NEW YoRx, April 27.--Rear Admiral
Jouett came TO town yesterday TO represent
Admiral Porter in conference with The naval
committee regarding details Of the naval
parade When he arrived at the committee

must be obeyed. Admiral Porter had ordered
that the Dispatch proceed from L izaheth-
port through the lines Of the parade, and ac-
company the war vessels up the Hudson river
as far as Twenty-sixth street, then passing
them in review. Then, leaving the war YES
sels, the Dispatch was 70 steam down again,
round the Battery and land the president al
the foot Of Wall street The orders the naval
committee had issued were that the Dispatch
should proceed from Elizbethport at once 70
the foot Of Wall street, and let the parade
take care Of itself Rear Admiral Jouett de-
clared that the Dispatch was a government
vessel and that government officer was
marshal Of the affair The committee con-
tested that the whole affair was purely a
civic demonstration, and that A lmiral Porter
was aeting only in an honorary capacity as
marshal.

which was three hours in duration At its
close It was announced that Rear Admiral

ment Of the committee was that II the Dis

before landing the president he would not get
to Wall street for two hours after the sched-
uled time, and the entire programme for the
demonstration after his landing would be de-
lnyed.

The gay centennial decorations that d,
lighted the eyes of New Workers on Thursda
presented a most sad and woebegone appeal
ance at dusk yesterday. The driving raj
and the searching wind Of the precedin
twenty-four hours had robbed them Of thei
beauty, and they hung limp and bedraggle
on the walls like the plumage OF a hal
drowned peacock. All along Broadway th
destruction was apparent, and in some IN
stances it was comical ia the disc osures 0
