I should be mitre than sorry to do this after I have, through much tribulation, at last succeeded in standing lace to face with my St. Louis friends.

Indeed, to convince their kind and et snsiasti: citizens that it would not be pester dy easy for me within the limited time at my iisioaal to stop and pay them also a visit, [have mole up my mind, however, that the p op to of St. Louis are entirely to blame for dl tills jierplexity and disappointment. »ir if it had not been for them I shod* »ot have left home at alL I seed not detail you by any reference to the lmpn islasi created in my wind by what 1 have seer hie I suppose that any thing I might say by way of laudation of your city or your State, tv old fall very short of whatis your estimate on tliesesohjects.

The President then resumed bisseat and the occupants of the platform struggled out of the building through the dense throng, while the band struck up “Dixie,” followed by “Yankee Doodle;” After lefririiig the Exchange the President was driven feboht thS brinftij-hl streets of the city, oti gvery hand bdi ig received with the greatest enthusiasm, and finally landing at the Lindeil Ho wl to prepare tor the ordeal Of the afternoon reception, lira Cleveland derived at the hotel shortly afterward, her coming being signalised by the most enthusiastic applause by the multitude that had congregated. Mrs; . Cleveland was accompanied by Mr*; Francis and a quartet of the city’s m ist beautiful society ladies. , Dinner was- served to the President shortly after his arrival at the Lindeil, to which he did ample justice, his appetite having been stimulated by the exeroist ot the morning, and at three o’clock promptly the Preeident and his wife entered ih# grand parlor, and took position, flanked by the reception committee; The crowd outside had by t his time be-* come so dense that it required .jjke presence of a strong force of police to keep them in order, and for three long hoars the throng poshed, jostled, squeened, tramped and were tramped upon in tlieir endeavors to get one grasp Of tha hand of the Nation’s Chief Executive and catch one smile from the face of his beantifnl wife, and it is estimated that in that time at least twelve thousand persons succeeded gaining access to their presence, while twice as many more had to turn back disappoin ted. After supper and a brief rest, the party were again taken in hand by the committee, and at 8 p. m., started far a drive through the illuminated streets, which never in the history of St. Louis’ faU festivities showed to better advantage. The streets were fairly packed with dense masses of humanity, all intent upon seeing the city’s guests, whom they greeted as they paused with long and hearty cheers. About nine o’clock the cortege reached the Exposition, and the President and Mrs. Cleveland were escorted to a box specially prepared for them in the grand Mnsic Hall, where Gilmore’s band and an audience that packed j every available inch of space had been ! impatiently awaiting their arrival. Their [ entrance was the signal for an outburst of | shouts of welcome, while the band, acting { on a pre-arranged signal, struck up “Hail to the Chief," followed by “8he’j as ; Pretty as a Picture,” in compliment to the first lady, of the land. A surprise was also given by the un- : vailing of a pair of beantifnl pict ures , of the President and wife while the ‘’Star Spangled Banner” was being rendered. The presidential party shortly afterwards j left the hall and returned to the Lindeil, > where they reviewed the Hendricks' Club parade and listened to a serenade gotten up in their honor. Tue parade was a creditable one, in fact it was immense in its numerical propor tions, and by the time it had passed it goes without saying the President and his wife were fully prepared to retire and seek rest from the exertions and fatigues of as hard a round of pleasant dnty as any one could be^called upon to perform within the limits of one day. THE WORLD OF FASHION.

For these combination cloth costnmes the lighter color will be used for the lower skirt and ve^L with a dark basque and drapery. Plain aud plaid cloths will be seen together in gowns in the way so popular for summer ginghams, sateens, etc., with the basque of the plain, smooth-faced cloth, and the skirt; with its long drapery of large plaided softer twilled cloth. The draped and folded vests or waistcoats so much in favor at present will remain a feature of winter gowns. All bodices will bo elaborately trimmed in front*with the exception of the tailor made, and the latter will have narrow flat garniture, in the shape of smooth vests and slender re vers.

