I don’t think that you shouldget bored by any long speeches. The literary committee tcok advantage ol my nbsence irom the City and invited me to come here, and now I am fully reminded that “brevity 1s wit.” Iam well aware that the orator of t'e occasion is present. I am well aware that it is his duty to dweli upon the glorious aciievements of the American Republic, nor will I entrench upon bis field, but permit me to thank you for the very excellent and successiul celebration we have had. Edward Everett said in answer to the scoffs mnde with reference (o the Revolutionary fathers when they dared 1o take up arms that *it was not the munitions of war that were so important in the conflict of that time, butit was the spirit of the cause, and it was thatspirit g for liberty that made the fewarms of tne American scldier superior to the arms of test fighting powers of ihe earth,” and so .opg as the American people love their ure invincib e, and for that reason we have no enemies in the civilized world to-d We are. in the language of the President, ‘‘at peace with all the world.” We have no ene- mies unless we muke an exception of some of those in our own houschold. There are men who pelieve in the principles of liberiy and believe that the great Republic stands for that. The people may become indiffrent in politics and not demand servanis of theirs to conduct themsel , but I hoid that the great mass of the people are entitled to proteciion vents. They are entitled 10 protection against invasion of proper: against betrayal by their own tiieir rights to liberty by the giant corporations of their own creation. ; There has grown up in the land aspirit of indifference to_men in power who break the law and there re giant moxopolics more powerful thau the National organizition.

That boastcan be justified by the anuexa- tion of the Haweiian Isiands. A jartv of Amerieans and Englishmen were gathered together discussing the greatness of their countrics.

It was one of the most persistent and bloody conflicts of history. Many failures and many triumphs marked its course. It seemed that mankind of the past could not institute & Gov- erament for the peopie that would withstand the hostile attacks of kingiy power. The downta 1 of republics were hailed with delight py tne advocates of “kingly powe; and seized on as the irrefutable argument of the inubility of the people to govern taemselve: Out of this couflict of principles grew the demand for constitutiona! government. Man- kind became restless under the oppressive and cavricious rule of kings. The struggle for iib- erty on the part of the people brought the Romuan and Hellenie republics oaly for mankind to see th iade away. The United Netherlands was another Government in protest of king es aud gave 10 the galiaut detenders o1 religious iiberiy a Liberty whicn they enjoyed for centuries.

The American laborer, whether native or adopted, is necessarily led upon to maintain 8 higher standard of citizenship; many burdens of state rest upon hin iis methods of life are more expeusive, and thereiore it requires a higher compensation for nis labor to enable him to live and sustaiu with proper dignity and respect his position in the world as an Ameri- | can citizen.

The small boys and girls continued the celebration with renewed zeal yesterday and all over the City the noise of toy cannons, toy pistols and firecrackers ex- ploding was incessant. The police received instructions yester- day to seize all toy cannons ‘and pistols in the possession of minors to protect them from injury, and a large number are temporarily in the hands of Property Cierk Moran. At the Receiving Hospital the doctors were not kept so busy as on the previous day, possibly owing to the precautions taken by the police. Among those treated for powder burns of the face, hands or eyes were: William Hubbard, 321 Chelsea street; George Gerbardt, 314 Sixth street; Arthur Roesne-, 9 Bowie avenue; George Deasy, 1340 Folsom street; Michael Lyndon, 15 Folsom avenue; and Louis Meyers, 522 Pine street. Charles Whalen had two of his fingers badly burned and a piece biown of an- other by the premature explosion of a charge in a toy cannon. Arihur Hynes, 1503 Leavenworth street, dropped a ngnted runk intoa can of powder, and his face, arms, eyes and hands were se- | ver¢ly burned. -He narrowly escaped los- Joseph Hallihan had a bullet through his hand by the premature expiosion of a toy pistol. Emil Demar- tini of San Antonio place was walking along Kearny sireet with his father, and at Jackson street he was struck on the left arm by a spent ball and wounded. IN THE PARK. Thousands Spent the Day in the Big Playground. There were thousands of people in Golden Gate Park yesterday. The day was one of S8an Francisco's ideal samples of July weather. Nature herself seemed to put forth all her charms, as if she, too, must be in harmony on the eve of the arrival of the Eastern Endeavorers to the City. Superintendent McLaren had the grounds put in extra good coudition. Every driveway, walk and tract had been cleared of any and all refuss in the shape ofscraps of paper or dried leaves. The grass had been freshly watered, giving the wide lawns a most refreshing appearance. In addition to this the numerous flower beds had been trimmed for the ogcasion. Captain Thomson, the head of the park police, had his battalion looking their very best. s The cool shade of the trees offered pro- tection from the sun’s rays, though in the open the usual Pacilic Ocean cooling breeze made it pleasant for brisk walking, while those on the wheel or in vyehicles seemed to find it just about right to suit them. Even the permanent residenis of the aviary seemed to ‘‘catch on,” so to speak, as each Jitile creature hopped about in apparent joy, and the great multitude of observers passed admiringly by their wire enclosure. Old *“*Demoiselie,”” the' crane of North Africa, stretched its neck an ex- tra_inch or two to take in the situation, while the peacock and his female com panion flew about through the crowd at the music-stand, much to the joy and pleasure of the ladies, who no doubt en- vied them their bright plumage. To add to all tuis joy and pleasyre for one day the great treat of the afternoon was in the mnsic programme as prepared by Professor Spadina, who has in the past received the good will of those who have been visitors to the park. Yesterday’s programme was no exception to the gen- eral rule, and the rendition of it was fre- quently applauded. The special programme for the great concert to be given on July 10, for the benefit of the Christian Endeavorers, will be something worth listening to. JUNIORS’ NIGHT. The Daughters of Liberty Assist the J. O. A M. The Junior Order of United American Mechanics and the Daugnters ot Liberty celebrated the National anniversary last evening by an entertainnient and dance in Oda Fellows’ Hall, and despite the fact that there were so ‘many people at the public fireworks and at the Chutes the attendance was iarge.

