Ship after ship took Its turn In doing
lunor to the admiral as th ? Olympla swept
grandly up the llue'o't floating fortresses and.
tho.hcod _ of sentiment welled up within their
hearts. Admiral Dewey , from the bridge , ac
knowledged each salute with a wave of his
'
cap. Ho nlono or all the a Ulcers of tlio licet ,
was In fatlgup uniform ' ) . As the Qlympla
swept by the , New' York , thelast , shlj In
thocolumn. the full.marine band aboard the
Olympla played Sousa''s "El Capltan" march
and tlio spectators on the oxcuslon float
cheered. 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. First , Hear Admiral Howlson

Admiral Dewey wds still In fatlguo uni
form when ho received his old classmate at
the gangway , There was a cordial smllo
and a hearty handshake , with a "How are
you , Howlson ? " that thrilled the spectators.
( >
The official visit to the Olympla lasted for , 1
over an hour. Meantime scores cf rowboats -
boats , tugs , launches and yachts formed
about It , many with relatives or sweethearts
f i
or friends of those aboard , Almost the first
to make the gangway was the Narkcet , with
Admiral Dewey's relatives , The party was
given n warm greeting and taken to the
cabin. Ono officer was so overjoyed at tbo
eight of the wife he had uot seen for twenty.

a group of officers. 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. Louder and louder
thundered the guns a ? the Olympla came on.
It replied , ' wlUi , thp itihlrteen guns to which
Rear , Adra'jral Howison's rank entitled. On
board. ] th'eOlympla tlio sides were" manned
' '
nn .th'e 'ban4 and' marine guard , were pa-

'
radod. , . ,
'
As' the Olympla Came ubreoet of the Chicago
cage the guard presented arms. The drums
gave/ / four ruffllcs , the trumpets four flour
ished and the band played "Honte , Sweet
Home , " dwelling with swelling cadenza upon
three months that he rushed down the gang
way and kissed her In the presence of 10,000
people. 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.

elent to hntUfr SlBlitnoerii.
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.

The salute was returned by the Chlcaco
and was a signal for a general demonstra
tion along tha shore. Cannons were fired
and small arms discharged , while the ferry
bouts and railroad engines started a deafen
ing chorus of whistles.

Trn'-ilile nt the Auditorium.
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.

Hawaiian attorney who cnmo to Washington
to petition the president to cause the Ha
waiian supreme count to observe the consti
tution of the United Stales , ban been re
ferred to Attorney Oonerai urlggs , who hna
Iho legal authority to pnss upon the appli
cation. NovcKhclerH the omcials who have
looked Into the merits of hla application nre
confident that It will not to granted. 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.
GERMANS 11UV AMEUICAX 1MIOUUCTS.
I in lie rt More GoixlN from United States
Tlir.ii Any Other Country.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 27. Figures re
ceived at > the State department from the
German bureau of statistics , through Vlco
Consul General Hanauer at Frankforti show
that last year Germany Imported from the
United States more goods and products than
from any other country , the total toeing
$205,785,600. In the same tlmo we bought
from Germany goods to the vnluo of $79,611-
000. Great Britain stood second among thn
nations from 'Which ' Germany purchased ,
and Russia third. 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.
