The Great Marine Parade in
Dewey's Honor.
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.
The claims aggregate something over
la?, 000. Of this amount about $80,-
000 grows OUt Of the denrert
the Mataafa rebels in January and
niarcn last, while some $5,000 is for
losses resulting from the bomhn
of the British-American naval forces
and the succeeding operations on land.
The original amount of the clnima u-i
doubled the amount now submitted to
tne British commissioner as they were
first subjected to a rieid scrutiny Vit- a
British official at Apia. Mr. Eliot
called at the White House today and
had a talk with the president, in the
course of which Mr. McKinley ex
pressed his satisfaction with the
of the Samoan commission.

Manila, Oct. 2. General MncAr.

where Generals MacArthur, Wheaton
and Wheeler have established their

cans were . wounded in vesterdnv'a

HE WAS REJECTED.
But Stuck to His Job and AY on the
Coveted Prize.
"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." Cincinnati Enquiier.

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. Philadelphia

in their Sunday clothing thronged the

stretching their necks towards the win

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

through the streets.
"We desired peace, but peace with

with a press representative. He im
presses one as dignified and dispassion

glory of their gold-laced uniforms and
gold-trimmed cocked hats, were in
