the laying- of theoorner stone for the

McKinley and members of the cabinet
has made the occasion one of great

Secretary Root responded. Senator
Fairbanks, of Indiana, responded to
the toast of "The Present Administra
tion," and James E. Boyd, of North
Carolina to the toast "Republicanism in
the South." - President McKinley made
a few. remarks.
FAIRBANKS' ADDRESS.
Senator Fairbanks' speech, which
Was regarded as the chief address .of
the evening, was in part as follows:
The present , administration! needs
neither an apologist nor a eulogist.
Its imperishable record is written and
is before the world. It is an adminis
traJtion of arduous deeds done, which
lift it above the dead level of history.
It has been confronted with great ques
tions of domestic policy"; it has solved
them. It allso has encountered grave
foreign problems, k-nd well it has met
them. No emergency has been so
great, or exigency so severe that it
has not been met on the high plane of
national duty and national honor.
"Few administrations ever succeeded
to power with more weighty responsi
bilities or of which there were more
exMted - expectations. . There were
years of distress, ,yeaim of' Hopelessness
and crippled enterprise hack of us.
There was a Macedonia cry from all
sections of the land 'for relief for de
liverance . . i.
'The administration was essentially
pledged to the maintenance of the pub
lic credit, the public faith. Public cred
it is preserved, yes, it was never so
high at home and abroad as it is in
this historic hour." f "
"Were ihe present administration
committed to a debased free silver cur
rency and free trade, the . splendid
transformation we have witnessed
would have been an utter and abso
lute impossibility, and the calamities ;
firom which we have, successfully and
happily escaped would have been but
multiplied."
. JUSTICE OF OUR WAR..
Mr. Fairbanks reviewed -the causes
tihat (led to the war with Spain and
said:
"A crisis was at hand, as sharp and
severe as could possibly confront, the
government; a crisis which comes but
seldom in the life of a nation, and yet
too oft. The administration with one
hand delayed the oncoming" torm,
while with the other it pushed with all
possible despatch the coaist defenses,
the purchase of munitions of war, and
the enlargement of the navy, which
was Ito give such spTendid report of it
self. The crisis was, supreme," and it
was superbly .met.' When the order
for 'action jcamey "She congress of the
United States, interpreting the heart
and conscience and the inexorable de
termination, of the .American people,
declared f or war. Spain's fatal hour
had om'e. "The administration was
prepared to execute the decree of con
gress; it was ready to strike. .The
thunderbolt of war feM, first in the' qfb
scure harbor o? Manila, today the best
known, harbor on earth,
v "The supreme demand of the Ameri
can people was voiced in. the order of
the ' administration, which! flashed to
jHong Kongrf Fina the spamsn neex
Haw well this order
and executed, fti
PEACE VS. WAR.
"But it has been said with some
unction that the adminisitjration did not
desiire war. Be it so. it is a grave
matter to start the enginery of 75,000,
000 people, brave and proud, though
just they are. Finite mind can com
pass the beginning; but omniscience
alone can set the boundaries of ite
ending. .
"It will indeed be a fatal hour for
the republic when the president'' of the
United States shall love peace less
than war.
"The administration sought no sordid
ends no territorial aggrandizement. It
sought no Napoleonic extension of em
pire; it desired only peace, with her
boundless joys, ner limi'aess possibili
ties; peace, of which the country had
been so long enamored. It had added
Hawaii to our domain through the in
strumentality of diplomacy, and from
the dictates of the highest statesman
ship in the national interest; but it
coveted no other lands and no other
people. Hawaii was, indeed, rttrophy
enough to signalize an administration.
"The congress, with due deliberation
and with exceptioniafl. unanimity, de
clared war, and the senate of the
United States, after protracted de
bate, ratified the treaty of peace.
"With the treaty came new and re
mote lands, new peoples,, new and un
expected responsibiliities; but they earne
as the logical sequence of war, and not
as the fruit of its supreme purpose.
FOR HUMANITY'S SAKE.
"The sword was drawn in ithe high
and fholy cause of v humanity, it was
drawn to liberate peoples from bar
barous, tyrannical mile, from horrors
which disgraced savagery:
"By the articles of peace Porto Rico
is ours, to be administered as an ex
alted sense of justice ..shall require.
"Cuba is committed to us in trust,
and is to be given stable and suitable
government, according to our pledge.
"The Philippines are ours, by title
absolute, unassailable. They have
come to us, and are ours by right uni
versally recognized among the nations
of the earth. They passed to the juris
diction of the United States by the
cession of the treaty of peace, duly
ratified and exchanged by the two
powers engaged in the war. With the
extension of our sovereignty there
came, the duties which American sov
ereignty implies the enforcement of
law and order, the . preservation of the
peace. A portion of the inhabitants of
ithe islands' denied the supremacy of
the United States in the archipelago.
They challenged the exalted purpose
of the government; they wantonly fir
ed upon the American troops pending
the ratification of the treaty of peace.
Without the pretense of provocation or
the shadow of justification, they have
assailed the flag1 whose mission is mer
ciful. ' ' 1
"The administration! resisted the at
tack and did what the 'people of th
TTnBted States idesirekl it should; it did

