WShington, Oct. 3. The home
comlg of Admiral George Dewey
for r-nceforth the national caDital is
to Writs home was made the occasion
for ie greatest tribute ever paid by
Waiington to any individual. After
therellminary welcome in New York.
Itse unsurpassed in its kind. It re
jna'ed for the highest and greatest
in e official world to hold out the
hat of greeting to the famous ad
mit and to join with the people who
arto be his fellow citizens in bidding
hi welcome. The citizens had made
ey preparation to make the oe
cion worthy of their hero. The
durations were elabornte. Penn
s: a nia avenue was one mass of col
el bunting along the entire line of
fch from the station to the White
Jiso, and not content with this, few
ivate citizens failed to make some
play of color on their residences,
ique designs in fairy lamps dotted
; horizon, great searchlights threw
ad beams of bright light across the
ie sky of a clear October evening
d the stately Capitol stood revealed
all its queenly beauty in the pow
ful rays of many concentrated lights.
On the facade of the newly complete
meral postoffice building flamed forth
vo inscriptions set in electric points,
ie one reciting the famous message
f the president directing Dewey, then
hnusands of miles away In the far
ast, to go forth and destroy the .Span
sh fleet, and the other setting out
he famous admiral's direction to the
aniented Gridley, "You may fire when
.oil are ready, Gridley," which marked
an epoch in the history of the United
States. Twelve thousand members of i
civic organizations paraded befote
Nn, besides tens of thousands of non
organized citizens, and in a roar of
cannon rockets and the blaze of red
fire and the thunderous cheering of the
populace, and the warm greeting of the
head of the nation, Dewey came to the
national capital to a welcome such as
bis not been known here hitherto.

many of the orders were in uniform,
and all of the marchers carried naming

The letter carriers had all the local
postal cars in line, ablnze with elec

to Dewey. One of their features was a I
gigantic illuminated envelope address- !
ed to George Dewey, Manila, and :
marked "returned to Washington."
Following the German societies the

crowd was so eager to see 1 lewey
that they spoiled the effectiveness of
this part of the arrangements by
breaking through tho ropes and surg- '
Ing about the grand stand. Where they 1
gave vent to wild cheering and a nolay :
demonstration that completely upset
this part of the review. Admiral Dew-
ay gave frequent acknowledgment to
the cheen for him and seeing that the
review had lost Its distinctive char -
acter as a procession, quitted his place
early, and with the president, followed
by tli" 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 president to the White House. The
procession was In line for a half hour
later, and there were frequent salutes,
in Ignorance of the admiral's absence.
It wus 9:10 o'clock when the fa
tigued recipient of the day's demon
strations reached the residence of Mrs.
Washington McLean, mother of the
Democratic candidate for governor of
Ohio. Mrs. McLean welcomed the ad
miral and turned over the house to
him for his use during his stay In
Washington. Mrs. McLean and the
members of her family then left, going
to her country residence, Doauvoir, In
the suburbs of Washington.
Later a band came up and serenaded
the admiral, the crowd cheered and
cheered and finally Dewey appeared
at the window and bowed his acknowl
edgments. Cries of "speech, speech,'
were heard on every side, hut met
with no response. Luncheon was serv
ed at 9:30, and then the admiral re
tired.
NKW YORK'S HKt EI'TION

Naval and hand Parades.
New York. Oct. 2. In volume sur
passing all history New York on Sat
urday opened the flood gates of wel
come to the all conquering Dewey and
his gloriously victorious crew. Through
seven miles of human walled streets
the admiral and his men, who travers
ed almost all earth's seas to seek the
nation's foe, marched while millions
cheered.
In days of old it was a custom to
erect for returning conquerers an arch
commemorative of their deeds. This
city followed the time honored ar
rangement and nearly at the end of
the route of parade the marching hosts
passed beneath a most beautiful speci
men of the designer's art which ha1
been reared with infinite care and
skill. Around the arch the crush came
greatest, but there was another feat
ure of the reception that attracted
more attention from the man whom all
gathered to honor than did this mag
nificent work of spotless white.
Just before the procession turned
into Fifth avenue nnd along the green
terraced edge of Central Park was the
wonderful memorial. On a stand fully
250 feet long let ten Of livlngcolorread:
"Welcome, Dewey," and close along
side was a national banner wonderful
ly wrought. It was all made up of
pupils of the public schools, so at
tired and grouped that ine letters of
the welcome Inscription were perfac
and the stripes, stars and field of the
banner swayed like a grand ensign in
a homeward breeze. It was copied ut
ter the G. A. R. display of school chil
dren in Philadelphia.
To this living picture the admiral
bowed again and again, and his eyes
glistened when the child voices blond
f d in sweet harmony and welcomed the
nation's guests with a beautiful ren
dition of "See the Conquering Hero
Comes."
It was a wonderful day In many
senses of the word. Careful Judges
estimated that 3,000,000 people saw the
grand procession, and if this Is so, It
Is safe to say that another odd million
got only the merest glimpse or did not
see so much aa the flash of a bayonet
for such another crowd was neverseen.

