CHICAGO , Feb. 12. The annlvcrfary ot
the birth of Abraham Lincoln was gener
ally observed hero today by exercises In the
schools and by various banquets. The prin
cipal banquet of the evening , however , wao
the twelfth annual affair of the Marquctto
club , which was held at the Auditorium
hotol. Fully COO members of the club wore
present and the speeches In reply to the
toasts were received with great applause.
Ex-President Harrison waa the speaker of
the evening and his address on "Abraham
Lincoln" was received with enthusiastic
manifestations ot approval.
President I' . 0. Pauldlng of the Mar-
Hiiotto club opened the exercises with a
brief adJriss and then Introduced Congress
man Dontcllc ot llllnoln , who spoke on
"Chicago A Political Storm Center. "
Congnr.sman Iloulello was followed by
ox-1'rosldent Harrhqn , who spoke as fol
lows ;
The observation ot the birthday of Abra
ham Lincoln , which has become now so
widely established , either by public law or
by general custom , will more nnd moro
iforco the orators of these occasions to do-
Irtirt from the line of biography nnd Inci
dent nnd oulogj , nnd assume the duty of
applying to pending public questions the
principle Illustrated In the llfo and tntight
in the public utteriinccs of the mini whoso
hhth v\o commemorate.
Anil after nil we nmy bo sure that the
Kirnt slinplc-lipnitod patriot would have
wished It so Flattery did not Hooth the
living < ? ar or Lincoln. He was not unnp-
ireclatlvo of friendship , not without nm-
liltlon to hi * csttemod , but the overmaster
ing nnd dominant thought of his life waste
to bo useful to his country and to his
country-nun.
HORN IN A CABIN.
No college of arts had been opened to
IIH | struggling youth. He had been burn In
n tahln nnd tcaied among the unletteiid.
Ho was n rnll-Hplllttr , a ( Intboatm.m. n
country lavvyt-i , yet , In all these- conditions
nnd associations , ho vvns a leailin at the
mil upllttlnir. In the rapids , at the Inr. In
Htory telling , In the broad common sensu
\vny In which he did small things he was
liiU'oi than any situation In which life had
placi d him. P.uropo did not know him. To
the yout'i ' , and to not a few in the north-
r n Htatos , ho was an uncouth Jester , an
ambitious upstart , a reckless disturber. He
\vas holed by the .south , not only for bis
principled , but for himself The son of the
cavalier , the irrm who foil toll to bo a
stain , despised tils son of the people , this
child nf toll
He was distinguished from the abolition
le iclora by the. fairness and kind Iness with
which he judged the south and the slave
holder lie vv is opposed to human slavery ,
not becamip some in i ° tcrs were cruel , but
upon rni'ons tint kindness to the .slave did
iiu.t answer. "All men" Included the black
nun Liberty 13 the law of nature. The.
liumaii enactment cannot > nass thu limits
of the state , God' law embraces creation.
iMr. Lincoln had faith In time , nnd time
lias Justified his faith. If the panoiami. ot
the years from ISCt ti > iwr could have been
unrolled before the eves of bis countrymen ,
would they have biilO waild he luue said
that he was adequate for the great occa
sion ? And yet. as ive look bick over the
. > tory of the civil war , he Is revca'od ' to us ,
s' indliig above all men of that epoch , In bis
npaelty nnd adaptation to the duties of the
jnosldency.
Mr Lincoln loved the "plain people. " out
of vvho--e ranks be came ; but not with a
class love. He never jnndcred to Ignorance
or Bought applause by appeals to prejudice.
The cqu.illtv of men In rights nnd bunions ;
justice to all. a. government by all the peo-
lle , for all the people , was his thought no
favoritism In enactment or admlnlstiatlou
the general Kood.
Ho had the love of the nns'es and be IN on
It fairly ; not by art or trick. Ho could
therefore admonish nnd restrain wMi au
thority. He was a man who could .speak to
all men nnd be he ml. Wou'd there were
more uch. There Is great need of men
IIOA who can be heard both In the directors.
mretliiK and In the labor assembly.
