and receptions that have figured so prominently in the daily life of Ad-
 miral Dewey since his arrival off
 Sandy Hock last Tuesday morning,
 have proven almost too much for his
 strength. The admiral has t,9en under
 such perpetual Physical and nervous
 strain that he is now almost ex-
 hausted. Saturdays ceremonies were
 the most taxing on his strength of
 any that he has yet had to undergo,
 and he appeared today looking pale and
 worn, despite the fact that he retired early Saturday evening and enjoyed a good nights rest. The admiral today was too fatigued to do more than re-
 main in his room the greater part of the time and rest quietly At 10
 o'clock he had an enga cement to meet
 the Chicago Dewey committee, and before he came down he sent a mes sage to Mayor Carter Harrison re-
 questing that he be not expected to shake hands with the members of the committee. The admiral explained
 this request by saying that he had so
 much hand shaking on Saturday that
 his hand pained him severely.
 Admiral Dewey rose early this
 morning, however, sending for a cup of tea at o'clock. Shortly after he ordered a light breakfast, which was
 sent to his apartments and which he
 ate alone. When he had finished his hra lyfo ocf ha fO, I sician, Dr. Percy, who was closetei with him for a few minutes. Admiral
 Dewey later called on members of his family and his relatives and chatted
 with them fer fully an hour He I,a- ceived Mayor Van Wyck at o'clock Mayor Vau Wyck acted as the escort of the admiral throughout the day. He was present in his room; he escorted him down to the parlor where the Chi l cago delegation was to be rece:yeG, l, and was the only representative of the city in caring for it's gallant guest.
 There were many callers at the :. Waldorf who wished to send cards to | Admiral Dewey, but few .xeT;, permit l ted to do so, his fatigue being given as the reason. Promptly at 10 o'clock : Admiral Dewey came into the room. i He wore a civilian suit. The instant l he appeared there was a burst of ap- | plause. He saluted and said: Good i morning, all." He met Mayor liar rison as he advanced, with a cordial greeting. Mayor Harrison said:
 Admiral Dewey, I appreciate your dislike for set speeches and have there fore none to make. I only want to say that I thank you in behalf of the Chi cago committee for the honor done us by your receiving us here this morn ing. And now I wish, to extend to you, on behalf of tka committee and on behalf of the city of Chicago, an invitation to come to our city We wish you tc come to us whenever you may see fit. We make no specific time but we would be glad to have you with us On October g, when President Me Kinley is to be present at the laying of the corner stone of our new post of1ce''
 Admiral Dewey received the invita- tion that Maycr Harrison extended to him, and said: MT. Mayor and mem bers of the committee: The honor is mine. IconsidIer it a great honor to be waited upon by such delegation as this, and I consider it great honor that the invitation is put in such a nice way, allowing me to set my own | am soon due in Washington. Then I must go to Vermont. I must have some rest and I have not Eeen there l for years. It is my great regret that I { cannot go at once to your city.

It is great city, and during the last year some of the gran lest letters I l have ever received came from Chi eago. I thank you, MT. Mayor, and I hank you, hicagoans.
