At the close of the address tha Admiral arose and grasping the hand of the speaker, thanked him for his kindly words. Hon. John D. Long. Secretary of the Navy, then arose and delivered the presenta-tion address.

"When the speaker related the brilliant deeds of the Admiral at Manila, the little man in the uniform which bore four stars modestly denied any glory in the matter and. upon two occasions brought his gloved hands together with a resounding smack, saying, 'I did not!"

In recognition, he has appointed jou acting rear admiral, and will recommend tote of tlianls to jou by Congress as. a foundation for further promotion. LONG.

Jn those few words, what a volume of history; what a record of swift, high, heroic discharge of duty. You went; you saw; you conquered. It seems but yesterday that the republic full of anxiety, strained its listening ear to catch the first word from those distant islands of the sea. It came flashing over the wires that May morning as the sun bursts through the clouds, and filled every heart with the illumination of its good cheer. In the twinkling of an eye your name was on ever Up the blessing of every American was on ycur head; and your country strode instantly forward a mightier power among the nations cf the world.

As we welcome you back there comes back also the vivid picture of that time, with all its hopes and fears and with all its swift succeeding triumph and glory. Let me now read the act of Congress in pursuance of which we are here; Hetohcd by the Senate and House of Representatives of t'niled States of America, in Congress asteniblcd, That the Secretary ef the Navy be, and he hereby is, authorized to present a uword of honor to Commodore eleorgc Dewej, and to caue to be struck bronze niedali, commemorating the battle of Manila ISjv, and distribute such medals to the onicefs and men of the tJiips of the Asiatic Mjuaioron of the United Suites, under command of Commodore George Dewey on May 1. and that, to enable the Secretary to carry out this resolution the sum of $10,000, or at. much thereof as may be necessary, is hereby appropriated out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appro, priatcd. Approved June 3, 1S9S.

It was by this solemn enactment, approved by the President, that the people of the United States made provision for putting in material form one expression of their appreciation of your valor as an officer of their navy, and of your great achievements as their representative In opening the door to a new era in the civilization of the world. The victory at Manila Bay gave you rank with the most distinguished naval heroes of all times. Nor was your merit most in the brilliant victory which you achieved in a battle fought with the utmost gallantry and skill waged with out error, and crowned with overwhelming success. It was still more in the nerve with which you sailed from Hongkong to Manila Harbor; in the spirit of your position of attack: in j-our high commanding confidence as a leader who had weighed every risk and prepared for every emergency, and who also had that unfaltering determination to win, and that utter freedom from the thought or possibility of swerving from his purpose, which are the very assurance of victory. No captain ever faced a more crucial test than when that morning, bearing the fate and honor of your country in your hands thouauds of miles from home, with every foreign port in the world shut to you, nothing between you and annihilation but the thin shr.ct'ng of your ships, your cannon, and jour devoted officers and men, j-ou moved upon the enemy's batteries on shore and on sea with unflinching faith and nerve, and before the sun was half way up the heavens had silenced the guns of foe, sunk the hostile fleet, demonstrated the supremacy of the American sea power, and transferred to the United States an empire of the islands Of the Pacific Later, by your display of large powers of administration, by j-our poise and prudence, and by j-our great discretion, not only in act, but alEo in word, which is almost more important, j-ou proved yourself a great representative citizen of the United States as well as now its great naval hero.

The lustre of the American navy was gloriously bright before and you have added to it a new lustre. Its constellation of stars was glorious be.ore, and jou have added to it another star of the first magnitude, and j-et, many of -our grateful countrj-men feel thaC in the time to come it may be j-our still greater honor that j-ou struck the first blow, under the providence of God, in the enfranchisement of those beautiful Islands which make that great empire of the sea; in relieving them from the bondage and oppression of centuries; and in putting them on their way, under the protecting shield of j-our country's guidance, to take their place in the civilization, the arts, the industries, the liberties and all the good things of the most enlightened and happy nations of the world, so that generations hence your name shall be to them a household word, enshrined In their history and In their hearts. Clouds and darkness may linger about them now, but the shining outcome is as sure as the rising of the sun. Whatever the passing tribulations and difficulties of the present moment they will. In due time, soon and surely give way to the dawn of a glorious new day a day not of any mere selfish Imperial dominion of one people over another, but of the imperial moral and physical growth and expansion of all the peoples, whatever their race or language or color, who have come under the shelter of the broad shield of the United States of America.

