A NEW GRADUATE SCHOOL. It Opened Last Might With an Address by President Welling Om the Science of Universal History, Considered as the Complement of the Physical Sciences. The new school of graduate studies In the Cotumbtan University was formally opened in the university building, corner of 15th and H streets, last evening. Dr. James C. Welling, president of the faculty, delivered the Inaugural address, his subject being “The Science of Universal History, Consid- ered as the Indispensable Complement of the Physical Sciences.” ‘The school of graduate studies comprises the highest branch of university studies— those leading to the degrees of master of sclence, master of arts, civil engineer, elec- wrical engineer, and doctor of philosophy. The students of this school are, therefore, wiready graduates, having the degrees of dachelor in science, arts or letters. The Columbian ts the only university in the city faving established s:ich a school. ‘The school of graduate stuHes was estab- shed by order of the corporation of the imiversity at the annual meeting in1392. ‘The faculty consists of James C.

National Museum; Ex ewia 8. instructor 1 Dr. Welling in the course of his address said: Everything in the universe is in flux, and therefore everything has a history, if we could but know it. The solar system has & alstory, and all the sciences set that his- tory in @ framework of periodic times and systematic tdeas. History is, therefore, the most comprehen- sive term of human knowledge. It is also the most distinctive term of human knowl- eige, because nature, through the whole Yast pyramid of organic being, is prophetic of man, “the roof and crown of things.” History, then, in its highest sense, must be @ record of man’s mental and creative ac. tivities on the face of the earth under the form of time. The science of universal history has for its object to impart unity to the collective con- sciousness of man, by ‘rehearsing the main elements of that consciousness in their log- ical, because in their chronological, order of evolution. What we may call the formula of evolution is seen today at its highest estate and highest activity in the advancing col- umns of the most advanced civilization. The work of creation is still going on, and is going on at the point of its highest ascension in the cosmic order of society. ‘The science of universal history is a rea- soned exposition of the creative activities ender whose pressure man has mioved for- ward from stage to stage in the subjugation of nature and in the development of his bumanitte The nu n mind, in the prosecution of scientific discovery, moves along the line of least resistance. The first sketch of the sci- ence of universal history was laid in the wort moral order, because the moral order of the world is more obtrusive on the reflective reason of man than the intellec- tual order of the world, considered in its relations. The first expositions of the moral order were the prophets of ‘The moral order implicit in the fam- ly was seen by them to be Implicit In the clan, in the tribe, in the confederation of ind was raised by them, for the first into the forms of an explicit and uni- versal statement as broad as humanity and as wide as the world. So sure were they of this moral order that they predicted its final supremacy in the reign of universal right- eousnesa. If Judea had a genius for morality, Greece had a gentus for letters and the fine arts, as Rome had a genius for arms and polity; but the anaiytical and constructive intellect of the Greeks, as well az the practical reason ef the politic Romans, failed to grasp the conception of progress or of universality in buman history. Ancient society in Greece and Rome was essentially heterogeneous and repellant. in its elements and in its constitution. The wall of partition between Greeks and bar- barians, between conquering Romans and their subject peoples, erected an impassable barrier to the very concept of human soll- darity. But, with the advent of Christian ity. a new ‘theory of history came to the front. Christianity brought into the world an enthusiasm for humanity, made that en- thusiasm as broad as the human race, and, in some of its later phases, exalted that