Most Rev. Thomas Randall Davidson, Archbishop of Canterbury, Bounded n stirring appeal for Christian unity at the open air service held In the Cathedral grounds at Mount Saint Albans this afternoon. Not since Preddent McKinley wss present at the erection of the Peace Cross on the same spot after the war with Spain have as many people gathered at the picturesque spot. The crowd was estimated at from thousand. Mrs. twenty to twenty-fiv- e Roosevelt, Mrs. J. West Roosevelt, Miss Ethel Roosevelt and the British Ambassador, Sir Henry Mortimer Durand, with Mrs. Davidson, General and Mrs. Chaffee and Mrs Hitchcock, had eats to the right of the platform and Joined heartily in the service. Promptly at half past three o'clock the top of the first processional cross was sighted coming over the hill at the bead of n long line of men and boys, the combined vested choirs of the Episcopal churches In Washington, followed by the Marine band, also In vestments. After the rhoir came the clergy and then the visiting bishops, h. Including Bishops Nelson of Georgia, Brent of the Philippine, Ferguson of Africa; Doans of Albany and Scatter-le- e of Washington. Behind them all came the Archbishop's party, his chaplains, his crucifer, and In the rear the archbishops In the bright vest- ments of the primeale of all England. Awaiting them on the platform ware promlaent laymen, including J. P. Morgan, Secretary Hitchcock and clergy from the various Proteatqnt churches In Washington. The long procession to the Inspiring tune of My Country Tlii of Thee made their way with dignified steps to the seats reserved for the various bodies represented. On the platform with the Archbishop eat the visiting clergy, the bishops and the Archbiahop'e chaplains. The verelcle and opening prayers were reed by Bishop Nelson. Bishop Ferguson read the psalm, and Bishop Brent read the lesson. Tne sermon was preached by the Bishop of Albany. He made a strong plea that nil Christians walk worthy of their calling. He deprorated the continental idea of the Sabbath, and said that If people were not more appreciative of a Sunday which should be a Holy day as well aa a holiday, the time would come when commerce would step In and make of it a working day like the other six. Bishop Satteriee, after thanking the Archbishop for hla presence and for bis coming across the water to ehow his interest and earnest desire for greater Christian unity, presented the Primate, who made n brief address. The A rchhl shops salutation follows: "My friends. I am called upon and privileged to give you on this great occasion at all events to me what the paper In your hands culls n 'Salutation.' I give It to yon from n full heart In the Holy name of Him whom, amid all our differences, we nerve, our living Lord and 8ariour, Jesus Christ. It Is not a little thing to me to be allowed In that name to greet you here here at the very pivot and center of a national life which for 130 years has had liberty for Its watchword and has for more than forty years everywhere, striven to make the world good. A vision rises before our eyes today wbercunto thla thing, with nil that It Implies, may grow. It haa been folks.

It la the best opinion that Grand Duke Nicholas Michaeolovltrh, inspector general of cavalry, will attain the high command, occupying In the war with Japan the position held by his father In the war with Turkey. There are various reports regarding Viceroy Alexieff's ultimate destiny. It is declared In soma quarters that he will be recalled and Grand Duke Nicholas become viceroy as well as commander-in-chie- f. It la also said upon apparent good authority that Viceroy Alexleff will succeed Count Lamsdorff. None of these reports are definitely confirmed. Grand Duke Nicholas Is still a young man, not yet 45, with much of his father's dash, energy and resolution. Thera Is reason to believe that even with the memories of the horrors of the Rhipka winter campaign against the lurks, of which he was the witness, be would favor a winter campaign against the Japanese. The' dispatch of the grand duke aa commander of both armies, would so cord with ths traditions of the Romanoff dynasty, a member of whlcb Imperial family haa always been tn command in all of Russia's wars. It la agreed by the ablest military men here that should Nicholas be appointed, despite the fact that bis experience has been as a cavalry commander, the selection of hie chief of staff will become a matter of supreme Importance. A counselor with wide actual experience In general command will become an imperative necessity. General Vorentsoff, and Sutirgareffsky, veterans of the Turkish war, are mentioned for the post. General Grippenberg, commander of the Second Army waa norn on January lat. 1638. He le 10 years older than General Kuropatkln. but ranks three numbers Ipwer in the list of generals. General Grippenberg fa a Lutheran in religion. He la married and haa three children. One eon, a captain of artillery, waa wounded In the battle of Liao Yang. General Grippenberg waa educated at home and passed through no military school. He ' won hie first commission fighting In defense nf Sevastopol and then came into prominence in the campaigns In Turkestan In 1868 and 1868 where he won the 8t.
