 More Honor and Noise

Chicago, April SO.-Amid the booming of cannon and the cheers of hundreds of peo- pie, Admiral George Dewey arrived in Chi cago today For the next three days he will be the guest of this city, and the pro- gramme for his entertainment will take up nearly every moment of his time until his departure Thursday morning for Jackson vile, I'll.
 The special train bearing the admiral and Mrs. Dewey, Lieutenant Caldwell, his secretary, and Lieutenant Crawford was met near South Chicago by a special train carrying the general executive committee of the Dewey celebration and including Mayor Harrison, President Charles A.

 The admiral's train arrived at the grand central depot, Fifth avenue and Harrison streets, six minutes ahead of schedule time, at Il o'clock. The moment the white mustached naval hero was seen a roar of cheers went up from the fortunate ones inside the station, and was quickly taken up by the thousands in the streets.
 Escorted by the members of the general executive committee, Admiral Dewey and Lieutenants Caldwell and Crawford pro- ceeded down the long platform and mount ed the steps leading to the driveway, where carriages were in waiting. Even under the vigorous pressure of the police, the inn mense 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 for the Auditorium Annex, where apartments overlooking Lake Michigan had been re- served.

 At 2:3O D. m the admiral was given re- ception by the Canadian-American associa- ton, which presented an invitation to him to visit Canada at his pleasure
 After the informal luncheon given Ad- miral Dewey by the members of the gen. eral committed a delegation of Canadians called on the admiral, and presented him with formal invitation to be present at reception to be given in his honor at Hill Terrace, Port Stanley, Ont, on any day in July convenient to the admiral. The in- vitation, which was beautifully embossed and bound in red morocco, included among it's signatures the names of Sir Wilfred Laurier and Sir Charles Tupper.
 Right Rev. C. P. Henderson, who made the presentation address, said the invita- ton came from representatives of an em- pire that was somewhat familiar with nav al achievements and assured the admiral that the warmth of the reception accorded him would be fully great as that given by his own countrymen.
 Thanked the Canadians
 Admiral Dewey, in reply, thanked the Canadians very cordially for the invitation. ..Of all the evidences of good will shown me since my arrival in New York last October" said he none has touched me more deeply than this. We are of the same blood There is but slight difference be- tween us, and want to say that the one man who stood at my back during those trying days at Manila was an Englishman. But for his support and the moral courage he inspired me with, don't know what would have happened. I refer to Sir Charles Seymour"
 The admiral said that his engagements were so many, and that he was not pre- pared to state off-hand whether he would accept the invitation. "Be assured, how ever," he concluded, "that if can possibly do so, will, and with pleasure" 10 EXPERIMENTATION ssssssSssss