enthusiasm even into a passion for martyrdom. First Sketches of Christian Philoso- phy. The first sketches of this Christian philos- ophy of history may be found in the writ- ings of Saint Eptphanius, of Saint Jerome and others, but especially in the elaborate expositions of Saint Augustine. We shall do something less than justice to this purely theological philosophy of history if we esti- mate its significance by the scientific value of the imperfect inductions on which it was based. It often appears to have been drawn from Scriptural texts, under a fanciful and | allegoric method of biblical exegesi§, but, in fact, these texts are simply used as pegs on which to hang the prevailing historical phil- esophy of the time. The philosophy of Saint Jerome and Saint Augustine continued to be in the main the pbilvsophy of the schoolmen, so far as they hai any philosophy of history at all during Wthe middie ages. During these ages the glements of human society were ground up from top to bottom, and the eapacity of men to think with generality In the sphere of human society was almost destroyed by the piecemeal structure of the feudal system. ‘The human race was waiting for new points of crystallization in soclety and polities. These new points of crystallization came with the renaissance, not, indeed, In the first flush of the rejuvenation it brought to the European mind, but in the sober thought- fulness which ‘came over the European mind In what we may call the autumn of the renaissance period. It was then that the human race may be said to have orientel itself by getting its bearings under universal history. This process of intellectual orienta- tion was effected in the seventeenth century, which must forever remain a most interest. ing period for the philosophy of history. It was then that the foundations of universal history were securely laid on the broad basis of the world’s collective knowledge. The | fact of the continuity of universal slowly dawned on the perception of a few penetrating and clear-sighted intellects, who Tose to challenge the pretensions of the Ancients In knowledge, and of the scholas- ties in philosophy. From the day when, to speculative minds, the line and law of continuity became vis- {ble in the phenomena of history, it was seen that these phenomena might not only be compared, but could be grouped in a serial and successive order. And when, at a later day, it @ to be conceived that the bond of connection between events in their series Of successions was a genetic connection, the science of universal history became possible, and not before. As it Is impossible to construe the actual facts of universal history, apart from the moral order lifted into consciousness by Judea, apart from the political order of Rome, apart from the religious order of Christendom, so hereafter, if must be im- Possible to construe the of human pro- gress apart from the physical sciences. The science of universal history has become to- @ay the indispensable complement of the Physical sciences, because that history has come and more to take its directive forces from positive science, » forces, in reacting upon men, have transformed the ¢ thought for this living gen- ea There are certain necessary facts and fon. ‘ory | have come to be laid on the generation — — itself a by science with such vastly augmented physical powers. It ts the obvious lesson of universal his- tory that the stream of tendency sets in all directions toward the control of the in- dividual man by the forces of the collective social tntelligence—not that the individual is to be “withered” by {t, but that he is to find only the freer and fuller play for all his faculties in a perfect science of sociol- ogy. Nor are we to fear, with Emanuel Kant, that the human race, after having made progress through the past ages, will some day begin to retrograde. The science of universal history has not wandered into “the dark backwood and abysm of time” to waft us back a message of despair. Prominent Educators Present. Prof. Monroe also delivered a few remarks. Many friends of the class were present, as well as many prominent educators, among the latter being Bishop Keane, Drs. A. J. Huntington, §. M. Shute, A. E.

