which he has on his fellow-citizens. The Introduction with which Mr. Riley prefaced the reading of the poem, and the poem itcelf. made a profound impression, lie never appeared to a better advantage, and when the last words of hi tribute to "Old Glory" died away there was a morner.t's silence. In which many a man and woman furtively brushed away trar that arose unbidden in their eyes, and then the larsce audience rose a one per?on and cheered the poet to the echo. Representative James K. Watson, of the fclxth congres.-ior.al district, was to have delivered the closing address of the afterno jn, but a telegram of regret was received fr.im him. in which he stated that, owing to trouble which he is having with his eyes, he was unable to be present. Th programme concluded. Admiral Brown announced that Admiral Taylor would take a position under the rotunda cf the Statehoup where he would be Riad to meet and shake hands with all who desired to greet him. The party made its way to the rotunda, and during the. next threequarters of an hour the admiral ehook liands with several hundred Indlanians and received their congratulations and good good wishes. tiurernor Durbin Address. Governor Durbin'a address was as follow: ... "Admiral TaylorIn the name of the people of Indiana I greet you and I thank you In their behalf for your presence on this occasion. "Here assembled to Lid you welcome are representatives of every department of our State government legislative. Judicial, administrative and executive, together with a multitude of citizens who have come to attest their appreciation of the former commander of one of the most famous batleshlps afloat. "No one except those who have had the pleasure of experience fully . understands the meaning of comradeship on land- or sea, and I am sure nothing will be more gratifying to yoü' than the presence of these gentlemen, headed by Admiral Brown, who have achieved distinction not only in the navy, but in 'civil life as weil. Officially and ostensibly the "admiral is on the 'retired -list but after serving his country so long and faithfully, lie has returned-to his home State with the honors he deservedly won, renewing an Interest in civic affairs which has placed him in the forefront of our public-spirited citizens, respected and beloved by all. "The people of Indiana are justly proud of the achievements of her noble sons who have ever been ready to respond when duty required their services In defense of . the Hag and the integrity of the Union. "Here in the heart of this beautiful capital city etands one of the most costly and Impressive monuments in the world, erected by citizens of Indiana in memory of poldlers and sailors of all wars who offered their lives at the altar of patriotism. It is a fitting tribute to heroes, living and dead, from which succeeding generations may be Inspired to sustain principles established by the unselfish sacrifices of their forefathers. The Fourth of July Is celebrated each succeeding year by the people of this Re

public who enter into the spirit of the occasion with becoming zeal. It is our great ratal day, reviving fondest recollections of the birth of independence and of those who pledged their lives, their fortunes end their sacred honor in upholding the FAIE WEATHER TO-DAY. llaln or Snow Probable Throughout Indiana To-Morrorr.

principles they had declared, thus laying the foundation upon which our government has rested for one hundred and twentyseven years, secure in Us etability and fearless of all foes. A MEMORABLE DAY. "But the celebration of the Fourth of July, 1S03, was, perhaps, the most joyous In. the history of the Nation, because It brought glad tidings from tho American fleet which on the previous day had attacked and destroyed the Spanish squadron under Admiral Cervera In the open sea off the harbor of Santiago de Cuba. It was one of the greatest engagements in naval history. In the brief space of one hour and forty minutes from the firing of the first gun, every ship in the enemy's fleet was either burned or sunk, and the white Hag of the haughty Spaniards was run up as a signal of surrender and a plea for mercy. What followed was characteristic of American magnanimity. When General Grant accepted the surrender of General Leo at Appomattox he exacted no harsh terms, but kindly advised the vanquished Confederates to take their horses and return to their homes in peace, in order that they mif?ht resume their domestice vocations. The same spirit animated the officers and sailors of the American ships at Santiago. Kind Providence having saved them from casualties, as soon as the victory had been won, the stout hearts of the men who had so successfully vindicated our Hag were turned to pity. From the surging sea and from ships aflame they rescued wounded and despairing Spaniards, all of whom were transferred to the victorious vesesls and treated with the utmost kindness and consideration. The history of the world does not recite a greater act of chivalry than was