tary began his address, the sun was
shining directly in Admiral Dewey's
eyes, and, without his hat, he was at
it's mercy. The secretary quietly in
serted in his address low aside, "Ad-
miral, turn your chair little, we don't

An Ovation for Schley.
One of the most remarkable features
of the eventful day was the ovation
to Rear Admiral Schley, on the return
of the party from the capitol to the
white house. His carriage was several
numbers behind that Of the president
and Admiral Dewey's and he received an
ovation that scarcely ranked below that
accorded to the admiral himself. The
tumult grew as the carriage paced
down the avenue and the crowd surged
to foot pace. Finally a company of
the High school cadets came to the
rescue and formed about the carriage
in a hollow square. Thus protected
and f1anked by a force of police the
| carriage reached the white house with
| long gap between 1t and the next
| official guests. Out of the store of his
experience, the president was able to
give Admiral Dewey one valuable sug-
| gestion before leaving the capitol. The
venerable Cardinal Gibbons was pre-
sented, and after an exchange of greet
ings the president asked the admiral if
he felt equal to a general ordeal of
swerved from the shock. explaining
that his right arm was practically
| paralyzed from his experience in New
| York.

president. Hereafter you shake the

ting them get the grasp on you"

| Mr.. McLean's residence was made
| promptly at 10 o'clock. When the ad-
miral appeared resplendent in heavy
| jthrong assembled in the adjacent
| streets broke out into a long and loud
| cheer of applause.
Accompanied by an escort of police
| and committee headed by the Marine
| band the admiral was driven to the
| white house through cheering crowds
| The progress was slow and he repeat
| eddy bowed and smiled his acknowledge
| ment of the greetings. He entered the
white house grounds by the west gate
| and was shown in the white ROOM
where he was met by the president and
members of the cabinet. Only a few
minutes elapsed before the admiral re-
| appeared with the president and took
| seats in the white house carriage. The
members of the cabinet occupied the
next three carriages, Secretary Alger
| sitting with Secretary Long, and then
| followed the various officials who had
| been assigned places near the central
| figure of the demonstration.
| AS the carriages swept briskly into
Pennsylvania avenue there was blare
of bugle commands, a clash of bands
| and the great procession started, 1t
as the parade swung into the long
stretch of the handsome thoroughfare.
Miles at the Head.
At the head of the line rode Major
General Miles, commanding general of
the army, in the full uniform of his
rank with the yellow field marshaIs
sash from shoulder to hip. He was on
a superb gray horse, richly cararisoned.
Back of him was rank after rank of

light artillery. The mammoth eight
inch siege guns of the 18th artillery

crimson trappings of the artillery

as line after line of yellow plumed
troops rode by and then Dewey.
All that had gone before was but
brilliant prelude of the coming of the
man of Manila, who rode with the pres
ident on the way to the capitol to re-
ceive the nations tribute.
Mr.. Mckinley raised his hat only oc-
casionally, leaving to the admiral to
acknowledge the plaudits of the multi
tude by lifting his chapeau.
Deafening Cheers.
What an ovation from end to end!
The avenue rang with deafening cheers
and the banks of humanity took on life
and motion, as flags and handkerchefs
were waved madly. Following the adj
miral came the officers and men of his
ship of state. the Olympia, in double
ranks, stretching across the avenue.

navy and army.
The members of the cabinet rode In
carriages. With them were Captain
Lamberton, Flag Lieutenant Brumby
