 meeting and hurried out again in a fut- ter of agitation.
 But the universal feeling was one of welcome and of determination to make that welcome not only sympathetic, but as harmonious, orderly and impressive as If the admiral had not sighted land more than AS hours before he was expected.
 Lipton His First Caller.
 The day was filled with series of welcomings. The first of these in an of 6cial way was a formal call upon Admi- ral Dewey by Rear Admiral Sampson, commanding the north Atlantic squad ron, who went out to the Olympia on the dispatch boat Dolphin. The meeting between Dewey and Sampson was one of elusive cordiality. But ere this formal call of etiquette it was an odd incident, though apropos of that international friendship which is to find amicable ex- pression in a sportsmanlike contest for the America's cup, that the first man to board the Olympia and greet in person the admiral was the owner of the yacht Shamrock, Sir Thomas Lipton.
 Rear Admiral Sampson said that he was delighted with the evident good health of the admiral and that he had told him that he looked much younger than his portraits made him appear.
 Admiral Dewey is delighted" said Rear Admiral Sampson, ''as is every one aboard. to reach his native shore again. He is much moved by the great kindness and enthusiasm of the people and, though shrinking from too much ceremony and public display, feels deeply the regard of which these are the outcome. In fact, he feels and expresses himself precisely as a man of his fine and modest tempera- ment may be expected to do. The coun- try honors in him these fine qualities as well as those sterner ones which have given him his fame."
 Committee Greet. Him.
 It was after 4 o'clock in the afternoon when the subcommittee of the civic recep- tion committee, on board the police boat Patrol, reached the side of the Olympia to convey to the admiral the official well come of the city and to consult with him as to the arrangements for his reception. The admiral expressed his pleasure in re- ceiving these callers and placed himself entirely at the disposal of the committee, which at once returned to the city.
 This means that there will be no change of importance in the programme as ap- nounced elsewhere. The Olympia lay at anchor last night off the Horseshoe, in- sue Nuuuy I1OOk. Al O CLOCK IQlS morn ing 1t is expected that the flagship will weigh anchor and steam up to the usual naval anchorage of Tompkinsyille. Pra- tique has been already granted, so that the Olympia need not stop at quarantine, as was Dewey's original intention. Rear Admiral Philip, who also extend ed official greetings to Admiral Dewey yesterday, may receive the honor of return call by the admiral at the Brook lyn navy yard today. If that happens, the admiral will then and there actually set foot upon his native soil, which he has been so efficient in expanding" for more than Il year.
 It is significant that in all his utter ances of qualification at his welcome Ad- miral Dewey uses the first personal pro noun in the plural. It is always "we'- meaning his officers and men-never "I." The signal All well" displayed by the Olympia on her arrival of Sandy Hook, was not literally correct. She has II slight cases of typhoid among the crew. These patients may be brought ashore to hospital today.
 It is estimated that more than 1,0oO,- 900 visitors had reached the city last night. The arrival of hundreds of thou sapds more will be hastened. by the news
