LAND PARADH
Admiral Dewey Reviewlf Woi
Patriots at &sm
FIFTY THOUSAND IN LINE
Event Unparalleled and Wonder
of Modern Times.
Schley Divides Honors With the
Hero of Manila.
The land parade in New York Sat
urday in honor of Dewey capped the
climax. The city, state and nation
united in one vast demonstration wor
thy of the hero of Manila. Fifty
thousand men were in line and the air
was torn with the shouts of millions.
The naval parade of Friday was a mag
nificent and superb spectacle, bu‘ the
wonder of modern times was the great
land parade which occurred Saturday.
Thousands of brave men of our
land and sea forces, militia of fifteen
states and the veterans of the civil
and Spanish-American wars swelled
the procession and gave it the dignity
in size that it boasted in sentiment.
Walls of people, miles long, stretched
down the line of march on either side,
a dense, impregnable mass. Fifth
avenue from Fifty-ninth street to the
Washington arch at Fourth street,
where the parade disbanded, was sol
idly packed with spectators, who over
flowed into the buildings and win
dows and on to the roof lines, sat in
embrasures and crowded scaffolding.
Along Broadway where it crossed
the avenue the skyscrapers were as
crowded at the top as at the bottom,
and for blocks down the intersecting
streets tenants hung from the win
dows and fire escapes, and multitudes
of them were on the roofs lying flat on
their stomachs peering down. For
hours they waited patiently and good
naturedly to see Dewey, and when
they saw him they waited on uncon
sciously for three hours and a half
white the whole procession passed.
The first ceremony of the day was
the presentation from the city hall of
a gold loving cup to the admiral by
Mayor Van Wyck in behalf of the city
of New York.
Parade Begins.
Seventeen aerial bombs from the
top of the Waldorf-Astoria heralded
the approach to the reviewing stand
in Madison Square. .Tackies of the
Olympia marching rank on rank at
the head of the column, their appear
ance being the signal for great cheer
ing.
The commander was on foot, walk
ing in front of his men as army ofli
cers do. A squad of sailors dragging
a rapid-fire six-pounder brought up
the rear of the Olympia battalion.
Then came the hero, the admiral,
and the officers of the fleet. All were
in open barouches and at their head
was the man of the hour. Mayor Yan
Wyck sat beside Admiral Dewey in
the carriage. The front seat was bank
ed with beautiful floral pieces.
The admiral was recognized on the
instant and the cheers and hurrahs
that had greeted the Olympia’s men
seemed tame compared with the shout
they raised.
The gallant captains of the ships en
gaged in the destruction of Montejo’s
fleet, except poor Gridley, who died a
month after the battle, followed and
also got a rousing welcome.
The three admirals, Howison,Samp
son and Philip, as they rode by with
their brilliantly accoutred staffs, were
easily recognized and got flattering
applause, as did many of the popular
officers of the north Atlantic squadron.
The governors of the several states,
who rode in carriages, though many
of them were popular and would have
received big demonstrations at any
other time, passed almost unnoticed.
The crowds would have none of them.
They yearned only for the brass but
tons and gold lace of military and na
val heroes and would have nothing
else. Both Major General Miles and
Major General Merritt got ovations.
But it was Rear Admiral Schley who
divided .the honors with the central
figure of the day.
DEPARTMENTS ORDERED C LOSED.
Washingtonians Given a Chance t> Par
ticipate In Dewey Ceremonies.
The president issued the following
executive order Friday:
“It, is hereby ordered that the sev
eral executive departments, the gov
ernment printing office and the navy
yard and station at Washington, be
closed on Tuesday, October 3, to en
able the employes to participate in the
ceremonies attending the reception of
Admiral Dewey, U. 8. N., and the
presentation of a sword of honor to
him as authorized by a joint resolu
tion of congress, approved June 3,
1898. William McKinley.”
UNIOX MEN UECOix>TZED.
Organized Labor and Festival Committee
at Chicago Agree.
The differences between organized
labor and the festival and federal com
mittees at Chicago have been adjusted
and it is announced that the corner
stone of the i ~ postoffice would be
laid m <Y in accordance
received second
to of
along the line cf
him, shouting their
throats to the breakiu^|oi9B
“Hurrah for the hero of Santiago. ”
“There is the man that
Cervera’s fleet.”
“Hip, hip, hurrah for Schley,” and
kindred cries came from all parts of
the line.
