Washington Is spreading Itself to give
Admiral Dewey the welcome to which he Is
so much entitled , and when he reaches here
the first week In October the event will mark
his real home-comlug to the Amerl an p3 pie.
At that time he will bo presented with the
magnificent Jeweled sword voted him by con
gress , and this fact nlono will make the re
ception national In Its character. The date
of welcome cannot be definitely determined
until the length of the New York celebration
. Is known , but no matter what dat ° Is
, decided upon , the affair will be a grand and
Imposing one. On the night following the
presentation of the sword there will be a
grand parade and a public reception at the
Whlto House , the admiral having slgn'fled
his willingness to head the home-coming pro
cession. Arrangements are perfecting for
Illuminating the city on a larger and mere
expensive scale than ever before attempted
on any occasion , and the thousands of visit
ors who will be present can confidently rx-
pect a scene of patriotism and beauty which
will be remembered for genera'Ions It Is
gratifying to note that the managers ot the
Baltimore & Ohio and Pennsy vanla rail
roads are sparing neither pains nor oxpemo
to give visitors the very best s nice p-sslvle ,
giving not ouly greatly reduced rates for the
occasion , but putting on special trains and
schedules which will Insure safe and con
venient travel. The several working com
mittees from the reception managtinent have
received assurances from both roads that
nothing will be left undone on their part to
Insure to visitors speedy travel , comfort and
| convenience , and the splend'dly managed
systems will carry out their promises.
Much Interest Is manifest In the ParU Ex
position , and already the Department of
Agriculture has commenced the work ot
packing such exhibits ris have been rcce vod
by manufacturers or the reprcs'ntatlves cf
the department have collected since beg'n-
nlug their work. The Paris Exposition wl 1
open In April of next year and close Novem
ber 6. The grounds cover an area of 3315
acres , abnut one-half that occupied by the
Columbian Exposition at Chicago , and not
much larger than those of the Transmlssla-
slppl at Omaha last year.
A circular letter Issued by the represent
ative states "that , In view of the fact that
the space available at Paris for raw mate
rial and manufactured products of agricul
ture and the animal Industry Is exceedingly
limited , the exhibit must bo collective. "
This means that no Individual space will
bo allotted to an individual grower or
manufacturer , corporation or association ,
though all will be Invited to co-operate ,
the fullest credit to bo given for contri
butions , even to samples that may bo con
tributed by farmers. An Inquiry made at
the department the other day , as to what
Nebraska was doing to bo represented ,
elicited the Information that as yet the
Antelope state had no especial apace or
exhibit , and that the great agricultural rc-
eourcea and Immense packing Interests
would have no especial place assigned
other than such a general collection as
the agent now In the state might secure
or that found In the collective exhibit.
Asked as to the display of the animal In
dustry , the product of the packers , and
The Bee correspondent was Informed that
the whole exhibit would have to bo con
densed Into a space about equal to the
rectai.gular refrigerator display made by
the Hammond Packing company at Omaha
last jear.
It will therefore be seen how Important
It la that Nebraska producers Immediately
take hold and assist In securing the very
best and at the same time the jnost Im
portant articles that will represent the
resources of the great corn and cattle belt.
Notwithstanding the necessity for con
densation , under the circumstances , the
commission has provided for a system o }
labeling that will give th ° name and ad
dress of the contributor , or exhibitor , and
the locality from whence the specimen ar
rived will always appear. In the case of
special , state or association exhibits , spe
cial descriptive placards , neatly framed ,
will bo conspicuously displayed. In order
that the contributors shall derive the
fullest benefit.
The commission appointed by the United
SUites will construct the necessary caeei
for the display of the exhibits of agricul
ture , horticulture and food products ; raw
products rtqulrlng special preparation ,
such as cereals , will bo sent to Washing
ton to bo selected and prepared. ThU pait
of the work , Including shipments to Paris ,
will bo at the expense of the government.
There secme no doubt but that one of
the nine commissioners will be. appointed
from Nebraska ; In fact , the decision hav
ing already been made , and the appoint
ment will no doubt be announced /shortly.

Two or three e\rnls hn\e ocruned since
that discussion to strengthen thti focllim
Plrst , there was a dec'sloii ndvelso to
Colombia In the Ceruttl cnso nnd ns Presi

th os. Commander Todd of the Wilming
ton found that there were no chins of
thcso vast rivers nnd consequently was
obliged to take soundings as ho proceed ! d
Incidentally he was enabled to make ruuqn
running charts of the rlveru that mny bo

I lions were , however , misinterpreted by
some of the natives , though In ihe end
Captain Todd la bellaved to have perfectly

rectitude of his purposes.
H Is said at the department ( hat thcrp la
not the slightest foundation for the story
that secret ngcnta of either ihe State or
Navy department have been sent into Soutli
America , and It Is quite certain that Ihcro
have never been any negotiations with
Bolivia respecting the acquisition by the
United Statce of lands ! n the Interior of
South America.
As for the visit to that continent of

CHEYENNE , Wvo , Sept. 11. ( Special
Telegram. ) Manila "Freedom , " copies of
which were received here today , contains a
1 long editorial accusing Captain John
O'Brien , Company F , Wyoming volunteers ,
of having ruined a fair young Mestizos wo
man. The story recites that O'Brien met
this young woman , who Is one of the hand-
1 somost natives in the Island , over nine
' month ? ago. U Is alleged that the grizzled
veteran of four wars fell In love with the
l beauty and In eplto of the fact that ho had
a wife and family living at Douglas , Wyo. ,
marrlod her and lived with her during the
Btay In the Island. When the Wyoming
regiment boarded the transport Grant , the
fair Mestizo woman was left behind ,
O'Brien not even bidding goodbjc. While
the Grant was in anchorage in the harbor
and jubt prior to its netting sail for San
Fraucisoo , the native woman went out to
the transport In a canoebut she wasdenlcd
the privilege of going on board.
Freedom Insists that the officer should bo
punished.
O'Brien's friends oay there must be a
mistake somewhere , for they do not be
lieve that the captain would be guilty of
such acts as are charged to him by the
Manila paper. O'Brien Is past CO years of
ago.
