Some at liarlnn Cm Enthusiastic scenes marked the Presidents arrival at the Cross station. As the president, nr. companied by King George, emerged from the station the crowds jamming the streets broke into prolonged cheers.

There was a guard on honor from the Scots Guards, while the band of the Grenadier Guards played the Banner." The King and Queen and Princess Mary greeted President Wilson with cordiality and they in turn evidently were impressed most favorably with the general reception to the President. President Wilson accompanied by King George and the Duke of Con-naught, inspected the guard of honor, after which they returned to a space immediately in front of the car in which they had traveled from Dover. Premier Lloyd-George and the members of the reception committee were then presented to the President.

Trnflio Suspended.

The scene within the station was unusual. All traffic had been suspended and the station was decorated with flags and crimson carpet. At the entrance and at the platform where the presidential train arrived there were triumphal arches with shrubs and flowers and surmounted by golden eagles. The reserved inclosure opposite the President's car was resplendent with showers of bunting. In the inclosure with the King and Queen were gathered Great Britain's leading statesmen, her great naval and military leaders and a number of American officers.

ROYAL SALUTE FIRED AS PRESIDENT'S PARTY ARRIVES AT DOVER Dover, England, December 26 The weather was bright and crisp this morning and Dover wore a festal appearance with its decorations and its animated throngs ready to welcome President and Mrs. Wilson. Their arrival was signaled by the firing of a royal salute. Large crowds lined the Admiralty pier and its approaches long before the President came ashore. The Duke of Connaught, with his suite, accompanied by John W.

Davis, the American Ambassador; the Earl of Heading, British Ambassador to the United States; Lord Herschell and the Mayor and the Corporation of Dover were on tho pier to meet the visitors. The Mayor presented an address of welcome to the President, which was read by Sir A. Bodking, the city's Recorder. In reply to the address of welcome President Wilson said: "We have come through many serious times together and therefore can regard each other in a new light as comrades and associates, because nothing brings men together like a common understanding and a common purpose. "It is therefore with deep emotion and peculiar gratification that I find myself here afforded with opportunity of matching my mind with the minds of those who, with a like Intention, are proposing to do the best they can and that can bo done in tho great settlement, of the struggle." President.

Wilson then reviewed the Guard of Honor from the naval garrison of Dover. The scene In the harbor as the Presidential vessel entered was an animated one. Airplanes and seaplanes in large numbers circled overhead, while tho warships in the harbor, which joined the shore batteries in firing the salute, were gaily dressed with bunting. The crews manned ship and cheered as the Presidential boat passed Into the harbor. Qnick, Smooth Channel Voyage.

The steamer Brighton, on which the President crossed the Channel, had a quick and smooth passage and arrived at Dover just about midday. She rwas met at Calais by Sir Charles Cust, 1he King's Equerry, and Vice Admiral Sir Knger Keyes, who accompanied the party to Dover. Four French de- stroyers escorted the Brighton to mid-Channel, where British destroyers and a dozen airplanes took over the duty. As the Brighton entered the har-hor the salute in honor of tho President was fired from Dover Castle. This was the first time since the beginning of the war that this honor and their crews lining inn i-au.

iiio Hrttrhton nnH sighted had played "God Save tho King, now look up i no hiuj- Spangled Banner," each ship's whole company standing at attention. Brighton Hew lhvsldi'iit's The Brighton was flying tho President's Hag, Admiral Keyes' pennant and the British naval ensign. Mrs. Wilson, who was on deck, took the greatest interest in the evolutions of the British destroyers. The President, who appeared in splendid spirits when he stepped ashore, was Immediately greeted by the Duke of Connaught and the other members of tho welcoming party.

After reviewing the Guard of Honor ho passed through the covered way to the station, where the Mayor and tho Corporation In their scarlet robes of ottiee. extended formal welcome. As President Wilson walked to the train a dozen girls wearing the American colors strewed petals of roses In his path. All this timo the airplanes had been hovering over the pier and I the station, and the special train I hearing the President left for the capital the airmen also headed for Lnn-I don. accompanying the train all the i way.

The fire-boat Thomas Willett, with John Ken-Ion, chief of the Fire Department, and Fire Commissioner Thomas iB. Pren-nan, was one of the first to leave.

The roar of gigantic naval guns, the shrilling of whistles from tugs and palrol boats and the whistling or tne keen, damp snow that whirled up from the upper bay did not entirely deaden the mighty cheers that rang out from the throats of the great throngs of people in Battery Park as the battleship Arizona, leading the great fleet, loomed up out of the heavy blanket of mist and snow that lay over the water and steamed up past the Mayflower with three largo American flags flying from her two masts and her aft peak. Hundreds of snow-covered men, women and children, who had gathered in Battery Park, on the roofs of Whitehall. South Ferry, Barge and other buildings and other points of vantage early this morning, bravely buffeted the gale and, waving hats, handkerchiefs and flags, cheered a lusty welcome to the battleships.