In upper Fifth avenue some enthsi
astie lady threw him a handful of
roses. They landed fairly in the car
riage. The admiral leaned forward,
picked them up and lifted them to his
lips. Instantly all the ladies in the
balcony seemed possessed with the
desire to have their flowers similarly
honored and he was fairly bombarded.
Many of the flowers fell into the
street, only to be caught up by eager
spectators and carried to the carriage.
Before he got to Madison square, Ad
miral Schley vas up to his arms in
flowers.
The marines and sailors of the north
Atlantic squadron, eight battalions of
them, attracted much attention.
Governor Roosevelt, riding a spir
ited black horse at the head of the na
tional guard of New York and sur
rounded by brilliantly uniformed offi
cers, received a hearty ovation from
one end of the line to the other.
The national guard of all the states
made a brilliant showing and were
evidently proud of their appearance
and' of the reception they received.
Before Madison Square was reached
Admiral Dewey and the receiving par
ty, in carriages, passed the front of
the procession and alighted at the re
viewing stand opposite Twenty-sixth
street, and took their places in the
boxes reserved for them. There for
the first time the admiral saw the
great arch of victory erected in his
honor. Captain Coghlan and Captain
Wildes joined him a moment later, the
crowds cheering like mad. Here the
admiral reviewed the entire parade.
Admiral Schley was very warmly
received at the reviewing stand. He
smiled constantly and bowed to right
and left. He and General Miles both
carried bouquets of flowers presented
by some enthusiasts on the line of
march.
The greatest applause given to any
of the military organizations was ac
corded to the crack Tenth Pennsylva
nia regiment, which got back from the
the Philippines a short time ago. This
regiment marched in the regulation
khaki uniform which they wore during
| their service before Manila. The
| colors, torn to tatters, set the crowd
; wild with enthusiasm.
Next to the reception to the Tenth
; Pennsylvania was that, to the Georgia
troops, who marched by with state
and national colors flying to the tune
of “Dixie.” They were loudly cheer
ed.
About 600 veterans of the civil war
were in the parade and about 200 of
] these were Grand Army men.
j There were several thousands of
veterans of the Spanish war. Most
of them wore their service clothes and
were repeatedly cheered.
The unarmed section passed quickly
in review and the parade was over. It
had taken just three hours and twenty
eight minutes to pass. The first body
of the admiral’s sailors passed him at
2:12 p. m. The last man in line went
1 by at 5:40 p. m.
Hardly had the ambulances, which
! brought up the rear, pulled under the
! arch when squadron “A” gaiioped into
| place for the admiral, ready to escort
| him to his hotel.
Saturday night a smoker given at
\ the Waldorf-Astoria to the sailors of
j the Olympia concluded New York’s
wonderful reception of Admiral Dewey
i and his men.
Admiral Dewey was very tired at
| the end of the parade. He was driven
| at once to the residence of Manager
' Boldt, of the Waldorf-Astoria, escorted
Iby squadron “A,” and accompanied
by Mayor Van Wyck. He dined with
his lieutenants, Brumby and Caldwell.
Admiral Dewey did not attend the
“smoker.” He was feeling too fa
| tigued to leave his apartments, and re
] tired at 10:15 o’clock.

PffiTRESS iS INDICTED. *
Pgi
[ The Grand Jury At Chattanooga
Charges Miss Julia Morri
son With Murder.
A Chattanooga special says: Miss
Julia Morrison, the actress, was in
dicted Thursday afternoon by the
grand jury in the circuit court of
Hamilton county for the murder of
Frank Leiden, or Leidenheimer, of
the “Mr. Plaster of Paris” company
at the opera house in Chattanooga
Friday evening, September 22. The
name of George J. Antz, of New Or
leans, brother-in-law of Leiden, ap
pears in the court papers as prose
uHtor.
The papers were presented to the
court and the case set for hearing
Tuesday, October 3d. The prisoner
was later very much cheered by several
members of the grand jury who called
to see her and stated that while they
were compelled under their oaths to
find an indictment, they felt sure that
she would be acquitted on the state’s
testimony.
Miss Morrison has taken very little
nourishment since her incarceration in
the county jail, and that, together with
the mental worry and great suspense
pending the trial, have told upon her
greatly, and she appears haggard and
careworn.
She is visited daily by some of the
good women of the city and she has
wanted for nothing in the way of com
fort. In conversation with an Asso
ciated Press reporter she stated that
there were details connected with the
tragedy that had not been brought out
and that would not be adduced in evi
dence unless it became necessary to
her acquittal.
