vite the admiral tC the festival exercises.
! This invitation Dewey declined, saying
| that it was necessary to so first to YER
uont and get little rest
Gen. Anderson is a personal friend OF
! Adurar Dewey, and after the formal
function was over he stopped Tor a chat.
Senator Proctor is authority for the
statement that Dewey's trip will prob
| ably be extended to the Pacific coast.
! The event will probably take place dur
ing November. as the Vermont trip will
! take at least three weeks.
1t is the intention OF the admiral to ac-
cept as many of the numerous invita-
tions as his time and health will permit.
Many cities will doubtless make an effort
to have him come, and elaborate enter
fainment will be provided The journey
| will assume the proportions of great
transcontinental triumphal tour.
In determining to take this trip, the
admiral has yielded to the urgent solici-
! taton of his friends, rather than con-
suited his own wishes. He has been told
! that the people are exceedingly anxious
| to get a grl1npse at him and to pay him
| hcncr. lie feels that to settle down per-
| manently i'll Washington without even
| taking off his hat to his many admiring
| friends would appear bit churlish.
