In TammanY Hall.

In Tammany ddll.
 New York, July 1.-The usual Fourth of July celebration was held in Tammany Hall today under the auspices of the Tammany Society. Grand Sachem James A. O'Corman, Justice of the Supreme Court, issued the address of welcome. Declaration of Independence was read by Colonel Franklin Bartlett. There were two long talks, the first by former Sena- tor Charles A. Towne of Minnesota, the other by Senator Joseph w. Bailey of Texas.
 Mir. Towne made a plea for the old Americanism. He held that the Govern ment had departed from the high ideal of its founders and committed a crime against the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution by it's treatment of the Filipinos. The Constitution, he con- tended, nowhere provided for a colonial system. He said:
 This new policy of colonization is try ing to masquerade in the borrowed gar ments of Democracy. It has labeled itself expansion but the disguise Is apparent The new policy is not expansion. We are at the parting of the ways. The Ameri- can people must choose and choose soon whether to abandon the traditions of a century and a quarter to enter upon the road trodden to their doom by so many nations that have gone before us or make re-dedication of this Government to the sublime principles of its founders"
 Replies to the society's invitations were read from ex-President Grover Cleveland Judge Alton B. Parker. former Governor D. R. Francis, ex-Senator David B. Hill Senator John w. Daniel, William J. Bryan and others.
 Ex-Senator Hill predicted a political revolution in the near future He said the election of Democratic mayor in this city next fall would be the opening gun for a Democratic victory in the State and nation in 1904. The program ended with short talks by Champ Clark. oi Missouri. and Congressman William Sul- ger among others.
