WASHINGTON , Oct. 3. The culmination
of Admiral Uowey's triumphal homo-icomlng
was reached today In the shadow of the dome
of the national capltol. Here he received
from the hands of the president the magnifi
cent Jeweled sword voted him by congress
Jn commemoration ot the victory of Manila
bay. This was the official reason for the
ceremony. But moro official sanction could
never have thrown Into , the demonstration
the fervor of enthusiasm that was meted out
to the admiral as ho appeared before the
i -vast audience , composed not only ot all the
J highest officials In the land , but ot spectators
* T drawn from every quarter of the United
6tatos.
The battle of Manila bay was not forgot
ten , but it might bo said to have been rele
gated almost to second place In the desire
to do honor to the man who had proved
iilmselt BS great after victory as before It
nnd who had shown In the- long aua trying
- " 7/nthB that followed his naval triumph the
/qualities of a statesman nnd a wise admin
istrator as well us a fighting leader ot the
victorious fleet And enhancing these qual
ities was .that . of manly modesty , displayed
In the quiet dignity with which ho met the
occasion.
This trait of Dewey'a character was evi
denced from the moment ho reached the
Bland sldo by side with the president. Ho
paused at .thl . point for a moment unwill
ing , apparently , to take the place that had
been prepared for him on the right ot the
platform lest he should appear to usurp the
i place duo to the chief magistrate. President
McKlnlc'y grasped the situation in an In-
etant and taking his great sea captain by
the arm placed him by gentle force In that
chair that had been intended for him.
Later In the day , as the carriages bearing
the official party drove away from the capl
tel between walls of cheering people , the
piosldcnt again displayed his tact by re
maining covered and Ignoring the demon-
etratloa himself , leaving the acknowledg
ment * o the admiral alone.
TrylnR nit Well an Triumphal.
For Dfiwey It was n. trying ns well us a
triumphal day. It has been given to Ibvr
officers In the naval history ot the country
to sit before a crowd of thousands while the
chief of the naval establishment dilated upon
Iholr exploits and then to stand before the
eamo crowd to receive at tne hands of the
president a sword prepared for him at the
behest of the representatives of the whole
people. The strain upon Admiral Dewey
reached almost to the breaking point. None
but those nearest to him could see ihow he
labored to repress his feellngs _ during the
uddrcea of Secretary Long , but when he
arose to receive the sword from the hands
Dt the president no ono could mistake the
( lash of the white gloved hand as it rose to
dash away the tears before the admiral
came to the rigid attitude of attention before -
fore his chief.
When it became Dewoy's turn to reply
bis voice failed him and ho made the ef
fort twice before his lips would respond.
When bo did succeed his tones were clear
nnd steady , but so low that only these ncar-
cet him could hear.
There was an exquisite bit of comedy fol
lowing the trying formalities , though It es
caped all but these directly on the stand.
As the admiral closed and took his seat ho
turned to the president and in a tone of
quizzical appeal Inquired :
"Now , really , don't you think I did pretty
well for an amateur ? "
Once during the ceremonies Secretary
Long embraced an opportunity to ease the
trying situation for the chief actor in the
day's events. When the secretary began
bis addrrss the sun was shining directly in
Admiral Dowey's eyes and , without his hat ,
bo was at Us mercy. The secretary quietly
inserted In his address a low aside"Ad
miral , turn your chair a little , wo don'l
want to have you blind. "
Sclilcy Given nil Ovation.
One of the most remarkable features o ;
tbo eventful day was the ovation to Rear
Admiral Schley on the return of the part )
from the capltol to the Whlto house. His
carriage was several numbers behind tha' '
of the president and Admiral Dewey am
received an ovation that could scarcely be
ranked below that accorded to the admlra
lilmeelf. The tumult grow as tbo carriage
proceeded down the avenue and the crowc
purged around it till the horses were brough
to a foot pace. Finally a ccinpany of High
echool cadets came to the rescue and formei
about tbo carriage In a hollow square. Thu
protected and flanked by a force of police the
carriage reached the White IIOUFO with a
long cap between It and the next otllcla
KUesta. .
Out of the store of his experience the presIdent
Idont was able to give Admiral Dewey ono
valuable suggestion before leaving the cap
Itol. Tbo venerable Cardinal Gibbous wa
presented and , after un exchange of greet
Ings , the president asked the admiral If h
felt equal to a general ordeal of baud-Bhak
lug. Tbo hero of Manila swerved from Ih
shock , explaining that his right arm wa
partially paralyzed from his experience In
New York.
"Let me suggest to you , " said the presl
dent , "hereafter you shake the other man *
band , don't let him ehako youra. You aav
yourself by not letting them get the gras
on you. "

