THE S FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20 189> e — b ADVERTISEMENTS, TERRIBLE CRUSH AT GREAT PEACE JUBILEE PARADE| Heroes of Two Wars March Past|g..0q the President and Are Cheered by Multitudes. Never Before Have Such Vast Crowds Aséem-|micxspzace savs/ EnoranD) bled in Chicago, Narrowly and- Disaster Is Averted. Special Dispatch to The Call CHICAGO, Oct. 19.—One brief gleam | of sunshine, and only one, has been | thrown upon the ceremonies of the| Peace Jubilee. It was a fleeting, ‘short | lived burst of*third-class sunshine, but | it fell upon the President’s reviewing stand just as the head of the great| jubilee parade was approaching, and | the dense crowd which lined the streets | accepted it as an augury of better| things and cheered lustily, but before they were half through with their| shouts the little shudder of light was | gone and the cold, dark, dismal weather | that from the first has dampened, fig- uratively and literally, the jubilee fes- | tivities, was on again in full force. | Chicago has seen many parades| greater than that of to-day, but she| has never seen one that pleased her people better, nor has there ever been a parade in this city which has been | witnessed by so many people. The| crowds in the streets were larger than | those which witnessed the great pa-| rade at the time of the dedication of the World's Fair buildings, almost ex- actly six years ago. There were more | stands—the larger stands erected for sightseers—than have ever been seen‘ here before. -All were filled to the ut- | most, and the number of people that | fillled the streets was such as has never been seen in this city before. | Notwithstanding the most elaborate ar- | rangements of the Poiice Department | the banishing of every street car and vehicle 0f every description from the | downtown streets, at the| crowd might an unobstructed | way, there were times to-day when the crowd was too great for the police to handle, and at many places the crush at times was dangerous. This was not the fault of the Police Department or of anybody. It was simply that the throng was greater than anybody had | expected, and simply the geometrical | proposition that a larger body cannot | be crowded into a smaller space. | After the parade the jam in Jackson | boulevard in front of the Union League Club house was frightful. Strong de- | tachments of police, soldiers and ma- | rines while attempting to arrest the | massingof the crowd were pushed back, | huddjed together and finally broken-up | and Acattered by the sheer weight of | the throng. Long after the parade was over the boulevard was a mass of surging, struggling humanity, which would not e and which could not be moved until it pleased. - The greetings extended to the Presi- dent were enthusiastic in the extreme, as were the plaudits showered upon General Miles and General Shafter as | they passed through the streets. The President in his carriage was surround- | ed .by members of the C sars, formed in & square, ments of the Grand Army and of Con- federate vetérans acted as an escort. He l2d the parade from the starting point at Congress street and Michigan avenue to the Union League Club house, where, in company with all other distingulshed guests, he alighted and teviewed the parade. Throughout the entire march past the stand, which lasted a trifle over three hours, the President remained standing, nor did he take a seat until after the platoon of police which formed the protecting line for the rear of the parade had passed down the boulevard. The Presidential party arrived at 1 o'clock. As fhe distinguished guests klighted from their carriages they were @ welcomed by Secretary Clark of the Union League Club, and immediately taken to the reviewing stand. A mighty cheer went up from the crowd s President McKinley took his place on the stand, escorted by Alex H. Re- vell. The following were among those on the President’s stand: Secretary and Mrs. Gage, Secretary Bliss, Secre- tary and Miss Wilson, Postmaster Gen- eral Smith, General Miles, General Bhafter, General Duffield, General Cor- bin, Samuel E. Morse, Governor Mount of Indiana, Mayor Malster of Balti- more, Mayor Maybury of Detroit, Ad- miral George Brown, the Chinese and Korean Ministers, Samuel Gompers, Judge Emory Speer, Assistant Secre- tary Meikeljohn, Libert E. Holden, Benor Quesada, Mayor Thomas Tag- gart, General A, W. Greely and wife, Governor Barnes of Oklahoma, Clark Howell, Governor Scofleld of Wiscon- sin, Archbishop Ireland, ex-Vice Presi- dent Adlai E. Stevenson and wife, Booker T. Washington and Dr. and Mrs. W. R. Harper and Captain Mc- Calla. In the reviewing stand proper there were the President, General Miles, Gen- eral Shafter, both in full uniform; Gov- ernor Tanner, Mayor Harrison and Thairman Truax of the jubilee com- mittee. The advance of the parade after the E’resldenunl escorts had wheeled out of he line of march was given to the vete- rans of the Grand Army, who were