Mr. President and Gentlemen: 1 esteem it a great honor to be called upon to respond to the toast of the “Navy'' before the Union League Club, but I regret that the very short mnotice as not allowed me to prepare re- marks at ail worthy of so important and inter- esting a subject as the navy of .the United Stat 1 might speak of the gallantry and devotion to @uty shown by the men and officers of our rom the @ay when the American flag hoisted on board a vessel of war down nt victorles of Manila and San- ago, actions which in themselves closed a war and established the United States as a naval power of the first rank. But the achievements of the navy are known to the world and are recited with pride by the youngest scholars in our broad, land. 1 may claim, however, that the same high courage and readiness for any duty that were shown by Paul Jones, Decatur, Stewart, Perry and ail the long list of men who have given their lives to the country’s service in times of need, and who have iliustrated some of the brightest pages of our history, actuate to-day the man behind the gun. And he is as ready to respond to the call of duty, whether serving in the bat- torpedo-boat, as he was in the glo- *Old jronsides” met and van- The traditions of the old navy are cherished and kept alive by the man of the forecastle as by him of the quarter- deck. All our history tells us of the actions in which our shipe have engaged and of the cour- age and endurance in the course of duty of the men who served in them, but. outside of the navy, far too little is known of the men who designed and bullt those ships to carry our flag t= victory, or sometimes to defeats as glorious as any victory. How they did their work and what recount briefly evening The history of the building of our navy be broadly divided into three great periods, in each of which have American vessels compared #hip to ship more than favorably with those of the leading naval powers of the world. First came the era of the great salling frigates—the Constitution, United States, Constellation— whose models Jed the world In grace ana beauty, and whose superior gunpowder made them more than a match for any ships of their class afloat. These vessels for sea-going quali- ties have mever been surpassed and they were the forerunners of the famous American clipper ships. Then came a tramsition period, when efforts were made, and successfully for the 1ime, to combine the new power, steam, with the graceful equipment of the full-rigged sail- ing ship. and 1558 saw the American flag car- ried by the Wabash, Merrimac and others that were aptly designated by an able British writer as battleships in the disguise of frigates. DESIGNERS LEAD THE WORLD. Again had American designers and ordnanee officers led the world in the type of ships put afloat and armed by our country. -And as imi- tatioin is the sincerest form of flattery we may recall with pride that the great naval powers of Europe hastened to build vessels as nearly equal to them as possible. * With the civil war in 1861 there was seen at once the need of vessels of a new and more powerful type to meet the conditions of that time, and the Monijtor, the typical mastless i 3 quished her gallant foe: the country owes to them I will try to this in the time allotted me Nome agent of the Ames Mercantile Com- pany.

EEAVY FINE IMPOSED ON { CAPTAIN CHRISTENSON Master of Winchester Must Pay | 85000 for Failing to Get Health Certificate. Captain Christenson,. master of the American schooner Winchester, arrived from Apia recently with a cargo of co- pra, but neglected to obtain a certificate of health. For this neglect a fine of $5000 was imposed in accordance with the Re- vised Statutes. Customs Collector Strat- ton held up the schooner for the fine, and Captain Christenson was in a salt-water g(g'&:ying to explain that he had not intefded to break the law, and even had not n aware that such a law was in existence. Actuated by the $5000 scare, the captain pleaded that the fine be re- mitted and solemnly promised that never a‘atnh would he forget his certificate of health. The Collector has sent on to Washing- ton on behalf of Christenson an appeal from his action in imposing the fine. ironclad, was produced by the genius of John Erickson and the skill of American mechanics. And well was she named the Monitor, as she taught to all nations a new chapter in the bullding of warships and a revolution in ship designing was made. From the day when she met the Merrimac in Hampton Roads and checked her career of destruction. no vessel of war has been commissioned under any flag Whose construction and arrangement of battery have not been largely influenced by the achiev ments of the ‘‘cheese box on a raft”’ as the Monitor was at first eomewhat contemptuous- y styled. At the close of the civil war the United States had in commission the most efficient fleet in the world for the special purposes for which it had been created. but then for many vears the navy stood still, and to stand stiil was to recede from the proud position we Reld until our country was about the twentieth in rank among nations maintaining a naval force. Vessel after vessel was sold, or worn out in the service assigned and dropped from the list, until we had _tne bare skele- ton of a navy The old castiron Euns that and Fort in our navy had been heard at Mobile, Charleston her were gradually rusting away or at best serving for drill purposes and eeping al! the feeling of readiness to do any and all duty demanded