President Boosevelt baa farewell ot San. Francisco tonight, his last day, like the others here, hai'Ing been so completely taken up that it servedl to verify the smiling remark ho , made yesterday that the city of the Golden Gate had given him everything except sleep. Early this morning the Presidential party, -with an escort of sailors and ma-J rlnes, left the Palace Hotel ana partici pated in the dedication of the monument commemorative of the victory of Commo dore Dewey and his fleet at Manila Bay, Here the President dwelt strongly on the necessity of a stronger Navy and of prac tical training at sea.

The citi zens of Oakland next claimed Mr. Roose velt's presence. Following came a visit to Vallejo, whero the cornerstone of the Y. M. C. A. building for Uncle Sam's sea men was laid.

Under a balmy sky and on the greensward of Union Square this morning the President participated in the dedication of the mag nificent monument erected in commemo ration of the victory of the American Navy at Manila. The monument consists of a high shaft of white California granite surmounted by a bronze figure of Victory, holding in one outstretched hand a -wreath and in the other a trident The President was escorted from the hotel to the square by all of the marines of the warships in the harbor. On the stand from which he addressed the as sembled multitude were the officers of the warships in San Francisco Bay and vi cmity, and the officers of the cruiser Grafton, the flagship of the British Pa cific squadron. In a few words Chairman James G Phelan presented the monument to the City of San Francisco,- and it was as briefly accepted by Mayor Schmitz on behalf of the municipality. President Roosevelt said San Francisco should glory in commemorating the Navy's victory at Manila, as that event had opened the Pacific Ocean to American commerce, and more than any other event had contributed to give the United States a higher place among the naval powers. He dwelt on the necessity of preparing ships, armament and men for the Navy. Naval battles are fought in advance and the Americans won at Manila because they were ready for the strife. The ne cessity of improving the Navy was first made apparent in 1BS2, and all of the war. ships "we now have were built since that time. Since the last war the naval strength of the United States had been rapidly increasing and under the wise provisions of the last Congress had par tlcularly advanced. He urged practical work at sea, particularly In marksman ship, saying, "Remember that the shots that count in war are the shots that hit." GIVEN A DEGREE AT BERKELEY. State University Makes the Presi ' dent a. Doctor of Laws. BERKELEY, Cal.. May 14. The citizens of Berkeley united with tho members of the faculty and students of the University of California this morning in tendering tremendous ovation to President Roose velt and party. Long before the hour set for the arrival of the special train, the school children of the city, gaily festooned with flowers, assembled on elder side of the street leading to the university en trance. The thoroughfare had been brll llantly decorated for the occasion, and when the Presidential party passed up the street tho avenue was completely carpeted with the fairest blossoms of the university town. The Presidential train, gay ly caparisoned with flowers, arrived at the Berkeley de pot at 10:30 o clock. Carriages and a com mlttee of representative citizens were in waiting, and the drive to tho new amphi theater at the university, where the com mencement exercises were held, was lm mediately begun. As President Roosevelt stepped from his carriage and made his -way to the amphitheater, he was sur rounded by 16 cavalrymen. He -was dec orated with a hood and gown in conform' ity with the degree of doctor of philos ophy. The exercises opened with an lnvo cation by Rev. Albert F. Lylle, the' oldest living graduate of the college. The first address was made by Jesse Stelnhart, graduate student, -who spoke on "The University and the Newer American Life.' Robert Sibley, a member of the gradual ing class, had as his theme "The Mis slon of the university in Engineering. The address of Allen Pomeroy Matthew. "The College Man as a Citizen, was pre needed and followed by musical selections rendered by an orchestra. So nicely had the programme been timed that the Presidential party arrived Just "before tha conferring of degrees by Governor Pardee to the memoers or xae graduating class. After the preliminary cheers which greeted the appearance -of President Roosevelt had subsided, -the rooters of the student "body greeted the; head of the Nation with the Harvard yell. He gave approval of the slogans which the collegians rendered again and again, by frequent nods and smiles. President Benjamin Ide wheeler then conferred the degrees -upon the 400 colle gians who sat, upon the stage with cap and gown. After this the President was Introduced by President Wheeler, who simply said: "Theodore Roosevelt, President of tha United States." Then, as the Chief Executive, attired In black academic robe trimmed with pur ple, stepped into the sunlight. President Wheeler said: "Theodore Roosevelt, by authority of. the regents of the University of Califor nia I confer upon you the degree of Doc tor of Laws. This is the highest honor the State University knows how to con fer on you. Its best it gives gladly." President Roosevelt then addressed tha assemblage. He eulogized the state, its Teople and the university, speaking in affectionate terms of his old friend. President Wheel er. At the close of the exercises he left for Oakland, -where he was driven through ine principal streets, accompanied by Gov ernor Pardee, Senator Perkins and the reception committee.