present in great numbers. Several of the posts carried gauzy old banners - that had waved in_ battle thirty-five years ago, and to every one of the tat- tered flags the President called the at- tention of those about him, and every ead was bare until the flag had gone y. Behind the veterans of a former ar came numerous civil socleties, rank after rank, until it seemed as though they would never end. Their gay uni- forms, bright with warm colors, and their many hues, stripes and sizes, made a brilliant and glowing pano- rama. Among them were the Clan Na Gael Guards of Chicago in full force, 600 strong, without weapons. Not a man carried a rifle, not an officer a pword. As the ranks of the regiment went past the reviewing stand a white gloved hand was at every cap to salute the President, and in protest, it was said, against the action taken by Gov- prnor Tanner last spring regarding the Beventh Infantry itself, an Irish regi- ment, for marching on St. Patrick's fay in the same parade as the Clan Na Gaels, the latter not being a State or- nization, and having, according to E;e statutes of Illinois, no réght to pa- rade under arms without the special permission of the State g.ovemment. After these came the Fourth regular Infantry from Fort Sheridan and then such of the flzhtlnir men_of CblP‘o who have returned from the war.” As the military division, commanded by gadier CGeneral Fitzsimmons of the linois National Guard, approached the eviewing stand the enthusiasm of the rrowd knéw no bounds. - A Nlagara of theers went up as in close set ranks the men of the naval reserve went by. Rightly or wrongly, the people of Illi- nois believe with all their hearts and all their souls that no States in the Union sent better sailors to the front than did she, and full of pride at the achievements of the navy in which’ these boys had borne a part, they greeted them with waving handker- chiefs and flags and cheers that brought the red blood to the cheeks of the marching boys. Then bright in new uniforms the Fourth regulars, un- der the command of Major Baker, came in sight. The ranks of the regiment which were sadly thinned in Cuba- were up again to nearly full strength, and notwithstanding the many recruits in the ranks the regiment marched in su- perb style, and from first to last the crowd was with them. The First Illi- nois, which gave more lives during the war than any Ilinois body of enlisted men, set the people frantic, the com- bination of local pride and patriotism being too much for a crowd not con- servative and to-day on edge with pa- triotism and excitement. The Seventh Infantry closed the parade, and its solid, well filled ranks were a long time in passing. Its brilliant marching and well worn uniforms added to the en- thusiasm, and Colonel Kavanaugh and his men were greeted in a mannef that none of them will ever forget. Directly the Seventh Infantry had passed the President left the reviewing stand, going into the clubhouse. Three cheers were given him as he left, and three cheers were near to being the death signal for many people. All day long the pressure of the crowd on the | police lines at the two ends of the square in the center of which the Union League clubhouse is situated Rad been enormous. Time after time the utmost efforts of the officers had been unable to withstand the weight of the crowd. | Their lines bad been frequently broken and the officers were well nigh ex- hausted with their long hours of hard | work. Tighter and tighter the croy-1became, and then came from women and men cries of distress and calls for help. A large stand had been erected on the north side of the square, opposite the clubhouse, on vacant groundg upon which the new Postoffice Is in coftrse of erection. All alcng the edge of this stand hands were reached to the strug- gling crowd below, and hundreds of men, women and children were dragged anyhow, everyhow by the arms and legs and shoulders into the stand above: Cloaks, overcoats and dress skirts were in shreds and in numerous instances torn completely from the body of the wearer as the rescuers above dragged them hastily over the railings. In many instances some of those who were be- ing hauled from the jam would be half- way up to safety, when those below would attach themselves with a frantic clutch to the upgoing man or weman, and then between the pulling above and the pulling below the person in the mid- dle would have a sorry minute or two. The crowd still lingered in front of the clubhouse and called for the President. He was at luncheon, but the crowd would not be denied and the President stepped once more on the reviewing stand, accompanied by President Revell of the Union League Club. As soon as quiet had been restored he spoke as fol- lows: 1 witness with pride and satisfactien the cheers of the multitude as vetérans of the civil war on both sides of the con- test have been reviewed. I’ witness with increasing pride the wild acclaim of the people as they watch the volunteers and regulars and our naval Treserves—the guardians of the people of land and sea— pass before your eyes. The demonstra- tion of to-day is worth everything—every- thing to our country, for I read in the faces and hearts of my countrymen the purpose to see to it that this great Gov- ernment, with its free institutions, shall never perish from the surface of the earth. (Great applause.) 