Long Praises Spain's Queen.
Speaking to the toast THE Navy.
Secretary Long grew pathetic. and
made an almost impassioned appeal in
behalf of the queen Of Spain. He re-
ferred tenderly to her mother love for
her son, her heart-burnings and am.
ietes during the war, and the blight;ng
OF her hopes by the outcome of the con-
fict. 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 ad.
vantage to the natives.

ing members of the congregation, who
escorted him to the pew reserved for
