In trying to put aside facts. They are

CHICAGO ENJOYS
RED LETTER DAY
GREATEST EVENT OF THE FALL
FESTIVAL.
Grand Banquet at Which President
MoKinley Is Guest of Honor Vice
President of Mexico, and Premier
Wilfred Laurler Among the Guests.
Addresses Delivered.
Chicago, Oct. !). Chicago's great
Auditorium, which has been the scene
of so many notable events, never held
a greater gathering than tonight, when
the Chicago day banquet wus held
within Its walls, under the auspices of
the fall festival committee. The great
stage, upon which 3,000 people can
easily find standing room, had been
enlarged and a great lloor built out
over the seats of the parquet, quad
rupling the lloor space of the stage.
The hall was beautifully decorated.
Hack of the raised table at the west
of the hall, at which President McKIn
ley and the guests of honor were seat
ed, was an elaborate peace arch twenty
feet In height, constructed of plaster
Inc. It was decorated with Hugs taste
fully draped, from the folds of which
twinkled hundreds of little electric
lights.
On every table was placed an elabor
ate lloral piece, representing a famous
battle scene In the history of the re
public: a scene from the history of
Chicago and other suitable events. The
president, who was the guest of honor,
sat at a raised table on the right of
Melville K. Stone, the toasttnaster.
Among other distinguished guests at
the same table were Vice-President
Don Ignaclo Maiiscal, of Mexico; Pre
mier Wilfred Laurler, of Canada; Gen
eral John C. Black, Governor John It.
Tanner, Mayor Carter II. Harrison,
Senor Manuel Ie Aspiroz, the mem
bers of 'President McKinley's cabinet,
several IThlted States senators. Includ
ing Holse Penrose, of Pennsylvania;
Major Wesley Merrltt and the Japan
ese minister.
The opening hour of the banquet was
set for C o'clock, but It was nearly an
hour later than that when the banquet
was In full blast.
The material part of the banquet oc
cupied two hours, and it was nearly 10
o'clock when the toastmaster rapped
fororder nnd brought the Intellectual
portion of the programme to the front
In an address, in which he spoke of
the tltness of the day for the present
ceremony. It commemorates the anni
versary of the day twenty-eight years
ago, he said, when Chicago, In ashes.
laid the foundation for Its new and
.... ....
neirer euy.
Governor Tanner then In a short ad
dress welcomed the visitors on behalf
of the state of Illinois. After he had
concluded Mayor Carter H. Harrison',
of Chicago and Senator Shelby M Cul
lom, of Illinois, were Introduced the
former extending to the visitors the
welcome of the people of the city of
Chicago and the latter n greeting on
behalf of the federal officials of Ill
inois. The banquetters knew by their pro
gramme who came next on the list of
speakers and when the toastmaster
rose to introduce the president, who re
sponded to the sentiment of "The na
tion" he was greeted with cheers that
for n time prevented his voice from
being heard.
President McKinley's Address.
President McKlnley In opening his
address said he was glad to join in
extending a welcome to the distin
guished statesmen nnd diulomatists
who represent the great countries ad
joining us on the south and the north.
We are bound to them both, he said,
by the tie of mutual good nelghlw
hood. We rejoice In their nrosnerity
and we wish them God speed In the
pathway of progress they are so en
ergetically nnd successfully pursuing.
In addressing himself to his topic. "The
Nation," tho president said that on the
reverse side of the great seal of the
United States, authorized by congress
June 20, 1S72. and adopted ns the sal of
the United States of America after Its
formntlon under the federal constitu
tion is the pyramid signifying strength
and duration and after 118 years the
pyrnmid stands unshaken. He con
tinued: It Is Impossible to trace our history
without feeling that Providenco which
was with us In the beginning has con
tinued to tho nation His gracious Inter
position. It can he said that wo have had
no clash of arms which has ended In de
feat und no responsibility resulting from
war is tainted wttn dishonor. In peace
we have, been signally blessed and our
progress has gone on unchecked and ever
increasing In the intervening jenrs. Jn
boundless wealth of soil and mmo and
forest nature bus favored us, while all
laces of men of every nationality and cli
mate havo contributed their gdd blood
to make the nation what It Is.
Our national credit, often tiled, bus
been ever upheld. It bus no superior and
no stain. The t'nlted States has never
repudiated a national obligation, either to
Its creditors or to humanity. It will not
now begin to do cither. It never struck
a blow except for civilization and never
struck Its colois.
