Great and Enthusiastic Crowds Give Him
Cordial Welcome.

Great and Enthusiastic Crowds Givo Him
Cordial Welcome.
Chicago, April 20.-Amid the boom
Ing Of cannon and the cheers of hun
dreds Of people, Admiral George Dew
ey arrived to-day. For the next three
days he will be the guest of the city,
and the programme for his entertain
ment Will take up nearly every mo-
ment Of his time until his departure
Thursday from Jacksonville, Illinois.
The special train bearing the admiral
and Mrs. Dewey, Lieutenant Cald-
well, his secretary, and Lieutenant
Crawford. was met near South Chica-
90 by a special train carrying the gen.
eral executive committee of the Dew
ey celebration, and including Mayor
Harrison, President Charles A. Plam-
andOn, and the admiral's son, George
Goodwin Dewey.
An immense crowd had congregated
In the streets surrounding the station,
and had packed to suffocation the
big depot building itself. When the
white-moustached naval hero was seen
u roar Of cheers went up.
The route of the parade to the hotel
was along Fifth avenue to Jackson
boulevard, thence down Michigan ave-
nue. to the hotel. Along those streets
for hours before the arrival of Admir-
nj Dewey We're gathered crowds that
literally packed the sidewalks and that
kept the police busy from filling the
streets also, and the cheering started
at the depot swept along the streets as
the admiral and his party were slowly
driven to their apartments, the ap-
plause being almost without cessation
until the admiral entered the hotel.
AT 2:3O p. m. the admiral was given
reception by the Canadian-American
Association, which presented an invi-
tation to him to visit Canada ut his
pleasure.
Never in the history of the great Au
ditoriun has been within Its walls
a sight more beautiful than that re-
vealed tonight when the great ball CIV
en- In honor of Admiral Dewey was at
Its height.

the presidency was longer than that Of
Polk or OF Arthur, for In the June fol-

The project for building a new IA
cade to. the cathedral Of Milan, which
has been at the point Of execution for
fourteen years. is receiving SO much
opposition that it is not impossible
that it may be abandoned. The old
facade struck n discordant note, but
many of its details were fine. AS the
bequest which was to largely pay the
cost of the construction of the facade
was to revert to the great hospital
at Milan II the construction was not
begun within a certain time, it is
probable that the Milanese public will
not regard the loss OF a new facade 4

and who were working themselves Up to
II frenzy and clamoring for the death OF
all foreigners.
The English consulate at Shanghai
was said to have received from influential
natives reports OF a tragedy in the palace
at Pekin, though precisely what is not
defined. The consulate thought that Adj
miral Seymour, commander of the inter,
national relief column, was misled by in
formation from Pekin and consequently,
underestimated the difficulties in his way
and the Chinese power OF resistance with
maxim guns and mausers.
The consuls at Shanghai still believed
the minister at Pekin safe, although
Japanese reports received at Shanghai al
legged that up to June Is 100 foreigners
had been killed in Pekin.
A special dispatch from Vienna said;
"Li Hung Chang has wired the various
Chinese legations in Europe, directing
them TO inform the governments to which
they are accredited that he is called to Pc
kin by the empress to act as intermediary
between China and the powers to negoti-
ate a settlement of the points at issue; and
he nstructs them to beg the powers to IA
cilitate his mission by ceasing to send

Sheng, director general of telegraphs,
wired from Shanghai to the Chinese lega-
tions in Europe that the foreign legations
in Pelin were safe.

MORE MEN FOR CHINA.
Macarthur Questioned as to What He
Can spare-Considered by
Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The only
news from China laid before the cabinet
meeting was a telegram to the secre-
tary of the navy giving the movements
of vessels i'll Chinese waters. The text
of the message, however, was not made
public. That the president and the
members Of the cabinet regarded the
situation In China as extremely critical
was shown by the fact that preliminary
preparations are being made to send
forward additional troops in case of
need A telegram probably has already
been sent to General Mac Arthur at Ma
Mia asking him how large a force he
can spare should it become necessary to
send them to China. No answer to this
inquiry was expected before today, when
instructions may be sent to have trans
ports and troops in readiness i'll antici-
patton of orders to sail.
1t is said that it is not the purpose of
the president to dispatch these addi-
Gonal troops at once, except in the event
that the situation becomes even more
grave and critical than at present. The
cablegram to Macarthur was preeau-
tonary measure taken with a view to
being in readiness to meet any emer-
gency.
The cabinet session was largely occu-
pied by the postmaster general, who
had returned from Philadelphia, in tell
ing the story of the convention.