there manifested, and no higher tribute could be pajd to American manhood. . "The citizens of Indiana have not been unmindful of the great battleship which bears the name of our favored State. One of my distinguished predecessors, the lamented Oovernor Matthews, accompanied by his staff, was present at the christen ing, ana a splendid silver service was contributed by our people through the medium of a popular subscription. Tho only oil painting that now adorns the executive chambers represents that powerful vessel. In the museum of this Capitol, properly incased and felicitously inscribed, is the Nordenfeldt gun taken by yourself and your sturdy sailors from the sunken Spanish cruiser, the Infanta Maria Teresa; and there, hanging in tho most conspicuous place in this vast structure, is the battle Hag carried by the Indiana through the smoke and fire of the fierce struggle for supremacy, with you, Admiral Taylor, on the bridge calmly directing the movements of the ship and seeking at all times to bo in the midst of the fray. We appreciate the discretion, efficiency and valor you displayed on that occasion and we glory In your well-earned promotion. THE BATTLE' FLAG. "When you generously presented the captured Spanish gun and the battle flag to this commonwealth, they were accepted with State ceremonies, both houses of the General Assembly being present, together with many other distinguished persons. Since that flag was draped in the rotunda on tho 13th day of January, 1S99, the pulseless remains of three eminent citizens, distinguished on account of their priceless services in behalf of their country and their fellow-citizens, have rested beneath it. First. General La.wton, who, through all his struggles, claimed Indiana as his home. Ills body rested there, and tens of thousands of persons mournfully passed his bier, paying reverential tribute to all that was mortal of a hero who gave his life In defense of his country's honor. He was fearless to a fault and patriotic, to the core " A soldier fit to stand by Caesar And give direction.' "Soon thereafter occurred the sudden death of Governor Mount, two days after his retirement from office. His body also rested under that Hag, and was viewed by thousands who loved him. He had been a soldier in the civil war, and, as chief executive, during the conflict with Spain, he was ever alert in his solicitude for Indiana soldiers he had sent forth with his blessings. And then, after a comparatively brief time, occurred the death of General Harrison, soldier and statesman, during whose administration as President of the United States the battleship Indiana was projected and named. His remains, too, rested under that flag while multitudes paid the last sad tribute to one who met every emergency unflinchingly and discharged every responsibility with conscientious regard for what he conceived to be a patriotic duty. "These incidents. Admiral x Taylor, are worthy of mention by reason of sacred associations and recollections, and I take occasion now to again thank you for your inuuKiiuuiiipss in donating to the State these trophies of a brilliant victory in which you bore a conspicuous part. "And now I have the honor and pleasure of presenting you a modest token of the esteem in which you are held by citizens of our State, heartily voiced by the Sixtythird General Assembly, now in session. We are proud of the battleship Indiana, and we are likewise proud of her old commander who won such signal honors for himself, his ship, our State and the nation in one of tho most memorable engagements in the annals of naval warfare." Admiral Taylor's Response. Admiral Taylor responded as follows: "Mr. Governor, Members of the Legislature, Ladles and Gentlvmen There are certain moments in the life of all men which stand out prominently in their meraorr for all time. "Sir. th present moment is such a one for me. Th great honor that has been done me this day will live in my memory always, and when I shall have long since passed away it -will gladden the hearts of my children. On another occasion, when Cervera's squadron, ship after ship, was driven ashore, silenced and almost destroyed, as I saw the great battle flags of those ships, those brilliantly-colored symbols of regal power, once mighty in the world, .and when i felt that lt was our guns and men who had thus laid low this ancient power, there was Indeed at that moment a great exultation of spirit and pride in the mighty Republic who.e faithful servants we were and whose livery we wore. The feeling was increased when the Justice of the cause for which we fought came to my mind, when I realized that the downfall of that crimson and ytllow banner of Spain meant the freedom of a long suffering people and the regeneration of the island of Cuba. "But, sir. the satisfaction and pride in our history tvas on that day shadowed by pity for the mUfortune of the gallant officers and crews of Spain who were but th instruments of their country's policy, and

