The ad- ress of welcome was as follows: Fellow Citizens: Of all the many occasions t which I have assisted during my residence California none has afforded me more min- ere and unalloyed pieasure than the occasion hich has brought us together to-night.

(Ap- plause.) I knew Judge Smith when be came to the bar in 1881, a young man scarcely 23 years of age. He had had no extraordinary training for the profession, but he marched steadily | and faithfully onward, with the Tespect of the community and the love and unsullied faith of a large body of clients. With that he had qualities in comumon with many other law- yers of the revolutionary time, of the War of 1812, of the Mexican War. of the Civil War—for many lawyers have been prominent as fighters, not merely in the courts, but in the fleld where blood was spilied and where glorious lives went out in the defense of the principles of Government. This young man, like many of those who had preceded him, teok e natural and lively interest in the has epoken to you of his growth and progres: as-a national guardsman, and you all kno that when the formation of our miljtar: tem was changed, under the adminiétrat Governor Budd, from the old regimental for- mation of ten skeletan companies into the ex- | isting form of the United States army, regi- ments of three battalions of 400 men each, this gentleman was selected by the cholce of all the officers, and with the full approval of an_onlooking community, to the responsible position of colonel of that regiment. This was in 1867. He had had only the theoretical ex- perience which comes from such a training as he had enjoyed, but he was fortunately sur- | rounded “and helped- i work of that militar; of men in field and subsequentliy proved themselves th the officers unteer reg: t that ever went to the fleld in_the service of the country. (Applause.) No one then thought of war. It was a part of the organization of the Government, and as euch he went to the head of that military the orzanization and organization by a body body, discharging such duties as the occa. | sion called for. Hardly a year elapsea when, 8 month after the smoke of the camnon of Dewey had turned over a new page in the | history of the world, first went out from our western shores this First Reglment on the 25th day of May, 1898, marching, as you heve | been told, through the applause and through the drowning tears of mothers and sisters and | £weethearts. The young boys of that com- | mand marched full of enthusiasm, the joy of the coming battle flashing in every face and lighting every eve. On the sidewalks and in the street were tearful cries and the groans at the parting of loved | ones from those they left behind. They em- | barked upon their transport. e d two or three days later she salled out through the bay ac companied by every vessel that could turn = wheel. and every one who could go went out to bid them a last farewell, and we hung at | the Golden Gate and saw the good ship disap- pear beyond the horizon, and we turned back and beseeched Heaven with tearful prayers for | thel» safe return, ERECORD OF REGIMENT IN THE PHILIPPINES | Colonel Gives Men the Light of Suc- cess and Triumph and Capacity for War. It was an unorganized military organiza- and it landed in Ma- nila almost like an ess and triumph and the capacity for war from its titular head. the colonel of the regi- | ment. Had he been less than he was its record ELCOME GIVEN WITH ELOQUENCE | General Barnes Recalls the would not be that which history has made. 1, probably with many of you, was present at the Presidio when the citizens of San Fran- | cisco presented to that regiment a standard of colors, the ensign of the nation, the flag of the State, and when that long line came crawling up the hill and was formed into its three bat- talions en masse, and the color guard stepped out with the colonél to take that flag, that em- | blem, and bear it. God oniy knew to what fate, T wondered if this young officer understood the fearful responsibility which was placed upon him: if he realized that he held in the hollow of his hand..as God holds the waters of the ocean, the life. health, pros- rity and the safe return of all those young ives that were going out under his command. 1 hed a little chat with him: upon the grassy hillside as they were waiting for the formation of the circle that was to present that flag. 1 talked with him about his condition and his feelings, and 1 understood, before I left him, that he deeply appreciated the solemn respon- sibility that the citizens of Californja had re- in him. And that regiment had hardly been @ month upon the shores of the Philippines when it was called to tal rt in the fight in the trenches at Malate: Btiil later, in the month of August, in the siege and capture of Manila: and, from that time on, in the forages and in’ the defense of Manila, and again, at the battle of Santa Ana, where he led his con- quering host, and scarcely a month later, when commenced that signal fight which lasted for .fifteen long days that ended in the triumph of £an Pedro Macate.

Having won his gold star by gallantry in the field, and having added civic honors to his mili- tary laurcls by his able administration of the affairs of the island | of Negros, General Smith lately returned to take a much-needed rest, preliminary to returning with renewed sest to his duties as ‘gssociate Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines. His fel- loww-townsmen, proud of his achievements, paid him by this remark- able gathering the tribute due to stanch charader, splendid ability | and public services of high order in our new possessions in the Oricnt. - NERAL JAMES F.