By authorizing the presentation of this sword to jou as the mark of its approval your country has recognized therefore not only the great rich fruits which, even before returning from j-ou have poured into her lap, but also her own responsibility to discharge the great trust which Is thus put upon her and fulfill the destiny of her own growth and of the empire that is now her charge. It is a new demand upon all the resources of her conscience, wisdom, and courage. It is a work of the needy end beneficent consummation of jJmc "fifths ADMIRAL DEWEY which she is entitled to the cordial help, sympathy and uplift of all her citizens, not the faint-hearted doubts and teasing cavils of any of them. It is a work on which she has entered in the interest of early peace in these new-lands, their stable government, the establishment in them of law and order, the security of life and property and the American standards of prosperity and home. Let those who fear, remember that though her children, guided by j-ou.

took the wings of the morning and dwelt in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there the sons of our father. God. shall lead them and His right hand shall hold them. In this work, in view of the great part j-ou have taken in the sudden development of her soverelgntj-, j-our full knowledge of the situation and the fust hold von have nn rh lirarts of nil I her people she looks for j-our contin ued service and listens for j-our counsel in the high hope and purpose th3t the triumph of her peace shall be even greater than her triumph in war. It is my good fortune, under tho terms of the enactment of Congress, to have the hener of presenting to you this beautiful sword.

If during the manj- coming j-ears. which I rust will be jours of useful service to j-our countrj-. it shall remain fheatbed in peace, as God grant it may, that fact will perhaps be due n.ore than to anything else to the thoroughness with which j-ou have already dene its work. I congratulate j-ou on j-our return across the sea in full health of mind and body to receive it here, here in the National Capital; here oa these consecrated steps where Lincoln stood; here standing between the statue of the first President of the United States and him who is its living President todpy; here in this beautiful city adorned with the statues of its statesmen and heroes, the number incomplete until your own Is added; here amid this throng of citizens who are only a type of the millions and millions mora who arc all animated by the same spirit of affectionate and grateful welcome, I cannot doubt that it is one of the proudest days of j-our life, and I Jtnow that it is one of the happiest in the heart of each of j-our fellow-countrj-men wherever thej- are, whether on the continent or on the far-off islands of the sea. Now, following the authorization of Congress, I present this sword of honor which I hold in ray hand my hand rather let it go to you through the hand of one who In his j-outh also periled his life and fought for his countrj- in battle, and who today is the Commander-in-Chief of all our armies and navies, the President of the United States! The sword was handed to President Mc-Klnley by Secretary Long Immediately at the conclusion of his remarks, with tho request that he make the presentation.

The President arose and in a few brief words expressed his welcome home to tho Admiral, "in which I join with all j-our countrj-men," were his words. A most significant statement then followed: "There has been no flaw in your victory, there will be no faltering in maintaining it." This sentiment was greeted with wild applause. It was uttered by the President with his hands in the air in his loudest tones. The people on the platform at once sprang to their feet, and waving their hats, handkerchiefs, and canes in the air, shouted for several minutes. The President then handed the sword to the Admiral, saying: "It is the gift of the Nation," voted to you by the Congress of the United States." Admiral Dewey's reply was very brief.

He received the sword in his right hand, and, facing the President, said: Admiral Dewey Accept. I thank you, Mr. President, aud I thank the Secretary of the Navy, and I thank my countrymen for this beautiful gift. I shall prize it among the choicest of my possessions, and it shall be an helrlcom in mj- familj' forever. Admiral Dewey then expressed his thanks for the manner in which he had been received, and took his seat.

