N*w Yokk Citv (Special).?Iq the van of the most magnificent marine pageant that ever swept the waters of on American har' . bor, Admiral George Dewey steamed Friday In his renowned Olympla, while mil" lions of his countrymen lined the historic hores and cheered until their throats were jore fo^ the sailor man from Vermont. New York City has never witnessed before anything approaching this wonderful, remarkable demonstration. The Columbian naval parade, the dedication of Grant's Tomb rOTINO CDP PBESESTED TO AOMIItA.Ii DEWEY ET THE CITY OF NEW YOBK. and the reception of the North Atlantic Squadron last fall, all pale before this gigantic ovation to the sailor who, in a slDgle morning destroyed an enemy's fleet without the loss of a man or a ship. It is not beyond the mark to say that 3,000,000 people viewed the pageant from ashore, and that a quarter of a million were afloat. For a marine show there could not have teen finer weather. The day dawned bright, and a brisk breeze blew all day long. Clouds scurried over the sky, and one of these brought a slight shower, just after the parade started, and as Admlal Dewey's flagship swopt up past the Battery a brilliant rainbow spanned the North River from shore to shore. Thousands daw the refulgent spectacle In the sky, deInnt ? on.l ruiMnnrl that the Admiral was sailing to the great review lUerally beneath a rainbow of promise. Two o'clock was the time set for the start, but by eleven the great fleet of excursion boats had dropped away from North and East River piers, and were collected around the grim warships that rode at anohor off Tompkinsville. Aboard the Olympla it had been a busy morning. Quite6arly the city representatives, beaded by Mayor Van Wyck, journeyed to Tompkinsville on the Sandy Hook, and the official call was made on the Admiral. Mayor Van Wyck stepped aboard the war essel just as f-lx bells wore sounding. It was 11 o'clock. The Admiral grasped the Mayor's hand with both of his. After leaving the qunrter deck the party, reinforced by Captain Lumherton, Lieutenant Brumby, Ensign Caldwoll and other officers of tne Olympla, went to the Admiral's cauio. The Admiral nervously twisted a handkerchief in his hand as the Mayor spoke: "Admiral Dewey, with pleasure, and by direction of the city of New York, I meet you at her magnificent gateway, to extend to you, in her name and of her million visitors, lending citizens of forty-flvo ltates, representing almost every hamlet in the nation, a most cordial welcome, congratulating you upon being restored to fumily aud home.

ID NATION'S HERO. dened by your safe return from th? moat romarkable voyage of history, so farreacbing in its results that the clearest Riiud cannot yet penetrate to their end, It has already softened the voices of other nations in speaklug of ours; changed permanently the map of the world; enlarged the field of American pride and completed the circle of empire in its westward course, Your courage, still and wisdom, exhibited in a single naval engagement of a few hours, brought victory to your country's arm3, and then you dealt with your coun^ try's new relations to the world with th< judgment of a trained diplomat. "By common consent you have been de clared warrior and statesman, one whe wears the military uniform until the enemj surrenders, and then dons the lmbit of th< | diplomat. The greatest reception awaiti !?-3i THE DEWEY T you that was ever tendered military 01 civil liero. Such an outpouring of the people was never dreamed of before. Never has the heart of America turned with such perfect accord and trusting confidence to one of her sons as it does to you. I place at your disposnlthe freedom and unlimited . hospitality of the city of New York." The Admiral replied to the Mayor: "Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen: Of course it would be needless for me to atlompt to make a speech, but my heart appreciates all that you have said. How it is that you have overrated my work so much I cannot understand. It Is beyond anything I can conceive of why there should be such an uprising of the country. I simply did what any other naval officer in the service would have done, I believe." After the Mayor had been aboard the flagship about twenty minutes he and his party, with Admiral Dewey, took the Admiral's launch ttnd steamed over to the Sandy Hook. The Admiral boarded the Sandy Hook at 11.20 a. m., and when he returned to the flagship the great fleet of excursion boats let their sirens and steam whistles loose. Immediately after Admiral Dewey returned from the Sandy Hook, the wigwagger on the bridge signaled the fleet to prepare to get under way. An old quartermaster hurried a small dark roll of bunting to the main, hand over fist. It hung there while the bugle sounded the cull to quarters, and the marines mustered