Delivers Tribute to Carnegie.
The ceremonies were opened with
singing by a number of choral So
cieties, after which NJ. A. P. c. Van
Karnebeak, president of the Carnegie
foundation committee, delivered an
address in which he paid a tribute
to the generous man whose name is
engraved upon the first stone of the
edifice due to his muniicence The
thoughts and the thanks of everyone
went out, the speaker said, to Car
negie in his Scottish home. Sketching
the history of the donation and de-
scribing the plans of the peace palace,
NJ Van Karnebeak concluded his ad-
dress with these words:
This is to be a palace of interna-
tional justice, founded as an outcome
of the need of every civilized country
to substitute the rule of right for the
rule of might. In this palace no one
will be stronger and no one weaker
than the other, and no blade except
the sword of justice will be placed in
the, scale. The power of the palace
will point to the stars, indicating the
ideal of our Efforts
In speech that preceded the actual
laying of the stone NJ Nelidoff ex-
pressed the gratitude of the delegates
to tie donor of the palace and to the
Netherlands government for the gift
of the land upon which the edific is
to be erected. The palace, he said,
would be-a monument to the first eff
forts made by the governments of
the world to preserve for the nations
the benefits of peaceful development
by seeking to prevent wars.
Building is Almost Sacred.
The speaker said he wished to
emphasize the almost sacred charac-
ter OF the proposed building. He said
it presented new principle in the re-
lations of people-peace by justice and
right NJ. Nelidoff referred to the
antiquity of the worship of war and
said there had never been a cult of
peace in the world. OF all the pre-
cepts preached by the Savior 1900
years ago the idea of peace had been
the most neglected.
ITO make this idea triumphant
the honor therefor accrues to the En-
peror of Russia-the governments Of
the world must agree to study in COM
mon a means of making universal
peace reality by seeking severy pos
sibility of assuring its maintenance.
/ venture to say NJ. Nelidoff con-
tinued, that this new cult has been
established in the world, and it was
Andrew Carnegie, inspired by the
great humanitarian idea springing
therefrom and the good it promises to
the world, who conceived the thought
of dedicating to this cult a special
edifice which he is fully justified in
calling Temple of Peace
Let us wish that this cult will
spread more and more, both among
governments and peoples. and that the
monumental tower which will crown
this edifce will point out to the ma.
tions, like a lighthouse. the road of
right and justice"
Disappointment is felt because
Queen wilhelmins who is at. The
Hegue, was not present at the cere-
monies. It is reported that the real
reason for her absence Is to be found
in a dispute which arose regarding
the choice of site for the palace.
Real estate spectators are accused
Of having influenced the selection Of
the spot at Zorgrliet.
