Hor1sON sans ron NEW YORK.
He May Reach Here on His Flagship In
limo to Welcome Dewey.


WASHINGTON. Sept 21.-while the Navy De-
partment has disposed to its own satisfaction
OF the idea that the arrival nj Rear Admiral
Howison at New York In the flagship Chicago,
concdent with or prior TO the arrival OF
Admiral Dewey. will cause considerable EN-
barrassment on account OF the seniority
OF Admiral Howison over Rear Admiral
Sampson. who has been designated to COM
mand the welcoming fleet. much interest was
shown there to day over the fact that Admiral
Howson has started from Barbados for Now
York. AZ The BUN has already told. the only
possible interruption OF the programme
arranged that could come from the presence Of
Admiral lIowison. would bs his assertion OF
his right OF seniority over Sampson. This no
will not do. OF course.
With that question at rest the Department Of
fcas have had their interest in Howison's
movements revived by the chance that 10 af-
forded OF the Chicago reaching New York by
the time Dewey gets there. The distance from
Barbados to New York Is 1923 miles. The
Chicago Ia apparently bound. under the naval
regulations to proceed at the most econom ical
rate OF speed. in this case ten knots an hour. or
24O knots day. II will. therefore. at this rate.
take the Chicago nearly eight full days to reach
New York. But 1t is by no means
certain that the Chicago will adhere to the
economical rate With little more pushing
she could reach New York by the time Dewey
arrives. and thus be able to participate in the
first greeting to him. something that is proba-
bly, very dear to Howison's heart. as he and
Dewey entered tho naval service together,
were schoolmates at the Naval Academy. are
within lees than three months OF the same
age. and have been lifelong friends. SO the
Navy Department will undoubtedly overlook
any failure OF Howison to keep his speed down