Qualities of heatt and mind combined to
imako u man who lias won the love of man
kind Ho Is beloved. Ho stands like a great
llirhthouso to sha.v the way of duty to all
bis countrymen and to send afar a be-nn
of couniKo to tlio = e who belt against the
-Hinds. Wo do him reverence. Wo bless to
night the mcmoiy of Lincoln.
Follow Infi Mr. Harrison came Justice
David J. Ilrewer of the United Stales su
preme court , who spoke eloquently on "The
Nation's Anchor , " the court of which ho Is
a member.
SPEECH DY GAGn.
Ho was followed by Lyman J. Gage , sec
retary of the treasury , who spoke as fol
lows on "Government and Finance "
On nn occasion where patriotic sentiments
nre given the place ot hoiur , where the
preconceived purpose Is to indulge In letro-
Hpectlon of a noble llfo and its heroic deeds ,
the Introduction of a themn as cold and
commonplace ns Is that which you have
allotted to mo strikes the mind In Its Hist
Impressions IIH u false note In an otherwise
beautiful strain of music. On second
thought , however , It will be perceived that
in the great patriotic struggle which en-
rraped thu heart and brain of Lincoln this
question ot "Government Finances" was a
( iucstlon not less dllilcult , not less perplex-
IIIK , than those other primal questions
which burdtii'd him with their Inconcelv.i-
H was qulchly recognized by the Hew
president that the three elements necessary
to be combined for a successful tosult to
any war weru aimles , ships nnd the power
of cti'dlt. These thieo elements are na
necessary now as they weie then , nnd , un
til human nature Is transformed they will
lie equally iiccessn-y In the future How
could theno be combined , co-otdlnated , each
HlipplemuntlMK In pioper time and place the
other ? This was thu problem forced upon
that comparatively oUicuro man of the people
ple , who went to bis task with the sim
plicity of jjood will for all men. a man who
loved peace nnd hated wnr. Was over man
burdened like this man ? Yes. one other ,
in the bit th throes of the republic there was
another , broadly like him. like htm In un-
pelllsh devotion to liberty , cnpiblo of all
Haeilllco , patient and hopeful where others
dewpilred , fico from guile nnd evil umbl-
tlons. In Kiateful remembrance of them
both thn w 01 Id apeaks In onu breath the
names of Washington nnd Lincoln.
Untrained In finance , within a period of
four years Mr , Lincoln was to provide the
means for an expenditure greater than the
total expenditures from the public treasury
lining HH whole previous history of seventy
yeais. No wonder tint , under the awful
pressure of events , with discordant voices
loud In conlllctlnjf advice , bo should have
once exclaimed : " 1 am worsti off than St.
I'aul He was In strait betwixt two , I am
In straits betwixt twenty , "
Happily , ut the outbreak of the war there
was no national debt worlli mentioning No
immediate provision bad to bo ninile for
the payment of goods already had and con
sumed. If distrust existed ns to the ability
of the treasury that distrust did not rulato
to u then prcbent situation , but waa born
out of doobti nnd fears p nctrnliifr ft future
ovtr whlfh the dnrk clouds of uncertainty
were KathcrlnB with nn ever-Increasing
menace.
Looking backward now to that dark
period It is refre hlnff to rcmemb r that
nt the first snip of Rovcrr-nT-nt bond * , oc-
currlnp. as It did , after thn dcpres ln ? fact
of tht llr t battle of Hull llun , Jl.'fl.tW.W ) of
these securities were subscribed for nt pir
and paid for In Bold by the nsocUtcd banks
of New York , I'hlladelphln nnd lloston. The
gradual degeneracy of the national credit
was marked by a falling oft In realization
to the treasury from par In sold upon Us
bond Issueto a price realizing hardly 40
cent * on the dollar. That the Is
sue ot legal tender notes , soon Ir
redeemable In coin by the govern
ment , and further discredited by being
refused In exchange at the will of the holder
for Interest bearltiK obligations , was n con
tributing acency to the great decline Is
now acre denied Whether or nH they were
an Indispensable Incident to tie tlnamlal
needs of the government In stilt an un
settled debate. As the war progressed and
the country became poorer this currency
Increased , giving new Instruments nnd fa
cilities to expend Just In proportion an the
means of payment wpro consumed
WAU DUUT IS APPALLINO.
