New York, Sept. 2s.-Beginning to-
day there will be a real crush in the
New York hotels. Practically all of
ity last night, but thousands of persons
who engaged quarters weeks and
months ago will arrive in the city to-
day to claim them. Other thousands,
who were accommodated last night
With the understanding that they
should seek other quarters today, will
be turned out to shift for themselves.
Governors, captains of the vessels in
Dewey's fleet, members OF the cabinet
and officers high in the navy will ar
rive in the city today. Quarters for all
of the city's guests have been provided,
but all others who come today to seek
rooms in the hotels will be turned
away.

Missouri and secretary of the interior

the Hoffman house.
Governor Wells, of Utah, will make
his headquarters at the Hotel Neither
lands; Governor Bushnell, of Ohio, at
the Majestic and Governor Richards, of
Wyoming, at the Parker.
Estimates as to the number of Wis

100000 to 100000. The railroads
agree that unless weather conditions
are most unfavoruble there will be
2,ooo,000 visitors here on Friday and
Saturday. This means that the rail-
roads and ferries will have to handle
such crowds as never before.

is expected on Thursday night.
