CHORUS OF SONG FOR DEWEY.
Damrosch Led 200 Voices in a Trlb-
ute TO the Hero.

New York, Sept 28.-Twelve hundred
strong the Peoples Choral Union, led by
Frank Damrosch, paid tribute of song
tonight to the sea heroes. About 700 of
the singers were women. In the steamer
Warwick they left the pier at Beekman
street at TAO p. m, and forty minutes
later the Warwick lay TO fifty yards from
the stern of the Olympia.
MY Country, 'Tis of Thee" was the
first number and soon as 1t was over the
Jackies and officers expressed their ap-
probation by three hearty cheers and
tiger.
Then the flashlights played and showed
the admiraPs flag at the masthead Three
cheers erose from the Warwick and then
The ] POO singers broke forth into the stir
ring strains Of "see, the Conquering Hero
Comes" The hand of the Olympia played
the star spangled Banner and the band
on the Warwick joined in.
Three cheers for Dewey" some one on
the Warwick called, and roar went up
from the dim dark line along the rail- of
the olympia as well as from the excursion
boat The union next sang the "Hallelu-
tah," chorus from "The Messiah" by
Handel as the Warwick drew away, but
the anxiety of the singers to crowd the
bow and try 10 got a glimpse of the admi-
raj cut the singing short Further away
The Warwick drew and the singers united
IN the fine music of Men of Harech."
That was well under way when
the national colors were run up
on the stern of the Olympia and with the
searchlghts ful on Old Glory IT was
gracefully dipped by way Of salute and
thanks.
The "Star-Spangied Banner" again rang
out in swelling chorus and that was the
singers goodnight to the great admiral.
Then Rear Admiral Sampson's ship, the
New York, was sought out, while along
the line of warships, starting with the
Olympia, red and white signal lights wink
ed busily, passing the word to give the
choral union a fitting reception. But
whatever the signals the New York's
crew gave the singers warm welcome as
they approached, singing the Battle
Hymn of the Republic" The New York's
searchlights were turned on the singers
and they cheered for Sampson and were
answered with cheers by the crew. Tnen
somebody on the Warwick called out three
cheers for Admiral Schley, and the an
swerlng shout was fully as loud as that
which went before Then followed the
Hymn Of Thanks" "Halelujah Hymp."

Il have noticed in all the interviews
Dewey has given on this subject that
while he says he is a sailor and not in
politics and would not seek the nomina-
llon' he, at the same time, has not said ne
would not accept il. He will certainly not
seek the nomination and not enter parii-
san politics, but I am firmly of the opin-
ION that he would accept the nominatioS
u rendered him. He for President and Joe
w heeer for Vice President is the ticket
that would sweep the country. Indeed,
Dewey would be elected, no matter by

ELLSWORTH MAY GO.

j. Lewis Ellsworth may not be a
member of the inspectors Of cattle and
provisions the coming year. When the
finance committee postponed eonsidera-
ton of the salary question in that
board few evenings ago, it was with
the idea that the board could be made
smaller and thus require a smaller APP
preparation. 1t was felt that if the
services Of any man We're required. the
compensation could lot very well be
less than the sum which is paid each
man now, $500 year. 1t was thought
however, that the board might be re-
duced and the cost of it's maintenance
decreased. Such will be the probable
action, and II any of the present mem
bers are reappointed, John P. Streeter
ana Thomas Monaman will be the
men.
The plan is to have G. Herbert De-
Fosse do the clerical work of the board
and attend to the office. thus allowing
MI. Streeter time in which to attend
to inspecting. The greater part of the
inspection of cattle and meat is now
done by Mr.. Monahan Mr. Ellsworth
IS Obliged to attend the session of the
legislature, and Mr.. Streeter is also in
spector of milk, which requires consid-
eraple time in the Office at the city
hall. BY placing Mr., Derosse in charge
OF the office, Mr. Streeter can go out
side. Mr.. DeFosse, who is sealer of
weights and measures for the CITY. oc
supies the same office as the inspectors
1t was to effect that arrangement that
the consideration of the sealer's salary
was postponed.

In Salaries May Be
Attempted
FOR CITY OFFICIALS
Compressed Air to Be Used
at Green Street Tunnel.

When the salary bill comes before
the city council it would not be surpris-
ing if an attempt was made to increase
the salaries of more than one official
in the city hall. A member of the city
council told The Spy man yesterday
that he believed two officials, Harrison
P. Eddy. superintendent of sewers, and
+. A. Mcclure, city engineer, should
get more money than they do.
He said the city of Worcester does not
pay as high salaries as other cities for
the work which is done, and claims
that both these officials have done a
vast amount of extra work during the
year. Not only that but they will have
to do it during the coming year. The
councilman said he knows positively
that officials in Worcester have been
wanted for other situations at eonsid-
erably more salary than they have re-
ceiyed here, in one instance just dou-
BILE the figures. They 40 not leave
Worcester because all their interests
are centred here and they hesitate over
breaking from them even at an in
creased salary. The only increase on
the salary bill which the committee on
finance recommends il enc of 5000 for
assistant city clerk. An attempt was
made to reduce the salary of City
Treasurer Fred w. White to $2500, but
a substantial majority Of the commit
tee thought he should receive the fig
ures which Mr.. Barton received last
year, $3000

CHANGE THE QUARTERS.
Members Of Bar and Officials Favor
Change.

The general expression of lawyers
who visited the central district court
room yesterday was that it is about
time to move the court room from its
present location over the police sta
ton. Whatever was said yesterday
was merely general expression from
members Of the bar but there is a
possibility that another movement
may be started to have tho court moved
TO some other locality, possibly the
new court house. II ts.
Several years ago a petition was
drawn up and generally signed by law

TO USE COMPRESSED AIR.

The shaft at the corner Of Green and
Winter streets with which the sewer
department has had trouble on account
OF quicksands, is being connected with
the compressed air engine at the corner
or Water and Pond streets by means of
three-inch cast iron pipe. Compress
ed air, which is the motive power Of the
engines and other apparatus used in the
tunnels now being built, will be carried
through the pipe several hundred feet
at a pressure of about 10 pounds. The
engine at the shaft at the corner of
Green and Winter streets will be run
by compressed air. The main object in
bringing compressed air to that shaft
is to enable the department to tunnel
through the quicksand. No attempt
mas yet been made to start the drift al
that shaft on account Of the danger
which would result from the QUICK
sand. BY using compressed air Super
intendent Of Sewers II. p. Eddy saws
he will cut the tunnel without causing
any danger TO the surrounding houses.
A pressure Of from three to five pounds
will be maintained in the shaft and
tunnel. A floor will be put in about
midway down the shaft, which will be
air tight or practically so. The com
pressed air will be forced into the space
under this flooring and will hold the
sand in place while the work is going
on. until the sewer has been built,
incidentally this il practically the
same operation that would be REQUIRED
in tunneling for the depression of Mill
brook which the grade crossing com