ROOSEVELT CALLS ON DEWEY.
Olympia’s Men Are filven Their Congree
gioiml Medal*.
A New York dispatch says: Admiral
Dewey was considerably fatigued by
his rounds of visits and receptions
Wednesday, and did not rise until
later than usual Thursday morning.
He breakfasted with Flag Lieutenant
Brumby at 7:30 and then remained in
his quarters attending to some of his
mail, which had been accumulating
very rapidly.
There was a large crowd of sight
seers out early in excursion boats,
launches and rowboats, and they be
came very enthusiastic when “at
colors” was sounded and the officers
and crews gathered on the decks of the
various warships while half a dozen
hands played the “Star Spangled
Banner.”
After finishing his correspondence
Admiral Dowey appeared on the quar
terdeck and paced up and down for a
. constitutional. At that time there was
a score of yachts around the flagship.
I The people on the excursion steamers
: and on the yachts cheered wildly at
the first sight of the admiral, and he
was kept busy bowing in return.
Three hundred and fifty men who
; fought under Dewey at Manila were
| presented on board the Olympia with
! bronze medals awarded them by con
| gress.
Dnring the day Admiral Dewey and
his officers and men on the Olympia
wero informally welcomed to the state
of New York by Governor Roosevelt
and the chief officers of the national
guard of the slate. Besides Governor
Roosevelt there were in the welcoming
party other men whose grasps of the
admiral’s hand were something more
than formal.
Rear Admiral Howison said that
Chicago would appear in the naval
parade but that he would not take
precedence over Admiral Sampson.
FARRAGUT’S OLD ENSIGN
Presented to Admiral Dewey, Who Was
Deeply Affected.
One of the most touching incidents
since the arrival of Admiral Dewey at
New York occurred Thursday, when
the faded admiral’s flag that was float
ed by Admiral Farragut was presented
to Admiral Dewey. >■
Commander George W. Baird, who
sailed with Farragut and Dewey in the
West Gulf squadron in 1861, presented
tie historic emblem in a neat speech.
Admiral Dewey was deeply affected
and tears wore in his eyes as he gazed
at the souvenir. It was several mo
ments before he could find his voice.
Finally he said:
“I’ll fly it. I’ll fly it at the mast
head. I’ll fly it in the parade. I’ll
liw it always, and when I strike my
admiral’s flag, this will be the flag I’ll
strike.”
PRISONERS ARE RELEASED.
Filipinos Deliver Up Fourteen Americuntt
Whom They Captured.
Advices from Manila state that the
insurgent commissioners arrived at
Angelas Saturday and stated tho pris
oners were following.
Some hours later fourteen American
prisoners, all enlisted soldiers, were
delivered up by the Filipinos.
It is reported from Iloilo that the
Tagals have arrested Virayan, a gen
eral, charging him with being a trai
tor. Tribal discord, it is added, is
growing. Many of the rebel soldiers
have revolted, many European prison
ers escaping in the meanwhile.
Lives Lost In Floods.
Lieutenant Governor Sir John Wood
bury announced to the council of Cal
cutta, India, that 400 lives were lost
through the floods at Darjeeling, capi
tal of the district of that name, in ad
dition to those drowned on the plains.

AT THE FRONT
Porac, Another Rebel Stronghold,
Captured By Americans.
FIGHT WAS SHARP AND SPIRITED
Alabamian and MacArthur March
Abreast In the Advance
Upon the Enemy.
A cable dispatch from Manila says:
The movement against Porac, about
eight miles from Bacolor, in Pampunga
province, which begau at daybreak
Thursday morning, was conducted
personally by General MacArthur,
General Joe Wheeler, with the Ninth
regiment and a battery, advancing by
two roads, while General Wheaton,
commanding the Twelfth and Seven
teenth regiments, moved to block the
insurgents’ retreat from the north.
The Thirty-sixth regiment accompa
nied Genera) MacArthur.
General MacArthur entered Porac
at 3 o’clock, after half an hour’s fight
ing. Thn American loss is not known.
The enomy fled northward. When the
Americans entered the town they
found it entirely deserted.
The attacking party moved on Po
rac in two columns. The Ninth in
fantry, with two gnus from Santa Ri
ta, was commanded by General Wheel
er, and the Thirty-sixth infantry, un
der Colonel Bell, with one gun, ac
companied General MacArthur from
San Antonio. Both columns struck
the town at 9 o’clock and opened a
brisk tire, which was replied to by the
enemy for half an hour. Then the in
surgents fled and the Americans
marched over their trenches and took
possession of the place.
