filed past, with none too lusty step,
they saluted the President in their own
way. Some waved their hats, others
timorously raised their hands in the
conventional way, while several COM
panies halted, turned and fronting the
Chief Executive, presented the tattered
battle flags. One of the posts carried
battery of two guns, and saluted with
a shot from each as the stand was
passed. The President responded with
a sweep of his hat and continuous bows.

PRESIDENT Mckinley was given an en-

the beautifully decorated dining-room
of the Glover Club with Postmaster
General Smith and Secretaries Alger
and Wilson. In response to the pa
triotic introduction of Colonel Mcclure.
the President of the United States re-
ferred pleasantly to the fame of the
Glover Club, and then, after reference
to the imposing pageant of the after
noon, said:
AS l stood on the great reviewing
stand witnessing the soldiers and sail
ors passing by my heart was filled only
with gratitude to the God of battles
who has SO favored us, and gratitude
to the brave soldiers and sailors who
had won such signal victories on land
and sea and had given a new meaning
to American valor
1t has been especially gratifying to
me to participate not only with the
people of Philadelphia but with the
people of the great West, where l have
recently visited, in doing honor to the
American navy and the American
army. No nobler sailors or soldiers
ever fought under the flag You have
witnessed to-day the leaders of San
tiago, Porto Rico and Guantanamo
we have, unfortunately, none of the
heroes of Manila with us. But I am
sure that our hearts go out to them
tonight, and to the brave Dewey and
Otis and Merritt, and all the other gall
liant men that are now sustaining the
flag in the harbor and city of Manila
ca voice-How about HobsonO
The American people are always
ready for any emergency, and if the
Merrlmoc is to be sunk there is an
American officer to do it. He sue
ceeded in doing what our foe has been
unable to do-Sink an American ship
(Applause)
Il ask you, gentlemen of the Glover
Club. to unite with me in toasting the
army and navy of the United States,
without whose valOr and sacrifice we
could not celebrate the victory we
nave been celebrating to-day Not only
the men at the front; not only the men
on the battleships and in the battle
line, but the men at home with ambi-
tlon to go fight the battles of Ameri-
can civilization should be the recipients
of the gratitude Of the American peo-
ple.''
When he finished the President left
the hall to go to the reception of the
Academy of Music. AS he passed from
the room General Miles entered. The
head of the army received an ovation
as he pressed through the crowd to his
seat next to General Shafter. The lat
ter rose as General Miles approached,
reaching out his hand and cordially
greeted his chief. The public exhibi.
ton of good feeling <between the two
Generals was greeted with almost deaf
ening applause
General Alger responded briefly on
behalf of the army, and Captain Evans
was called upon as a representative of
the navy. He thrilled his hearers with
simply-told story of the battle of
Santiago filled with personal reminis-
cences.
General Miles made an extended ad-
dress, in which he paid eloquent tribute
to the valor of the American sailors
and soldiers