of_men and officers. But, gentlemen, our country fs, and must always be, a naval power, and all Americans love /the havy.and are proud of its history. We who, in the dark days from 1566 to 1885, had often to'apologize for the character of the ships representing the country on foreign sta- tions, knew that the time must come when we would again be serving in ships in which we could feel all a seaman’'s pride, ships that would carry the flag with honor and challenge the admiration of the world. : In the meantime the men and-ef e navy did the duty that came to _BTOW ing at times as sailors must, but preparing themselves for thé better time coming. At last the day of battleships and powerful cruisers dawned for us and again the Amer}- can_designer and shipwright were ready for the new conditions. At first we were content to purchase abroad a few plans of ships that had been successful and to duplicate them, with many improvements that were at once. sug- gested, but that time was soon past and the American naval constructor designed the Ore- gon and her class, vessels which at once placed us in the front rank in shipbuilding and which for their tonnage have not yet been equalled by any nation. These vessels were at first criticized s having too many and too heavy guns, leading characteristics of American men- of-war of the past, and,as being deficient in speed; how ill-judged were such critieisms was shown at Santiago. We have not been content, howe er, to fol- low @ beaten track, easy and sure of Success as it might seem, and the motto of the service has been ““Onward and upward.” The works on the shore of San Francisco Bay that sent the Oregon on her career of success under every trial, and at last to victory, is now building for the country ships as superior to her in all- round efficiency as that splendid vessel was to the double turreted monitor of 1564. And the designs of those \*hips are as carefully studied y foreign naval experts as wes By rige pask) ‘ex re the models In speaking of the nav then, let us re- member with honor the American naval con- structor and the American skilled mechanic who have given to the men afloat the ships that have carried our flag to victory; ships that will ays be a sure defense for the security of our country. 1O AOh Mayor Eugene E., Schmitz g ovation when called upon: to sl;:::l:‘:r? the toast of “San Francisco and Her Future ' The remarks of the Mayor were frequent- ly interrupted by applause, and there was long and hearty cheering when he fin- ished his address. 1In replying t6 the toast Mayor Schmitz said: SPEAKS OF ELECTION.

Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, May 3.—At 7:30 o’clock this evening a serious rear-end collision occurred on the Pasadena and Los An- geles Electric Raflway between this city and Pasadena In which at least a dozen persons were injured, half of that num- ber severely. The impact was so great that both cars were badly damaged and the wonder is that no one was killed. Some of the victims of the wreck are so badly injured that fears are felt for their recovery. The injured, so far as known, are as follows: Adolph Wolf, South Pasadena, feet and leg crushed; 'Mrs. Marcus A: Hall, Pasadena, nose broken, face bad contused, knee broken; Marcus A. H-H Pasadeng, head and face badly cut; Mrs, May Altman, 127 East Thirty- i street, Los ‘Angeles, left leg brok’;:'w fi:g B. Stephens, Postmaster, South Pasa- dena, severely cut over left eye; G. 8.

Iam not, but I stand for what is pure in poli- ties, and as.a free Republican ought to stand, against “that element which js Itke a parasite sucking the blood from not only the Repubilcan party but other parties—the corrupt boss. That 1 am -against, and whi 1 disclaim being a reformer 1 will ever be against the corrupt boss In politics; and every man who claims to be a Republican should do all he can to down that element in the party and theréby show the people of this city and the State that the Republican party will mot in the future stand for it any longer. (Cheers.) As long as the party adheres to the principle which has been put forth by its champlons there can be no question of its success. 1 feel secure in stating that in the next campalign, with the experience we have had in the past, the Republican party will achieve a great vi tory not only in San Franclsco, but in tl State of Californa. Gentlemen, T thank you. (Great Applause.) General W. H. L. Barnes held the at- tentlon of the assemblage by his masterly reply to the toast of “Our Guests.”” Gen- eral Barnes did not mince matters in his speech, and, though he gave small atten- tion to the subject matter to which he was asked to respond, his views were the cause of prolonged and frequent inter- ruptions of enthusiasm on the part of his hearers. In replying to the toast of “Our Guests” General Barnes said: A FAMILY GATHERING. Mr. President and Gentlemen of this League: It is a very great pleasure to be present here to-night. 1 feel as though we were having a Jittle family gathering to enjoy again the mem- orles that constitute ghe heritage and the honor of every man who has had the privilege of in- scribing on his banner the history and the tra- ditions of the Republican party. 1 must say, Mr. President, that it is rare that 1 am summoned to my t g0 early in the evening. (Laughter.) 