There are only six speech-making days left In the campaign, but they afford sufficient time for Mayor Taggart to explain" why he paid $112,800 for lands that could not be sold to any other party for JCO.OOO. : It is reported i that the attorney general .la preparing to proceed in the civil courts 'against the partners of Captain Carter in defrauding the government of $1,700,000.

It has never recovered from Its efforts in the fake lino a year ago, when it tried to demonstrate that the times were no better in October, 1S93, than in November, 1S36. "While a stringent money market prevails in New 'York,' reports from Kansas and Nebraska are that money was never so abundant' In these States. This is particularly the case In Mr. Bryan's State. Is the all-destroying money power tackling Mr. Bryan In close quarters? Now the Mayor Is to reduce the number of day3 that an election officer will be paid to one. Tears ago he made the precedent In. that direction when, as county auditor, he allowed such officers six or eight days' pay. With a sharp fight on his hands Mr. Taggart repudiates his own creation. Something has occurred since 1SD6 to cause the Sentinel to call the Louisville CourierJournal one. of the greatest . newspapers In the world, and It 9 editor, Henry Watterson, Cia foremost American Journalist. Is it be Cause the C-J. has been telling how stupid Ge Bryan,. leaders are that the Sentinel praises it? , ssBBSSBBBSSaSBSJSXBBBSBBS9BBSBBBBBBBBBBBBBBSSSBBSBBSBBBSBBBXSBBBSBSS) The six voting machines which the Tagcart Council 'has ordered have been placed In strong Republican precincts.

There Is reason to suspect that a satisfactory consumer will be discovered as toon as the men who pay the coal bills learn that such contrivances wave fuel and; are a real economy. The four Democratic aspirants for Con gress in the Pennsylvania district so long represented by the late Mr. Ermentrout have agreed that they will not furnish free beer, the objection being that the practice costs candidates from K00O to $10,000. Mr. Tajgart is more fortunate. A beer syndl cate in another city is reported to furnish the liquid for the revenue stamps. Reports, both frcra Republicans and Democrats are to the effect that Mr. Bryan's campaign in bis own State has been dis appointing. He has had large crowds in the clt!e.but has made no impression upon the peyple.. Tfce silver Issue no longer doml nates.

that is not clearly illegal on its face by naming Judges who will do their duty by having such ballots preserved, as the law requires. But this fact does, not warrant a voter In being careless In marking his ballot. Every pretext for throwing away Republican ballots can be removed If every man who votes that ticket is careful to make his X In the circle over the name of Charles A. Book waiter. By so doing he votes the entire Republican ticket. If he should have the whim to vote for some Democratic candidate and puts his mark in the circle and another X .against the Democratic candidate that he favors, his ballot will not Te counted for any candidate. Considering the Democratic ticket man by man, no voter who wishes to vote

the better ticket can do otherwise than make an X in the circle over the name of Mr. Bookwalter. STAT IS OF THE WAR IX Ll'ZOX. The last Issue of the Populist Journal, published in this city, cont?Jns an Interesting r.nd instructive argument to refute the assumption of Mr. Bryan that Congress never bavins declared war agaln&t the Filplnos the conflict In Luzon Is without standing. The Topuliat says that if thi Is true "every American soldier who fires a gun 'at a Filipino commits the crime of an assault with Intent to kill." The Populist then proceeds to prove that Mr. Bryan Is wrong and that the Congress of the United States has no constitutional right to de clare war with tho. Filipinos. The United States made a treaty with Spain by which the Philippines were, transferred to us, and It Is as much the territory of the United States as Is Ala-ska, or any other territory obtained by treaty and purchase. This treaty was not the act of the President and his party in the Senate. Mr. Bryan favored the ratification of the treaty, and it was voted for by a number of Democrats, while some Republicans voted against it. ' If all the Democrats had voted against the treaty they could have defeated it. The point which the Populist makes is. that the treaty made the Philippines ours, and that it does not require an act of Congress to suppress an insurrection in any . territory belonging to the United States, but it is the duty of the President to use whatever fi'rce is necessary to compel obedience to tho authority of the federal government. The Populist makes the further point that for Congress to declare' war against the Philipolnes would carry, with such declaration an acknowledgment of the independence of the insurgents. It also