CHEERING THOUSANDS WELCOME - THE NATION'S ACOMA, Wash., May 22.—Under a favoring blue sky, the President's train rolled into the Northern Pa- cific depot promptly at 4 o'clock this afternoon. A multitude thronged the streets about the station and rent the air with cheers. b Mayor Cammbell entered the car and welcomed the President. Little time was lost in the official reception. While the futroductions to the committee were be- ing made the guns of the revenue cut- ter MeCulloch, lying in the harbor, gave a salute of twenty-one guus. As the President emerged from the canopy of flags at the station and en- tered the carriage, accompanied by Gov- ernor McBride, Mayor Campbell and Sec- reiary Loeb, the crowd broke into cheers, which the President promptly acknowl- eaged. Fifteen carriages swung into line, while an escert of mounted police and cavalry tormed a guard of honor. At Division avenue the escort of the Grand Army of the Republic and Spanish- American Veterans dropped out of the rarade and the President was given a rige through the residence section, pass- & many of the public school buildings, where the children were grouped, and gave him an enthusiastic reception. All the business and residence streets were profusely decorated with flags and fes- tocns. Pictures of the President were to be seen on all sides. The streets were packed with enthusiastic people and the | Cemonstrations kept the President busy bcwing his acknowledgments. Aside from the Presidential party, the cdistinguished guests in carriages in- ciudéd, among others, Senator A. G. Fos- and Senator Levi Ankeny of Washing- ton, Senator Mitchell of Oregon, Con- gressmen Cushman, Jones and | Humphrey 3 hington; Brigadier General Funs: ton, Captain Bleker, commandant of the naval station at Bremerton; President C. S. Mellen of the Northern Pacific; Cap- in Bostwick, U. 8. N.; Captain Coulson, commander of the revenue cutter MeCul- lech, and a number of Mayors of neigh- Loring cities. i BRILLIANT SCENE AT PARK. While the drive about the city was in progress the crowd thronged Wright Park, where the President was to address the people. About the grand stand were massed the Grand Army of the Republic { and the Spanish-American Veterans, while a cordon of police kept the way clear. To the beautifal attractions of the park had been added the embellishments of lavish decorations of flags, bunting and The bright columns of women and children and the vivid green of the shrubbery combined to make a brilliant scene of life and color. Wild cheers and college yells burst forth as the President stepped upon the He bowed and took his seat in ed to him. He noticed the card and ex- pressed his admiration to Secretary Loeb. Without delay Mayor Campbell stepped forward and introduced the President, who was again greeted with a burst of cheering, which he smilingly acknowl- Looking down at the Spanish- American Veterans the President said he understood a man who was in his regi- ment in Cuba was on the grounds, and be invited him to come up on the plat- form. Mayor Campbell presented Otto Winter, who was a Texas trooper in the Cuban campaign. The President shook his hand cordially and said: “Were you with the Texans? Well, I'm awfully glad to see How are you getting along?" Then he asked the committee as a per- l&onal favor that Winter be allowed to ac- company the party on the steamer to- morrow on" the ride on the Sound. The President’s friendly remarks to the Grand Army mén and the Spanish-American Veterans were particularly pleasing inci- dents at the park. GREETS THE ARMY VETERANS. His address at the park was received with frequent shouts of approval and ap- plause. He spoke as follows: Mr. Mayor and You, My Fellow-citizens: It is the greatest pleasure to me to have come this morning through the southwestern part of { this great and beautiful State and now to kave seen your beautiful city here on Puget Souna. (Applause.) T wish to express my acknowledgments to the men of the Grand Army and to my com- rades of the Spanish war (applause) for hav- ing come out to greet me. I also wish to ex- press a particular word of greeting to the dele- gates of the State Sunday-school Convention Who have come here to-day and to say how glad 1 am to see them. (Applause.) Pleased though .1 am to see this marvelous material prosperity in which the State of Washington 50 abundantly rejoices, I am even more pleascd to see the evidences in every city through which 1 pass of the resolute purpose to bulid up that material well-being, the higher life without which prosperity by itself can have no durable basis. (Applause.) I believe in your people, in my people, be- cause I believe that they have in them not only the power to win success in actual af- fairs, to build great cities, to turn the wilder- ness into a smiling garden, to build commerce and factories, but because I think they have also power upon which that is a basis to raise a structure of citizenship based upon decency, upon clean living and high thinking, upon the virtues that make mgn good neighbors, good husbands, and fathefs and good citizens in their_relation alike to the State and nation. (Applause.) T wish to say one word this afternoon to you here in this city of destiny, in this city by the sound, on our foreign policy and upon what must ever be the main prop of any good forelgn policy—the American navy. In_the old days when I first came to the Little Mrs- sourl’ there was a motto on the range, ‘Never draw unless you mean to shoot.”” 'That is pretty sound policy for a nation in foreign affairs. (Applause.) Do not threaten, do not bluster, do not insult other people above ail, but when you make up your mind that the situation is such as to require you to take a given position, take it (applause) and have it definitely understood that what you say you are ready to make good. (Applause.) AMERICA’S GREAT PART. I earnestly believe, and, of course, I hope with all my heart, that there will always be peace between the United States and other powers, but I wish that peace to come to us ot as & favor granted in contempt, but to be the kind of peace that comes to the just man armed (applause)—the peace that we can Claim as a matter of right. Of course, it is {he merest truism to say that the best way to Kkeep peace i to show that you are not afraid of war it unjustly treated or wronged. The events of the last few years have shown that whether we wish or not we must play a great part in the world. It is mot open to decide Whether or not we will play it. All that is open to us to decide is Whether or not we will play i well, and I know my countrymen too thorotighly to have any doubt as to what their answer will be. (Applause.) You men of the great Civil War fought to Kkeep us a nation, to make us really one natiop. You fought the greatest war of the kind; and because you dared to fight for four yvears you have forever insured internal peace for the re- public. (Applause.) Peace came to us for all time because you dared to fight; and the people who in your day called for peace at any price, it they had had their way, would have doomed us to generations of struggle, to generations of war. So you, my comrades of the army and the nawy in 08 and the years Jowing, hy what you did you gi an_assured position such as it could ha wi (Applause.

