LONDON, June IA most unique and

enthusiastic banquets ever given in
London, was the Anglo American BAN
quet given last evening at the Hotel
Cecil
Six hundred Britons and Americans
assembled fraternally, the purpose Of
the entertainment being the promotion
of good fellowship between the kim
dred races. Englishmen. many of
whom had experienced American hos
pitality, were the hosts, while resident
Americans were the guests. Political,
business and literary circles were we'll
represented, but the purpose of
making the affair Spontaneous and q
wholly unofficial celebration excluded
the embassy.
American and British flags were
| draped over the tables at which were
both men and women with sthe flag of
the future" the Union Jack and the
Stars and Stripes blended on coats of
arms. All wore buttons emblazoned
| with the two flags surmounting the
Canadian beaver.
Among the banqueters were the earl
| of Carlisle, Viscount Powerscourt, Sir
Normal Logger, Sir Frederick Pollock,
| Sir Richard Temple, Lord Beresford,
| the dean of Hereford, Rev. Newman
Hall. MIR. Hiram Maxim and Mr. George
w. Ward, manager of the Commercial

Mail and Evening News; Mr.. William
| L. Stead, editor of the Review of Re-
views; Sir Walter Besant, Mr.. Anthony

Lord Bernard COleridge presided.
TOasts to the queen and to the presi-
! dent of the United States were hon.
ored, accompanied by the strains of
! God Save the Queen" and 1.-The Star
Spangled Banner"
Lord COleridge, in proposing the
health of President Mckinley, said:
! where can the old world show such a
line of rulers of men as have been the
free choice of the American people"
''Fraternity and the future alliance"
pervaded all the speeches. The speak
ers were the bishop of Ripon (Rt. Rev.
| VIM. Boyd Carpenter), Lord Brassey,
Col. Taylor, president of the American
society in London; Sir George William
Des Voeux, Mr.. Newton Crane, former
president Of the American society in
London; Earl Gray, Prof Albert Won
| Dicey, Mr.. George w. Cable and Sir
Frederick Pollock, corpus professor of
| Jurisprudence at Oxford.
The English speakers lauded the
achievements of the revolution as en-
Enthusiastically as if they should have
| been their own victories. Where all
| the sermons were practically from the
same text, extended quotations would
be monotonous.
'Mother country" and ''sons beyond
the sea" were phrases reiterated by all
| the speakers.
The bishop of Ripon elected the
greatest enthusiasm by pointed ref.
erence to the war, saying that although
both nations had been accused of wor-
shipping the dollar, 1--WE both know
when to spend our money, and we
| know that some causes are worth
spending any price for"
Lord Coleridge said that he hoped
the outcome of the gathering would be
| permanent organization of repre-
sentative citizens of either nation, who
would come to mutual understand
ing on all points on all international
difficulties.
His lordship prayed that victory
might perch upon the American ban
ner ''in the interest of America, in the
interest of Spain and in the interest of
common humanity"
Twice America has fought with all
her might, he said. The trst fight
was forced by the imbccility of the
king, and she was right [cheeringl;
1
the second time she fought for the
freedom of slaves and the same spirit
is with her yet. Tremendous cheer
ing.]
He advocated a permanent tribunal
for the settlement of international diff
ferences.
Lord Brassey said there were closer
ties than written alliance; ties which
cOuld not he broken
Col. Taylor raised hurricane of
cheering by saying:
''As you have stood by us in our day
of trial, when your day of trial comes
count upon u.s."
Sir Frederick Pollock replied, pre-
dieting that there would be zone fleet
under two flags to keep the peace of
the world
number of kilograms of congratuIa-
tion were read from British and Ameri-
can bodies here and abroad.
UNEXPECTEDLY ATTACKED.
