Those who went had to wait longer than they expected for the president was late in coming. He had gone to the Chicago university to lie made a doctor of laws and that took more time than the committee counted for it, but the presiden finally came in a mud-splashed carriage that was hauled up at the back door at 4:10 o'clock. The reception committee had ben standin:; in two long lines for a half hour when he came.

Hit Ira v Ort 20 ßefor :l mishtV i h ,vj!j,.h m t baU.oa. ies of the Auditorium, which choked the aisles and crowded every foot of standing room in the temporary banquc hall, President McKinley last ... ' night gave some hint of what his poi- j , . b ..... icy is upon territorial expansion. No public utterance of the president previous to that at Wednesday Bight's banquet was fraught with so much meaning to the country. None gave so clear a vision of the views ol" the executive on the question ol" expansion which has become pan mount In the discussions of the nation. "We cannot if wo would ar.d we would nor if we could escape the obli- i gat ions of victory," said President McKinley. That was the cue for the appluise for the banqueters and the thousand or more spec.tat. irs in the galleries construed hU words to suit their own desi.res. "Duty makes destiny," said the president a f.nv moments later, and again the applause was vociferous. The president spoke in part as folfows: "With m feeling of exultation, but with profb md thankfulness, we contemplate the events of the past five months. They have been too serionj to admit of boasting or vainglorification. They have been so full of responsibilities, immediate and prospecMCl.T.

tive, as to admonish the most conservative action. "The war ha? put upon the nation grave responsibilities. Their extent was not anticipated and could not have been well foreseen. Ve cannot escape the obligations of victory. We cannot

j avoid the serious questions which have been brought home to us by the achievements of our arms on land and sea. "We are bound in conscience to keep and perform the covenants which the I war has sacredly sealed with mankind. Accepting war for humanity's pake, we must arcept all obligations imposed upon us. ' The war with Spain was undertaken not that the United States should Increase its territory, but that oppression ;u our very doors should be Stopped. This noble sentiment must continue to animate us. and we must give to the world the full demonstration of the sincerity of our purpose. "iJiiry determines destiny. Destiny which results from duty performed may bring anxiety and perils, but never failure and dishonor. It is not within the power of man to foretell :he future and to solve unerringly its mighty problems. Almighty God has His plan 8 and methods for human ! prosrivss. and not mfrenuer.tlv they are shrouded for the time beir.g in impenetrable mystery. Looking backward we can see how the hand of destiny bnilded for us and assigned us tasks whose full meaning was not apprehended oven by men of their times. the wisest states"Our colonial ancestors did not enter Upon their war originally for independehce. Abraham Lincoln did not start out to free, tiie slaves, hut to save the union. The war with Spain was not of oar seeking, and some of its consequences may not be to our liking. Cur vision is often defective. Shortsightedness is a common malady, but the closer We gpt to things or they get to us the clearer our view and the less obscure our duty, "The progress of a nation can alone prevent degeneration. There must be new life and purpose or there will he weakness and decay. There must be livfi'.ii'oTiintr if tlimicrlif nc wall rQ "W WC. V V. U I II w Lll V'IKllI, U'J M.II V.W , ... . broadening of trade. "Territorial expansion Is not alone and always necessary to national advancement. There must be a constant movement toward a higher and nobler civilisation, a civilisation that shall make Its conquests without lesort to war and achieve its greatest victories pursuing the arts of peace. "In our present situation duty and duty alone - should proscribe the bonndary of our responsibilities and the scope of our undertakings. "The final determination of our purposes awaits the action of the eminent men who are charge d by the executive with the making of the treaty of peace, and that of the senau of tho United States, which, by our consti- ' tut ion, must ratify and confirm it. We all hope and pray that the confirmation of peace will be as just ar.d humane a the conduct and consummation of the war. "When the work of the treaty-makers Is done the work of the lawmakers will begin. The one will settle tho extent of our responsibilities; the other must provide the legislation to meet them. "Th army and navy have nobly and heroically performed th Ir part. May tiod give the executive and congress wisdom to perform theirs.' THE BIG PARADE. Chicago, Oct. 20. Victors In battles by sou and land from ja. ky and hiIi private to major general and admiral, and an army of the civic host, all '"'1 by President McKinley, commander-ta-chlef of the army and navy of the United States, passed in review before the eyes ol Chicago and the middle weit veaterdaj, .Nearly every city, town and hamlet within 500 miles of Chicago, and many at greater distances, tarnished a Quota that swelled the throng that came together in one accord to do hi age to the victors of the Spanish-American war. Ten thousand marched or rude in the parade. How many people looked on nobody knows. Estimates of the counties:; number of onlookers made by many of the 1.800 policemen in charge of the. Multitude ran from r,00,ooo to l.OM.asa. The railroads have brought 200,000 visitors to Chicago. Yesterday the mrface lines carried 1,1S4.000 passengers. Perhaps 000,000 onlookers is near th. correct figure. If wives vere as nire to their husbands a ; female clerks are to their customers but few matrimonial failure! would be recorded.