Cardinal Gibbons was ushered onto the stand, and pronounced the benediction, in which he expressed the supplication that Admiral Dewey might always possess the abiding confidence of bis countrymen. The band played a selection of national airs, and the members of the Cabinet filed into the reviewing stand, while the space In front was cleared for the parade to pas3 in review. The men of the crew of the Olympia were the first to pass the stand. They were greeted with cheers by -the crowd and bared heads on the part of the dignitaries In the stand. They passed in review going "south and countermarched back.

The other military organizations followed. After the parade had passed the Ad HECTEIVING HIS SWORD FROM miral was escorted to his carriage and back to his temporary home by the mounted escort of the civic parade. Among those seated close to the Admiral on the stand were his son, George Goodwin Dewej-, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dewey.

About 100 Senators and Congressmen were present, with several hundred prominent officials and army and navy officers. THE MILITARY PAGEANT. Thousands Cheer the Ol ympln's Crew mill the Soldiery. The miiitary parade in honor of Admiral Dewey today was worthy of the Capital of the Nation and a fitting escort to the hero of Manila, as he proceeded to the Capitol to receive the sword voted him bj- an appreciative Congress. From General Miles and staff in gold laced uniforms to the beardless High School Cadets, in their dark blue uniforms, who brought up the rear of the procession, it was a spectacle that stirred men's blood, and made the I thousands who lined the sidewalks cheer until the flags on the buildings above them fluttered.

The suri from a cloudless sky poured down its raj-s on the gold lace of the uniforms, the nolished stenl of iho ri fles, the scabbards of the swords, and the bright gloss of the heavy cannon, making a scene of dazzling splendor. The same ra-s added color to the red plumes of the artillerj-, the yellow trappings of the cav-alrj-, the waving flags, and the polished toatS of the! Iirirspc: in lino mirln M.o dingy-looking uniforms of the "Jackles" from the Olympia even more warlike Ly comparison. mjuugu ii an vumirai ueey roae cam and serene, bowing right and left to the applauding crowds, and every now a ad then remarking something to President McKinley, who sat by him in the carriage. The President occasionally called the Admiral's attention to come incilent alone tho line of narndo nnd lir Aiimimi would turn and lift his hat, while the cheers broke out afresh. The President did not take cognizance of any of the applause but permitted the Admiral to do all the bowing, and he was kept busy answering the cheers.

His hat was off almost the entire, time of the parade, his head being covered only at occasional intervals when the parade made momentary stops. uhen the President's carriage turned into Fifteenth Street to pass the front of the Treasury. Admiral Dewey was greeted with the wildest enthusiasm. Tho crowd was the -densest from New York Avenue down Fifteenth Street to the turn before the reviewing stand. iuc lltSlil Ulllied IOr two minutes while Admiral Dewey stood erect witn lifted hat and arm by his side, as his picture was taken.

Meanwhile the demonstrations continued and the ovation lasted as the Admiral proceeded down tho Avenue, the echoes of the shouts of the mass of humanity on the street, housetops and at the windows, 'followed him as the sailors and the marines from the Olympia marched along. At The Times Building. "When the Admiral's carriage passed The Times' building at Tenth and Streets, the Admiral arose and removing his hat, bowed pleasantly to the crowd, which filled every window of the big building. The cheers he received made him smile broad-lj-, and wave his hat as the parade moved on toward the Capitol. As early as 8:30 o'clock crowds began to gather around the McLean mansion at Connecticut Avenue and Street, where Admiral Dewey is making his headquarters, and It required several policemen to keep them away from the house.

Women and children largely predominated, and a dozen kodak fiends were on hand. When the Admiral appeared at the window on the second floor there was a storm of cheers that made him bow and smile. The kodak fiends snapped their machines vigorously. For an hour the crowd continued to gather until it blocked the street cars, and when Mrs. McLean's four-horse carriage drove up it had a hard time getting through the crush.

