Chairman Joseph F.. Farmer, when the
cigars and coffee stage had been reached,
made a brief and graceful speech of well
come and throughout the toast list intro
dueed the speakers ON the most felicitous
manner. =
Major J. Hollis Wells responded to ga
few memories of San JUAN detailing, in
an interesting manner the charge up the
famous hill. The Major praised the con-
duet of the regular troops on that occa-
sion and those of the gallant regiment
to which he belonged. His remarks were
pu%nctuated with much cheering. He
made a slight reference to "embalmed
beef" which created laughter and cheers.
"Our Navy was elo%quently responded
to by Right Rev. Robert Seton, who
evoked great applause when he announced
his position as an expansionist, and again
when he said that the American flag once
raised over d new territory must never
be hauled down. He believed HI the
control of the Philippines and Cuba meant
expansion in trade and would inevi-
tably benefit the people of these islands.
DR.. Seton gave an eloquent review
of the deeds of the America Navy. He
paid a warm compliment to Rev. Father
Chadwick, chaplain of the Maine and re-
membered that the Catholic chaplains in
the navy had upheld the traditions Of the
church by their fearless devotion to duty.
When the distinguished speaker touched
on the question of expansion and
reiterated that the Stars and Stripes must
never be lowered, the cheering was deaf
enirs and lasted for several minutes.
Monsignor Seton ridiculed the argu-
ments of those opposed to Expansion
and said that they were strangely igno-
rant of the history of the United States.
The history of the country, he said, amid
much cheering, had been one of continued
and continuous expansion from the ac-
QUESTION of Louisiana, Texas and Cali
fornia to that of Alaska and now the
Philippines. Americans were, he said,
able and capable of governing its latest
acquisitions and no one worthy of the
proud name of American ought to object
to the country spreading itself"
The Rev. Father Brady ably responded
to a toast in his honor, thanking the club
members for their support in his adminis-
tration as president of the club.
Mr.. Alex. G. Young made an excellent
speech on THE Leave of American
Prosperity Mr.. Frank Jordan sang

tic style, for which he was accorded a
