 MT. president and gentlemen-In behalf of the Chamber of Commerce and the citizens of New Haven generally I take extreme pleasure in welcoming you to our city and while doing so most cordially thank you for accepting our invitation and honoring us with your presence. You see around you some of those who are connected with our educational, literary, manufacturing and SAAO5O VA J own profession and calling, all of whom are ever glad to meet in social intercourse gen. tlemen whose mission and business it is to become acquainted with and furnish to their fellow -countrymen through the medi- um of the press true knowl- edge of our institutions, varied industries, resources and strength. Our city, distin- guished as seat of learning second to none in the country, the graduates of whose uni versity, public and private schools are scattered broadcast throughout the land moulding and perfeeting the nations growth and power, sends greeting through the Mayor and is pleased to see within it's cooperative limits those savanst of the press from our neighboring sister republic across the Rio Grande, in whose hands, through their voca- tion and calling, rest the future hope and strength of their people, and bids him well come you to home within whose borders, among many others distinguished in literature science and invention, lies buried the great photographer Webster, whose dictionary is the law of our language; the eminent Silliman, whose labors and discoveries in the opened new era to science and art, together with the noted Whitney, whose invention of the cotton gin revolutionized the industries of half nation. Our manu- facturers with their varied and almost end less productions for the safety and protec- tion, as well as the comfort and convenience of the people, are pleased to see you, trust ing that the result of your visit will be the Of a reciprocal trade alike ben e6cial to both peoples, and at the same time I assure you that our commercial friends stand ever ready to bear the fruits of your visit in invoices of merchandise that the wants of either nation may re- quire. Gentlemen, those that are here present as well as those absent earnest ly desire the future growth and prosperity of Mexico. May it ever increase in wealth and population, and as the two nations grow in numbers may the residents on both banks of the Rio Grande ever look across it's waters upon the smiling, happy and contented faces of the people of two flee and independent republics. Thanking you for your patience, and leaving the more profound and heavy work to others, let me once more bid you 8 hearty welcome to New Haven.
 MIR. BIANcHI's ADDRESS.
 In reponse to ex-Mayor Lewis address MT. Bianchi responded as follows:
 Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen-I find it somewhat difficult to reply to your address in Spanish, but I will say a few words. When a-child once attended the theater and heard this expression which made deep impression on my mind and which I have always remembered. It was: Always give your hand without glove and your heart without reserve" and here in New Haven I have found out the truth of that saying, as
 
 looking out for our enjoyment to-day.
 Governor Henry B. Harrison was next in troduced by H. P. Hubbard, who acted as boastmaster during the rest of the evening. The subject of Governor Harrisons address was "Welcome to the State" and the toast was: "The State of Connecticut; New Haven in this case represents the State, although not the sole capital" The Governor said: THE GOVERNORS ADDRESS.
 | I, come of the city I can safely assume to give them also welcome from the State-a welcome which would be most cordially rati fled by all the people of Connecticut if the opportunity of confirming it could be pre- sented to them
 We welcome you, gentlemen, for more than one reason. First of all we welcome know how to honor a brave people who have endured trials so many and severe with fortitude so great; who have met enemies so powerful with courage so steadfast; and who, in spite of all obstacles, all enemies and all disasters, have maintained their na- 5ional integrity and their national institu- 1 ions and have continued to advance and l are now rapidly advancing along the path of | progress and civilization.
 We welcome you also because you occupy | high place among the leaders of the Mexi ,an people, because you have taken into your hands the mighty power of the press, and l with that power have Loyalty accepted the nigh duty which the possession of such a power has imposed upon you, the duty of among the Mexican people | sducation, enlightenment, truth and the principles of social and public order upon which alone republican government can se- ,urely rest.
 Accept, gentlemen, our best wishes for 7our success in your great work. And be- | ieve, without the shadow of a doubt, that the 1 people of this country sympathize profoundly l with all your hopes for the prosperity, the l oro5ress, the strength and the glory of the l Mexican republic.
 The reply to Governor Harrison's address | vas made by Senor Rafael De Saldam, who | aid: Many, many thousand years ago, when Rome was about to be established, it l 'ent seven wise men to Greece to see what | hey could learn. They went, they saw, and | ,ame back and instituted a republic which | ived and long hourished. Is not the condi- | ion of the people nowadays different from l hen? Although these Mexican editors are | 7isiting is this their sister republic to see | what they can, they may be the seven wise | nen and take back that knowledge to the F ,ther side of the Rio Grande that may create sister republic of Mexico, and all they need o make the republic successful one is the | push, and that will be given to them partly y the people and partly through the me Hum of the press.
 THE PRESS.
 MT. Hubbard then spoke for the press, the oast being 'tThe Press of the World" He aid:
 MT. Chairman and Gentlemen-Thomas Carlyle once asked question which answers tself, 'FIs not every able editor a ruler of he world, being persuader of it?'' Over hirty-fve thousand newspapers are now published on the globe and of course they re- Iuire editors, not all of whom are rulers. These editors have been said to be pursuing

The great journalistic brotherhood stands before the age of the world, embodying the profound st intellect. the keenest research the wit | hat flashes bright and burns, and the criti- ism that pierces shans, however armored, xposes hypocrisies, however glossed, plucks ID withered traditions, however deep ooted, and cuts the chains hat bind truth, however firm the riveted eads. These more than thrice ten thou and journals may be called the lungs of inhaling current history science, Tt, politics, theology, literature and the reat social problems of the eye, assimilatine
