WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The Catholic Uni
versity was dedicated to-day with all the
pomp and splendor BETTING the occasion.
Much of the programme, however, had to be
omitted because of the inclement weather,
and only that part that was designed to occur
indoors was carried out. To-day the highest
prelates of the Catholic church on the West
ern Hemisphere, and the most distinguish ed
laymen In its fold, gathered at the Univer-
sity to grace the occasion by their presence.
At II o'clock Cardinal Gibbons and the
Catholic prelates and delegates from the
Catholic convention at Baltimore arrived.
The religious ceremonies began at half-past
II o'clock in the chapel with the chanting of
the HYMN to the Holy Ghost, Veni Creator
Spiritus, by two hundred and fifty students
of st. Mary's seminary and st. Charles COL
lege. The chapel was not sufficient to hold
one-hundredth part Of those who sought adj
mission. On both sides of the altar were
nenee Cardinal Gibbons and the left by His
Eminenee Cardinal Taschereau Of Quebec.
After the hymn to the Holy Ghost had
been chanted Cardinal Gibbons proceeded
from the chapel and going to the outer door
formally blessed the university. After the
dedication the cardinal resumed his position
at the right of the altar and the seminarians
then chanted the Miserers. Shortly after 10
o'clock Most Rev. Monsignor Satolli, arch
bishop of Lepanto and special representative
of the Pope at the Baltimore centennial and
at the dedication ceremonies, began the cell
ebration in the chapel of pontifcial mass of
the Holy Ghost. The assistant priests at the
mass were: w. Magher, D. D., of Hartford,
Conn.,; deacon, Rev. O. S. Sheehan of Buf-
falo; sub-deaeon, Rev. T. Kennedy of Phila-
delphia.
Father MeCallan was the master of core
monies and was assisted by Revs. NJ. Curley
and Nolen of St. Mary's seminary, Baltimore
The acolytes were Rev. John Lang and
Joseph Sellinger, both of st. Louis.
RI. Rev. R. Gilmour, bishop Of Cleveland,
preached the sermon.

ed an overflow audience in one Of the large
lecture rooms.
Secretaries Blaine and Rusk arrived about
1880 O'Clock and were shown to parlors at the
right of the main entrance.
Bishop Gilmour said knowledge and
doctrine will be the objective work of this
institution. Civilization ia limited only by
education, and it is a significant fact that
from the beginning religion and education
have been linked hand In hand. A higher
motive than to assist at the dedication of
this building to the mere cultivation OF the
| arts and sciences, valuable though they are,
has brought here to-day the chief magis-
trate of of this great republic, these high
dignitarIes of church and state, and this dis
tinguished audience of the laity. The build
ing has Just been blessed and forever
dedicated to the cultivation of the science of
seiences-the knowledge of God.
Secretaries Tracey, Noble and Window and
Attorney General Miller arrived in time to
participate in the banquet which took place
after one o'clock.
Covers were laid for about $50 guests.

head of the table and on his right

Gibbons vis-a-vis was Secretary Blaine, who
was fanked by Arehbishops Ryan, Williams
and Duhamel on the left and Secretaries
Tracy and Rusk on the right. Bishop Keens
acted as POSTMASTER. The first toast "His
| Holiness Pope Leo KILL" was responded to
by the Most Rev. Mgr. Satolli, the represent
| tative of the Pope, who spoke in Latin. SEQ
| rotary Blaine, in responding to the toast
| "Our Country and Her President" said:
81 come to represent the United States,

| partisan sense, nor in connection with any
church or sect, but to speak for all and the