Has the pyramid lost any of Its
strength? Has the republic lost any of
Its virility? Has the self-governing prin
ciple been weakened? Is there any pres
ent menace to our stability and duration?
Theso questions bilng but one answer.
The republic Is sturdier and stronser than
ever before. Governed by Its people It
has advanced. Freedom under the Hag
Is more universal than when the Cnloii
was formed. Our steps have been for
ward, not backward.
From Plymouth Hock to tho Philip
pines the grand triumphant match of
human liberty has never paused. Frater
nity und union are deeply Imbedded In
the heurtH of the American people. For
half a century befnro tho Civil war dis
union was tho fear of men of all sec
lions. That word has gono out of tho
American vocabulary. It Is spoken not
only as a historical memory. North,
south, east and west were never so weld
ed together and while they may differ
about International' policies, they are
all for the union and the maintenance of
tho Integrity of the flag.
Has pntrlotlxm died out In the hearts
of tho peoplo? Witness the 125.000 men
springing Into nrms. In thlity days or
ganized Into regiments for the Spanish
war and a million more ready to respond;
nnd the more recent enlistment c "0,000
men, with, many other thouxamiH anxious
to enlist but whoee services were not
needed. Hum American heroism declined?
Tho shattered and sinking fleets of the
Spanish navy at Manila and Santiago, the
charges of San Juan and El Caney and
tho intrepid virior and determination of
our gallant troops In more than forty
engagements In Luzon, attest tho fact
that the American soldier and sailor have
lost none qf the qualities which made
our earlier army und navy Illustrious
and Invincible.
After 12.1 years tho pyramid stands un
shaken. It has had some sovero shocks,
but It remains Immovable. It has endur
ed the storms of war, only to be strong
er. It stands firmer and gives greater
promise of duration than when the fath
ers made it the symbol of their faith.
May wo not feel assured that if wo do
our duty tho Providenco which favored
the undei Inking of the fathers and every
step of our progress since, will continue
Ills watchful care and guidance over us
and that "the bund that led us to our
present place will not relax Ills grasp till
we hac reached tho glorious goal He 1ms
llxed for us In the achievement of Ills
end.
Greeting for Canada's Premier.
The president's nddtess received
every manifestation of enthusiasm.
Following the president. Sir WUfrled
Laurler, of Canada, was Introduced
and responded to the toast "The Do
minion." He was accorded a -nost
hearty greeting, cheer after cheer ling1
ins through the hall.
An equally hearty' welcome was ex
tended Vice President Muriscul of
Mexico, who responded to the loat
"The llepublle of Mexico." He In turn
was followed by Secretary Long, who
lesponded to "Th" Navy."
The glories of the "Grand Army of
The llepublle," were dwit upon bv Col.
D. IJ. Henderson, of Dubuqu. lit.. thi
next speaker of the national house ot
representatives.
The last address en the programme
was by Gen. Thomas M. Aldersrn. U.
S. A. comamnder of the department of
th- lakes, who spoke on "The army."
He proclaimed boner to the heroes of
Bunker Hill and King mountain.
Lundy's Lane and New Orleans yet h
said even they never fought with
greater spirit than the nu-n of "01 or
than our young soldiers ot this gener
ation have shown In Cuba and Luzni.
From this he said we can Infer that
four generations under free Institutions
has at least proved that we are worthy
of our sires.
He justified the maintenance of urm
les bv two considerations. First, they
are an Insurance against loss by for
eign wars and domestic lnsurroetlqii
and secondly, force Is one of the ele
ments In the devotion ot nrogress.
EL-KARNAK CRUMBLING.
Nine Columns of the Egyptian Build
ing at Thebes Fall.
CAIUO. Oct 9. News has just
reached here of the fall of nine col
umns of the great hypostyle hall of the
Temple of F.l-Karnak, built by Set! I,
Dynasty XIX., one of the most mag
nificent and celebrated relies of the
architecture of ancient Kgynt.
The great hall of Kl-Karnak, which
is the most notable of tho monuments
of Its class at Thebes, Is 170 feet long
and 329 feet wide. The stone roof, now
partially in ruins, was originally sup
ported by 13. columns, the loftiest of
which were nlmost 70 feet high and
about 12 feet in diameter. Built by
Seti I. and sculptured partly In his
reign, work on It was continued by his
son and successor, Barneses II. The
hall commemorates, not In Its gran
deur alone, but also by Its sculptures
the magnificence nnd power of thos?
two Pharaohs. The sculptures of the
Interior of the walls represent the moiT
aivhs making offerings to the gods.

