Long Praises SPANS Queen.
Speaking TO the toast 1.-THE Navy"
Secretary Long grew pathetic, and
made an almost imprisoned appeal in
behalf of the queen of Spain. He re-
ferred tenderly TO her mother love for
her son, her heart-burn!ngs and anx-
ieties during the war, and the blighting
of her hopes by the outcome of the con-
fiict. Her trials, he said, deserved the
tenderest sympathy of every mother,
every woman, in America. After an
expression of sympathy for the queen
of Spain, Secretary Long took up the
matter Of territorial expansion, and in
the strongest terms Endorsed the posi-
ton of the administration. He ex-
pressed the firm conviction that Amer
lean dominion of the Philippines
would result in moral and material adj
vantage to the natives.
How sunday Was spent.
Savannah, Ga, Dec. 1o.-Notwith.
standing Sunday was supposed to be 4
day of rest with the presidential party.
it was, as a matter of fact, filed with
interest and activity. The day was an
ideal one. Though they had sat late
at the banquet Saturday night--it was
near two o'clock when Gen. Wheeler
delivered his delightful peroration to
"Woman"-the president and accom-
panying members of his cabinet arose
to breakfast at about the usual hour,
and later they separated to attend d.
vine services.
President Mckinley attended church
at the Wesley Monumental Methodist
church. Mrs. Mckinley did not ac-
company him. She is suffering from a
slight cold, and remained at the hotel.
Her indispositdon, however, does not
amount to real Illness, and in the after
noon she was able to take a carriage
ride about the city. The president was
met At the door of the church by lead
ing members of the congregation, who
escorted him to the pew reserved for
him. AS he entered the congregation
arose and remained standing until ne
had taken his seat. The sermon was by
Rev. John A. Thomson. d. d. There
was no reference to the distinguished
presence during the service, beyond an
invocation by the preacher for Divine
guidance for the president during the
crisis which now confronted the couE-
try.
Visits n Colored school.
After dinner the president visited
the Georgia state agricultural and me-
chanical college (colored), where nc
delivered an address. The route to the
college took the president through the
camp of the Seventh army corps, and
going and coming he stopped at the
camp for brief inspection and 10
speak words OF appreciation and en-
couragement to the men.
Secretary Alger and Gen. Sha fter also
visited the camps. Secretary Alger paid
more attention to the camp than any
other member of the party. He went
through several of the reCimeutal viii
lagos. from headquarters to kitchens,
and made critical examination. He
also visited the hospital of the First
division, where he spoke kindly to the
sick men and made inquiries into their
wants and how they were supplied.
After his trip he expressed himself as
very much gratified with the campand
the work of the hospital corps

hearty cheers, MS indeed he has been
every time he has come within sight
