My DEAR Mr. KEEcH: have, as YOU
know, purchased copy of Grams Atlas
OF the World. find it all and more than
expected. 1t seems to me to possess
several features which | have not found
in any other atlas. Irefer to the topo-
graphical maps, the simplicity, clearness,
and yet fullness of the general maps, and
the very complete series of hisl orical
maps. The maps of cities also appear to
me to be more than usually distinct and
easily used.
| can very heartily recommend the
work as exceedingly useful and instruct
i've.

furnished by Young's orchestra Of St.

song opened the great convention.
Admittance to the Pro-Cathedral was by
ticket Every seat was occupied, and many
persons were unable to get within. An
hour or more before the cathedral doors
We're opened many of the bishops had
reached their desks in the basement where
the deliberations of the congress will be
conducted. They received their mail. greet
ed late arrivals and prepared for the OPEN
ing services.
The procession formed on the 18th street
side of the Pro-Cathedral and marched
around to the front. AS it entered the au-
dltor1um the congregation arose and re-
ma1ned standing until il reached the chan
eel.
The vested choir led the way. the bishops
following. The choir took "A position on a
platform to the right of the chanceI With
In the chancel seats were provided for the
bishops of longest service while the 9TH
ers occupied the first few rows of seats in
front.
The Right Rev. Daniel Sylvester futile,
who was consecrated bishop of Missouri
in 1867, and who has served as bishop
longer than any of his confreres, conduct
ed the services.
He was assisted by Bishop Satterlee of
the District of Columbia, Archbishop Nut
tall of the West Indies and Bishop Hunt
ington of central New York.
Bishop Tuttle opened the services with
prayer, after which he read the scriptural
lesson, which was from the nineteenth

ted the contention of the United States to
International arbitration. He did agree TO
the method which brought about the settle
ment, because he thought it was wisest and
best In selecting the American commits
sioners he chose men whose firmness and
fairness were characteristics, and upon
whom he could depend to do what was
right under all circumstances.
Heartily Congratulated.
At the cabinet meeting today the Presl-
dents satisfaction was increased by the
hearty congratulations of his advisers
They, too, look upon the American victory
as great one and as shedding luster over
the administration, which has SO easily
and with so little friction succeeded in do
ing what many administrations failed to
do.
The President does not regard the de-
cision in favor of the Canadians on the