Time.
Philadelphia, Oct. 9. At the end of
today's play In the third and last

with their remaining eight wickets to
save n one Inning defeat.

Furniture and Windows.
Hudson, X. Y.. Oct. 9. The three
hundred Inmates of the Hudson house
of refuge for women began at midnight

break the windows lu the cottages. The

ed arrangements.
The guards at the refuge and the
matrons were unable to restore order,

Hudson police. The damage to the fur
niture and electric light wires, which
were torn from the walln, Is probably
about $500.

NEW YORK'S AWFUL
MURDERMYSTERY
A WOMAN'S BODY CUT IN MANY
PIECES.
Part Found in the River and Part in
tho Street Evidence That the
Cause of Death Was an Operation
of Some Person to Whom the Vic
tim Had Gone for Treatment.
New York, Oct. 9. Detectives uro
today searching every house and cellar
In West Seventeenth street, from Sixth
to Ninth avenue, in an effort to find
some clue to the murderers of the wo
man, portions of whose dismembered
remains were found Saturday. Other
police are engaged In grappling in the
North river for the missing portions
of the body. The murder, mystery
combines many of the features of the
killing of F.nima (Till by Nunc Gull
ford, lu Bridgeport. Conn., and of the
butchery of William Guldensuppe b;
Martin Thorn and Mrs. Nack.
Physicians who examined tin- sec
tions of the body found, have found
evidence that the original calls, of the
death wns an operation by sons per
son tho woman gone had to for treat-
i ment. To hide the eilme the body was
cut to pieces. The body was .vi-. while
the blood was yet Mowing In tne veins,
as is evidenced by the prese l e ,-f
coal dust and chips of woods In lb'3
bundles. Vhese caused Chief Devery
to order the cellars examined near
where the first section of the ho-ly was
found. It Is likely the search will e- ;
tend to the tenderloin district. Do"- )
tors who have examined the remains ,
believe the murdered woman was about
live feet eight Inches tall and .v l,;vit,d
from 140 to 1G0 pounds. She was about
::0 years old nnd bad been a mother. '
She has been In rugged health. :i was
shown by an examination of her blood.
She was not a working woiua... but i
In all probability moved In the h'.eher
wnlks of life.
Sharp and Dull Knife.
The nollce think a man and woman
took part in the cutting up of the body.
The man used a knife to cut the flesh
and a saw to cut the bones. The wo
man operated with a dull knife, as
shown by the nervous Inelllclenev of
the strokes and the Jagged edges of
the cuts. Tho body was probably cut
up Into seyen pieces. First the head
was seveied: then the trunk was cut
In two Just below the abdomen. The
legs were severed above the knees.
Thus the fragments would be the head,
the upper trunk. Including the arms,
trunk, the two hips und thighs, the two
lower legs. The first fragment found
was the left thigh. This was picked up
In tho gutter In West Twelfth street.
The second fragment was found In the
river at the foot of West Thirteenth
street. Kvery thing points to the con
elusion that the woman was killed and
cut up Friday night and that her dis
membered body was disposed of at
once. Captain Frank Lund, of the
barge Knickerbocker, whose boat is
moored nt the foot of Thirteenth street,
told a story which leads the policemen
to believe that the portion found in the
street was dropped accidentally. He
says early Saturday morning a furni
ture wagon drove down the street and
the driver Immediately busied himself
In the rear of the wagon for a few min
utes and drove away. Captain Lund
gave a good description of the man
and the police are after him. They be
lieve the remaining portions of the
body were dumped Into the river from
the van and the one found In the streei
accidentally fell from the same wagon.