SUCCORED THE DEFEATED. "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you would have been pleased with the officers and crews of our ships if you could have seen the sudden change which took place In their .attitude when the enemy's ships had struck their colors and the pitiful sight of the wounded and dying was presented to them. Nothing, I think, has rendered them more worthy of your approval In the battleship Indiana and in all of her consorts than the quick change from eagerness and fierce gallantry in battl to their kindly solicitude for. their suffering enemies in defeat. "Ladies and gentlemen, your great State of Indiana, which leads the Union ia the highest culture and the loftiest patriotism; whose national prosperity is matched by its intellectual development; whose authors and poets rejoice the world of literature; by the mandate of this great State expressed through Its Legislature to you, sir. Its chief magistrate, the seal of approval has been set upon the war service of that battleship which has so gladly borne the name of your Illustrious commonwealth. "The visible and material sign of that approval is this sword which you, sir. have handed to me this day with such kindly and generous words, enhancing by your graceful and eloquent speech, the value of the token and the admirable quality of its workmanship, and, sir, your words shall not bo forgotten by me or those who come after me. They will live In my memory, as will tho gift of this beautiful sword. , z ' REAR ADMIRAL GEORGE BROWN. Master of ceremonies at the sword presentation. which will be always in my family a source of the utmost pride and satisfaction, and which will remain with me and those that come after me. as will these slight trophies of the Santiago victory; this battle flag and this captured gun remain here to remind the people of Indiana those cultured, warm-hearted, brave, generous ar.d patriotic people of the earnest efforts of the officers of the Indiana and her crew to make her worthy of the flag she carried and the noble name she bore. "Sir, I accept this sword as a sign of Indiana's approval of the work done by the ship, and I accept it. therefore, not alonq in my name, to whom this great honor has come, but In the name of all those brave officers and men whom It was my pride and honor to command. "I assure you, sir, that this generous act of the State of Indiana will have an Inspiring effect In future wars in the hearts of the officers and men of the Indiana; and the memory of this day will live in their minds, will strengthen their hearts in the day of battle, and will nerve their arms to strike vigorous blows in the name of this noble State, for the glory of our gTeat republic and for the honor of the dear old flag we love so well." Sir. Gilbert's Address.Lieutenant Governor Gilbert's address was as follows: "The Governor has spoken upon this occasion, as the executive head of a great and growing people. It becomes my pleasure to speak for them in their representative capacity, and to voice the sentiments, as best I may. of the 150 senators and representatives who, coming from the people, are in close touch with their thoughts, with their hopes, with their purposes. "Patriotism has been the controlling sentiment of America ever since that vigorous winter in 1778, when that body of men, unparalleled perhaps In the world's history, unpaid, unclothed and unfed, tracked the snows of Valley Forge with the blood of their footsteps, and never turned their eyes to their country with complaint, or from their enemies In fear. Love of country and love of home again impelled in the glorious days of the sixties, when the mightiest war of all the ages was fought by men as brave upon cither side as ever woman gave to earth. Liberty and fraternity again inspired in the spring of when the men of Indiana, the men of the Nation, again followed the flying flag, cherishing as never before liberty and fraternity, fraternity and liberty. "The God of nations has been with us. Our flag has always proved triumphant. Our successes upon land have only been excelled by those upon the sea. "The heart of every American lad has been flred by the story of John Paul Jones. Sept. 23, 177a. when the Bon Homme Richard. In its contest with the Serapis. snatched victory from defeat, was the first great day for American arms upon the sea. The reply of that hero, when asked, 'Has your ship struck? has inspired our sea captains to the present hour. We can see him now, as he stands upon the deck of his ship, outclassed in every way by her antagonist we can see him as he stands In the moonlight, with supreme faith in his flag and in his men. We can se him as he utters the words which have filled the ears of millions 'I have not yet begun to fight." PERRY'S VICTORY. "Perry's victory upon Lake Erie marks another epoch for the navy of the United States. Can you see his figure on the morning of Sept. 10. 1S13? 'A man of lofty stature and athletic build, with a broad forehead, regular features and large, dark eyes.

