DR.. Satterlee went on to say that the Episcopal
Church is peculiarly fitted to build National
thedral. because it combines In itself Protestant
and Catholic tendencies and is the lneal descend
ant and successor OF the primitive Church, as 1t
was in the first four centuries before Church and
State were ever heard of and before the medieval
novelties of Roman Catholicism had appeared.
1t stands for the principle Of rrevocabe separation

DR.. satterlee spoke of the work necessary before
the Cathedral can be accomplished fact with all
the pomp and power needed for the proper carrying
out of it's projected influence and then made an ap-
peal for aid for the school started in connection
with the Cathedral that is to be. He continued:
Mrs. Phoebe 4. Hearst has generously given a
building for Cathedral school for girls, IN which
the highest and best kind of education is to be af-
forded This school is complete. and Will be opened
in the autumn but before that is done there is a
debt $4,000 upon the Cathedral land that should
be cleared OFF We hope that the whole amount will
be raised this winter
DR.. Satterlee told of many women who had told
him they Roman Catholics because OF the in
ffuences of the schools at which they were
educated. and said that when the Episcopal School
is opened he hoped never again to hear such a
statement from a of Episcopal descent

TO RETAIN SENATE OFFICIALS

Washington, Jan. % (speciaD.-It is well un-
derstood that there will be sweeping change
of Senate officials Such a thing has at time
been in contemplation. and it would be contrary
to the practice and spirit of the body. AS is
usual the more necessary and important of the
subordinate places under the Secretary of the
Senate and the Sergeant-at-Arms will be re-
tained. 1t is said that eight or ten of these
have been agreed upon and that no question
will be raised over the matter. Among these are
men who have grown gray in the service, but
who are yet bodily and mentally vigorous. Amzi
Smith, the chief Of the document room, is con-
sdered indispensable and fixture of the Senate
