 Principal Speaker.

Stony Point. N. Y., Oct 2-The monument of the Madness of Mad Anthony" Wayne. the revolutionary general, who led a successful attack against apparently hopeless odds and Great Bfiiain's Stony Point strong- hold, 130 years ago, was deditaled here today as one of the opening events of the upstate Hudson-Fulton celebration.
 The monument, great memorial arch built of the rough stone over which Wayne led his raw colonial troops, stands on commanding emin- ence of the rugged promontory where the battle occurred. The site is now a state park.
 Governor Hughes was the principal speaker today. He said in part:
 We celebrate today the madness that makes history and empires inc madness that has given us the Ameri- can republic and will cause it to en- dure; the madness that must per. meate the American people and res cue them from the pitfalls of their overwhelming prosperity.
 "On this spor occurred one of those rare exploits in which strategy and bravery reached their highest level of attainment No finer exhibition of unilinching courage and of supreme devotion to the cause of liberty has been given to the world.
 We lose the meaning of occasions such as this if we ragard them as the exclusive properts of any one state, or section, or period The whole ma. ton Is here today, brought face to face again with it's obligations and privileges. As a nation we are trying to work out before the world the great new problems of institutions recog- nized equally before the law. Let us go forth resolved to win as Wayne effecting self and forcing. not the odds against us Let lis go forth resolved that in our day and generation the Actresses of avafice and seltishness and coveteousness shall be taken and the nation realize to large degree the ideals of human brotherhood"

 The British government admits fully the seriousness Of the situaiion For months past. it has been trying to top the importation of arms and it Us quite likely that blockade of fine Persian buff through which this tlaf- fic is carried on, may be undertaken. Should a war with Afghanistan re- |sult, it is considered here that the entente wish Russia would make 1t much less formidable than before, and frontier officers express the belief that a British force could be in Kabul a fortnight after crossing the frontier.