calls attention to the fact that Congress did not declare war against. the Confederate States hi 161, but the. President called out troops to suppress an Insurrection against the federal govern ment. It is further asserted by the Popu list that the President has no authority to acknowledge the Independence of the gov ernment fit Aguinaldo, because he has no legal right to permit 'any ' portion cf the territory-of -the United States' to secede. The only thing which Congress cen do is to establish order in -.the . Philippines as it would in other federal territory and to set up a government republican In fcrm. To make any other disposition of the Philip pines would require an amendment of the Constitution. These points 9 re well taken, except, perhaps, the last. By treaty if Is possible the United States might dispose of the Philippines, as did Spain when it ceded them to this government. That question has not yet come to Congress, since we have acquired territory but have never ceded any territory belonging to us to any other government. AX INCREASE OF THE TEMPORARY DEDT. In his communication to the Council rec ommending a S9-cent levy Mayor Taggart declared that the increased collection of delinquent taxes and the surplus which the 70-cent levy of last year would afford would leave a large amount of money In the treasury Jan. 1 which would go to make up the loss of revenue by the reduced levy. There was no ground for such an assump tion when it was made and there is none now. Indeed, the statement he made to the Council when ho urged a 70-cent levy In August, 1893, showed that there would be no money to spare with the Increased levy. The estimates which he submitted at the time showed that 5128.000 more was needed than could be derived from a CO-cent levy. while an additional levy of 10 cents would yield about $12,000 less than the expenditures which had been specially created by the Taggart policy. The Journal Is credibly in formed that the city has no funds from the first lx months' collection under the 70cent levy, and that a considerable portion of the amount which will be collectetd early next month has been anticipated in the payment of current expenditures. As many of the heaviest payments will be made dur ing the last three months of the fiscal year, it is evident there wdl be no considerable amount of money in the treasury Jan. 1 to helD out the I-cent levy. The result of this will be that, early in the fiscal year of 1900, those In charge of the city finances ; will be asking the banks for temporary loans to enable them to pay current expenses. Having Increased the bonded debt $300,000, and almost to the limit, in four years, the mayor has put the city in a oosltlon where it will be compelled to increase Its floating debt by at least the difference between the 70-cent levy, which his policy has made necessary, and the 59cent levv. which he has adopted as a campaign trick. "The best mayor the city ever bad," as was proclaimed at the early freebeer, meetings, is a very costly luxury to taxpayers. SIOHE THAN A HERO. That Admiral Dewey is a hero In the best sense of tho word a man who has tho genius to make and execute brilliant plans and the courage to assume responsibilities and take risks is, perhaps, the chief cause of the country-wide admiration for him. But other men have been heroes and have performed brilliant exploits, and yet no one of them has received anything like the ovations which have been showered upon the admiraL Such being the case, other causes may be sought for the general homage that the country has bestowed upon him. Important as was his victory. Its chief result in the years to come will not be that he demolished the Spanish squadron, but that hi9 achievement announced that a new world-power had appeared among the nations. Until that May day the United States was not regarded as a nation which could be potential in world-wide affairs. A few weeks before that battle papers In this country and Europe were comparing the ships of our navy with those of Spain, to our disadvantage. That affair in Manila harbor proved that ships and the sailors on them were 'not all In naval warfare, but that the quality of the men as well as the ships Is the most potent factor. The American people, whether they put it in words or not. appreciate the lesson which Admiral