From end to end the avenue rang with
eafenlng cheero and the bank * of humanity
ook on life and motion , as flags and hand-
cerchlofs were waved madly.
Following the admiral came the officcru

Ceremony at the Capitol.
Ltko everything connected with Dowey's
ecord , he was early In arriving at the cnpl-
ol , being halt an hour ahead of time. Two
ommlttccracn preceded the president and
Admiral Dewey. The waiting crowd uncov
ered and the president and the admiral
iromptly did the same as they paasod rap-
dly Into the lobby of the senate. Dewey
wag followed by his war captains and the
ull cabinet acted as an escort. The presl-
cnt with his cabinet was shown Into the
iresldant's room , while Admiral Dewey with
ils captains occupied the room of the vice
( resident. There was a wait of half an hour ,
hen the party took up their march to the
stand in the same order as they had enterea
he capltol. The band struck Into the soul-
moving strains of "Hall to the Chief" as the
> rocesslon moved slowly down the 'steps to
ho stand.
The crowd cheered long as the party took
heir seats , Admiral Dewey rising with bare
lead to respond to the ovation. A colored
ervant In livery threw a naval cloak over
ho admiral's shoulders as he took his seat.
Prayer was offered by Rev. Bristol , Presl-
ent McKlnley's pastor. Ross Perry then
made the Introductory address , which was
ustlly cheered.
Miin for the Honr.
"Admiral Dewey : The nation's capital
welcomes you , the nation's hero. The city
of Washlngeon welcomes you who. In the
roundness nnd completeness of your character -
actor , approach the perfect orb of that BU-
promo ma : ) whose name It bears. tLlko him
ou too have anticipated the fame of Im
mortality. Long may you live to enjoy It
day you llvo long to truly prove the love
and honor ot a grateful people.
"America has never lacked great mon.
When the crucial hour in her history has
struck , the man of the crisis has appeared.
V great man gazed through the darkness ot
Imo and space and saw upon the horoscope
the star of a new world. Great men plowed
unknown seas , pierced boundless forests ,
subdued savage foes , and wrought the harsh
'eaturee of the wilderness into the smiling
face ot this fair land. Our colonial infancy ,
our provincial youth , our struggling man-
lood , have been founded ana protected by
.ho wisdom and the courage of great men.
Their blood haa given us Independence
abroad and freedom at hcxno. We have
withstood foreign war and domestic malice
chiefly through them. To them It Is due
lhat we but yesterday stood a united , al
though an Isolated nation , and sent forth
to the world a challenge In the name of
tnimanlty.
"It was your signal good fortune that
made you the challenger , but It was alto
gether your own great qualities that made
tha challenge good ; that won the flgbt ; that
maintained the victory ; that put the na
tion's flag so high In the eastern sky that
all could see It ; that made the whole world
know nnd say that our nation Is a citizen
of the world , come to play a man's part and
to demand a man's power nnd honor. Theao
great qualities the nation today formally
recognizes. Happy you , who hear with your
own ears , what too often the children of the
great listen to. May you llvo long that you
will behold your own best monument In your
country's good , grown greater through your
deeds. Again welcome to your own true
home this city of the nation. "
Mr. Perry ended by introducing Secretary
Long , who waa received with enthusiasm
and standing bare-headed addressed bis re
marks directly to Dewey , who remained
bare-headed and seated ,