When the war was over the debt of our
government , na then known , amounted to
the npirilllnff sum of * 2.84I.COOOC < ) Of this
amount $411.000.000 wan payable on demand.
The annual Interest charge was $ I2o.OOOCOO.
The means secured by this great debt were
not nlono aulllclent for the wnr expendi
tures. The revenues of the Rove-rnment had
been Incienscct by taxation upon everything
that could bo mode to yield revenue. The
Income of theticasury from oil sources In
the year ISOU was J" > S,000,000.
The disbanding of thp army , the reduc
tion of the navy nnd discontinuance of the
Krent ncml-mllltniy , scmt-clvll adjuncts to
both relieved almost at once the embmuHs-
mcnt of the treasury , or rather , tbp source
of embarrassment was reversed Hitherto
there had been Inadcquae-y , now there was
redundancy During the yean 1SCS to IST9
there was a surplus revenue over expendi
tures of $075jO,000. . It was applied sub
stantially to the icductlon of the Intercut
bearlnt ; de-bt. Coin was accumulated to the
extent of J93000.W.O bv the silo of bonds
preparatory to the icdemptlon of the de
mand debt. In 1STD the hour of test had
come. Would the government bo able to
icdecm Its notes In gold ? Hail the credit
of the government become fully restored ?
A nation waited for the fateful day of
January 1. 1S79 , which many had prophesied
would end In shame and humiliation. That
day witnessed a triumph , peaceful In kind ,
but scarcely less dstcrmlnatlvo than vlc-
totles In the Held.
THOUGHT IT A DANGRnOUS AGENCY.
Thp expectation existed that redemption
meant a retirement , at least n gradual ic-
tlrement , of the demand obligations States
men with scaicely an exception , while sup-
pot tlni ; tbeli Issue , depipcited the seem-
luj ? necessity and plead for the narrowest
and briefest use of the dangerous ( money.
Why were thcso notes not retired ? 15y
what stiange witchery of the Imagination
has It come about that the ; , are widely re-
g.iuled , not as evidences of an unpaid debt
but ns money Itself ? Tint has happened
which Mr. Stunner foreboded when , speak-
Ins of such forms of government Issues , he
said. 'The medicine of thu constitution
must not become Its dally btead. "
We have seen that at the beginning of the
mar , with a bulking system hcterogenoiH ,
unrelated by any common laws or rules of
action > et 'with these dlsnbllltleq the asso
ciated banks bad advanced $ r > 0,000,000 In gold
to the goeminent without cttd.ingp.iinH
specie payments Indeed , the record hhows
th.it so rapid were the government's dls-
buropmentH and so stionur the clrctilitlng
current , that with the pi > input of Sl.'iO.COO-
003 completed , the gold reserve , of the bunks
had been depleted only S7.0CO 000
Wo have reen that the. Interjection of
government notes Into the Held of circula
tion excii'Mlilo as It may b wo been
crovvdpxl bank note Ksues b ick for redemp
tion , Illicit b ink vaults with government
notes In place of specie and led to the sus
pension of specie paymentsby both the
banks and the government. Viewed from
thn present point of time thcio Is a consensus
of the best opinion that had there then ex
isted a banking system uniform In Its gen
eral features , operative In all the states , the
deranging Influence of government notes
would not have appcirod ; tliatpeclo pay
ments would have been m lint.lined ; that
prices of commodities vvou'd liave remained
not far from a normal standard ; that the
suddeji fortunes won from legitimate indus
try by speculative craft and cunning would
not have appeared In dflllng ; mockery of a
nation's distress ; that hundreds of million' ' ?
lost through depreciation of goveminent
notes would have been saved to the people.
TEACHINGS OF HxpniunNcn.