aft. Then, just as the signal to weigh anchor was given, a pull on the halyards opened the roll and spread the four-starred flag, which Farragut flew as he ran the fort In New Orleans. It was the flag which was presented to Admiral Dewey. As It broke, sailors at their station and the marines on the quarter deck, greeted it with enthusiastic cheering 4 lift. This was the order of the leading vessels in the parade: Police boat Patrol. FIreboats New Yorker and Van "W.vck. Olympia, protected cruiser, flagship of Admiral Dewey. Sandy Hook, carrying the Mayor and other city officials. New York, armored cruiser, flagship of Rear-Admiral Sampson. Indiana, battleship, flrst-class. Massachusetts, battleship, flrst-cluss, Texas, battleship, second-class. Brooklyn, armored cruiser. Torpedo boats Porter and Dupont. Marietta, gunbout. Lancaster, gunnery ship, full rigged. Scorpion, auxiliary cruiser. Chicago, protected cruiser, flagship of Rear-Admiral Howlson. Th? tnmedn boats Ericsson. Winalow and Cashing. Revenue cutters Manning, Algonquin Gresham, Windom and Onondaga. Transports Sedgwick, McPherson and McClollan; Missouri, hospital ship. Steamer Monmouth flying flag of the State of New York and having on board representatives of the Naval MUitia of New York. The Monmouth was followed by other vessels of the Naval Militia. General Slocum and Gleu Island having on board the General Committee of Citlsens. After this came the yachts, then the merchant vessels and la9t the smaller craft. It Is estimated that there were over a thousand ships in the parade. The ships s.owly sailed up the Hudson, the entire fleet being grouped In a most picturesque position. Both shores were lined with dense masses of people, and saluting batteries were on nearly every * ? A fha whart eua. ateum wmaun uuuou .v din. but above all came the tremendous crashing music of tbe cheers. Admiral Dewey never left Ills place on the bridge, but paced slowly across and back, raising bis bat as the cannon boomed In his honor. As tbe tomb of General Grant, on Riverside Drive, was reached the fleet paid its tribute to tbe memory of the warrior with a national salute of twenty-one roaring guns. Tbe fleet then anchorod and reviewed the almost eodles3 procession of craft that Bteamed past, all so burdened with humanity that they looked as If they would "turn turtle" before they got back to their piers. Toward the end the parade became disorganized, and it took hours for the heterogenous flotilla to get by. There was a dazzling illumination at night of the harbor, the city and the shores of the Hudson, the East River aud New York Bay. The UlumluatioQ was carried out on a scale which, It Is said, had never previously been attempted In thi3 country. As Admiral Dewoy conquered afloat on Tragedy of a Ride.

It was a wonderful duy in many senses of the word. The Admiral's day began with "colors." That is to say, he was up with the sun. His old habit of being at place3 sooner than he is looked for continued to arouse comment. He was at the Battery ahead of time. Escorted by Squadron A he arrived at the City Hall, where he was expected at nine o'clock, just twenty minutes ahead of time. Here he received the city's live thousand dollar gold loving cup. At the cup presentation, at which Mayor Y?n Wyck made a dignified and Impressive spoech, the Admiral's modesty again camo prominently to notice. He accepted the cup in a volco that shook with emotion, and turning to his Manila captains? /jr. RIUMPHAL ARCH. Wildes, Cogblan, Dyer, Lamberton. Walk, or and Wood?who were grouped about him, said with a wave of li<9 hand: i "These are the men that did It. Without them I could not have done what I did." i A few moments after the Admiral's party had left the City Hall over two thousand school children marched in front of the reviewing stand in a column of fours, all dressed in patriotic colors and all carrying flags. They had come too late, but they were not to be deprived of an opportunity to 9lng their welcoming songs. They climbed into the big empty stands and for twenty minutes filled the air with melody. When the Admiral had received the loving cup he was esoorted to the foot of Warren street, where the steamer Sandy Hook was waiting to carry bim and his party to the starting point of the narade, near Grant's Tomb. Upon Admiral Dewey's arrival at uraui ? xuuiu ku?a ??ao a i'iam of trumpets, and la a moment a hundred bands wer? playing "Hall to the Chief," hut so tremendous was the cheering that only once In a while could the air he defined. It was exactly 11.20 o'oloclc when tba grand parade started. At its head marched a battalion of 250 sailors and marines from the Olympla. In the roar of their column they carried along one of the rapid-fire guns from the fighting tops of ono mast. It was dragged by twenty-four