Shortly before 10 o'clock the special escort of Washington citizens resplendent in silk hatB, frock coats, whle gloves, dark trousers, and patent leather shoes, and mounted on horses, rode down Connecticut Avenue and formed on Connecticut Avenue, of Street "The rest of the parade was forming in the streets to the east of the residence, the Olympiads marines ana sailors being on the street just east of Farragut Square with their band at their head-General Harries, of the District National Guard, formed his aides in front of the McLean residence on JXL Street. At exactly 10 o'clock Chairman W. H. Moses of the reception committee was driven to the house. He was thirty minutes ahead of time, but THE PRESIDENT.

after spending a few minutes in the house the door opened and the Admiral and Mr. Moses appeared. The splendid carriage of Mrs. McLean, with its four bay steeds and its outsiders, in black jackets covered with swell small tight fitting caps skin tight white breeches, and black boots with the tops turned down as a sign that Mrs. McLean is in- mourning dashed up to the door, the prapcjng horses scattering the crowd right and left.

The Adminjl and Mr. Moses were driven out into Connecticut Avenue, followed by Captain Lamberton and Lieutenants Brumby and Caldwell'Mn a carriage. The escort of citizens then started for the White House, while trie Olympla's men headed by their own band, and the Naval Academv Band of Annapolis, marched down Street to the west side of Farragut Square. While the Admiral was at ths White House the parade was forming. General Miles and staff waiting in front of the Treasury Building at Fifteenth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue.

As at Manila and at New York, so Admi ral Dewey was ahead of scheduled time in Washington, and he left the Whie House at 10:40 instead of 10.50 as the programme had been arranged. His appearance on Pennsylvania Avenue was a signal for a wild storm of cheers that caused both the President and the Admiral to smile, while the Admiral bowed and waved his hat. Thej- rode in the President's private carriage, Mrs. Ir-Lean's carriage having been dismissed at the White House. The Admiral sat to the left of the President in the carriage.

Immediately behind the President's carriage came Captain Lamberton, Chairman W. K. Moses, and Vice Chairman W. V. Cox in a carriage: the next carriage contained Lieutenant Brumbj- and Commissioners Wight.

Rose, and Beach, of the District of Columbia; Lieutenant Caldwell, T. W. Xoyes, J. H. Cranford, and W.

H. Rapley, of the third carriage; George Dewey, Colonel Bingham, Secretary Forter, and Assistant Secretary CoTtelyou were in the fourth carriage and the Cabinet followed in the other carriages. As soon as the President, Admiral, and party had gotten out on the Avenue General Miles gave the signal and the parae'e proper moved off, turning into Fifteenth Street from Pennsylvania Avenue and moving south, passing In front of the re viewing stand and then turning cast on Pennsylvania Avenue and moving toward the Capitol. In the Line of 3Inrch. A platoon of mounted police, led General Miles and his escort, and then came the Marine Band playing a lively air, gay In their bright red suits.

A mounted brigade cf United States forces, under Lieut. Col. Francis H. Harrington, the horses prancing and their yellow plumes dancing in the breeze. A battalion of Olympia marines followed, and the cheers that greeted the sun-burned, weather-stormed wairiors made them straighten up, while their officers smiled with pleasure.

Every man of them were proudly on his breast the medal awarded by Congress for their bravery at Manila. A battery of United States artilery, with their bright red trappings, and rumbling guns, rolled, by the horses cavorting" and whirling the guns around so that the wheels grazed the curbstone. The planner in which the men on the horses durbed their steeds brought forth applause from the crowd. The light battery, with its rapid-firing guns, also made a nice appearance, the four machine guns showing' In the sun like highly polished warriors. The six big siege guns and two caissons of the Seventh.

United States Artillery were applauded, the drivers of the horses swing the btg guns around the corner of Fifteenth Stfet'in a masterly manner. The Thlrdu United States cavalry, three troops strorife, was probably the most picturesque -body; in the entire parade, their bright fellow plume3, their well-kept steeds and flashing swords, bringing forth an ovation. Then came Colonel Mj-ron M. Parker, marshal, and Andrew Parker, his chief aide, heading probably the most representative body of citizens who ever honored any visitor to Washington. They ranged in age from twenty-five to sixty odd years, and rode their horses well.

