DEWEYS WELCOME.
Continued from First Page.1


Captain Matthews waving his yachting
cap in response to the salutes, until
after the Erin rounded the turning
point off Grants tomb.
There were many distinguished guests
on the Erin, including the Hon Charles
Russell, who arrived from England yes
terday; Sir r. Burdett, Walford Bur
dett, Hugh c. McGildoway, James
Craig, Colonel Sharman-C Crawford and
DR. F. Mackey.~
In the line of yachts were two other
foreign visitors, the Erl King and the
White Ladye. While the reception that
greeted them was ear-splitting and
noisy enough for all purposes. it was
not nearly so enthusiastic as the sere-
made to the passing Erin.
DEWEY IN PLAIN VIEW.
When the parade reached a point op-
posite HobOken, a welcome TO the ad-
miral was fired from a cannon on the
green in Hudson park. The crowds on
the Jersey shore were fully as large
as those on the New York side of the
river From some points on shore Ad-
miral Dewey could be seen standing on
the bridge of the Olympia and wherever
this was the case. the cheering and
waving of handkerchiefs by the crowd
waiting at Grants tomb was the larg-
est ever gathered there.
The officer in charge of the Grant
mausoleum said that II, 900 persons. as
nearly as he could estimate, had visited
the tomb during the morning and all of
these and many more remained in that
vicinity to see the warships. The ad
miral's cruiser at 2:25 o'clock was oppo-
site Seventy-Ninth street. Then there
was a tremendous demonstration. Can
non roared, the people yelled and flags
and handkerchiefs We're waved from the
streets and hundreds of roofs and win
dows. There were thousands of per-
sons on the roofs of the houses near
the river and park, and windows were
crowded. From all these people and
the hundreds of thousands in the park
came shouts of welcome and cheers for
the admiral as the Olympia passed by.
The scene was inspiring all along.
Mount Tom which used to be the site of
an old fort had 1000 or s, 900 persons on
it. 1t was one of the best points Of view
of the Riverside park The Riverside
drive was lined on both sides with un-
broken strings of carriages. The grand
stands were filed and the cheering con-
tinued from the time the Olympia hove
in sight until she was a way up the
river. The Olympia rounded the stake
boat St.Marys off 125th street at half
past o'clock, amid deafening sounds
of cannon and cheers from the largest
crowd ever gathered in this city.
The parade was one hour and fifteen
minutes passing Fulton street. The
vessels moved about eight knots an
hour.
Former Secretary of the Treasury
John G. Carlisle, Former Governor
Yarmouth of Louisiana, and -ex-Sena-
tor James L. Pugh of Alabama viewed
the parade from the roof of the apprais-
ers store building.

DEWEY A SURE WINNER
Horace White Says He Would Be
Elected on Any Ticket

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 29.-Editor
Horace White of the New York Even
ing Post who is visiting friends in this
city, is of the opinion that Admiral
Dewey would not decline the nomina-
tion for President if it were rendered
him. In an interview today he said:
Il have noticed in all the interviews
Dewey has given on this subject that
while he says he is a sailor and not in
politics and would not seek the nomina-
ton, he at the same time has not said
he would not accept it. He will GER
tainly not seek the nomination and will
not enter partisan politics, but 1 am
firmly of the opinion he would accept
the nomination if rendered him. He for
president and Joe Wheeler for vice
president is a ticket that would sweep
the country. Indeed, Dewey would be
elected no matter by what party nomi-
mated"
Editor White speaks very enthusiast
tically of the possibility of a Dewey
and Wheeler ticket and does not seem
to think it at all improbable.

GREENSPAN GONE.
Left His Wife and She Does Not
Know WheHe He Is.

Simon Greenspan has left Topeka.
Mrs. Sells-G s-Greenspan says she does not
know where he went or why he went,
but ''presumes he will sometime return.
Greenspan was seen Thursday in st.
Joe and stated then that he was on his
way to st. Louis. He did not appear to
be in his right mind.
For several days before and after he
left, Greenspan drew checks in his
wife's name and had them cashed. The
checks were all for small amounts. The
day before he left Mrs. Greenspan dis
covered he was checking money out in
her name, and published a statement
saying she would not be responsible for
his actions
Mrs. Greenspan says she believes her
husband to be in his right mind but
refuses to give any explanation of his
conduct Several months ago Green
span suddenly went crazy in a Kansas
avenue drug store one evening, and al
most succeeded in demolishing the in
terror settings before he was subdued.
He was then adjudged insane and sent
to the asylum, but later released ap-
parently cured. It is supposed that his
mind has again become affected.

