SAYS REVISION IsA FARCE

Washington, June Ex-senator La
Toilette OF Wisconsin today in an inter-
view declared that the revision Of The
tariff in the bill before the senate means
an increase over the DingleV rates.
"WheA the protests through the country
forced the platform promise of revision
is considered. the outcome hardly rises
above the dignity of farce" said he.

bolizes that warm and enduring friend
ship which has for so long a time ex-
listed between your country and mine.
Indeed, France and the United States
are so bound in the golden coils of that
friendship as to make the breaking of
them inconceivable.
CO-OPERATION is RECALLED
What American can bring to mind
the virtual close of the revolutionary
war at Yorktown, where Washington.
Lafayette and Rochambeau so perfect
/ ly and so successfully co-operated to a
glorious result, without being thrilled
to the utmost recesses of his being
The alliance of France with the states
in their struggle for independence was
so inestimable that even now we are
prone to shudder when we think what
might have happened had we been
without it.
We'll may we stir at the name of
France-F'rance, that burst the chains
wherewith the centuries had bound
her, and with an enfranchised people
ivictoriously fronted all Europe in
arms; France, that flung athwart the
welcoming heavens the noblest politi-
cal ideal ever seen by struggling hui
manity-liberty, equality, fraternity
Following the ambassadors speech
the orchestra played the French ma
tional air and the Star Spangled
Banner came at the conclusion of the
mayors response.
NOT DECADENT NATION
The scene at the banquet given to
Ambassador Jusserand and Nine. Jus-
serand at the Fairmont hotel was one
of enthusiasm seldom equaled at official
dinners Men and women rose from
their seats. cheering until they. were
-hoarse and with their voices completely
drowned the orchestra in its playing
of the national airs of the two repub-
lies
The room was handsomely decora ted
with flags of the two nations and banked
from end to end in a profusion of flow
ers. Mayor Taylor, who presided, in
troduced the ambassador in speech In
which he once again took occasion to
give the lie to the statement that
France was a tdecadent nation
While he mentioned no names. his
meaning was plain and the shouts
which greeted his remarks indicated
the view the citizens of San Francicso
took of the subject.
Tn every century, said he, France
has poured its blood. but instead of
getting weaker 1t has been getting
stronger, and today sees it stronger
than ever it was in its history

AMBASSADOR INTRODUCED
The ceremony Of the introduction Of
the ambassador TO the citizens OF San
Francisco was extremely brief and
formal, the mayor contenting himself

Behalf OF the CitU

with nothing more than the simple
remarks, usual on such an occasion.
AS the ambassador rose he. was
greeted with cheer upon cheer, and 1t
was some time before the applause
died down and he was allowed to
speak.
In explaining the origin of the idea
Of presenting a medal TO San Fran
cisco. the ambassador reviewed the
continued intimacy of the two nations.
Since the early days of American
independence" he said, mo great
event has happened in this country
without awakening a friendly echo
in France; and as France has felt your
joys so ii has. sympathiZed with your
misfortunes and sorrows. When Presi-
dent Washington. the father of your
country, was laid at rest the French
republic went into mourning, sorrow
ing with the United States in the loss
it had sustained.
BONDS BETWEEN COUNTRIES
This is but one of innnumerable
incidents in history proving the unique
bond existing between France and
your country. When Lafayette died
America mourned; and when in 1883
France celebrated its anniversary OF
the days OF -. Of the birth of liberty,
t4udllt anG fraternity. the only na-
ton TO give our universal exhibition
official recognition was the United
States. Later still, when $4,000

and aid came from the United States
such has been the history of the two
nations. And so, three years ago,

France a medal. commemorating the

This element so prominent in the
French nation gives it the ability OF
knowing how TO do things correctly
and. in the presentation of this medal
| it could not have chosen two more
charming persons to visit us than Am
bassador and Nine Jusserand."
The Mayor then proposed the toast
of the two honored guests, which was
drunk with loud cheers.
JUssERAND COMPLIMENTS CITY
Ambassador Jusserand. in replying
devoted much of his speech to compli-
menting the city on having a mayor
with such talents as those possessed by
Taylor and of the ties binding Califor-
mia to France. In this latter regard
he mentioned an incident connected
with his meeting of Bret Harte in Lon
don.
He told me then," said the ambassa-
dor, that one of the most impressing
pieces of literature he had read was
from the pen of the French author
Dumas, and admitted without hesitation
that from him he learned much which
later influenced his writings. That is
one tie between California and France
and l mention 1t now because at the
time it was told me 1 was greatly i'm
pressed with the fact, realizing how
lands, however far distant, may be in
fiuenced by each other.
THE great days of San Francisco
have not beef In the past. They are
with you now. The men of the past in
their search for gold and their discov-
cry of it, performed no greater wonder
than what you citizens of San Fran
cisco of the present day have accom-
plished in the rebuilding of your city.
COMPLIMENT TO MAYOR

come here to the Pacific coast and seen
the wonders of your land, know and
of America stretches from New, York
to San Francisco, and that the latter
city has as important a part in the
destiny of the nation as the former.
Allow me, in conclusion. to drink with
you to the health of your mayor and
mayoress."
GOVERNOR GILLETT's TRIBUTE
Governor Gillett. in opening, paid a
tribute to Lafayette and other French
men whose names figure in the history
of the United States. Referring in
VeiIed way to Doctor Jordan's attack
on the French, he said:

all critics are not fair" The senti-
ment produced the usual burst of
cheering. The governor concluded with
recounting the achievements of France.
saying with such achievements no one
could term it weak.
Benjamin Ide Wheeler spoke of the
early lessons this country received
from France, particularly mentioning
they played in the building of this
state
Judge W. w Morrow devoted him

WHEELER SPEAKS OF WOMEN
Charles s. Wheeler, after paying a

of the friendly relations existing be-
tween France and the United States.

Mayor Taylor read a telegram from
Raphael WE'LL. who is now on his way
to Europe, in which he complimented
the city in the noble way it had re-
ceived Ambassador and Nine. Jusse-

During the afternoon the ambassador

new TOWNS IN Usage NATION

Washington. D. c., March 4.-There
will be several new towns and good
ones too. spring up in the Usage
nation. as the result Of the legislation
passed during the closings days of con
gress, permitting the Osages to sell
their surplus land
J. w. McCloud. general solicitor of
the Midland Valley railroad. which
runs through the Usage nation. says
that there will be two and possibly
more towns on the Midland Valley.
One of these will be northwest of Big
heart. and another will probably be at
Avant, which is between Tulsa and
Pawhuska. At the latter place the
Midland hae aquired some big ballast
beds and has a small ballast plant
working there now. Il will probably
be made a large one. A town will be
laid out as soon as the ground can be
acquired. This may take esome little
time, but Mr.. McCloud will remain in
Washington several days yet trying to
get the secretary of interior TO make
regulations under which the Osages
may SELL
There will be a new town on the NJ.
X. & T. also. One of these will be at
Usage. for the new law permits the