They were formed twelve abreast, across the Avenue, and kept an excellent alignment. Every few j-ards friends of some of the men in line recognized them and applause broke forth. Admiral Dewey and Wb party were next. Tho Naval Academy Band of Annapolis, and the band from the Olympia, marched together alternately, playing as they Btrode along, and then came the principal body of the "Men behind the guns," with Colcoresses at their head, and the applause that greeted them, was deafening. Governor J.

Hoge Tyler of Virginia, with a staff of twelve aide3 and a color bearer headed the line of visiting Governors, all aides brilliant in their gold laced uniforms. while the governors wore the conventional suits of black, with silk hats. Gov. Tyler was recognized by many persons along the parade, and wa3 kept raising his hat constantly to those who applauded him. 'Governor Wolcott, of Massachusetts, with six members of his staff followed' Governor Tyler and in turn was followed by Governor Smith of Vermont on a white horse and accompanied by twelve of his staff.

Governors Powers, of Maine; Rollins, of New Hampshire; PIngree, of Michigan; Atkinson, of West Virginia, and Lowndes, of Maryland, with their staffs, followed in order. Governor Lowndes received conslder-erable applause from his friends among the spectators. The militia of the District of Columbia headed by General Harries and staff were out several hundred strong, and made as fine an appearance as the regulars, the Infantry signal corps, ambulance corp3, and light artillery all being represented and marching in good order. The High School Cadets, about 200 strong, brought up the rear of the procession, and the friends of the boj-s along tho line of march gave them a warm welcome. The local Naval Reserves were about an hour late, but with Haley's band at their head they fell into the parade at Nineteenth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, just ahead of the High School Cadets.

The troops passed through the Capitol grounds to Delaware Avenue to Street, where the Marine Band, battalion of United States marines, battalion of United States seamen, turned east and returned to their stations. Light Battery M. Seventh Unitel States Artillerj-, and Selge Battery Seventh United States Artillerj-, and the Third United States Cavalry turned west on Street and proceeded to their respective stations. The District Guard marched to the Armorj-.

President McKinley and Admiral Dewey, with the committee and a cavalry escort returned from the Capitol bj- the waj- of Pennsylvania Avenue and received another ovation from the crowds ou the sidewalk. AT THE WHITE HOUSE. Formation of the Distinguished I'nrty Kscortliif; the Admiral. Promptly at 10:30 o'clock Admiral Dewey reached the White House. All of the entrances leading to the grounds were guarded by police and no one was allowed admission except newspaper representatives and those who were to receive the Admiral.

As the carriage containing the Admiral and Chairman Moses, of the Reception Committee, drew up at the entrance of the White House the hero of Manila was met by Colonel Bingham and without any cccrmonj- whatever, escorted into the presence cf the President and members of the Cabinet, who had assembled in the Cabinet room. The meeting between the President and Admiral Dewey was without ceremony. "Good morning. Admiral, I hope you are feeling well." said Mr. McKinley.

to which Admiral Dewey replied, "I thank you, Mr. President, I feel much refreshed and hope last night's exercises did not fatigue j-ou." The Admiral then shook hands with the members of the Cabinet, after which the entire party descended the stairway and entered their carriages. Admiral Dewej-, accompanied by the President, was seated in Mr. McKinlej-'s private carriage drawn by two black horses. They were driven out of the east gate, where the carriage containing the Admiral and the President took its position in the parade.

The following order was folowed In leav ing the White House by the remaining members of the personal escort, all of whom were in carriages: Secretaries Hay and Root, Postmaster General Smith and Attorney General Griggs, Secretaries Wilson and Hitchcock, Secretary Long and former Secretarj- Alger. The carriage containing Captain Lamberton, Chairman Moses, and Vice Chairman Cox was followed by one- in which were seated Lieutenant Brumley and District Commissioners Wight, Ross, and Beach. Lieutenant Caldwell, W. T. Noye3, Joseph H.

