republic.
There was enthusiasm and to spare. and
to many Of the pointed uttcrances of both
Senator Lodge and the president. there
was a hearty and CORDIAL approval shown.
Important features of the speech of noti-
fication OF Senator Lodge and the re-
sponse by President Mckinley were the
references to the Chinese situation. This
caused Il great deal of discussion during
the conferences following the formal
speech making, and the impression Great
ed was that these utterances were noti-
flcation to the world that the United
States intended 10 preserve all its rights
In China. The most impressive parts or
the presidents speech were his reference
to the maintenance of the gold standard
and the financial public faith. the preser-
walton OF a protective tariff, the enlarge
ment of our market. especially the phrase,
prosperity at home and prestige abroad"
Must Control the Islands.
When he asked: shall we go back to
the tariff OF four years ago?' there were
shouts OF mol Nol' from every parts of
the audience. A prolonged cheer greeted
his words relative TO the maintenance OF
our authority in the Philippines. WITH
the keenest interest everybody followed
new possessions and there was a most i'm
pressve shout when he declared there
should be continued legislative control
over the territory possessed by the United
States and another outburst when he
said such authority would be coupled
with liberty and humanity" His de-
claring that the United States had re-
claimed 100 600 human beings from Inn
perialism'' made decided impression.
The president seemed at his best He was
in good voice and spirits. His appearance
indicated the best of health and his voice
rang out loud and clear. reaching the out
skirts OF the crowd which surrounded the
house and extended over the lawn and
across the street, speaking from the same
place where he received the formal noti-
fication four years ago.