Just before the fight Smith’s com
mand at Angeles made a demonstra
tion by firing artillery up the railroad
track.
Liscum reported one casualty and
Bell reported four men of his regiment
wounded. The artillery did not have
any men injured.
The day’s movement was a strate
gical success and resulted in the pos
session of Porac and the cle-.ring of
several miles of country thereabouts.
Tho two columns, one from Santa
Rita and the other from Sn Antonio,
united before Porac, according to pro
gram, stretching around the place for
some miles.
The insurgents are estimated to
have numbered 600 men. Ten dead
| Filipinos were i'ouud and tho captain
i and commissary of Nascarno’s com
j mand were taken prisoners.
The American loss was five wounded,
but there were many prostrations from
the heat.
Englishmen from the insurgent Lines
report that the Filipinos at Bamban
have 7,000 new Japanese rifles.
TO RETAIN BRUMBY.
Admiral Dt*wey AVI 11 Kcpji Georgian On
21 iff Staff While On Shvre I>uty.
Admiral Dewey has made known to
the navy department that he desires to
retain Lieutenant Brumby as one of
his staff while on shoro duly in this
country. This detail will raiso Lieu
tenant Brumby to the rank of captain.
Tho question under consideration,
however, is whether or not the comp
troller will allow him tho pay of a cap
tain. The department claims that an
aid to a full admiral according to the
law, and certainly according to the
regulations, must hold the rank of a
captain. It is usual for an admiral to
choose his aids from a class higher
than the lieutenancy, but Admiral
Dewey wishes to retain the Georgian,
end, of course, his wish is law in the
department.

DIPEY AT CAPITAL.
i
Washington Accords Grand Re
caption to the Admiral.
WARMLY GREETED BY PRESIDENT.
Journey From New York Was Marked
Ry Tremendous Ovations Ail
Along: the Line.
Admiral Dewey left New York Mon
day afternoon for Washington. The
journey was oue of continual ovation.
It was said by the railroad officials
and trainmen tliut the most remark
able demonsrtation that has ever taken
place aloug the line was witnessed on
the run. Every town turned out its
full population, and every house and
crossroads settlement was turned in
side out to see the flying special pass.
Admiral Dewey was particularly
touched all along the line by tho num
ber of children who turned out to see
him. They* formed a very large part
of the crowd in every town, and
wherever there was a schoolhouse the
children had evidently been given a
special recess to como out and cheer
the train. There was another large
crowd of children at Baltimore, and
Admiral Dewey, who had come to the
rear platform for tho sixth or seventh
time on the trip, said to the trainmas
ter, who was standing by him, that he
felt more touched and complimented
by the attention of the children than
by almost any other thing that had
happened since his return to America.
Great preparation had boon made in
Washington for the admiral’s recep
tion, and the occasion was made the
greatest tribute ever paid by Wash
ington to any individnal. After the
preliminary welcome in New York,
itself unsurpassed in its kind, it re
| mained for the highest and greatest in
the official world to hold out tho hand
of greeting to the famous admiral, and
to join with tho people wh* are to be
his follow-citizens in bidding him wel
come.
The decorations in the city were
elaborate; Pennsylvania avenue was
one mass of colored bunting along the
entire line of march from the station
to the white house.
Tho prow of the white Olympia pro
jected in bold relief from the stand at
the head of Pennsylvania avenue,
whereon stood Dewey, the central
figure of the demonstration. On the
facade of tho newly completed general
postoffice building flamed forth two
inscriptions set in electrio points, the
one reciting the famous message of the
president, directing Dewey, then 10,-
000 miles away in the far east, to go
forth to destroy the (Spanish fleet, and
the other setting ont the famous admi
ral’s direction to tho lamented Grid
ley: “You may flro when you are
ready, Gridley,” which marked an
epoch iu the history of tho United
Htates.
Twelve thousand members of civic
organizations paraded before him, be
side teas of thonsauds of non-organ
ized citizens, and in a roar of cannon
rockets, the blaze of red fire, the
thunderous cheering of the populace,
and the warm greeting of the head of
the nation, Dewey came to the nation
al capital to a welcome such as has not
been known there hitherto.
Previous to these demonstrations
Admiral Dewey was escorted to the
white house, where he was welcomed
and greeted by President McKinley
and all the officials at the national
capital.