Cranford, and W. H. Rapley followel the District Commissioners. Bingham and Secretary Porter rode together, while the last carriage contained Assistant Secretary Cortelj-ou and George Dewey, jr. A3 the distinguished party was driven into Pennsylvania Avenue they were greeted with the most enthusiastic shouts by th'e crowd.

THE DEMONSTEATIVE THEONG. Streets Crowded With Thousands of Enthnslnstlc Spectators. The crowd today along 'the line of march was greater, if anything, than the one which filled the streets last night. Nearly every available foot of space on both sides of Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House to the Peace Monument, and thence to the east front of the Capitol was filled with enthusiastic citizens and visitors. On the north side of the street from end to end of the line of march, the crowd was so dense that It was Impossible for a single person to make headway.

The south side of the Avenue was not so densely crowded, but it was very difficult to make much progress even there. At every cross street the throng was especially large and people were crowded together as closely as they could stand for a distance of from twenty to thirty feet back from the ropes. Boxes, benches, chairs, improvised stands or anything which would raise its possessor above the surrounding throng was pressed Into service and thousands viewed the parade from such points of vantage. Every vehicle that could be placed within sight of the parade, was used as a stand with which to view the marching troops. There was scarcely a window facing the Avenue that was not filled with spectators.

Many were to be seen upon the roofs and. cornices of the business houses of the. main thoroughfare or at any point where a foothold could be secured, no matter how dangerous. The windows of the City Po3toffice bluld-lug were filled 'with, spectators. Au Enormons Crowd.

It Is estimated that more than 300,000 people witnessed either the parade or the presentation ceremonies at the Capitol. The throng was very similar to the ones that have assembled to witness inaugurations. Everyone seemed to be in the be3t of humor and there were but comparatively few unruly Individuals. The police had litle dlUculty In keeping the crowds back of the line. As the Admiral passed along the line It seemed as If everyone had provided a flag or handkerchief to wave.

From a distance of several blocks down Pennsylvania Avenue from the reviewing stand at Fifteenth Street the "waving of handkerchiefs and flag3 as the Admiral and President passed made an attractive scene. Those In the crowd who could see the demonstration quickly passed the word that Dewey was coming and there was a general move to get out handkerchiefs and flag3. As the carriage bearing the nation's guest approached, the multitude gave vent to it enthusiasm by loud cheers and shouts The music of the bands In the procession was a source of inspiration to many and where there was room some were to be seen dancing or performing a double-shuffle. As early as 8 o'clock the down-town streets began to fill with people and the numbers increased rapidly from that time en. All through the day the thoroughfares were crowded.

For an hour before the time set for the parade the more ad vantageous positions were taken. The street cars coming in from the outlying districts were filled to their utmost capacity, from an early morning hour until late this afternoon. Greeted nn Olympia Tnr. A remarkable incident occurred during the parade and as the Olympia sailors approached Ninth Street. Two little "girls sprang from under the ropes which held back the crowd on the sidewalk, and hand in hand, ran Into the roadway and greeted one of the jacktars on the line of march.

He broke step iminedlatelj-, and, taking one of the little girls In hl3 arms kissed her quickly and pressed the other to his bosom. They were his children, who could not restrain themselves when they saw their father for whom they had been looking all the morning. Satisfied with the greeting, they ran back to their mother. At the Peace Monument there was another jam. The crowd was verj dense as the procession wheeled south and proceeded around the Capitol grounds on its way to the middle East front of the building.

It was with great difficulty that the police restrained the people at several points along this narrow circuit. The people here were verj- demonstrative as Admiral Dewej-and the President passed. And They Cheered to the Echo. The scenes about the front of the Capitol and surrounding the presentation stand also reminded one of Inauguration Daj. The demonstrations on the arrival of Dewey were the most enthusiastic ever witnessed at this historic spot.

