DEWEY IS THE IDOL
Everybody WanfS 10 Be on inc Re.
 CeptiOn Committee.

l New York, May 23.-In years gone
 by in making arrangements for public functions which require the supervis- ion Cf citizens committees, the mayor Of New York has had trouble in secur- ing 200 or 800 men of prominence who would serve. Personal appeals in many cases were necessary, and there have been occasions where not moro than twenty-five members of a com mittee of 200 could be prevailed upon to attend a meeting. That species of embarrassment is not bothering Mayor Van Wyck in the makeup of a citi- zens' committee to take charge of the reception to Admiral Dewey. His first idea was to select 800 men, and the newspapers so announced, but when the mayor looked over his mail the next morning he concluded to enlarge the committee to 600
 The following day his honor looked with favor upon a suggestion to increase the committee to 750. On Saturday, after the mail had been disposed of, it was an announced in the mayors office that the probabilities were that the com mittee would number 1000. Yesterday Mr. Van Wyck declare< he felt that due justice to the occasion warranted the designation of committee of 1,5OO.
 This afternoon his honor is in clined to still further enlarge the num- Der. He has received by mail and in person applications from men who stand high in the mercantile, p-ofes- siOna,, political and commercial life of thc city sufficient to render it ad- visabie to appoint a committee of ten thousand. Nothing like the enthusi- asm displayed in this Dewey recep- ton matter has ever been observed at the city hall.
 It will be at least five days before the mayer will select the men, and when he does announce the citizens who will have charge of the celebra- tiOn it is certain that no matter how large the committee may be hundreds of men who have asked to be included will be disappointed.

THE STRIKE IS OFF
A SetfIeme Ht of inc Buffalo Dock
 Trouble.

Buffalo, N. Y, May 23.-The grain shovelers' strike was settled at 2:45 this morning, when the agreement signed by Contractor Connors to with draw all men now employed by him as grain shcvelers and to submit the names Of the old men to a committee of five composed of two members each from the old and new locals, No 51, with President Keefe of the Longshore- meEs' association as chairman, who shall decide the eligibility Of such members to join the new local 5i, was accepted by President Keefe, representative of the strikers. The coal and ore Handlers may be a pos sible disturbing element. They origi- nally went out in sympathy with the sccOpers, and have since formulated demand for increased wages. It is believed, however, that the grievances may be adjusted satisfactorily The marine fremen's sympathetic strike has been declared off and the men are returning to work

RACE TROUBLE IN MEXICO

 Americans.

Cincinnati, O., May 23.-A special to the Enquirer from Diaz, Mexico, says: There is great excitement in the town of San Dialo, ten miles from here, over the lynching of seven col ored men, laborers on the Mexican Central railroad. Jose Santo, a Spao- ish negro, attempted to assault the wife of Sencr Dupley, a ranch owner, and escaping from the plantation was tracked by bloodhounGs and in com pany with nine others was captured in a hut on the river bank opposite Eagle Pass.
 The regulators did not attempt to prove the guilt cf any of the negroes, but hung three of therS and shot four more who were attempting to escape Officials are swearing in deputies, as a race trouble is threatened in the col ored quarter. Four of the negroes killed were Americans and all had served sentences in the Texas peni- tentiary

OTIS STATEMENT BY MAIL.

Washington, May B. General Otis report received by mail and read by the president at the cabinet meeting today, is pronounced by these who heard it a most interesting sum mary of the situation in the Philip pines. In the main it presents the subject from a military standpoint. But probably the most important con tribution is that covering the cores pondence between General Otis and AguinaIdo just preceding the outbreak, showing conclusively that the Amer ican commander used every effort to aECid conflict
 The communication from Aguinaldo bear his signature and give little evidence of a conciliatory spirit or dis position to accept American rule. The members of the cabinet believe that they furnish a conclusive showing of the rectitude cf our course in dealing with the uprising.

AMALGAMATED COPPER
Wall Street Will Make Loans on 1t on
 Terms Offered Railways.

New York, May 23.-Two or three of the large financial institutions in Wall streot, it was reported today, have announced to their customers that they will make loans on the stock of the Amalgamated Copper Company on practically the same terms on which loans are now made on stan dard railway stocks. The report was of special interest in view Of the wide discussion recently had in the matter Of loans on industrials, and the often repeated statement that izsdzstrill stocks were being 6Escriminatal against by nearly all of the banks.
 President James Stillman of the Ma tional City bank when asked about the report that Aimalgamated Copper stock would be received on favorable terms when offered as collateral for loans, said:
 'I do not know what position the other banks have assumed in regard to tEfs stock, but the National City bank will certainly trelt Amalgamatcd Cop per stock when offered as collateral as it does other stocks customarily given as collateral. presume that the other banks will do likewise, for I see no reason why they should not.
 Tt IS true that we do make differ ences in making loans on securities, but it is 3 question of judging each stock on it's own merits. It is untrue that there is or has been any discrim- ination on the part of the banks, es- pecially on the part of ths larger banks against industrial stocks as a class. We are glad to loan money on Standard Oil stock or sugar trust stock, and we shall be equally ready to accept as collateral the stock of the Copper company.
 It was announced today that the stock of the new Amalgamated Copper company would be issued on May p. Two orders have been placed in the outside market to purchase Anralga- mated copper One! order is for 2,000 shares, in lots of 100, and the other for 1 1000 shares, in iotS of any size.

A Circumstance Causing UneaSi-
 ness at Washington.
PROPER OUTCOME EXPECTED
But There is Hint Gathered From neaqer Dispatches Thai There Is Danger of Losing inc Fruits of inc Glorious Victories of inc American Army and Navy.

