! Fort Hamilton booming out well
come, the steamer kaiserin Augusta
Victoria with former President

tine at 1888 O'Clock this morning.
Immediately behind the big liner
came six ships of the navy, the bat
tleship South Carolina in the van
while at anchor in the roadstead
awaiting her coming was the United
states dispatch boat Dolphin With the
secretary Of the navy aboard
The battleship already had saluted
the returning former president al
Sandy Hook with II guns but on
coming to anchor alongside the liner
the South Carolina hoisted long
strings of pennants and with the river
cIaft joined in the demonstration
with loud end prolonged blasts from
her Whistles.
Thanked by Mrs. Roosevelt, his
daughter, Mrs. LongWorth and his
son. Kermit, Colonel Roosevelt stood
on the flying bridge OF the liner, high
above all the decks Of the ship, and
with characteristic smiles overspread-
ing his tanned countenance and With
MS shiny silk hat in his hand, waved
acknowledgment to the pandemonium
on All sides.
Colonel Roosevelt lost no time on

transhipped to The revenue cutter
Manhattan, where with the immedi
ate members Of his family and q few
intimate friends he sat down to a
hasty breakfast. There was more fir
ing of big guns when Roosevelt left
the Manhattan for the Andloscoggin, !
but in the meantime the craft was
malshalled for the parade. Led by
the Dolphin the parade started at ?
minutes past O'Clock.
In a moment a perfect bedlam Of |

soaring the seabirds in the harbor
into mysteries. For two minutes or
more his noisy demonstration contin

had not the vessels needed their
steam for their long trip up tho river
and beck.
In the excitement ana suspense Of
waiting for the time when the rcturn-

colonel to his appointed landing point
at the Battery, there were many lit