Dewey gave the world, and for that lesson as well as the victory they honor him. If Admiral Dewey, after destroying the Spanish squadron, had sailed away, his victory would not have made the impression upon the country which it has. To have sailed away would have been notice to the world that this Nation had refused to be a power in distant lands, and that we do not realize the Importance of holding or controlling possessions which will give us grea advantage in commerce. Admiral Dewey was one of the first to express the opinion that the United States should hold the Philippines to the extent that it is necessary to establish our influence in that quarter of the world. In fact. Admiral Dewey may be regarded as the Instigator of the modern idea cf expansion, meaning the broadening of the field of our commercial activities by. exercising that sovereignty In distant lands which will open them to our commerce, and, at the same time, insure their Inhabitants better government and make them sharers in our civilization. Consequently, it may be said that Admiral Dewey is the original expansionist in that he directed the attention

of the American people to the great advan tages which will come to this Nation by having a lodgment in the Orient, whose millions of people are Just awakening to the advantages of modern civilization, thus opening the East to our expanding trade and Influence. It is that back of the hero and brilliant naval commander is Dewey the man whose achievement opened the eyes of the American people to the vision of a world-wide influence and power so es sential to commercial expansion. Within the next five years many improvements will be called for in school buildings. New buildings will have to be erected and a wise handling, of the school funds will be of the greatest importance. Five school commissioners are to be elected next week, who will have this business in charge, the present board going out of existence. There is a list of twenty-four candidates to choose from, and this list should be care fully studied by the voters before going to the polls and a selection made of those whom they regard as best fitted for this. responsible office. The most of these candi dates are of the highest personal character. but It-is no reflection on the standing or Intelligence of any to say that some are better fitted for fulfilling the duties of the position than others. Experience In general business affairs and acquaintance with ed ucational matters qualify them to handle the complicated and difficult interests of the schools with an intelligence that can not belong to those whose business ex perience is limited and whose attention has not been directed to the concerns of the schools. . Taxpayers - should consider this part of the ticket with the greatest care, for their Interests are as directly Involved as in th3 selection' of any other publlo officers. The vote for mayor In 1S37, as officially declared, was: Taggart, 20,005; Harding, 16,191; Smith; 464; White, 206.' Mr. Taggarfa plurality was 3,814. There are 193 precincts, so that "an average Increase of Mr. Bookwaiter's vote of !e9 than twenty-two to a precinct would beat Mr. Taggart. If. Mr. Taggarfs vote should be reduced an average of ten in a precinct and Mr. Bookwalter's vote 'should average ten' more than Mr. Harding's, .Mr,, Taggart would be beaten. . If: the 1.S00 r or 2,000 Republicans whose carelessness in the booths was a pretext for throwing out their votes should cast effective ballots for Mr. Bookwalter, Mr. Taggarfs plurality of 1S97 would be greatly reduced. Add 1,800 disfranchised Republicans to Mr. Harding's vote and Mr. Taggarfs plurality would be reduced to 2.014. An average increase of Mr. Bookwal ter' s vote eleven . in a precinct, with no change in. Mr. Taggarfs, would defeat the latter. An average gain of five to a precinct and a similar loss by Mr. Taggart would elect Mr. Bookwalter. In 1837 1,264 Repub licans or Independents voted for Mr. Taggart and twice as many did not vote. In view of these figures all that is required to elect Mr. Bookwalter Is a full Republican vote. An alleged Republican Is given space in an evening paper to declare that he is not satisfied with Mr. Bookwalter on the ques tion of gas meters. He seems to be so Ignorant that he is laboring under the delu sion that the mayor can decree gas meters and no one can say him no. While it is true that Mayor Taggart has been Council and the' whole thing in the city government, a man of ordinary intelligence knows that the existing gas ordinance, if a change is to be made from present methods, must be repealed or substituted by an ordinance au thorizing meters; this can only be done by the Council, and a majority of the whole board must vote for it. This being the case, it is worse than absurd to print articles implying that the Mayor can have gas me ters' substituted for the present system. In all probability the person who writes of his distrust of Mr. Bookwalter is a Tag gart roan masquerading as a Republican. All the indications go to show that th3 Taggart, managers contemplate frauds. Yesterday Chairman Logsdon sent to the city clerk for a list of the Inspectors. When it was returned it was discovered that fortythree changes had been made In the orig inal list. " As the Republican Judges have to be cehlfied to these inspectors to-day, it is evident that the managers hoped that errbrs would be