a mobile mouth about which an Irresistible amlle was wont to hover." Again a victory against overwhelming odds, because the hearts of Americans beat txtieath the tattered uniforms of the United States. Commodore Perry's dispatch to General Harrison has been repeated by every citizen of this Republic: 'We have met the enemy, and they are ours.' "The deeds of valor and bravery performed by our seamen during the civil war will live as long as history is read. The contests of the Monitor and Merrimac. of the Kearsarge and Alabama, great In themselves, are greater yet in the inspiration which they furnish to succeeding generations. "Out from the glorious history of our first century came tne officers and men who trod our ships when war was declared with Spain. Opportunity had so seldom come that the citizens of our country hardly knew what results to expect. Their faith

had no basis in deeds accomplished, but was grounded wholly upon a knowledge of the character of our seamen, and of the spirit which lias always possessed the men fighting under the folds of 'old glory.' Theyhad faith in purpose, faith in officers and men. faith in the American spirit, but they had no conception of the possibilities of the contests which were to come. "On that beautiful May day morning. when the electric wires Mashed the story of Manila bay around the globe, the great body of the American people were gathered In their churches praying for a success which had already been achieved. The most ardent enthusiast had not hoped for so complete a victory. All history was swallowed up in the unparalleled present. A new height had been reached, which it seemed could never be surpassed. BLUE-CLAD HEROES. "Then our blue-clad boys went forth, led by our blood-bought banner. At ' our very threshold, almost within our sight and. hearing:, the cries of the tortured and oppressed were raised to Heaven for assistance. The decrepitude of age, the weak ness of childhood, the helplessness of womanhood, appealed to us for deliverance from death, and worse. The god of na tions .moved us to action, and the peoples of the earth beheld an unparalleled appli cation of the golden rule. The world has had wars before wars for conquest; wars for gain; wars for revenge; wars to satisfy ambition; wars for home and fireside; wars for one's own flag and country; but never before, since time began, has a war been waged solely for the liberty of another and alien people. Never before has a war been waged upon the express declaration, when success should come, that the land upon ' - - - . ttiyi-:" - 1. 0.: t jtfeiy . v . ' ß 4fr" 1 GOV. WINFIELD T. DURBIN. which lt was fought should be given back to Its Inhabitants with the privilege there upon to establish a stable government. "Our enemy had assembled a great and masterful fleet to meet us. Its ships were the best of their class; its captains the most skilled of the Spanish nation; its men trained by a life time in its service. They were gathered at the point where was to be achieved the. greatest naval success in human history. Again on Sunday morning the trial came. Attempting to escape while American officers and men were attending divine service, the Spanish fleet utterly perished. Of the noble ships which, under God, achieved this victory, one of the best was named for the State which we represent and which we love. You, Admiral Taylor, our distinguished gxiest, were In command. Under you were brave officers and men, trained with the perfection of machinery, yet with the brains and intelligence of Anglo-Saxon American citi zens. Your achievements ranked with tho best of the day, and the day was the greatest in the annals of war. To Indiana came new honors, new glorj Our flag was lifted higher, and the light of Its folds was brighter than ever before. Because of that day our flag has been unfurled on distant Isles of the sea. never to be furled again, and carrying liberty to those who never knew its meaning. The rising sun. during every hour of the twenty-four, as it circles this old round world, kisses this beauteous banner. PRIDE IN THE FLAG. "What pride to know that that flag. flung to the breezes more than a century and a quarter ago, symbolizing, as it does, principles only less precious than those represented by the banner of the cross of Jesus Christ, has never known defeat. What pride to know that .first of all the standards of the earth, it has carried liberty to alien peoples. What pride to know that the oppressed and downtrodden everywhere, as they look on high for help, may behold it in skies which never before were kissed by Its beauty. What pride to know that cheers and tears of rejoicing have greeted lt even In the forbidden city of the ancient capital of the oldest empire upon the globe. What pride to know that as we listen we near in wild acclaim