ADMIRAL DEWEY IN WASHINGTON His Journey to the Capital From New York Was One Con tinuous Ovation. J J GREETING T WHITE HOUSE. With tbe President Reviewed the Parade From the Stand On Pennsylvania Avenue twelve Thousand Peo ple la the Procession. By Telegraph to tbe Morning Btar. Washington, 'October 2. The home coming of Admiral Georj Dftwev for henceforth the National capital is to be his home was made the occasion for the greatest tribute ever paid by Washington to any indi vidual. After; the preliminary wel come in- New- York, itself surpassed in its kind, it remained for the highest and greatest in the official world to hold out the hand of greeting to the famous admiral, and to join with the people who are to be his fellow citi zens in bidding him welcome. The citizens had made every preparation to make the occasion worthy of their hero. N The' decorations were elaborate. Pennsylvania : avenue was one mass of colored bunting along the entire line of march from the station to the White House, and not content with this, a few private citizens failed to make some display of color on their residences. Unique designs in fairy lamps dotted the horizon, great search lights threw broad beams of bright light across the blue, sky of a clear October evening, and the stately cap itol stood revealed in all its queenly beauty in the powerful rays of many concentrated lights. The same device was used effectively in the case of other public buildings within the range of vision of the distinguished party on the reviewing stand. JThe prow of the white Olympia pro jected in bold relief from the stand at the head of Pennsylvania avenue, whereon stood Dewey, the central figure of the demonstration. On the facade of the newly completed general nnctnflRcA hiiilrUno flnmed forth two inscriptions set in electric points, the one reciting the famous message of thePresident directing Dewey, then thousands' of miles away in the Far TT A tl. A -i ' ik. C ish fleet, and the other setting out the famous admiral's direction to the la mented Gridley, "You may fire when you are ready, Qridley." which mark ed au epoch in the history of the United States. Twelve thousand mem bers of civic organizations paraded be fore him, teside tens of thousands of non-organized ! citizens, and in a roar of -cannon rockets, the blaze of red fire, the thunderous cheering of the populace and the warm greeting of the heid of the nation, Dewey came to the national capital to a welcome guch as has not been, known here hitherto. j" . ' One Continuous Ovation. H13 journey here from New . York . haabeen one continuous ovation. The decorated special train which left the Pennsylvania railroad ferryship in Jersey City at 1 . 50 in the afternoon was fully in keeping with the distin guished passenger. It was made up of five cars, the Pennsylvania's prize special, the Atlanta, a dining car, a combination smoker. a'od three parlor cars for the accommodation of the Washington reception committee. The special was given a clear track and the run to Washington was made without a stop except at Gray's Ferry, where engines; were changed and a new train crew came aboard. Almost immediately . after going aboard the train, the admiral retired to his private car for luncheon which was served for six. Admiral Dewey, his sou George, his brother and wife, Captain Lamberton and Lieutenant Brumby. Thereafter the admiral lay down, and tried to get a little sleep, but this was impossible owing to the continuous cheering along the line. It was said by the railroad officials and trainmen that the ovation during the run from New York to Washing ton was the most remarkable demon stration that has ever taken place along the line. Every town turned out its full population and every house and cross roads settlement turned out to see the flying special pass. Freedom of the District. The train as it reached the line of. the District of Columbia stopped a few minutes at the little station of Dean wood while the reception com mittee went through the formality of presenting the nation's guest the free dom of the district The ceremony was performed by District Commis sioner Wriirht. John Addison Porter, secretary to the President, first extended President McKinley's greetings, to which the admiral returned his thanks very briefly. Commissioner Wright then said : "Admiral Dewey, you are now in the District of Columbia, and representing ' the commissioners of the District, I have the honor of tendering you the freedom of the nation'scapital and in behalf of the people' of the District from the most exalted to the humblest citizen, I give you a sincere and cor- dial Bia1.MmA nn-i r W7 IaaI fVa frl ft &A that Washington is to be your future -borne. It is the best place in the world to have a home, and it is fitting that you who have done so much for the nation should make your future home in the nation's capital." Dewey's Reply. Admiral Dewey's reply was as brief and characteristic as all of his other speeches have been. "I thank