A GREAT LOCOMOTIVE Doctor Raul) Claims to Have Effected Wonderful Economics and to Have Increased Their Efficiency.

The run by rail between New Yoi-k and Washington Is soon to be reduced to thioe hours. This revolution, in railway travel is to be brought about by the Baltimore and Ohio railway company by means of a new locomotive, invented by Dr. D. C. Raub. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad Is to be quipped with the engines as rapidly ; they can be built A speed of eighty-two miles an hour h,i. been atlined, the run between Port Jems d Jersey City on the Erie railroad. 1 i miles, being run in an hour and 12 minutes, including seven minutes for stops. Doctor Raub gives the folowing interesting account of the evolution of the new locomotive, and a description of it: "Looking for symmetry of construction and stability of movement as the hist requisites of a perfect engine, and in order to determine which engines possesses these properties in the highest degree. I hung a series of them from a large ;ane. I found that all were out of balB nee because of the motive power being all placed at one end. I found that mc1i engine tested was carry Ina about fifteen tons of dead weight, which liiscd a terrible 'pounding.' that eked both engine and the roadbed. easatting that ail this lost power ight be saved by putting the motor machinery la the center of gravity, after a lot of experimenting I designed and ballt an engine whose actual erfermances have confirmed my theies. 1 have such faith in my idea .t 1 hallt the first locomotive at mv vn expense In the Qrant locomotive works, Peterson, N. .1.

Bounding Billow quotes the remark of an American sailor, who. on reading the article, said: " The Lord help him he'll be praying for another fortyday flood when Merritt and nis troops arrive." These copies of Bounding Billow were sent by Burl Armstrong, son of LeRoy Armstrong or this city, who left American shores on the McCalioch when that vessel startl d around tinworld, and was "side tracked" ai Manila by the breaking oat of hostilities. The Billow has political views also. It says, our candidates: For president in 1900 Wm. Mc Kinley. V. J. Bryan, take your choice.

The L:itt Story About Wrtll. Here ii charming story about Verdi, just hot from Italy. A farmer, living in the depths of the country, was very desirous to hear one of the illustrious composer's operas. So, better late than never, he took his ticket, traveled up to Milan, and. securing a good seat, heard '"Aula." He was very much disappointed, and wrote to Verdi to say BO, adding that h did not like the music at all. and that under these circumstances he hoped that Verdi would see the reasonableness of at once returning him his money. There was bis railway fare, his ticket of admission, and his supper at Milan, for which he inclosed the hill. The grand old maestro entered fully into the humor of the situation. He wrote back a polite letter regretting that his music had failed to please, inclosing the railway fare and the price of admission. But he added that, as the farmer would have had to provide himself with supper at home, be could not admit the justice of that part of his claim. d he absolutely declined to pay for i I supper at Milan. Ru.-tkln an:! the Beggar. When Raskin was at Rome there was a beggar on the steps of the Pincio who begged of him every day as he passed, and who alwayai received something. On one occasion the grateful beggar suddenly caught the outstretched hand and kissed it. Mr. Rusk in stopped short, drew his hand hastily away, and then, with a sadden impulse, bending forward, kissed the beggar's cheek. The next day the man came to Mr. Raskin's lodging to lind htm. bringing a gift, which he offered with tears in his eyes. It was a relic, he said; a shred of brown cioth, which had once formed part of the robe of St. Francis. nor Oscillates. By a unique arrangement of the boiler Augs the waste products of combustion are used as fuel. Two tubular loilers are provided with return flues which by radiation superheat the steam within the boiler. Tiie smokestack is really only a draught and an outlet for exhaHst steam, for it never emits smoke or sparks. The engineer stands in the middle of the engine." The Haub engine was tested on the Erie railroad for several months. In his report upon it General Superintendent J. H. Barrett says, in part: "An Erie engine of 14.400 pounds of tractive force failed to move a train of 240 tons of weight, when the Raub engine of but 7.000 pounds of tractive force went away with it without any difficulty. The Raun engine raised 150 pounds otf steam within fifty-six minutes and with but 1.500 pounds of bituminous eoal, while each of several Erie engines required two and a half hours of time and three tons of coal to raise 125 pounds of steam. The Raub engine made occasionally eighty-two 3T miles per hour with ten laden gondolas. 300 tons, and neither pounded nor oscillated unduly nor discharged any live sparks, cinders, sshes, gas or smoke." Mi Barrett conceded to the Rain engine the following gains: "Tuel. 50 per cent: freight power. 40 per eeut; of wear and tear. 60 per cent." The Raub locomotive compares, it is claimed, as follows with the ordinary type: Ordaiary Weight, 7". to so ton: coal consumption, 166 pounds per mile' Steam maintained. 125 pounds; speed' per hour, 60 to 10 miles; "(t. $10.000 to $12.000: market price. $11.000 to $18,000.
