NEW YORK , Sept. 27. 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. "

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.

NEW YORK , Sep : . Z3. Through
, 'rollcking whitecans tlio Olympla
moved majestically up the lower bay
today and passed through the pictur
esque strait guarded by Forts Wads-
worth and Hamilton , amid the boom
ing of great guns , and there inside
the city gates Admiral Dewey and his
gallant tars received the glorious ,
thunderous welcome of the steel-
walled men-of-war , as the ship glided
up to its position at the head of the
column , there to remain until the
great naval pageant starts on Friday.
Never before perhaps , did a trium
phant warrior returning from a vic
tor louts campaign receive a more thun
derous welcome. Though thousands
upon thousands witnessed it from
shore , and the anchorage at Tomklns-
ville , where the fleet lay , fairly
swarmed with tugs , yachts and steam
ers and every sort of harbor craft ,
all jet black with wild cheering , ex
ulting people and the towering whlto
walls of the city beyond were brave
with a million of welcoming flags , to
day's greeting to Dewey was the greet
ing of his comrades of the navy , and
it was eminently fitting that his com
rades in arms should have the first
chance at him whom the millions are
waiting to honor.
Very early in the morning , before
Dewey left his anchorage inside Sandy
Hook , Rear Admiral Howiaon , com
mander of the South Atlantic squad
ron , aboard the Chicago , which ar
rived outside last night , travel-stained
and weather-beaten , after Its journey
of 21.000 miles around South Africa
foamed in past the Hook anxious to
join the North Atlantic squadron In
receiving Admiral Dewey.
Dcwey's flagship was no sooner rec
ognized than preparations were made
to give the loudest welcome the ship
could give. The guns were manned ,
the marine guards were paraded and
seventeen guns were loosened in honor
of Dewey.

of General Mamamillio , the Spanish
officer who is settling Spain's military
affairs in the Philippine islands , to
send a vessel under the Spanish flag

insurgent ports , as stipulated by the
Filipinos , on the ground ttat the ports

would be unlawful , and because they
declined to accept the Filipinos' dec

an American vessel. The Spanish
committee , herefore , will return to the
insurgent lines and endeavor to effect
an arrangement for the delivery of

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.

Timed tint Attack * Alf.ilfn.
LINCOLN , Neb. , Sept. 2D. There haa
recently appeared in large numbers in
Nebraska an insect which , although
known some time to exiot in the atate ,
has not until this year become alarm

it prefers alfalfa as food" to any of the
crops which are commonly grown , not
withstanding this plant has been wide
ly recommended as one practically ex
empt from injury from this class of
pests. The insect has been known to
go twenty rods around a wheat field
to reach one of alfalfa , and it has al
ready been named "the alfalfa worm"
by those whose crops have suffered
from it.
Specimens which render the identi
fication positive have been received at
the experiment station of the univer
sity from Johnson , Uage , Nemaha , Sa
line , Fillmore , Douglas , Washington
and Dodge counties. Specimens have
also been found in Boyd county , in the
northern part of the state , and In Dawson -
son county , in the western portion ,
making its extent over the state quite
wide. The greatest damage haa re
sulted in Johnson county , Avhere many
entire flclds of alfalfa have suffered
the loss of the third cutting. Many
beet fields Avere attacked , as were also
those of corn , kafir corn , wheat , oats
and cabbage , and pasture grass and

injured or entirely destroyed.

LINCOLN , Neb. , Sept. 30. Tlio dis
trict clerk , on application from Attor
ney General Smyth , handed the sheriff
an execution on the judgment In the
Hartley bond case for him to servo
upon the Lancaster county bondsmen.
The amount of the execution is $ ( 1G.-

Brown , N. S. Ilarwood and John H.
Ames. Mrs. Fitzgerald was released
from liability in the trial court an 1
her name is not included. Similar
executions are to be served in each
county where the bondsmen live or
where property of bondsmen la situ
ated. An execution is said to have
been served in Dctiglas county some
time ago , but no reports have beer
received to indicate that property ha
been actually levied upon. Attornov
General Smyth recently said in an In
terview that he favored a compromise
between the legislature and the bonds
men in case the judgment is sustained.
This has given rise to the belief that
no property ot the bondsmen will be
taken until the supreme court passes
on the case filed yesterday by thu
bondsmen. Several of the bondsmer
are reported to be execution proof.
