Among the people whom the archbis! op
captured by his eloquence and sincerity,
was Judge Emory Speer, of Georgia,
who. following the prelate in the order
of speakers, expressed the wish that he
might take him home and let his people
see how captivating a thoroughly Ameri-
can Ireland may be.
At the close of Judge Speer's eloquent
address the audience turned again TO Mr..
Mckinley and demanded that he talk TO
them. He said:
Nr. Mckinley Speaks.
"I have been deeply touched by the
words of patriotism that have been ut
tered by distinguished men so eloquently
in your presence. 1t Is gratifying to all OF
us to know that this has never ceased to
be war of humanity. The last ship that
went out of the harbor of Havana before
war was declared was an American ship
that had taken to the suffering people Oh
Cuba the supplies furnished by American
charity and the first ship 10 sail into the
harbor of Santiago was another Ameri-
can ship bearing food supplies to@the SUI
fering Cubans, and / am sure 1t is the uni
versal prayer of American citizens that
justice and humanity and civilization shall
characterize the final settlement of peace
as they have distinguished the progress OF
the war. My countrymen, the currents OF
destiny flow through the hearts of the
people Who will check them? Who will
divert them? Who Will stop them? The
movements of men. planned and designed
by the master of men, will never be In
tcrrupted by the American people"
The President was cheered as long as he
was in sight.
This evening Mr.. Mckinley attended a
ball at the Auditorium for the benefit of
soldiers and sailors families of Illinois.

Chicagos entertainment of the Prest-
dent does not compare with st. Louis s
in arrangement. In St. Louis there was
not slip nor hitch, nor anything awk-
ward. The Presidential party were en-
tertained, as had been the case in Omaha,
as though they We're guests in private
house. There was no suggestion that
the nations chief magistrate was in dan
ger of his life. He was not doGged by
policemen.
John Addison Porter SiiGhted.
Here in Chicago the managers have
not even provided properly for some of
his immediate suite. Secretary Porter
has been omitted from some of the invi-
tation lists and he and Secretary Courtel-
you have had TO fight their way, at ihe
expense of feelings and clothing, even,
through the escorts provided for the
party. The Chicago University arrange
ments alone have been complete.
