DEWEY DAY.

An account of the magnificent naval
display in New York harbor yesterday
was published in the Gazette of that
day.
"Astonishing," said Admiral Dewey,
as he saw the wonderful sight from the
bridge of the Olympia. His modesty
did not desert him and he said nothing
of himself.
1t is not beyond the mark to say 81
100000 people viewed the pageant from
ashore, and that $50, 900 were ahoat.
The parade was an immense marine
picture, water pageant, that appealed
to the eye as paioting rather than a
drama.
The first division of the escorting
column was composed of ninety-fve
steam yachts under command of Com
modore j. Pierpont Morgan, with the
flagship Corsair. The second division
consisted of the merchant marine. The
third division was made up of barges,
tugs and unattached vessels.
New York city and the surrounding
country was ablaze with fireworks last
night, when the official pyrotechnic
display in honor of Admiral Dewey was
given. Even the heavens seemed wrap.
ped in fire.
From eight different places in Great
er New York fireworks were exhibited
by city committee, the grsndest dis
play being at the Battery. Admiral
Dewey witnessed tie display at
Grants tomb. Governors of ID dozen
States, New York State and city off,
Gals, host of army and navy men and
number of foreign notables witness ed
the display from special points OF van
tage.
Viewed from the roofs of any OF the
high buildings down town, New York
appeared an enchanted city. The great
buildings were bright with light and
gorgeous color. On the rivers were
fairy barges--in the sky, flashing shafts
OF blue. The water seemed to be o!
fame; even the entrances to the piers
might have been the portals of fiery
gardens. Brooklyn bridge Was halo
of glory from end to end, the chief fea
ture being an electrical display of the
words welcome DeweyW Great
searchlights played from Brooklyn over
the East river. Other searchlights threw
their fans oyer the southern and north
ern skies. The newspaper buildings
along Park Row were especially beauti-
full sdd brilliant. The illumination was
arranged by an official city committee,
and was carried out on scale which, it
is said, had never previously been at
tempted in this country.

Talk ofPolar EXPEDITIONS.

Berlin, Sept. 30-Prince Hohenlohe
Thursday evening told General Greedy
that he was glad to say that the rela.
tons between Germany and the United
States were now firmly re-eslablished
on the friendliest footing. The Con.
gress yesterday discussed the German
and British expeditions to the South
Pole. DR.. Nansen, who was greeted
with vociferous cheering. spoke OF the
utility of dogs and urged that the yes.
sells should be made as strong as pos
sible, saying it was better to have seve.
raj small ships than one large one. He
considered it to be of the greatest
importance that Germany and Great
Britain should act in unison.

what the Admiral had, would have said
under like conditions.
Mayor VISA Wyck, ia reply, said:
"Admiral, no tongue Can ever utter

That was what none but twin
