SPEECHES AND SONGS Blending of the Two at Second Army Corps Banquet. POSSIBILIMIES OF WAR DISCUS Gen. Miles Hopes for Peace, but Advises Against Slumber. TOASTS AND RESPONSES ee There was lots of patriotism displayed at the annual banquet of the Society of the Second Army Corps at the Shoreham last night. Interspersed with the patriotic speeches were the old songs which made the wearers of the trefoil famous during the rebellion. The banquet was notable by the presence of prominent men, Maj. Gen. Nelson A, Miles being among those in attendance. The handsome banquet hall of the Shoreham was lavishly decorated, the corps badge, a trefoil, being prominent in incandescent electric lights. After an excellent menu, President Lud- ington opened the speechmaking. He re- ferred in affectionate terms to the Second Corps, the gallant struggles it had engaged in and the brilliant record it had made in the fight for the flag. Head of the Nation. Representative Brosius responded to the tcast “The Head of the Nation.” He deliv- ered a masterly address and referred to the trying times through which the head of the nation is now passing, saying in part. “Whatever immunities the head of the nation may enjoy by reason of his elevation and distinction, exemption from the fiery trials which reveal his character and tem- per is not cne of them. His crucial hour, his supreme test, comes when formidable events involving his country’s foreign re- lations present formidable alternatives; when war looms huge and hideous in the twilight future; when the people are kept in the midst of alarms by jingo journalists, veyors of sensational misinformation; hen events are leading on toward the pice; when peace or war hangs upon nerve, the judgment, the courage, the wisdom of the chief executive; when undue precipitancy or a too-ready yielding to the tumultuous clamor of the unthinking, when a single mistake, an error of judgment, an oversight in the wide generalization neces- sary in marking a pathway through the obscurities and complications of the situa- tion would doom us to the horrors of was. In such a fiery crucible is the head of the nation being tested. How well he is endur- ing the terrible trial of events the united and entkusiastic commendation of the thinking, conservative masses testifies. No such imposing exhibition of confidence fn a ruler has ever been witnessed in the his- tory of the world. The representatives of the people signalized their sublime trust by. a vote of confidence unexampled in the anzals of legislation. It was the heart 6f the natton leaping to-her tongue to utter her supreme faith in the patriotism, fidel- ity and ability of the chief magistrate. “Nor will the people be disappointed! They have not bestowed their trust un- worthily. The sequel will show, whether in peace or war, the wisdom of both ruler and people; the former by his judicious and dignified behavior inviting, and the latter in_yielding implicit confidence.” The next speaker was Representative Belknap of Mlinois, who took for his theme “The Land We Love.” He said that pa- triotism in this country was not on the wane. The old differences between the north and the south are forgotten and the watchword is now onward and upward. The south stretched forth her arms and welcomed the north, and with a heart full of gratitude, the American people cherish with pride the progress of the Union and stand together never more to be divided. Hoping for Peace. Gen. Nelson A. Miles was the next speak- er. He said, in part: “No nation has ever had so much to say against war, against the maintenance of a large army, or against anything that may lead us into conflict. And no nation has had so much to say in favor of peace and arbitration. No people are as anxious to maintain peace at home and abroad as the American people. We should not enter into any conflict without just provocation or-a righteous cause. We are slow to take up our arms, but when the time does come I trist we will not be found slumbering. I hepe there will b3 no war. I, as a soldier, trust that if there is war there will be no Bull Run to begin with, but an Appomat- tex. We will be prepared, and the conflict should be short, sharp and decisive.” Representative Hull responded to the last regular toast ur National Defenders on Land and Sea. He said the acmy of the United States has always been a conservator of peace—never a menace to the law. He pald a glowing tribute to the army, and re- viewed the civil war, claiming the Union forces had accomplished greater results than any peopl> of history in the extent of territory conquered. But the great victory is found, he said, in the fact that now the blue and the gray are dwelling together as brothers, both willing to risk life for the flag of a r2united and common country.” The toast “Our fallen comrades” was drunk in silence, and Maj. George A. Armes made a short speech and presented a bowl of punch made from apple brandy which came direct from his farm at Ap- pomattox. A number of guests were called on for short speeches, and responded as follows: One Thing Worse Than War. General Joseph R. Hawley said: “There is only one thing worse than an unjust war, and that is cowardly peace. I hope we shall not have war, but if it comer let us maintain {t manfully. “Speaking in