Busch of st. Louis who has donated In
various instaIlments the sum Of 500. O0C

Museum at Harvard University, was
prevented by illness from being present
today at the ceremonies in connection
with the laying Of the corner stone Of the
museum building. His address in reply
to expressions of thanks for his dona-
tons was read by Hugo Raisinger OF
New York. and follows in part:
your Excellency, Mr.. President. and
Gentlemen:
II thank you for your generous appre-
citation of what I have done for the Ger
manic Museum.
Il can assure you nothing has given
me a greater pleasure than to be able to
do what I have done. for 1 consider this
museum an undertaking In which every
American of German descent should take
a special pride and which every one of
us should make 1t patriotic duty to
help along, each according to his means
Just consider for a moment what the
Germans in Germany have done for this
cause.
Help of German Emperor.
THE German emperor. that far-sighted
and high-minded ruler who has done
more for the preservation Of the worlds
peace than perhaps any other statesman
of our day-the German emperor, as
soon as he heard Of this museum prof.
ect, at once recognized in 1t an oppor-
tunity to show his good will for America
and accordingly lent his powerful and
generous help to it. He was followed
by other German princes, the King Of
Saxony, the Prince Regent OF Bavaria
and the Prince Regent of Brunswick.
ION the other hand, we German-Amer-
cans have every reason to do what We
can to bring to its contamination an I'M
dertaking which appeals both to our al
Iegiance to the country of our choice and
TO our love for the land of our birth. We
have found in this country the realization
of hopes and aspirations which, to many
of us at least would have been denied in
our old home. We have found here great
err opportunity for work on a large scale;
we have found here a better chance for
the average man to rise above the re-
strictions of class and tradition: we have
found here a public life based upon the
ideals of political freedom and civic inde-
pendence.

on the ground that the telegraph was a

believe 1t, and he also believed the news of

offered a resolution stating that "Mr Van

on the first ballot is elected as the nomi-

a delegate from Pennsylvania attempted
to stampede the convention into nominal

greater and greater. and the chairman
finally saved the day by arbitrarily ao-

Saunders Immediately moved the adop-
ton Of the rules of the national conven-
tions Of 1882 and 1885. This meant moth
ing more nor less than the readoption of
the two-thirds rule. The opposition to
Van Buren, included many of the south
ern delegates who had been instructed to
vote for him. He would have the ma
jority on the first ballot. for these dele
gates must follow their instructions. But.
if the two-thirds rule could be enforced,
these same delegates could, after few
ballots. with good grace desert Van Buren,
and go to some other man. That this was
the whole purpose OF the Saunders mo-
ton to readopt the rules of 1882 and 1885
was manifest to every one of the 266 dele
gates present
The Saunders motion was set aside al

rule found it's chief champion in Robert

opponent in Benjamin F. Butler of New