TO GUST OTIS.
President Will Appoint a Civil
Governor in PHILIPPINES.

Chicago. Sept ga dispatch to the
Record from Washington says:
There is an accumulation of informa-
ton to the effect that the president will
soon appoint civil governor in the
Philippines. The president is advised
that he can appoint an official who, act
ing under military authority can go
ahead and form a government and give
a civil administration. He can form
this government to the extent of having
it complete for adoption by this govern
ment if congress should so choose to
act.
This advice to the president is based
on the military administration of af-
fairs in the territory of California just
before it was taken into the Union. The
president has appointed a military gov
ernor for this territory. He created a
government, and it was so complete
and satisfactory that when the terri
tory was taken into the Union by con-
gress the existing government was ac-
cepted.
If the president should appoint a civil
governor and that officer should pro-
ceed to the formation of a government
satisfactory, the party leaders might be
impelled not to interfere in the next
congress. letting the policy stand for it
self in the presidential election.

MILLIONAIRE IN JAIL.
Forced to Serve a Day for Expectorat-
ing in a Street Car.


san Francisco, Cal, Sept. 29.--Mill-
ionaire William B. Bradbury is in jail
and will remain there until IL o'clock
tomorrow, when his sentence of twenty
four hours for splitting on the floor OF
a street car will be served out. The
old man made desperate efforts to es-
cape serving sentence. but failed.
On May 13, 1897, Bradbury was con-
vfcted in the police court of violation
of the ordinance which prohibits ex-
pectorating in public places. Bradbury
added to his offense by splitting several
times after the conductor called his
attention to the rules and by profanely
asking what the company proposed to
do about it. AS he had already been
fined for a similar offense shortly be-
fore. the police Judge sentenced him to
jail twentyfour hours without alterna-
tive. The defendant spent two years
IN appealing the case, but judgment
was finally entered September 1. His
attorney secured several stays on tech
nical grounds. but today the court re-
fused his final appeal and Bradbury
was taken to jail. He sent out for food,
but he did not seem to enjoy his lodg-
ings. Bradbury has a local reputation
som ething like Russell Sage for wealth
and "nearness. His latest exploit was

boarding house because he objected to

SENATOR PRooToR's STORY.
How Dewey Came to Be Assigned to
the Asiatic Squadron.

New York, Sept. Ex-senator Proctor
of Vermont, told today the story of his
interest in having Admiral (then Com
modOre) Dewey assigned to the Asiatic
squadron. He said that when the ques-
tion of a commander for the Asiatic
station was under discussion he went to
the president to recommend Dewey for
the post.
I saw the president last Tuesday,
said the Senator, lin regard to this
very matter. He remembered the con-
versation we had quite distinctly and,
to my surprise, in detail. I had spoken
of the fighting qualities of Dewey and
Mckinley replied;
Yes, but all naval officers are fight
ers.' Then I said that was true, but
that Dewey was level-headed and that
he could take care of his country and
his cOuntry's interests, no matter how
far away he might be sent Mr. Nc
Kinley remembered all this perfectly
This seemed to have some effect on the
president, for he wrote on a card these
words:
Secretary Long: Assign Commodore
Dewey to Asiatic squadron.
WILLIAM Mckinley
1.-The president placed this note be-
hind his inkstand on his desk. Then he
said to me:
@ Senator, that is fixed told Dewey
of this soon afterwards and Dewey
said: I viii celebrate this. I'll give
you a dinner told Dewey that he did
not owe me anything, but as he was an
old friend of mine, I would eat his din

the anxiety of the singers to crowd the

the Warwick drew and the singers

The New York's searchlights were

Have Fun Together Over the:Captain's
Singing

New York. Sept 29.-One Of the per-
sonal friendships that Admiral Dewey
renewed on board the Olympia since
his arrival was that with Captain J. B.
COghIan. who commanded the Raleigh
q [ Manila. and is now in command of
the Port Orchard, Wash, naval station.
Captain COghlan was one of Governor
Roosevelt's guests and when he climbed
to the head of the gangway the admiral
rushed over to him and grasping him
by the hand exclaimed: why, Joe
how well you are looking" And then
he went with twinkling eyes:
What's this I have heard about your
learning to sing?''
Then seizing the captains shoulders
he shook him as if chiding him, and
both laughed heartily at the admiraI's
reference to COghlan's "Hoch Der
Kaiser song