NEEDS OF OUR NAVY. The surest guaranty of peace is an adequate navy. The best possible assurance against war 5 is an adequate navy. 1 ask for a navy primari- | Iy because it'is the surest means of keepins | peace; and also because, if war does com surely there can be no American who will tole ate the idea of its having anythige other than a successful issue. (Applause.) In the fighting | in Manila and Santiago in 1808, in which such ships as the Olympia and the Oregon. named here from the Northwestern coast, did their part, what controlled the issue of those fights— what was done at the moment? No, the prepa- ration that had been made in advance. The ships that won the victories of Manila and San- tiago had been built years before, when there was no thought and could have been na theught of war with Spain. In 1883 we had a navy composed 6f antiquated war craft, as unfit to 80 against a modern battleship as the galleys in_which Rome and Carthage fought for mas- tery of the Mediterranean. If at any time we had been put in such a position as we were in | 1898, bitter humiliation would have been in store for us. before we eventually won, for, mind you, T think we would eventually win | anyhow. '(Applause.) But 1 do not want to s a generation of-humiliation precede the viet We won because we prepared in advance. We bullt the ships and omy,h,‘n»})h‘. ship yards, created the armor plants, creatfd the gun foun- | rles, and we made ships whiéh in hulls, guns and engines need to fear no comparison with thoge of any other power; and then put the men | & on them and trained the men to do their part in battle. The only shots that count are the shots that hit. I believe in marksmanship ashore and in marksmanship afloat. You and | I, my comrades, who fought ashore, had a sim- pler task in learning how to handle our weap- ons. Most of us knew something of the rifle in | advancg; if we did not, we had our times learn- Ing it. But get in a big ship, and any man who has been on one knows it is a mighty complicated and delicate bit of machiner: o | handie the guns in the gun trgets. 1 hand: the ah_lv itself needs the training of a special- | ist. You can take the best men alive and put | them upon one of our modern battleships, and. unless they have had eome training, the fact that they are the best men alive wiil n them. They have got to have the trainin Was because our officers and we Wwe not only won, but we won at a minimum of loss to ourselves and a maximum of dam- age to the enemy. (Applause.) CONGRESS DID ITS DUTY. 1t is a pleasant thing to come together ar congratulate ourselves upon the Rreat. deeds of the past. but that is not the way to prepare for great deeds in the future. In ‘61 the men of the Civil War won, not by attending Fourth | of July celebrations,” not by glorifying what had been done by the men of the revolutio but by turning In themselves to try to dis- tance the deeds of the revolution. This Is | how you did it, and we of the younger ge eration were heiped by your exampla, becau Wwe felt that what you had done did not e Clike us from effort, but required us to try to se level to the gri is of - oo lew great deeds of the past. (Ap 1 ask that you, the sovereigns of the cou you, the s s country (for you are ‘the soversigns and therefore you are not to be excused if you da not exercise your soverelgnty aright) see to it that the work of preparing the navy in time of peace goes on. The last Congress did its duty, no more than fts duty, by going on with the building up of the navy; and see to it that the ne Congress ends with a record as good. If w stop we go back. The only way to do in build Ing up the navy is to keep on with it, to pro- vide the ships and to provide that they shail be the best of their kind, and then to provide for the men on them, and for training them | at the great guns and in sea practice, which | | will make them in their tu of | kind; and I believe, Ol dfl":o!lh:ln!:l“h) 'h:):::r but I belfeve that the American fighting man, it vou will give him a chance, is at least as £00d as any one else; that the man on our =hips, in our armies, will do everything that we can possibly demand of him If we give him the chance, and because he Is such a %ood man I ask that you give him the chance, It has been a great and a real pleasure to | sce you. (Cheers and applause.) | On leaving the park the Masonic Grand | Lodge of Washington, together with the Grand Commandery, Knights Templar, and the commanderies of Tacoma and Seattle, 30 swords in line, escorted the | President to the site of the Masonic Tem ple, where the President laid the corner. stone. When the President stepped down from the platform to lay the cornerstone he | shook hands with the Mason who handed him the trowel and as the President be- | gan to spread the cement some one asked: ‘“Are you a unfon man?” The President quickly replied: “Whys I'm working overtime on this,” which raised a great laugh. ‘ LAYS A CORNERSTONE. { The President was presented by the Grand Lodge with a silver trowel in an ebony case as a souvenir of the oceasion. A thousand Masons and Templars par- ticipated in the Impressive ceremonies. The President made a few remarks, say- ing: Brothers: 1 shall say but one word. Tt has been a great ‘pleasure to me to take part in the laying of this cornerstone; and I trust| that the building erected thereupen will be in | very deed as well as in name devoted to friend- ship and virtue and all of those purposes which | we hold dear. T ask.that each man here so | conducte himself that the principles which we | profess may be real and vitalizing influences in our lives, In our relations with one another and with the outside world. (Cheers and ap- plause.) t the conclusion of the ceremonies the ident, amid great cheering, re-entered | his carriage and was conveyed to the Tacoma Hotel.