you very much, my friends," said he, -'for this testimonial of your regards It is true that as long as I live, and I hope to live a long time, cheers I intend to live in Washington. I thank you again for , this expression." Then dropping tbe tone of formality in which this had been uttered he extend ed his hands and said heartily: "Now 1 want to see my friends. Charlie, old boy, how are you?" and he grasp fid C. C. Glover by the hand and went through the party shaking the hands of all who were within reach. In a few minutes the train was in the brilliantly lighted depot. The throng about the railway station choked the streets for blocks about. Troop H, of the Third United States cavalry, which under the command of Lieutenant Merrill was to escort the admiral to the executive mansion, had drawn up on the east side of Sixth street facing the station entrance, and the United States Marine band had formed on their right: A mighty roar went up from the crowds as the admiral alighted at the portico of the executive mansion. ne stepped irom tne car r'se, Colonel Bingham, representing the President, stepped forward to es cort him to the east room, where Sec retary Long, Assistant Secretary Al- len and a brilliant assemblage of naval uuicuuH were reaay to extend to him the greeting of the navy. Secretary Long was at the door, and as the ad miral entered, the secretary grasped his hand and with enthusiasm Baid : "Admiral, I welcome you home. This is the Navy Department for the mo ment, and your associates of the navy are assembled here to give you a hearty greeting." . : 'loan you, thank you," responded Admiral Dewey, first exchanging a few words of greeting with the secre tary and then with Mr. Aljen and the other officials. There was no formali ty, and after the greetings, Secretary Long invited the admiral to accom pany him to the President's library, where Mr. McKinley and members of the cabinet were awaiting him, Dewey Meets the President. Arm in arm. Secretary Long and the admiral proceeded by the elevator to the upper floor of the mansion. The members of the cabinet assembled in the cabinet room, while the President was alone in the library adjoining. As Secretary Long entered with the ad miral, the President came forward to greet the famous sailor, and grasping his hand wished him a hearty ,. wel come. The ' admiral acknowledged the cordial sentiments expressed by the President and then asked as to the health of Mrs. . McKinley, saying he had heard with great regret that she had. not been well. In reply, the President suggested that the admiral meet Mm McKinlsy. They stepped out to the room, which Mrs. McKinley makes a sitting room, and here found her with some of her lady friends. The admiral was presented, and received from Mrs. JlcKinley, as well as the President, a most bearty welcome home. The greetings with the cabinet were brief. Then the - President and Ad miral Dewey headed the party toward the reviewing stand. They passed out oi me rear oi tne wane House, down the gravel walks and oqt to the street in rear: The crowds seemed to know that the hero was approaching, for a great wave of cheering went up and Pennsylvania avenue was bathed in light from end to end. - r : The stand had been erected at the head of Pennsylvania avenue just south of - the Treasury department building and as Admiral Dewev moved through the stand to the -prow- built out irom its front, leaning on tne arm of President McKinley, the crowd started a mighty cheer which passed down the avenue and was taken up for blocks. The admiral frequently bowed nis acknowledgements. At the McLean Residence. It was 9.10 o'clock when the fatigued recipient of the day's demonstrations reached tne residence of Mrs. Wash ington McLean, mother of the Demo cratio candidate for Governor of Ohio, on K street, facing f arragut Square. He was accompanied by Chairman Moses, his two aides. Lieutenants Brumby and Caldwell, and his son. Geo. G. Dewey. The admiral was met at the head of the stair-case by Mrs. McLean and her daughters, Mrs. Hazen and Mrs. Ludlow, and her grandson. Capt. Fred. Burger. Mrs. McLean wel comed tne admiral and turned oyer the house to him, for use duringhis stay in Washington. Mrs. McLean and the members of her family then left, going to her country residence Beauvoir, in the suburbs of Washing ton. ; The admiral had arrived sooner than was expected and before a crowd had collected. Presently the people surged in on all sides and for some time could not believe the officer who said the admiral was inside. A band came up and serenaded the admiral, the crowd cheered, and final ly Dewey appeared at the window and bowed his acknowledgements. Cries of ""Speech, speech," were heard on everv side, but met with no re sponse. Luncheon was served by 9:30 and the admiral retired, though crowds lingered about the house for some time. " THE DANGER IN THE ROUND BALE. A Prophecy As to What Will Happen When the Square Bale is Run Out. - From the Houston (Texas) Post.' The