BOATS BY THE HUNDREDS Olympia and the TVamhlps Led the Pro cession Sir Thomas Upton Shared the Enthusiaiin With the Hero. New York, Oct. 2. The naval pa rade, from the standpoint of the war ships, was an immense marine picture, a water pageant with so little of inci dent, copamred with its great size, that it appealed to the eye as a paint ing rather than a drama. The vast gathering of water craft maintained ar average speed of eight knots, but so magnificent was its area that the im pression was one of exceingly slow and stately movement. The picture was continually changing, but it melted dowly in such measured rythm from firm to form that the sense of motion was largely lost. It started under a brilliant sky, passed at the mouth of the Hudson through the threat of an ugly storm, and emerged through a rainbow arch that stretched from shore to shore into a clear and brilliant sunset off the Grant tomb. The night had been a busy one in the fleet of warships off Tompkinsvlle. The last details of the day's ceremony were hardly settled before the day itself broke on a scene of greater activ ity than the classic anchorage had ever witnessed before. The great vessels of the white squad ron swung at their anchorage as for the past two days, but the crowd of neighboring craft had been swelled pas; counting. As far as could be seen the water was a mass of moving steamers. The evolution began at 1 o'clock, and in 15 minutes the fighting line was straightened out up the harbor. Admiral Dewey was going to his own place at the head of a squadron that would have won, at need, three battles of Manila bay without stopping for Dreaktast. The head of the column was a broad arrow. Six torpedo boats spread out at the bar, three on a side, from the Olympia's quarter. Outside of them a flying wedge of police patrol boats formed a great V, whose apex was the Olympia. Flanking them, ahead and astern. were the harbor fire boats, spouting great columns of water that turned threateningly toward the excursion boats on either side when they at tempted to crowd the line of march. But the pageant back of this power- j i. ... . iui vitugutiru was not limited to a single or sextuple line of ships. It was a sinuous marine monster half a mile wide, whose vertebrae were the ships of the white squadron, and whose ribs were rows upon rows of everv sort of floating thing that had ever run by steam in iew York harbor. From the time the British yacht Erin started she certainly was the chief attraction along the river front. after the Olympia had gone by, and Sir Thomas Lipton was accorded an ovation all along the line. To those on board the Erin, decked out as she was with flags of all nations, it looked as if the American people were greatly pleased with Sir Thomas, and were delighted at an opportunity to give him a hearty welcome. They ran alongside in tugs, barges, launches and big excursion steamers, and shouted all sorts of complimentary things to mm, while the tall yachstman on the upper brigde of the Erin wore a smile, and not infrequently called back hia thanks for the kind wishes. SAMOAN CLAIMS. Those of the British Subjects Aggregate 37,000. Washington, Sept. 30. The British commissioner to Samoa, Mr. Eliot, has received from Apia a full report on the claims made by the British subjects for damage resulting from the bom bardment and the native uprising.

"It was such a good joke on me," said the giil in the gray velvet toque to the girl in the blue velvet shoulder cape, as they stirred their hot choco late, "that I must telf you. " "You know how John has been pro posing to me at regular intervals ever since he was out of knickerbockers. Well, he did it again the other night, and, with his usual facility, chose an occasion when I was very cross. "He did it a little more awkwardly than usual, too, deliberately choosing the old-fashioned method of offering me 'his hand and heart.' " Here she paused to drink some choco late, and the girl in blue asked breath lessly what she said. "Oh!" remarked the other, in the tone of one relating an event of no im portance, "I told him that I believed I was already provided with the full quota of bodily organs, and that I wouldn't deprive him." "And what did he say?" "Well, Belle, that's the funny thing. He seemed to brace up, and said, po litely, that at any rate there was no doubt about my having my full shaie of cheek 1 And I was so delighted to find a man capable of even that much repartee on being rejected that I ac cepted him."

Fight Between Man and Pig. An interesting fight between a man and a pig entranced a crowd of Norris town people the other morning on the main street. The man, a young farm er. was driving a big, uncovered wagon. He sat on some boards that were snatohed from the wagon's Wo sides, and under the boards was the hog, which his weight held down. Sudden ly, in front of tho Montgomery house, the man flew high in the air, the boards clattered ' down on top of him, and the porker began to cliinB out of the wagon. "You'll buck me, will you?" said the man, getting up, and he grabbed the animal by the tnroat and began to pinch it in the nose. The pig. erect and shreking like mad, struck at him with its forepaws and tried to trip him with its hind ones. The intelligent horses stopped so as to let the crowd view the fight in comfoit. The man and the hog fought all over the wagon until they both panted for breath. The animal's nose was bleed nig, and the man's clothes and skin were torn here and there. The duelists were revolving in a tight embrace in the middle of the wagon, like a couple waltzing, when a spectator reached up and knocked the hog down with a club Then the boards were arranged again and the man drove off.

Natives in their Sunday clothing thronged the plaza in front of the hotel all day, stretching their necks towards the win dows for a glimpse of the showy uni forms of the enovys. The assemblage finally increased to 1,000 people. When the envoys emerged for an after noon drive, the natives removed their hats deferentially and a crowd in ve hicles and on foot followed the carriage through the streets. "We desired peace, but peace with independence and honor," said General Aliejandrino today, while conversing with a press representative. He im presses one as dignified and dispassion ate and a keen man of the wolrd. He was educated in Euorpe, and designed the remarkable entrenchments from Manila to Tarlac. While reticent con cerninor his mission, his conversation throws an interesting light on the Fili pino view ot the American attitude. "How InniT enn th Pilinino arral withstand 60,000 troops?" asked the press representative.
