City During the Three-Day
. Celebration.

CHICAGO, May 1.--Amid the boom
ing of cannon and the cheers of hun
dreds of people, Admiral George Dewey
arrived in Chicago during the day. For
the next three days he will be the guest
Of this city and the programme for his
entertainment will take up nearly every
moment of his time until his departure,
Thursday morning, for Jacksonville,
Ills. The special train bearing the ad-
miral and Mrs. Dewey, Lieutenant
Caldwell, his secretary, and Lieutenant
Crawford, was met near South Chicago
by special train carrying the general
executive committee of the Dewey cele-
bratiQn, and including Mayor Harrison,
President Charles A. Plamandon and
the admiral's, son George G. Dewey.
Escorted by the members of the gen.
eral executive committee Admiral
Dewey and Leutenants Caldwell and
Crawford proceeded down the long
platform and mounted the steps lead
ing to the driveway where carriages
were in waiting. Even under the Wig
orous pressure Of the police the immense
crowd would hardly yield enough room
for the carriages, but cheered contin-
ually and pressed closer. The police
finally succeeded in clearing the street
and the party proceeded down Harrison
street, en- route for the Auditorium An
mex, where apartments overlooking
Lake Michigan had been reserved.
Streets Packed With People.
The route to the Annex lay along
Fifth avenue to jackson boulevard,
thence down Michigan avenue to the
hotel.
Along those streets for hours before
the arrival Of Admiral Dewey were
gathered crowds that literally packed
the sidewalks. and that kept the police
busy from filling the streets also, and
the cheering started and swept along
the streets as the admiral and his party
were slowly driven to their apartments,
the applause being almost without ces-
sation until the admiral entered the
hotel. ,..,. :, s.. -,:,..a
Arriving at the hotel Admiral Dewey
proceeded at once to his apartments
where, however, he was allowed to rest
but briefly, for at 1890 he was escorted
to an informal breakfast given the ad-
miral and Mrs. Dewey by the members
of the awomen's reception committee.
At 2:S0 p. m. the admiral was given a
reception by the Canadian-American
association, which presented an invita-
ton to him to visit Canada at his pleas
