Boston, August 1.-The board of al
dermen Tuesday passed an order re-
curing the board OF estimate and ap-
portionmenI to appropriate 4
sum sufficient for extending the
hospitality OF the city of Ros-
ton to Dewey. Alderman Michael
Brick democrat, foWibly opposed the
measure. He said. in explanation; Il
do not think we should throw ourselves
into state OF adultation of the hero
because he has won a battle. 1t hardly
strikes me that Admiral Dewey is to
be put in the same category with
Grant, Sherman and other great mill
tary heroes. do not, however, wish
to discredit him in the least but do
protest against making him second
Boulanger in America.
Watching for Dewey.

Chicago, August Information that
Admiral Dewey would probably acceot
the invitation conveyed to him at
Trieste to visit Chicago for the fall feS-
tival has been received by Postmaster
Gordon in a private cablegram. The
news brought qualification to the men,
bers of the festival committee They
expect to receive fuller particulars in d
few days from Congressman Foss, who
,l 10 40 n
vitation TO the admiral and who
is expected to cable the result of his
efforts before he sails for this country,
1t has been already arranged by the
committee to run two special trains
from Washington to bring prominent
guests to the fete. One train will carry
President Mckinley and members of
his cabinet while the other Will be

1t is now proposed to lease another

to the information received by Post

rive in New York Sept. 2S and go to
Washington Oct. 3. There he will be
entertained by President Mckinley for
