Mr. Symmes welcomed the visitors in { a speech fillled with warmth and good feeling, which was received with ex- pressions of delight by the guests. Professor Moses next spoke at length about the existing relations of the two countries, or, rather, of the connection between the United States and the Philippine Islands. Great good could (\nlié' be the result of the alliance, he said. He was sure that the intelligent Fili- pinc knew this to be the state of af- fairs, and he was glad to see that so many representative Filipino gentlemen | had come across the Pacific to see what America was like. He knew they would be proud when they looked upon the States could manner in* which the United | was governed, and when they | see that every man under the | and Stripes had a voice, and could con- | tribute to the ruling of the affairs of the nation. The more they saw of | America the more they swould be im- pressed with what the American Gov- ernment means. STRIKING ADDRESS. The first Filipino speaker was the Hon. Trinidad H. P. de Tavera, who | responded to the toast, “Our Guests.” He spoke as follows, the Hon. Arthur 1 W.

United States Senator George C. Per- kins spoke at length upon. the early conditions of California and of the great transition that had taken place | in the State. Originally a Spanish do- main and filled more or less with peo- | ple of untutored habits and nature it had now grown to be one of the grand- | est States in the whole Union. It was regarded as such throughout the world. It is the nearest State and the open seaboard to the Philippine Iglands. The whole Philippine Islands will certainly within a few years see the greatness and grandeur of the Government that is ruled by the stars and stripes. This commission, formed of the highest gen- tlemen of the Philippines, has come | here that the members could see for themselves the greatmess of our form of government. Every man had a chance to take an interest in the gov- ernment of the country. As a Califor- nian he welcomed them-to the State, as Ldid every other American citizen. ! Following Senator Perkins, the Hon. Victorino Mapa, Associzte Judge of the Supreme Court of the Philippine Isl- | {ands, said: i “Toastmaster and Illustrious Califor- | nians: Upon reaching the shores nfi your bay two feelings strove for mas- tery, the feeling of admiration for tle | greatness of the work you have wrought on the shores of this bay, when {1 think that fifty years ago there was | nothing here but a puebla of a few houses, and the feeling of gratitude for the hospitable welcome extended to the commission. The feeling of admiration | {has caused me to think of the great smallness of the Philippine Islands when compared with the grandeur of | the United States, as referring to the material side of the question; the sec- ond, the sentimental gratitude of the Filipinos. “We do not have to make a trip to San Francisco to learn of the hospi- tality of Americans, and particularly the streak was located is owned by Stanley Kuzek.

Among many, I shall limit myself to men- tioning one illustrious Californian absent .in the Philippines who, after finishing his term as military Governor of Negros, after having prevented the insurrection rife in Panay from spread- ing to Negros, had to exercise his au- thority to prevent the people of Negros from gratefully retaining him there by . force. “I refer to General Smith, who later was appointed Collector of Customs of the Philippines and subsequentiy As- sociate Judge of the Supreme Court at the same time I was appointed. The commercial and penal code of the inos had (o be changed at the time the United States assumed charge and, although this invoived the greatest labor and work, the Commissioners worked diligently and kindly and re- tained all the good points of the old code. You can hardly imagine the labor of digesting the Spanish juris- prudence and formulating the new legislation of the Philippines. The great power of the United States, which is not only great enough to conquer the Philippines, but a nation three or four times as large, was not needed after our people had met the kindness of the civil authorities as represented in your best men. “They worked with a_conscientious- | ness that impressed vs. The sword may make slaves, but never friends, and we were conquered not, by the sword, but | by reason.

He said he was glad to be in America and was amazed at the size and grandeur of San Francisco. He only voiced the sentiments of his col- leagues. The closing speech was made by Commissioner A. W.

APPROVE COMMITTEE. The personnel of the committes meets with the hearty approval of the _ an Francisco as ex: pressed by the members of the Union League and kindred organizations. The question of chairman will be tak- en up when the committee meets dur- ing the week and as there is consider- able honer to be accredited to the man who is at the head of the Repub- lican campaign in California when this State casts the party vote for Presidential electors, there will be a friendly contest for the honor. At the present time General George Stone of San Francisco and Thomas Flint Jr. of San Benito are the prin cipal aspirants for the position. Mem- bers of the committee decline, at this time, to state any preference, prede: ring to leave the matter to the con- sideration of the committee when it assembles. Inasmuch as the committee has no authorized d at present, Jacob Steppacher, secretary of the orggniza- tion, will call the meeting to order and ask for nominations for permanent chairman. That meeting will deter- mine who will have the honor of di- recting the campaign of Theodore Roosevelt in the State of California in 1904. There is more or less discussion in the Republican ranks as to the place of meeting for the August convention. Sacramento is anxious for the gather- ing, but the claims of Santa Cruz as a_ convention city are deemed prefer- able by those who have attended con- . ventians in both places. Among the leaders of the rank and file the senti- ment is in favor of Santa Cruz and that city is likely to get the Republi- can State Convention in August. McKINLAY FOR CONGRE: The First Congressional Distriet, which is overwhelmingly Republican, has practically declared for Duncan McKinlay as the Congressional candl- date from that district. That distriet is Mr. McKinlay’s old home. There he delivered his first speeches for the Re- publican ticket and won recognitias by national leaders as a man whose services on the stump were valuable to the party. According to his for- mer neighbors Sonoma County will send a solid delegation to the conven- tion pledged to secure his nomination as the Republican candidate for Con- gress. Current rumor has had it for several days that Senator Perkins was pro- claiming for the re-election of Senator Bard. The senior Senator, however, says it would be unbecoming for him to express any preference at this time. When asked regarding the rumor he said: “I have not expressed any opinion about the re-election of Senator Bard and it would be improper for me to do so at this time. I have said that I found him able and considerate and a colleague whom I admired, but as te saying anything about his re-election T certainly did not nor would I at this time. It Is entirely too soon to talk of such matters, even if I wanted to, and 1 can pesitively state that I have not expressed an opinion regarding -the matter. I do not know who my col- league will be and it would be very unbscoming for me, at this time, to give any expression of preference. ———————————— Californians in London. pecial Cable to The Call and New York Her- ald.
