Many men dropping out sick were left at various towns lylthout adequate supplies and attendance , some of them making Iheir way back across the lorrlble roads. A number of horses were dying and many of the soldiers and even some of the ofllccra were marching on , halt naked , their clothes having been torn to pieces In getting through the Jungles. Some of them were reduced almost to brcechclouts and hundreds wcro barefooted , their shoes being worn out , and all were living on any sort of provisions , Dread > van rare and caribou meat and ba nanas were the staples. General Lawton foresaw thnt the cam paign would Involve such hardships , but he considered It the quickest and cheapest way o ending the war. The last number of the Indepondencta , published at Tarlac , the day bcforo the Americans entered the place , contains n despondent valedictory entitled "Adleul" The tone of the article showed that the writer considered the game played out.

The. one hundred and tMrty-flrst banquet of the Chamber of Commerce was held nt Delmonlco's tonight , and brought together representative business men of Now York. There waa also a number of distinguished guests , Including Governor Roosevelt , Senator Platt , Chaunccy M. Dcpow , former Speaker Thomas B. Hoed , Whltolnw Hold , President Seth Low of Columbia university , President A. T. Had- ley of Yale university , Major General Wesley Mcrtltt and John Barrett , former minister to Slam. President Morris K. .Icsup pro nounced grace and the diners eat down to the inueIc of Scusa's "Hands Acrcss the Sea. " The members of the chamber present In cluded Henry W. Cannon , Ja'mes O. Cannon , Henry Clews , James M. Constable , John D. Crlmmlnp , Charles D. Flint , Edward Gould , Jacob H. Schlff , Henry Scllgmail , J. Edward Simmons , Isaac Stern and Frederick D. Tappen. Shortly before the speechmaklng began a party of men and women entered the email balcony overlooking the banquet hall. In the party was George Dewey , son of Admiral Dcwey. Hear Admiral Erben shook handa heartily with young Dcwey and asked for his father's health. Mr. Dewey did not at first want to admit his Identity to reporters. He finally , how ever , did. Ho declined to dlscura the trans fer to him of his father's Washington house. The Introductory remarks of President Jesup were brief. After congratulating tha members of the chamber upon the prosper ous condition of the country , he said : "I now ask you to fill your glasses and drink In silence to the toaet I will give. Wo have met with a national loss and I am sure our beloved president has met with an Individual loss and wcro ho here ho would ask you to drink to the toast that I shall now give you In silence : "The1 presi dent of the United States. " The toast was drunk standing. Next , President Jesup propcced a toast to Queen Victoria while the orchestra played "God Save the Queen. " Governor Roosevelt spoke to the toast , "Tho State of Now York. " His reception was most flattering. He said : I know you will pardon mo saying ono word before J speak to the tonst allotted to me , on u subject that Is close to the heart of every man hero tonight. I wish to I i any ono word nbout the statesman and the good citizen who has passed away. Vice President Hobart. Of him it should , bo said , what ought to bo the highest nm- bltlon of every decent man to have snld I of him , that he slngle-mindedly nnd dis interestedly did hl.s duty to the whole ! | country , entirely without any regard to any credit or glory accruing to himself. Mr. l Hobart occupied the very trying position of every one with great titular rank , whonev - thcless , was not supposed to have any active share In formulating- policy of the government and helping curry It through. What he did was done not by force of position , but by force of char acter , his rare tact , his rare commonsense - sense and the Impression of his sincerity i upon every man with whom he came in ' contact. In short , he had the quality of disinterestedness , the quality which moro . than any other ,1s needed in. a man who i had to do work of genuine worth for a nation. There Is nothing which Impressed ni < } ; imore'-i.n ' > deallnff with the.government i 1 of , this state In the last year than the nee'd of disinterestedness of men not In political llfo and in the next place the readiness v/lth which that service is ren dered. Heeil oil the Gold Stnitdnnl. The next speaker was Thomas B. Reed , former speaker of the house of represent atives. He was as warmly received as was ; ho governor. Ho responded to the toast of "Tho Gold Standard , " In part as follows : Now York is the acknowledged financial center of the great republic. While this po sition Is not without its Jealousies , yet it is a great power for good , which ought to be. exerted -for the benefit of the whole coun try. When , however , you go beyond your Immediate sphere in this great city you labor under great disadvantage , which , however , can be made less by knowing It. This disadvantage arises from the fact that you do not realize the Immense di vergence of opinion in this great country. Of course this is not a reproach , for the ablest men in New York , whoso very busi ness brines them In contact with vast en terprises which know no bounds except Canada , the gulf and the two oceans , do not appreciate this diversity of opinion. It , must bo because it Is the power of a few men to understand It. It Is a fact that you don't know and don't appreciate It. This country Is so largo that ft Is only In the central place , wncro the representatives from everywhere meet , that men can got a real idea of the features