the length of the celebration in New York,
which is still unsettled. The principal
features OF the reception in Washington
as planned by the citizens, with the CO.
operation of the President and Cabinet
will be two in number-the presentation
of the sword voted by Congress and a
night parade. A public reception at the
White House will be followed by dinner
to the Admiral by President Mckinley.
The sword will be presented by Secretary
Long, the east front of the Capitol, in
the presence of Mr.. Mckinley and all the
members of the Cabinet, late in the aft
ernoon, while the parade, consisting of or
CARNATIONS of all kinds, will be accompa-
MED by illumination of the city on
scale of beauty never before witnessed In
Washington.
The different features Of the prepara-
tions are in the hands of a central body
of citizens and eleven committees, en-
bracing in all over a thousand people.
Preparations for the celebration have
been in hand for over a month.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and
other railroads entering Washington have
agreed upon cheap rates for the ceIebra-
ton, and the committee expects that there
will be outpouring of patriotic citizens
