Addresses the Diplomats

Genefdl Porter lneI turned 10 lHe
French officials present and the diplo-
matte corps and speaking in French,
said in part:
During eight years we have travelled
the same road together hand in hand.
Now we have arrived at the cross roads
where our routes separate. One Of my
pleasant duties during my sojourn in
Paris has been to convey the express
sion of good will and the friendship
which the citizens of America always
take pleasure in sending to the citizens
of France. This traditional friendship
is entirely natural, for our ancestors
fought in the same ranks and shed
their blood in the same cause, and a
common heritage of former glory can
never be divided
After referring in eulogistic terms
to the minister of foreign affairs, Gen.
Porter said:
when the diplomatic history of this
epoch shall be written two names will
shine forth more brilliantly than all
those who have contributed to make it,
those of Theophile Delcasse and of
John Hay"
A letter from Secretary Hay, in
which he paid tribute to Gen. Por-
ter's brilliant career, was read.
The speech of Gen. Porter brought
out tremendous ovation, the entire
assemblage rising and cheering.
Mr.. Watterson's Speech
Mr.. Watterson made a characteris-
tic speech, which, after a glowing
tribute to Gen. Porter, took up the
achievements of Paul Jones, His clos
ing words, hurting back the taunts of
the British press that Jones was a
pirate, aroused great enthusiasm.
1T was the hands of Paul JONES'"
said Mr.. Watterson, (which first loos-
ened the flag which we adore and which
carried this flag defiant and trium-
phant into English waters, into the
Irish sea and into the North sea, yea,
into st. Georges channel not merely
boarding the lion in his den, but COM
ing away with those same hands
stuffed with indisputable trophies, with
actual and visible fragments of his
name and tail do not wonder they
call him a pirate, but If he was a
pirate, Washington was a highway
man and Franklin a lobster"
Premier Rouvier arose amid the stir
ring strains of the "Marseillaise" TO
respond to the toast to France. M.
Rouvier spoke of the traditional spirit
in America and France for liberty.
Each day. he said, brought the coun-
tries closer and closer together. In the
name of President Loubet the premier
expressed profound regret at Gen. Por-
ter's departure and renewed assurances
