crowd rearranged itself. broad path was
cleared across the plaza and Admiral
Dewey stood up beside the President to re-
view the parade.
At the conclusion of this review Admiral
Dewey was escorted by the civil commit

After Admiral Dewey and the President
had left the stand there were loud Gals
by the crowd for Schley. and in response
that officer stepped into the vacant stand
and bowed repeatedly to the people
Picture With sword.
There was one pleasing incident at the
close of the ceremony in front of the Cap
itol. The photographers, who were strain
ing every effort to get pictorial record Of
the occasion, were evidently far from salts
fed with their results. During part of the
time the raised lid of the case containing
the sword hid the admiral from view Of
the photographers and after the sword was
actually handed to him he held it but a
moment so that there was no opportunity
to get that particu ar view. Some one re-
Quested the admiral to permit a photo
graph of himself with the sword in hand,
and he stepped forward and held the trophy
in both hands long enough for the cameras
to be snapped.
Throughout the ceremony there was an
evident lack of any attempt on the part of
the admiral to pose or to act before the
great crowd Of people assembled. His acts
were perfectly natural at all times.
Senators and Representatives..

representing Congress on the platform were

to the President, who arose and faced the
admiral. who was now also standing The
President himself had literally applauded
the words of the speakers when they re-
ferred to the great achievements Of Ad-
miral Dewey and his own tribute, now to
be paid to the hero of Manila Bay. was a
fitting one. Here again Admiral Dewey
was visbly affected as he stoed before the
vast multitude, ready to accept from the
hand of the head of the nation an honor
seldom accorded public servant. The
President said:
Admiral Dewey. From our entrance in
the harbor of New York with your gallant
crew and valiant ship the demonstrations
which everywhere have greeted you
veal the public esteem Of your heroic ac-
ton and the fullness of the love in which
you are held by your country.
The voice of the nation Is lifted in
praise and gratitude for the distinguished
and memorable services you have rendered
the country, and all the people give you
affectionate welcome home. in which l join

thority. There was no flaw in your vic
tory; there will be no faltering in MAIN
tanning it. Great applause.) 1t gives me
extreme pleasure and great honor in be-
half of all the people to hand you this
sword, the gift of the nation, voted by the
Congress of the United States.
The President handed the admiral the
sword with deep bow. and there was
roar of applause as Dewey received it.
The crowd was hushed as he turned to re-
ply.
Admiral Dewey's Response.
Admiral Dewey spoke with firm voice.
but as was the case with other speakers.
his words could be heard only short dis

was heightened when. the sailors and ma
rines from the Olympia were located on
the steps at the north wing.
Description of the Sword.
The sword. except it's steel blade and
the body metal Of its scabbard. Is entirely
of 22-carat gold. On the pommel is cary
ed the name Of the battle ship Olympia.
which was Deweys flagship at Manila, and
the zodiacal sign for December in which
lucky month Dewey was born. Circlng
these Is a closely woven wreath Of oak
leaves, long employed to indicate and adorn
rank.
Below these the pommel is embraced by
gold collar. on the front of which are
the arms Of the United States, with the
blue field Of the shield in enamel. Below
them are the arms of Vermont, Dewey's
native state, with the motto, Freedom
and Unity" and the colors Of the shield
in enamel. The plain part of the gold col
lar is decorated with stars. and grace
full finish Is given to it by a narrow band
of oak leaves. The sword blade Is damas-
cened. with the inscription: The gift of
the nation to Rear Admiral George Dewey,
Z. s. N. in memory of the victory at Ma
Mia bay, May 1. 1898.
The sword grip is covered with fine
sharkskin. bound with gold wire and in
laid with gold stars. The guard is an
eagle terminating in claw. which grasps
the top in which the blade is set; the
eagles outstretched wings form the guard
proper.
The scabbard is of thin steel, damascened
in gold, with sprays of a delicate sea
plant, the ros marinus, typical Of fidelity,
consistency and remembrance. These sprays
are interlaced: stars fill the inner spaces,
dolphins the outer spaces
Sprays of oak leaves and acornS secure
the rings and trappings of the scabbard
above these on the front of the scabbard
is a raised monogram in diamonds entwin-
ing the letters sc. D. and immediate ly

GIFT OF A NATION
Centinued from Third Page.)

Grated steps where Lincoln stood; here,
standing between the statue of the first
President of the United States and him who
is it's living President today; here In this
beautiful city adorned with the statues Of
its statesmen and heroes, the number In
complete until your own Is added; here
amid this throng of citizens, who are only
type of the millions and millions more
who are all animated by the same spirit
of affectionate and grateful welcome.
cannot doubt that it is one of the proudest
days of your life, and know that 1t Is one
of the happiest in the heart of each one of
your fellow countrymen, wherever they are,
whether on-the continent or on the far-or
islands of the sea.
Now, following the authorization Of Con-
gress, I present this sword of honor which

go to you through the hand of one who in
his youth also periled his life and fought
for his country in battle. and who today
is the commander-in-c chief of all our armies
and navies, the President of the United
States.

PARADE WAS MAGNIFICENT.

Differing Features of Regular Ser
vice Turnout.
The parade was a glittering success in
every way as it passed along the avenue
to the Capitol. The SNOWY uniforms AMI
trappings sparkling in the bright sunshine
the dancing horses and the immense out
pouring of enthusiasm from the tremen-
dous crowds that lined the entire length
of the avenue, combined to make his
torical scene long to be remembered. A
constant storm of applause followed the
carriage containing Admiral Dewey and

spondents and others After the various
invited guests had assembled, and shortly
before II o'clock, they were formed in a
line, and with the members of the COM
mittee of one hundred proceeded to the
stand in front of the east entrance.
Photographs Taken.
If the proceedings in front of the Cap
ito today had been a Photographic con-
test the scene could not have differed
greatly from the one presented to the
view. When Admiral Dewey appeared on
the stand he was facing six photographers
mounted on high step ladders, two others
on the band stand, twenty-five feet from
him. while on specially-constructed plat
form ten feet high nine cameras were
pointed at him. Three of these cameras
were for biograph pictures. AS the day
was perfect one for snap shots the re-
suits were probably excellent. AS the
guests descended the Capitol steps to the
stand the clicking of the cameras could
be heard. and when the President and Ad-
m1ral Dewey came up they received bonn
bardment not only from these professional
photographers in their privileged positions
but from hundreds of cameras in the hands
of amateurs, stationed in all parts of the
Capitol grounds. 1t appeared as IL every
possessor Of a camera in the city had turn
ed out to make pictorial record of the
memorable occasion.
Dease Crowd.
Thousands Of people followed the parade
to the Capitol. and when they reached
the grounds swarmed over the plaza and
pushed and jostled each other to gain points
of vantage on the east front, where the
ceremonies took place.
There was dense crowd already in wait
ing. and when the crowd which followed
the parade arrived the big lawn was pack
ed. Along the main building and the north
and south wings there was living fringe