1 wish 1 might take the hand of every patriotic man, woman and child here to- day. But I cannot do that (volce from the crowd. “But you've got our hearts”), and so 1 leave with you not only my thanks but the thanks of the great ga- tion for your patriotism and devotion, to the flag. ~ (Great cheering.)” After the conclusion of the Presi- dent’s remarks there were loud calls for General Miles and General Shafter, but neither of these gentlemen would make his appearance, and the crowd, after cheering the President as he left the clubhouse for the home of.Captain Mc- ‘Williams, slowly dlspersed. —_— IMPOSING PEACE JUBILEE - BANQUET. CHICAGO, Oct. 19.—For the third time since the commencement the jubilee festivities were shifted to the interior of the Auditorium, and the third and last scene to be enacted within the great hall was the most brilliant, beautiful ' and successful of them all. It was the great national peace jubilee banquet, tendered to the President of the Ur'ted States and dis- tinguished guests by the citizens of Chicago. No similar event ever held within the auditorium surpassed iA brilliancy and simple elegance the ban- quet of to-night. Twelve hundred guests, among them men grominent in all branches of busi- ness, gcience, art and war, were stand- ing by their chairs when a tap from the gavel of Franklin McVeagh, the presiding officer, announced the ap- proach’of President McKinley. The or- chestra struck, “Haill to the Chief,” and as the strains of the old welcom- ing march were heard the President. attended by the jubilee reception com- mittee, came down the center aisle, bowing right and left in acknowledg- ment of rthe applause his presence evoked, At 10 o'clock, the preliminary portion of the banquet having been disposed of, & rap from the gavel of Chairman Mc- Veagh claimed the attention of the guests, and introduced President Mc- Kinley, announcing that he would re- ply to the toast, “Our Country.” It was several minutes before the cheering had subsided sufficiently to al- low the President to be heard. and when he was afforded an opportunity he made an address, his utterances be- ing greeted with prolonged applause. Other toasts were onded to by Clark Howell, ex-Vice-President Ste- venson, General Miles, General Shafter, Captain Sigsbee, President Angell of the ‘Michigan University, Secretary Lopened negotiations with | friendliest spirit toward Gage, Admiral Brown and President Nt::hmb of the University of Minne- 80! l ENGLAND AND FRANCE O ThE VERGE OF WAR a May Cause a Conflict. WARSHIPS ARE MADE READY CANNOT RECEDE. ) Newspapers at London and Paris Concede That the Two Countries Are Likely to Engage in Hostilities. Special Dispatch to The Call. PARIS, Oct. 19.—In spite of semi- official denials, the Echo de Paris as- serts to-day that the embarkation of war materfal and supplies continues at Toulon, adding that extraordinary ac- tivity reigns at the arsenal there. Four ironclads and three cruisers are em- barking ammunition and war material. Two transports are almost ready for sea. All French naval officers on leave of absence have been recalled. The naval authorities at Toulon are very reticent. The Matin says Premier Brisson, through ill health, wishes to retire from the Cabinet. His successor may be M. Bourgeoise, now Minister of Education. A dispatch to the Petit Parisienne from Toulon confirms the reports of the Echo de Paris and says the great- est activity prevails in the navy-yard, where work is proceeding with fever- ish speed day and night. LONDON, Oct. 19.—Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Chancellor of the Exchequer, speaking at North Shields this evening, announced that the Government had the French with a view of securing to the subjects of the various powers the right of “de- veloping the respective spheres In which each country is interested. Regarding the Fashoda question, he said he wished cordially to acknowl- edge the desire evidenced in the speeches of _.ord Rosebery and Her- bert Asquith to help the Government in the matter. “It is impossible,” he said, “for France to maintain that she had rights at Fashoda. She asked for time to re- ceive Major Marchand’s report, but un- til the contrary is proved I decline to believe that France will refuse to with- draw. If she refused, the matter would assume an aspect as grave as is possi- ble between two great nations. “The Government is animated by the France, and does not wish to inflict humiliation. What we desire is fair treatment. Our work in Egypt is not completed. Africa is big enough for us both—for