New York, Sept. 26.--Admiral Dewey
is now about 600 miles off Sandy Hook.
So the land navigators of the city have
decided. His failure to touch at the
Bermudas has left everybody rather In
the dark as to his exact whereabouts,
but there is little doubt as to his arrival
Thursday afternoon.
1t is the Dewey way to be on time.
AS to New York state of mind at the
present moment it is one of painful ano
trying expectation.
The Dewey arch is practically fin
ished. The city is covered with flags
and bunting; the observation stands
are up; the fireworks are ready, and
here it is two whole days before sim
gle yell can be given or a sky rocket
sent up. Forty eight hours of holding
on when everybody has been ready to
scream for a year past.
| A boyish-looking person dressed in a
black serge suit walked into Mayor Van
| Wyck's office at noon yesterday, escort
! ed by Warren w. Foster, secretary of
the Dewey committe. The young man
| DOTTED his derby and twirled 1t nervous
| ~ While he gazed bout at the paint
| ngs on the wall. All of the windows of
| the big room We're open and the ham
mers of the carpenters building the
grand stand outside made a din which
rendered conversation difficult.
This way. please said Mr.. Foster.
Yes. sir" responded the young man,
| following the secretary into Mayor Van
| Wyck's private room.
| The mayor was seated at table with
Col. Ladd.
Mr.. Mayor" said Mr.. Foster, 81
| want to present to you Admiral Dew.
| -y's SON.
| Young George smiled happily and ex.
tended his hand. The mayor shook 1t
| warmly.
Il am glad to see you" remarked the
mayor, for want of something better tc
| say.
| Just then every one of the 100 or more
carpenters took it into his head to drive
a nail, and the mayor will never know
what the adniral's son said in reply.
| Mr.. Dewey is about the height of his
| father. He has good pair OF shout
ders and springy step. His face is
dark and smooth as a girls. His eyes
and hair are raven black. The young
| man impresses one as the same kind OF
/ a modest, quiet man as his father.

IS the Olympia is sighted said Mr.
! Dewey to reporter. .Of course, l am
delighted over the prospect of seeing
Iny father All of these preparations tc
do honor to him please me, and 1 wish
