corted the admiral Into town.
The admiral's train arrived at. the
Grand Central station six minutes
ahead of schedule time, 11 o'clock. A
platoon of pollc had been stationed
at the platform Rates. The Immense
crowd which had packed the station
and had overflowed into the surround
ing streets was not allowed to enter
the tmln fheJ.
Whim tho tialn slowly pulled Into
the station and the admiral was
descried n roar of cheers went up from
the spectators inside the station, anil
was quickly echoed by the thousands
in tho streets.
Escorts I by the members of the gen
rtril executive committee, Adinlra.
Dewc and Lieutenants Caldwell and

Dewey Meets Canadians.
After the Informal luncheon given
Admiral Dewey by the members of tho
general committee, a delegation of
Canadians called on the admiral and
presented him with a formal invita
tion to bo present at a reception to be
given In his honor at Hill Terrace,
Port Stanley, Ont., on any day In July
convenient to the admiral. The Invi
tation included among Its signatures
the names of Sir Wilfred Laurler and
Sir Charles Tupper.
Admiral Dewey in leply thanked thj
Canadians very cordially fur the In
vitation. "Of all the evidences of good
will shown me since my arrival In New
lork last October.' slid he, "none lias
touched me more deeply than this. We
are of the same hlood. There Is but
slight difference between us, and t
want to sav that the one man who
stood at my back during those trying
days at Manila was an Englishman.
Rut for his support and the moral
courage he Inspired me with, I don't
know what would have happened. I
refer to Sir Charles Seymour."
The admiral said that his engage
ments were inanv, and that he was
not prepared to state offhand whether
or not he would accept the Invitation.
"Be assured, however." ho concluded,
"that If 1 can possibly do so I will,
and with pleasuie."
The Great Ball.
Never in the history of the great
Auditorium has there been within Its
walls a sight more beautiful than that
icveulcd tonight, when the great ball
given in honor of Admiral Dewey was
at Its height.
There was nothing wanting. It was
a deciMve success from llrst to last
In all details, from the decorations on
the walls to the reception proper which
was tendered to the admiral. Theie
were present perhaps too many people
to aliow of much dancing, but when
tho dance programme proper was fair
ly under way the olaer peoplo sought
the boxes and the spacious foyer, leav
ing tho floor to the younger people,
whb used It until daybreak. Fully
two thousand people were present. It
being a naval ball, the predominating
decorations were of white and green.
A canopy was drawn over the hall,
making It resemble a huge white
capped wave, tho deep green at the
bottom shading softly Into the purest
tthliis at the topmost edge. At Inter
vals around the tiers of boxes were
placed white galleoras, which seeming
ly started from the midst of bunting
and delicate hued electric lights which
concealed them a few feet from the
prow, where dolphins rose from the
Imaginary sea below. Above each gal
leon rose a towering mast bearing In
relief a lion's head and fluttering with
the signal flags or the navy. Behind
the figurehead of each galleon Mood
a sailor, ft veteran of the Spanish
American war, who saw uetlvo service
In the Caribbean sea. Until after the
admiral left the hall these men ".ood
steadily peering out over the prow of
the fanciful and beautiful ship.
Platforms of Honor.
On th right und" loft of what is
usually thc.Htase of the great theater
vftn ereetttd platformu of honor, upon
the first of which the admiral and Mrs.
Dewey weie seated within handshak
ing distance of those upon the dancing
floor. Upon the second platform were
seated Mayor and Mrs. Harrison.
Tho doors of the hall room weie
opened at 8.S0, and one-half hour later
the patronesses and managers of the
ball, who formed the reception com
mittee, assembled In the ladles' room
at the south end of the foyer. Headed
by Mayor HarrlHon and Mrs. Arthur
Caton, the committee enteied the ball
room and behind two long strands of
silken ribbon took their stand at the
north end of the hall, there awaiting
tho distinguished guests. Admiral and
Mrs. Dewey then entered, followed by
a throng of less distinguished guests.
Immediately behind the admiral came
with their wives .the naval officers on
duty In Chicago and the officers of the
l'lilted States steamer Michigan. The
admiral and Mrs. Dewey, after they
had exchanged greetings with the
members of the reception committee,
took their stand at Mayor Harrison's
right, und to them were presented tho
guests of the city, who had followed
them Into tho hall. Then came in long
lines the guests of tho ball, all who
desired being afforded an opportunity
of greeting tho admiral and his wife.
There was no grand march, tho ad
miral's party retiring to his box when
the line of guests had passed, and the
orchestra striking up DeKoven's two
step, "The Dragoons," the floor was
surrendered to the dancers. At mid
night the admiral and Mrs. Dewey left
the hall for a luncheon In their honor,
given In an adjoining room by Hobart
r. Chat field-Taylor, and after return
ing to the ball room for a brief Inter
val, he and his party retired.