France in the west and ourselves in the east. Surely we ought to be able to agree to respect one another's rights and claims. “1 hope, trust and believe the ques- tion is capable of a friendly solution, but this country has put her foot down. If unhappily another view should be taken by France, the Oueén’'s Minis- ters know what their duty demands. It would be a great calamity if, after peace for upward of eighty years, our friendly relations should be disturbed and we should be launched into a great war, but there are greater evils than war, and we shall not shrink from any- thing that is coming; knowing that we are supported by & -united people.” The speech of Sir Michael Hiecks Beach at North Shields last evening has deeply impressed England and the utmost concern is felt as to how France will receive it. The idea has been preva- lent that the French have not realized how seriously England felt on the Fashoda question, which has been coupled -with a desire that France would not force England to an armed support of Lord Salisbury’s stand. Mest of the morning papers elaborate some of the excited declarations of the bel- ligerent preparations of France. The Paris correspondent of the Daily Mail says: “In Toulon and Brest eyery nerve is strained to get ready for war, which may break out on short notice. The Paris press is growing more and more determined to back up extreme measures, even a resort to arms. The French have been excessively piqued by the threatening tone of the English papers, which is a more likely casus belli than the mere question of Fash- oda. ‘Consequently the outlook here is grave. There are reports of troops hur- rying from Paris to Brest and Toulon, The artillery ‘in the. batteries and at the various ports have been constantly instructed for any emergency and the cannon at the forts and batteries are al] ready for action at any moment. Tq-day there was a prolonged war council at Brest of the chiefs of the various seryices and M. Lockroy is hastily returning to Toulon on acccunt of the gravity of the situation.” 84, Red Spider 92 an SR WALTER STILL ON EDGE Cleverly Defeats Maby in a Handicap. = MUDDY GOING - IN THE EAST MONTGOMERY FINISHES AHEAD OF ABUSE AT HARLEM.

Several exhort the Government to answer the prepara- tions of France by mobilization of the British fleet. Some of the more con- servative organs, notably the Times, completely ignore the French move- ments and decline to perceive any war cloud. \ The Daily Chronicle remarks: Sir Michael Hicks Beach has been at it again.

SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 19.—The exodus of miners and gold from Alaska by way of the lower Yukon river practically closed to-day with the arrival of the steamer Roanoke from St. Michael. The Roanoke left St. Michael on October 8. At that time there were only three steamers in the harbor, the Portland, Protection and Garonne, which were to sail in a day or so for San Francisco, Seattle and Victéria rcupecuvele'. They ]}nd only a few passengers. All of the ‘ukon river steamers had gone into win- ter quarters. The Roanoke brought down about 350 asengers and gold dust estimated at 1,500,000. About a milion dollars was the property of three corporations, the North American Transportation and Trading Company, the Canadian Bank of Com- merce and the Bank of British North America. The gold was contained in twenty boxes. The total amount in possession of indi- viduals is estimated at 3$500,000. F.. Belch- er is_credited with $100,000; A. W. Ji son, $10,000; K.

The Roanoke’s pas- sengers for the most part left Dawson as early as September 14 and have no late advices. The trip down was un- eventful.

One of the most out- sgoken witnesses of the day was Dr. Frye of the Third Division hospital. He con- demned some of the methods in vogue in the hospitals, and said that in many cases the contract physicians and mem- bers of the hospital corps were incompe- tent. Dr. Frye said that in all the hospitals with which he had been connected there had Been a deficiency of bed linen. Dr. Frye expressed the opinion that in several instances convalescents had been sent away from the hospital before they sufficiently ~advanced to permit them to go in Safety. He had no per- sonal knowledge of any individual cases of this kind, but was satisfied that such cases had occurred. He spoke In very uncomplimentary terms of the men engaged in the hos- pital corps, saying they had been picked up at random over the country and were “‘generally a lc-bbY( looking lot,” not fit to adorn any walk of life. e also spoke deprecatingly of the contract sur- ng to trust his family or friends to 50 per_cent of them. “Many of them,” he said, “are recent fndunte! from medical institutions, and do_not consider the average medical aduate capable of taking charge of rom twenty-five to fifty typhold fever S— ADVERTISEMEN1S. e A A A e e DAY OF SURPRISES! ., We must drive a fast team from now “until the end of the race for 1898.