If this bo true or npptoxlmitp-ly trup. the
Inquiry may be repeated. Why , out of the
Inflowing mirplus. Were not the.Je notes , as
the most dangerous part of the war debt ,
retlied vincl cince.led. ! ' Was It considered ,
Is It now considered , that cur war b inner. *
have been forever fulled ? Hosting as we
may In a sense of secuilty as to peieo at
home , have all the nations given us s itls-
factory pledges ngalnn unjust aggression. *
from without ? Why do we build war ships
and spend millions In coast defenses and
maintain an army ? i\perlence-bltter ,
costly , humiliating e tperlence has taught
us that behind the army and the1 navy must
be a strongly Intrenched treasiny and an
unquestioned public credit. A lloatlng debt ,
pa > able on demand , Is an element of weak
ness. It Is the very opposite of wtrengtb.
In pointing out the dangers of government
paper money. Secretary Chase emphasized
"Thr ever-present liability to be called on
for redemption beyond the means of pay
ment , however carefully provided and man
aged ; the hazard of panle precipitating de
mands for coin , concentrated on a few
points nnd a single fund. "
It requlresjmt little relle-ctloti to convince
the mind that this danger to i.vhlch for
many years wo hnvo been exposed would be
ieali7cd to Its fullest extent In the Initial
movement of a great war. In such a move
ment the folly of our present situation
would he fully revealed. The Immunities of
peace cannot be accepted as safe conditions
against the contingencies of war It Is this
which Justifies navies and coist defenses. It
Is this which not only liistlfles. but dem inds
that In Its lln'inces the government f-hall
pursue that policy which shall be safe , not
only In a time of peace , yet one FO guaided
and protected that no surprise can throw it
In confusion a policy which will always bo
able to reinforce the armv and thn navy
with the suppoi ting power of an Imprognab'e
credit.
Great applause greeted Bishop Potter of
New York when ho arose to deliver an ad
dress on "Tho Humor of Lincoln. " The
reverend gentleman told many anecdotes of
Lli-coln In a most happy manner and con
tributed greatly to the enjoyment of the
evening ,
The other addresses of the evening were

Ohio , who responded to "nducatlon and the

Nrcnns or TUB NAVY.
Theodore Hoosovelt waa , thp next speaker.
Ho said :
When I speak of the United States navy
I do not mean to make a tncro pirty specc'i ,
for when vvo roach the water line we get
beyond the domain of pirty. In preparing
to face a foreign fee ail Americans should
Htnrnl alike.
Fifteen years npo , we had no standing
whatever among naval nations. Now our
navy has been built up until It can fairly
claim to be at about n tic with that of
Germany for llftb place. It Is by no nu-ins
ns largo as It should be , and to Ho supine
and let other nations pass us when we
htivo made so good a start would bo ono
of those blunders which nre worse than
crime.
In the fate ot China today the shrill ad
vocates of Intelligent pcacofulne'-s siould
see u grim object lesson , especially titled
to tc.ich them , If tflcy are capible of learn
ing , that unless we are prepared some day
to share this file ( and Ions before tint
day to suffer humlll.ttlon ami Insult , which
would make every high-minded American
hung his head with shame , and for which
no business prosperity could atone ) , \ve must
be ready In time of need to do as our fore
fathers luue .ilvvuys done , nnd show that
wo are ready and able to appe il to the
ultimate arbitrament ot the sword.
t'nless we aio fulso to every tradition of
the Amerlcin foreign policy we must con
tinue to uphold the Monroe doctrine , but It
would be bolter to burrcnder the Monroe
doctrine outright than to disci edit our
selves and make ourselves the laughing
stock ot the world by loud-lip loyalty to
It , while we nevertheless , decline to take any
slop vv hlch would make good our preten
sions.
The worst offenders against the honor and
dignity of America In foreign affairs aie
those who loudl > proclaim a desire to en
tangle us In foreign dltllcultles , but who
refuse to help in.iKe ready the forces by
which our pretensions would be made good.
If we have a gtf.it Hghllng lleet. a licet
capable of offensive no less than defensive
woik. there will be small chance that our
people will be foiced to light , and still
smaller clnnce that vvo will not emerge
from any war Immeasurably the gainer In
honor and renown.