IX1U9 , Luzon , Oct. 3. The statement that
lajor Price asked Admiral Watson to send
ho gunboats to his support in the recent
ngagemont of hit regiment In tie vicinity
f Imus is incorrect
General Lawton today dispersed the In-
urgonta , driving them to the westward.
General Lawton's force consists of all the
roops from Ilacoor and Zapote , five com-
innles of the Fourteenth regiment , Colonel
laggott commanding ; Mcgrath's troop of
. "ourth cavalry , Rellly'a battery of two guns
and another battery of two guns. General
Fred Grant Is co-operating with n force com-
xjscd of thrco companies of the Fourth
egimont , Major Price commanding ; Knnben-
hlne's scouts and one gun.
The purpose of the rebels was to cut the
communication maintained .between Bacoor
and Imus by means of the. road 'bcrtwecn '
hose places at a point 'between ' Imus nnd
he cast bank of the river. The insurgents
md trenches along the west bank , com
manding the open spaces. A force of 1,500
obels attacked Imus yesterday and GOO
proceeded against Bacoor with detachments
along tbo river.
Drive FIllpliioH from Trcnchcn.
This morning Colonel Daggett's force
prcad along the road from Bacoor toward
mus and three companies of the Fourth
egimont under Captain Hollls were thrown
ut from Imus , the two commands forming
a junction. The entire line crossed the
Iver nnd drove tha Filipinos from their
renches to the westward , through rice
ioWs and thickets.
The marines , whoso services were ten-
iercd by Admiral Watson , crossed the river
near the 'bay ' , forming a part pf the line ot
advance. Before the forward movement
was begun the 'American ' artillery held the
enemy's position. The only American
casualty waa the wounding of a lleu-
enant of artillery. Several wounded
Filipinos were attended by Surgeon Major
'enrose and members of the ambulance
corps. A number of prisoners were taken.
General Lawton , while riding up the road
o Imus , was a target for many shots.
Tha telegraph line waa cut yesterday in a
wind commanded by the enemy's trenches ,
at ,100 yards distant and when Lieutenant
Cunningham , with a repair party , appeared
o restore the wires , two men and. Lieuten
ant Cunningham's horse were shot. Lleu-
enant McClosky then brought a gam of
Uley's 'battery ' Into the open and trained
t on the trench , dispersing the Filipinos
with two well trained shots.
Capture niflcn and Mnnltlona.
Captain Pore and the Sixth infantry at
tacked the Insurgents Sunday In a now
.rench "which they had constructed near
fabuan , Island of Ncgros , and scattered
hem. The Americans took ono prisoner ana
captured twelve rifles , 6,000 Cartridges , a
quantity of rice and hospital supplies.
. Another UtiMtratlon-of the insurgent policy
ot evading meeting the Americans In force
was shown by the fact that our lines swept
across several miles of country firing by vol-
ey and cheering , the Filipinos melting be
fore thorn. Only occasional glimpses of the
enemy could > be had oa they ran from their
trenches and dodged through the bushes like
rabbits. Ono body of the enemjr under a
lormor mayor of Imus retreated toward
Perez Das Maras and another in the direc
tion of San Francisco de Malabo.
Lieutenant Knabenshlne , .with a party of
scouts , crossed the river last night and
tound 'twwity-clght dead Filipinos In the
Tenches , fifteen of whom had been killed by
one shell.
When the marines marched Into Imus the
soldiers cheered them and General Lawton
commended them on their work. Ono de
tachment from Cavlto was commanded by
Captain Halno ? and another from the Balti
more by Captain Myers.
The first wagon train with provisions to
reach Imus In three days has arrived ana
two oompanles of the Fourteenth regiment
from towns along 'the ' 'bay ' marched in today
to relieve the Fourth regiment , whose members -
bers have been kept awake in the trenches
day and night for a week under the annoy
ing Intermittent flro from the insurgents
outside the town.

