Dewey Weck.N

New York, Sept. 25.-Flags are fly
ing by tens of thousands and from a
window in nearly every house in town
picture of Dewey's is displayed.
Thousands of visitors are already here,
and every arriving train adds to the
crowd. Hotel men say they have never
seen anything like it. At most Of the
hotels and boarding houses extraordi-
nary measures are being taken to care
for every person who Can be packed in.
The hotel proprietors insist that they
are charging the usual rates and are
not raising prices. Inquiry shows that
in many instances double rates are be-
ing charged. Rear Admiral Sampson
will take precedence over Rear Admiral
Schley in the land parade. This ques-
ton caused the reception committee no
embarrassment, as Sampson is here as
Rear Admiral on duty, while Schley
is detached and is guest OF the city.
1t is said that an effort was made to get
Sampson and Schley to ride together in
the same carriage. When the PROPOSE
ton was made to Schley, he declined.
SIMPSONS friends said he would, Of
course, refuse to ride with Schley. Sun
day was not day of rest for the man
at work on the arch. There is every
prospect that it will be finished on time.
The 4Sth Highland regiment will leave
Toronto, Ont, for New York on Friday
500 strong, to take part in the Dewey
reception. The Highlanders will be
accompanied by their pipe band and
will carry their colors.

IT is seen by the annual report of the
Virginia commissioner of labor that
there were great many more skilled
negro laborers in this State in the years
before 1861 than there are now, the rea-
son assigned being, that negro boys
now are seldom taught the trades fol-
lowed by their fathers. No, few or no
negroes are skilled nowadays; they are
unskilled, and are employed only on
the toughest and cheapest work, and
many of them who have that, are too
unreliable to retain it for any length OF
