WATTEHSOX WILL TAI.K.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.—llcury Watterson, editor of tlie Louisville Courier-Jour-nal, will be tho orator of the day on the occasion of the dedicatory ceremonies October 21. Mr. Watterson will take the place of Congressman W. C. I*. Hreckinridge, who resigned the position. Mr. Watterson's acceptance filled all world's fair officials with delight, for he is a general favorite. He is also an excellent speaker, and, with the subject to inspire him, even though the timo for preparation be short, will doubtless deliver an oration which will in every respect befit the da.y,

Will Seat a Mjj Army.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.—An army of men is at work getting the Manufactures building ready for the dedication. The 400 carpenters who began at the first of the week to build the speakers' rostrum and the orchestra stand finished their work, after driving nails into something like a million feet of lumber. The huge stand for the orchestra is in the south end of the central hall of the building. The stage for the speakers and guests is in the center of the east side. It will take two days to sweep out, for there arc thirty acres of floor to be dusted over. When the fifty or more men went to sweeping Wednesday a dozen bundles of brooms were brought in for their use. In the galleries will be close rows of benches, while the chairs arc in the reserved-seat section immediately fronting the speakers' stand. This section will hold 15,000 people. In all there are 47,000 chairs in the building. The 4,500 caneseated chairs in the main stand will be occupied by guests holding special invitations. Then there are 100 upholstered seats for dignitaries of the cabinet and supreme bench and governors of the states.

Will Occupy the flenches.

The benches, each 12 feet long, are already made. These are expected to seat about 10,000 people. Preparations are now complete for seating 57,000 people outside of the orchestra and chorus stand. These seats occupy hardly one-third of tho total space, and there will be standing room for 100,000. Those who stund will not know what is going on at the rostrum unless they have field glasses.

Tho hall will be lighted by 242 are lights of 2,000 candle-power each. Above tho speakers' stand and the re-served-seat section will be twelve clusters of five lights each. Above the gallery are seventy-two arc lights, one in the center of each arch between the big roof trusses under the gallery are ninety arc lights and one at each of the four entrances to the building. There are also sixteen lights in the nave where the lunch will be served. This light is furnished from the special power plant installed for the occasion in Machinery hall. flow Luncheon Will lie Hervecl. "Forty minutes for lunch," is the word that will be passed along the line as distinguished guests of the World's Columbian exposition alight from their carriages at the entrance of the Manufactures building. Tho lunch will consist of coffee, sandwiches and salad. The lunch will be on the buffet plan, every man for himself, except in the serving of coffee, which will be done by a small army of waiters. These distinguished guests number about 2,500 persons. They will be fed in the gallery on the east side of the building, at the rear of the building, at the rear of the guests' stand, which is reached by a wide, temporary bridge, is 1.700 feet long and 43 feet wide. The gallery is also reachcd by stairways from the ground. Lho tables will be arranged 850 feet each way from the center, and these tables, double width, will reach the entire length, with the exception of two small coffee-preparing rooms on each side 400 feet from the center. Between these *mall kitchens is a space containing 32,000 square feet, oroutside of the space occupied by the tables, 28,000 square feet. In this space the 2,500 distinguished guests will stand while eating, and mathematical calculation gives each person S square feet of elbow room. liesides these there are 6,000 choristers who will be provided with lunch by tho world's fair people, and tables will be arranged for them at either end of the main lablos. This vast body of singers will lunch and take seats in the orchestra stand before any of the guests arrive. One-fiftli of the choristers are children, and eaoh will be provided with a glass of milk, a sandwich aud a banana. All the sandwiches and salads will be prepared the night before and tho morning of the ceremouies, and 1.000 peoplo will be employed in such preparation and serving the lunch.

Money for tho Mllltl»

World's fair directors at a meeting Friday afternoon appropriated S10.000 to defray the expenses of the Illinois national guard in attending the dedicatory oeromonies next week. There was great joy among the officer* of the guard when informed of this action, ond, as a result, the soldier boys of the atatc will be in the parade October 21.

Gen. Miles says the United States army will have 2,400 inon here—2,100 men from the regular army and 300 marines. Ohio will have 2,000 troops. Indiana^ 1,000 Illinois, with the present arrangement carried out, 3,000 Iowa, 1,200 Missouri, 600 Michigan, S00 Wisconsin, 1.200, and Minnesota, 1,000—nine organizations in all.

