Welcomed Bjr Mayor Conch.
The formal welcome to Gen. Metcalf
was extended by Mayor G. L. Couch in
a few well chosen words. He said that
the generous reception accorded the
general was but a reflection of the in
terest in him shaved by the whole com
munity. Referring to the Philippine
trouble, he said that it is not a war foT
the extension of territory, and main
tained that the flag must remain there,
n example of what American civilizi-
tion can accomplish. As for Gen. Met
calf, the people of Wellington are
proud of his achievements, proud that
he was once a citizen here. He then
turned over to him the keys of the city
and gave him the freedom of the town.

Mr. Mayor and Fellow -Citizens :
I have regretted a great many times in
the past two or three weeks that na
ture had not endowed me with an e!e-
quent tongue or given facility for such
a tongue as I have. The great recep
tions that have been accorded the
Twentieth Kansas since we landed in
San Francisco, the generous welcomes
that have been extended by fifteen or
twenty towns to as in the past ten
days, has made me wish, for the power
of eloquenee. I know all this is not
for me. It is for the soldiers
with whom I have been associated ; it
is more than that it is for the soldiers
of the United States. It means that
you believe in what they are doing and
stand back behind it alt
I do not expect to make a political
speech. All this anti-expansion talk is
oost mortem talk. I believe that the
creator and ruler of this universe de
cided that question eighteen months
ago. We have a duty to perform in the
Orient. We can't help nor avoid it.
It has to be done. Cheers.
I have been welcomed to death this
past ten days, I wss going to say, but I
am very glad to be in Wellington and
to greet you all. Applause.

most of us are not permitted to ride

in the world ; and until that time shall

shall be a new heaven and new earth in

the reason why America has been so

because of the ancestry, the history

"Educated under this flag," the
speaker continued "The white of the
flag -the symbol of the purity and
righteousness of the motives of the
men who formed the Declaration of
Independence and framed the Consti
tution under which we live; the red
symbolizes the blood and carnage and
sacrifice which were made necessary in
its formation and in its protection ; the
blue field, studded with stars like the
izure vault of heaven studded with
stars on a summer evening, symbolic of
peace to all mankind. Peace, protec
tion and purity are the symbols of the
flag under which the youth of America
is educated.
Not long ago I had an almost
prophetic vision. I see not many
years hence Cuba and the Philippines
wearing the garb of civilization, enjoy
ing the comforts and luxuries which
come with civilized life ; the territory
connected with telegraph and tele-
phone ; the soil worked with modern
machinery, and in the far-off Orient-
China with her teeming millions, her
land covered with a net-work of rail
roads, nsing the products of our manu
factures and mills, and her people en
joying all the comforts and luxuries of
civilization. We receive what we have
done for them, and I see in our own
land as a result of what we have done
for them many more millions of people,
every farm a garden, waste places made
cultivated,, the country dotted with
mills, and our mines of gold, silver and
onpper worked to the fullest cspscity ;
and there is peace and prosperity on
every hand, and the seas are covered
with our ships of commerce carrying
these products to the islands of the
ocean. And, dear General, our coun
try and the world does not new appre
ciate what you and your comrades-inarms
have accomplished, but when this
new vision Is fulfilled, then shall they
know what they owe to you and your
fellow-soldiers. Not sn expansion of
territory, but an expansion of civiliza
tion. " Optomiatic? Do you aay that I am

The short address by Superintendent
R. H. Kinnison, who welcomed the
general on behalf of the public schools
of this place, waa an admirable effort,
and evoked frequent applause. The
speaker said that in a boys' heart and
in a girl's there ia just as much rever
ence for the flag and its defenders as in
the hearts of many older persona.
Therefore the reception to Cen. Met
calf was not meaningless to them. He

