Unlon Square was the center pf attrac- tion for the tide of people that made its way up and down Market street, for the arains of the bapd drew the people on to nd the Supervisors | n! the square, where they lingered and lis- | tened and waited for the end. In Washington and Columbia Squares children were greatly in evidence, for t of the firecrackers had been buined by the time the bands piped up, and ungsters were willing to lie on the and whistle accompaniments to the r known tunes. s The concerts lasted from 2 o’clock until 5, and during the intervening hours the three squares were blocked with people. T certs preached more patriotism o umber than did_either the pa- rade or the exercises in the evening, or even the fireworks that made day of night and rent the air with their racket. awa the ¥ TROOPER GET. SERIOUS FALL | Small Boys Treated at Harbor Hos- | stone. pital for Various Burns and Injuries. There was only one serious Fourth of July accident treated at the Harbor Hos- pital yesterday. George Bunyer of Troop K, F nth Ca ken and he sustained a possible fracture of the skull The troop was stationed on Davis street awaiting the starting of tae parade when Bunyer’s horse became rest- less. Then a youngster threw a fire- cracker and it started the horse rearing, the result being that the horseman was thrown and struck his head on the curb- After being treated at the Harbor Hospital Bunyer was removed in the am- bulance to the Presidio. Frank Vivian was treated for burns on the face. He was blowing on thé fuse of a firecracker, when it exploded. Martin Cummins, 156 Perry street, tried to make a bomb out of a tomato can. gers off Martin’s right hand.

The story of the injured man is to the effect that he was in the mct of hanging out clothes and did not notice from what direction the shot came, He thinks it was fired by some ons who was celebrating the Fourth with a loaded pistol. A buflet fired by some cargless person narrowly missed killing Mrs, V. P. Buck- ley in her residence at the corner of Broadway and Taylor street yesterday afternocn, Mrs, Buckley was seated near a window with her husband watching childreh in the street, when the bullet whizzed close to her head and jmbedded itself in the back of & sofa, The police were unable to ascertain who fired the shot. The staff of physicians at the Emergen- cy Hospital were kept busy ministering to the wounds of a small army of patriotic young Americans who displayed too much ardor in celebrating their nation’s birth- day.

Every seat in the big inclosure was occupied and stand- ing room was hard to find. This crowd was a vastly Cifferent crowd than the one that watched the boxing contests in the afternoon. Parents and children sat in the darkness and watched the touching off of set pleces and skyrockets. The - fireworks were equal to those of former years, and as each plece was thrown out in bold relief by myriad lights the cheering was intense. Among the pictures that aroused the greatest enthu- siagm were the likenesses of Wul;lx on and McKinley and the picture of the bat- tleship Oregon. There were ous pleces that we? huzely appreclated by the children, Probably the handsomest sight was “fhe waterfall,” which was a true represefitation of water rushing over a precipice, Not an accident marred the evening’s entertainment, . Lieutenant Anderson and a Jarge squad of police kept perfect order. There was no crowding and no incidents that would create trouble or annoyance to those who attended the exhibition, The display g'ven jn Washington square was greatly appreciated by the residents of that vicinity, SPARKS CAUSE BUT FEW FIRES Only Seventeen Alarms Are Turned in During the Past Twenty- \ Four Hours. In the twenty-four hours of yesterday, ending at midnight, there were only sev- enteen alarms of fire in the entire city, the cause in each case being due to sparks from fireworks, Chief Sullivan of the Fire Department and his force of 430 men were on con- stant duty and the reserve apparatus of four steam engines and two chemicals were added to the regular fire-fighting machinery, Captain Comstock of the Un- derwriters’ Fire Patrol, also had his men on constant watch, and like the men of the Fire Department, none were allowed to leave the engine houses for meals. One hundred extra men were on duty with the forces of Chief Sullivan, The prompt maunner in which the Fire Depm&int and the Fire Patrol respend- ed to alarms prevented any serious damage, the majority of the calls being for small fires, which might, however, J B HOUTOFF 4 { o= g2 SOME FEATURES OF THE PA- + RADE AND THE PEOPLE IN LINE. ;2 o have resulted in heavy loss but for the rapid appearance of the firemen after the alarms were sounded.

The two-story frame butld- ing is owned by Claus Spreckels and the upper portion of the place was occupied by Mrs. L, Dean as a lodging house. The restaurant was severely damaged by fire and water and the contents of the upper story were damaged by smoke. The dam- age to building and contents is estimated to be about $800, fully covered by insur- ance. —_—— The Fourth at Lick Home, Friends to the number of fifty of the inmates of the Lick Old Ladies’ Home and of the new matron, Mrs, Dr. Sterrett, had a most enjoyable basket picnic at the home in celebration of the glorious Fourth, - It was late in the afternoon be- fore the guests departed, s e , National Musical Teachers.