made by sending the Re publican certificates to men who are not inspectors, thus giving the Democratic part of the board the right to appoint whom soever they chose. John R. McLean in his Hamilton speech ignored the leading issue In the Democratic platform the free and unlimited coinage of silver, but his assumption that the effort to suppress the Insurrection In the Philip pines is without warrant will not be more popular than the leading issue of 1896. Mr. McLean seems not to have learned that it ls the duty of the President to enforce obedience to the federal government in ter ritory belonging to the United States. From the reports of the independent, as well as the Republican papers, it appears that the opening meeting of McLean In Hamilton. O., was a dismal failure, or, in the popular term, "a frost." Although great efforts had been made to bring out a crowd, the attendance was slim and en thusiasm was lacking. The sllverltes are amazed that he ignored the first plank in the platform, though it causes no surprise elsewhere. The neglect by self-governing Americans of their own interests was exemplified re cently in Pittsburg at an election in which an Increase of $7,000,000 in the city debt was involved. It might be thought by subjects of foreign governments, who have less voice in the management of public af fairs, that the Pittsburg voter would turn cut to a man end have their ray la ths

matter; but, as it proved, only one-third of

the city vote was polled. , If an Increase of seven millions had been added to the taxpayers' burden in a foreign city by auto cratic power Plttsburgers would have talked as loudly as any, no doubt, about tyranny and oppression; but it' is different when they allow a minority- of their fellow-citi zens to direct municipal ' affairs. Will In dianapolis voters allow the few tc control them next week? If they do they will h?no right to grumble later when affairs go wrong. The antl-Brlggs party In New York, whose mission in life henceforth i3to fight the higher criticism, might as well devote their spare moments to the erection of a dam to keep back the coming of daylight at sun rise. Until , that passage of Scripture, "Prove all things; hold fast to that which Is good," Is stricken out,' there will be people reverent enough to think that a religion worth having is able to stand, the test of Investigation the same as other things founded on a substantial basis. Those most loyal to the truth ought to be the most con fident of its ability 'to win In any sort of conscientious Inspection. . . Admiral Dewey cried .when he referred to the letters he had received from Chicago. People of the WlndyClty should write thing of a more cheering nature. Any man who is "touched" by mall, whether by one of the endless-chain outrages or otherwise, has a right to feel and entertain' a Just resentment toward the perpetrator of the crime.

Maine's Wild Woods Fall of Bis Game This. Season. BANGOR. Me., Oct. 2. The open season for deer began to-day,' and will continue three months, while for moose the open time is the six week? from Oct. 15 to" Dec. 1. Any one who can hit a barn door at ten paces can shoot a deer' In Maine this fall, for the woods are full of them. Just now, under the new law allowing holders of a license to shoot one deer in September, for food purposes only, arid to be consumed where killed, there are .five hundred people camped within twenty miles of Moosehead lake, many of them boys, women and girls from the large cities.! Thef license costs $6 for a nonresident, and $4 for a resident, and hundreds of them have been taken out. In 1&8 there were killed in the region east and north of Bangor 3,032: deer, 153 moose, and 59 carlboi. and this year it is expected that the number will be even greater. The deer are so numerous about Moosehead lake that they are a nuisance to the farmers, eating up their crops and causing general havoc. They are so agile .that they can Jump the hlgheet fences, and so tame that they cannot be driven away, even neraing with the cattle, and coming into the barn yards with the cows at evening. The farmera have no redress for all -the depredations committed by the deer, and they dare not shoot one in close time. The number of deer In Maine cannot be computed accurately, but good Judges have set it at over one hundred tnousana. jock Darllnsr. a famous .hunter, now dead, used to say that there were over 150.000. Reports are common or parties aiong tne west branch of the Penobscot seeing and count ing two hundred and three hundred deer in the course of a short trip. There seems to be a plenty or cow moose this ran, owing, doubtless, to the strict laws for their protec tion, but few nulls have been reported tnus far. Caribou have almost entirely disappeared from Maine, and there Is much speculation as to whether or not they will ever return. Some persons think that