There were a number . of notable pints at the banquet. Including the Duke of Marlborough, Karl Denbigh, of the Honorable Artillery company; Lord Patty, General Ian Hamilton, Oilbert Parker, Major Arthur Lee, formerly military attache, at.' Washington, now tlril lord of the Admiralty, Sir Mon- agu F. Ommany, Major. ttudworth, of the Honorable Artillery company, and ieveral members of the House of Com mons. , The Puke of Marlborough proposed a tonst to President ' Hooscvelt, and addressing himself to the interests which England and the United States have In common,' referred in termB of highest praise, to Preident Roosevelt and spoke feelingly of the lnste Sir Michael Herbert. - Ambassador Choate, responding to the toast to his health, which was pro poned In complimentary terms by Lord Davey, took Up. the Duke of- Marlbor ough's reference to the, mutual sympa thies of the British "and American peo ples and said -there had been reason hereofore lo suspect. ome Such senti ment on the part of the duke, since, he had set an example in one form' of the Anglo-American, alliance, on which the people of both countries looked witn entire approval. j ; Turning to Mr, Oryarv'Mr. Choate snid that It .was the . custom of Ameri cans torn from their natlveshores to Rather annually and return, thanks. The. American society in London had now among, them another of these ex iles for whom he presonally, ' he, as ambassador, had been doing' the best he could. He had tuken Mr.. Bryan to visit the Bank of England, where he was able to study the fiscal question in Its native lair. The company would be edified, said Mr Choate, if they had heard Mr.' Bryan conversing with the governor of the bank. Mr. Choate Mid hp had aken Mr. Bryan to see Mr. t'hnmberlaln, Mr. Balfour and Lord Churchill all within eight hours, so 11 hla views en the fiscal question were not utterly mixed they would appre ciate at least the quality of the man they had before them. The speech of the ambassador was followed by an ovation to Mr. Bryan which lasted for several minutes. Mr. Bryan In responding, paid a graceful trlbue to the English guests,xot the so ciety. He said he highest compliment he was able to pay was that In look. Ing over the tables he was unable to distinguish the English from the American women present. He thanked the British nation for the kindly for ueiirance It had shown in receiving nun, me protectionists for letting him land nUnll and the gold bugs for not having deported him immediately after his arrival. Mr. Bryan said he had profited exceedingly by his visit to the Bank of England. He wanted to call attention, however, to the fact that the murderous attack by an insane mnn upon Mr.. Kenneth Grayson, the secre tary of the bank, occurred the day be fore he called. Mr. Bryan spoke eloquently of the natural resources and advantages of the United States for which the people must return thunks to God, and of the Ideals of liberty and progress for which they must thank their English prog enitors. He urged the necessity of the present generation bequeathing to pos terity some gift comensurate with the blessings they had received from their ancestors and suggested that they be queath the Ideal of international amity of which the Hague arbitration trl bunal was a lasting monument.