Judge Advocate General Lemly, in his annual report to the Secretary of the Navy, Sives a detailed account of the operations of his ocice during the past year. There were ninety-nine general courts-martial ordered for the triat of thirteen officers and eighty-six enlisted men. Ten courts of inquiry and boards of investigation were ordered. Most of the trials were for deser- ticn. Scandalous conduct was the second most numerous offense. It is recommended that Congress take such action as may be necessary to enable naval courts-martial and courts of inquiry to summon civji'an witnesses whose testi- mony may be ‘required in order that the administration of justice may not be de- feated. Another recommendation is that the President be empowered to prescribe Umits of punishment which shall not be exceeded by naval courts-martial, In order to prevent a continuance of the present inequality of punishment resulting from suspension of officers from duty, as @ means of equalizing the sentences of officers, it is suggested that court-martial, in the case of an officer found guilty of an offense for which greater punishment is not deemed necessary, should, instead of sus- pending him from duty, sentence the ac- cused to be reduced a certain number of files, or to retain his present number on the list until he shall have lost a certain num- ber of files in his grade. It ts recommended that the act of Octo- ber 1, 189, regulating promotions in the army be made to apply to promotions in the navy. ralization of Enlisted Men. In @ chapter on the naturalization of en- Usted men in the navy the report says: “Section 2170 of the Revised Statutes of the United States provides that ‘no alien shall be admitted to become a citizen who has not for the continued term of five years next preceding his admission resided within the United States,’ and by section 26 it is further provided that ‘it shall be made to appear to the satisfaction of the court admitting such alien that he has re- sided * * © within the state or territory where such court is at the time held one year at least.’ “It would seem that upon considerations ef public policy naturalization laws should be so framed as to permit, if not to re- quire, enlisted men serving upon our vessels of war to become citizens of the United States. Instead, the statutory provisions above quoted practically deprive an en- Usted man who is an alien of the privilege ef becoming a citizen so long as he con- tinues in the navy. It is only by leaving the navy for a time, at least, and thus giv- ing up the advantages of continuous ser- vice, that such alien can become a citizen. Cases have recently come to the attention of this office wherein enlisted men have rendered honorable service in the navy for @ period of more than twenty years with- out becoming citizens of the United States. Section 2174 of the Revised Statutes ex- tends to any seaman who declares his in- tention to become a citizen of United States, and who shall have served three years on board a merchant vessel of the United States, subsequent to the date of Such declaration, the privilege of admis- sion to citizenship, and section 2166 provides that any alien of the age of twenty-one years and upward who has been honorably discharged from either the regular or vol- unteer forces of the United States army shall be admitted to become a citizen of the United States without any previous declaration of his intention to become such, upon proofs of one year’s residence within the United States previous to his application to become a citizen. “While the naturalization of our merchant seamen and of enlisted men serving in the army is thus properly provided for, the statutes contain no similar clause confer- ring like privileges upon enlisted men serv- ing upon our vessels of war. This is an unnecessary and unjust discrimination against enlisted men in the United States navy. The hardship resulting from this state of affairs ts increased by the follow- ing provision incorporated in the ‘act mak- ing appropriations for the payment of in- valid and other pensions of the United States for the Ascal year ending June 90, 1894, and for other purposes:” “That from and after June 1, 18%, no pension shall be paid to a non-resident, who is not a citizen of the United States, except for actual disabilities incurred in the service.’ “Tt {s recommended that the particular at- tention of Congress be invited to this sub- ject, in order that such legislation may be enacted as will correct the evils referred a —————_-2-____.

The Atlas, which arrived at New York yesterday brought @ little information about the attitude of the Costa Rica government in the matter of extraditing Lawyer ¥rancis H. Weeks, indicted in this country for grand larceny. The steamer left Port Limon on October 7. Capt. Low said that while at that place he heard that the chief objection against the extradi- tion of Weeks raised by the Costa Rica officials was the matter of indemnity. The government was afraid that should they surrender the man, in the event of his ac- quittal he would ‘bring suit for damages against Costa Rica, as there was no treaty authorizing his surrender. Should the United States government guarantee the payment of all possible claims of this nature, Costa Rica will hand the fugitive over to the detectives. DAMAGE ON THE CHESAPEAKE. The Loss to Shipping the Greatest Known in Recent Years. Reports recelved from points along the coast on the Chesapeake Bay show that the damage to shipping by the recent storm was the greatest known in many years. Sixteen small vessels are ashore near Mul- berry Point and nine of them will be total wrecks. Several lives were lost and a num- ber of sailors were injured by being caught under falling spars. ‘The bark Ravenswood is washed high upan the shore at Chicamicomico. There schooners were wrecked on Deat's Island and tvfo lives were lost. The Eritigh steamer Daylight, from New York to Wilmington, N. C., is ashore about a mile from Point Lookout.

