On the contrary the attendance, unanimity of opinion and enthusiasm of all present in the new organization surpassed all expectations. In his discourse in the morning at St. Peter's Cathedral Dr. M. J. Lavelle, rector of St. Patrick's Catholic Cathedral in New York, eloquently sounded the keynote in favor of the federation.

Mlnahan, presi dent of the Ohio federation, President Fries, Vice President Fitzgerald and others were all most enthusiastic in their speeches at the opening of the convention in the Auditorium, predicting good results for the society and the country, the address of Governor Nash being repeatedly cheered as he referred to the good work of the church for law and order and for the sup pression of anarchy. Addresses were made by Bishop Maes, of Covington, Ky.; Bishop Horstman, of Cleveland; Bishop McFaul, of Trenton, N. J., and Bishop Messmer, of Green Bay, Wis. Bishop Hortsman and Bishop McFaul spoke at length, the latter having a. care fully prepared address to thow that the federation proposed to advance benevolent, social and Christian work, and especially to assist the Catholic press and to dis seminate CathoMc literature.

Lest You Forget We Say It Yet Uneeda Biscuit MR. CARNEGIE'S PLAN STATEMENT OF CAHIIOLL I. WIIIKIIT, . COMMISSIO.EIl OF LAHOR. Proposed National I'nlversitr to lie Devoted to Research nnd Advanced (eneral Studies. WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-IIon. Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of the United States Department of Labor, to-day made th fol lowing statement as to Mr. Carnegie's en dowment of a national univeibity at Washington: "The general discussion which has been carried on flurin? the last twenty-fiv years in relation to the establishment of a national university in Wasl ington has cul minated in a magnificent plan and endow ment by Mr. Andrew Carnegie. For a number of years the university Hea held sway, but about two years ago the matter was taken up by the Washington Academy of Sciences, and this body, in co-operation with the George Washington Memorial Association, formulated a definite plan which differed radically from the univer sity plan contemplated in the earlier years. This resulted last spring, as was then pub lished. In the organization of the Washing ton Memorial Institution. The plan was, in brief, as follows: "First Organization. A private founda tion independent of government purport or control. "Second Objects: (a), to facilitate the use of the scientific and other resources of government for research: (b). to co-operats with universities. collfKes and individuals In securing to properly qualified persons opportunities for advanced ftudy and re search. "Dr. Daniel C. Gilman, ultimately presi dent of the Johns Hopkins University, was elected director of the Institution. When Mr. Carnegie came to consider the question of endowing a national unlversitj- at Washington, he Investigated the whole subject with his usual thoroughness, and found that an institution devoted to re search and the training of capable persons was more in accord with his conceptions than the establishment of a university that would be a rival of the already exist ing universities of the country. How far he was led to this conclusion by the work that had been done by the organizations la Washington Is unknown, but his action indicates that he had faith in the general plan that had been developed and crystal lized In that city. It is probable the Wash ington Memorial Institution will suspend Its operation, for it is understood that Mr. Carnegie's plan not only embrace all the proposed activities of the Institution, but goes far beyond these."

Three men who registered from Paria, France, were at the Spencer House yes terday, and it was said that they are rep resentatives of the Ficnch government, .come to the United States to purchase horses.
