WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Chairman
Moses of the committee of one hundred
having in charge the reception to Admit
raj Dewey on his arrival in Washington,
which includes the presentation of the
sword voted him by congress, has receiv-
ed from the admiral the following letter,
dated July %, approving the plans under
consideration for the affair:
Il have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of the Sth inst. in
forming me of the arrangements propos-
ed for my reception in Washington; also
of a telegram of similar import sent by
the secretary of the navy. | am deeply
sensible of the high honor your commit
tee proposes to confer upon me and have
telegraphed to the secretary that the ar
engagements approved by the president
and by him are entirely agreeable to me.
| note with pleasure that it is proposed
to make the exercises as simple as posi-
bic. 1t is impossible at this time to fix
the date of my arrival in, Washington,
but | will not fail to give you the infor-
nation on that point as soon as possible"
An interesting historical fact dating
back to 1873 has come to light in which
Admiral Dewey was the central figure.
Dewey, then a commander, was in COM
mand of the United States steamer Mar
ragansett on the Asiatic station, having
taken charge of the vessel on March l,
1873. The vessel was on surveying duty
when the Virginius trouble was precipi-
tated and war with Spain seemed immi-
nent. Commander Dewey wrote to the
navy department requesting that in case
war was declared he would be assigned
to the duty of capturing Manila. The
peaceful settlement of the controversy
with Spain avoided the necessity for a
hostile demonstration, but the interesting
fact is that the doughty officer had his
eye on Manila over a quarter Of centu-
ny ago. A search will be made for the
letter in the files of the navy department,
and if found it is expected an effort will
be made by the citizens committee to
have it reproduced as a souvenir of the
reception.

states that he is unable to fix upon any
definite time for his visit to Montpelier,
but hopes to come here soon after his ar

A Monument to General Stark.

PERU, VT, Aug. S.-The erection of a
monument to commemorate General
Stark's heroic march with 1000 men
through the wilderness to meet the in
vasion of the British at Bennington was
begun here yesterday with the laying of
the cornerstone amid exercises of espe-
cial interest and a large gathering of
country folk. Reuben Bigelow Burton,
Jr., of New York laid the cornerstone.
The site, which is made memorable by
the encampment of General Stark upon
it, lies a short distance north of this vii
lage. 1t is only small clearing on rising
ground. Around it on all sides is the
same wilderness of forest nearly as I'M
broken as on the day when General
Stark made his march through it.

TORNADO IN NEW JERSEY.

ELIZABETH, N. j., Aug. 3.-This

yesterday afternoon which cut a swatl

of the city, causing great damage tc
buildings and property; but, strange tt
say, not a person was killed, and no one
was seriously injured. Those who were
hurt were only slightly injured, appar,
emily no one badly enough to need the
attention of physician.
The path of the tornado included in its
course many of the prominent church
buildings and other structures, and no
other similar course could have been tax

ties of damage were as great.

Treaty Only Asleep.

Hon. l.. M. Bell, of Vinita ad-
dressed a large meeting in the
court room Wednesday afternoon
on the prospects of the Cherokees
effecting trade with the United
States after the failure of the re-
cent treaty before congress.
Mr.. Bell was one ofthe delegates
representing the Cherokee nation
in behalf of the ratification of the
treaty by congress. He stated
that the opposition to the treaty
was not as strong as many believe
but that the lack of time was the
main cause of its failure. The
two most Objectionable features
were the statehood clause and the
valuation of land. He believes
that it win be for the best interests
of the Cherokee people to arrange
for another treaty with Dawes
commission on the lines of the old
treaty with some notifications as
were indicated by those interested
in legislation for this country. BY
this plan it is believed that the
Curtis bill will be held in allowance
until such treatyis made, as the au-
thorities at Washington still con-
sidered the treaty as now pending
and that the failure of congress to
ratify it for want Of time was no
fault Of the Cherokees, and would
be unjust to strictly enforce the
provisions Of the Curtis bill until
congress- has acted on treaty
made By she Cherokees. Glare
