Archbishop of Canterbury at Washing
ton, D. C.
Washington, Sept. 26.--Most Rev.
Thomas Randall Davidson, archbishop
of Canterbury, sounded stirring APP
peal for Christian unity at the open
air service held in the cathedral
grounds at Mount st. Adams Sunday
afternoon. Not since President Nc
Kinley was present at the erection of
the peace cross on the same spot after
the war with Spain, have as many peo-
pie gathered at the picturesque spot
The crowd was estimated at from TO-
600 to $4,000. Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. ].
w. Roosevelt, Miss Ethel Roosevelt
and the British ambassador Sir Henry
Mortimer Durand, with Mrs. Davidson,
General and Mrs. Chaffee and Mrs.
Hitchcock had seats to the right of
the platform and joined heartily in the
services.
Promptly at half past 3 o'clock the
top of the first professional cross was
sighted coming over the hill at the
head of long line of men and boys,
the combined vested choirs of the
Episcopal churches in Washington, fol-
lowed by the marine band, also in
vestments After the choir came the
clergy and then the visiting bishops,
including Bishops Nelson of Georgia;
Brent of the Philippines; Ferguson of
Africa; Doane of Albany, and Satter-
lee of Washington. Behind them all
came the archbishops party, his
chaplains, and in the rear, the arch
bishop in the brilliant red vestments Of
the primate of all England.
Awaiting them on the platform we're
prominent laymen, including J. p.
Morgan of New York; Secretary Hitch
cock and President Gilman of the Car
negie institute, and clergy from the
various protestant churches in Wash
ington. The long procession, to the in
spring tune of "My Country 'Tis of

GUS bodies represented. On the plat
form with the archbishop sat the visit

The versicles and opening prayers
were read by Bishop Nelson. Bishop
Ferguson read the Psalm and Bishop
Brent read the lesson. The sermon
was preached by the bishop of Albany.
Bishop Satterlee, after thanking the
archbishop for his presence and for
his coming across the water to show
his interest and earnest desire for
greater Christian unity, presented the

Send 100000 More Men.

IL is lnJ0nu0Q TO silence definitely all
talk of foreign Intervention by the an
nouncement that Russia means to fight
out the issue with Japan on the field
of battle. Probably 100000 additional
men will be placed in the field. Even
tually the creation of this second army
involves the selection of commander
in chief. Not only is there no intima-
tion in the rescript that General Kuro-
patkin will have command of both
armies, but he is distinctly placed upon
the same footing as General Grippen-
berg. In the best informed circles there
is little idea that Viceroy Alexieff, the
present nominal commander in chief,
will exercise the actual functions Of
commander of the 100000 or 100000
men that Russia has resolved to put in
the field.
1t is the best opinion that Grand
Duke Nicholas Michaelovitch. inspec-
tor general of cavalry, will attain the
high command, occupying in the war
with Japan the position held by his
father in the war with turkey. There
are various reports regarding Viceroy
Alexieff's ultimate destiny.
The dispatch of the grand duke as
commander of both armies would &C
cord with the traditions of the Roman
on dynasty, member of which i'm
perial family has always been in COM
mand in all of Russia's great wars.
General Grippenberg, commander of
the second army, was born in Janu-
airy, 1888. He is IL years older than
General Kuropatkin, but ranks three
numbers lower in the list of generals.
General Grippenberg is Lutheran in
religion.
While General Grippenberg's distin-
guished war record is sufficient to ex-
plain the appointment, it is believed
Prince Sviatopolk- Mirsky's recommen-
dalton did great deal in that direc-
ton.
1t is now evident that General Line
witch will remain in charge of the
Amur district, including the defenses
of Vladivostok.
Marks New Phase of War.
Russia's recognition of the fact that
the forces now in the far east can not
successfully prosecute the war against
the men Japan is able to put in the
field, and the knowledge that the latter
power is now mobolizing 100000 men
for the front, and the decision to re-
organize the Russian army upon a 81
gantic scale in order to be able to as
sumo the offensive quickly marks a
new phase of the war.
Within three months three corps are
expected to reach Hardin, swelling the
total number of Russian soldiers in
Manchuria to considerable over half
million.
The great struggle for mastery in the
far east now seems destined to assume
gigantic proportions.
General Kuropatkin deems it wise to
make pubic unofficial dispatches
which indicate that Marquis Oyama Is
slowly continuing to advance.
The emperor was in Odessa on Sep
TENDER 20.

NEGROES ON JuRiEs.

4 DECISION Of the United States SUI
Il preme court that is being eagerly
taken advantage Of in the south was
handed down some time ago in the case
Of Rogers against the state of Arkan-
sas. It was held that an indictment
against Rogers, charging him with
murder, a crime Of which he was adj
judged to be guilty. was invalid because
the grand jury contained no coIored
men, Rogers being himself a negro.
Rogers claimed that the discrimination
against colored grand jurors was in
violation Of the fourteenth amendment
and the court sustained the contention.
A Kentucky negro has taken an ap-
peal on similar grounds and there is
no telling what further complications
viii ensue. It is a well known fact
that in the south negroes are very
rarely permitted to serve on juries Of
any sort, grand or petit White meu
will resort to almost any scheme TO
avoid serving on d jury that contains
negro. From time immemorial
negroes have been indicted by white
men. tried by white men, found guilty
or discharged Or white men.

explicit, we hope no effort calculated to

And in this connection we desire to

10 wish more power TO his strong right

ed the police in the Inauguration Of

We wish there were more men in salt

were, fewer women would be insulted

be necessary. We do not believe there
is a court in Utah that would inhict
any penalty whatsoever ON man who

his life. On the contrary, we believe
any court into which such a matter
might be taken would dismiss the de-

want it 10 be very much better than