1 am usually called in about the twelfth or the fifteenth round to fight to a finish. (Renewed laughter.) T have been a little appelled at the extent of the prepara- tion of the gentlemen who have preceded me, and who unlike myself have had days, weeks and perhaps months for preparation, but he is a poor Republiéan who is not ready on almost any occaslon to say something at least to those who have been with him in so many struggles for the success of the party and its principles, sho have witnessed so many of Its splendid Vietorfes and who are the heirs of its splendid history. It is said in the law that no man can be the heir of the living, and Yet the paradox is trus of us that we are the heirs of the party, yet youns, vet full of life and energy and victory, that has written in letters of gold upon the history of the world the record of this great re- public whose life has just begun. There s no reason why the Republican party should not be fmmortal. Its history shows that it has been placed upon the broadest principles of right and justice and truth in the adminis- tration of public affairs, in the conduct of its judicial system, in ite executive affairs, in the valor of fts urmy and the prowess of ifs nav: and it bears its flag to-day with greater glor: with higher esteem, with respect, indeed the e . tor, name unknown, riding into Los Ange- les, knee badly cut; Mrs. Stebbins, resi- dence unknown, badly bruised. The accldent occurred on a reverse curve on a, down grade between the two cities. The incoming car slg) ed its trol- ley and was brought to a sudden stop. All the lights became extinguished. and the conductor was attempting to replace the trolley when an outward-bound car going around the curve plunged into the rear of the other. The puun%eru in the darkened car were thrown from their feet and show- ered with broken glass. Some were caught in the wreckage, and although assistance arrived almost immediately it was some time before they could be removed. Both of the cars were heavily loaded with pas- sengers going to and from Los Angeles on acount of the fiesta celebration. Manager Smith of the road does not lay the blame on any of the employes, saying that the slipping of the trolley was no oné’s fault and the motorman on the out- going car was not at fault on account of the darkness of the one ahead. The most serfously injured was A. Wolf, but the extent of his injuries cannot be stated to- night. Others of the injured were cared for at the Pasadena hospital. Comfort for Worthy Girls. During the last few weeks the co-opera- tive homes for wvrlthy working girls, lo- cated at 648 Folsom' street and at 4 and 5 Vienna place, have been improved con- siderably as far as comfort is concerned. The homes have been the recipient of many valuable donations, for which the management offers its sincere thanks. — e Excursion to the Mountain, There will be a large excursion to Mount Tamalpais over the zigzag railroad Mon- day.

T was sttck very much when T read the ac- count of the will of the great Englishman, Cecil Rhodes, upon obeerving he had made provision in that document for the continuous life of two Americans in the great English university, Ox- ford, in order that they might be Aglicized. I should have thought a great deal more of Cecil Rhodes’ wlll if he had provided in his will that there should come every year an equal number nglishmen to be educated in the American university. (Laughter and applause.) I have a strong faith in the power of Ameri- can education. I haye the greatest distrust of foreign education. So far as my personal ex- perience goes I have never known an Ameri- can_educated abroad, and particularly in Eng land, who did mot come home with English notions and English habits, and who Was not constantly in the habit, as they say, of turn- ing up the bottoms of his trousers whenever it rains in London. I do not know what is £0ing to be the result of that scheme.' but if it is to result in the unien of the FEnglish- speaking races, Mr. President, it will be when we have annexed Great Eritain (laughter), and Great Britain shall be seeking admission to the Congress of this tountry and to enjoy the blessings and the benefits of American Gov- ernment. (Laughter and applause.) We are fast coming to that condition of things. The Col- lector of the Port has spoken of the growth of our tonnage, of the extent of our commerce, and indeed there is something marvelous In it. The infinite resources of this great nation of ours are still in thelr inrancy. This is be- coming the creditor nation of the world, build- ing railways in London, building ships that are destined to carry the commerce of the world, and on every side becoming the exponent of the power of the greatest peopie on the*face of the globe. France has thirty-eight -millions of people; Germany has a few more; England has more, but here upon this continent, so sparsely settied that one settler can't shout loud enough o be heard by his nelghbor—in a State like ours, where there are about three people to the square mile—we have seyenty-five millions of people; destined in the ordinary progress of events to be shortly one hundred millions and at Iast two hundred millions, every field oc- cupled, every acre filled, every stream 'turn- ing the wheels of manufacture, every keel bear- ing its grain, and the great State of our adop- tion, California. sending forth an increasing production of the fruits of the world, destined to become the great supply of all the deciduous and the other fruits of the nation, not by one railroad as was stated the other night. but it will take a dozen rafiroads coming Into Cali- fornia to do its business inside of - twenty years.

