People Turned AWAY.

The card clerk at the Office sent up
stairs to Admiral Dewey's apartments
several hundred cards, and refused to
send up nearly as many more. No one
was permitted to disturb the admiral
Even his relatives, not excepting his
brother Charles, kept away, hoping
that their absence from his SIDE would
have some weight with the outsiders
and keep everybody away.
Along about o'clock a party OF
three turned UP at the desk and hand
ed three cards to the clerk. Upon them
were inscribed the name of Captain w.
H. Breeder, u. S. N; Captain George
c. Reiter, U. S. N, and Charles Cramp
of Philadelphia. The admiral invited
them up and they remained with him
twenty minutes. Captain Reeder, who
is commandant Of st. Mary's navy
yard, said they were all old friends of
the admiral.
At o'clock the admiral dined with
his brother Charles and wife, his son,
George, and Lieutenants Brumby and
Caldwell. The admiral retired at $50.

Charles Dewey, later in the day, that

drug to boy of tender years. officer
Palmer instigated the raid. He saw
the boy go into the place and secured
evidence that he had procured some
hop from the Chinaman. He took the
young fellow out, and after a severe
lecture, he was allowed to so home.
The boy claimed that he had gone to
the place in search Of friend. and de-
MED that he had smoked any of the
drug. When Palmer appeared the Ce-
lestials scattered in all directions. but
the proprietor returned later in the
night, to fall into the arms Of PATROL

MARK Is FOR M,KINLEY.
Throws Cold Water Upon the Dewey
Presidential Talk.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 1.-The Post to-
morrow will say: United States Sena-
tor Mark Hanna says this of the pos
sibility of Admiral Dewey for the pres
idency:
1.-The practice of continuously placing
the name Of Admiral Dewey on the list
of prospective presidential candidates is
indecent. 1t is an insult and a great
injustice to the hero of Manila, as he
himself has frequently said that moth
ing in the world would induce him TO
run for president or any other political
office.
'To force upon this brave and gall
liant soldier the need of again and again
declaring he will not accept any polit-
ical Office is, in my opinion, contempti-
BILE, and places this man of integrity,
stern purpose and determination in the
ranks of those shifting aspirants for
political honors who have not the STAN
ina to resist the flattery or blandish-
ments of political schemers.''
The senator, when asked if Mr. Nc
Kinley would positively be a candidate
for the presidency again, said every
thing pointed that way.

tween the admiral and the enthusiastic
westerner, saying, as he placed his
hand on the mans Shoulder:
Don't do that. please; don't ask
Admiral Dewey to shake hands this
morning"
The man stepped back into the
crowd. Admiral Dewey seemed much
embarrassed by the incident, and he
first held out his hand. and then with
drew il. Mayor Van Wyck then seized
the opportunity thus offered to get
away, and placing his hand under the
elbow of Admiral Dewey's right arm,
escorted him out through the door.
AS Admiral Dewey was leaving. the
room there was a burst of applause.
and he turned and waved a salute with
his hand as he disappeared behind a
heavy curtain.
Was Well Pleased.
Mayor Harrison expressed himself as
well pleased with the reception given
him and the committee. When asked
il he thought Admiral Dewey would go
to Chicago, he looked surprised and
said:
GO; of course he will. Did not he
say he would go some time2 That's all
we care for, to get his promise to go
whenever he pleased.
Ferdinand w. Peck, United States
commissioner 10 the rams eAPOsleion,
was among the Chicagoans today, and
said

county and the state"
The corridors of the Waldorf-Astoria
We're thronged all day with people anx-
ious to catch even glimpse of the
great admiral. Early in the morning
they began to come in, and they were
coming and going all day. But none
of them was given the pleasure of see
ing Dewey. He was not down in the
corridors of the hotel at any time.
When he was escorted to the room to
meet the Chicago delegation. he was
taken down private stairway, and re-
turned the same way. In every con-
ceivabie manner his movements were
guarded to keep the curious crowd from
getting near him.

ENGLAND SHOULD PAUSE.
Transvaal Leaders Want to Know

AIdnSNddl AcdQGTS w dnC 20 AnOW
What There Is to Fight About.
London, Oct 2.-The Pretoria cor
respondent of the Daily Chronicle, tele-
graphing at noon Sunday says:
Il have seen the leading members of the
executive of the Transvaal, who desire
through the Daily Chronicle, at the last
moment, to ask what the two kindred ma
tons are going TO fight about. They point
TO the fact that large number of Out
landers of all nationaiIties are arming in
defense of the republic. They point to the
unanimity of feeling in the Orange Free
State, which, they say, should make Eng
land pause.
They aim at union with England like
that OF Scotland, not Ireland. and they
urge that it will be war like the war
which lost England her American colonies
and that it viii benefit neither England
nor the capitalists.
The greatest excitement prevails here
Thirty-siX trains with armed burghers
were dispatched yesterday Saturday.,
amid terribly pathetic scenes. Thousands
of refugees, white, Malays and Kaffirs,
have gone 10 the Cape in open trucks.
Strict orders have been issued 10 the Boer
commanders on the frontier to restrain
their men from firing. The rains have be-
gun 80 fall and plenty of forage will soon
be obtainable."