It was almost midnight when Congress

WASHINGTON. Feb. 12. The policy ot the
administration concerning the Do Lome In
cident can bo stated briefly and definitely
anil on authority not open to question as
follows The president Is awaiting the full
report of United States Minister Woodford ,
who , In the brief report already made , stated
that fuller details will be forwarded. So far
ns the personal allusions of the late minister
to the prcs dent ore concerned , the Incident
Is undoubtedly closed , N'o demand has been ,
or will be , made , according to the present
Intentions , for a disavowal ot them , though
should It bo made It would bo regarded an
a graceful act.
But the Inferences In the letter which
bring In question Spain's good faith on ques
tions ot reciprocity , and Infcrentlally au
tonomy for Cuba , It not disavowed volun
tarily , miy become the subject of further
diplomatic correspondence , though ns to this
matter , ns has been stated heretofore , the
president will await Minister Woodforl's
fuller advices before anything Is decided
upon. This feature ot the cx-mlulstcr's let
ter Is entirely disassociated from the personal
aspect which rcstiltol In his retirement. It
Is confidently expected by this government
that Spaln > jwlll take early opportunity to
disavow thoatitcmetits of Its late representa
tives so far as they tend to commit Spain to
n policy which leaves Its good faith open to
serious doubt. It Is felt to .bo most desirable
that this government should have no doubt
as to ( Spain's real purposes and feelings on
those vital quest.ons which have been sub
jects of negotiation , or are likely to become
such , In the Immediate future.
Up to half past 1 o'clock this morning
Minister Woodford bad not yet forwarded
the full report ot the Interviews had by him
with the Spanish foreign olllcc.
MINISTRY MAT BE IN IGNORANCE.
A point that may be ot Importance * Kn con
sidering the act of the Spanish government
In accepting the resignation of the minister
without disclaiming responsibility for any
of the utterances containing In this letter
has been broached. The Spanish govern
ment , It Is eald , may not be aware of ( ho
contents of the letter. There Is reason to
bclievo that when It acted upon Mr. do
Lome's resignation , If Indeed not up to the
present moment , the Spanish foreign ofllco
did not have before It the full text of the
letter and may have acted on the assump
tion that fie document contained only per
sona ! criticisms upon the president. In this
case the statements respecting the autonomy
and icclprocity measures , which It appears
are regarded as of greater importance than
the poisonar criticisms passed by the minis
ter upon the president , may not have been
known to the Spanish government. The fact
thiit Senor Canalejas , the person addressed
by the minister , who Is now In Madild , IP
said to have declared to the government that
ho never received the letter , would warrant
such an assumption , unless the cable has
been freely used by the Spanish legation
heie , for this government has not cabled the
letter.
At the Spanish legation affairs have as
sumed a normal condition , Senor du DoVje
la In charge. Ho did not go to the State
department this morning. This afternoon he
m ide calls on the foreign representatives ,
thus fulfilling a social and an ofllcial duty by
which the net of his assuming charge of
the post Is made Inovvn to them ,
Senor do Lome Is busy winding up his
affairs and preparing for departure. The
time of leaving has not been set. Mmo.
do Lome Is directing the unexpectedly haaty
woik of packing , and reports of her being
prostrated by the recent occurrence are
groundless.
No Intimation has come to anyone nt
the legation as to the new minister. The
.several names mentioned Ir. the newspapers
nre well known , but all comment Is re
garded as purely conjectural.

stormy passage from Key West to Havana
It loft Key West Friday morning with stores
for the Maine. The boat pitched heavily In
n fearful sea. It slowed at 1 o'clock in

tioned forward , was washed overboard by n
heavy Eca. He held to the llfo line ns ho was

but It was bwamped In lowering and the

The Gushing finally obcjed Its helm and
swung around nnd maneuvered near the men
In the water. Atkins , Coppage and Everett

rldgo was taken on board In the same man
ner , Atkins fastening the line to him.