Washington, May 23.-The indica- tions clearly set out in the news dis patches from Manila of a division of opinion among the United States con- missioners as to the best method Of dealing with the insurgents at this critical stage, have aroused deep inter est here.
 Nothing was received at the state department today from President Schurman o fthe commission, and in Gen. Otis dispatch to Secretary AIger or .sts least of that part of it made public, there is no reference to any dissatisfaction on his part with the at titude of the civilian members of the commission
 It is realized here that much tact is required at this juncture iii order. while avoiding extreme measures with the Fi.ipinos, not to fall into the much graver error of losing the eXpenSiVely bought fruits Of the victories Of the American army and navy
 The war department is inclined to support General Otis, not only be- cause of his connection with the war. but also Cn the ground that his longer experience with the insurgents better fits him to understand the native character.
 However, the president is giving the matter his close personal atten- tion, assisted not only by Secretary Hay. who is 0Tectly responsible for the instructions given to the ccmmis- sicn, but by all the members of the cabinet and Q proper outcome of the little differences may be expected.

First of Three Great Days of
 National Rejoicing.
Spiendor as Had Seldom Been Seen Even in WaShiRqt ton Only Slight Rain Disturbed it.

Washington, May 23.- Beginning with an imposing parade of military and other uniformed organizations and clcsing with a display of fireworks: ct night, the national capital today inaugurated the three days peace jubilee.
 The main thorOughfares of the city and all the public buildings are dec orated with bunting and the attractive programme Of jparades and festivities has drawn large number Of visitors. With the exception of . shower, which was not of sufficient duration to mar the occasion, the weather was ideal
 The parade, which was the feature of the first day, moved down Pennsyl- vania avenue between cheering g throngs, through a handsome court of homer in front of the White House, and passed in review before the presi- dent and a distinguished party of pub lie officials.
 The day opened with the boom of the big guns from the Dolphin, which, anchored off the navy yard, frsd a national salute at sunrise, and church chimes and hundreds of steam whistles joined in the noisy chorus. At noon their thousands cut to join the crowds On the streets, and at the same hour a salute of forty-five guns was fired.
 By this time Pennsylvania avenue was back with people. It was after 1 o'clock before the great naval and military parade had completed it's formation and the signal given to start.
 The parade was led by the full Ma tional Marine band in uniform. Scores of military organizations from all parts of Maryland, Pennsylvania, Neg York and other states were in line. together with regiments of reg ulars from a dozen forts and barracks, cadets from Annapolis, Jackies from the gunboats, and marines from the navy yards. Throughout that dis tance people were packed and jammed, the congestion being greatest in the vicinity of Lafayette Square, where the reviewing stand occupied by the pres ident and cabinet officers, members of the royal diplomatic corps and distin- guished guests, was located. As the procession passed the reviewing stand it marched between three triumpha; arches of unparalleled magnifcence. Throughout the line of march the en- thusiasm displayed by the spectators was intense.

SpEAKERSHIp CONTEST
Pennsylvania Expes tad 10 Throw lis
 Support fO General Henderson.

Washington, May 23-Congreszman II Payne of New York is persistfng n his candidacy for the speakership. He | is wIiting letters to republican rem ] borS of the next house asking the:r support and declaring that he has en- tered the contest with the intention of being elected if he can. In some cases. when writing to intimate friends. he has gone into the matter very ex- plicitly, assuring them that he has 10 intention at any time of stepping aside for another New York candidate. Some members have received as many as three letters from him.
 Representative Bingham of PennsvI- Vania, who is now in Washington. has prepared a formal announcement of his candidacy, which he expects to issue in a day or two. | is generally conceded that MT Bingham's cand:- dacy is for the convenience of the delegation from Pennsylvania. and that it will not interfere with any plans of that delegation later in the contest. His canvass for support from members outside of his own delega- tion will hardly be more than formal The expectation is that all the repu5- licans from Pennsylvania, except Dal- zell and one other, pa-haps, will vote together.
 The delegation wiB meet at Phla- delphia instead of Harrisburg. At that time, besides an indorssment of the candidacy of MT Bingham. an un- derstanding will probably be reached as to the distribution of forces. which will be more important. The situation as between the various candidates has been pretty well canvassed, and the general idea now is that Pennsyl- Vania's best course will be to throw the entire delegation to General Hem derson, and it is expected that at the meeting a decision to support Tender son in the end will be reached No serious opposition to this plan is an- ticipatad.
 MT. Hopkins of Illinois is expected in Washington ttis week, when he will begin more direct work in his own interest among the eastern dele gations. He has been writing to mem- bens of the house n all sections of the country, but UO to this time has given his personal attention to the delega- tons surrounding his own state.

FILIPIN0S UNDEIIDED.

Manila, May 23.-The Filipino com missioners spent the day at the resi- dence of the American commissioners. They discussed every point of the scheme Of the goverrm ent and the peace proclamation details, asking for in formation as to what personal rights would be guaranteed them. Col Charles Denby of the American com mission explained that they would be the same as under the United States constitution.
 The Filirincs also desired informa- tiOn as to the school system to be es- tabiished, and approved Of the Amer ican policy of the separation of the church and state. They chiefly ob- jected to the scheme on the ground that it gave them personal liberty which they kne9 they would have, but it did not give them political lib- erty. Finally the FiHpinos said they were personally pleased with the plan, but could not endorse it officially. During the day the FiIipinol commits sioners called upon General Otis and will repeat the call tomQrrow.
 ROstario, a Filipino congressman and a wealthy resident of Manila, for meriy Agu1naldo'5 commissary gen eral, accompanied by an insurgent cap- tain, called upon Major-General Otis today and announced, We desire to surrender our persons and property into the hands of the Americans.
