Ex Gov Davis next presented G. Vile Dechene. from Quebec. who Is also a distinguished orator among the French liberals In Canada. On rising Mr Dechene was greeted with tremendous applause.
He started out in a. magnificent oration about the French race in Canada. In the present and future. He expressed the great pleasure It afforded him on arriving in Crescent park and seeing such a large demonstration of his fellow countrymen. their wives and daughters, who evidently were prospering in their new country.
It recalled to his mind the celebration of the national feast of St Jean Baptiste in Quebec last June. which was one of the greatest occasions witnessed In the old city of Quebec for a long time. On this occasion he was stir-rounded with numbers of their race, who all looked as their compatriots in this country, with the exception that the look of contentment is more prevalent on the countenances of his countrymen in the United States. He was proud to witness this prosperous condition, which spoke well for their energy and thrift, which was calculated to bring them the respect of all American citizens. Having in contemplation such a spectacle of the race in the United States, he could not otherwise than be etruck with the contrast in Canada, where the French Canadian race reaches from the Pacific to the Atlantic oceans, from Magdalene islands to British Columbia, where the French language is spoken and where the French Canadians control the legislative council and assembly in the province of Quebec.
and likewise send a large representation of their countrymen to Ottawa. to take part in the parliamentary councils of its dominion government. Though the large majority of French Canadians who rule in the province of Quebec give fair play to the minority, that justice and right is refused their race and religion in the other provinces. He then spoke of the great strides the French Canadians made in all the walks of life, in the field of politics. on the bench.

In regard to the tax rate, Mayor Bancroft says: "Considering the burdens to which the city of Cambridge is subjected the tax rate is very satisfactory. There has been a gain of about 83,250,000 in real estate. and a shrinkage of only about $100.000 in personal property. "That there should be any reduction under the heavy burdens that we are carrying I think will be a surprise to most people, as it is certainly very gratifying for it was generally expected that the rate would be substantially increased this year. "Care in appropriation and economy In expenditure has enabled us to reduce the rate.
The extraordinary expenses this year have been 823.000 park expenses, an increase in the county tax of nearly $6000, and an increase in the metropolitan sewer tax of over 116.000. while the growing needs of our city have obliged us to appropriate about $41.000 more for city purposes than was appropriated last year.

NEW YORK, Aug 12The weather bureau has adopted an innovation in the way of signals. and hereafter in giving warning of hurricanes, or of unusually severe storms, dangerous to navigation, it will give a brilliant display of fireworks in the shape of rockets.
The idea Is one of Elias E. Dunn's. Mr Dunn said today: "I have Just returned from a visit to Mr Paine. who Is at present engaged in manufacturing special rockets for this experiment. They will be of the stickless, mortar bomb variety.
which ascend to the hight of 400 or 500 feet before exploding. In the ascent they resemble a ball of fire. but upon bursting, which they do with a loud sound, they emit numberless lurid sparks. which continue to burn until they reach the ground. "These rockets will be adopted all along the coast.
and to further the efficiency of the department we have arranged with nearly all the fast line steamships to fly hurricane flags from their masts." INSTRUMENTS RECOVERED.

