The grassy heights of both Wads worth and Hamilton were thronged with spectators as the Olympia ap proached the Narrows. Suddenly a tongue cf red flame leaped from tho granite side of Fort Wadsworth, and like the recoil came a streak of hra from the granite wall on the oppesito side. Then, alternately, from eath tide, came the deafening roar of an ad miral's fcalute of 17 gtfhs.

The sky yt.s blue, the water rippled under the fresh wind Jh&t held out flags straight and Jaunty, and the wharves and piers aud rocky heights and grassy knolls v.ert black with frantic, enthusiastic peo ple, who Etrived weakly to make their shouts heard above the perfect bedlam of tooting whistles that accompanied the admiral ashore and afloat. The fleet anchored and reviewed the almost endless precession cf cratf that steamed past, all ro burdened with hu manity that it seemed as if they would turu turtle before thsy got Inck to their piers. Toward the end cf the parade, .the line b c:nii t iaarjan z:d and it took hours for the heterogene ous flotilla to get by. Darkness at last brought rel.ef to the tired admir al who had fctocd on the bridge tor six hours, bowing his acknowledgments to the stentorian expres- loa of homage. New York has never before witnessed anything approaching this wcnde.ful, roaiarkable demonstration. The Co lumbian naval parade, the dedication of Grant's tomb and the reception of the North Atlantic Squadron last fall, all pale before this gigantic ovation to the sailer, who in a single morning destroyed an enemy's fleet without ' e lots of a man or a ship. It is not be yond the mark to say that S.CO0.CO0 people viewed the pageant from a&hore and that 250,000 were afloat. The formal welcome of New Vcrk t- Admiral Dewey was extended In the forenoon, when the mayor and a, dis tinguished bedy of over 1,000 officials and guests, including the special wel coming committee, called on the ad miral. The party went cut on the big steamer Sandy Ho:k, escorted by the police baat Patrol. The ceremony, v.-Lieh began at 11 o'clock, was cf short duraton. The party included Governor McSweeney, of South Carolina; and McMillan, cf Tennessee; Arcbbir-hop Corrigan; .Sen ator Depew, Richa-d Crcker, and some cf Admiral Dewey's relatives. Had it been possiDle for Admirai Dewey to have obtain ed a bird's eye view cf Greater New York he would have seen in his honor the greater number cf individuals ever attarcted by a sngie man or a single idea. The estimates of those who helped cele brate Dewey's arrival run from 2,500, 000 upwards. The land parade Saturday capped the climax. The city, State and nation united in oni vast demonstration wor thy cf the hero of Manila. The earth trembled beneath the tread of 50,000 men, and the air was torn with shouts of millions. The naval parade of Frl day was magnificent and a superb spectacle, but the wonder of mcaern times was the great land parade. Thousands of proud men of our land and sea forces, militia cf fifteen States:, and tha veterans of the Civil and Spac- Uh-Americao Wars swelled the preces sion and gave it the dignity in size that it boasted in sentiment. Walls of people miles long stretched down tho line of march on either side, a dense impregnable mass.- Fifth Avenue from Fifty-ninth' street to tne Washington arch at Fourth" street, where the parade disbanded, was solidly packed with spectators, Who overflowed "Into the buildings, windows and on the root lines, sat in embrasures and crowded scaffolding, Along Broadway, where it crossed the avenue,, the sky-scrapers were ab crowded at the top as at the bottom, and for blocks down the intersecting streets tenants hung from the windows and fire escapes, and multitudes of them were ca the roofs of flats on their stomachs peering down. For hours they waited patiently and good-naturedly to eee Dewey, and when they saw him they waited cn uncon sciously fox three hours and a half while the prioceselon pastel. Far down this living -line the column marched while the air was gorgeous with the mist of banners and vibrating with shouts of welcome and admiration, the clatter of horses' hoofs when the cav alry sabers flashed and plumes "waven, the rumble of artillery, the snard of drams, the clear-drawn bugle call and the blare of military bands. At the given, signal, the platoon of police advanced, clearing away the crowds that Overflowed over into the street. Some i'.tlle dlstanee benma, oa a bay horse, rode ' Major General Charles B. Roe, .N. G. N. Y., followed by his staff. Then came Sousa'a Band playing a spirited air, and . behind il was a battalion of sailers from the Olympia. Theai followed' the carriage. of Ad miral Dewey, by whose side was seated the mayor of th city. In response to the cheers c& thie thousands of specta tors, the Admiral bowed: xght azd iefC ftud appeared gteatly pleased at thfe wftneth -of .hl;xeei)tian. Following wcr. three 'carriages cq&. Municipal Council, followed in.'a car rage and after them came Rear Ad miral HowUoti's officata. Theu came the carriage containing Rear Admiral William Sampson and President Weoda, of the Board cf Al dermen, followed by iKht carriage containing the commanding officers o Admiral Sampson's fleet; and the Aft mlral'ji ataff officers. Rear Admiral John W. rhllip, com mander of the Navy Yard. SL Clilr McKelway and Lieutenant Command er J. D.,J. Kelley, occupied the neit carriage. Following came two carriages abreast, containing the junior officers "of the Olympla, and after them In. the same formation carriages containing the junior officers of the North At lantic Squadron. Carriages two abreatt followed, contalarjng the visiting gov ernors, committees and guests. First among the governcra came tun noil, of Delaware, then Stone, of Pennsylvania. Voorhees. of New Jer sey. McSweeney. of South Carolina. Russell, of North Carolina, Dyer, of Rhode eland, McMiilin, of Tcnncaee, Bushnell, of Ohio, Gero, of Oregon. At klnson, of West Virginia. Richards, of Wyoming, and Wells, of Utah. Major General Miles and Merrilt and aides followed ia carriage? abreast and then came a carriage containing Rear Admirals Joseph N. Miller and Win field Scott Schley. A brigade of the regular army came next with West Point Cadets at the head, and after them a battalion of fen giueers. two battalions of the Fifth Ar tilery, a battalion of the Seventh Ar tillery, a battalion cf mounted police. Following came the mliiiia cf the various States with that of New York in the van, commanded by Governor Roosevelt with Squadron A as escort. Then cams the militia of Pennsyl vania, under command of Brigadier General Schail, with five regiments. The militia of New Jersey came nexi, commanded by Brigadier General Wan ser, with two regiments, two naval re serve battalions, a battery and a troop. The citizens and soldiers of Georgia were next In line, commanded by Col onel Lawtou, with two regimenU cad detachments from Savannah. A fine looking fcedy of soldiers were the Fourth and Fifth regiments . of Maryland, commanded by Colonel Wil liard Howard. South Carolina had one regiment of volunteers, two battalions and the Sumter Guards, the Timmons ville Guards, the Sniythe Rifles and a number of volunteers and detached companies. '' Three companies represented North Carolina, the Fayetteville Independent Light Infantry making a showy ap pearance. Following theae, under the command cf Major General O. O. Howard, with an escort from the various veteran so clciks, came the unarmed part of the parade. This was composed of eleven commands representing as many dif' fereut associations. Then came the Sons of Veterans, fol lowed by Union ex-Prteoners of War Association, Veterans cf the Civil War not connected with any of the orgitt izatiens and Veterans of the Spanish American War with CoJonel John Jacnb Astor Battery. Then followed several companies of volunteers cf the Spanish American War, the parade terminating with a heterogenous following cf veterans military .and quasi-military associa tions. Seventeen aerial bombs from the top of the Waldcrf-Astcria heralded the annroach to the reviewing stand In Madison Square. Then cams the hero, the admiral and the officers of the fleet, in all the glory of their gold laced uniforms and Koldtrimtned cocked hats. All were In open oarouches, and at their head waa the man of the hour. Major Van Wyck sat beside Admiral Dewey in the carriage. The front seat waa banked- with beautiful floral pieces. The pco pie did not have to give a Eceond glance at the man whose features have been blazea every-wJhere for (weeks. He was recognised on the Instant, and the cheers and hurrahs that had greeted the Olympia's men seemed tame com pared with the shout that was raised. It seemed fairly to lift the aky. There is no perceivable kind of notee the pec pie did not make. Everybody waved and cheered and nearly everybody jumped np and down In frantic en thusiasm. Old men were as enthusi astic as boys and just about as noisy. Admiral Dewey during his last few days experience has become somewhat ac customed to these vociferous greetings, and he took it all calmly, smllllng and bowing right and left and occasionally lifting his gold trimmed beaver as he rode along. The gallant Captains of the ships en gaged in the destruction of Montejo's fleet, except poor Gridley, who died a month after the battle, followed and also got a rousing welcome The three Rear Admirals, Howison, Sampsca and Philip, as they rode b7 with their brilliantly accoutred staffs, were easily recognized and got flatter ing applause, a5 did many of the popu lar officers of the North Atlantic Squadron. The governora of the sev era! States who rode in carriages, though many of them were popular and would have received big .demonstra tions at any other time, passed almost unnoticed. They yearned only for the braes buttons and gold lace of nailitari and naval heroes and would hare ncth ing else. k Both Major General Miles and Majo: General Merritt got ovations.