From the windows of the large office buildings the figures of stenographers and clerks gesticulated In frantic enthusiasm and could be seen outlined against the electric lighted interors of the offices. On the roof of the Barge Office the South Ferry Building and the old Aquarium, warmly dressed people stood and watched. The gale was too strong to permit of cheering, but the very fact of their presence on their porches exposed to the snow and rain was sufficient evidence of their interest and enthusiasm.

Says Riegelmtinn, Expfaining ApprppKations. Proposals to reaoina between $800,000 In appropriations for Brooklyn Improvements will come before the Board of Estimate, tomorrow ln''adai(lon' tft'tlto proposition "tw re-, scind the $9,000,000 set aside tor the Brooklyn Marginal Railroad. The calendar contains about 40 items, including among others, resolutions for the recision of $140,167 for a bridge over Bheepsbead Bay at Ocean $100,088 for building water.t mains under the past Riveu; AltlO.OQO for the improvement of -Dyker Beach Park and $80,000 for construction work on the Museum of Arts and Sciences. Borough President Riegelmann, however, declared today that in nearly every case, except that of the marginal railroad, the proposed resclsions did not mean the abandonment of the improvements for which the money had been originally set aside. Twenty-one of the Items mentioned, he said, were improvements that had been finished and the resclslon proposal merely meant the turning back into the general fund of the surplus money left after the contract had been completed.

In other instances, he said, the res-cision was to be made in order to appropriate the money under the new law by which bonds for public Improvements are supposed to be Issued for a term of years equal to the estimated life of the improvement. Hearing on Marginal Railroad. "I approve of the proposal' to rescind in every case except that of tho marginal railroad," said Mr. Riegelmann today. "I have' served notice that I cannot approve of anything that might delay the marginal Improvement.

The Board of Estimate, at my request, is to hold a public hearing on that proposition Monday morning at 11 o'clock. I have conferred with a large number of Brooklyn business interests and we will try to convince the Board of Estimate that this improvement Is necessary immediately for our business development here. "In the case of Dyker Beach Far, one reason for the rescision is because the money, under the present plan, would be raised partly by corporate stock and partly by budgetary appropriation, and another reason is that the Board of Estimate does not want to appropriate moneys that will not be expended this year. The plan to improve Dyker Beach Park will not be abandoned, but will be continued, the appropriations to be made as the work progresses. "As for the Sheepshead Bay bridge the present appropriation raises the money partly by budgetary appropriation and partly by 15-year corporate stock bonds, whereas, under the new law it should be raised by bonds whose lives should run for the estimated life of the improvement I should say at least forty years."

COMPANY DICTATES OWN TERMS TO CITY FOR ASH REMOVAL Brooklyn Is threatened with a gigantic accumulation of ashes and rubbish unless the Hoard of Estimate take quick action, either In approving the latest hid of the Brooklyn Ash Removal Company or making arrangements to have the work done by the Street Cleaning Department Less than a week remains. of the lifo of the five-year contracts the city has with the Brooklyn Ash Removal Company.

If tho agreement is not renewed before January 1 the company will quit, Inasmuch as this company owns all of the Inland and waterfront ash dumps in Brooklyn I ho city is at a great disadvantage In respect to the final disposal of ashes and rubbish. Under the contract now in force tho company did the work at 63 cents per load of ashes and 10 cents per load of rubbish. For tho next three vears it wants $1.36 for ashes and $1 i'or rubbish. The company's first bid. submitted several months ago, and amounting to $1.40 for both ashes and rubbish, was rejected hy the Hoard of Jlstimate as too Acceptance would have meunt on additional expenditure for final disposal in Brooklyn alone of nearly The new bid nlso Is far above thn compensation allowed the company In tho existing contract, but the Board will probably be compelled to lt.

As to this matter the city authorities find themselves in a cul-de-sac. Street Cleaning Commissioner Arnold B. MacSlay has admitted that liis department cannot do tho work, because the city Is without waterfront dumps. At both bid openings the Brooklyn Ash Removal Company had no serious competitors, because for the removal of ashes nnd rubbish in this borough an extensive plant is required, which would cost a new contractor about $2,000,000. I'nniniisKioiier MarStny expects Hint the Board of Estimate will take aclion In tho matter at Its meeting tomorrow.

He has recommended approval of the Brooklyn Ash Removal Company's proposal, for tho reason, ho said, that there was no other way out of tho difficulty as far us he could see.
