WASHINGTON UNO
FIRSTCENTENNIAL
Congress Joins With President and
Many Governors to Make
OBSERVANCE OF NATIONAL
Capital’s NatalDava Notable Event
Thousands in a Parade—Roose
velt Little Noticed.
Washington. Dec. 12. —In su
perb weather the centennial of the
establishment of the federal gov
ernment at Washington, whither
it was removed from Philadelphia,
n niton ni Tm O
V\a3 vCICL/iaLCU iuuay \jj a icvcp
tion to the governors of the states
at the white house, by a parade of
United States troops and the na
tional guard, reviewed by the pres
ident; by imposing ceremonies in
the house of representatives, and
by a brilliant reception in the Cor
coran Art Gallery tonight. The
capital was almost swathed in the
national colors.
The official programme began at
half past ro, when the president
received the visiting governors,
members of the supreme court,
committees of the senate and house,
officers of the army and navy, and
various official persons. There
were alsp present fepresfntativ##
of the Adams family aqd nearly all
bf the prominent residents of Wash
ington. The interior of the man
sion was beautifully decorated
with palms, flowers and autumnal
foliage.
The thief purpose qf the white
house reception was to afford a
view of the new white house model,
representing the building as it will
appear when the plan of enlarge
ment has been carried out. This
plan had been prepared under the
direction of Colonel Theodore
Bingham, who described the pro
jected improvements to the pres
ident and guests, pointing out how
the extension would harmonize
with the present structure without
making any alteration in the
somewhat ancient pile.
ROOSEVELT ALMOST UNRECOG
NIZED.
The parade was not very impos
ing;. Nearly everybody except the
United States- troops and the na
tional guard rode in carriages.
Even General Miles went in a car
riage. The one exception among
the visiting dignitaries was Gov
ernor Tyler, of Virginia, who rode
horseback and was applauded.
Governor Tyler and Governor
Smith, of Maryland, were the only
governors having escorts of troops.
Governor Roosevelt was accom
panied by his staff of seven. He
was attired in a frock coat and
silk hat, and, i* l consequence, very
feu of the persons along the line
of march recognized the vice pres
ident elect, having been used to as
sociating him with the rough rider
hat.
By act of congress the day was
made a national holiday in the
District of Columbia, the govern
ment departments were closed,
business was suspended, and the
whole city gave itself over to cele
brating the capital’s natal day.

