and hundreds of other specimens, and
though l have many magnificent speci-
mems at home at the present time I
had hoped to send a couple of ship
loads from Africa especially for the
fair of 1901. If the war between the
British and the Beers continues, and
at present it looks as though it would
be long-fought and bitter contest
there will be little probability of my
being able to get any specimens in
Africa, and still less chance of being
able to get them safely away from any
of the seaports."
Mr.. Hagenbacks words were a sur
prise to his listeners. All had figured
that the war between the British and
the Beers was so far away that it was
merely an interesting detail to read
about in the dispatches, but the thought
that it could in any way mar the great
project in which all were so much in
terested had not before entered the
head of a single man present.

In this connection Mr.. Berry read
the following poem amid a Yhirlwind

When the Spanish fleet with full
Roadway,
Dashed out of Santiago bay.
Taking the chances Of death and
wreck;
Who stood on a Yankee quarter deck.
And marked the game with eagle eye;
Say, was IL Sampson, or was it Schley?
Laughter and ~applause.)
Who was it; when shot and screaming
Turned Sabbath calm into echOing
hell?
Steamed into the thickest Of the fray;
His good ship leading all the way,
While the roar of his guns shook earth
and sky,
Say, was it Sampson, or was it Schley?

In American hearts, who holds first
place
OF those who claim part in hat glo-
rious chase?
Whose name stood out on that proud
day
AS the hero of Santiago bay?
In letters of gold, write that name on
high;
Shall we write it Sampson Or write it
Schley?
daughter and applause.)
I said it would be written Schley,"
added Mr.. Berry.
Later Mr.. Berry alluded to the situa-
ton in the Philippines. He had decid-
ed, he said, how he would stand on
the proposition to annex those islands,
but wanted it distinctly understood that
the backing Aguinaldo was supposed
to be receiving from Germany would
have no weight in effecting his opinion.
We may yet have to whip Germany as
we did Spain"