behalf of the Senate, I have to say that all its members, without excep- tion, voted to sustain the country. Men are patriotic without regard to education or high intellectual attainments.” Personal reminiscences were given sus- taining this view. “The salvation of the country is in the common, plain people. In that class were such men as Washington, and Grant.” General D. B. Henderson a spoke in felicitous strain. “just now,” said he, “we seem to be increasing faster than we are passing away. Generosity is mingled with patriotism, Representative Cannon will give $50,0W in a minute if the country de- mands it. In this presence, with the old 2d Corps as an example, my advice is to keep cool and give our President the lead.” Representative Joseph G. Cannon said: “Your leadership was made possible in the last war because you had fifty millions of people behind you. The pegple have sense and will not be misled. if through mis- taken guidance the country is led into a wrong position, the people will grind such leaders into powder. The country has doubled, yes, trebled in resources, so that no enemy can find successful lodgment upon our shores.“ We need a hind of pa- triotism, not of those who would shed their blood in the execution of fat contracts, but that kind which has real interest in the country.” Representative J. J. Dolliver of Towa: “ Ri mn, whenever a man who had not been a soldier came up for office, used to say: ‘He is a good man, but where was he ae fought ine battle = New Or- leans’ ir personal reasons I was. in the wer of the rebellion, but I feel at home I feel sure that the tribi cope certainty about thig nation until the Union army took of it. Henry Clay said: ‘God grant that the history of this United States may take a color not of my own times.’ Out of the noise ‘and smoke of battle came our national heroes.” Past agd Pzesent. Senator Warren: “I came here to sit at the feet of wisdom ang listen. I con- gratulate you not only.on your glorious past, but on your fealty and soldier-like appearance here tdmight, You have seen the magnificent dcyelopment of the coun- try. When we w war we believed we were right. did the other side. The-world has decided that we were right. If we go to war again let us be sure we are right, and if We go to war, north and south united, our flax’ shall never be low- ered.” ‘ ‘ Representative CBaries, A. Rufsell paid gicrious tributes to the memories of Gen- eral Sedgwick and Genezal Couch of Con- necticut, whose nates appeared on the roster. “The soldiems of-the Union army were the schoolmasters of my my genera- tion. If we are to proceed nobly today it will be because the people of this gener- ation receive the precepts and emulate the proud examples‘of the past. Connecti- cut is conservative. We followed Joe Hawley when we thought we were right. Connecticut has a larger National Guard than any other state in proportion to its size. If trouble does come the state will be ready.” Senator Shoup: ‘Your retord is won and has already been written up by the his- tcrian. I served through the war, but in a distant field. The fire of patriotism burns in the heart of the men in Colorado She furnished three regiments and two in- dependent battalions of mounted scouts.” He complimented Mr. Brosius upon his happy and just references to the President of the United States. ‘The President will rot be hoodwinked with yellow literature,” he said. ‘The chairman of the appropria- tion committee will add a cipher or two, if necessary, to sustain the President in the maintenance of the national honor.” “Is there any great danger imminent to the United States? I say no.” Speaks for Keystone State. Representative Charles N. Brumm said: “Mr. Russell hes spoken of Connecticut; I speak for Pennsylvania. If Connecticut gave to your corps the heroic Sedgwick and the brave Couch, then Pennsylvania can boast of having given to the 24 Army Cerps the gallant Sumner and Hancock, the superb. “I want to say a word as to the Amer- ican soldier at. large. He is the best fight- ing soldier the world has ever produced. There is a reason for this, xs every effect has a cause, and I say one of the reasons why the American soldier is superior to all others is because he is a citizen soldier. The soldiers of other countries. are the creatures of the power behind the throne; with us, our soldiers are themseives the power behind the throne. They are not oply the soldier and ‘the citizen, but also the sovereign. No power says to him, ‘You must go,’ but he says himself, ‘I go.’ “There has been no material revolution in systems of warfare of army or navy in the last century that was not brought about by the American citizen and soldier and sailor. “The American soldiers had demonstrated in the- war of the revolution, the war of 1812 and the Mexican war their ability to ecpe with the foreign enemy on land and sea. Foreign nations, however, prophesied that our weakness way in our inability to subdue internal dissension. Now that we are once more 4 unite! country, God help any nation that dates {o tackle us.”, Mr. Byron Andrews said the press of the country, not of the yellow kid va- riety, had done more to strengthen the government than any. other element.

The couple were married in May, 1886, and lived together until August, 18e3.