disease has killed them off, while others think. the anlmau have gone to Canada in search or cer tain kinds of mosses which are tneir ravorite food, and which the ever-Increasing herds of deer have eaten up. Not for ten years have bears been so nu merous In the country north and .east of iiangor as now. There. is a great crop or beechnuts, their favorite food, and that will bring them In great numbers to the hard wood ridges next month. At present they are contenting themselves with stealing sheep. The last Legislature repealed the bounty of $3 for each bear killed, so that there Is no longer any Incentive for hunters to kill bruin, and the farmers are much wroth, feeling that all their sheeD will be devoured. The sportsmen are glad that the law has been repealed, however, for they regard Dears as better game than deer, and hope to see the tribe of mutton thieves increase. ... Some children in Woolwich recently found a rawn in the woods, and brought it home, where it is being fed out of a nursing bottle. CAUSE OF THE FLURRY. An Explanation of the Confusion In the Cotton Market Last Week. NEW YORK, Oct. 1 In explanation of the confusion 1c the cotton market quota tions from Liverpool, telegraphed to New Orleans last Friday by the Gold and Stock Telegraph Company, the following statement of the entire matter is to-day issued by the company: "The confusion in the Liverpool changes of the cotton quotations, sent out by tne commercial news department of the Gold and Stock Company on FTlday, Sept.. 29, was caused by the necessity of procuring them from Liverpool direct, instead of from the New York Cotton Exchange in the usual way, because the Cotton Exchange was closed. The reports received through the New York Cotton Exchange are based on comparisons with each preceding report before they reach the commercial news department. "In order to furnish the cotton exchanges of the country outside of New York with. Quotations on Friday. the commerical news epartment arranged that they should be stnt to it direct from Liverpool. Its correspondent in Liverpool based the changes on the 2 p. m. price of that day instead ot on each preceding quotation, and the operators of the commercial news department. In forwarding the quotations from New York, overlooked the necesxity for. o advising the exchanges." V

NOW AT HOME. (Conclnded from First Page.)

miral proceeded by the elevator to the upper floor of the mansion: The members? of the Cabinet had assembled in the Cabi net-room, while the President was alone in the library adjoining As Secretary Long entered with the admiral the President came forward to greet the famous sailor, and. grasping his hand, wished him a hearty welcome. The admiral acknowledged the cordial sentiments expressed by the President and then asked as to the health of Mrs. McKlnley, saying he had heard with great regret that she had not been well. In reply, the President suggested that the admiral meet Mrs. McKInley. They stepped out to the corridor, which Mrs. McKInley makes a sitting room, and here found her with some of her lady friends. The admiral was presented and received from Mrs. McKInley as well as the President, a most hearty welcome home. Returning to the library the President in vited his Cabinet associates to meet the admiral. Secretary Hay headed the party, followed by Secretary Hitchcock, Postmas ter General Smith, Attorney General Griggs, Secretary Root and Secretary Wil son. Former Secretary Alger was also present, having been requested by the President to Join the party, and was among those to meet the admiral. - CHEERS FOR THE HERO. The greetings with the Cabinet were brief. and then the President and Admiral Dewey headed the party toward the reviewing stand. They passed out of the rear of the White House, down the gravel walks and out to the street in the rear of the treas-' ury. The crowd seemed to" know that tho hero was approaching, for a great wave of cheering went up and Pennsylvania avenue was bathed In light from end to end. The stand had been erected at the head of Pennsylvania avenue, just south of the treasury building, and as he moved through the stand to the prow built out from its front, leaning on the arm of President McKInley, the crowd started a mighty cheer, which passed down the avenue and was taken up for blocks. The admiral frequent ly bowed his acknowledgments. The President and Admiral Dewey were Joined at the front of the stand by Secretaries Hay, Root, Hitchcock and Wilson and Postmaster General Smith, officers of the OlymnJa and other naval officials. As the cheering at length died away, the admiral turned to Mr. McKInley and the two, seating themselves, entered Into conversation while .while awaiting the arrival of the procession. The head of the civic parade which had been arranged in honor of the admiral be gan to pass in review before him shortly after 8 