year. Sometimes there would be an audi
ence of little friends and neighbors. some
times only dolls would be admitted.

 Long, Mr. Allen, the assistant secre-
 tary of the navy, left here late this af- ternoon for New York for the purpose

 president will present to Admiral Dew ey the sword awarded by congress. MT. Allen will learn the admiraPs wishes in this regard and will go over the sever al other features of the national cere-
 mony to be carried out when he ar- rives here including the details of the
 dinner the president will give to the
 admiral next Tuesday. Secretary Long returned to his desk at the navy de- partment to-day after months vaca- ton in Massachusetts He shared in the general interest and comment in cident to the return of Admiral Dewey
 and sent him personal message of
 greeting. Aside from the welcome to
 be extended no plans have been made
 as to the admirals future movement or duties. Secretary Long said no thought had yet been given to this matter as Admiral Dewey's wishes in this re-
 gard were not known.

SEAMROCK,S TRIALS OYER.
Will Not Go Out Again Until She Meets
 Columbia.

New York Sept 26.-The Shamrock's s trials are over and as yachtman said who saw her warped into the Erie basin at noon to-day nov her troubles begin" It was the intention of Sir Thomas Lipton, if the weather had been favorable this morning, to take the yacht out for a final spin, but the barometer took big drop this morn
 ing, and the rain, as Sir Thomas put it, "came down in bucketfuls." So at 9 o'clock the illoorings were cast off, and the Shamrock was lowed by the tug James Lawrence to the Erie basin where she was made fast to her old berth alongside pier near the dry dock. The Plymouth followed and the Erin will join the others tomorrow.
 The yacht will be docked at high water tomorrow about D. m., but she will have the big dock all to herself, for Sir Thomas and c. Oliver Iselin were unable to agree on the time for dock ing the yachts. Iseln insisted on Thursday. He will have his way and the Columbia will go into the dry dock at the navy yard on Thursday at high water, which will be about 80 p. m. Sir Thomas Lipton said to-day: 1T am very well pleased with the trials we have had of the Shamrock and I feel sure she will give good account of herself when the time comes You may say that she will not wear any petti- coats in the dry dock"

Opinions of London Papers.

London, Sept. 27.-Most of the morn ing papers comment editorially upon Admiral Deweys arrival at New York. The Morning Post says: "We con- gratulate the United States on having at time of national awakening to power and responsibility, so worthy an exponent of the combined ideas of pa- triotism and imperialism to whom to render homage
 The Daily News dealing with the Philippine situation says. Admiral Dewey ought to be able to give pre- cious counsel to his government in a difficulty which is rapidly depriving it of all the credit won by the war with Span.'
 The Daily Chronicle says: "Presi- dent Mckinley and his friends will possibly regard the popular welcome extended to Admiral Dewey with not little anxiety, owing to the contrast of Dewey's success with the floundering of Otis. If the democrats are wise, they will make Dewey their champion. He would be a formidable candidate for the presidency. General Alger had to be dragged from President McKin- ley like an eye-tooth. Will any dental operation induce him to give up the in- effectual Otis?" ~

Four boys from Providence were ar rested and locked up at the Grand ave- nue station house last night on the charge of vagrancy. Two of them were arrested at Belle dock, where they were turned over to the policeman by the boat officers. The boys gave their names as James Macklen and Ernest Calm. The other two were captured on Grand avenue by Patrolman B. J. Reil- ly. They gave the names of Joseph Hurly and Esdras Rivard.