WITH THREE MILES YET
TO GO TO THE MARK.
New York, Oct. 7. The third attempt
to sail the first of the series or races
between rtihe Columbia and the Sham
rock today resulted in another fluke.
It was (almost a repetition of the two
previous" attempts. The time limit
within which the race should be sailed
expired when the yachts were abmif-
three miles from the finish, and at
that time both were on nracticallv
even terms. Although Iselin em
phatically declared the Columbia was
leading when the signiaO;' sounded from
the judge's boat, declaring the race
off, Lipton was eauallv PTrmhntiV tiiar
the Shamrock was in the lead.
The course was the same as on
the
be-
preceding day's run, fifteen miles
fore the wind -and beat home. x
EARLY INDICATIONS.
There wias every indication at
the'
start or a splendid race, if the wind
held, for it was then blowing at the
rate, cf -twelve to fifteen knots, -but
after the race had been on half an
hour it had dwindled to six to eight
knots.
The yachts presented a pretty sighr
as they jockeyed for the start. The
Columbia was to the leeward, but
ahead of the challenger when the start
ing gun boomed, and with Uie wind
abeam she , sped across the starting
line at 11:21.02. The Shamrock came
thundering along close behind, cross
ing at 11:21.19.
Immediately after crossing the Sbam-
icck endeavored to luff up to windward
of the Columbia, and for. a time she
drew up on almost even terms.
STOLE COLUMBIA'S'. WIND.
At 11:39 the Sham roc k got her5 lival
ctvered and the Columbia's sails Ve
gan to bag. A minute after the Co
lumbia broke out her spinnaker, and
1he Shamrock tried to imitate her out,
but her tackling beann entangled,
and while two of the crew were en
deavoring to get it cle'ir the Columbia
chew away. By noon she had a lead
cf fully four lengths. The sails of
both yachts were drawing well, and it
was a merry race at hig'h speed for the
mark . i
'Shortly after this the wind dropped
a bit, but the yachts were making
fine headway. The 3harn.- :k's fii!.
seemed fuller, and she was drawing up
on her rival, and at 12:15 was on
most even terms.
A LIVELY RACE.
They raced along in this posit) m f c r
many minutes, when finaMy at 12:45
the Shamrock quickly hauled down
her spinnaker and gybed her mniri
boom to starboard, and with her big
sail drawing full came along at a rap
id rate.
The Columbia, in following the ex
ample of her rival, lost considerable Of
her headway, while hauling in her
spinnaker, and the ShamrojK not ony
overhauled but passed her. Sne soon-
had a clear lead of two lengths and
edged over into the Yankee boat's wa

her wake.

lead to a quarter of a mile. The yachts
were now only two milesi from vhe
turning mark, and the Columbia, get
ting her sails in better trim, began to
draw up.
As they ploughed their way twaid
the mark the Columbia showed 'iie
greater speed and cut down a laree
part of the Shamrock's lead. It was
a pretty race to the end of the fis
leg.
The Shamrock turned the mark at
1:36.25 and the Columbia -at 1:26.34.
She had gained nine seconds, which,
added to uhe seventeen she was behind
at the start, gave her a gain of iwen-ty-six
seconds.
A TACKING CONTEST.
After rounding the mark a tacking
duel followed, during which the Sham
rock crossed the Columbia's bows
twice. The Columbia finding .rhe was
being1 worsted at tacking stood to ea
where she got a stronger wind and was
able to point higher. 'She gained con-
Isiderably, but about this time the wind
oegan to die out, and it was apparent
that the race could not be finished in
the prescribed time.
The breeze became flifkey. First one
boat got a slant which sent her ahrad

would die out and both drifted along,
until 4:30, when the time expired and
the judge's "boat signalled the race off.
At that time they were practically .n

THE SPANISH FLAG
Spaniards in Havana Incensed at Ore e:
Prohibiting its Display. "
Havana, Oct. 7. The order of the
mayor, prohibiting the display of the
Spanish flag, except on the Spanish
consulate, is the absorbing topic here.
Spaniards denounce it as another of
the many persecutions to which they
have been subjected since the Ameri
cans took control. The Cubans de
clare the order just. Opinion is di
vided among the Americans, the ma
jority regarding the order as ill ad
vised.
While the order bears the mayor's
name,, it was issued only atter consul
tation with General Ludlow, and it,
therefore, appears to bear the stamp
of American approval.
SPANISH INDIGNATION.
The Spanish consul general is in
censed, and declares he will not dis
play the flag over the consulate. He
says if the assertion is true ithat the
display of the flag has caused disor
ders in various parts of Havana, it
would create more trouble if displayed
over his official residence. He says
the flag should be allowed to be dis
played as an evidence of friendly re
lations between Spain and the United
States, 'and intends to protest to the
United States. He has already in
formed the Spanish ambassador at
Washington of the recent demonstra
tion of anti-Spanish feeling here.

i
London, Oct. 7. The government to
day summoned parliament in special
session, and ordered the mobilization of
an army corps without even present
ing the demands on the Transvaal,
which will constitute the British casus
belli. '
There is no longer any doubt that
England hopes that circumstances
will arise which will precipitate war
without the necessity of delivering the
threatened Ultimatum.
England's convenience will be best
suited by the maintenance of the
present situation! for a fortnight, to
enable her to further prepare, and then
some aggressive action on the part of
the Boers on the Natal frontier, which
she would be able to stigmatize as an
act of war.
England hopes by maintaining a de
fensive policy during the first few
weeks of the war and enabling the
Boers to win minor successes to in
flame public opinion into a unanimous
demand for a cirushing of the two
South African republics. British forces
by that time being ready to undertake
aiv overwhelming1 " campaign and the '
real war will begin.
SUMMONS TO THE-SiBSSRVES.
The Gazette announces -that sum
monses will be..is.sued for the number
of reserves necessary to bring every j
battalion ordered to South Africa- to
its full strength of 1,000 men, and the
men must be present themselves be
fore October 17. This forward move
ment here is fully counterbalanced by
stories of military preparations in the
Transvaal and Orange Free .State.
The British and Boers are so close
together" along the western frontiers' of
the Transvaal the patrols meet night
ly. The appearance of many sufferers
is said Ito be deplorable. The exodus
of Cape Dutchmen toward the Trans
vaal increases . All seem to be smug
gling arms across the frontier.