PRESIDIO IS A DISGRACE. President Will Urie Secretary Root to Renovate It nt Once. . SAN FRANCISCO. May 14. The Bulle tin says: "President Roosevelt has reached the conclusion that the quarters and barracks at the Presidio are disgraceful, consider ing the size and importance of the res ervation. He is, therefore, going to make it his immedlato business to write to Sec retary Root, and ask that a large sum of money be diverted immediately to the renovation of the Presidio. Whether there is enough money already appropri ated to be of much use In building thi3 immense post, with its garrisons of two regiments of Infantry, enough artillery to form more than a regiment and a squadron of cavalry, or whether it will be necessary to wait for the reassembling of Congress to get the sum of money. amounting to 51.000,000 or more, which would be required for an entire remodel ing is a question, but it is'certain that the President Is sufficiently interested to take active steps at once to make the Presidio the kind of place it should be."

Mr. Anderson spoke on "Some Respon sibilities of Capitalistic Organization. He said: . "In considering some of the responsi bilities of capitalistic organization, it Is not to bo overlooked that the career of the labor organizations has not been marked-by any such love of wisdom. Jus tice and fair dealing as to evoke our moral enthusiasm. Nor have tho labor organ izations any moral standing to denounce trusts, for their movement is as distinctly a combination or trust as Is the capi talistic movement. The two movements or aiiiro in motive and object." The subiect of Mr. Brandels' address- was "The Responsibilities of Labor Or ganizations and Trades Union Incorpora tion." He said labor unions have been largely instrumental In securing reason able hours of labor and proper conditions of work; In raising materially the scale of wages; in protecting women and chil dren from industrial oppression. He pointed out, however, that the struggle ot worklngmen to attain these ends had been attended at times by acts of intol erable violence. Tho growth ana success of labor unions, he argued, as well as their usefulness to the community at i laree. had been advanced by measures which tend to make them more deliber ate, less arbitrary and more patient witn the trammels of a civilized community. The employer and the community also require this protection. Incorporation would servo In some measure to the at tainment of this end." Professor Wambaugh, who followed, also discussed trade unions. He held trades unions responsible for committing a wrong, though unincorporated; that it would not be easy to prove connection between perpetrators of wrongs and the unions. If incorporated, and that Incor poration Involved the danger that incor porated trades unions would combine with capitalists in disregard of the Interests of the public Argument for Incorporation. t John F. Tobln, president of the Boot and Shoe-Workers Union, referring to Professor Wambaugh's remarks, said: "The prospect of capital and labor or ganizations combining as against the peo ple is not, to my mind, very dangerous. The principal argument In favor of the Incorporation of trades unions Is that It will give security to contracts made with labor unions, and make them liable for damages for the same extent as the em ployers." Professor David L. Dewey, of the In stitute of Technology, said: "I find myself In sympathy with Pro fessor Wambaugh's position. The propo- j sltlon to Incorporate trades unions fs an . . ,,,!, tv, ,i- ,. i attempt to sidetrack the main issue in the discussion which is before the coun- try. It Is not asked for by trades unions. It Is suggested as a method of Imposing AtioiTMol -nhUirnHnn llrw-in irnripv nntnnn financial -obligation upon trades unions J and its members." 1 Eliot Leaves It to Unions. President Charles W. Eliot, of Harvard, summarized the question of the Incorpora tion of the trades unions In the state ment that if they wanted it there seemed to be no objection, and If they did not want it, there was no objection. There was, however, an objection to the impo sition of a money penalty, and this whole talk of Incorporating trades unions was fairly attributable to a deslro to get at them and impose a fine or collect dues. "It must be noted," said Mr. Elliot, "that the activities of the trades unions involve only moral, not legal, responsi bilities. The position of the unions is virtually that pf two million men who systematically permit moral and physical violence in the attainment of their ends In the limitation of output, than which there is no more corrupting or degrading influence. Unskilled laborers cannot gain their alms In a labor struggle without permitting violence, but this Is a moral question, and not one of damages. To at tempt to get at them vindictively, by in ducing or compelling incorporation, and making them financially liable, is not at all the way to settle the problem." The evening cession was given to ad dresses on tho general topic of "Indus trial Peace," the Introductory address be ing delivered by Oscar S. Straus, presi dent of the association. After analyzing conflicts between labor and capital, Mr. Straus drew this conclusion: "The greatest obstacle to industrial peace is not selfishness, hut the tyranny of Ignorance and uneconomic demands. In the very nature of things, the employer class, as a- whole. Is more educated and has a better conception of 'enlightened self-interest The speaker thought tho outlook was hopeful, for the reason that the mainte- nance of the open door of opportunity is a fundamental American. doctri. The conclHdlas speaker -was SK. Clair McKelway, editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, who spoke upon "Jouralkfia and Publicity." Pkyslelan CeHveatiea Cleses, WASHINGTON, May 14.