GREAT GATHERING IN DALLAS
Bryan Greeted With Great D. flS|
oust rat ion—Ex-Gov.
Makes First Speech. 2
The two days Democratic carnival -
opened at Dallas, Texas, Monday, the
event of the morning being the arrival
of William Jennings Bryan. The city
was packed with Democrats, repre
senting forty states, Oklahoma and
Indian Territory. There were fully
10,000 persons in the grand stand at
the fair grounds.
Among the prominent men present
were O. H. P. Belmont, of New York;
Judge James P. Tarvin, of Kentucky;
Colonel M. C. Wetmore, of Missouri;
United States Senators Berry, of Ar
kansas, and Chilton, of Texas; Con
gressmen Sulzer.of Now York; Maddox,
of Georgia; Richardson, of Tennessee;
Davis,of Florida; Gordon,of Ohio; Ben
ton and Clark, of Missouri; Dinsmore,
of Arkansas,and the Texas delegation;
Governor Jones, of Arkansas; ex-Gov
ernors Adams, of Colorado, and Crit
tenden and Stone, of Missouri; J. G.
Johnson, of Kansas, who has recently
como into prominence in the Demo
cratic national committed; Mayor Rose,
of Milwaukee; Harvey Saloman, of St.
Louis, aiul thousands of lessor lighta
and leaders.
Meetings were arranged for the
morning, afternoon and evening, each
with an attraction of national leaders.
There was no end of enthusiasm aud
each speaker was made to feol that the
Democratic cause had fallen on willing
ears.
Among those whose appearance at
tracted the most attention were Mr.
Bryan, ex-Governor Stouo aud Con
gressman Champ Clark, of Missouri,
Congressman William Sulzer, of New
York, and Judge Tarvin, of Kentucky.
In order to accommodate tho im
mense crowds the place of speaking
was changed from the auditorium to
the race track grand stand. Mr. Bry
an arrived at the grounds shortly after
10 o’clock and was accorded a great
ovation. Among those who surround
ed him in tho speaker’s stand were
Hon. O. H. P. Belmont, of Nw York;
Governor Sayers, of Texas; ex-Sena
tor Reagan, and all of the Texas con
gressional delegation. Tho next im
portant arrival was Governor Stone,
of Missouri, who was received with
oheors.
Chairman Georg# Garden intro
duced Governor Stone at 11:15 a. m.
and he addressed his auditors in part
as follows:
“I believe the Chicago platform of
1896 will be, and should bo, reaffirm
ed. This should bo done botji gg a
matter of principle and politics. When’
I say it should be done as a matter of
politics I mean that when the subject
la considered from that level, which
is tho lowest levol from which it
should be considered, I believe tho
party would lose more than it would
gain by refraining from its position.
If our party should lower its colors
and abandon tho fight for bimetallism,
we might gain or lose, and over and
above all considerations of temporary
expediency, rises this question: What
is right? Is tho freo use of both gold
and silver as primary money best for
tho whole people? Or, will the general
welfare bo best promoted by the use
of gold alone?
“I do no! ask whether tho welfare
of certain speciul interests will be
best promoted by the one policy or
the other, hut whether, all things
considered, not for a day, or under
special conditions, but for all the
years and under all conditions, the
general welfare will bo best promoted
by the one policy or the other—by
monometulism or bimetallism.
“We cannot fight with great hope
of certain victory without money and
organization. Every Democrat in the
United States should do his part.
Every one can do something. Every
Democrat in America should send his
mite to our national committee at
Chicago and then do his utmost at
home to effect a thorough party organ
ization. If this should be doue I
would have no doubt of our success in
1900.”
Governor Stone’s speech was fre
quently applauded. The next orator
was Governor Jones, of Arkansas.
At the conclusion of Governor Jones’
address the crowd went frantic in their
demand for Mr. Bryan. Mr. Bryan
advanced, and in a short speech said
that, while his time for speaking had
not yet arrived, he could not allow an
opportunity to escape withont extend
ing his thanks for this magnificent re
ception.
SEVEN MEN DROWNED.

Mile* From Hone Kong.
The steamer Olympia brings news
of the loss of the steamer Whiteeloud,
a paddle steamer, which was proceed
ing from Hong Kong to Manila under
an American charter. The vessel
foundered when about niuety miles
from Hong Kong, and seven men were
drowned. The crew had just time
enough to get away from the pteamer
when she foundered.
