GUEST OF THE NATION.
The Admiral Receives n Wonderful
Welcome In Washington.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The home
coming of Admiral George Dewcy-for
henccforth the national capital is to be
his home-was made the occasion for the
greatest tribute ever paid by Washington
to any individual. After the preliminary
welcome in New York. itself unsurpassed
In its kind. it remained for the highest
and greatest in the official world to hold
out the hand of greeting to the famous
admiral and to join with the people who
are to be his fellow citizens in bidding
him welcome.
The citizens had made every prepara-
tion to make the occasion worthy of their
hero. The decorations were elaborate.
Pennsylvania avenue was one mass of
colorcd bunting along the entire line Of
march from the station to the White
House. and. not content with this. few
private citizens failed to make some dis
play of color on their residences. Unique
designs in fairy lamps dotted the horizon,
great searchlights threw broad beams Of
bright light across the blue sky of a clear
October evening. and the stately capitol
stood revealed in all its quecnly beauty in
the powerful rays of many concentrated
lights. The same device was used effect
lively in the case of other public buildings
which stood within range of vision Of
the distinguished party which review
ed the great throng of people which
passed slowly along beneath the prov Of
the white Olympia which projected in
bold relief from the stand at the head of
Pennsylvania avenue. whereon stood
Dewey, the central figure of the demon
stratiOn.
Twelve thousand members OF civic orga-
nizatons paraded before him, besides
tens of thousands of nonorganized citi-
zens, and in roar Of cannon rockets and
the blaze of red fire and the thunderous
cheering of the populace and the warm
greeting of the head of the nation Dewey
came to the national capital to welcome
such as has not been known here hither-
to.
His journey here from New York had
been one continuous ovation, limited in
its intensity only by the density of popu-
lation.
