No traces Of the man Palmer. one Of
she occupants Of the bateau that coilided
with the steamer Clifton Sunday night,
have yet been found, and his family ana
friends have about come to the conclusion
that he has been drowned.
There seems slight reason to believe
otherwise, as mad he reached the shore
there would certainly have been found
some means OF notifying his people that
ne was safe. The swift current probably
proved TOO much for his strength and bore
him 70 the bottom of the river.

CENSORSHIP ABOLISHED.
Another Good Result of Admiral Dewey,s
Return.

Return.
Washington, Oct. 1O.-Admiral
Dewey has succeeded in convincing
President Mckinley, before the latter
went West, that the censorship over
news matter filed at Manila was un-
just and unnecessary. The matter was
put in the hands of the War Depart
ment, and In the absence of Secretary
Root Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn
to-day issued the necessary orders.
Word has been received that Major
General Otis has removed the censor
ship over press dispatches and other
telegraph matter filed at Manila and
other offices in the Philippine islands.
This announcement was made this
afternoon in connection with the COM
plant that the press dispatches from
Manila in the morning newspapers
concerning the attack yesterday by
American soldiers, sailors and marines
on NOveleta minimized the part taken
in the engagement by the battalions
of marines under Colonel Elliott.
There was some feeling manifested
over this in the Navy Department, and
there was disposition to accuse Cen
eral Otis of having applied the blue
pencil to complimentary references to
the conduct Of the naval contingent.
The War Department was appealed
to, and immediate action was taken.
The only restriction now imposed on
kilograms filed at Manila and else
where in the island is that copy of
them shall be furnished to the head
quarters at the place of filing. This
copy. it is asserted, Is for reference
should any complaint be made con-
cerning the information given in the
dispatch.
Thus has Admiral Dewey again DEM
onstrated his fairness and good sense
Orders We're telegraphed to-day to
the Newark. now at Mare Island. to
Join Admiral Watson's fleet for block
ade service. Orders were also sent to
the Brooklyn, the Nashville the Badger
and the New Orleans to expedite their
preparations to sail for Manila. The
activity of the rebels reported within
the past two days is the motive of the
orders issued to-day. 1t is proposed to
aXecut Admiral Dewey's suggestions
for tight blockade of the Philippine
ports at the earliest possible moment.
The emergency squadron for the
Philippine service will consist of these
| tine vessels:
The Brooklyn. the Nashville. the
New Orleans, the Albany, the Newark,
the Badger, the Marietta, the Ma
rhias, the Bancroft, the Monocacy
and the Panther.
The necessity for haste in the dis
patch of the larger vessels is shown
by the fact that the Brooklyn will not
be dooked until she reaches Hong
Kong.

Corner Stone Laying. Great banquet
And u Parade.

Chicago. Oct. 1O.-Chicago's great
auditorium never held q greater gath
ering than last night, when the Chica-
go Day banquet was held within its
walls under the auspices of the Fall
Festival committee. The great stage
upon which 1000 people, can easily
find standing room, had been enlarged
and Il great floor built out over the
seats of tile parquet, quadrupling the
door space of the stage.
Back of the raised table at the west
of the hall, at which President Nc
kinley and the guests of honor were
seated, was an elaborate peace arch
twenty feet in height. The whole room
was elaborately decorated.
The President, who was the guest of
honor, sat at n raised table on the right
Of Melville e. Stone, the toast-master.
Other distinguished guests were at
the same table, among them being
Vice President Don Ognacio Mariscal
of Mexico, Premier Wilfred Laurier
of Canada, Senor Manuel de Azpiroz,
and members of the Cabinet.
Speeches We're made by President
Mckinley. Premier Laurier and sew
eral others.
The ceremonies of the laying of the
corner stone We're inaugurated by c..
u. Kremer, secretary of the federal
committee, who announced that the
stone was ready and read the list of
articles placed within it, President
Mckinley was introduced by Secre-
tary Gage and as the President stepped
forward to receive the trowel from the
hands or Architect Henry Ives Cobb.
the crowds burst forth into cheer after
