OOO Mill* A way When He Was With­ in Gamdsot of His Native Land-Ad­ miral and All on Board Reported Wall-Signal Men Are Kept Busy Aaiwerteg the Salatos of Welcome. Admiral Dewey Tuesday morning treated the nation to another surprise. With the United States cruiser Olymp-.a, flagship' of the fleet that won the victory of Manila bay, he quietly sailed into New York bay at 7 o'clock iu the morning, nearly sixty hours ahead of time. The famous cruiser was first sight­ ed off the coast short­ ly before 0 o'clock. At 7:04 she passed in at Sandy Hook, and half an hour later she an­ chored in the lower bay. While Admiral Dewey and the Olym- pia wc-re reported by "expert" calculators to be about 000 miles off New York City they were almost within gunshot. It was the a d m i r a l's failure to touch at Bermuda that left everybody in doubt as to his course and *\w*LcnMK, • his whereabouts. His admiral!" early arrival is taken as further proof of the "Dewey way" to be -on time. All the morning, as the cruiser Jay at anchor, her signalman was kept busy dipping the ensign in answer to the wel­ come of passing vessels. An orderly came ashore from the Olympia soon after she had anchored, with dispatches and messages from the admiral and officers. New Yorkers Tuesday knew how Ad­ miral Montejo and his sailors must have felt that May morning, more than a year ago, when Dewey appeared in Manila bay, days ahead of the time the Span­ iards had bargained for.

They probably will tie ll! a little time. lt is my candid opinion that THK DEWKY ARCH. they Are Tftore fitted for it than the Cu­ bans; that they are a better'people than the Cubans in every way." When told that he had been suggested to lead the Democratic ticket with Gen. Wheeler as a running mate, the admiral said: "'Well, we should make a pretty mess of it. Gen. Wheeler, of course, has some training in the political school, but then he is a West Pointer. I had for­ gotten that. He would want to run ev­ erything as he would a regiment and, of course, would make a splendid mess of it. ¥ou cannot run a government as you would a regiment." When told that his son had said he was a pronounced Republican, the ad­ miral laughed and said his son knew about as much about it as the Olympia.

He replied that he would be there.by.that time, and the people, knowing, he w^ld keep his word, expected that he wquld hover off the coast and then come in and drop anchor at the stated time. His ar­ rival, therefore,' was a shock. But* the people got over it quickly and weri't to work with renewed vigor to prepare for the reception to the nation's hero. It was eleven minutes to 6 Tuesday morning when the sleepy marine observ­ ers at Sandy Hook saw a trim-looking American man-of-war looming up iu the mist off the lightship, seven miles off shore. They keep tab on all of Uncle Yarn's ships and knew that no cruiser was due at New York that day. Mean­ time the ship drew nearer, and soon her signals, denoting that she was the Olym­ pia, were discerible. The news was quick­ ly flashed to the city and then transmit­ ted all over the country. By 7 o'clock the famous sea fighter had drawn close to khore and a few minutes later she crossed the bar. She proceeded about a mile and a half up the bay, inside the Hook. Wednesday morning Admiral Dewey and his men were early astir on the Olympia. At an early hour a number of tugs and chartered boats filled with pat­ riotic Americans hovered about the Olympia ready to cheer and wave flags at the slightest provocation.

Adnrral Dewey is to be formally de­ tached from the Olympia. The flagship will then proceed to Boston, where she will be placed out of commission and re­ ceive an overhauling. The admiral will not be assigned to duty until he has been consulted on the subject. The President and the Secretary of the Navy will as­ certain his desires. While the action of the Navy Department will be dependent on the wishes of the admiral, President McKinley and Secretary Long have cer­ tain plans concerning him to which he will hardly object. When the Philippines commission assembles in November, Ad­ miral Dewey's presence at the meeting will be necessary, as he is one of its members. It is probable that the com­ mission will remain in Washington dur­ ing most if not all of the coming session of Congress. Admiral Dewey will reach the retiring |gc on Dec. 26, but as the law leaves it optional with him whether to retire or hot he will, it is believed, prefer to re­ main on the active list. It is said that the present intention of the Navy Depart­ ment is to assign Admiral Dewey to duty as the confidential advisor of the Secre­ tary of the Navy on naval affairs. The admiral will have as much leave as he desires. All the secret the second Bav been stolen from geant named S Elias Hat fie. was found guil ing H. E.

The procession and the pyrotechnical display which fol­ lowed were reviewed by the city's guests from the balcony of the Glidden House. Following that there was a public recep­ tion in the auditorium of the new normal school. Fail to Blow Open a Safe. Burglars made an attempt to blow open the heavy safe in the Exchange Bank at Holcomb, but it proved unsuccessful. Af­ ter getting the outside door off they were evidently frightened away, for the tools, which were stolen from a local black­ smith shop, were found scattered all over the bank floor. Entrance to the bank was gained by breaking the fasteners of a window. In the morning Joseph Magin discovered that a team and carriage had been stolen from his livery stable during the night, with which the safe crackers made their escape.
