INAUOUHAL RECEPTION.

CUIOAOO, Oot. 30.—Chicago, •with the nations of the world as its guests, began the dedication ceremonies of the World's Columbian exposition Wednesday evening with the inaugural reception and ball at the Auditorium. It may safely be remarked that it was the most colossal ^ucial affair in tho history of Chicago. This has been said before. It m«j be years before it can be truly spoken again.

In the first place there was all the pomp and glory that can come from magnificent dimensions, glaring light, sensuous eolora, sweet music and prinoely feaatlngs. Then there were 8,500' people, each «f whom lays some claim to distinction. Above all, the people were thore—that Is, the people who would have made tho night memorable if there had been no festoons and flags and reoeptlon committees. An ex-president, the viae president, the cabinet, the supreme judges, tho diplomatic corps, the constellation of fovernora, an army of stafl officers, a lost of exposition builders, the brightest of women from all parts' of the country and a train of unclassified dignitaries.

Ainld the Glitter of Hwords.

There was danolng, during which swordH and medalB of the staff and embassy rather overshadowed the plain black. In the early morning all the visitors were Bent safely away in tight carriages to sleep and dream of another busy day. So the inaugural reception was a success, a demonstration of lavish hospitality and an aweinspiring spectacle.

Assombllag of th. liueili.

A row of policemen guarded the blue oanopy that fluttered against the stone walls. At 8:30 they began to allow some people to pass under thlp aanopy and into the big entranoe on Congress street. The first carriages wheelod along in loose order. At that time the busy workmen on the inside of the building had just finished the decorations. When the doors were thrown open at 0 several hundred people were waiting to get in, and from that time to 11 o'olock the orush was incessant, although the guestb entered both from Michigan avenue and Congress street.

The assemblage was essentially a private affair. So' far as the ofBalal progamme of dedication week was ooneerned it had no recognition beyond the formal indorsement of the committee on ceremonies of the world's Columbian exposition, an Indorsement that carried with it neither financial liability nor responsibility. A thousand or more of the leading citizens of Chicago were the hosts 2,000 more of distinguished women and men of the civilized nations of the earth the guests.

A Gorgeous Scone.

It was a scene of almost Indescribable brilliancy that presented itself to the vision of the vice president of the United States when, at half past 0 o'clock to the moment, leaning upon tho arm of President H. N. Higinbotham, of tbe world's fair directory, he appeared upon the floor of the ballroom. The brilliant hues of the bunting seemed to struggle for recognition with the rays of the electric lights. Tho steel curtain of the stage had been raised and in its place half fluttered the Spanish royal banner. To the right and left, above and below, were banners upon which were embroidered the initials of Queen Isabella and her consort, the rulers of Spain in the time of tho great discoverer. In the space between the boxes and the proscenium arch loomed up a massive United States shield. It was surmounted by a stand of colors, and supported on the right and left by the flags of all the American republics. To tho south on the corresponding panel was the shield of Spain, surrounded by the flags of ajl the nations of the old world, a bouquet of national emblems In which the colof Spain and Italy were conspicuous. To the right and left, before and behind, above and below, fluttering In the air from the balconies and hiding from view the primitive nakedness of the marble pillars, were the stars and stripes in profusion almost beyond the arithmetician's art of calculation or guesswork. Queen Flora also played no insignificant part in the decoration. There were festoons of wildsmilax running in front of all the boxes and run' ning thence along tho balcony and the gallery proper. Here and there the green of nature was relieved with artificial rosettes of red and yellow. Towering banks of palms and ferns supported the panels to the right and left ot the proscenium, while a mass of green foliage formed a centerpiece for the stage, and a rising bank of ferns and tropical plants hid from view the military band directed by Sousa, of

Marine band renown, that furnished tho music for the grand march. Charmed by 8ousa*s Hand.

About the time tho early comcrs began to sprinkle through the parquet tiers Sousa's band in the balcony set the house to ringing with Meyerbeer's jubilant "Coronation" and there was a brisk hurrying from the foyer. Tho band played almost constantly until tho arrival of the swarthy Mexicans.

The Vice President Arrives.

Sousa's band was blaring forth stirring, swinging air when the patron esses descended from their boxes on the west sido of the hall and prepared to receive the distinguished guests. Columbian guards in full-dress uniform and gold-spiked helmets guarded the entrances and saluted as the vanguard of citizens appeared at precisely

Distinguished Foreigners.

After them came a brilliant array ol ^iplomates representing the great nations of the earth come to join in tho dedication of the great international exposition. Gorgeous uniform glittering with joweled decorations added splendor to the scene as the envoys passed in review. Baron Favu and Marquis Iniperiali di Franeavilla were there for Italy, tho native country of the discoverer whose achievement the occasion commemorated. Baron de Struve and M. Botkine appeared for the czar of Russia, The land of the Turk sent Mavroyeni Hey and Mgrditch Effendl Voughian.