round bale people do not come into Texas with machinery to sell. They propose to operate all the plants put in themselves, or to exact a per petual royalty as rental if any of their plants are used by others than the company. It is charged that the pro cess of ginning and baling are such that the company owning the plants will be compelled to buy the cotton in the seed and handle it from the field to the factory evidently the ulterior purpose of these round bale people. This consummation will, it can Da seen, when effected, place the handling of the cotton crop of the United States in the hands of one or two round bale compa nies. and the consequences to the South can be better imagined than de scribed. With the square bale run out, the competition in handling the crop wined out. and the millions in vested in the old-time gins and presses destroyed, the planters would be at the mercy of a monopoly strong enough to fix whatever price it pleased on cot ton. and then to hold the crop long endugb to exact from the mills its own figures. In a word, the cylindrical bale company will, after having its gin airanted andlts nackaere enforced, be absolute masters of the situation. What will become of the planters' inter eats! As the New Orleans Times- Democrat asks. Will the planter not be entirelv helpless before this huge corporation, and would he not be comnelled to take whatever the pnrnoration was disnosed to offer? Thflrfl would be no competition, and Senator McEnery, of Louisiana, de clares that the fostering of the cylin drical bale means the fostering of one of the largest trusts ever conceived by the mind of men, and the driving out of the cotton factors, exporters and SressmenI The question at once ad -ressed itself to an intelligent public and lawmakers,, whether a few present ad vantages should permit the destruction of millions of capital already invested in the old processes, and destruction of competition in the purchasing and handling of the 12,000,000 bales of American cotton, and the building up of a trust, by comparison with which the Standard Oil and Sugar trusts would be but pygmies? The trust once supreme, these present concessions and advantages to me planter would inevitably and at once be withdrawn, and the South, with all its vast business interests, which are absolutely dependent on cotton, would be in the cold, vice-like grip, of a master with an office in Wall street! . No more seri ous situation has confronted this sec tion since the war of the rebellion. Not to in some-way scotch this young and growing giant now is to be help less later on. If the benefits of this new invention were given, as in the old processes, to the public, by a sale of the plants, we might see a step for wardexisting ginning and compress ing establishments -would simply re nlnM nresent with improved ma- chinerv. though the cost would Jbe great. To refuse to do this, however, nlafRs tbe new company in a position where it can ask and expect few favors from the public. Texas, the greatest nnttnn nrnducinff State in the world. should at least be saved from the oiiifohea of this most ambitious and dangerous of all the huge monopolies.

Report That President Kruger Has Sent An Ultimatum to the British. . RUMORS OF A CONFLICT. British Preparations An Army Corps of 40,000 Men Exodus of British Prom the Transvaal Gold Shipments V Seized by Kruger. - By Cable to the Morning Btar. ' London, October 4.--The most in teresting announcement . in onnec titra with the Transvaal crisis to day is that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Right Hon. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, has already sanctioned the provisional expenditure of 3,000,000 pounds ster ling and that the government will not exceed that limit without authority from Parliament, which will be asked to vote a sum not exceeding 8,000,000 pounds. A meeting of the war board to-dav discussed and drew up arrangements to ensure the safety of the route from Durban to Laiog's Nek, so that large bodies of troops may, on disembarka tion, be rapidly forwarded up the country to the front without confusion or crowding at the base. It is stated to night that the war of fice has decided that the army corps tor service in South Africa shall be much larger than originally estimated and that it now consists of over 40,000 men. The preparations for the dis patch of this force, including the char tering of big ccean liners, is steadily and satisfactorily proceeding. Boers' Alleged Ultimatum. On the other hand, a telegram" from Brussels gives from a "well informed source" the news that Dr. Leyds, the representative in Europe of the South African Kepublic, has received con firmation of the report that President Kruger had, addressed an ultimatum to Great Britain demanding the with drawal of the British forces from the frontier within forty-eight hours, and that it was delivered on-Monday. This report, however, still lacks official con firmation. The confidence of the military au