Trades xd lines organized and began business here whose sails are whitening the waters of the bay and traveling to the east toward the Orlent and toward the south. It will not be ten years before every one of the great trunk lines of rallway in ‘the Bast will have its oonnection with California, and we shall have our State swarming with rafllroads as the streets of Chi- cago. are occupled with a net of rallways that center there from all over the United States. Our position Is in many respects unfortunate, because there are large stretches of desert land Yet 1o be irrigated, and yet I see the Congress- man from Nevada has already presented a plan for the irrigation of that State by the storage of waters, a plan that will make the valley of the Humboldt and the - great sagebrush plains of that State full of growth, life and beauty. Arizona, desolate as it has been, is becoming filled with systems of irrigation, and that territory is destined to become ome of the great producing centers of all that tends 1o make life better and purer. How can we begin to conjecture what shall be the futurs of this country of ours? I shall not live to see it, but there are young men at this table who if they live to the average of human life will see San Francisco a great central force, not merely of wealth, but of civilization and education: who will live to see not merely a single light shining out here at the mouth of this- great bay of San Francisco to tell the incoming saflor which way he shall steer his bark, but there shall be a million -electri~ lights blazing into the zenith and flashing with electrical power and life the great truth that all _is well with Californfa. and. indeed this Whole country. (Great applause.) RESPECT WILL PREVAIL. There is a legend of one of the Masonic orders that a knight saw written upon the heavens “‘In this sign you shail conquer.” We can see for the American people, wherever they go, to_whatever zone their power extends, whether fo the Arctic or to the equator, liberty, the rights of man, universal education, respect for God and the home will prevail wherever the American flag floats and wherever Ameri- can law is extended. . “The enemies of the republic are making a great fuss just now because some Filipinos have had more water than they were used to, holding the President of the -United States re. sponsible for it.

They find fault, but they make no suggestion of anything which shall bring. about a better condition of things. The people of the country understand it The. efforts- that are made in Congress to involve the Republican party and the administration in difficulties will prove futile and the prophecies of evil that these hooting_owls indulge in Will come 'to naught and T firmly, believe' in this next Presidential campaign the Republican party will not only be again triumphant, but the last sod will be placed and the- last’ gunfire will be had over the nom-combatant Democrat. Hughes Tells of Army’s Deeds. F. S. Stratton Makes Able A ddress. officers of the army and navy who are pres- ent, that there is no spot of earth where they can be more welcome, no place where the rec- ords they have helped to make are more cher- ished than in organizations such as this which exist all over the United States. They are the most liberty-loving of men. They are the men who will do, as they have always done, their full duty by the nation and by the Go ernment. And although dissensions may ari: sometimes, though sometimes the boss, whom the Mayor is so afraid of, will come to the front from time to-time, he will be as ephe- meral as the moth that flutters around the blaze, and the nearer the boss comes to the blaze of liberty the more he will be singed and finally he will be consumed in it. THERE MUST BE LEADERS. There ought to be no such things as bosses, but there must be leaders. As in the game of football, where boys with organization and team work will walk right over a team of giants without organization and leadership and make a goal every time they tr so it is In politics. We have got to hav rganization, we have got to move together. We have got - to practice the art of politics. The great pop- ular heart will be for what is right, when they are shown the right, and they will be shown it: but from now until the end of time we cannot get along without leaders. That is one of the great troubles to-day in Congress. We have no real avowed leader of the Repub- lican party in either the Senate or House of Representatives. You see it to-day In the di- vision of that party upon questions and the lack of sufficient support of the administration, and 1 wish we had in both houses of Congress some real good old-fashioned American boss to whip the party into line and make it 5o right along. (Applause.) All bosses are corrupt—they can't help it. They can’'t win without it. They naver have and never will. It is not so much the way you win a fight as the way you behave your- self after the fight js won. I felt that in Mayor Schmitz's campaign there were a great many things I did not approve, but when the Mayor got his seat and conducted himself in the manly and straightforward spirit by which he has won so many encomjums from men of alt sorts and creeds 1 would ba will- ing to accept him for a boss. I wouldn't care, Mr. Mayor, if you would accept that position, if you would cram the ballot box. to carry the primaries. 1 wouldn't care it you programmed every man who came in. T know you will pro- gramme him right, and when you lay down the law for him if he doesn’t go right you will ra- move him—or you will try to. SHOULD MEET FREQUENTLY. I wish to say in conclusion that meetings like this are most delightful and we should have more of them. This club ought not to assemble as infrequently as {t does. Its power and its influence ought to be more felt. It Is full of strong men and good men, whose in- fluence and power ought to be felt in ¢his com- munity and in the party for good, and We ean cnly do it by standing together and submitting to the will and common sense of the party as it is expressed In its convention and going like men when election day comes and voting the ticket. I want to say here for the benefit of the guests that the worse Republican I ever saw is better than the best Democrat. (Laugh- ter) And so in this coming campaign, what= ever may be our individual preferences, whenever the common sense of the party in convention assembled shall have de- termined what is best for the party, this club, Iike every other bodv. of sen- sible and patriotic men, should have mo kick- ers and no knockers. I think that is one thing_in_which this State needs cuitivation. You don’t find it so anywhere eise. .You let & man go from an Eastern State to Comgress and_make himself of use there and they kevp him there. But you send a man to Congress from this State and he has to keep one sys on the speaker and the other over his shoulders and his ears laid back flat on his head to ses who is working to throw him out in California. Tt is wrong to do that. If you have good men there keep them there. T give you as the closing sentiment the name of this club—a league for the union of goed men, of sound principles, of faith and honesty of man and respect for God.
