At 3 o'clock yesterday morning there were a trine over 4000 of the visitors in Zlon; eighteen 'hours later, at 9 o'clock last night, the number had been swelled to 9500. There were still fourteen trains, carrying -1000 passengers, back on the line "i 1 the Rio Grande Western between this city and Grand Junction, while trains with people had not yet been delivered to the Western. The trains came In, as on Saturday, at all hours except schedule time. For this a stiflicient reason is given in the loss of the identity of the various parties. Trains have been made up and divided just as the exigencies of the roads demanded, so that in the last run from Grand Junction delegations have been strangely united and parties from entirely different sections of the continent have been joined together.

In this way the railroad people have lost the Identity of their patrons, and have been unable, except In a general way, to tell when any delegation would arrive. "It is the greatest movement of people known to Western said General Pawsqnger Agent Wacl! loigh of the Rio Grande Western last evening, who gave to The Tribune this bulletin he issued at 11 o'clock: THIRTEEN THOUSAND VISITORS.

Only one visitor, so far as learned, referred to local conditions by way of condemnation.

Rev. Cnrtland Myers of Brooklyn, preaching in tho First Baptist church, in discussing Utah, said that eventually Mormonlsm would be swept from land. SERVICES IN TABERNACLE. This was the more repelled by Gentile residents because of the important part Mormons have played in the. entertainment of the visitors in giving the use of the Tabernacle Cor the rally yesterday.

Upon this first occasion when the magnificent cathedral ot" the Latter-day Saints has been used lor non-Mormon religious services, the Tabernacle was decorated by.Mormon hands and with Mormon money. The kindliness of the Mormon church poo- pit! elicited warm thanks. EARLY MORNING CROWDS. That the crowds of Saturday had swollen during the early hours of yesterday morning was discernible to any one who watched the traffic of. State badge-wearers along the main thoroughfares and the avenues leading off to the headquarters of the different delegations.

Not only was this convincing in those places, for the Temple grounds, Briglmm Young's residence and the vicinities of the Eagle gate and the Young burial ground attracted sight-seers from o'clock until near the hour of the big mass meeting at the Tabernacle. The most conclusive evidence of an increase was measured by the steady How that passed all th most ot tut- enous" 'intend ioufflM EU WILL GOTO Tno 0 aa ve last delegations which to accom- Sfo 1 sw ips San Francisco Prepares for Her Visitors. more in use While none business'praciieally closing at thes places tor UK- day by 9 nVloek.