vigorous. For then all refuse matter

Otherwise it would rapidly accumulate

hers of his cabinet took a prom
inent part in all the exercises.
Although Washington is the
scene of many celebrations, it is
seldom that one has occurred here
of greater brilliancy In its outdoor
features or of more impressiveness
in its ceremonial exercises at the
capital and at the white house.
RECEPTION AT WHITE HOUSE.
The exercises of the day began
at 10:30 o’clock with a reception at
the executive mansion given by
the president to the governors of
the states and territories, their la
dies and the members of their
staffs.
Governor Stephens, of Missouri,
was represented by.governor-elect
Dockery and the Lieutenant gov
ernoY. There were twenty gov
ernors present and also many ex
governors.
Following the receptiou, Colonel
Theodore A. Bingnam, U. S. A.,
superintendent of public buildings
and grounds, gave an interesting'
account of the plans for the en
largement of the executive man
sion.
The plan, he said, consists/in a
word, of buildings about the size
of the present house one on the
east and one on the west side of
the white house grounds, connec
ted to the present mansion by
curved wings—the quadrangle be
ing completed by rebuilding the
conservatories at the south end of
the grounds. Perhaps the most
striking advantage of this plan is
that it quite maintains the present
openness to sun and toward the
south and southwest —a vital ne
cessity, and preserves the beauti
ful view to the south as unobstruc
ted as it is today. This plan leaves
the present mansion unchanged.
Not an outer door or window of a
room is closed,l the extensions be
ginning on the prolongations of
the main corridors.'
Careful but not final estimates
on the extensions proposed, Col
onel Bingham said, amount to Si,-
100,000, including partial furnish
ing.
Honorable H. B. McFarland,
president ot the board of commis
sioners of the district of Columbia,
then delivered an address on “The
Development of the district during
the century 1800-iqoo.”
Governor Shaw, of lowa, closed
the speech-making at the white
house with an address on “The
Development of the states during
the nineteenth century.”
THOUSANDS IN THE PARADE.
The great public spectacle of the
day was the parade and escort to
the president, from the white house
to the east front of the capital,
where the president reviewed the
marching thousands. At the end
of the parade rode Lieutenant Gen
eral Nelson A. Miles, chief mar
shal* in full uniform, mounted on
a superb charger. His staff in
cluded Brigadier General Breckin
ridge and many other prominent
officers, mouuted and in uniform,
presenting a brilliant appearance.
Vieing with the presidential
party in the interest excited was
the notable procession of gover
nors of the states and territories,
with their staffs and military es
corts. The governors marched in
the order of the admission of the
states to the union, Governor Tun
nell, of Delaware, coming first.
It was 3 o’clock when the last
of the marchers passed. The
president and Iris p arty tie® went
I direct to the house of representa
tives for the exercises there.
CONGRESS JOINS IN CELEBRATION.
The leview was followed by an
impressive gathering of the pres-
J ident and cabinet and members of
i the senate and houseand the judges
of the United States supreme court
in the hall of the house of repre
sentatives, where joint exercises
w ere held commemorating the day.
■ Speaker Henderson called the as
-einblage to order, and Senator
Frye, president pro tern of the sen
ate, presided over the proceedings.
The programme at the capital in
cluded th<* follow ing addresses:
“Transfer of the national capital
from Philadelphia,” by Represent
ative Richardson of Tennessee.
“Establishment of the seat of
government at the District of Co
lumbia,” by Representative Payne
of Ne.v York.
The address of Mr. Payne of
New York, the floor leader of the
majority in the house* afforded an
interesting glimpSe into the polit
ical machinations of the forefathers
and received marked attention. He
referred to the bargain by which
Jefferson agreed to help Hamilton
pass the assumption act,and Hamil
ton, as a quid pro quo, agreed to
bring over enough votes to put
through the act locating the seat
of government on the Potomac.
How this’was brought about Mr,
Pavne told in Jefferson’s own
words, and added:
LOG-ROLLING OP THE FOREFATH
ERS.
“This incident removes some of
the glamour which time has thrown
over the acts of the ‘Fathers’ and’
reveals them fo us as human be
ings, no better than the politicians
of today. Surely it is not the
highest type of legislative integrity
that characterises this historical
episode; but we can torgive this
bit of ‘log-rolling’ when we reflect
that it saved a threatened rupture
of the union.”
Other addresses were:
“History of the first century of
the national capital,” by Senator
McComas, of Maryland.
“The future of the United States
and its capital,” by Senator Deniel,
of Virginia.
Historical oration by Senator
Hoar, of Massachusetts.
The exercises were concluded at
6:15. After dissolving the joint
session Senator Frye turned the
gavel over to Speaker Henderson,
and the house immediately ad
journed.
Wi reless Telegraphy.
Columbus Enquirer Sun.
A few years ago if a man had
said *hat such a thing as telegraph
ing long distances or even short
ones, for that matter, could be ac
complished without the use of
wires, his auditors would have
thought that he had gone daft.
Even with the use of wires, it was
then considered a most wonderful
accomplishment, as it was, and is
yet. , But the more remarkable
feat of sending telegraphic mes
sages without the use of wire has
not only been shown to be a possi
bility’, but an accomplished fact.
Recent experiments have been pro
nounced successes.
A story comes from the United
States consul at Brussels reporting
officially to the state department at
Washington that a station has
been established at La Pamee,
Belgium, for such service across
the English channel, and that it is
working satisfactorily. A ship
was fitted up a few days ago with
the necessary apparatus and sev
eral messages were sent from sea
to the office on shore, the receipt of
which was was promptly acknowl
edged by the office on shore.' Su 1 -
sequetly a me sage was se.it, so the
story goes, “a distance of nearly
ninety miles inch ding many miles
of cliffs and seas.” These mes
sages were all sent and replies re
ceive and “with the sane celerity as
ordinary messages.”
So it would seem that the day is
not far distant when wireless teleg
raphy will \>e no unusual thing,
for as a matter of course, the means
now employed will be improved to
the extent that distance will not
stand in the way.
Wireless te’egraphy may revolu
tionize the system as given to th
world bv Mr. Morse. The neces
sity of wires being done away with
the cost of transmission should be
considerably cheapened, and in
consequence the sending of a mes
sage may, in the course of a few
years, be a matter of comparatively
small cost.

DISFRANCHISEMENT NORTH.
Southerner Says Voters are Re
strictedin New England, Oregon.
Washington, Dec. 12. —“It is a
little exasperating to southern peo
ple to hear all this talk about the
‘disfranchisement of the negro’, in
some of the Southern States, espec
ially when it may be noted that in
several of the Northern States the*
local constitutions are more severe
as regards the right of suffrage
than our southern governments,*
said E. M. Holmes of Memphis, a
close friends of Senator Turley of
that state.
“Take the constitution of the
s ate of Connecticut for instance.
Theie is a provision in that docu
ment which stipulates that no man
may vote unless he is of good
moral standing in the community.
Nw, of course, if any southern
state enforced such a law there
would be but few blacks to cast
their votes; but to reflect that a
northern state should incorporate
such a requirement in its constitu
tion is particularly amusing, con
s dering the abuse which has been
heaped upon us of the south for
our alleged discrimination against
the negro.
“Connecticut, in inserting that
provision in her constitution, aimed
to keep the Irish voters of her
state from the polls. In Oregon
there is a provision in the state
constitution which bars the negroes
from the polls, and Massachusetts
enforces a reading and writing
qualification, so that when the sit
uation is viewed entirely and im
partially there are many states be
sides those in the south which dis
c ".mmate in the matter of allowing
a free and unrestricted ballot.
* “It is not only the south that
has passed laws designed ty dis
franchise certain voters, but states
of the north and west as well.”