Biennial Session of the Or- ganization Opened. Te second biennial convention of the World's W. C. T. U. began yesterday in Chicago. Lady Henry Somerset, who had journeyed especially from England in her capacity of vice president at large to repre- Sent Miss Willard, called the opening session to order. At the afternoon session the convention Fesolved itself into a mass meeting, under the presidency of Rev. Anna H. Shaw, and addresses were delivered by several foreign delegates, among them Lady Henry Somer- set of England; Miss De Broen, president of the French Women's Christian Temperance Union, and Sen Tsuda of Japan. Lady Somerset read, amid breathless silence, an address from Miss Frances Wil- Jard, dictated from her bed of sickness at her temporary English home. It was a gen- eral review of the work in sll parts of the world made in the cause of temperance by W. C. T. U. missionaries in different coun- tries. At the outset the paper referred to v. and|the origin of the movement in Epgland started by Mother Stuart, known as the reat crusader of Ohio, and afterward car- Tied on by several English and Scotch wo- men, notably Mrs. Margaret Parker of Edin- burgh, and Mrs. Margaret Bright Lucas, while latterly the moving spirit in the cause has been Lady Henry Somerset. Miss Wil- Jard also paid a fine tribute to the good work done by Miss Jessie Ackerman, Mrs, Eliza- beth Wheeler and Mrs. Dr. Kate Bushnell. ‘That part of her address which related to the women of India, and described the cruel- ties of caste which prevail there, was very pathetic, but she said that much good had been accomplished in that land by the W. C. T. U,, and the bold and fearless denunci- ation of the system of legalized vice main- tained by the government had resulted in the appointment of a royal commission to inquire into the whole subject. The out- come of this ts likely to be the breaking up of that infamous system. After strongly condemning the opium and rum traffic in India, Miss Willard continues: “I am glad that the pledge of the World's W.-C. T. U. includes opium as well as alco- hol, and I would also, if I had the power, make it include the same pledge that is in- volved by the White Cross and White Shield obligation. It will then have a world-wide basis, and commend itself to the common sense, personal indorsement of all reason- able men and women. In commenting on the address Lady Henry Somerset said that the British general in charge of the army in India made a public apology to the women who had made cer- tain statements regarding the system of legalized vice practiced in India, and the re- sult of the agitation set on foot was likely to, create a new idea in the whole movement. At last night's session devotional exercises were conducted by Mrs. J. K. Barney, and the third and fourth around-the-world mis- sionaries, Mrs, Elizabeth Wheeler Andrew and Dr. Kate Bushnell, delivered addresses, narrating what had been accomplished in the cause of temperance during the past two years. —— ——-+ee_____ THE CARDINAL'S JUBILEE.

New Dangers Manifested Themsclves During the Storm in Brooklyn. ‘The violent wind storm which swept over Brooklyn early Saturday morning, says the New York Recorder, played havoc with the trolley system and served to illustrate new dangers to which the people are sub- jected by the presence of deadly trolley wires overhead in the streets. Explosions and electric displays equal in brilliancy to the electric fountains at the world's fair surprised hundreds of people in the neigh- borhood of City Hall shortly after mid- night. ‘The trouble occurred at the junction of Washington, Fulton and Court streets and Myrtle avenue, at a point where nearly all the trolley lines meet, and where cars switch onto the single track leading to the bridge and ferry. A Greenpoint car bound from the bridge turned from Fulton street to run on the tracks of the Myrtle avenue’ line, and when just across the tracks of the ‘DeKalb avenue line, which intersect at this point, there were two sharp explosions which could be heard a long distance. There were very few passengers in the car,and on account of the inclemency of the weather only a few hundred pedestrians were on hand to witness the display. ‘There was a scampering as soon as the first explosion occurred, and from a safe distance the people stood and watched the dangerous electric wires play tricks. After the explosions and after the car had cover- ed a few feet of space a column of fire shot out from the top of the trolley pole, and a spout of fire like that from a Roman candle issued from under the forward truck of the car. The passengers in the car at this time were thoroughly aroused, and they jumped and ran down adjacent streets as If pur- sued by a bolt of lightning. The motorman and conductor stuck to their posts, but they acted as if they would rather take to their heels. . The car moved a few fect further, and as it came in contact with the charged wires of the DeKalb avenue line there was a rapid succession of loud explosions. The trolley wire for blocks became hea‘ed, and glared in the darkness like a string of liquid flame. The people along the line ‘an in all directions, and for a distance cf several blocks jets of electricity could be seen is- suing from the top and bottom of the car. ‘Traitic was suspended for some time, and {t was not until the current on the section had been shut off that the electric display stopped. The trolley~wire luckily held to- gether. If the wire had dropped to the street the lives of many people would have been imperiled, as the red-hot and fully charged wire would have swept a radius of over fifty feet like a serpent. The damp- ness of the ground would have caused the wire to twist and turn in every conceivable direction HORSFORD’S ACID PHATE / Gross of Oregon, Bishop Chappelle of Santa | P®!