Robert Whyte, the representative In England of the American Presbyterian Church, has given out the reply of tho Rev. William Morrison, of Lexington, Va., to the letter addressed to him by Mr. Houdret, Consul-General of the Congo Independent State In London, Rev. Mr. Morrison Is a member of the J f, nrecTnf tvr-in I cently made public here charges of tyran- , ,I,K0,.,1 , art nf th KysuPn ' .f.. ift rr " Co"SO over the native population. To 'he cTSCa Mr' Houdret rcP1Icd' m Part. ' "Your allegations would have been more serviceable if they had been made direct to the authorities at Brussels, who desire to repress abuses if any have been com mitted." In the letter made public by Mr. Whyte, Mr. Morrison says he did not men tion the matter of abuses in tne uongo while he was In Brussels because tho state authorities at Boma had Just concluded an "Investigation," and had reported tnat tho charges were "exaggerated." Conse quently no more could be done and he did not believe protests on behalf of the na tives of the Congo would be officially no ticed if submitted to Belgium. Mr. Whyte in giving out Mr. Morrison's letter, says: "King Leopold was appealed to in 1900 by Mr. Morrison, who called attention to the atrocities committed on Congo natives. This appeal was acknowledged by the chief of the Cabinet, who said the letter was already being Investigated." Mr. Whyte says further: '.'The investigation and the punishment alike were a travesty on justice, No won der an appeal has been made to the heart and conscience of the people ot ,ngiana and America. The crimes to which Mr, Morrison calls attention are the outcome of a system of treatment of the natives which Is a flagrant violation of the Ber lin convention. The rights of natives and traders are invaded, hence the interests of commerce, humanity and religion claim the attention of the governments, of Great Britain and the United States."

WASHINGTON, May 14. Major William W. Williamson, of Savannah, connected with the National Guard of Georgia, had a conference with Secretary Root today regarding the Dick militia- law, and the question whether under it militiamen of one state might be called Into service in another state and made to do duty in the suppression of insurrections and strikes. Some, at least, of the Southern militiamen were opposed to being consid ered in ,the United States service for any such purpose. Secretary Root Informed Major William son that the Dick law did not change tho status of the militiamen In respect . to any service that they might be called on to perform. The duties and control of the militiamen, he said, were defined by the Constitution, and remained as tfiey had for more than 100 years. As to the sup pression of insurrections and disturbances by the United States Government, In which the Army of the United States would be .necessary, of course the regular Army would be employed. The Secre tary did not care to surmise beyond that point, or discuss what might happen In the event the regular Army was not suf ficient to meet any emergency which might arise.
