A million visitor are here to partici pate In the glorious celebration. Gaily apparaled soldiers of many states, who are to take part In the land parade Saturday, began trooping In today and there was no hour when uniformed men were not moving In some quarter of the city to the sound of the fife and drum. Arrangements for the two days' celebration are completed. The great arch at Madison square, modeled after the triumphal arch of Titus and upon which the most famous sculptors of tacle of naval might and power to the tens of thousands who sailed down In tugs. In yachts and steamers to see the ships. The crueh to get aboard the Olympla never abated for a minute, and as great Indulgence was shown by Admiral Dewey, a goodly portion of those who besieged the gangways got aboard. These crowds and official vis its the admiral received scarcely gave him and his officers time to breathe The Jackles today got medals which congress voted them, and proudly dis played them to the visitors unUl Jef freys, the pugilist, came aboard. Jack, loves a lighter, and while the big slug ger was abmrd the tars were oblivious to all else. The municipal authorities are some what piqued because Governor Roose- velt extended a formal welcome of the I state to the admiral today before the) mayor had an opportunity to offer his officlul greeting on behalf of the city: Tills ceremony will occur tomorrow. The marine parade, unless it Is mar red by bad weather, which the local forcaster unfortunately predicts, is ex pected to eclipse all previous water pageants on this side of the world. It Is expected the line willbe nine miles long, and that half a million people will be afloat. Tonight there was a preliminary Il lumination of rare beauty. All the buildings on the water front were light ed up. On the Brooklyn bridge, In ietters of living fire, 30 feet high, flashed the words, "Welcome Dewey," while simultaneously from the shores of the East and North rivers, Staten and Governors Islands, a red fire glowed and sputtered, sending up fantastlo clouds of smoke, turning the color of the water into a sea of lurid flame and transforming the craft in the har bor Into red speotres. AN IMPRESSIVE SCENE. Dewey Is Presented With the First Ad , mlral's Flag of the Navy. NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-On board the cruiser Olympla today Admiral George W. Balrd. who sailed with Farragut and Pewey In the Gulf In ISfil, unrolled a package which he had carefully guard- ed, snd, displaying a faded blue ad miral's emign upon which were stitch ed four white stars, he said to Admiral Dewey: "Admiral, I wlh to present to you the first admiral's flag ever 'broken out' in the navy of this country. Tbe ad- ' mlr"! whrM name and memory w " short while ago, I deem a proper person for Farragut's mantle to fall upon." This flag was mad by Quartermaster Knowles out of a blue "number" flag ' I II fly it In the parade. I'll fly It al- way. And , and when I strike my admiral s flag, this shall be the flag I shall strike." This was the most Impressive scene that has occurred on the Olympla since her arrival in this port, and for some time no one spoke. The silence was not broken before he called his Chinese steward and ordered a case of cham pagne. THE LAND PARADE. Over One Thousand Union Veterans Will Be In Line. NEW YORK. Sept 28. A lion cub given Dewey was named by the Ad miral this afternoon. The admiral said: "I have decided to call him Chichester. in memory of my English friend Cap tain Chichester, of the British cruiser Irnmortalite." The committee ot 100 citlxens has sub scribed sufficient money to defray the expenses of a band to head the civil war veterans In the land parade. This organization will be headed by Gen eral Howard and Its ranks will be open to any credited veteran. General Howard announces that over 1,000 men will be In line. General Howard said today that Commander in Chief Kay had exceeded his authority when he issued an order saying that the G. A. R. men should not march as Individuals in the Dew ey land parade. General Howard said: "Kay Is not over me, but If he were, I would consider that his order that the G. A. R. men should rot march as individuals In the parade counted for little, as ho entirely exceeded his au thority in issuing it." The convicts in the city prison have published a special Dewey edition of the Prison Forum, which will be presented to the admiral with their compliments. They will re9t from prison labor to morrow and Saturday. COGHLAN .VISITS DEWET. The Admiral Chides Him For Singing the "Hoch Der Kaiser" Song. NEW TORK. Sept 28. One of the personal friendships that Admiral Dew ey renewed aboard the Olympla today w-as that with Captain Joe. B. Cogh lan, who commanded the Raleigh at Manila and Is now commandant of the Port Orchard. Washington, naval sta tion. When Captain Coghlan went on board Admiral Dewey rushed over to him, and grasping him by the hand, exclaimed: "Why, Joe, how well you are looking,," and then he went on with twinkling eyes: "What's this I have heard about your learning to sing?" Then seizing Captain Coghlan by the shoulders, he shook him as if chiding him, and both laughed heartily at the admiral's reference to Coghlan's "Hoch Der Kaiser" song. DEWEY FEARS HIS RECEPTION. Parade Today and Tomorrow Will Tax Him to the Utmost NEW YORK. Sept. 2S.-Admlral Dew ey has already expressed some doubt that he will be able to get through the duties attendant on his reception with out suffering extraordinary faUgue. The parade will occupy at least 12 hours Friday and 16 hours Saturday. Continued on Page Five. Makes the food more I5H BAKWfl THE BRITISH ATDEAAR Infantry Detachment .selects i Base of Operations.