Until the month of June, 1001, our guest con- tinued in that distinguished civil employment. enough.

(Applause.) 2 ‘With all this, he is but 43 years of age. In the full vigor of a glorious and youthful man- hood, with a hope, like a pillar of fire befors him, he has come home to us, not puffed with the sense of the glories that have fallen upon him, thinking nothing of the halo with which history, shall surround his brow, but the same gentle; kindly natured, sweet témpered “Jim’ Smith! (Applause.) No man who knew him in the old time, no man who ever took his hand then and met him_to-dey, who did not know his history, would dream that behind that hand was such a record, behind those eyes such a mind that had worked out so many difficult problems, that, an attorney of law, from his desk and from_the court he could march into' a new world and be great soldler, great financlal ad- ministrator, and at last great Judge. Gentlemen of San Francisco, you do_ not know half how great this fellow {s. (Laigh- ter and applause). You do not realize it, but tl.o time will come, 1 fondly belleve and hope, when history will write his record, and in the twenty-five or thirty years of lite that re- main to him 1 have no doubt that his wisdom and his thousht will {llumine those sultry re- glons and bring light and life and stréngth to the American people. B -On your behalf I welcome him here to-night. With the heartiest words that human heart can me or that human tongue can express I wish him on your behalf the success that we know will be his when he returns to his station. Wa shall follow him then as we have follcwed him in battlefleld and in civil admin- istration and in his judiclal career with ever- increasing confidence and hope and pride. General, Collector, administrator, Ju: you have 'so many titles I know not by which more fitly to address you—but I can say to you that wherever you go, under whateves suns your lot may be cast, you will never find more honest, manly friendship than beats in all our 1 LY hearts to-night, and shall beat as long as hearts shall throb on the soil of California. (Applause.) AR e REMEMBERS MEN OF HIS COMMAND Says Their Sacrifices Gave the Leaders Their Opportunities. Lot b S General Smith arose a storm of ap- plause swept down the long line of banqueters. - It lasted minutes and was a whole-souled welcome that was more personal in character than any other feature of the evening. General Smith spoke as follows: Mr. Toastmaster and Friends: I do not know what to say to all this. One would be made of nickel or of the original adamant not to reel it all. Not to feel, aiter these ‘three years, being once again among the friends where he has lived his youth and the best years of his manhood, to return once more to find that even the lapse of time and of distance has made no change in that greatest of human sen- timent among m the triendship, the loyal friendship of one's friends. (Applause.) Yet 1 can but receive all these magnificent tributes that have been paid to me simply as the concentrated tribute to 1300 men who made D, th#_ splendid organization known as the litdtnia Volunteers. (Applause.)” 1 can but receive It in trust and as the representa- tive, the commander of those men who car- ried the gun. 'the otiicers did their duty as they understood it. ‘lhey had volunteered | with the pure séntiment of patriotism, it 1s true, but there was the inducement of am- bition, of rank and of ‘station. But the men Wwio carried the gun and who drew $15 60 of the Government's money every month had no incentive gave that of pure and. unselfish pa- trigtism. (Applause.) “Those of you who were here on’ the 25th day of May, 188, know What volunteering meant to tiie poor fellow who carried the rifle, the knapsack and the biunket. He tore himseit frow wife and from mother, from loving sisters and from home, from everything that men who are worthy of the name of men nold dear. And | for why? With a prospect that he would Jay his lite down on forelgn battlefield, that his body would be interred in foreign ground, far awdy, not only from the country that owned him, 'but from the loved ones so dear to his heart. And he did that all for country, It can- nat be charged that he was wiliing to take the chance of lite to sacrifice the Interests of his home his relatives and those who werc dear to him for ambition’s sake, or for selfish motive, for there was no 1f he did great deeds upon tho battlefield, he did them in conjunction Wwith his fellows, and they were lost in the ;tl‘rl'l(lfln‘ the glory of the entire the pure and unadulterated love of his coun- try. (Applause.) More than that—those who wore the straps and commanded' him got the glory and the fame for his individual achieve- ment, and I would feel myself worse than re- creant to the trust and to the confidence that | that noble organization gave to me did I mot | say here on this public occasion. of all the | glory that has come to me, of all the honor that is mine, that if there be aught of s it | was made and_created by the men and the officers