o'clock. There were many novel and interesting features relieving the sameness of the ordinary civic parade. The spectacle, as the marchers came up tne length of the avenue in the glare of the red lights, under sweeping arches of stars from thousands of Roman candles, was beautiful and Impres sive. The beginning of the march was her alded by the bursting of thousands of giant crackers, while bombs , along the line sent showers of fire into the air. The column was headed, by Gen. George Harries, chief marshal, leading . a numerous body of bicyclists. The wheels were Interwoven with garlands and . wreaths of flowers andgreens and colored. bunting, and every wheelman carried Chinese lanterns. Many were in costume. Close behind the splendid . Marine Band , came . the veteran organizations and Dewey, himself a veteran and a G. A. R. man, looked with pride mingled with sorrow upon the gray heads who marched past with as bold a step as advancing years permitted. A . special meed of applause went out to the veterans of the Spanish war, who mustered In creditable numbers for the parade. A formidable detachment in the line was that of the international machinists following a great six-inch rifled cannon from the Washington navy yard, bearing the inscription: "We make the guns for Dewey." The Catholic societies of the District made a special effort to do honor to the admiral and with excellent results, for their contingent was one of the most numerous and effective in the column. They bore great illuminated crosses," many of the orders were in uniform and all of the marchers carried flaming red torches. , AN ILLUMINATED ENVELOPE. The letter carriers had all of ' the local postal cars In line, ablaze with electric lights", spelling words of welcome to Dewey. One of their features was a gigantic illuminated envelope addressed to dmlral George Dewey, Manila, and marked "Returned to Washington." The German societies had a most creditable representation, and, altogether, the civic parade was a worthy one. . As the rear of the column passed the public fell In behind and passed before the reviewing stand for an hour to get a glimpse at their hero. The crowd was so eager to see Dewey that they spoiled the effectiveness of this part of the arrangements by breaking through the ropes . and surging about the grand stand, where they gave vent to wild cheering and a noisy demonstration that completely upset this part of the review. Admiral Dewey gave frequent acknowledgments to the cheers for him, and, seeing that the review had lost its distinctive character as a procession, quitted his place early and with the President, fol lowed by the members of the Cabinet, left the stand, the admiral proceeding to the home of his hostess, Mrs. McLean, and some of the others accompanying the Pres ident to the White House. The procession was in Una for a half-hour later, and there were frequent salutes in Ignorance of the admiral's absence. . , It was 9:10 o'clock when the fatigued re clpient of the day's demonstration reached the residence of Mrs. Washington McLean, mother of the Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio, on K street, facing Far ragut square. He was accompanied , by Chairman Moses, his two aids. Lieutenants Brumby and Caldwell, and his son, George G. Dewey, arriving at the same time. The admiral was met at the head of the stair case by Mrs. McLean and her daughters, Mr3. Hazen and Mrs. Ludlow, and her grandson, Capt. Frederick Berger. Mrs. McLean welcomed the admiral and turned over the house to him for his use during his stay in Washington. Mrs. Me Lean and the members of her family then left, going to her country residence, Beau voir. In the suburbs of Washington. The admiral had arrived sooner than was ex pected and before a crowd had collected. Presently the people surged In on all sides and for some time would not believe the officer, who said the admiral was Inside. A band came up and serenaded the admiral, the crowd cheered and cheered, and finally Dewey appeared at the window and bowed his acknowledgments. Cries of "Speech! Speech!" were heard on every side, but met with no response. Luncheon was served at 9:30 and then the admiral retired. Crowds lingered about the house for some time. The arrangements for the dinner to be given by the President on Tuesday evening in honor of Admiral Dewey have not yet been fully completed. The original inten tion was to limit the number of guests to fifty, and to give the dinner in the state dining room. The list of prominent people whom the President . desired to be present has grown beyond . the capacity of that room, however, and it has been decided to have the dinner in the corridor, in which seventy-five persons can be seated at tables Among those who have received Invitations are Admiral Dewey and his son and the na val captains who took part In fie Manila engagements.

