Nothing Occurred to Mar

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-No Roman
conaueror returned to his triumph of bar
barrie splendor, no victorious king or
prince coming home from successful
war ever received such a magnificent
ovation as overwhelmed Admiral Dewey
yesterday as he stood on the bridge OF
the Olympia at the head of magnificent
feet of steel thunderers of the deep fol-
lowed by a thousand vessels of peace,
each TERED and coated black with people,
and sailed over the bright waters of the
upper bay and up the broad pathway Of
the sunlit river, whose banks were gay
with millions of flags and streamers
dancing in the wind.
The sky was blue, the water rippled
under the fresh wind that held out flags
straight and jaunty, and the wharfs and
piers and rocky heights and grassy knobs
were black with frantic, enthusiastic peo-
pie, who strived weakly to make their
shouts heard above the perfect bedlam Of
footing whistles that accompanied the
admiral ashore and afloat. At the state
ly mausolcum of Grant. on Riverside
drive, the fleet paid its tribute to the
memory of the great warrior with ma
tional salute of 2l roaring guns. The
feet then anchored and reviewed the al
most endless procession of craft that

Weapon Voted by Congress Present.
ed by the President.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The culmi-
nation Of Admiral Dewey's triumphal
home coming was reached in the shade of
the dome of the national capitol. There
he received from the hands of the presi-
dent the magnificent jeweled sword voted
him by congress in commemoration Of
the victory of Manila bay. This was the
official provocation for the ceremony.
But mere official sanction could never
have thrown into the demonstration the
fervor of enthusiasm that was meted out
to the admiral as he appeared before the
vast audience, composed not only of all
the highest officials in the land. but of
spectators drawn from every quarter of
the United States. The battle of Manila
Bay was not forgotten, but ii might be
said to have been relegated almost to sec
ond place in the desire to do honor to the
man who had proved himself as great
after victory as before it and who had
shown in the long and trying months
that followed his naval triumph the quail
tiles of statesman and II wise admins
traitor as well as those of the leader of a
victorious fleet.
The sword presented to the admiral, eX-
cept its steel blade and the body metal
of its scabbard is entirely of % carat
gold. On the pommel is carved the name
of the warship Olympia. which was
Dewey's flagship at Ala4lila, and the zodi-
acal sign for December, in which lucky
month Dewey was born. Circling these
is Il closely woven wreath of oak leaves,
long employed To indicate and adorn
rank. Below these the pommcl is EN-
braced by n gold collar, on the front of
which are the arms OF the United States,
with the blue field of the shield in enam-
el. Below them are the arms of Vermont,
Dewey's native state, with the motto,
Freedom and United" and the colors of
the shield in enamel. The plain part of
the gold collar is decorated with stars,
and graceful finish is given to it by n
narrow band Of oak leaves. The sword
blade is damascened with the inscrip-
ton:
'"rhe Gift of the Nation to Rear Ad-
miral George Dewey, T. :. n, in Mem
ory OF the Victory ut Manila Bay, May
|, 1895"
/ The sword grip Is covered with fine
sharkskin, bound with gold wire and in.
laid with gold stars. The guard is an ea.
gle terminating in n claw, which grasps
the top in which the blade is set. The ca
gles outstretched wings form the guard
proper.

Col. Bell, the United States consul at

Admiral Dewey went up on the after
bridge as soon rs the start was made
and remained there throughout the pa

skies for the thousands atloat and ashore
With him on the bridge most of the time

Night turned into day by the brilliancy
of the long miles of fireworks stretching
in every direction about the city marked
the close Of the first day of the city's Of
fetal welcome to Dewey.
Long before the hour set for the un-
parallelcd public displays. rockets and
roman candle balls were flying over the
housetops everywhere.
Broad bands of piercing light darted
here, there, everywhere-the flashlights
were playing from hundred places.
Thousands watched the glittCiing dis
play on the Brooklyn bridge, the lights
on the "Wclcome Dewey" having been
turned on early.
Both rivers were ablaze with boats
with every light turned on. Many had
long strings of electric bulbs shining in
the rigging. and the scene was like a
Venetian fete.