steamship Gtielph, from Southampton,
Sept. 2, via Tenerlffe. Sept. 8. has ar
rived here. As it was supposed she
had ammunition on board consigned
to the Transvaal authorities, the Brit
ish third-class cruiser Philomel sailed
to Intercept her. The Guelph on being
signalled to stop and say what ammu
nition she was carrying, replied that

lowed to proceed, the Philomel follow
ing her Into harbor.

learned that the cargo would be seized

OPPORTUNITY
FOR PEACE
Reason for England's
Military Prepara
tions. TRANSVAAL SITUATION
Fear of a Native Uprising in SoutU
Africa and a Hint to Europe Be
lief That the Boors Will Not Begin
Hostilities Lord Salisbury's In
tentions May Be Learned Soon
Unionists Urge an Appeal to that
Country What Parliament Will
Be Asked to Do. . , ,
London. Oct. 9. The Uerlln correar
pendent of the Kvenlng Standard s.xys
"Information bus been received in
diplomatic quarters here that Lordj
Salisbury, at the last moment, hesitates
to enter on a war with Mis Transvaal.
A peaceful solution is not, therefore
altogether Impossible, rtllhough it la
linbrobable,"
The vastness of England's prepara
tlons tor wai .aejtnttigly out of all
proportion to the work In hand in
South Africa was not fully realized by;
the public until the war ofllce an
nounced that 25,000 reserve had al-
teady been summoned to rejoin tlicl
colois. As a nntt t of fact General
Sir Itedvers Bul'.er will have eum-i
niand of twice as many British eol-
diers as the Duke of Wellington, th
conqueror of the first Napoleon, even
saw collected on one battlefield.
The reasons back of this lavish dis
play are probably a. fear of a natlvo
rising and possibly u conviction of the
advisability ot showing Europe that
Great Britain Is prepared to resent
any action resulting from the prevalent
continental Ill-will.
In that connection the nel;m vt the
American department of state and tho
friendly statements .if President Mc
Klnley and Secretary ot Slate Hay,
published hero, are welcomed heartily
as a happy return for Groat Britain's
refusal to sanction continental Inter
vention In the war between the United
Stales anil Spain.
As the Boers fulled to attack Natal
when the colony was vulnerable. It la
beginning to be felt that they lire pur
suing a deliberate policy pf waiting for
the British proposals, remaining in tho
meantime on the defensive In tho hopo
of thus winning the sympathies of oth
er nations, nnd leaving to Great r.rtt-
aln the Ignominy of starting hostilities
If wnr cannot be avoided.
If the burghers await tho advance of
General Sir Itedvers Puller, It is con
ceivable that peace will not 'bo broken
during the present year. Should that
be the case and should the alleged fall
ing off In the Bom commandoes con
tinue, tlie force confronting tho Brit
ish commanding general will be neither
as numerous nor as efficient as that
now encamped along the Natal border.
Kvents thus far have tended to gives
time for consideration. All the pro
posals In the correspondence between
President Steyn of the Orange Freo
State and Sir Alfred M liner, British
high commissioner In South Africa,
show that the negotiations were pro
ceeding up to Oct. 6, and that neither
side despaired of peace. Sir Alfred Mil
ne r said he was sure any reasonablo
proposal would be favorably considered
by the British government.
President Steyn's virtual proposal ofl
a neutral zone, to be created pending;
further attempts at conciliation, meeta
with considerable approval.
A report Is current that the political
Interest of the situation may shortly
increase, as It Is alleged that tho man
agers of the X'nionlst party in Greatf
Britain are urging the government to
dissolve parliament after the necessary
credit has been voted, and to go to tha
people In a parliamentary general clec-
tlon on the broad Issue ot the govern
ment's policy In South Africa. The real
Intentions of the premier, the Marquis
of Salisbury, it may bo expected, arcj
to be made public soon.
As at present arranged, the work ol
the session, which Is to 'begin Oct. 17,
Is to consist of the reading of tha
queen's sneech, which Is to deal ex
clusively with the South African ques
tion; tho voting ot the credit and tha
passage of an appropriation bill.
The legislative plans of tho govern
ment are not to be disclosed until par
liament meets again In Fehruary, and
no private bills nre to be Introduced.