of the nation. The greatest struggle any statesman has today In any matter affecting the whole union IB to reconcile dlnerences of opinion wmcn are nonestiy entertained by men wlio are pursuing liberty and happiness in states thousands of miles apart. A law can easily be made which will fit New York state but will not suit cither Texas or Oregon. A law can easily be made under which In Massachusetls Ihero will be peace nnd In California a social overturn. When you undertake to adjust your laws to the whole forty-live states and do It by the procesres of party government you ought to be very much astonished If the law you can actually put on the statute books comes anywhere near within night of the law you dreamed of when you marled. Taken Time to Malic Wo have made many orations and de livered many speeches on the union ol Mates and they have been well made , but II will be useful for you , as practical men , to bear In mind.always that In a country 4,000 miles long and 3,000 miles wide , with only twenty-ono persons to each square mile , even the telegraph and the railroad cannot mix them up as they can be where 200 miles by 250 miles pums up the distance and there are 500 people on every square mlle Instead of twenty-one. All things , however , are ilnally settled by discussion and It takes a great deal of tlmo lo settle anything among a people HO widely scattered. But discussion docs ncttla nucs- lions In time and when they are settled they should be nailed 'down. .It Is no wonder the currency question has taken so long a timer to settle Itself , even to the fundamental basis. We have ap preached It from different points of view. Men In newly retried parts of the country have boon In a very different position from ours. Wo have been through the experi ences or a false currency and have estab lished ourselves at last on the basis taught by that suffering which ! renders experience the best educator. Wo have our records and lo pot wish toImvp history repent Itself. The men In the new country are facing what pUr ancestors were facing , an unde veloped country , the riches of which they long to poHsesp. T'hoy made the same mis- Jake our ancestors made , that money was what they wanted and not capital , money which could bo got for nothing Instead of capital which costs yearn of trust and faith , Maku- Sure of the Stnndnril. ' This Is it Question which can now be disposed of nnd against this disposal no reproach of locality can bo raised. If it IK said that thcro l no security , Hint congress may repeal , to that I UIIHWIT , that I should hope not. Among American people , still free , are wo never to nettle anything * because that Hottlemcnt'can ' bo upHet ? If the people wish to rcpe.tl It , that IH their right , but it xhould not have boon left In the hands of any administration to administer the lawx vfa have HO that Its amply and fully declared Intent should bo frittered nwuy. Lot us make Huro of our standard. Whether anything clxn ahould bo our aim , 1 am not hcru to dlx- CLIHS , But what wo know we ugreu on , let UH have. ' Do not forget that In a nreat and wide spread nation such us wo have them are other ( mention * besides money to bo dis cussed and Hcttled. If the standard < \ura \ lion drags too lonK on the roadway Home Impatient liorno-hon may strike it In the mud , There are some other questions. How soon they will come on for nettle- mciH nobody known , That they are In the air IH quite evident , I am not obtruding politico upon tlih OBHcmbly. That would bo out of place. Without any reference to lu political nig- nirtcunce , take the yoto.of Ohio ; Two years ugo , when wo were in earnest nnd the question of monetary stnmlnrd wan fully before the people , the candidate who rep resented the gold stnmlnrd received 6M , tt vote * nnd nil of hl opponents received 4SC.OOO. That was in.OOO majority. Thli year the republican cnndldftto had but 49,000 plurality , while ft third candidate hart Itni.ooo Votes. In the old days , when n majority over all -was required ) this would have been no election , 1 don't enter Into the question Of whether Mich opposition can be united ! 1 think It could not ! nevertheless , that Is a ehnnco which better not bo taken. But It IK not thp fig ures themselves that nro of much nccount , U l i what they Indicate. If there Is a settled national feeling , men vote for men nnd things , but xvlion the public mind Is unsettled , they vote against mon and things. Both Ohio nnd Kentucky nro ex- ampfcs of thin , This country , nnd Indeed nil the world , Is prosperous , but In our rush for gain we must not forgot the foundation of our prosperity , which 1 iv consciousness that the machine , with which wo do business Is sure and steadfast. One party now hns possession of both houses nnd Is roopou- slblo to the country. For lone years xvo have had no responsibility. The ccnnto was ono way nnd the hotisp another and nobody knew whom to blame. Now \\c know where to put the blame. If the wishes of our people are not carried out the responsibility Is clear. Bill some may say : "You were once In position to settle this question. " I am ready to answer nil judicious questions , especially when I put them myself. I was never so placed. In my tlmo the Bonnie was given over to badness. Besides , I am not urging you to push people Into pr i- osltlons thcv don't understand. Wo hnvo discussed many currency ques- tlonii nnd don't agree , but Iheio Is ono thing onvhlch we all agree and that IH the biislH of all currency , the standard oh which wo all agree , are all willing to trust our prosperity. Thc'next speaker was President Ilndley of Yale , on "Education for Modern Business Responsibilities. " At the conclusion of President Hadley's speech Senator Platt who It was thought would address the chamber Informally left the banquet hall. The next speaker was Whltclaw Hold , who spoke to the tcnst "Tho Existing Conditions Between the United States and Great Brit ain. " Mr. Held said In part : Ix > ng years ago Thorna ? JofTerson re marked that of nil the nations of the earth ' Great Britain could do UH the most harm and therefore we should sedulously culti vate u cordial friendship with It. Thcso latter days have shown that of all nations of the earth Great Britain and the United States can give the other the most cheer and each other the most good. There Is n nobler motive on both sides , for the same I seuuious cultivation ot tno same : curuiui friendship. In the lamentable wars In wh.eh ' both uro for Ihe moment unhappily enRaged - Raged the most ono need do 1 ? to hope for the other as for Itself , .in honorable und a speedy end to conflicts which neither be gan. gan.Fow thinking people Seriously suppose either war can hnvo any but the ono obvious and Inevitable result. The heavier battalions will win. For the rest , whatever the national sympathies aroused for the feebler side In either war and whatever may have been urged In partial justification of the attacks by which they precipitated hos tilities , the thinking person will not doubt that the end. which is foreseen from the- beginning , will bo bcrt for the security of personal rights , for liberty and the advanc ing civilization of the world. Three -Great Antlonn .Natural AllleH. We cannot but regret that In ono case the victory will bring some national pangs to as noble a race as dwells In Europe the race thnl stood llko a rock when the flood of Spanish aggression threatened to overflow - flow the conllnenl , the race that gave to England William of Orange nnd to America the city of New York. But the Dutch sympathy , with Illusory Afrikander asplra- tions , will breed no blood feud. Meanwhile It cannot prevent the return of good rela- tions between the two peoples of the world nearest to ourselves In origin , alms and in- , tercsls , the two great Indo-Germanic peoples ples , ruled from London nnd Berlin. That Is an event momentous In the world's his tory , aueplclou.i for us and auspicious for the solution of the eastern problems In which wo must now t > ear c r share. No doubt It Is our duly to cultivate friendly conditions with nil peoples and they may bo rl&hl who say that In general we should seek no special relations with any. But you cannot overrule the forces of nature or bind with the parchment of CIplomatistf ) Ihe hidden and Irresistible In- ( luenco of blood and history. I say without hesitation thai if there are three grea nn- lions In the world that God nnd nature meant for eternal peace and amity these Ihreojlare * Great Britain.'Germany nntl"the United State ? . There Is obviously every reason why England and Germany should be friends. Yet more should the United States welcome and prize the growing friendship of each. We HHVC Pledged 'the Oiicii Door. We are rivals in trade just as you friendly merchants of New York are all rivals In trade. But we are also Indispensable cus tomers to each other and we have a common Intcrtst In the cast the interest of the open door. Here and there ono still hears a discordant voice , declaring that the United States cannot do what It com mitted Itself to do In the treaty of Paris maintain the policy of the open door In Its eastern possessions. But this is a notion based on confusion as to the dif ferent uses of the trrm , "The United i States" In the constitution. The use of it Justifies the term that territory and prop erty nro not necessarily an integral part of the United States and the unbroken line of decisions by the highest courts forever over lialf a century sustains the absolute right of our country to ncqulro such ter ritory anywhere nnd to govern it as wo please. We have pledged the open door i in the Philippines to Spain , in a document i which Is now the supreme law of the land , , a well as the constitution , nnd wlmt we. I ' give to Spain wo will not refuse to the most favored nations. Therefore , the Philippines are , as our possessions , added I 1 to the commercial map of the world nnd I venture to think that In the century that in dawning they will fill a lurgo space vjion It. I Does any one In this country of great ' merchants ask what peed our trade with I them will bo to us , if open to everybody ? Let them ask what good , our trade with Great Britain Is to us ? It Is open to every- ' body. Or our trade wltK Franco or Ger many ? Does any ono bellevo that with the political control nnd with the Paclllc. ocean In our hands we. are' still such fcoblo competitors In eastern markets that wo cainot command the trade ? I have not thus rated the enterprise or the ability of my countrymen. So wo welcome to the cast nil the world , and are sure that those wo uhall BOO ofton- cst there will bo our Knglish and our German frlenda. Together we shall enter the vast , awakening unknown , where dwell one-fourth of the people of the world , and together In peaceful rivalry we nlust bear our respective shares of the white man's burden In the dark places of the earth. At tbo conclusion of Mr. Reid's speech , voluntary toasts were called for and a toast was drunk standing 'to ' tbo army and the navy. It was cheered enthusiastically. There wfcs no responHe to It , General Merrltt hav ing retired , and the banquet ended. Iliintlntr Him for Attempted Murder. SIOUX FALLS , S. D. , Nov. 21.