DEPARTURE FROM SEW YORK. Farewell Crrftlngs and Sarrevder to Washington Committee. NEW YORK. Oct. 2. Admiral Dewey arose early this morning and began preparations for his departure for Washing ton. After a light breakfast, during which he chatted with the members of his family, the admiral expressed himself as being much refreshed after the fatiguing Incidents of . the past week. The admiral saw no visitors this morning, but kept to his rooms, attending to some personal business until about 11 o'clock, when, with the party escorting him, he started for a drive before proceeding to the railway station. Admiral Dewey has received so many let ters of welcome and congratulations since his arrival in the United States that he finds it impossible to answer them as he would wish. He therefore asks the press to convey his acknowledgment of their receipt and his thanks for the congratulations and good wishes 'Of his many friends. Mayor Van Wyck called about 10 o'clock and had a short: talk with the admiral, whom he bade good-bye. Before he allowed the mayor to leave Admiral ' Dewey told him to thank the people of New, York for him for the remarkable demonstration in his honor. "Itwas magnificent," said he, "and far exceeded my expeetatlons."When the admiral left the : Waldorf-As toria to go to Jersey City to take the train for Washington the stoops and window sills and railings of all the houses between the end of the hotel on Thirty-third street and Fifth avenue were filled with people anxious to catch a glimpse of him. Down Fifth ave nue the line extended, each side of the street being filled with people. Members of the committee who had personally escorted Admiral Dewey through the two days' cele brations assembled In the hotel before 12 o'clock. They were St. Clair McKelway, Richard Croker, ex-Govefnor Morton, Wil liam McAdoo. W. W. Foster and James Spellman. Senator Depew was missing. He went to Washington on a special train dur ing the afternoon. The committee went up to Admiral Dewey's room with some of the members of the Washington committee which escorted the admiral to the capital. These were Senator Redfield Proctor, of Vermont, Commander Balrd and John J. Edson. Mr. McKelway, who headed the local committee, went through no formality, simply saying, "Gentlemen, here is. the admiral." Admiral Dewey bowed, and when asked if he was ready to go he said he was, and he and Mr. Edson started down stairs to the carriage. His son, George Dewey, followed. The admiral and his son came out of the hotel together and Mr. Edson handed the admiral Into the carriage. George Dewey got into the carriage and then Mr. Edson entered. Sailor Nygard, of the Olympia, was. on the seat with the driver. The Dollce cleared the middle of the street and the carriage started off. 1hen there was cheering and waving of hands and flags, and the admiral took off. his hat and smiled. Then the carriage stopped as Mr. Edson told the driver to wait for the other carriages. The crowd tried to break through the police lines when the carriage was stopped, put the Dolice manaeed to force the people back again. The cheering was continuous. The first carriage after that of Admiral Dewey contained Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dewey and Senator Proctor. In the second Captain and Mrs. Coghlan and Commander Balrd, in tha fourth Lieutenant Brumby and: Ensign Caldwell and In the fifth the two. Chinese servants. AT THE PIER. All the way down the avenue to Twentyfifth street the admiral's arrival was await ed by a huge crowd. As his carriage came along the people cheered him again and again, the admiral acknowledging the greet ing by raising his hat and bowing. The carriages drove down Twenty-fifth street to the river, where the admiral. boarded the navy-yard tug Nina. When Dewey's carriage reached the Penn sylvania pier a great cheer went up and the admiral lifted his silk hat and bowed to the right and left until the carriage passed beyond the crowd. General Miles hurried to the door of the carriage, pushing th Eollce aside, at the same time unbuttoning is overcoat and displaying his yellow sash, and full dress uniform. "How are you. general?" said the admiral, as he stepped out. Then he was helped on board by two blue JJackets. who steadied the gang plank, the remainder of the party following. The admiral shook hands with) everybody, Including his brother Charles, who has seen him very little since, he returned home. To nearly every one he extended his left hand and carried the right as if it were crippled. Sergeant Eagan had lined up the mounted! police on the dock, and when he gave the cue the police let loose three rousing cheers, which were taken up and re-echoed by the people who had crowded the docks. The admiral raised his hat and smiled. Then Sergeant Eagan came forward and said: "Pleasant Journey, admiral," and the admiral reached forward and inquired, "What AlA von R9v. cantaln?" "I wished you a pleasant Journey," re plied the sergeant. ... "Oh, thank you," said the admiral, quickly, and smiled and bowed again. Shortly afterward the tug's whistle gave a blast and the boat began to slip away. The admiral, who was standing in the bow -ith ripripral Miles and several others, was the first to discover the possible danger in the vicinity or the line, wnicn was Decorolng taut. He started away and cautioned the others to do so also. Everybody cheered him as the tug passed out ot the 8lThe Nina put in at the Pennsylvania wharf, near the Express Company dock.

