PRESIDENTS HAPPY SPEECH
THREE HUNDRED EPISCOPAL
BISHOPS PRESENT.
In Clerical Robes, Accompanied by
Choir Boys, They March to the
Summit of Mount st.
Adams.
Special Dispatch to Tho Call.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23-A most i'm
pressive ceremony in this city was the
unwilling to-day of the peace cross on
the summit of Mount st. Adams, the
site of the new Episcopal cathedral
This ceremony was in lieu Of the laying
of the cornerstone of the edifice. which
will be known as the Cathedral Of
SITS. Peter and Paul.
President Mckinley was present and
delivered a brief address. Many other
distinguished men, including 300
Bishops and other high dignitaries Of
the church, were present 1ney
marched in solemn procession In their
clerical robes, accompanied by choir
boys Of the different churches OF the
city. An audience Of many thousands
was present.
Bishop Satterly delivered the address
of welcome, while the sermon was by
Bishop Doane. The drapery was
dropped from the stone while President
Mckinley was speaking.
Mount St Adams is some distance
from the city proper, but it overlooks
the capital and from its site the many
public buildings, the domes of the
Capitol and Congressional Library and
the Washington monument are plainly
visible. The situation, the surround
ings and a beautiful day combined to
make the scene inspiring and the oc-
casion impressive.
The President rose and said: 'I ap
preciate the very great privilege given
me to participate with this ancient
church by it's Bishops and its laymen
in this new sowing for the Master and
for men. Every undertaking like this
for the promotion Of religion and edu-
cation is a positive gain to citizen
ship, to country and civilization And
in this single word l speak 1 wish for
this sacred enterprise the highest in
f1uence and the widest usefulness"
While the President spoke the
drapery of red, white and blue was re-
moved, revealing a huge Ionian cross,
twenty feet high, cut from a single
stone.
After a chant by the choir. Bishop
Whipple read a special prayer of
thanksgiving for victory.
Bishop Doane in the course Of his
sermon said: II am speaking here in
the name of all Americans. The cross
here unveiled stands on mount which
bears a name holy to all English
speaking people. 1t overlooks the
capitol Of a great nation Of free men.
The chief magistrate of our great coun-
try has added the dignity of his most
assembly has gathered. I take it that
there is here to-day in this assembly
the only union that can exist between
the church and state in this country"
He spoke of the suggestiveness of the
peace cross, the peace which had come
to the nation and which was comment
grated by the cross.

when misapplied, and its misapplication
is frequent enough, heaven knows,
without charging that there is no door
closed against it when it brings no
other credential than itself. That is
not true here nor anywhere else. Not
all the world, by any means, is on its
marrow bones to wealth The .'Specta-
tor is right in conceding that modern
wealth is grossly vulgar often, dishon-
est more often, selfish still oftener, ri
diculous frequently. But, as the New
York Post" summarizes its response:
The Spectator overwhelms Lord
Beresford with historical disproof or
his right to praise the past at the ex-
pense of the present, and asserts that
the only difference, if one exists, is in
manners. not morals. Birth, it says,
has ceased TO be regarded except by
the few with an antiquarian turn OF
mind, because it now gives neither
power nor privilege. Hard cash, which
gives both, is alone really desired. The
baseness, in fact, is no greater-is per-
haps less, for the interests of the COM
munity are less often sold; but the
whole base business has been vulgariz-
ed TO an unprecedented degree, while
the bribed crouch lower because the
bribers, having no other kind of dig
nifty, demand obsequious Difference that
they may feel that they have become
dignified.