Chicago, Oct ®.—President Cleveland and jparty arrived in this city at 8:10 a, m. The iron from St. Louis was an exceptionally smooth one, not a pause being necessary, owing to the fact that passenger trains were side-tracked ten and freights fifteen minutes before the special train Was due. . The Ibrenty-third Street depot,at which the l*residtmi Slighted from the train, was totally devoid Of decorations, not a streamer of red white and blue or even a little flag fluttered in the breece. Tk* people began gathering »t the little depot about eight o’clock, and when the distinguished guests arrived there was a crowd in the vicinity. As the wheels of the President’s train Ceased rolling, the guns Of Light Battery P Fourth United Stales Artillery, thundered a military welcome of thirteen guns, and. .cheer after cheer went ap from the assembled thou

Mrs. Cleveland lty Colonel Lament. When President Cleveland appeared Upon the platform of the car, another cheer, almost deafening in its volume, blended with the booming of the cannon. The President was accompanied to the first carriage where fee Whs seated facing Mayor Roche and Governor Ogloabv. This carriage was drawn by four splendid horses with postillion*. The other member of the President’ll party and of the reception committee entered the other caiTiages and led by the company ol cavalry and, Chief of Police Kbersold and staff, all mounted, the party drove rap.dly to Michigan avenue. When the Presidential party readier Thirty-fifth street the warriage took its place in line, and after a short delay the procession started, The procession was large* it being estimated that there were nearly thirty thousand men in line. The Chief marshal. General Charles Fitzsinl mobs, with his aides, escorted by cavalry headod the line, and then followed th President’s oarriage. In the carriag wi th the President were Mayor Roche ant. Postmaster-General Vilas. The other members ’of the presidential party and the reception committee followed in carriages, and succeeding them were four companies of the Twenty-third Infantry, U. 8. A.; First and Second Regiment, Illinois National Guards: Troop L First Cavalry, U. 8. A.; Milwaukee Light Horse Squadron; Cleveland City Troops; Light Battery F, Fourth Artillery, U. 8. A.; Chicago Laueem, and sailors and marines from the United States steamer Michigan.

Ancient Order United Workmen, gioeLn of Gaiseppe Garibaldi, Thirteenth Ward Colored Democratic Club, County Democracy, Society of French Canadians, Independent Order oif Foresters and numerous social and industrial organisations. The route of the procession covered the finest portion of the center of the city. Everywhere along the route the streets were densely crowded with people who greeted the distinguished guests in the most cordial and enthusiastic manner. Spanning Monroe street just east oi State street is the triumphal arch under which the procession passes. The arch :rests on two upright square columns which rise from the sidewalk to a height of thirty feet. These column* are covered with bunting representing the American Bag with the stars on the capitals just below the pyramidal npex. Each face o' the column is draped by crossed flags an on the panels lower down are golden

shields each of which input the Dime or a Territory. Thirty-eight golden stars, each representing the State whose name it bears, shine on the head of the arch from side to side, and in the center of the span is a representation of the arms of the United 'States, forming a support for a marble bast of Colombia. Pendant from the center of the arch, by rope* of smilax, is a bust of Washington, on each side of -which is a scroll th at bears the inscription, "President of the United States” Below this in whita letter* is the word “Welcome.” The be_ are tastefully and, in some cases, elaborately decorated. A State street establishment has exhausted the means of outside decorations in its embellishments. Hundreds of flags flutter from the windows, and the mMdta.of the building is a large portrait of the President, with thi legend, “Welcome to Chicago.” The large show windows bare been sat with historical scenes, lit one George Washington appears in the costume and attitude so well known from the picture, “Crossing the Delaware.” In the next is General Grant in toll uniform, infantrymen with grounded arms being ok either side.

