged in Their Honor. PARIS, France, Oct. 9.—The weather at Chalons was rainy and altogether dis- agreeable at daybreak, threatening to mar the effect, if not absolutely prevent, the review of the troops in honor of the Czar, but at 10 o’clock the skies had cleared and the day was asfine as could be desired. It is reported here that the Czar and Czarina will revisit Paris in the spring and remain three weeks. The grand review of the troops at Chalons began at noon. His Majesty appeared on horseback, fronting the troops. President Faure and the Czarina sat together 1n a landau. The trains arrived at C! ns through- out the afternoon as rapidly and fre- quently as they could be handled and were packed to suffocation within and crowds hung upon the footboards outside the cars.