Every arrangement possible is being male to mako the troops comfortable while here. They will be practically bivoucked in the large buildings, and will be furnished good shelter aud food,

better than troops usually have in camp. The parades will be imposing unless bad weather prevents the street display. Owing to the long distance tho infantry troops will not march the whole 9 miles. The procession on Dedication day, however, will be escorted to the grounds. The cavalry and artillery and the militia will join the proccssion after it is on the road. "The reports to date indicate that 75,000 people will be in line,'- said Gen. Miles. "I believe it would be a most conservative estimate to say that there will be 60,000." All the assistant marshals for the civic parade are to meet at the world's fair headquurters Saturday afternoon.

The Big Kail.

Tickets to the dedication ball next Wednesday evening cannot be had for love or money. In fact, they caunot be had to-day, for the gentlemen in charge have decided that no more invitations will be issued. At the meeting of the committee Wednesday the list of guests bidden to the great reception was gone over carefully. It was discovered that more than 8,000 acceptances had already been received. "That's all we want," said George M. Pullman. "It's our duty to make those present as comfortable as possible. If we invite any more the Auditorium will becrowded." The committee promptly decided to send out no more tickets.

Flag Formed or School Children. One of the unique and interesting features of the civic parade will be the part taken by the children of tho public schools. On each side of the government building will be 1.000 children ranging from 12 to 15 years of age, arranged and drebsed to represent the American flag. In the procession there will be a regiment of 1.000 l»oys from the high schools. These boys arc now being drilled by the physical culture teachers, and the day of the parade will be under the command of Prof. Henry Scudder, the superintendent of physical culture in the Chicago schools.

FATAL RAILROAD WRECK.

Five Men Killed by a Collision of Freight Trains Near Smw Loudon, Conn. UEW LONDON, Conn., Oct. 15.—The ISoston express freight which left the city Friday morning at 5:40 o'clock collided with the lirattleboro freight, bound south, about 1,000 feet south of the flag station at Harrison's Landing, on the New London & Northern railroad. The engines came together head and head. The first car of the south-bound train contained four raoe horses bound for the races at Croton. Four of the five men in charge of the horses were killed outright and the other was so fearfully injured that he died a few minutes after reaching this city. None of the train hands suffered injury, other than that sustained in jumping from the trains. The train dispatcher of the road at Norwich is declared to be the person at fault and he has been placed under arrest.

DEVASTATION IN ALBERTA.

I'ralrlu .Fire. Sweep Over Thousand, of Acre.—Great WINNIPEG, Oct. 15.—The western half of Alberta, the ranching district of the northwest, has been devastated by prairia fires. Thousands of tons of hay and many buildings have been burned and It is feared that many cattle have perished. Ranchmen on the plains were compelled in numbers of instances to mount their horses and ride for their lives, such was the rapidity and fierceness with which the flames were swept over the country by the high winds. Unless ranchers can find new ranges they will scarcely be able to tide stock over the winter and the consequent loss will be enormous.

All the Shamok'ln Victims Uncovered. POTTSVILLE, Pa., Oct. 15.—The number of men killed and injured by the explosion of gas at the Philadelphia and Heading Company's Sterling Itun colliery at Bhutnokin is now known to be eleven.

LONDON, Oct. 16. —Tho fact that the prince of Wales absented himself from the funeral of Lord Tennyson on Wednesday, in order that lie might attend the Newmarket races Is provoking considerable comment.

rr.AINK MAKES A 81'KKCR.

WHM PLAINS, X. Y.( Oct. 15. —James 0. Maine on Friday ni^ht raised his voice in support of republicnn principles, a.s ho has done in every campaign for thirty years. He spoke to the neighbors of his host, Whitelaiv Rcid, and through .them to the whole country. What he had to say was brief, but it was enough to show that Jiis devotion to the purt3f with whose history his own curcer is interwoven is undiminished. It is probably the last occasion on which the groat leader will address the public on political issues.

Cheered the Plumed Knight. A big crowd from the villages of Westchester county went to Ophir farm and heard the man from Maine. Delegates were present from Port Chester, Rye, White Plains, Mammaroncck. Rye Neck and other towns along the southern line. Upon arriving at Ophir farm t*ie bands which accompanied the party played several selections, and Mr. Reid appeared upon the veranda. He was followed by the distinguished party which had gathered to meet the ex-secretary. After a few words of introduction, Mr. Reid presented Mr. Maine. As the popular son of Maine stepped forward he was greeted with round after round of cheers. When sufficient silence could be restored to liermit him to be heard Mr. Rlaine spoke as follows "Fellow Citizens of New York: I should be churlUh Indeed if I did nol inula* response to your call after you have come aeveral miles to tbls beautiful hoinr of Mr. Itoid on thin pleasant October evening. At tho same time 1 urn not making speeelion In the canvas* for reasons which are well known to my friends aud which have no connection whatever with politics. "Generally, administrations in presidential elections are challenged on accouut of the condition of tho business of the comnry. aucl 1 submit that the republican admiuistrn* tion of President Harrison can triumphantly anaure such a test. (Applause. 1 I doubt If, since the government of the United States was Instituted, anybody at any time has seen what wo call good times so general, taking In so many interests and spreading prosperity throughout tho whole domain of trade. 1 might appeal to New York If the city has ever passed a season more satisfactory in linanclal results than for the past two years, in which the general effect of the capital and labor has been more prosperous. [Applause.]