The cheers were loud and prolonged. The pandemonium of the patriotic people seemed to have no limit, and It lasted for fifteen or twenty minutes and completely drowned the music of the band. SCENES AND INCIDENTS. A jubilant j-oung man, after many unsuccessful attempts to view the Dewej-parade this morning from the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and Tenth Street northwest, purchased a- dozen small benches and boxes, costing a quarter of a dollar each, and made a high column of them, placing a small stool on top. He then slowly climbed to the apex, assisted by friends as hilarious as himself, and wa-s able to see over the, heads of the spectators.

He spasmodically waved his arms and cheered when the carriage containing Admiral Dewey and President McKinley passed. His actions caused the boxes to oscillate ominouslj-, and he lost his equilibrium. The boxes moved forward and and backward, and finally separated at the middle. The yound man looked hopelessly at the crowd, and then fell in the centre of the debris, sustaining abrasions about the face and hands. He was rescued from the wreckage by his companions, who aided him in arranging his torn clothes.

The crowd along the sidewalks this morning did not cheer with such indiscrimination as the one last night, apparently reserving its energj-, strength, and enthusiasm for Admiral Dewej-. the crew of the Olj-mpia, the President. Rear Admiral Schley, and General Miles. They received loud and prolonged ovations. Applnmled the Cadets.

The High School who were in the rear, received the next loudest ovation. As the. cadets passed the Treasury-Department thej- were repeatedly cheered by about COO girls, who wore the colors of the different schools, and the hurrahs did not cease until the boys had marched into Pennsylvania Avenue. As the parade swung round the base of the Capitol, another of strange appearance followed it. This procession consisted of spectators, who surged about the rear of the line in thousands and walked to the cast front of the Capitol to witness the sword presentation to Admiral Dewej-.

In this crowd was an aged negro, apparently insane, who just before Admiral Dewey arrived climbed on the platform where the Admiral was later presented with a sword, by Secretary Long, and commenced to harrangue the people. He spoke on the curse of war, and he referred particularly to the horrors cf naval battles. He discoursed for a few minutes when he was suddenly stopped by the appearance of a policeman. The preacher jumped from the improvised pulpit and hid under the immense platform. The officer, assisted by curious and sympathetic, citizens, searched a half hour for him, but the fugitive was not found.

THE NIGHT PAGEANT. Enthnsinntlc Multitudes Cheer for Admiral Dewey and Schley. Admiral Dewey's reception in Washington last night exceeded in enthusiasm, if possible, the one he received in New York. From the time he crossed the District line, about 6:30 o'clock until he retired to the privacy of the McLean residence at Connecticut Avenue and Streets, there was a booming of guns, shrieking of whistles, cheering of thousands of delighted citizens, and the sky was a glowing furnace of red fire, lighted up with the glare of rockets, bombs, and Roman candles. For probably the first time in his life Admiral Dewey retreated; he laughed good-naturedly as he retired, but the sight of the cheering, yelling crowd pf people, which broke through the police ropes and rolled In one tidal wave toward the reviewing stand was too much for the Admiral, and he left the stand and was escorted to the McLean residence.

The train bearing the Admiral and escort reached Washington from New York on time and was met at the Pennsylvania depot. Sixth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, by a crowd which blocked the streets and made it almost impossible for tho escort and carriage of the Admiral to proceed.

the railway station. The first distinguished' person to leave the train wa3 Rear Admiral Schley and as, soon as the crowd got sight of him they yelled "Schley! Schley! Schley!" until ha was obliged to doff his hat in recognition of the compliment. Before the cheera for Schley had closed. Admiral Dewey was seen to leave the private car Atalanta. and the Marine Band began to play, but a dozen bands, all in one, could not have been heard above the chcera of the crowd around the station.

The cheers were taken up by the crowds along Pennsylvania Avenue and swelled in volume until they sounded like the rear cf the surf on a rock-set coast. Chairman Moses escorted Admiral Dewey to the carriage of Mra. Washington McLean, which was drawn by four horaes, which with two outriders and two footmen, waited on Sixth Street, The Admiral wa3 kept busy bowing right and left in response to the cheera of the multitude, and when he reached the carriage he rose and removing his hat, bowed as tha people cheered loudly. As the carriage turned Into Pennsylvania Avenue from Sixth Street the crowd seemed to be seized with a frenzy to get near the Admiral, and It swept the police away from the ropes and poured like a mountain torrent into the Avenue, cheering like mad and waving hats and handkerchiefs, and almost stampeding the cavalry troop, which formed the erfort. Men, women, and children composed the crowd and they fought the police like demons.