He spoke of one letter he had got from a Scotchman who had been giving him advice. Admiral- Dewey said the man had told him he was a great man. but that he must not let the recep tion turn his head, and that if he pursued the course he had been pursuing to the nrt hi name would be high in history, but he must remember that there are other great men. and that his name would not hnr1 the list. In speaking of the crowds that lined the route of parade Saturday Admiral Dewey said th-it it was one sea of human face. all smiling, and that he "had never seen so many beautiful teeth." As the boat put up at the pier the crowd nrhlrh had cathered recognized the Admiral. who was preparing to step off, and the cheering was tremendous. The boat was tied up, and the Admiral was aided by Lieutenant Brumby and Mr. Edson. The eighty members of the v asnington commit, tree were dnwn ud in front of the landing. and Admiral Dewey stepped forward and saluted Mr. W. V. Cox, or the committee, with whom he shook bands. Mr. McKelway then formally turned the Admiral over to the Washington people. General Miles had come up on the dock with all the other officials on the boat, and Mr. McKelway said to General Miles: "General Miles. I hand over Admiral Dewey to you. See that he is wen taxen care ot. A number of the members of the com mittee stepped forward and greeted the Admiral, and Ross Perry delivered a speech of welcome.

Relic Hunters Chop ricce from Dewer Arche and Pillars). NEV YORK, Oct. 2.-In their mad dsir ret newev souvenirs yesterday hundreds of people hacked at the columns along Fifth avenue and even at the figures in tne triumphal arch itself. They would have ruined It had not the police Interfered. These vandais began their ?ork early. In the morning, when mostof the Dewey enthusiasts were at rest, they appeared in Fifth avenue above Thirty-fifth street, to get as much of the decorations as they could carry away. There were some women in the crowd. The gilded figures on Fifth avenue, from Thirty-fourth street to the entrance to the arch, were the first to be attacked. Not one was left intact. Big Jackknives, files and even hatchets were used to chop off fingers and toes. One man removed an angel's face. Another stripped another angel of its right wing and broke It into pieces for the crowd. One gilded figure was .hacked so that it could not be recognized. Those who were collecting the bits of plaster put them in handkerchiefs, pill boxes and baskets, which had been brought for the occasion. Women helped small boys to climb cn to the pedestals of the statues and help in the work cf destruction. They scrambled for the streamers of ribbon. The base of the triumphal arch was punctured with knife thrusts. Not satisfied with, spoiling the base of the structure, some one Induced a boy to climb up to the figure, of Peace and equipped him with a knife. The boy clipped off the fingfr of Industry, for which Bob Fltzslmmons ls said to have) been the model, and threw it to the crowd. Then he sawed off an ear from the baby In the grcup. "Go cn: get Dewey!" shouted a man. and the boy skipped around to the medallion of the admiral which a mother la holding, in admiration for her son.