HANNA'S ESTIMATE.
Feels Perfectly Safe in Predicting
the Re-Election of McKinley.
Cleveland. April 30. The Leader re
ceived from Its Washington correspon
dent tonight the following statement
from Senator Hanna, chairman of the
Itepjibllcan National committee, con
cerning the outlook for the coming
campaign from a Republican stand
point: "As a result of a careful study of tho
situation I feel perfectly safe in mak
ing the prediction at this time that
McKinley will be re-elected. In golnp
over tho list of states that cast their
clectotal vote for 'McKinley four years
ago, I do not see any Tthleh will not
do the came thing this year unless It
be Kentucky. This state I am plao
Ing In the doubtful column, adthough
we certainly propose making every ef
fort to carry It. I regard Maryland,
which the Democrats are claiming al
ready,' as icasonably cettaln to remain
In the Republican column. Besides
holding our own in practically all the
states that we carried In 1S0C, we
have reasons to believe that the Re
publican? will carry Kansas, South
Dakota and Washington, which went
for Bryan four years ago, while our
chances fire excellent of winning Idaho
j und Montana."
MAY ADJOURN IN JUNE.
Congress Rushing Business as
Speedily as Possible.
Washington, April 30. The Republi
can caucus committee, on order of bus
iness for the senate today, decided to
recommend tn.it the army reorganiza
tion b'll be taken up after the Alaskan
cede bill is disposed of. Disposition
was manifested to have the Alaskan
bill preired as ipeedlly as possible In
order to got It out of tin- "ay of tho
appropriation bills. The committee
was unanimously of the opinion that
congrcEr should adjourn as early In
June as the supply bills could be acted
on, and there was no dissent from
the opinion that thU result could b"
accomplished during the llrst half of
the month.
The Philippine bill will be kept on
the calendar with the Intention of
passing It, but do decision was leach
ed to take either the shipping bill or
the Nic-ragim canal bill. The latter
mcasute was liscusscd w soim length,
but some unwillingness was expressed
to Its passage until the Clayton-Uul-wer
treaty could be disponed of and
right of way acquired for the canal.

injured In tho accident yesterday show
nine persona dead and nine hurt se
verely. The bodies cf one woman and
a child h-we not been Identified.
Sevetal of the morning newspapers
pronounce severe criticisms oa tho fair
nuthoritir. The Matin says:
"There Is only one Judgment to de
liver on the sad event. It Is this:
Thos- who did not think of preventing
the public from passing under a card
board bridge, after having themselves
rccognUed it as unsafe, and those who
have opened attr.ictlcns to visitors
which are not protected against flie,
are guilty of crime."
The paper calls for n thorough in
spection of the hastily built br.ild'ngs
and to destroy those which present
any danger. It also urges' the closing
of lomo buildings and tin appointment
of a committee of Inquiry, dectailn? a
necessary guarantee of public security.
The rigaro and tho Rappel sound i
note of warning ngalnst attempting to
make tho govojrment responsible, as
Severn! of the Nationalist organs are
only too eager t" do.
At a cahlr.et meeting today. over
which President Loubet presided. M.
Mlllcrand, the minister of ominerc
made a statement regaidlng the acci
dent, lie pointed out that tho exposi
tion authorities were li no way re
sponsible, as the bridge was subject
to municipal regulations until It had
been opened to the public.
The picmler, M. Waldeck-Rousseau,
said an Inquiry was being made Into
the cf.iultlon of the famllbs of the
victims with the view of affording re

STRIKE ON THE CENTRAL
Buffalo Ken State That They Are
Determined to Make No Conces
sions 1,000 Freight Handlers De
mand an Increase.
Buffalo. April SO. With the ultima
tum that was to havo been given to
day deferred, the status of the strike
of the car repairers of the New York
Central railroad Is unchanged tonlgh.
excepting so far as the action of Piesl
dent Calloway In consenting that
Superintendent Vv'alte, of the motive
power department, shall meet In con
ference the metnberH of the executive
committee, has tended to create a be
lief among the strikers that the com
pany Is disposed to pursue a concilia
tory policy.
The leaders of the stilke were to
night very pronounced In their expres
sions of determination to make no con
cessions. They also inveighed against
further delay, nnd insisted that settle
ment must come at once, else they
could not be held responsible for pre
venting a spread of the strike. It was
freely stated that the strike spirit had
taken hold of the railroad men at Buf
falo and that procrastination would
prevent Its being held. When theso
sentiments were expressed it was the
impression that Superintendent Walte
would reach Huffato tomonow morn
ing and meet the oommlttee during the
day.
Tonight about 1.000 freight handler"
employed In the railroad freight houses
of the roads entering Ruffulo, other
than the Lake Shore, decided to strlku
for an Increase of wages and shorter
hours. This movement is Independent
of the car repairers' strike, nnd al
though Its healing Is important, it Is
Incidental as relating to the Issues In
volved. The leaders of the original
sttike disclaim any responsibility for
the arllon of the freight handlers.
Two hundred men employed In tho
yards of the New York, Lake Urle and
Western at repair work also struck
tonight. POSTAL BANQUET.
