clergyman and a noted colored orator.
The applause for the president was ter
rifle and at one time he was compelled
to rise in his box and respond to the
frantic cheering of the audience. The serv-
ices however, were OF religious charac-
ter and at times the silence OF the vast
assemblage was much more eloquent than
the widest applause could be-
The president rested during great pare
of the day at the residence of Captain
Lafayette w. McWilllams. his relative
where he is bepug entertained He did not

in relation to the countries delivered from

| Rev Or. Thomas +. Hodnett n Catholic
| clergyman, caught the fancy and applause
| OF the audience by repeated reference to
| Dewey, Sampson, Schley and Rough Riders
and when he mentioned presldsat Mckinley
the audience became so demnnstratlve that
| the prest dent was compelled to rise and
| bow his acknowledgements. At this con-
| cluglon of his address DR.. IIodnett arose
and delivered philippe against the
| growing Influence OF monopoly and the
| cohesive power OF unjust corporations.
| One OF the most stirring speeches Of the
evening was made by Rev. DIR. John Bar
| ioNs, who took firm stana In favor OF toe
| retention OF tas Philippine whsh senti-
ment appeared to meet entirely the appro-
baton of the audience.
Booker 4. Washington was the last
| speaker. He said in part:
| This country hiss been most fortunate In
| it4 victories. She has twice measured arms
with England, and nas won. She has met
| the spirit of rebellion within her own bor-
| ders and came off victorious. She has me.
| the proud Spanard and ms lies PROSTATE
at her feet. All this Is we'll; 1t is magnh-
| cent. But there remains one other victory
for Americans to VIVA victory as far
| reaching and important as any taat has o.
| CURED. We have succeeded In every con-
nct except In tee effort 10 SshluneF our
selves In the blottins out of RACIAL preJu-
dces. We can celebrate the era OF peace
| In no more euectual way than by 81 TX m
resolve upon The part OF Northern men ami
Southern men, both black clnd white, taat
the trenches which We together dug around
Santiago shall be the eternal burial place
OF all that which separates IN our business
and civilization. Let us be as generous
in peace as we have been brave in battle.
Until we thus conquer ourselves | make
NJ empty statement which | say We shall
have especially in the Southern part OF
our country, a cancer gnawing At the heart
As dangerous as an attack from an army
Of this republic that shall one day prove
from taout err within.
In this presence and on this suspicious
occasion / want to present the deep graft
tude of nearly 10000 900 OF my people 10
cur wise, patient ana brave chief exec
utve for the generous manner in which my
race has been recognized during this con-
fhat--a recognition th2it has done more to
blot out sectional and racial lines than any
event since the dawn OF our freedom.
When Mr.. Wa binelon gave expression
to these words the most Interesting feature
OF the evening occurred The audience Arose