whom I had the honor to command. (Applause:) Beyond that, T am the mere accident of chance, the shaping of circumstances, the gathering together of what proved to be divine Providence to me, which mnade fallure impos- - had prepared themselves by years of hard labor to achieve by those abilities of which they felt | themselves possessed the honor and the glory | to which they were entitled, never got the op- portunity. Circumstances did not shape them- selves to come their way. Let me tell you, without any assurption whatever, that the last three years of my life has made me a humble man. ~(Applause.) Let me say. however, that with all that it Is awfully pleasant to receive the praise of your friends, even though In your inmost soul you feel that you do not deserve it; not because you feel that the praise is empty, but becauss you know that the friendship of your friends is 80 loyal that in you they can see little of de- fect and much of perfection. I appreciate It with all my heart. I am grate- ful for it. Nay, the word gratitude does not | express it, and if there be aught in me, my | only prayer to divine Providence. is that I may be gifted by divine Providence to achieve the good things which have been said of me here to-night. . (Applause.) IO REFLECTS CREDIT UPON THE STATE| Eminent Speakers Contribute to Pleasure of the Banquet. Judge Murasky read letters from Gov- crnor Gage and General S. B. M. Young, commanding the Department of Califor- nia, announcing their regret at being unable’ to be present and render honor to General Smith. James G. Maguire responded to the toast, ‘“The - President of the United States.” He spoke of the patriotism of the varlous dwellers in the White House. He paid a high compliment to the gallant conauct of General Smith and the men of the First California Regiment and said that the sons of California had reflected as much honor on the State as had any ot the citizens of other States. Judge Ma- guire aroused enthusiasm by lauding President Roosevelt, who, he declarea, was a man of the people and a worthy successor of George Washington, “‘doing Hile right as he sees it and with God's aid.” General W, R. Shafter received a rous- ing welcome when he arose to reply to the toast of “The Regwar Army.” = He told of the history ot the army of the United States from the time it was formed, one hundred and eieven years ago. ‘the guests sprang lo their feet and cneered the speaker en he declared that American soldiers had never sur- renderea to toreign troops, with but one exception, .and tnen the officer in com- mand was court-martialed and sentenced to be shot.. In'closing ms speech General Shafter thanked General Smith for his vaiuable services in the recent war and previcted that he would be as victorious n the future as a member of the Philip- pine juaiciary as he had been as a wearer of tne shoulder straps of an American officer. Chiet Justice W. H. Beatty responded for *“the Juaiciar and said that the iegal profession was proud to number in its ranks so distinguished a man as Gen- eral “Jim" Smith. The jurist dwelt on the career of the guest of honor and.said that as a lawyer, soldier, admin‘strator anu a Judge he reflected credit to his | State and country and would attain still higher honors. D. M. Delmas spoke to the toast “Gen- eral, Governor, Judge.” He said that to have attained any one of these positions would have satisfied the ambitions of o et Py T A e | most men. The guest of the evening, how- reslmom. indication of all that he has performed for ever, had proved of such sterling stuff that he had occupled each of the exalted stations successively even as a young man and his career promised still’ more exalted, honors as his rewards. He sald that Judge Smith would be an inspira- tion to the younger generations of Call- fornlans and a matter of State pride to the oider, and‘ that California had no terms in ‘which to express her esteem of her noble son. 3 T. T. Williams responded to the toast “The_ Press,” concluding with a humer- ous def of “vellow journalism.™ Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz spoke briefly of San Francisco. He related with what pride the city greeted its sod who had sible, Other men of far greater ability and of | achleved so much renown, and how well far greater mwuu than my own, who | deserved the hoi®rs were. He made ref- § ey Brilliant Oratory Displayed at Banquet. Enthusiasm Greets Distinguished Speakers.

District Attorney Lewis F. Byington, in his response to “California and Her Sons,” dwelt eloquently upon the part the State had taken in the Spanish war both on land and sea, and his mention of the Oregon was warmly applauded. | Colonel Willlam = D. ~McCarthy, as a comrade in.arms of Judge Smith when he was colonel of the First California Vol- unteers, paid his tribute to the guest of the evening. Colgonel Thomas F. Barry was fervid in praise of the volunteer sol- diery of the United States, and Colonel | H. 1. Kowalsky spoke briefly but earnest- |1y of the part taken in the war by the | women of the country.