Bishop Keane’s Reply to the Attack Made on the Institution. Last week the New York Herald printed an abstract of an article in the Civilta Cat- tolica, written by Rev. Father Brondi, in which the writer sald: I had occasion to converse today with one of the most eminent Jesuits in Rome, one of those who has lived for a long time in the United States. I asked him to tell me how much truth there was in the reported hostility of the Jesuits to the University of Washington. His reply was as follows: “It ts not exact to say that we are making war on the University of Washington, but it must not be forgotten that for a century past the Jesuits have had a flourishing unt- versity. When there was a question of es- tablishing a Catholic University in Washing- ton the Jesuits pointed out that it would be better to locate the projected university in some other city, as there was already such an institution in Washington. No at- tention was paid to this objection. What has happened? The Jesuit University at present is attended by 600 students, while that recently founded by the priests and bishops has only eighteen.” Bishop Keane's Reply. Yesterday the Herald printed the follow- ing reply to the above attack by Bishop Keane, the rector of the Catholic Univer- sity: “I dislike extremely to have even, the ‘lightest appearance of being at variance with the Jesuits. But from what quarter Ssoever an unjust attack on the university may emanate, the responsibility of my office demands that 1, should repel it. ‘The state- ment in question is simply a clever bit of misrepresentation, for which I would be very sorry to hold the Jesuits in general, or Georgetown College in particular, respon- sible. The best answer to it is a simple Presentation of the facts of the case. “In the year 1866 all the Catholic bishops of the United States were assembled in the second plenary council of Baltimore. They were perfectly acquainted with Georgetown College. They paid a well deserved tribute to the schools and colleges of the country. They concluded, however, that the day might soon come when the establishment of a real university would be practicable. In 1884 all the bishops of the United States were again assembled in the third plenary, council. They knew that Georgetown Col- lege had in the meantime been styled a university and that schools of medicine and law had been opened in Washington under {ts auspices. They nevertheless considered that the establishment of such an educa- EDUCATIONAL. EDUCATIONAL IN WASHINGTON. IN WASHINGTON.