the cheers, and as we look, we see in deepest gratitude the tears that greet the establishment of civil government under its folds for ten millions of our brother men. What pride to know that- the sons of the men who wore the blue and the sons of the men who wore the gray, and the sons of the men wlio wore the garb of the fugitive slave marched side by side carrying it to its new glories. "Because of Admiral Tayor and men like him; because of the Indiana and ships like her; because of the crew of that ship and men like them, we have assumed the burden, heavy though It be, and with it the glory. God-given as lt is. of carrying lib erty around the globe; so that, in coming years, our nag will symbol liberty to peoples everywhere, and countless millions, as they see Its beauty In the skies, with tears of thankfulness upon the cheeks and gratitude to God within their hearts, will rever ently exclaim, 'My flag and ray Country!' "We love our State. Fair Is her name and fairer yet her sunlit hills and sliver streams. We, her children, love her. We love the kindly spirit of her people. We love the memories which cluster 'round her history. We love her forests, flelds and lakes. We love her history in peace and war. We love her sons who have brought her fame. AY e love her .daughters our sis ters, mothers, wives. We love her soldiers and sailors, living and dead. We love all those who have wTitten any book or song which keps her memory green or her glory bright, we love those who built yon der enduring monument to our country j loving men, and who have inscribed upon the tablets or their hearts a tribute to our flreside-loving women. We love the ship which bears her name. We love the men who manned her, from the men in the stoker's hold to the men behind the guns. We love the brave and. gallant captain, our guest to-day, who commander her on the aupremest day of naval warfare. " The winds of heaven never fanned; The circling sunlight never spanned. The borders of a better land Than our own Indiana.' "Adinlral Taylor, on behalf of a people who love this State I greet you. On behalf of a people who love that flag I greet you. un Denaif of a people and a General Assembly who believe in the patriotism that you nave snown i greet you. May your so journ with us be as pleasant fcr you as for us. May health and prosperity attend you.

Vr the stars and stripes; but that it is an ever-newer glory in our eyes and an everdearer rapture to our hearts, the coming generations of Its patriot followers, high and low, can but lift to it continuous voices of applause and benediction. Mas ter orators may eulogize It till no rurtner s thrill of speech seems left with wnicn to fitly glorify it, or poets may sing Its praises till their song seems one with the music of the ripples of the breezes m its silken folds; but no tribute-voice. of forum, ham or clarion may well hold mute the one all-universal voice that breaks, with cheers and tears, at every newer sight of our rsation's hallowed-emblem the old flag. Over its brave heroes and defenders, since 'the shot heard round the world.' it has been a panoply, a shelter and a shield, and ytt how .proudly have the embattled nosts gone down that they might lift it to securer heights. Its wavering shade has fallen on the weary marcher softly as the shadow of the maple at his father's door. He has heard its Tlutterings, UKe light laughter, in the lull of noonday bat tle: and. worn with agony, above tne surgeon's tent, that all is well. Yea, and In death the sacred banner has enfolded him, even as a mother's fond caress. Ho, but the Lord's own victory in which he shares! the land he loved restored, Inviolate, to kinsman, comrades and oncoming patriot thousands yet to be the broad old land of freedom firm under foot once more the old flag overhead! And what inspiring symbol must this banner be to its like brave defenders who go down to sea in ships. One of these a hapless prisoner for a while says this of the old flag: There's an odd thing about that flag when you meet it on tho high seas ana tne wind is blowing hard, namely, tnat or all flags I know, It is the most alive; when the wind blows, the most eager and keen, with the strlies flowing and darting, and the stars seeming to dance with the Joy of excitement. So that there is none better to go into battle, or come down the street when the fifes are piping ahead; but If you wänt something to signify peace and quiet, you would be as well off with not such bristling stars and fewer stripes, for the stars will leap and the stripes show their energy wherever the wind blows.' And with righteous pride it Is recorded that upon the sea-borne on the throbbing bosom of the gale and baptized with the salt seaJAMES WHITCOMB RILEY. spray this beloved flag of ours was first christened by the name of Old Glory." .
