NO CHANGE OF PROGRAMME.
Meanwhile, there has been no change as to

Government was to-day advised. The senior
United States naval officer at Taku is un-
der the most positive instructions to urge
a forward movement, this having been sent
by Secretary Long just after the receipt
OF the original Conger message, and ne
plso was advised OF the intention OF the
Government TO add to his force. These
matters are referred to in the belatsd dis-
patch from Tien Tsin, which touches upon
q speedy forward movement. But no adj
dit.onal instructions on This point were
sent to the United State army officers TO-
day, and the Government is allowing IT'S
officers on the spot to shape their own
campaign. relying particularly upon the
very full and comprehensive instructions
previously given to General Chaifee, botn
in person and by cable, upon his ARRIVAL
at Nagasaki.
Secretary Root said to-day there had been
no developments in the diplomatic situation
which would delay the advance on Pekin.
and that General Chatfee had orders 10
cover any contingency which might arise.
a statement has been made in the dis-
patches from Europe to the effect that Ihe
United States is pushing General Cha1iee
for chief command.
1t was said at the War Department 10
day that such was not the case, thoush
1t was recognized that the situation might
be such as to make it necessary Tor MN

FIRE CARNIVAL
IN SEP TENDER
The Idea Has Been Well Received
and Many Suggestions are
Being Made.

The idea of holding another carnival
here at the same time the Fourteenth
Annual Convention of Volunteer Firemen
meets, as suggested by Mr.. Alexander
Meyer at the meeting of the general COM
mittee on Tuesday night, has met with
general favor.
The suggestion is made that invitations
be extended the manufacturers OF fine ap-
paratus, etc, TO place samples OF their
wares on exhibition, and that space be
given them in various streets in central
portions of the city.
Treasurer Charles II. Phillips, who has
had considerable experience in such mat
ters, made a number of good suggestions.
He proposes that various entertainments
be provided for the visitors, such as races,
tournaments and other amusements. He
suggests that the Deep Run Hunt Club
give their fall races at that time. and that
a tournament be given at the Auditorium
grounds. and that an Amusement Commit
tee be appointed to secure a number Of
attractions. such as Moving Pictures,
Streets of Cairo and vaudeville shows
Another unique suggestion made by Mr.
Phillips is that building be erected. and
at stated time set on fire, and the local
fire department called to work on II. lie
suggests that a man allow himself to be

A STRONG SPEECH.
Hon. Allen Weir Delivered IN Excellent Ad
dress at the Court House Last Nlsht.

V1Seo - sue ~OuTt uVuSe LuSt Nsxut.
Hon. Allen Weir, ex secretary of state
of Washington, delivered a strong and
impressive address at the court house
last night from the standpoint Of repub-
lican principles. Miles S. Johnson, re-
publican candidate for county attorney,
presided and introduced the speaker.
Mr.. Weir, after his Introductory remarks,
paid his attention to the speeches made
by Ex-senator Dubois and r. ]. Dockery
made last Saturday night, attacking the
ex-senator on his tariff record and the
latter upon his false charge in regard to
the Sulu treaty. where the president was
Quoted as giving his sanction to slavery
in the archipelago. The speaker said:
"The treaty in question is with the sui
tan OF Jolo. by which the authority Of
the United States is recognized in the
Sulu archipelago and the American flag
floats there. President Mckinley in his
message to congress transmitting that
treaty, said: Il have confirmed said agree
ment, subject to the action of con-
gress, with the reservation, which
have directed shall be commune
Gated to the Sultan of Jolo, that this
agreement is not to be deemed in any
way to authorize or give consent of the
United States to the existence of slavery
in the Sulu archipelago
The speaker dr;fted into the main is
sues of the campaign. OF prosperity he
said: "The United States has achieved
prosperity SO broad, SO deep, SO universal
and in such large measure that it is about
at the ratio of sixteen to one as compared
with that of four years ago.
Mr.. Weir dwelt upon the fallacies Of
the silver issue, quoting at length from
the false prophesies of Bryan, which have
signally failed Of fulfillment. Speaking
of Bryan he said: "Bryan is political
agitator. He assimilated the populists
and has led the democrats away from
their ancient principles. Mr.. Bryan says
that if we will elect him to the presidency
he will do some things differently from
the way Mckinley does. Bless you, that
is the very reason the people are deter
mined not to elect him."
Mr.. Weir and Miles S. johnson left
this morning for weeks campaigning
tour in the country.

Unraveling the Murder Mystery

CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-Today's develop.
ment in the Defenbach case Of alleged in
surance swindle consisted mainly in the
development of the theories held on the
part of the police, and in the examina-
ton of the papers in Browns desk at the
detective agency. Of all the theories adj
vanced the most startling is that the girl
is not dead and that substitution of
another corpse was really accomplished.
This is beyond proof unless confession
can be had as to the disposition of the
body.
Another theory is that DR.. Unger had
grown tired of the girl and deliberately
planned her death to free himself. The
statement that Smiley had made con-
fession has received no confirmation.