were boys then in the schools here

said to the general: "And therefore

come. In conclusion. Hunt. Kinnison
bestowed upon Gen. Metcalf the high
est compliment that one man can give
another. After mentioning that he and
Gen. Metcalf were near neighbors not
many years ago, he said : " So long as
I have known you I have only known,
and we all have known you, as a man
of stainless character, and you come
back to us a man every inch a man.
We give you a cordial greeting, with
honor in every word."
Bar. H. D. Sheldon's Address.
The welcome of the churches of Wel
lington was extended by Rev. U. D.
Sheldon of the Congregational church.
Rev. Sheldon reminded the audience
that it was the Twentieth Kansas that
set to rest all doubts about the volun
teers, saying he believed that a part of
the credit for this belonged to Ohio,
for the man who had worked day and
night drilling the regiment and getting
it into condition for actual service, was
an Ohio man s Wellington man.
Prolonged cheering. Rev. Sheldon
then spoke of his first meeting with
Gen. Metcalf, which eccurred about
1885, when he and the general's brother
were college mates at Oberlin. As to
expansion, which had been toucnea
upon once or twieejlnring the evening,
it was the speaker's ardent hope that
the policy finally adopted by this coun
try would be for the uplifting of the
Filipinos and the betterment af man
kind. Another song and an encore by the
Glee club followed Rev. Sheldon's ad
dress.
Geo. L. Blini'i Address.
Attorney Geo. L. Blinn made a num
ber of happy "hits" in his short ad
dress. Briefly he said : " Ladies and
Gentlemen If you were in my place
and were called upon to makeaspeech,
what would you say ? Our distin
guished guest has been welcomed by
the city, by the schools, and by the
churches. What is there left for me
to ssy? Why, Gen. Metcalf, I will wel
come you to thia grand old state of
Ohio. I will welcome you to your dear
wife and folks, to your sisters and
brothers. It waa the boys of the Rev
olution ; it was the boys of the war of
1812, it was the boys of the Mexican
and civil wars, and the war of 1698,
who have made it possible for us to
live and enjoy the greatest and most
glorious government on the globe."
Attorney Blinn then said that if you
hear of a man who has risen to distinc
tion either in eivil or military life, if
you trace his history you will find that
nine times out of ten that he was born
or bsd lived in Ohio. And so it waa in
Gen. Metcalfs case. Continuing, the
speaker said ; " Now, it may be said
that aa I look over this grand audience
that I don't see a Republican, a Demo
crat or a Prohibitionist, but only the
people of the village of Wellington. I
am glad tonight that I live on Taylor
street. It seems to me that that is the
first street in Wellington. Laughter.

behalf of the committee, and brought
down the house on announcing that
Gen. Metcalf would hold an informal
reception on the stage by warning the
leaders that the hero of the evening
was not to be Hobsonized. He then
proposed three cheers and a tiger one
for Gen. Metcalf, one for the army and
navy, one for our new possessions, and
one for the flag" which were given
with hearty zest.

SWAM THE BAG BAG.
Llent Banfeld Tells of the Bravery mt
Gen. Metcalf at the Battle of Oalffalnto
KlTer.
Percy Barsfeld of Kansas City waa in
Topeka yesterday, says the Daily Capi
tal of Nov. 19. Mr. Barsfeld was a
trumpeter in Company B of the Twen
tieth, and was the man who swam the
Bag Bag river and sounded the advance
for the others of his regiment. He is
at present attending the State univers
ity, and is visiting Joe Wilson, who is
a member of the same fraternity, the
Phi Psi.
Mr. Barsfeld is modest about his ae- '
tion in swimming the Bag Bag, and
speaks about it as "a swim with clothes
on." Shortly after his display of brav
ery at the Bag Bag, he was given a sec
ond lieutenant's commission. He was
with the regiment during the entire
time after leaving Manilla until it was
recalled from the firing line, and he
said in regard to the recent allegations
in regard to Gen. Wilder S. Metcalf:
" On March 20, the day the battle of
Guiguinto river was fought, Gen. Met
calf was with the regiment It has
been claimed that Lieut. CoL Littla
was on that day, and at several other
times in command of the regiment.
This is not true. Col. Little had com
mand of the regiment but once while
we were on the march, and that was at
Malolos.
" We fought two battles on March 29.
The first was that of the Santa Maria
Bigbaa river, and at that engagement
Gen. Metcalf was wounded. He con
tinued with the regiment, however, un
til the Guiguinto river was reached,
and shortly after the hostilities began
there he was seen by Gen. McArthur
and ordered to the rear. Even then he
did not want to go.
" There was not a braver man in the
regiment than Gen. Metcalf. I saw
him one day walk down a road, which
was exposed to the fire of the Filipinos,
accompanied by a sergeant, a corporal
and a private. He was always a leader,
and was liked by the men. While there
is not a man in the regiment whom I
like personally better than Col. Little,
I do not believe he would have made a
fit commander for the regiment on ac
count of his lack of military ideas."