sailors, after the wanner of the old volunteer fire brigade. Then came In the line the blueclad jackles that fought at Santiago and following them the warriors of the shore from East and West, North and Soutb. More than thirty-Qve thousand men were In the procession. Fifteen 8tates sent their sturdy sons to meet the great Admiral. and the Qovernors of a dozen of these led their men. It was a grand sight at any point, and the unarmed veterans that brought up the rear reoe^ved almost as muoh of an ovation as did the lighting sailors at the head of the line. The Admiral's progress from the tomb of Qrant to the reviewing staud was literally one of glorious triumph. He rode near the head of the procession with Mayor Van Wyck. The cheers with which he was greeted made him ride bareheaded most of the way. He was visibly affected. | Now and then his lips twitched convulsively and occasionally he wiped his eyes. Behind Dewey in carriages camo his fighting captains of May 1, 1898, and then bis staff. After them camo Bear-Admirnl Sampson and his staff, the captains of the North Atlantic Squadron. Then lteiir-Admlral Howlsou and his staff, followed by a general collection of guests, among whom were Major-General Miles and Rear-Admiral Schley. To Roar-Admiral Sampson, who looked 111 and careworn, a warm reception was given, but the ovation tendered to RearAdmlral Schley was continuous, warm and hearty. Just before the procession turned Into Fifth avenue and along tho greou-terraced edge of Central Park was the wonderful memorial. On a stand ruuy zou ieei ioug letters of living color read: "Welcome Dewey," aud close alongside was a national banner wonderfully wrought. It was all made up of pupils of the public schools, so attired and grouped that the letters of the welcome inscription were perfect and the stripes, stars and field of the banner swayed like a grand enslgu In a homeward breeze. To this living picture the Admiral bowed again and again, and his eyes glistened when the child voices blended in sweet harmony and welcomed the nation's quests with a beautiful rendition of "See The Conquering Hero Comes!" The reviewing stund was a thing of beauty, for besides the lavish decorations of bunting nature's fairest domain had been invaded and despoiled of 20,000 bride roses that the nation's most famous man might receive fitting incense as he reviewed the marching men. The day was full of incident and evory incident was pregnant with houors for Dewey. After he had ridden for live raile3 at the heud of the greatest land parade New York City has ever seen aud had stood for hours watching the brilliant procession of soldiers and sailors until the last man had passed beneuth the Arch of Triumph he turned to Mayor Van Wyck and said: "This is too much for one man. My peonia are elvlnar me more honor than I de serve." Ho was dazed at the magnitude of the celebration in his honor. The naval parade had prepared him to expect a grand demonstration, but this reception on shore, when all the olty (oik and visitors could Ret close enough to him to see every exL pression of his face and bear his voice and Rubbed by Eight Masked Men. The residence of George Meade, a wealthy farmer near Walts, In Scioto County, Ohio, was entered a few days ago by a party of eight masked men, who overpowered Mr. Meade, Mrs. Gallagher, his sister: George Gallagher, a nephow; John Brookor, hired mauj and a servant Rlrl, and tied them to their beds. You tic; Gallagher attempted to escape and was al most beaten to death with bludgeons. The i srang wrecked the Interior of the house, in , their hunt for money, and succeeded in , lecurlng $600. The servant girl at last , succceded In releasing herself and gave the alarm. Cycling Notes.

In this examination he says: "By the erms of the plaintiff's contract he expressy ratified and acceptod the principles and aetbods wblch were from time to time idopted by the defendant for the dlstrrouJon of suoh surplus.

It was found tc be the so-called North Pole buoy whlob Andree had arranged to drop If ho succeeded in passing the pole. j :?! On the afternoon of Sunday, July 11,1897. ! the balloon Ornen (Eagle) left tlie port of VIego, Spltzbergen, carrying in its ca* Andree and two companions, Strlndbertf I and Fraenkel, on its journey in quest ol the North Pole. The discovery of thfl \ aeronaut's ,fNortli Pole" buoy may mean that a oatastrophy overtook the expedition a few hundred miles from its starting point. Tliis seems more likely than the assumption that the llndlng of the buoy in dlcates tnac Anuree uroppea u irotn lac balloon after reaching the pole. The assumption that Andree dropped this buoy just where he had planned tc , j drop it presupposes that there is an open sea at the North Polo, with a strong cur- /< rent passing through it to the north o> Scandinavia.
