NEW HONOR FOR ROOSEVELT.
Made First Vice President of .
Church Federation.

SYRACUSE. Nov. 14.-Gov. Theodore
Roosevelt was today elected first vice
president of the newly organized Church
Federation of the State of New York
Previous to the election of officers there
had been sharp skirmsh over the ques-
tion of admitting Catholics EpiscopaIiau.
and Unitarian Churches to the Fedora
ton, some OF the delegates being bitterly
opposed to the admission of any but So
called evangelical churches. The atti-
tude OF Governor Roosevelt on this mat
ter was made plain in last nights sermon,
when in his address to the delegates he
told how he had aided in founding a Cath
Ollie Church at Oyster Bay and exclaimed
in his enthusiasm:
And when the first Catholic priest
came there. the Rev. Father BelfOrd. |
was swfully glad to help him out. Yes,
by Jove, l was proud to help church
that started out with as fine i little
priest as that
The trouble arose over the proposed in
sertiOn of the word evangelical into that
clause of the constitution which fixed the
qualifications Of membership. Rev. j. W.
Hegcman, of New York. said it would be
unwise to put any word in the constitu-
ton that would offend any body of
churchmen. Rev. Drs. Packard and Zim-
merman OF syracuse fought fer the elm
nation of the word, Dr. Zimm rman cit
ing the cooperation of the Catholics with
the Protestant clergy in closing the sa-
looms in Syracuse several years ago.
Rev. A. b. Colt and Rev. W. Fl. Main. of
Syracuse did not want anybody admitted
who denied the Messia ship of Jesus
Christ. On the vote to incorporate the
word evangelical the resolution was
lost II to 50. The Rev. f. H. Stebbins

THE STOCKTON AGROUND.
The Torpedo BOat Runs Ashore Near
Annapolis.

The torpedo boat Stockton has gone
ashore near Annapolis and there are fears
at the Navy Department that she will suf-
fer considerably before she can be floated.
The following telegram on the subject was
received at the Navy Department yesterday
afternoon from Commander Wainwright,
Superintendent of the Naval Academy:
Annapolis, Nov. 1i.-Stockton came in
about last night and about this morning
she dragged ashore on Horn Point. We
have removed about ten tons OF coal and
other material, but do not think she can
be floated until wind shifts. as floodtide is
greatly affected by northwest wind
The Stockton was built by the William
r. Trigg Shipbuiiding Company of Rich
mond and had gone TO Annapolis for her
official trial. The members CT the trial
board left Washington Tuesday on tine
despatch boat Sylph and reached Annapolis
yesterday. AS the Stockton had not been
turned over to the Government and was in
charge of employees of the Trigg company
that concern will have to stand the ex-
pense of repairing her. II saved she will
be obliged to go into dock for repairs and
the trial trip must be postponed indefi-
nitely.
The Stockton has been unfortunate in her
brief career on the water. She was COM
pieted last summer and started from Rich
mond for Annapolis to be tried by the Gov
eminent board. When near Fort Monroe
she collided with a coal barge and received
injuries which required extensive repair
Ing. These repairs had just been COM
pleted. The Stockton was the first war
vessel built at the Trigg shipyards