NEW YORK , Oct. 3. As the sun set , a
great ball of fire behind the Navcatnk hills ,
nnd the sparkling stars came Into the flaw
less heavens , the biggest crowd of sightseers
nnd yachtsmen who over sailed down Sandy
Hook to witness the attempt of a foreign
mug-hunter to wrest from America the
yachting supremacy of the world , returned to
New York crestfallen and disappointed. The
winds from the caves of old ocean had
proven too light nnd shifty , and the first of
the International aeries of 1S99 between the
two greatest racing machines ever produced
by England and America degenerated Into a
drifting match and had to bo declared off bis
cause rclther could reach the finish line In
the time allotted by the rules.
To avoid just such winds as occurred today ,
In which luck nnd not the crew and yachts
win , the rules provide that If one of the
boats docs not finish within five and a half
hours the race Is declared off , BO at the end
of the time this evening , whin the yachts
were fctlll four miles from homo , with the
Shamrock lending by something moro than
a quarter of a mile , the committee officially
declared that there had been no race. The
yachts were then taken In tow by their re
spective tugs and brought iback to their
anchorage Insldo Sandy Hook. The clean
limbed racers had sailed out this morning
fresh for battle , 'but the sea had refused
them a field of conflict. Under the rules the
first raoo Is now postponed for two days , or
until Thursday.
The day promised well at first. The eky
was smirched with a few dirty clouds , but
clear enough to permit the thousands of
spectators who lined the Jersey shore to see
almost every foot of the course. The waves
were crested with white caps hero and
there and a fairly fresh breeze blow out of
the north northeast , but after the Columbia
and Shamrock had crossed the line , the wind
turned flukey and variable and the race
was a fizzle almost from the start. But the
fluke today gave the yachting sharps and
the spectators much to think about and
some surprises.
The Columbia Is undoubtedly the pret-
tlor boat. She Is tall , stately , with grace
ful lines and towering masts.
The Irish boat , Wlti her broader beam
and longer bass line , looked slower and
heavier. Perhaps her green color makes
her look clumsier , as If she were" forced
through the water , -whllo the slim Columbia
pierces It Hko a rapier.
Though Indecisive in every respect as to
the abilities of the great rival single-
stickers , today's race Indicates that the
Irish boat with her English skipper and her
Scotch crew , Is the ablest eloop ever sent
acrcis the Atlantic In the tope of lifting
the 100 guinea cup which tbo Americans
brought back forty-eight years ago nnd
which has since been successfully defended
against the world.
Kncli In Tarn Xlc-nln tlie Other.
During the five nnd a half houra' eaillng
the Shamrock was thrice ahead and twice
the Yankee boat showed the way. For the
first ten minutes the Shamrock led , then
for five the Columbia's graceful bow
ehowcd ahead of the green boat ; for forty-
flve minutes following the Shamrock , then
for three hours the Columbia , and for the
last hour and a half It was the Shamrock
that led the way. The breeze blew as high
as twelve knots an hour and as low as three
and shifted about through olght points of
thp compass.
Each In turn beat the other running before
the wind and was In turn beaten , beating
against the wind at various stages of the
tace , so that many of the experts who saw
the two boats sail today are disinclined to
believe that there Is a pin to choose between
them ; but when the race Is closely analyzed
It Is absolutely proven that the Columbia
showed Its superiority at every point of run
ning , sailing , reaching and beating when
ever the wind freshened and that it was
only In the lightest air that the Shamrock
could make headway against It. Both had
their share of good and bad luck. The
Columbia had the bettor of the shifting
winds on the run down to the mark and
beat the Shamrock 2 mlnutis nnd 44 seconds
ends , while on the beat home , after Increas
ing ita lead to over a mile at one time , the
Shamrock overhauled the Yankee and was a
quarter of a mile ahead when the time al
lowance expired.