anchors and the four bright stars that

Next to Dewey, Schley got the warm
est reception. From Grant's tomb to
the reviewing stand hla passing was
marked with wild cheering. Boys
broke through the lines and tossed
bouquets Into bis lap. "Schley!
Schley! Schley!" shouted a crowd In
Fifty-ninth street.
Through It ail the hero of Santiago
sat bowing and smiling with flushed
cheeks and a look of great pleasure
In his eyes. Several times when tbe
greeting became , most enthusiastic It
looked as If be would break down.
Rear Admiral Sampson's greeting
was In marked contrast. He was ap
plauded, but rarely cheered. Commfnts
about his absence from Santiago were
shouted at him.

THE OI.YMI'IA.
! by the iarp fleet of pleasure yachts,
I the Niagara heading the port column
j and the Erin the starboard column,
1 Last came the vessels of the merchant
marine, th flagship of which was the
Red Ash, and the barges, tugs, propel
lers and unattached vessels. The pa
rade was several miles in length, and
as the warships passed Grant's tomb
all tired the national salute. It is es
timated that over 3,000.000 people liner)
the shores, while fully 160,000 were
afloat In the excursion boats. Admiral
Dewey remained on the bridge of the
Olympia throughout the great pa rude,
and was given u continuous ovation.
One of the most delightful features
of the day was the hearty way in
which the members of the Dewey fam
ily enjoyed every detail of the tribute
to their BTflal kinsman Thov era a
modest family, self effacing, us loyal
to George Dewey as If he were their
own father. Under the guidance of
Edward Wtlklus Dewey, a nephew of
the admiral, who hns been a Now
Yorker for years, the family party left
the Waldorf-Astoria In five carriages
and were driven to tbe steamer Sandy
Hook, where they were the guests of
Mayor Van Wyck and the city. Charles
Dewey, the admiral's elder brother,
was the dean of the party. He is a
tall, stately old gentleman, with a
cordial manner and an unlimited ad
miration for his younger brother. His
wife and son and son's wife were with
him.
Sir Thomas Llpton came in for a
goodly share of the enthusiasm. It
seemed to those on board the Erin Jhnt
it was Llpton day as well as Dewey
day. The guests of Sir Thomas were
some two miles distant from the Olym
pia during the parade up the river, but
certainly the greeting extended to the
owner of the Shamrock could not have
been more enthusiastic or more gener
ous. It began early in the morning
and continued until the end of the
great river pageant.
Admiral Dewey had a day of rest on
Sunday. The functions nnd the recep
tions that have figured so prominently
in the dally life of the admiral sinre
his arrival off Sandy Hook lost Tues
day morning hud proven almost too
much for his strength. The admiral
has been under such a perpetual phys
ical and nervous strain that be was
almost exhausted. Saturday's cere
monies were the most taxing on his
strength of any that he has yet hud to
undergo, and he appeared on Sunday
looking pale and worn. Despite the
fact that ho retired early Saturday
evening and enjoyed u good night's
rest, the admiral on Sunday was too
fatigued to more than remain in his
room the greater part of the time.
Many people invaded the Waldorf-Astoria
who wished to send cards to Ad
miral Dewey, but few were permitted
to do so, the admiral's fatigue being
given as the reason. The only public
functions of the day were the recep
tion of the committees from Chicago
and Philadelphia that had come to in
vite the admiral to visit their cities.
The admiral said that he would visit
both cities, but gave no intimation as
to the date, saying he must first visit
Vermont.
Columbia Allows shamrook Time,
New York, Oct. 3. One of the great
est surprises for yachtsmen since the
arrival of the Shamrock in these wa
ters was the announcement officially
made at the New York Yacht club last
night that the Columbia would have
to allow the Shamrock six and thirty
one one hundredths seconds on a 3d
mile course. It was generally sup
posed that the Shamrock, by reason of
her greater sail spread and apparently
larger hull, would have to give the
Columbia something like a minute time
allowance over the 30 mile courses
which they are to sail. It appears,
however, that Designer Fife, while
giving the Shamrock a larger sail plan
than the Columbia, has at the aame
time so constructed her hull as to give
a shorter water line by almost two
reet
The Advanra In Coal Pripmt.
New York, Oct. 3. The 25 cent ad
vance In anthracite coal announced
some days ago by the sales agents of
the various railroads became opera
tive yesterday. Those Interested aay
they believe that the rates will be well
maintained, although some disagree
ment Is looked for among local deal
ers. It Is expected that this year's
anthracite coal production will be
greatly In excess of all previous years.
