SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-The Presi-
dent returned from Santa Cruz shortly
before noon to-day and was tend
cred a reception by the chamber
OF commerce. The chamber of COM
MERGE was beautifully decorated. A
dense crowd surrounded the Presidents

building. The members of the various
commercial organizations of this city, Mexi
can veterans, California pioneers and other
associations, greeted him. President Tay-
lor. of the chamber of commerce, delivered
an address of welcome. The President in
his response, said in part, he had been sub
lected during his stay in California in some
respects to the same treatment that
policemen accord tramp-he has been
kept moving on" Their cordial greet
lngs, he said, are more exhilerating than
their wine and perhaps safer for constitu-
ton. laughter. II am glad" added
the President, ito stand in the presence of
this assemblage of business men. l have
tried to make this a business administra-
ton. Applausel. Of course we cannot
fully separate politics from the national
administration; but l have felt that every
public officer owed his best service
to party; that in administer
ing Official trusts, we were in
very strict sense, not merely in figura-
tive sense, your servants. 1t has been my
desire that in every branch of the public
service there should be Improvement
have stimulated all the secretaries and re-
celved stimulus from them in the endeayor
IN all departments of the government to
give you as perfect service as possible.

Ing my party in the confidence of the peo-
pie. L feel we have come to point
where American industries, Ameri-
can commerce, and American inf1u-

Great applause. [ believe there are
methods by which shall put the American
nag upon the seas again. Applause. In
the question of shipping" added the Presi-
dent, I'VE are in similar condition to the
merchant who, when the practlce of send
Ing travelling men out on the road
was first inaugurated, declined to
take up with such innovation, but soon
found ne had to do it or go out of business
All the great commercial governments of
the world have stimulated their shipping
interests by direct or indirect subsidies,
while we have been saying No, we prefer
| the old way" We must advance orr will
not say go out of business, for we have
already gone out" Applause