THE PACIPIO COAST. B» Atmosphere of Su fMldM Tnteted with Serious Allegation* o( «*il«l Coiruption—fnten*e Indignation Aureagth* Better Clou of Clttaen*-Higher Freight* Another 'Wheat Babble. Sa.t Frakcimco, Clot. 10.—The Ban Francisco atmosphere !a murky with partial disclosures of wholesale and indiscrimluate bribery. Occasionally gleam* ol light have appeared, bat the air U atttl heavy, though heroic effort* ara being made to clear it. The storm has been a long time gathering, but no fierce and widespread has it proven that everybody is astonished and shocked. It has eonac from three directions. The Bharon divorce case has furnished one storm canter, the case of Mrs. Wright vs. the Qeaky street . cable road another, and the cat# of Fecny Climy. better known as “Little Pet,” the third. In the Bharon case the alleged attempt to bribe Judge Sherman was the sensation. Ex-Judge Evans, who was indicated' by ex-Judge Terry to be the culprit, hi* ’ made public a statement emphatically defying the charges. Notwithstanding this Terry, who is now here, reiterates ihe charges, and says he is willing to lay the fafts before any authoriied person ot persons. It is understood that the matter will be investigated by tho grand Jury to-f day. Terry promises to m ike a sensation when he gives his intoimation to ths grand Jury. * ;! The Wright case is more complicated in its features. In this case three persons were charged with an attempt to bribe s Jury, Ono of these, ei-State Senktoi Creighton, has been convicted but owing to the kindness of the conviotiug judge, who released him on $1,000 bond, he failed to appear and. received his sentence. It is generally believed he is now safe in Mexico. The others implicated in the cttse are R. F. Morrow, a reputed millionaire, and James McCord, who is at present at Denver, engaged in cable road construction. Morrow** case came up during the past week, btjt owing to the absence of one of the principal witnesses Who is reported to be in Montreal, bn* been postponed. As MoCord’s case wns set to come up after Marrow’s trial, the proceedings are for the time being blocked It is freely stated that both Creighton and Davis have gotten out of the way so as to break down the case for the prosecation. Morrow has been released on $50* 000 bail. In “Little Pet**" case,tbe worst feature* appeared. .It comprehends the alleged bribery of Judge Toohey and District Attorney Stanehiil, and a number of minor issues in which the notorious politician, Christopher Buckley, is implicated. ‘‘Little Pet” was recently convicted of IJury bribery and in the course of bis trial *evera! attempts to bribe the Jury which waa trying him, were detected. This led to an investigation by the grand Jury of bribery in general. In the course of this investigation it become necessary to secure certain documents in the possession of a Chinese merchant, and a search warrant was procured to obtain them. While foreman Men ties of the grand Jury was seeming the papers, a deputy sheriff appeared on the scene with a writ of replevin and attempted to interfere with him. In fact, Monsies was competed to deliver the papers to the sheriff, but while they were being transferred to UM sheriff’s office, he got some of the most important nnd secreted them. For this h« was arrested, but no charge could be made to hold against him. He then turned about and had those who interferred with hi* search warrant arrested for contempt ol i I 1

court. Among those thus proceeded agmnsi was H. B. Lowenthal, the attorney f<* “Little Pet.” He was t he only one cxmTicted, and was sentenced to #n day» imprisonment and JJ5U0 fine. He is now oat on a writ of habeas corpus, which conges tip for a hearing next Tuesday. Among the papers secured by Measles was a document which showed that foOl had been paid to Judge Toohey before whom “Little Pet” was tried, and to the district attorney. There were also a letter and telegrams which tended to show that Christopher Buckley was interested in “Little Pet" and had been applied to for his influence and aid. None of these matters has yet been proven, and those implicated make emphatic denials of any i wrong doing. These alleged corruptions being madt public at the same time, have created in tense indignation among the better dam of citisens, and will, no doubt, result in a thorough investigation and the punish raent of those criminally concerned. Tbs organisation of a vigilance committee U bang on the levee the most important malefactors, was freely discussed and strongly advocated by One of the morning newspapers, but such a proposition vrn* only greeted with smites by the more collected and sensible portion of the people. There Is, however, a strong movement on foot to organise a committee of citisens whose duty it shall be to see that the Investigation is made in the most complete manner, and that fall justice is meted out to jndge and jury. It is probable that there wiU be very in* portant changes shortly in the export of several articles of California produce, which are now going east at very low rates. Soma of the transcontinental lines, it appears, are complaining of the very low rates at which certain classes of freight have been carried in competition with the Canadian Pacific, and have re fused to participate in it for the futura A good deal of correspondence is goW <* between the Southern Pacific and trail* continental lines on the subject, the result of whicn has not yet transpired.)It i*.almost certain, however, that the Wtfe 4 of sixty cents per hundred pounds on sugar to Missouri river points W dropped after the 15th of the month, rate of seventy-five cents subeti This will be good news for the Pacific, as that cdtupany will un obtain the greater portion of such at its present rates.