At 1.30 the Crescent Park theater was filled with a large gathering of French Canadians and American friends. Ex Gov Davis presided and delivered the address of welcome. In the course of his remarks he said: "I am privileged through the courtesy of your committee to welcome you to our Narragansett shores.
and to render that welcome something more and better, something heartier and more cordial than the ordinary perfunctory official salutation. "You are by no means strangers to us. During the recent decades thousands of your kinsfolk from the gre-at valley of the north have come to dwell with us. You have become a part of us and we have always found you intelligent, kind and gentle, truthful, and levers of liberty. and with such qualifications to your credit I am here to say that under the protection of our civil law there is no good thing to which you may not aspire deservingly.
"Nor do we forget that your ancestors were amcmg-the first to bring European civilization to our shcres. and by their missionaries to bear it through the very heart of this continent. The nomenclature of hundreds of towns, cities and lakes and rivers. reaching from Louisburg in the north to New Orleans in the south, bear witness to the intelligence of your ancestors. "You are assembled to revive the legends and histories of the past and to renew old acquaintances, as well as to seek new ones.
Some will say that we have no time to devote to sentimentelity, but my ilfe has been long enough for me to observe that those who care but little for their ancf-stry are capable of accumulating but little which shall cause their posterity to wish to remember them. Sentiment is the foundation of all true patriotism, love of country and affection for fellow-men. "It may be that we here today are comparatively few in numbers, but as the small seed germinating and growing becomes in due- time the broad-spreading shade tree, so the good fellowship here engendered may, perchance. develop into the wide-extending and far-reaching panoply of Christian citizenship." Ex Representative Dubuque of Fall River followed in an eloquent speech, in which he referred to the French Canadian race as being very patriotic, and at the same time filled with sentiment. which is a noble trait in man.
The French, as history shows, were loyal to the American republic. which they very materially assisted to build with the aid of French money, French soldiers and the services of the brave Lafayette. The speaker next spoke of the past and how the French Canadians were the forerunners of civilization in Canada. Today the race was a part of the great American nation. and was ready at all times to show loyalty if the occasion arose.
In .50 years hence there would be no French in the province of Quebec. They were fast emigrating at the present to this country, and in time they would all come over and aid in the architecture of this great republic, which is destined to become the greatest on the universe. He urged on every French Canadian to become a naturalized citizen, and take their places among the active citizens of this country, and by their respect for themselves they would soon explode the calumny heaped on their race by fanatical enemies. Ex Mayor Goodwin of Pawtucket followed in a neat speech, declaring his friendship for the French Canadian race and his admiration for them above all for their liberty-loving sentiments. The French and American hnve stood side by side in the past.
and he hoped such attachment would ever continue to exist. He had watched the French Canadian come over from Canada, and had seen that they were a 1 (15, 931 r-orti ly .9 1 14 at TIM TORY PARTY. the speaker's residence in the parliament house was useful here, but it was repugnant to the American system. There were not one-third enough seats the house of commons for its members. The seats and desks In the house were a better arrangement.
AlrCrisp added that there was a good press gallery here. but he did not favor the ladies being placed in a cage behind the speaker's desk. The visitors were surprised by the short speeches made by the speakers today, as they apparently had copious notes. They found the house of lords nearly deserted. though they said they understood there would be a fuller attendance Thursday to receive the address from the thrum.
Mr Crisp will go to Paris tomorrow. He will return next reek and wath parliament when it is actually legislating. ROYAL PROCLAMATION READ.

Mr Golly thanked the house for the honor it had conferred upon him, especially in being proposed by both the government parties and the opposition. Continuing. he said that to be impartial was the least difficult though the most Important duty of the speaker. He looked, in his general conduct in the chair. to that spirit of justice and good senze which always distingu1s4ed the house with its relations with the chair.

Crisp, Uhl and Lodge at the Official Evening Reception. LONDON. Aug 12Hon Charles Crisp. ex speaker of the house of representatives; Hon Edwin P. Uhl, assistant secretary of state, and Hon Henry Cabot Lodge, senator from Massachusetts.
were guests this evening at an entertainment given by speaker Outly at his residence in Westminster palace. They received marked attention from Mr Balfour and Mr Chamberlain and other prominent men who were present. Mr Crisp informed the representative of the United Press that he had been struck by the numerous ceremonies la the procedure of the house of commons, which, to him, appeared to be useless. He said he noticed especially that no actual vote was taken in the election of speaker. He understood, of course, that the election was virtually by unanimous consent, but in the United States the question is always stated to the house In order that an opportunity may be given for dissenters to express their views.
It seemed remarkable that so great a majority as the government had should choose a member of the minority for their presiding, officer. Such a course would never do under the constitution, where the speaker must be a partisan, as he is clothed with greater power In the appointment of committees. Contintgng, Mr Crisp said that having CHARLES W. ADAMS MISSING. He Was a Driver of the Maplewood Chemical Engine, and it is Alleged He and Mrs Downie Have Eloped.
