The report Of the Senate committee says:

The last speaker of the evening was MI.
F. Hopkinson Smith. who paid an eloquent
tribute to the artists and told the part they
had played in the development of the maya
zine. He concluded his address with ref
erence to Presid mt Roosevelt as the man
who typifies in it's highest type American
manhood and who, will stand for genera
lions to come as the ideal of American man.
At the conclusion of the address OF Mr.
Smith, Dr. Mabie announced the conclusion
of the dinner He started to say that the
President would receive the members OF the
association at the White House this morn
ing and had gotten that far when the
President interrupted him and declared that
he would meet the members then, and at

the publishers and their guests formed IN

Rev. DR.. Van Dyke.
Rev. DR.. Henry Van DYKE, scholar. poet
and lecturer. made the speech of the even
ing If the applause and laughter which fol-
lowed and punctuated his remarks can be
taken as evidence. DIR. Van Dyke began I'm
the most serious vein. Immediately after his
introduction by the POSTMASTER at the con-
clrsion of Baron Won Sternbure's address,
but he did not continue in this style for
any great length of time. He became en-
meshed in an explanation of how to get
into the magazines, and worked himself out
in a most pleasing fashion. after paying his
respects to some of the leading magazines
OF the country collectively and individually.
His remarks were. to use his own explana-
ton. the result of much thought on the
possible advice he would give a young man
who wanted to write for the American
maya zines and did not know what to
write how. He declared that for an
American ma ga zine an American subject
should be chosen. and he thought he would
suggest to the aspirant for literary h0norS
a purely American topic. In searching
about for such a subject he found nothing
that seemed SD truly and purely American
as the clam-the little neck clam. And then
he told how he would write II for each of
the big magazines. gently prodding the edi-
tors of these publications. who were seated
about him. on their idiosyncrasies of style
and dict.on. He set the whole assemblags
I'm a prolonged roar. which continued long
after he had concluded.
Ex-Gov. Black.
The next speaker was ex-Gov. Frank 8.
Rlack OF New York. Gov. Black spoke of
the nobility and patriotism OF politics. His
address seethed with epigrams and epi-
grammatic phrases. He concluded his adj

The German Ambassador.
The German ambassador Baron Won
Sternburg was the fourth speaker on the
list Ambassador Sternburg is thoroughly
acquainted with the American magazines,
and has had frequent occasion to learn of
their influence. He said:
During my wanderings in foreign lands I
frequently have been struck by the wide
spreading of the American periodical not
only among the English speaking race. but
also among the people belonging to all races
and nationalities. Some years ago in Samoa
j was discussing with Samoan chief the
history of his islands. 1 was surprised by
teresting knowledge he possessed relating
TO the past OF his people. When 1 asked
him from where he had gained his informa-
ton aud IL his islands had any written rec
Ords of their past handed down by his an
cestors the chief smiled and said to me no.
such records never existed because Samoans
had no written language. But" he contin-
ued there is foreign book which has
told MS all of our past history" Saying this
he opened an old ships chest. recovered
probably from some derelict. which held his
few humble possessions. and handed to me
a number OF an American magazine con-
tanning lengthy article on Samoa and the
Samoans. This, he said. lis the only
record our Islands ever possessed and IL has
taught us many things which we ourselves
had long go forgotten"

Water Power for the Government.
