Addresses by Members.
This club has made an early start in
the campaign of 1905" said Dr. Lee, and
has already made good showing. When
the Mckinley and Hobart Club was first
formed it held its meetings in small
room in the Riggs House that was donated
for the use. Its membership was but
fifty. Later it grew into such proportions
that 1t became necessary TO move into "A
large hall on Pennsylvania avenue, as the
membership had grown to about 500. pre-
dict like growth of the Union Repub-
iican Club"
The foregoing remarks we're greeted
with applause Gen. Burt said it was his
purpose to invite prominent speakers 10
address the club at its meetings every
Friday evening.
Capt Mellach invited the club to attend
the installation of the officers of the
Fourth Immune Camp, Spanish war Vet
Grams, next Wednesday evening, at u. a.
R. Hall. He said the speech of tie even,
ing will be made by Capt Richmond
Pearson Hobson, member of Congress
and hero of the Merrmac."

"reminiscences of the civil war, in which
he served He said in his opinion the
greatest charges in the worlds history
were made by Longstreets Corps OF the
Confederate army at ChickamauSa when
the troops went up Snodgrass hiil. thir-
teen distinct times under heavy hrs
from the intrenched Union forces He
added that had Longstreet not been re-
pulsed 1t would have resulted in disaster
to Rosecrans' army and changed the eh-
tire course of the southwestern campaign.
Gen. Burt lauded Gen. Logan, ana de-
clared that he, and not Sherman. shoniu
have been by right in command OF the
army that marched to the sea

The Navy League Of the United States
concluded it's annual meeting with ban
Quet at the New Willard last evening,
whicli was marked by some notable adj
dresses Gen. Horace Porter served as
POSTMASTER and introduced the speakers.
Mr.. Justice Harlan of the Supreme Court
of the United United States made an
appeal for a greater navy. and predicted
conflict between the yellow and the
white races.
IF had the opportunity" Mr.. Justice
Harlan said, 81 would vote for an ap
preparation of $J0OO0,00O a year for a
period of ten years for a larger navy. The
great Importance OF navy Is shown IN
the Constitution. which restricts the APP
preparations for the army, but sets no
limit for those for the navy. There is
no such thing as friendship between ma
tons as between men. Nations make
TO sacrifices to preserve friendships and
do not forbear to de certain things be-
cause 1t does not meet with the approval
of another nation. Do you think England
cares q cent for what we think of her
navy" ur Germany care a cent for what
we think of hers?
Question as to Size.
How large navy ought we to have?"
he asked. THAT is a question 1 cannot
answer any more than whether hos
pital ship ought to be commanded by a
nava! officer or a surgeon. 1 don't care
how large a navy we have, but I want
to see a navy large enough to take care

our ports on those oceans.
The trend of the immigration of the
white people in the past has been from
east to west. There has been none from
the west. Just across the water there
is country with an immense popula-
ton, whose commerce we are seeking.
We refer to the people of Asia as the
yellow race. There are 4O0.O00.OOO Chi
nese. as strong physically and mentally
as we are. There is over there another
nation whose people are progressive and
ambitious. We may some day see a
skilled army in Japan OF 100000 to
1OOOO,OO0. They will say: You claim
Europe as your country. This is ours.
Get out!' / don't think they have any
suc'l idea now, and we have no hostility
toward them. But there will be a con-
fiict between the yellow race and the
white race that will shake the earth.
When it comes I want to see this coun-
try with navy on both oceans that will
be strong enough"
