Confetti throwing began at aa oarly
hour, and will continue all during the
week. By I o’clock yesterday afternoon
the streets had th* same appearance,
virtually, as they did the day after
tbs ”bfg show” of 1894, except that
this "snow” was vari colored and con-
sisted of many minute bits of paper.
There was no use In becoming angry
If, when giving a smiling greeting to
a passing friend, you suddenly had
your mouth and both eyes filled with
a rainbow colored shower of paper par-
ticle*—“the bridle was off.” figurative-
ly speaking, and all persona, old and
young, were Indulging In tba harmless
pastime. Everyone was In perfect good
humor, for that species of fun was
strictly on the program, and no get-
ting around It. Maid* and matrons,
bachelor and benedict, callow youth
•ad old age. all hail a plentiful sup-
ply or confetti, and wets unsparing in
Its use
Horns, “ticklers,” and all the other
concomitant* of a Joyful holiday sea-
son were conspicuous by their pres-
ence, and the din created by them In
tot hands, or rather mouths, of lusty-
lungad youngsters was duafeulng from
rosy morn till midnight. They were
out to see and be seen, to hear and
ha heard—especially the latter. The
loudor the rucket each raised the more
pleased each was. They were happy,
•nd why not? King Nottoc only visit*
hare once a year*
Nearly every business house In tho
•Ity has been bnflttlngly decorated for
tho royal visit, and the No Tsu Oh col-
ors flaunt themselves gaily from every
flagstaff, awning and post
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
Look! Look! Look!
This la tho admonition that greets
you as you walk under the archway
of brilliant electric lights and face the
galaxy of attractions gathered on the
great Midway. Last night marked the
opening of tho complete electric Illum-
ination of the entertainment center.
Early In the evening the crowds began
thronging within the enclosure. At
the entrance were many crowds of
Carnival revelors, and all who puased
within the gatoa were showered with
confetti. There was much boisterous
fun, but no rowdyism.
Within the gates everything that
would result In Innocent fun “went.”
Washington, Nov. IE—Indications at
aa oxtra session at tho newly elected
congress have rather aa aflrmativo as-
pect. The report from the conforoneo
at Wllwankoa of tho Wisconsin mom-
bora of con gross who mot to discuss
tho candidacy for speaker of Mr. Bab-
cock ha* not been exactly confirmed,
but there Is no doubt that .on tho occa-
sion of the conference Mr. Babcock
gave hla oolleage ssoumaoo that an
extra session was to bo exported. Hte
denial that ho gave a straight state-
ment that there would bo aa extra atom
slon he has qualified by saying that
ha did not speak with the authority of
tho president. Nevertheless, It Is be-
lieved that while the calling of aa
extra session has not been determined
as to date. If at all. It Is certain, as
has been frequently stated in these dis-
patches, that the subject has been se-
riously discussed by the republican
leaders and that It has been under
const deration ever since the Oyster Bay
conference last summer, at which there
were widely acted as present Senators
Aldrich, Bpooaer, Lodge, Platt of Con-
necticut, Ha ana and Allison. No offi-
cial lad I cation of tha extra oooslon stop
was given out from that conference^
bat It was said to have boon debated
thora mad Its final determination loft
to the developments of the campaign
then In progress.