Nakamura and the imperial commissioner™. Spain, the sponsor of Coljimbus' voyage, had an imposing delegation in Don Dupuy de Lome,

Don Luiledo, Don de Saavrada and Don Beoane. Senor de Mendonca and Senor Murlo de M. Ferrelra represented Brazil, and Mexico had delegated Don Romero and Senhor Plaza as her envoys. Hon. Michael Herbert and Arthur Robert Peol bore the commission of Great Britain. Germany was there with Baron Clements von Kettler, Lieut. Albrecht lleese and Kurt von Mutzenbeshcr as her dele gates.

Closing the march of notables come President Palmer, the Columbian commissioner, Secretary Dickinson and other exposition officials.

The Reception.

Tho guests passed over the floor in processions, being first Introduced to the managers, then to the committee of arrangements, next to the patronesses, and finally after running this gauntlet, to tho vice president and distinguished guests. At the conclusion of the reception, which continued until nearly II o'clock, the vice president was escorted to the loge on the immediate right of the stage, and the remainder of the distinguished guestE followed in this order:

Some of the' Notable Americans

The members of President Harrison's cabinet, headed by Secretary Foster and Postmaster General Wanamaker, Speaker Charles F. Crisp and party, Chief Justice Melville E. Fuller and party, the associate Justices of the supreme court. Boxes 11 to were, occupied by Govs. Reynolds, of Delaware: Pattison, of Pennsylvania Abbett, of New Jersey Bulkeley, of Connecticut Russell, of Massachusetts, and Brown, of Maryland. The reception committee held tho fort in box N, and had as neighbors Govs. Flower, of New York: Holt, of North Carolina, and Hrown, o! Rhode Island. Ex-President IInye was assigned to box S.

There were sumo dazzling toilets in the adjoining box which had been allotted to the board of lady manngenand in whioh Mrs. Potter Palmer, president of the board, was at times conspicuous. The visiting members of the diplomatic corps, tho local director!: and the members of the national commission were near-by neighbors of the ladles, and beyond these twenty-five consecutively numbered boxes were occupied by the executives of state* previously unprovided for, commencing with Gov- Page of Vermont, and concluding with "Gov. Markham of California. All of the chief executives were accompanied either by their staffs or members of their respective families. Conspicuous In the tier of boxes were Govs. McKinley, of Ohio: Boles, of Iowa Peek, of Wisconsin and Bcyd, of Nebraska.

The Ball.

After tho reception considerable time was oocupled by tho managers in arranging the floor for the opening quadrille, and it was after 11 o'clock when the strains of the cornet, violin and harp summoned the devotees of the terpsichorean art to the center of the floor to inaugurate a tripping of the light fantastic toe. The dancers were greatly inconvenienced by the immense audience, but all adapted themselves to the rush and enioyed themselves until nearly daylight.

At Royal Banquet.

Tho short menu in the big supper rooms was served rapidly. About 1,600 people went under the waving canopy to the Studebaker building, where Kinsley waiters were in service. Wine was served without order, twenty tubs of iced bottles being in reserve. In the two rooms at the Auditorium hotel the service was also good and nearly 700 people were accommodated at a sitting. Admission was by ticket. In each supper room a mandolin orchestra was stationed.

CuAWFOHusvn.i.E. Ind., Oct. JO. —The employes of George Brltton, 2 miles west of Crawfordsville, while at work on a gravel-pit discovered an old Indian cemetery, and have already taken out nearly thirty skeletons in an excellent state of pi eservation. owing to their being buried in gravel.

TROOPS tO SUPPRESS RIOTS?

Ucn. Hcliofleld lu Ills Iteport ltelers to Recent Labor Troubles.

WABHINQTON, Oct 20.—Domestic violence in some of the states has rendered neoessary the use of the militar.y in support of the civil authorities, says Gen. SchofiCld in his report In the case of the young state of Idaho, the militia organization had not yet reached the strength necessary to cope with a very formidable insurrection, which had involved much destruction of life and property in the Cocur d' Alene mining region. The report shows that in Wyoming It has also been necessary to employ troops to prevent conflict between armed parties of citizons. Other special services of less importance were rendered by the troops in various parts of the country involving, especially on the Mexican border, much labor, exposuro aad hardship.

In regard to small arms and field ar-

tlllery, the report states that when the

troops are furnished with the inaga-

tine small arms selected by a board they will be as well equipped as any trohps In the world. Gen. Schofield earnestly reoommended that no time be lost In providing a full supply of these arms for the regular troops and the organized militia of the several states and also a considerable reserve supply for issue to volunteers whenever tho latter may be called Into service. He also urges that the necessary appropriation be made for a full supply of tho most approved breech-loading rifled field guns for the light batteries of both the regular and volunteer.troops,
