DECORATIONS FOR THE
DEWEY RECEPTION
Pennsylvania Railroad Company Will
Contribute an Electric Arch
and All Piers VIII Be
Decorated
Decorated

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Chairman Foster
of the Dewey reception committee said
to-day that a letter had been received
from the president of the Pennsylvania
Railway Company promising to comply
with the wishes of the committee in re-
gard to the decoration Of the company's
property.
The company promises to decorate the
end of it's pier with a design in electric
lights in the form of a double arch with
the words welcome to Dewey which
will be seen all over the harbOr. The COM
pany will also decorate with flags its 9TH
er piers and the steamship companies
have promised to decorate their piers on
the Jersey side in similar manner. so
that there will be an appropriate display
on both sides Of the river on the occasion
of the celebration,
It was decided to have five or ten thou
sand children al Grants tomb on the sec
ond day of the Dewey celebration. They
will be formed into square and will sing
songs in honor of the admiral. This is
substitute for the children's parade, which
was at first proposed.

real objection coming. 1t would have no
fees coming either, which is an incident
in the case. It is this incident the legal
fraternity is saying that caused the disso-
luton. One fee, however large, divided
among Page, McCutcheon, Eells, Harding
and Michael, all full partners, would not
amount to so much individually as the
same fee divided between Page and Nc
Cutcheon, full partners, and Harding and
Knight, side partners
Mr.. Page declares that the deal was
commenced three months ago. 1t was Just
about the time Tevis was reported as be-
ing very seriously i'll, and so it could have
had nothing whatever to do with his will
for he had not died. The dissolution took
place about a week ago, according to Mr.
Page, perhaps day or so after the death
of Tevis, which occurred on the night of
July "a, but the will had nothing to do
with it. It was simply because the firm
could make more money by separating
than by continuing on as it had been do
ing.
Michael was away on his vacation when
he received his notification of dissolu-
ton. When he returned the letter was
waiting for him at the University Club
1t merely stated that the firm had been
dissolved, but it was hoped that fact
would not interfere with his vacation.
Mrs. Sharon is due to arrive here any
day. AS soon as she appears the will will
be opened and then It will go to some
lawyer. The new firm has no idea
whether or not it will get the testament,
but If it does. it being an entirely new
organization, the old firm can have no
claims upon 1t.

OPIUM FACTORY SEIZED.

Special Internal Revenue Agent Burt NJ
Thomas and posse seized a Chinese opium
factory at No. 10 Washington alley yes
terday. The inmates, except the cook,
fed by rear passage before the officers
succeeded in gaining an entrance. The
factory was owned by Man Sing, and he
will be arrested as soon as he can be
found. No one except American citizens
are allowed to manufacture opium III the
United States, and even then must pay
a revenue tax of $40 per pound for the
privilege of making an article that can
be obtained for 81 per pound. In a panel
in the wall Deputy Collector Gilchrist
found seventy-five five-tael tins of pre-
pared opium ready for shipment