everybody most was the perfectly clear field
which was maintained , For the first time
the government took n hnna to prevent a
repetition of the unfortunate occurrence
which marred the race when the accompany
ing excursion boats In their frenzied eager
ness to let none of tbo beautiful spectacle
escape crowded down upon the racers until
their backwash Impeded < helr progress
through the \vater and canned Lord Dun-
raven to file his protest. The government
was determined tills year that the course
should bo protected against unofficial Ires-
pcreers. A flotilla of revenue cutters and
swift torpedo boats , flying red-barred while
flags , guarded the course , keeping excursion
steamers , yachts and luge at a perfectly
snfo distance from the canvas-clouded racers.
On the way down they maintained two par
allel lines , n cnllu apart , two line fences
through which not one of the pushing ,
crowding fleet of excursion vessels was per
mitted to poke its nose. The broad expanse
of sen Insldo , without wash or swell , was
left clear aud free for the maneuvering of
the racers.
On the way back the patrol vessels were
equally efficient. When the yachts were on
the starboard tnck the torpedo boats were
In column on the same course and the rev
enue cutters abreast , behind the yachts ,
tin's forming a right angle , In the hollow ot
which the yachts sailed without embarrass
ment
When the yachts changed course each ves
sel of the patrol licet changed with It , simply
altering the direction ot the moving angle
and koeplng the excursion boats fenced off.
It was only toward the close , when the hope
of finishing the race WBB given up , that the
oxcuraton boats crowded about the ends of
the patrol lines , many of them making
straight for home.
Yankee * Quicker Than Illvnln.
The couno was laid fifteen mllea dead
before the wind nnd back. The direction of
the wind carried this course south , south-
v.eHt from the Sandy Hook lightship , al
most straight down the Jersey coast to a
point off Asbury Park , where a whlto float
with a red ball was ( placed to mark tbo
turning point. Tha Columbia was admir
ably handled throughout the race. Though
the Shamrock was Drst across the line by
forty-three seconds the Columbia's Deer
Island crew of Yankees , wearing their pic
turesque watch caps In Iselln'o colors , were
eo much handler than their Scotch rivals
that they had the Columbia's spinnaker and
balloon jib eot flrst by ithree minutes. The
spectators marveled at the cloud of canvas
the Leviathans carried. Straight up Into
the air the Blender yards carried the point
ot the pyramids of canvas for 175 feet. It
is hard to realize that this means the
height of an ordinary twelve-story building
and that the frail ( hulls were Cowling along
under the pressure of 14,000 feet of ' canvas.
The twin ballobuSjwlth their 'following
wln.l , lifted the Columbia along like a great
gull In the tcn-knotbrec2o' and carried It In
ton minutes past the Shamrock. But when
the win died to six knots , as It did within
n few minutes , the Shamrock forged steadily
ahead , until at the end of forty-five minutes
It led by 200 yarda. Then a sudden haul ot
wind to the north , northwest reached the
Columbia flrst.
The big-bellied spinnaker was taken In ,
Its mainsail was smartly gybed and it
passed the Shamrock as ir the latter 'had '
been moored to its wharf. Instead or a run
the canting of the wind now made It a
reach for the outer marker , but the Colum
bia gradually edged over toward the Jersey
coast with the intention of getting the wind
astern and running straight before it. The
maneuvers were successfully accomplished
after crossing the Shamrock's bow , but Just
as the spinnaker was set aboard the Colum
bia the wind cantered back to the north ,
northwest and left it with a cloud of
canvas , shivering like a collapsed balloon.
The Shamrock bad started to follow the Co
lumbia's tactics. Twlco It lowered Its spin
naker bow , as if to break out the big sail ,
but as the wind hold from the now quar
ter It gybed Its main boom instead ana
reached straight for the mark. Although
the maneuver of the Columbia had been
successful It was a costly one and It lost
several minutes by holding on to Its 1m-
menso canvas In the vain hope that the

tion meeting at the Oliver theater. Ad

Horace B. Whltmoro , C. O. Whedon , Rosco
Pound and several others. Republicanism ,
patriotism and fltncsa for otllco wcro the
themes of the speeches.
This mooting was especially Important
for the reason that two of the principal

were , until tlilis year , strong1 democrats and
supporters of Holcomb. The.io men were
Jauics Mallley ami H. G. Whltmore.
All the speeches wcro enthusiastically rt.

largo opera house to Us utmost Renting ca
pacity. The Young Men's Republican club.

or more students comprising the University ,
Non-Portlson Reeao club entered the houao'
