The skippers turned loose their whistles and sirens and everything that could muka a noise In the harbor joined. Farther thau ears could bear the steam Jets of the whistles on craft lying at the Battery nnd up the North and East rivers could bo seen as they roared their welcome. It was such a soul-maddening concert of steam whistles as American steamboat men are famous for. In a few moments the sharp rnttlo of the anchor chain was heard as the Olympla's anchor catted from Its bed Into the water. Then ca < no the admirals and captains from all the ships trooping In their swift water carriages to pay tholr respects to the na tion's hero.

Ho occasionally turned and smiled and bowed to the noisy escort. The Olyimpla was very state as It came on , itho whlto hull with high free board seemed frail , but the ugly looking guns frowning from sponson and turret showed where laid the power that had destroyed Spain's sea power on the other sldo of the world. The Olympla's superstructure is all painted whlto and cnly the yellow stacks nnd rod- mouthed funncJa gave a touch of color to the oncoming cruiser. The admiral's Hag stood out jauntily at the mainmast and the national colors fluttered over the taffrall. Fire Admiral's Haliite. The freights ot both Wadsworth and Ham ilton wcro thronged with spectators as the cruiser approached the narrows. Suddenly a tongue of red flame leaped from the granite sldo of Fort Wadsworth and like the recoil came a streak of fire from tbo granite wall on the opplslto sldo. Then alternately from each came the deafening roar of an admiral's salute of seventeen guns. Slowly and majestically the Olympla passed the smoke-wreathed forts , answering itho salute gun for gun , until it became so enveloped Jn Its own smoke tiat it seemed it might have broken Its steam chest. Then It passed through the emoko curtain and etood revealed before the admiring gaze of the whole Atlantic Equadron , waiting at anchor of Torapklnsvllle to receive it. Every bit of b'rasS And gllt'bn 'every ship of the receiving equudron had been burnished , every spot en the white hulls painted , and every 'inarlnonnd sailor kpew he was expected to , . Icqk hla. best. Along the railing of. the ships the jackles stood elbow to elbow and oil were the marines , draw up to salute. A few of { too tars ran up to the lighting top. Every cflloer had donned his most showy uniform and. gathered in the waist of the ships pa the Olympla 'approached. From the New York barked the signal gun , a alx- poundcr 'in ilia starboard bow and 1m- ' * ' medlitoly'overy'enlp ln the squadron belched forth" flames and srripko.

Some of the visitors had flowers for the admiral and more goo'd things for the crew. One man presented the crew with a row-boat of watermelons. As soon as Admiral Dewey could detach himself from those who were so eager to see him ho returned the official visits which the etiquette of the occasion required. He first called upon Hear Admiral Sampson , whosa ship lay next to his , and then upon Hear Ad miral Howlson nt the other end ot the line. I For this ceremony the admiral himself ] j donned the full uniform of his rank. There I was a pretty ceremony as ho went aboard , I the New York and the Chicago , and as the little launch in which he sat passed each ship of the squadron the sides were manned , the drums wore rolled , the bugles blown and the officers at the waist saluted. Upon the return of the launch to the Olympic the jackstaff from which his flag fluttered was taken down by Admiral Duwey's orders and these formal ceremonies were thus omitted , anotheAproof of the ad miral's innate modesty. ? ben there were other official visits by officers of the fleet and these continued with hardly an Inter ruption for two hours. Ono of the admiral's flrst acts TVOS to dispatch Flag Lieutenant Brumby with his compliments to the mayor of New York , to apprise him officially of the admiral's arrival. Hear Admiral Howison's appearance In the harbor will In nowise Interefere with the program for Friday. It will be carried out as arranged , except that his flagship , If It should Join the parade , would follow the Olympla Instead of Rear Admiral Samp son's flagship New York. But it Is not certain that Admiral Howison will take part. Ho Is reported to have said this afternoon that he nnd his crew are worn out after their long journey nnd preferred to rest and clean up their travel-stained ship. If he should ride In the land parade Saturday , being Sampson's senior , ho will precede the commander of the North Atlantic squadron. At sunset the ensign came fluttering down from all the ships , the crews and of ficers faced the flag and the national air sounded over the -water. The twilight deep ened and strings of signal lights twinkled on the flagship as orders were sent dancing down the line. The fleet lay all shining in light. The excursion boats with their crowds of sightseers continued to circle about the Olympla until the bugle sounded taps and the lights wont out. I'UOCJHAM OP THE NAVAIj PARADE.