thorities at the Cape is Bhown by a dispatch received to-night from Cape Town' which stated that at a confer ence between the military authorities there and General Sir George Stewart White,. V. C, who will command the British forces in Natal, and Lieuten ant General Sir Frederick Walker, held to consider -the situation, General White expressed himself as confident that the British would be able to pre sent a force sufficient to repel any at tack. General 'White, who intended to go to Durban on board a warship, has now, in order to save time, abandoned the idea and will go by train to-night. Exodus From the Transvaal. Aline steamer. left Lorenzo Mar quez, Deiagoa nay, to day witn twelve hundred liana refugees. XArge num bers were left behind and all trains are crowded with those taking part in the exodus from the Transvaal. A dispatch from Volksrust says the Boer camp on the Natal border now comprises e.UUU men and is growing dailv. The camp breathes a religious fervor. The commissariat arms, the dispatch says, ; are defective. One of the largest corps lay in the veldt with out shelter during a heavy thunder storm. Commandant General Joubert is momentarily expected to assume com mand of tbe isoer forces. Confirmation of yesterday's report of the acquisition by the Transvaal authorities of 500,000 pounds in gold which was on the way to Cape Town from Johannesburg' was received to day. The Cape Argu asserts that the Boers made the seizure at vereen- jging, the amount being the week's shipment of gold on the way from the Kand to (jape Town, ann ior warn ed the treasur to Pretoria. A London news agentpubmhes a dis patch from Paris saying it is rumored there that a semi-official exchange of views is proceeding between Kussia, France and Germany with reference to the Transvaal crisis. Critical Situation. London, October 5. The Dailg MaiVs correspondent at Lorenzo Mar quez reports that H. M. S. Philomel has gone to Durban for the purpose of landing 100 men and a gun. Commenting editorially on the fore going dispatch, the Daily Mail says It considers that the action reported in dicates grave danger. The admiralty, says the Daily Mail, would not coun tenance such a measure except in cir cumstances of unusual . emergency, and it thinks it probable that other British warships are converging silently upon the theatre of action. A special dispatch from New Castle, Natal, dated Wednesday, says: -'The Boers have left the laager at Volks rust and are moving towards the fron tier. The situation is most criticaL The magistrates and municipal officers have assembled in the town hall to concoct measures for the defence of the town against an expected attack. All the women and children have been ordered to leave . for the interior of Natal. Fighting on the Border. Bloemfontein, Oct 5. The gov ernment' publishes a telegram irom Beshf, stating that the British forces have crossed the border and that fight ing had commenced. Another telegram says tne troops have crossed the border but that no fighting has occurred. The govern ment discredits the report. SCHOONER EDNA AND EMMA. Found Bottom Up and Towed to Saint Pierre Near Newfoundland, and Sold. . No Tidings of Crew. An Associated Press dispatch to the Stab from Baltimore, Md., says: The owners of the schooner Edna and Emma were notified to-day by the United States consul at Saint Pierre, Miquelon island, near Newfoundland, that the vessel had been towed into that port, bottom up, and sold by tbe French government. The vessel left Wilmington, N. O., April 14th for Baltimore with a cargo of lumber. She was spoken on the following day but Bince then nothing has been heard of her or her crew. She was com manded by A. K. Richardson, Jr., of Baltimore. Her crew was made up as follows: Charles Woodrich, of NortK Carolina; Winfield James, of Mary land ;D. M, Cook, of Georgia; J. M. Daniel.- of New York; George L. Boynton, of Tennessee, and R. C. Gil bert, of Maryland. " It is presumed that the vessel cap sized when near Hatteras and drifted along the coast until picked up and towed to Saint Pierre. The monetary loss is estimated at $7,00Q. MORE FIGHTING IN TBE PHILIPPINES. Insurgent Forces Moving to Get in Rear of the American Gar- ' risons on the Railway. TWO ATTACKS ON CAtAMBA. Filipinos Repulsed With Severe Loss Two ' Americans Killed and Sevea Wounded. More U. S. Warships Ordered to Proceed to Manila. , - By Cable to the Morning Star.' Manila, October 4. Several hun dred insurgents have re-occupied Porac, which was captured by Gen. Mac Arthur , on September 28th and evacuated by the Americans the fol lowing day The insurgent, forces are ; also reported moving toward Mexico, southeast of Angeles. The object of the. double movement is, ap parently, to get behind the American garrison on both sides of the Manila Dagupan railway. '. .. . Reconnoisance from Mexico by the Fourth cavalry toward Santa Ana, northeast of Mexico, and toward Ara yat, due north of Santa Ana, devel oped the fact that the insurgents are in