PLENTY OF RID FIRE,
Says President Mckinley, at Dew
ey's Washington Reception.
A MONSTER PARADE AT NIGHT,

And Arrangements Have Been Per-
fected For Carrying Out tho Presi-
DENTS Injunction In Lavish style.
To Make the Night a Memorable One.
Washington, Aug. 1O.-"GentIemen,
burn plenty of red fire" That was
President McKinley's emphatic adj
monition to the representatives of the
citizens of the district when they call
ed to consult with him regarding the
arrangements for the reception to Ad-
miral Dewey upon his arrival in Wash
ington.
When the chief executive of the ma
ton views the city on the night of
Dewey day he will find beyond doubt
that his injunction had been carried
out most faithfully That will be a
night, indeed, at once remarkable and
memorable. and already active intel
lects are considering the various feat
ures that will combine to make it
such.
Admiral Dewey will be escorted to
the Capitol on the day the nations
sword is to be presented to him by a
committee. That night there will be
a monster parade. Every organiza-
ton in the District of Columbia will
be invited to participate in the process
sion Every military body. all the
civic. fraternal. patriotic, social and
benevolent societies and the bicycle
clubs will be included An energetic
effort will be made to have each body
in line make some distinctive illumina-
ton ON its own account.
For President McKinley's red fire
accompaniment plans are already be-
ing considered. There will be large
number of tin holders secured, in
which the red fire can be safely burn
ed during the passing of the parade.
These holders will be attached to
lamp posts, electric light poles. tele-
graph poles, awning posts and trees.
The red fire will be placed in the pans
and lighted as the parade approaches,
and as it is passing the fires will be
kept up.

The army and navy expenses for July
were about $10,0O00O0 larger than in the
same month of 1897, when the Cover nment
was on a peace footing. This difference
represents to considerable extent the cost
ofholding new dependencies under military
ruIe.

Washington, Aug 1O.-Assistant Sec
rotary Vanderlip was asked yesterday
about reports that he had ordered a
reduction in salaries of several chiefs
and assistant chiefs of division in the
Office of the auditor for the war de-
partment because he had visited the
office and found these chiefs and their
clerks reading newspapers and loiter-
ing after working hours Mr.. Wander

department is two years behind in its
work, Mr. Vanderbilt discovered the
grossest neglect of duties. and held the
heads responsible.

FURNITURE FACTS

You can.
Probably any one of 100000 of
the 1850 pieces of Furniture we
owned when this sale started is abb
solutely
Worth half as much again as we ask
Is such saving worth while?
There are several thousand pieces,
in the various article,
At just half price
And full half OF the remainder
(Which was our regular stock) is
worth by valuation fourth more
than it is marked.
Furniture advances have already
come. Most of the prices are fixed
for some weeks ahead. What comes
in now, except the completing ship
ments on these August-Sale pur-
chases, comes at higher prices.
This Bureau is SO higher than
three months ago.
This Suite viii sell for sos more
when re-ordered.
This neat Oak Bedroom Suite
costs today So more than its marked
price-and the freight besides.
The list could be heightened ever
SO much-but enough said.
Higher lumber.
Higher glass.
Higher hardware.
Higher brass and iron.
And wage advances in the furni-
ture center of the country averaging
12H per cent. and manufacturers
are anxious for more skilled men at
that.
A red and white card marks
every piece that came es-
peCially under value for this
sale.
And such pieces here and there
in stock as are reduced in price
(simply to clear out - not being
booked for re-ordering).
A good many thousand pieces
(the whole regular stock here be-
fore the advent of the sale) bear no
special tag--no matter if market
changes have made them worth
twenty to thirty per cent. more.
August does not change Furniture
values-it was the months of plan
ming beforehand that gave US
Half million dollar stock
at this time-well on to half of it at
the most decisive reductions we ever
knew, all things considered.
August didn't make the prices.

Root to Confer wIth Miles.

Plattsburg, N. Y, Aug 1O-There is
reason to believe that Secretary Root,
who went to Washington last night,
will soon have a conference with Gen
eral Miles at Washington for the pur-
pose of deciding whether changes
ought to be made among the officers in
command OF the American forces in
the Philippine islands, in accordance
with the expressed determination to
push forward the campaign there with
all possible vigor.

The one year of the Dingley tariff made
more money for the tin trust than the four
years of the Mckinley tariff produced for
the infant industry. And, taken together,
the eight years Of coddling given to this
industry, which has lately been merged
into monopolistie trust, has cost the peo-
pie of the United States over thirty two
million dollars, plus the amount of custom
duties paid -on imported tin. Surely, a
stall-fed baby.