NEW YORK , Sept. 27 Viewed from the shore skirting their Staten Island or Bay Hldge , the narrow e took on the appearance tonight of a big * ( water fete , a Venetian carnival. What might have been taken for a great canal was formed 'by revenue cut ters and warships beginning -with the Olympia at St. George and ending with the Onondago , lying off Quarantine. Between this line of 'beautifully ' lighted warships and tbo Stated Island shore , darted bril liantly IllumlnatM launches carrying pret tily gowned women nnd occasionally a party of nivval officers resplendent In gold- braided dress uniforms. The Goarchllghts of the ships chased many ot those elusive water greyhound * as ( hey scurried hither nnd thither la and out among the warshfpa , stopping nt the gangway of ono ship nnd then hurrying to another , the ladUs begging at each to bo allowed 'to go pn 'board ' end laughingly pro testing when the obdurate officers of the watch talked of .Iron . naval rules , which forbade - bade visitors on the ship after 4 o'clock , The Olympla , was ths center ot attraction. The varl-colorcd lights tucd for signaling were 'kept ' constantly flashing from ship to ship , and At etatod 'Intervals ' a long suc cession of colored lights would flash out llko a BUddcn display of (1 ( reworks when a number of vessels -would simultaneously eend messages to the guardshlp. The most unique Illumination along the shores of the harbor was the effective dis play at quarantine boarding station above the narrows. It consisted ot the words "Welcome Homo" In white electric lights with a 'bordor ' ot red , whlto nnd blue lights and nn Immense American flag fourteen Tect by twenty-five ifeot , sot In an Illumi nated frame cf hundreds of wlflto electric bulbs. This display 'was ' visible all over the bay and attracted the attention of nil the ships , 'besldo ' AH Immense concourse ot Statcn Island visitors who Invaded the quarantine grounds. Another unique Illumination 'was ' placed on the slope overlooking Iho quarantine lock and consisted of a string of alternate American flags and pcnanta suspended from a center polo bearing three large arc lights covered with rod , white and blue globes. Very llttlo red fire ivns burned to night , the coast residents preferring to wait until Friday night , when the general Illumination of the const will take place.

There was trouble at the Auditorium Wednesday night Just before the concert by the Bellstedt band. Fred Cumralngs , who has the concession of seating the big show , finding that the Plaza bad been deserted and that ho was unable to sell hla reserved seats there , thought he would fence In the Audi torium and sell tickets. He came in clash with Jay Burns , who said the thing could not bo done. Mr. Cummlngs Insisted and put a ticket seller at ono of the doors and locked all the rest. Mr. Burns called for a guard and had S. A.A Philpot , Jr. , the ticket seller , arrested upon the charge of obtaining money under fa lee pretenses. This ended the con troversy and the people were allowed to go in free. There seems to bo some misunder standing about the seating privileges that the executive committee must straighten out later on.

Tlicro will bo no Interference with the Hawaiian supreme court , It Is said , oxccpt tlio IBSUO la forced upon the administration nnd In view of the approach of the next session of congress , It Is deemed well to let the whole matter remain for treatment by 'the legis lative branch. Mr. Gear's efforts were Induced'largely by n deslro to secure relief for n largo number of coollo 'laborers ' who are being kept In a state akin to slavery , according to the at torney. There Is Incidentally Involved , however , a much graver question , namely the lives of several persons under sentence of death pro nounced by Hawaiian tribunals. Under the law of the Islands a majority of a court Is competent to find n sentence of death. This la In conflict with the constitution Itself , In the opinion of the attorney. If the administration Is moved to interfere at nil It will bo solely from consideration of these people and It Is possible that the Issue , which It Is regarding as highly essential to avert , can bo escaped by Inducing President Dole to reprieve the criminals for a period of tlmo sufficient to carry them along until congress prescribes a regular system of gov ernment.

Each of these nations purchased -much more from Germany than did the United States. The total German foreign trade amounted to $1,295,554,860 In Imports and $954,499,000 in exports. The report , speaking of Germany's econo mic condition , says that some branches of trade are working only half time for lack of raw material. There has been a great boom in Iron and coal , principally duo to large government contracts for railways and wages have advanced considerably. It is .predicted . , however , that as soon as these government contracts ara filled a re action will set in. The report mentioned the effect of American competition on the Ger man chemical industries necessitating the establishment of branch factories In America by many largo German firms In order to hold their business. The growing competition of American textiles is also the cause of con cern to German manufacturers. FOlt "WESTERN VETERANS. Survivors of the Civil War Remem bered liy the General Government.