They added a decree, which was afterward emphatically reiterated by the Pope, that ‘the university should never be under the exclusive direction of any relig- fous order, but should be open to all and be oe by the united episcopate of the count “In 1886 Archbishop Ireland and I were delegated by the board of directors of the proposed university to submit to the judg- ment of the holy see ail the decisions ar- rived at in regard to the undertaking. In our interview with the holy father he. told us that the University of Georgetown had been placed before him as an argument against the new project. Yet, after months of deliberation, the pope decided that the university was to be established, and gave ‘his solemn approval to the constitutions framed for al its future development. He also declared his wish that it should be lo- cated in Washington. Considering, how- ever, the importance of this question, he directed Cardinal Gibbons to ask the vote of all the bishops of the United States in regard to it. This was done, and the de- cision of the bishops was so overwhelm- ingly in favor of Washington that the board of directors made this their unani- mous vote, to the great satisfaction of the “The new university and Georgetown were to stand on totally different levels, and therefore ought not to conflict. The ideal of this university is not for a college for boys, no matter how excellent and no matter how many other courses might be added to it, but an institution lke the Johns Hopkins University in this country or Louvain in the old world. The total di- versity of the institutions is manifest at present, when only our faculty of divinity has been organized, but it will be no less so even when we shail have added our facul- {les of medicine and law. For we do not intend to establish gnly_night schools, at- tended mostly by grown men otherwise et ployed during the day, but regular day schools like those of Harvard and Yale, and, therefore, again leaving no room for reasonable conflict. “As to the number of our students, the author of the Bttack in question ought to have known, if he did not, that his state- ment was, to say the least, the insinuation of an untruth. In the first place, our stu- dents have always been nearly double the number alleged, and, with the students in the Paulist and Marist colleges, who at- tended many of our courses, about three times the number assigned. Im the next place, our students are exclusively post- graduate divinity students, and it is re- markable that they have ‘been from the very beginning as numerous as the post- graduate divinity students in the Catholic University of Louvain or in the Catholic university or institute of Paris. To hold up the number of our post-graduate divinity students for unfavorable comparison with the number of college boys, medical stu- dents and law students in any other insti- tution is simply not honest. “In conclusion, I repeat that we have no need to antagonize any other institution, and we have no desire to quarrel with any one, but we have nothing to fear, and we cannot remain silent in covert attacks so often made of late on an institution so solemnly founded by the pope and the episcopate of the United States, and whose course is constantly directed by their supervision.” a . GOUNOD STRICKEN DOWN. ‘The Composer of “Faust” Falls Apoplectic Fit. Charles Francols Gounod, the composer of the opera “Faust,” was stricken with apoplexy Sunday at his house in St. Cloud, near Paris. ‘M. Gounod attended mass Sunday morn- ing, and apparently enjoyed his usual health. In the afternoon the organist, Con- turan, and several singers went to his house. Gounod joined them in the perform- ance of his requiem mass. He sang with great earnestness and full power. Almost at the last note his voice faltered and he fell to the floor. He was stricken at 4:30 o'clock. Sketch of Gounod’s Career, Charles Francois Gounod was born at Paris on the 1th of June, 1818, Having studied at the Conservatoire under Halevy, the composer of “La Juive,” as well as un- der Lesueur and Pauer, he soon rose to eminence, and received, when only nine- teen years of age, the second and two years later the first prize of the French Insti- tute. Sent to Rome at the government's expense, he devoted himself chiefly to ec- clesiastical music. In 183 he visited Vi- enna, Austria, where he distinguished him- self by performances composed in the style of Palestrina. After his return to Paris he was appointed musical director of a church choir and adopted the monastic garb. His reappearance in public was signalized by a number of unsuccessful performances of operatic compositions, until, in 1%9, his first important work, “Faust,” at once raised him to the foremost rank among French composers. This was followed, in rapid succession, by other works, songs, masses, psalms and motets. His oratories, “Redemption,” “Mors et Vita,” (Death and Life), 2 mass for the Joan a'Arc festival and “St. Cecilia Mass”are among his lat and best compositions. After along 80- journ in London he finally returned to Paris. ———e Soldiers Who Wear Medals. Adjt. James I. Christiancy opened in New ‘York yesterday the fourth national encamp- ment of the surviving soldiers to whom were given medals of honor granted by special act of Congress to all officers and enlisted men in the army and navy who so distinguished themselves in action by deeds of personal bravery that they were deemed worthy of some distinct mark of recogni- tion from the nation. Only 500 of these medals were awarded, and less than 200 of these picked men are now living. Those survivors form the Medal of Honor Legion, and now they are gathered in New York to transact the bus- iness of the order, and to enjoy a complete social union. The following officers were elected: Com- mander, Gen. James P. O’Beirne of New York; senior vice commander, Co}. Robert L.