CLIMATIC CONDITIONS AND THE CROPS Record Shows No Severe Storms in the Month. EXTENT OF THE FROSTS === “The Monthly Weather Review” for De- cember, 1897, has just been issued by the Department of Agriculture, prepared under the direction of Willis L. Moore, chief of the weather bureau. The review contains much infcrmation under the following : “Storm Warnings and Weather Fore- ” “Climatology of the Mont! Cli- mate and Crop Service;” “River and Flood Service.” It also contains a number of charts and meteorological tables. It is based on 2,916 reports from stations occu- pied by regular and voluntary observers, classified as follows: 147 from weather bu- reau stations, numerous special river sta- tions, 82 from post surgeons, received through the surgeon general, United States army; 2,567 from voluntary observers, 96 received through the Southern Pacific Rail- way Company, 23 from life-saving stations, received through the superintendent United States life-saving service; 31 from Cana- dian stations; 20 from Mexican stations; 7 from Jamaica, West Indies. International simultaneous "observations are received from a few stations and used, together with trustworthy newspaper extracts and special reports. No very severe or destructive storms oc- curred during the month, the report states. Injurious Weather Conditions, ‘The injurious weather conditions of most marked note were the frosts and freezing weather that occurred in the citrus fruit districts of California the 24 and 3d and from the 16th to the 224, inclusive. On the former dates the temperature fell to con- siderably below freezing as far south as Los Angeles and Riverside counties, but the injury to the fruit interests was probably strall. Warnings of these frosts were is- sued by the weather bureau in every in- stance the morning of the day preceding their occurrence, East of the Rocky mountains cold weather with rain and snow prevailed the 2d, 3d, 4th and 5th. Freezing temperatures occurred as far south as Texas, the gulf coast and Louisiara. The remarkably low temperature of forty-three degrees below zero was re- corded at Havre the morning of the 2d. Cloudy weather with occasional rain or snow prevailed east of the Mississippi river from the 8th to the 15th. Heavy fog interfered with navigation on the great lekes on the 9th and on the north Atlantic on the 10th. A Cold Wave. On the 14th a cold wave appeared north of Montana, which gradually spread east- ward and sélthward with rain, changing to, sleet and snow on its front. The cold ‘Wave was preceded by a rain and snow storm throughout Kaneas, Nebraska and Missouri on the 18th and 14th, which con- tiued for about elghteen hours. By the morning of the 16th the front of the cold wave had réached northern Texas, Okla- homa, Arkansas, Missouri and Hlinois; it was accompanied in many cases by a thun- derstorm. The temperature fall was quite sharp, being as much as 40 degrees in five hours, in some instances. Several deaths from cold were reported. Much damage, especially to electric wires, trees and shrubbery, was done by the rain and sleet storm throughout northern Texas, Arkansas, western Tennessee and Missou- ri the 19th and 20th. It had been raining or snowing throughout this region since the 17th and at many places the rain froze as it fell, forming a thick coating of ice over exposed objects. The ice layer so formed was greatly augmented by the heavy fal of sleet that occurred on the night of the 19th. Wires broke down under the load, trees were denuded of their limbs and, according to press dispatches, at least three lives were lost by falling limbs. On the 31st a severe rain and snow storm passed over the urper Ohio valley and the middle states, the greatest financial loss being sustained in Pittsburg. The greatest fogginess during the month occurred from the 9th to the 12th in the lake region on the north Atlantic coast. Unseasonable Temperatures. The month was generally colder than usual, Unseasonable temperatures, with heavy frost in exposed places, occurred in Scuthern California and Arizona the 3d, end again the 19th, 20th, ist and 22d, the could of the last-named period being the most severe of the month. The cold wave of the 3d-5th, east of the Rocky mountains, overspread the plains region and Texas, moving castward from the latter point into Louisiana by the morning of the 5th. Snow and. sleet prevailed over the interior of Louisiana. The temperature in thesé re- gions fell-to the lowest point reached dur- ing the month. The first killing frost and ice of the season at New Orleans were ob- served the morning of the 5th. The 14th an area of high pressure appeared north of Montana. It gradually spread southward and eastward, reaching the middie Missis- sippi valley by the morning of the 16th, the Texas coast by the morning of the 17th, and the north Atlantic coast during the 18th. The temperature gradients in front of the advancing cold were rather steep, and tke advent of colder weather was marked by sharp squall winds, with rain, sleet or snow. While there were no severe cold waves during the month, there were frequent alternations from warm to cold, or from rain to snow and sleet. At the end of the month freezing temper- atures had occurred in all parts of the country, except on the immediate Pacific coast, the delta of the Mississippi and the Florida peninsula, In the last-named light to heavy and killing frosts occurred over the northern half of the peninsula in ex- posed places. ro The Spanish Court of Inquiry.