MADRID, Spary, July 5.—It is. persist- ently :aid that General Weyler will be re- called. The Queen Regent to-day held a long conference with General Blanco. What they talked about is not known, but it is taken for granted that Blaneo will succred Weyler. The Ministerial press, Wil however, declares that Weyler will re-| main at his post. La Correspondencia de E-pana, in an erticle over the signature of Colonel Gue- ara Alas, says: “As a rule Svanish poli- ticians believe Weyler's recali 1s impend- ing. We do not share this opinion. There ars strong reasons why Weyler should continue at the head of our army in Cuba. The postponement of the Cuban elections until January 15, 1898, is proof positive that the Government maintains ifs pur- pose o finish the rebeilion by force of arms alone. The Government does not wish to give up to a concentration of peasants lor the devastation of extensive territori s, nor otker proceedings w jch aro incompatible with the establishment of reforms. “‘Under this condition of affairs it is not likely that Weyler will be suspended. Weyier invented the present plan of cam- paign; no one could carry out Weyler's methods better than Weyler himself and no other general of any political prominence would be willing to be an agent for the carrying out of Weyler's own invention. “Weyler's recall was imminentin No- vember last, when his first expedition 10 Pinar del Rio proved disastrous. Had the insurgents possessed any real military force the consequence of bis failure would have been falal to our cause. But that opbportunity passed and Weyler, who is sufficiently smart, went for his lost mili- tary prestige and was in part successful through his pitiless application of a plan of congnest which has weakened the in- surgents, annibilated the peaceful, slarmed the philanthropic feeling of for- eign nations, and which already begins to terrorize the inhabitants of Spain. “Weyler and his plan are indissolubly united. With his present policy the in- surrection may possibly be reduced to in- significant proportions, but will not disap- pear until Cuban life is annibilated. This country is anxious to know the truth, It is tired of deceit and delusion and realizes the gavity of the situation, as was shown ;‘y the acquiescence of the audience at the heatre Moderne the other night, when Senor Silvela used language which not long ago would nave raised a tempest of indignation. *The weakness of Weyler’s plans will be more apparent in the east than in the west. Even if he dare, which we doubr, withdraw half of the troops now in the west, nis eastern campaign will have no results worth mentioning. But for every insurgent killed ten pacificos will verish through staryation, and ten Spanish sol- diers will also die in the hospitals. Be this as it may, when the rainy season is over many soldiers will be needed to con- tinue the warand a great deal more money required to continue the campaign. “'Let there be no mistake about this. Weyler will not, must not be recalled so long as his methods are maintained. The Government will not spontanesusly re- nounce them until it is persuaded that their application will not bring about the total extinction of the rebellion.” SELEE LOOKING KUK AN AERONAUT.