When dangers confront us, touch but the signal and a nation responds. Was there ever a more wholesome exhi- bition of this national sentiment than when our President visited California? Wherever his kindly sympathetic face was seen an admiring constituency thronged to do him honor, and those who had opposed his candidacy but a few months ago were as earnest in their hom- age as the mest zealous champions of his policles. To all he was our President, our guest, our tenant of the White House, and to his credit be It sald he acted well the part. Our citizens may differ as to what are termed political questions and range themselves in the various parties that represent divergent views, but when the volce of the people thunders its ver- dict through the medium of the ballot box a united countr§ accepts and sin- cerely honors the choice of the sovereign will. And this is so because the impell- ing thought of all partisan organization is love of country. It is confined to no particular class; it Is limited to no spe- cial party. The rank and file of one po- litical faith is animated by the same hope of national greatness as inspires another. This is true whether the party is com- posed of a handful of brave and earnest men who meet upon the open hustings beneath the canopy of heaven or is swell- ed by millions who assemble under the lighted arches of vaulted pavilions. “With this true ring of Americanism— the only true Americanism, by the way— permeating every fiber of the body pol- itic, it is pertinent to ask in good faith of those who think we have outlived the constitution, and that the moral philos- ophy of the Declaration has no n‘) ica- tion to this age, what substitute will you offer, I pause for a reply. They com- lain of the restrictions and allege de- ects in these instruments, but they offer no remedy. The fabric of distrust has been weaved by these doubters since our acquisition of colonies in the far off Ori- ent, and it raises the question as to the expediency and the legality of this step. It is urged that the needs of commerce de‘f‘ma our {stand possessions; that trade follows the flag, and that this market is essential to the maintenance of the rare prosperity that is enjoyed in our commer- cial centers. Commerce and the Flag. “Tt is true that our trade must be given every encouragement. The life of the na- tion depends upon the activity of our commerce. Commerclalism is the con- comitant of patriotism. There is no stim- ulus that will add to its capacity that we unless inhibited by law or morals.

You know its importance; you have sean- ned the statistics and through them you bave seen it swell. We know that it has swept aside every barrier that our rivals have raised to bar its progress; we know it has penetrated the capitals of our keen- est competitors; we know it has invaded the Tealms ovér which they have cast their soverelgnty; we know that as others have expanded in empjre its resistless in- fluence has broadened with the tide; we | kncw it has outstepped them all in the contest for commercial supremacy with- out a flag to follow and hardly a ship to call its own. Trade does not follow the flag; it follows a superior article; it fol- lows honest dealing; it follows low prices; it follows Inventive genius: it follows American enterprise; it follows supply and demand. “But this is a mere theory, and what- ever the correct solution may be it can | have little influence on the question, as we have taken possession of the new territory and our Supreme Court has set- tled the legality of the enterprise by de- claring it to be constitutional. “This means that our standard will float in Oriental citadels and that the atmo- sphere of American liberty will implant the ideals that we cherish upon the soil that rejeeted the flat of Spanish tyranny. It behooves us in framing the Govern- ment which must be observed in this dis- tant but no longer foreign clime, to have a care lest the errors that have beset cth- ers creep into our dominancy. We must remember that the truths ‘all men are created equal’ and ‘governments derive their power from the consent of the gov- erned’ are vibrating around the hearth- stones of the Filipino with the same en- ergy that they animated the men of 'T6, Tho lessons of misrule that have been taught by governmental masters litter the pages of history. The Perstan monarch and the Roman congueror have attracted the emulation of mcdern rulers when their awful tyranny should have served as a dread warnlnglot the implacable intoxica- tion of unbridled power. Bright Auguries of Future. “We must govern in sight of the mis- governed Vi s of the pa#, ‘we must rule in the face of the grewSome exam:- of the Samaritan who bound the wound of a certaln man who went down from Je- rusalem to Jericho.” We must fulfill this mission, and I believe we will. Should we swerve from this purpose it would be for only an instant, for a Chatham or a Burke would rise in every crcssroads and cry for justice. With the memory of the Wrongs ‘that gave birth to this republic, with the inspiration of the principles that have guided it through the adversities and the fortunes of one hundred and twenty- five years, we cannot fail in the admin- istration of our wards across :he sea. We shall accomplish success where others have met with failure, remembering that Justice and equality are as essential to I:b- erty in the Philippines as in our own be- loved country. “In-this dawning hour of another con- tury we are environed with the brightest auguries of the future: The white-hulled transports that ride the trapquil waters of our harbor have dropped their cargo of soldiers, the preluds to freight- ing the ocean with these argosies of our domestic wealth. The gaping wounds of conflict are nearly healed, and wha: a chasm the war itself has bridged! The veterans of civil strife who left their homes to don the blue and those who wore the gray were rivals once again in eager zeal to lift the sword and fight beneath a common flag.
