Admiral Dewey Takes New York by
 storm.

New York Oct. 1.-Millions of people,
 many of them from the hithermost parts
 of the earth, witnessed the welcome ac- corded Admiral Dewey by the city of l New York on Saturday, The admiral's progress, at the head of the big parade, l from the tomb of General Grant to the
 reviewing stand was literally one of glo- 1 rious triumph. The cheers with which | he was greeted, at times almost deafen- | ing, were given with the utmost power | of thousands of lusty threats and so | prolonged that the admiral rode bare headed most of the way. Now and then his lips twitched convulsively, and oc- | caslonally he wiped his eyes.
 From the presentation of the gold lov-
 ing cup at the city hall in the morning to the time the rear end of the process
 sion passed the triumphant arch at Twenty fourth street it was tedious
 time, but he bore all the different de-
 mands upon his patience with smiling
 grace and delightful nature. Not lit
 tie child put out it's tiny fist to be clasp
 ed but what Admiral Dewey found time
 to grasp it lovingly and say few brief
 words; in fact, his great good nature and amiability is one of the greatest of
 the admiral's many attributes.
 The ceremony at the city hall was per formed at o'clock The loving cup,
 magnificent gold affair, was presented
 by Mayor Van Wyck with appropriate words. Int steps of the building were
 thronged with prominent public men, who witnessed the ceremony.
 Immediately upon its conclusion Ad- ,,,tr Sandy Hook, which lay at the foot of Warren street and was taken up the Hudson to One Hundred and Twenty ninth street where he arrived at 10:3O in good season to start the parade off early. His arrival was the signal for wild cheering on the part of the crowd that had here assembled to see him, and there was immediately wild rush to- ward his carriage. It was all the police could do to keep it from being overrun The parade started at Ills amid the cheers of thousands of spectators. Fol lowing the splendid Sousa band, which discoursed martial music, came the car riage of the admiral drawn by four black horses. In it with him was May or Van Wyck The admiral looked at his best, his whole face seemingly lit up with pleasure. He wore the regula- tion admirals cooked hat and his clothes were fairly covered with gold cord and decorations
 Behind Dewey in carriages came his fighting captains of May 1, 1898, and then his staff. After them came Ad- miral Sampson and his staff, the cap tains of the North Atlantic squadron, then Rear 6poi,,aI md h; staff, followed by Rear Admiral Phillip and his staff and then a general collec- ton of guests, among whom were Ma jor Generals Miles and Merritt Rear Admiral Schley, Senator Depew, Rich ard Croker and the governors of the different states Both Sampson and Schley were tendered an ovation, con- tinuous, warm and hearty The line of march was damned with human beings, whose anxiety to get a good view of the | kept the police constantly at | work These latter, however, were pres | ent in overwhelming numbers and per | formed their task manfully Not a | building on either side of the street but | was gay with flags, bunting and pie lures of the admiral Fifth avenue from | Fltty-ninth street to the Dewey arch | presented most beautiful scene.
 When the carriage containing Admiral Dewey reached the arch at Twenty fourth street the admiral aIighted and entered the reviewing stand Here he stood patiently throughout the passing of the long line, raising his hat con- stantly and watching all with kindly interest. It was, half-pas five when last of the line had passed and the great parade was over.
