ments had been made for the payment
Of the bills.
Three cheers were proposed and given
for DR.. Tiffany. He then announced
that an invitation had been extended to
the delegates by Governor Shepherd to
attend the banquet of the delegates to-
day at Willard's hotel, and requested
all to be present.
Some one proposed three cheers fo- the
President of the United States, which
were given, and three cheers for the
whole world.
The delegation, after visiting the diff
ferent points of interest, returned TO the
hotel and partook of a banquet given by
Governor Shepherd.

sentiment: ''The Evangelical Alliance
may its results be equal to the grandeur
of its conception and the no6leness OF
its ends"
DR.. Tiffany returned thanks to the
governor for the kind reception Of the
delegates.
DR.. Riggs, of London, responded in
behalf of the foreign delegates to the
sentiment offered by Governor Shep-
herd. He must say the reception in this
country was simply magnificent; not
magnificent iD the matter of organlzs-
ton, but in the richness of spontaneous
feeling, which expressed itself through
every possible channel, whether
In the family, or cars, or by
the wayside There was such an
abundance of kindness, courtesy and
generosity, that none Of them could
have anticipated its extent. He would
carry back with him to England, remin-
iseences which would go with him
through life; he trusted that the Evan
gelical Alliance mutual sympathy be-
tween the two countries would become
deeper, and ripen into closer ties of per-
sonal and national friendship.
Rev. DR.. Amote, of Belgium, who was
requested to speak, said it was a great
mistake to call upon him as foreigner,

Laughter. He would draw no in
vidious comparisons of countries, but
would repeat what was said by Wiley
Scott, the chairman who was sent by
Queen Mary to the prime minister OF
England: "Iour mistress is the most
beautiful woman in England, but mine

land" Applause and laughter
Rev. DIR. Scoff, in the course of q
brief speech, said the Americans had
taken from the delegates the best part
of their manhood, namely-theirh hearts.
Bishop Simpson said there was s
beautiful unity among those present.
Here were the stroDg-sOuled, thoughtful
subjects OF Queen Victoria, long may
she reign in fellowship with the
citizens Of the United States
and the subjects of the Emperor

joined in proposing the health of the
governor of the District of Columbia.
Three cheers were given for the gov
ernor, who returned thanks for the kind
feeling thus expressed, and called upon
MIR. Harrington, Secretary of the Dis
trict OF Columbia, to respond. He said,
after returning thanks for the compli-
ment, There was a time when the
streets of Washington were in
such a bad condition that the
people felt almost ashamed for strang-
ers to visit the capitol, but

of the world-a thing of beauty, to be a
Joy forever. The coming among them
of such visitors was not of as much local
importance as national concern
another step was made in the direction
of what the old prophet proclaimed,
1.-THE sword shall be turned
into plough-sbares, and spears into
pruning-hOoks; neither shall nations
rise up against natious, nor learn war
any more.n He welcomed the dele
gates here, not because thew were of
any particular denomination, but be-
cause they were members of the parlia-
ment of man, the federation of the en-
tire world. Applause.

He said he was sure every

a heart full of affection for this country,
which he hoped would fulfill its destiny

the health OF the President of the L United
States. This was received with cheers,
and drank standing.
A vote of thanks was then proposed
