Mr.. HAY TO THE EDITORS.
The Secretary's Address Mt Buffalo
AprOpOs and Pleasing

AhC A0OreSS Mt Bu1aIO o
AprOpOs and Pleasing.
Buffalo, N. Y, June 13.-The presence
of men Of national prominence and the
sports in the Stadium attracted thousands
to the Pan-American Exposition to-day.
Secretary of State John Hay was the
guest of honor at a dinner given this
evening by the Board of Directors of the
exposition to the National Editorial Asso-
citation.
Mr.. Hay said
There have been statesmen and soldiers
who have cherished the fancy in past
years of a vast American army recruited
from every country between the Arctic
and Antarctic seas which should bind us
together in one immense military power
that might overawe the older civilizations.
But this conception belongs to the past
to an order of things that has
gone, I hope, forever. How far
more inspiring is the thought of
the results We see here now; how much
more in keeping with the better times in
whose light we live and the still more
glorious future to which we look forward
is the result we see to-day of the armies
of labor and intelligence in every coun-
try of this new world, all working with
one mind and one will not to attain an
unhappy pre-eminence in the art of de-
struction, but to advance in liberal EMU
lation in the arts which tend to make
men happier and better, to make this
long harassed and tormented earth a
brighter and more blessed abode for men
of good win. (Applause)
Other speakers were Col. Henry of Mis-
sissippi and Senator London of North
Carolina

class Of goods stolen from the army and
that those who have not yet been visited