Twice they were driven back and twice they overwhelmed the bluecoated guardians of the peace, but re-enforce ments came and they were able to temporarily check the crowd as the Admiral, still bowing and smiling, was whirled away up the Avenue, the horses going at a trot. A Contlnnont Ovation. The ride up the Avenue was a continuous ovation, the crowds along the sidewalk cheering wildly while the big buildings and the waving flag3 and bunting were lighted upon with the glow from red fire burned oa all sides, and the searchlights threw bright paths of light over the crowd. Tha reception at the White House, while quiet, was extremely cordial and the Admiral was made to feel that he wa3 welcome to the best In the Capital. Secretary Long waited for the Admiral In tha Ea3t Room and as he appeared the Secretary stepped forward and said: "I am very glad to see you." and waving his hand toward the line of naval officers drawn up on one side said: "Here is the Navy Department and you are at home." The Admiral smiled In reply to the salutation and shook hands wtb General Miles and a few of the naval officers, but there was no time for a greeting all around.

33 the President was awaiting the Admiral la his private apartments. Escorted by Secretarj Long, the Admiral went to greet Mr. McKinley. As the Admiral entered the private library of the Mansion the President stepped forward and said: "How-do you do. Admiral Dewej'? I am happy to see j-ou.

How is your health?" The Admiral replied that he was feeiing very well, and asked after the health of the President and Mrs. McKinley. Onl-Secretary Long was present at the reception of the Admiral by the President, and after the first greeting the Admiral, the President, and the Secretary walked into Mr. McKinley's parlor, where they spent a few minutes with Mrs. McKinley.

Greeted by the Cahlnet. From Mrs. McKinley's parlor the President, the Admiral, and Secretary Long passed into the Cabinet room where the Cabinet greeted Dewej'.

The appearance of the Admiral in the reviewing stand at five minutes past o'clock was the signal for loud cheering and the waving of hats and handkerchiefs by the thousands who swarmed around the stand. The Multitude. Admiral Dewej stood for a few minutes bowing In acknowledgment to the greeting of the multitude, but soon sat down as he was weary from the last few days' festivities. The bicycle division of the civi: pageant was the first to reach the reviewing stand, and the Admiral arose and bowed and waved his gold-laced hat to the cheering crowd.

He continued alternately sitting and standing as the parade passed, bat not over half the procession had gone by when the crowd broke through the police lines and surged up to the stand, yelling "Dewej-! "Dewey!" "Schley! Schley!" In vain the police struggled, but thej could not stem the tide of people which ro'Ied in waves right up to the reviewing stand -yelling for the Admiral. The Admiral waved his hand as if in protest of such a tumultuous outburst, but the crowd would not obey even Dewey, and still 'struggleJ and fought to enter the reviewing stand. The police were powerless and the Admiral in order that quiet might be restored left the stand with the President and proceeded to the McLean residence. THE LACK OF DECOEATIONS. Visitors nnd Others Remark on the Paucity of Display.

There have been many remarks made on the matter of the paucity of decorations for the Dewey celebration, by vlsitora and residents during the past two days. Notwithstanding the fact that the sub-committee on decorations labored zealously to have the town properly embel2l3hed for tha reception of so distinguished a personage, there were few conspicuous examples of artistic handiwork In those portions of the city where the pageants passed. Excepting the Government structures, the most artistically ornamented building was that of The Times, which, with its neat and striking arrangement of handsome American flags, was the subject of many complimentary remarks from both residents and strangers. It is only fair to say in this instance that The Times building decorations were the work of Lans-burgh Bros. TO CUIIE A COLD IX OSE DAT Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tabicts.
