Admiral George Dewey arrived off Sandy Hook at dawn ami the Olympla Is now an- choied in American waters in the light J ) of Sandy Hook. The first shout of welcome was from the pilots and crew of pilot boat No. 7 , fifteen miles south of the Hook light- ship. It happened to be Pilot John Peterson's turn , and at 5:50 a. m. he was put aboard the Olympia and brought it around the Hook and into the lower bay. The marine observers along the coast had sighted the Olympia in the first light of the morning. The shor batteries of Fort Hancock , manned by gunners called from breakfast , let loose seventeen guns. The flagship replied with twenty-one and let go its anchor not far from where the cup challenger Shamrock is moored. The admiral was in his own country 4 again after twenty-three months' ab sence. He had returned "great with the arduous greatness of things done , " and his excellency seemed to realize it. The pilot brought aboard the Sunday papers and a reporter of the Associated Press was received by the admiral in a cabin littered with the illustrated Dewey editions , which , together made hundreds of pages in black and white and in colors , all concerning the great admiral and the preparations made to receive him. "It almost saddens me , " he said , "to see what my people are doing for me. The pride and gratification is immense and I cannot express the appreciation , / , I feel. I did not know , I did not really perceive until this moment the splen did welcome that iny countrymen are giving me. The governors of many states are coming to seejne and troops from Florida , Georgia and other far away states are on tneir way to take part in receiving me. " The admiral stroked the head of a tawny-haired dog , the "Chow" do ? of a Chinese breed tnat appears in the il \i \ J lustrated interviews of the admiral. "Bob here , " he said , "is not well. He yearns to be ashore. He is sick to get fl. little grass and to scamper around. 1 feel a good deal that way myself. I am mighty glad to get home. It is not good for a man any more than a dog to live on board ship for twenty-three months. " OUTLINED. To I.VIIYO October 4 for { ialfsbur ; ? . Cht- c-iKoaiitl St. Paul WASHINGTON , D.

NEW YORK , Sept. 27. A special to the Traes from Washington says : Coincident with the near approach of Admiral Dewey the rumors about Gen eral Otis' recall have been revived. Tt is again reported that his recall has actually been decided upon. There has also been a rumor lately that Gen- eial Brooke was to leave Cuba shortly , and as it is now said that a major general is to be sent to the Philippines there ? is some disposition to regard that as General Brooke's future berth. The basis for all mis gossip seems to be the report that Admiral Dewey has a poor opinion of General Otis. ADMIRAL CEWEY KONOREP. Olyniplu .Steams Up tlio Buy Amid IMaudltH of Mia 1'c'oplo.

There ccems to be a very general misunder standing regarding the correct inter pretation of the election law in respect to the filing of certificates of nomina tion and statements of expense. Can didates have until twenty-five days be fore election to file certificates of nom ination , but their expense statements1 must be on file within ten days after the convention. According to the gen eral understanding of the law it is not necessary for judicial candidates to flln certificates with the secretary of state. The law In this respect provides that all persons nominated for any judicial cr state office by a convention repre senting a district larger than a county shall file certificates with the secretary of state , except as otherwise provided. Another section provides that judicial candidates must file certificates with the county clerks and that they may file them with the secretary of state. So far only the Fourth .district judicial candidates have fileu certificates. Itiirlingtoii I > ( ( lot EERTRAND , Neb. , Oct. 2.