Mstiiul'Hcturet and Commerce. "The oppoucntsof the republican partly always represent New York as a commercial city and not a manufacturing one, and yet the product of the manufactures of this city alone Is 1700.000.000. Anything that would cripple that great interest would cripplc the metropolis seriously and to a very hurtful extent. "More men in New York gel their living from pursuits protected by the tariff than from any other iurce. I know that New York Is the center of our commerce—the groat entrepot of triui-—i)ut all the men engaged in commercial affairs in aud about New York are smaller In numbers than the men engaged fn manufactures. Nor If you go west, where the democrats this year are making considerable effort aud doing a vast amount of boasting [laughter], will you tlud it different. "Take Ohio, take Michigan, take Indiana, take Illinois, and the products of manufactories aro greater In pecuniary amounts than the products of agriculture in your agricultural states, so that 1 think, when It happens to democratic orators who are on tho wing trying to arouse the hostility of the#e states tgalast the

protective tariff, they will encounter a seulimrnt of which they have not dreamed Western Farm Mortgages. "We learn from the democratic party that these western stales are In a desperate condition. The amount of their farm mortgages rolls up Into the millions. You would suppose li fabulous that the amount of the money they embrace could ever have been so Invested. This is not

It Is not so among the farmers of Pennsylvania It is no so among the farmers of any state near by whose condition can be easily learned, but by a singular fatality it is ihe western stMcs that have got all the farm mortgages burdening them aud taking the life out of the people"I do not liko to say that gentlemen have voluntarily misrepresented the facts, but before accepting them as such you will do well, as wisely, to demand tho proofs. The tariff, so democratic papers say, i* the orgin of a plutocratic government when wealih shall rule and poor men shall uot gel their right*. I shall veuture to challenge all such statements. A careful examination of tho list of wealUiy men iu tho country, published, has demonstrated the fact to be quite the reverse to such an extern, indeed, thai In the city of New York, taking the first 150 fortunes, not three, not two. not mor« than one would bo considered as derived froin manufacturing in* vestments.

As to the Irish Vote.

"I have a word to say about the Irish vote. I see it is stated thai the democrats boast of having the mass of them In their ranks this year. It is one of the mysteries bf our politics that question which Interests England so supremely, which is canvassed almost as much in London as It Is in New York, should have the. Irish vote on the side of Great Brituln. If tho Irish vote were solidly for protection they--could defy the machluationK of the democratic party for free trade, and throw their influence on the side of the home market of America against the side of forclgu make of England. "I know appeal has been frequently made to the Irish voters, but I make It with emphasis now, for I am unwilling to believe that with the light of the knowledge before tbetn they will deliberately be on the side of their former oppressors. I think 1 fthsll rely on iny good friend Kgun. the brilliant and successful minister to Chili—whom I feel especially glad to meet at Mr. Hold's table this evening. I think 1 must rely upon him to Intercede wloh his countrymen—his countrymen in two senses- not to aid the democratic party lu lowering thestandurd and the wages of American labor by their potential votes and potential numbers." (Long continued upplause.]

At every point xnado by Mr. Maiue the auditors cheered and wheu he finished the assemblage broke out in great applause.

Minister K.gitn Npvalcs of Thill. When quiet was restored MinisterEgan was also introduced. After a few words about the interest he took iu the campaign Mr. Egan referred to the* Chilian affair. He said he simply endeavored to carry out what he conceived to be tho principles of the repub-' lieu!) party, the principles of civilization. He continued: "Whatever triumphs have been won In this Chilian difficulty, and they are very far-reach-lug, because the uttitude assumed by my goverument has taught the lesson to all .South America that while the United Stales IK willing to putMie a |K)Ucy of aid and protection. if it becomes necessary, against" Kuropcau ititervent,n*v tho America cannot Insult the United StfttM flag. Wliutever triumphs have been won In tnat reMHct, I ay, are duo to the administration which I had the honor to represent."
