the commandments of all our
armies and navies, the President OF the
United States"
AS Secretary Long concluded he
passed the sword to President McKin-
ley. The latter rose and faced the
Admiral. Dewey was visibly affected,
and brushed his gloved hand across
his eyes before standing at attention.
The President said:
admiral Dewey: From your en-
trance into the harbor of New York
with your gallant crew and valiant
ship, the demonstrations which have
everywhere greeted you reveal the
public esteem of your heroic actions
and the fullness of 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 with all my heart. Your
victory exalted American valor and
extended American authority. There
was no flaw in your victory; there will
be no faltering in maintaining it.
Great applause.) 1t gives me ex-
treme pleasure and great honor, in be-
half of all the people, to hand you
this sword, the gift of the nation, vot-
ed 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 re.
ceived it.
The crowd was hushed as he turned
to reply. He said:
Il thank you, Mr.. President, for the
great honor you have conferred.
thank the Congress for what it has
done. l thank the Secretary of the
Navy for his gracious words. l thank
my countrymen for this beautiful gift,
which shall be an heirloom in my
family forever, as an evidence that
Republics are not ungrateful, and
thank you, Mr.. Chairman, and gentle
men of the committee, for the gra.
cious, cordial and kindly welcome
which you have given me to my
home"
The band played "The Star-Span-
gled Banner" and then Cardinal Glib
bons pronounced the benediction.
Following the benediction the ar
rangements for the review of the mill
tary escort by Admiral Dewey were
carried out.

Steamboat Excursion to Seattle.

Perhaps the most enjoyable trip of
the season will be furnished US upon
the day the transports, bearing
our soldier beys, are reported off Port
Angeles. The Multnomah will leave
Olympia about 6 A. NJ. and will make a
straight run to Seattle via the west
passage, arriving in the Queen City in
three and one-half hours. She will
land those who wish to spend their
time with friends in the city and soon
rs the ships are reported off West
Point will Join the fleet of Sound
steamers and accompany the big troop
ers from that point into the city.
This will enable Olymplans to join in
the first greeting extended the boys,
to see " troop-ship" under way, and
possibly to greet friend among the
soldiers, who once ashore will be swal-
lowed in the crowd.
The Multnomah will make a night
run home to accommodate those who
wish to be in this city the following
day; however this does not imply that
you must return on that particular
trip, as tickets will be good on both
steamers for three days, and it is the
intent of the company to give Olym-
plans every opportunity to see "the
whole show"
The first issue of tickets will be on
sale at Ross drug store, and O'Con-
nor's news depot, and will number 300.
This issue will entitle the holder to
transportation on the Multnomah
which will be the first boat to depart,
the second issue will cover transport
tation on the City of Aberdeen, num-
bering 125. On the return trip pas
sengers will take either steamer.
Owing to the fact that there will be
more or less difficulty in procuring
meals at the restaurants, or hotels,
lunches will be served aboard the
steamers at a reduced rate.
The management desires us to an.
nounce that the above mentioned
ticket arrangement will be strictly
adhered to, those making first pur-
chase OF tickets will have choice of
boats, and will be protected therein.
The round-trip rate, including three
day lay-over privilege, and special trip
to meet the ships, will be one dollar.

Dewey Poems.
With a feeling tingcd with sadness,
the STANDARD contemplatcs the fact
that among all It's talented correspond.
ents, there is neither a poet nor :, poet
cs> capable oi wrestling with the
Dewey reception craze. As per- conse-
gYe9tid, we must be content with max
ing a brief selection or two from more
fortunate contemporaries.
This weeks instalment consists OF
two verses OF an ode entitled dewey
Coming Home" and is taken from
that standard OF current literature
the P-i., the exact date being its issue
OF the 18th ult. The poem was writ
ten ay Lou Vernon, presumably lady
contributor, and the first stanza starts
off as follows:
Admiral George DeweY.
Coming home they say.
Bring out the anvils,
Let's have a holiday.
Shoot up colorcd rockets.
Turn the searchght high,
See the name OF Dewey
A-blazing in the sky.
Now that is high enough surely for
even Puget Sound Poet to land her
muse-or its inspiration-at a first
toss-up-" A-blazing in the sky" One
would naturally expect, with this high
elimination of the first stanza, that
the notes of the fair caliope would
continue to reverberate through the
whole gamut of the mavis in her even
tide song. But alas! the singer makes
a descent that is astonishingly rapid,
if not altogether undignified. 1t will
be seen that she turns her attention to
mundane affairs in an exceedingly
commonplace manner. She says:
Didn't need bath tub
On his Manila trip:
Didn't boast of fighting,
Never had the grip:
Sank the Spanish navy
In a manner that was new:
Honored grand "Old Glory
Did it ship-shape, too.
1t IS the privilege, however, for poets
and poetesses to do unusual things
but it does seem little queer that the
enchantress should have considered il
her duty, in arriving at just appre.
citation of Dewey's angelic character
to adopt the crude idea suggested by
the line informing US that he didn't
need a bathtub, on his trip to Manila
The inference is that he has not need.
