Washington, Speciah With elab orate exercises and in the presence of a distinguished audience, the 100th anniversary of the birth of Gen, Ro bert E. Lee, the soldier patriot of the Confederacy, was commemorated here under the auspices of the Unit ed Confederate and Southern Socie ties of the District of Columbia. The immense ball room of the New Wil lard Hotel, where the meeting was held, was tilled to overflowing. The United States Marine Band stirred the audience with "Dixie" and other Southern melodies. Almost every mention of the name Lee was greet ed with applause. Although unable to attend, President Roosevelt sent a letter in which he extolled the vir tues of the Confederacy's great gen eral, in war as well as in peace. His suggestion that the centennial anni versary be celebrated by the estab lishment of a permanent Lee emorial at some reat representative educa tional institution of the South, met with instant favor. The exercises were Presided over by Hon. Hilary A. Herbert, former Secretary of the Navy, and were op ened with prayer by Rev. Roland Cot ton Smith, D.

The White House, Washington, Jan. 16. To the lion. Hilary A. Herbert, chair man; Chief Justice Seth Shepherd, General Marcus J. Wright, Judge Charles B. Howry, Mr. "William A. Gordon, Mr. Thomas Nelson Page, President Edwin Aldeman, Mr. Joseph Wilmer, and others of the committee of arangement for the celebration of the hundredth anni versary of the birth of General Robert E. Lee: Gentlemen: I regret that it is not in my power to be with you at your celebration. I join with you in hon oring the life and career of that great soldier and high-minded citi zen whose fame is now a matter of pride to all our countrymen. Terrible as the destruction of the civil war was, it was awful that such a con flict should occur between brothers, it is yet a matter of gratitude on the part of all Americans that this, alone among the contests of like magnitude, snouid nave leit both sides as a price. less hentagre the memorv of thf. mighty men and the glorious deeds that the iron days brought forth. The courage and steadfast endurance the lofty fealty to the right as it was given to each man to see the right, whether he wore the Gray or whether he wore the Blue, now make the memories of the valiant feats, alike ot those who served under Grant and those who served under Lee. prec ious to all good Americans. General Lee has left us the memory, not mere ly of his extraordinary skill as a een- eral. his dauntless courage and high leadership in campaign and battle, but also of that serene irreatness of soul cnaraetenstic of those who most readily recognize the obligation of civic duty. Once the war was over ne instantly undertook the tack of neanng ana tmuunr ud the wonn.lj r,f nis countrymen, in the true snirit o those who feel malice toward none and charity toward all; in that spir it which from the throes of the civil war brought forth the real and in lis ouuiuuic lyiAiuu oj. nmay. it was em inently fitting that this great man, this war-worn veteran of a mi"htv struggle, who, at its close, simplv'and quieuy unueriooK tus duty as a plain cvcijuajf i-nucu, oeni only imon helping his people in the paths of peace and tranquility, should turn his attention toward educational work toward bringing up in fit fashion tin younger generation, the sons of those who had proved their faith bv their endeavor in the heroic days. ihere is no need to dwell on Gen. erai j-,ee's record as a soldier. The son oi j-agiit iorse liarry Lee, of tne Kevoiution, he came naturally by ins aptitude lor arms and command His campaigns put him in the fore most rank of the captains of all time But his signal valor and address iu war are no more remarkable than the spirit in which he turned to the work ot peace once the war was ov er. Ihe circumstances were such th most men, even of hicrh charactp.. felt bitter and vindicative or depress eu ana spiritless, diu ueneral Lee' heroic temper was not warped nor hi great soul cast down. He stood tha naraess oi an strains, the strains of bearing nimself well through the gray evening ot iailure, and therefn out of what seemed failure he helped to build the wonderful and mi-htv triumph of our national life, in which all his countrymen, North and South, share. Immediately after the close of hostilities he announced with a clear sightedness which at that time few indeed of any section possessed, that the interests of the Southern States were the same as those of the Unit ed States; that the prosperity of the Sentb. would riss or fall wjtb the wsl- tm ef tfe wfes's eoutry U &ai lb iat? 6f ft eitUi&i ip?RrA 6 p am to admit of doubt. He urged that all should unite in honest effort illiterate the effects of war and restore the blessings of peace; that mey sbould remain m the country, stwve for harmony and good feelinf and devote their abilities to the in terests of their people and the heal ing of dissentions. To every one who applied to him, this was the advice he gave :, Although absolutely with out means, he refused all offers of pe cuniary aid, and all positions of emol ument, although many such, at a high salary, were offered him. He declin ed to go abroad, saying that ie sought only "a plaee to earn honest breal while engaged in some useful work." This statement brought him the offer of the presidency of Wash ington College, a little institution in Lexington, Virginia, which had grown out o4 ,i modest foundation known as liberty Hall Academy.

To the institution which Washington helped to found in such spirit, Lee, in the same line spirit, gave his ser vices. He accepted the position of president at a salary ot $i,o00 a year in order, as he stated, that he might do some good to the A-outh of the South. He applied himself to his new work with the same singleness of mind which he had showed in lead ing the arniv of Northern VirsuH. AH the time by word and deed he was striving for the i-estoration of real peace, of real harmony, never uttering a word of bitterness nor al lowing a word of bitterness uttered in his presence to go unchecked. From the close of the war to the time of his death all his great powers were devoted to the two objects; to the reconciliation of all his countrymen with one another, and to fitting the youth of the South for the duties, of a loftv and broad minded citizenship. Such is the career that you gather to honor; and I hope that you will take advantage of the one-hundredth anniversary of General Lee's birth by ppealing to all our people, m every section of this country, to commen- orate his lite and deeds by the es tablishment at some great represen- ative educational institution of the South of a permanent memorial, that ill service the vouth of the coming ears, as he, in the closing years of his life, served those who so sorely and wounded and others were ceded what he so freely gave.

The annual ceremony of present- g crosses of honor to Confederate eterans of distinguished military word then occurred, the exercises being brought to a close with a bene diction by the Rt. Kev. Henry Y. aatlerlee, bishop of asamgton wounded and sick, culminating in a letter to the admiral peremptorily re questing him to re-embark all parties which had been landed. Admiral Davis was greatly shocked and nained and paid a formal visit to Governor Swetteutiam, liiiorming him that the United States battle ships Missouri and Indiana and the gunboat Yankton would sail at once. To the Associated tress Admiral Davis said that immediate compliance with Governor Swettenham's request was the only course consistent with the dignity of the United btates. The friction between the governoi and the admiral began with the ar rival of the American war vessels, when the governor objected to the firing of a salute m Ins Honor, on the ground that the citizens might mistake the firing for a new earth quake. He also declared there v a no necessity of American aid, that his government was fully able to pre serve order, tend the wouncied and succor the homeless Admiral Davis wrote a very gentle manly letter explaining to the govern or how the salute came to be tired m apparent disregard to his wishes, to which the governor sent an insolent and insulting reply.
