The coming OF the Colonel was signalied
by the wave of a handkerchief In the front
OF the hall. Immediately the great au-
dience rose and In half minute there
was tempestuous applause.
The first half hour of the ex-Presidents
discourse was taken up with adding to
his already we'll organized Ananias Club

ticularly to those who have habit OF
putting after their signatures to their

looked earnestly at Ambassador Spring
Rice when he said 1t, though that polite
Brlton did not so much as smile at the
thrust.
Apparently dissatisfied with not having
got rise" out of the Brltisher he
condemned the big map OF South America
which the Geographic Society itself had
furnished him for illustrative purposes.
The Colonel walked to the map and with
his back to the audience tried his ap-
parent best 10 figure out where he had
been, and falling he told the audience
that the map was altogether out of line
with the truth, that II had mountains
where there was in reality valley and
that the rivers ran the wrong way and
that confiuences with other rivers were
