GIVE DEWEY FIRST CHANCE.
President Mckinley Will Take Back
Seat For the Admiral.

New York Aug. IA special to the
World from Plattsburg. says: y commit
tee from New York will arrive here to-
morrow morning to invite President Nc
Kinley and Vice President Hobart to at
tend the reception to Admiral Dewey IN
New York.
President Mckinley will decline the. in
vitation on the ground OF pressure of pub
lie business. His real reason will be the
conviction that his presence ut the cere-
monies would be likely. by division of
public hon0rs to detract from the glory
which rightfulIy belongs to the victorious
admiral.
When Dewey comes to the national cap
ital. however Immediately after the New
York celebration. he will be received at
the White House with open arms. He
will be wined and dined. and every
courtesy. consideration and respect will
be shown to him. President Mckinley
and Vice President Hobart will be pres
ent at the Dewey ceremonies. which will
take place in front of the capitol. The
president will also attend the Dewey
ceremonies in Chicago the week of Oct. 9.
but he will give Dewey the first chance at
public applause everywhere he goes.

ENGLISH ARE To BLAME.
Gsrmanv Naval Officer Tells of the
Trouble at Manila.

Chicago. Aug. 14.-Lieutenant Kehrl,
of the German navy who is touring
America for pleasure. is in the city.
The lieutenant was an officer of the
Gefion. Admiral Diedrich's flagship in
the Philippines. during the war with
Spain. He said:
There was a misunderstanding be-
tween Admiral Dewey and Admiral Won
-Diedrichs over harbor regulations. but
the affair has been much exaggerated.
The admirals were good friends and
frequently dined together.
THE stories of the bitterness OF the
feeling between them come from Eng
lish sources. The English people wish
to impress upon the American mind the
aid they rendered this country in order
to pave the way for the alliance they
seek with the United States. England
would also like nothing better than to
see the United States and Germany go
to war so that she might get control
of that much more of the commerce
of the world. The feelings said to have
grown out of the Manila incident does
not exist in Germany"

SEVER STREET SMOOTH PAVING.
An Order Adopted for Lay
ing Asphaltina to
Cedar Street.


Members of the city council antici-
pated short session when they looked
at last nights calendar. The lower
board realized its expectation, but
with the aldermen it was different.
The upper board has established a re-
putation for late hours, and last night
was no exception to the usual order. 1t
was 11.SO o'clock when the body ad-
journed.
DEGREES establishing locations for
tracks Of the Consolidated Street Rail-
way in Southbridge street and May
wood street were taken up and adopt
ed after certain clauses to which Off
Gals of the road objected were strick-
en- out. The same thing was true of
the Worcester & Webster decree grant
ing a location of it's tracks in College
and Southbridge streets.
The smooth paving question came
up again for a little discussion in the
upper board during which some inter
esting facts were developed relative
to opinions of individuals in the board

introduced a resolution relative to the

IN COMMON COUNCIL.

In the common council, Councilman
George C. Hunt moved that the police
rules be taken from the table. Coun-
Gilman Meagher seconded the motion.
After some debate, it was voted to take
the rules from the table and have 100
copies printed. Then, on motion of
Mr.. Hunt, the rules went back to the
table once more.
Three of the most stringent rules in
typewriter form were shown around.
One of these provides that no officer
shall bring influence to bear to have
his beat changed, as it excites jeal-
ousy and weakens discipline. Another
says that no officer in uniform shall get
refreshments from hotelkeepers, res
taurant keepers or saloons or night
lunch carts without paying the regu-
lar price charged the general public. A
third provides for the suspension of
any officer who fails to report prompt
ly. Unless his excuse is satisfactory,
he is subject to suspension from one
to thirty days.
Councilman Ryan introduced the fol-
lowing resolution, which was unani-
mously passed:
Resolved, that in the opinion of this
DOuy, CnaDleF Oh OF the acts OF 1879,
with reference to the eight hour day
for city employees, should be submit
ted to the citizens of the city of Wor-
ccster for their approval. Be it fur
Their
Resolved, that a copy of these reso-
lutions be sent to the board of alder
men for information.
Councilman O'Leary made a speech
in support of the resolution He read
the law from the public statutes and
said that the board of aldermen didn't
give it due consideration. Instead Of
arbitrarily setting up their own opin-
ion they should have allowed the mat
ter to go to the voters for their de-
cision. Mr.. O'Leary emphasized the
distinction between the board of alder
men and the common council. The
popular branch he said represented the
people.
Councilman Meagher roundly scored
the parks commission for their methods
in connection with the order appropri-
ating $1,000 for their use in meeting OBJ
legations incurred in the work Of ex-

Luck the First Day
After Foxes.

Three pelts only were secured by fox
hunters on the opening day.
The opening could hardly be called
suspicious. The largest party that left
the city, which followed the Kinney
White pack of hounds in favorite run
ways Of Sutton, did not start a fox dur
ing the entire day. Not a Worcester
man knocked down one of the willy
dogs. Two Grafton men reported q kill
each. and one was killed in New Hamp-
shire by Worcester man. of the
hunters who left this city to start in

returns were not made, however and

been heard FROM more pelts may be
added to the score.

H. Walker, telephoned last evening
from Northampton, N. H., that he