From the top, in a quadriga drawn through roll ing billows by pinging sea horues, Vic tory, with outstretched wings and a laurel wreath in her hand, typical of the reward to the victor, reared her beautiful outlines against the blue sky. On the attic are heroic figures of John Paul Jones, Hull. Perry, Decatur. Far ragut, and ether naval heroes, while cn the faces of the piers are magnificent groupes symlfolkal of combat, the re tain of tha victors, the call to arm?, and peare, and on the apandrils are groups representing the North and Hast Rivers and the Atlantic and Pa ciflc Oceans. The arch faces the sea. Tho approaches are guarded by tall. colionades, transforming the' street at the reviewing booth into a court of honor. All about Madiscn Square the decorations charmed the eye. Flags cn-wires ran from the tall tower cf tho Madison Square- .Garden and all the facades as far as the eye could sec- up and down Fifth Arenue were brilliant ly ar&yed with bunting and flags. The national streamers- flew from the cor nices and a thouca-nd box kites floated high into the blue sky. Here the Ad miral reviewed the entire parade.

This is th? meaning of English imperialism; we see that police control is necessary, I! toe control of civilization and bar barism Is not to be a continued curst to mankind: there mast be stronr civil authority established to keep the peace and punish the wrong-doer, whether black or white, and English men are ready to undertake this police control, wherever we are called on.tc ejeereb-e it.