position at both points. An Amer ican private was killed in the skirmish at Santa Ana. The Arayal party learned that Scott and Edwards, of the Twenty-fifth in fantry, who are missing, are prisoners at Magalay (Magalang). - " Insurgents Attack Calamba. The insurgents yesterday made 1 wo attacks on Calamba, in which the com manding officer reports sixty Filipinos were killed and many wounded. Two companies of the Twenty-first regi ment repelled each attack, losing two men killed and seven wounded. Bolo men surprised an American outpost near Guagua, killing two pri vates. The other two escaped. ,t While four sailors of the United States cruiser Baltimore were entering the.Bacoor river in a boat yesterday after the fight they received a volley whicb wounded three. It is under stood that the volley came from Uni ted States soldiers, who. having been ordered to prevent the passing of boats, fired by mistake upon the Bal- timore s men. , Vessels Ordered to Manila. Washington, October 4. The Pre sident to-day directed the immediate dispatch to the Philippines of a num ber of vessels of the navy, including the cruiser Brooklyn and the gunboats Marietta and Machias. The action is the result of Admiral Dewey's interview to-day in which he went over the ' Philippine situation with the President. The orders given are in line with the expressed determination of the President to furnish the army and navy resources for stamping out the Philippines insurrection in the earliest Dossible time. At Admiral Dewey's ex tended interview with the President to- dav the former went into the Philip nine situation .at great length, explain- lne carefully the existing condition of affairs and his views of the outlook, concluding with an earnest recommen dation that tbe Brooklyn and some other vessels be sent at once to the Philippines. This reinforcement . of the present fleet of the Asiatic squadron he urged as necessary, and said their dispatch should be di rected as early as possible. The Presi dent immediately communicated with the jNavy .uepariment ana iubitucku Secretary Long to issue an order car- rvinsr out the Admiral's recommenda tion. and to see that the vessels be got in readiness at once. Besides the Brooklyn, Marietta and Machias, the other vessels have not yet been select ed. The Brooklyn is now with the North Atlantic squadron off Tomp kinsville. The Machias and the Ma rietta are at the navy yard in this city, on waiting orders, having been brought here to participate m this week's cei ebration in honor or Admiral Dewey, These reinforcements will add consid erable strength to the Asiatic squad ron. and the administration believes their presence will have amaterial ef feet in expediting tne ena oi nosmi ties. The Brooklyn is an armored cruiser of the first rating, carrying twenty main battery guns, having a total dis placement of 9.215 tons, and is so well thouerht of bv Bear Admiral Schley that he desired that she be assigned as his flagship in the new South Atlantic squadron. The Marietta is a composite gunboat of 1,000 tons displacement and with a main battery equipment of six guns, and the Machias. with a displacement of 1,177 tons, carries a battery of eight cruns. Their commanders- are all veterans of long experience. Attack Upon Paranque. Manila, Oct. 5. An attack upon Paranque was made by the insurgents lastnignt, andrenei sympatnizers in the town set fire to a number of build- in cs. Colonel Daeeett repulsed the attack and declined offers of assistance from Bacoor. The extent of the dam- acre done bv the fires has not yet been learned. " FOR THE GOLD STANDARD.

After a poor start the market for cotton futures developed pronounced strength and closed witn bullish sentiment pre dominating. The volume of specula tion was smaller, thoufrh trading was by no means tame. When the mar ket opened smaller holders were dis appointed to find that Liverpool had lost an early gain of two points. Local bears sola quite freely on this news durine the first hour, causing a drop of six to nine points, four to six of which were recorded on the call. Later, these same traders, upon finding that their efforts to depress prices were not successful, turned buyers. The upward movement which fol lowed was accelerated by news that spot markets South were excited and higher, with predictions of smaller re ceipts. Wall street, New Orleans, Europe and shorts later became sub stantial buyers and before a breathing spell was taken the early loss had been entirely wiped out and a net rise of five to six points established. Reports of frost in the Northwest and of a dispo sition among planters to refuse the bids of factors for such parts of the crop as was already gathered, increased the bullish sentiment. The crop move ment fell considerably below general expectations and receipts at the ports for the week thus ! far are now fully 75,000 bales behind the movement for a like time last year. The market closed steady at a net gain of two to four points. i New York. October 4.
