London, July 10.-Cardinal Vaughn
 delivered an address with a strong ex-
 pansicnist ring tonight at a banquet
 given by United States Ambassador
 Choate
 Nor was his the only imperialistic speech Of the evening. It was the key
 note of every word spoken and the
 spirit of imperialism aroused an en-
 thusiasm surpassing anything wit
 messed at former gatherings of Amer
 leans in London The banquet was at
 tended by the largest and most rep
 resentative assembly of Americans
 ever held in Europe It was nearly midnight when Cardinal Vaughn
 spoke, but the tremendous significance
 of his words entities them to be the
 first quoted. He said:
 'I have in my heart the deep-seated
 and mature conviction that the well fare of the Christian world, especially
 those portions which have not yet
 been brought into the pale of civiliza-
 tion, depends in great measure on the good feeling and cooperation that shall exist between the American and English peoples. (Cries of 'Hear.'
 'Hear,' ) We are living al the end of one century and are about to enter another. Some men may glory in looking backward and they will have much to learn in retrospect. Others look forward. Their minds are cast to- ward the future, leaving behind the things they have accomplished, and they press forward. While we are on the eve of new century the English speaking peoples look forward to see III what direction their mission will be accomplished. It seems to me from the evidences Of past years, and from the manifestation of friendly feeling ex- pressed at this table by your ambas- sador and senators who have spoken, that we are preparing the American and English peoples for the great work before Us iii the century to come
 You no longer, if may speak to my American cousins, you no longer are a self-contained power. You have come forth from your continent, forced by the circumstances Of the acquisi- ton of lands abroad. You stand with your foot on the threshold of the vast continent of Asia You have entered into the comity of nations that has de- clared itself in many ways interested in the welfare and future of the Asiatic continent. You will never be able to withdraw (cries of 'sHeari"
 dear!'O the influence you have, and it will be greater in the future than ever it was in the past. It must make itself felt cn the tremendous population of Asia, which is waiting for the advent of true Christian civil zation.
 '''The question that presents itself constantly to my mind-I do not know low it will strike your minds-is this: Which power in the future of the world shall be predominant over the ,reat continents yet unreclaimed by Christian civilization? Shall it be he great despotic power that looms forth of Asia, or shaI, it be the power If the nberty-loving nations repre- ented by the Enghsh-speaking peo- lies? lCries of Hear" '1Hear!") t is a question Of which of the two Xtremes in mode of government shall revaiL There can be no doubt in this all to which the preference should be iven. If then the liberty-loving peo- les bring happiness, civilization, and II the benefits of Christianity to the argest majority of the human race yet ncivilized, IL can only be, it seems to le through a good understanding be- 1g established between the two great ranches of the English-Speaking peo- le. (Crses of 'Heari" "Hear!")
 T am not speaking of commercial interest," 1 am not speaking of the cath of England or America. I am peaking on the paint alone of your in uence and our influence abroad. ray that the sentiments expressed so ICquent.y by many speakers eonight Pntiments which animate the Eng Sh heart as deeply as the American, he other. so that the missions cf the nglish-speaking races may be car ed on successfully in the new ceE- Try, and that the century may see the OmpletiCn in great measure of our lmmon mission" (Cheers.)
 Ambassador Choate made a speech which he expressed graceful senti- Ients of the mutual friendship be- geeH the United States and Great ritain.
