He contended that it ia eeoerally admitted that for the Pis tnct of Columbia the present form of government is the best possible. Uovernor Shaw, of Iowa, closed the speech making at the White House, with an address on the undeveloo ment of the States during the 19th century. He said the close of the century finds Americana the best boused, the best fed, best clothed, best educated, best churched, most profitably employed, and the happiest people at any time or under any sky. ine weather was ideal for the out door features of the celebration, with clear sky, bright sun and invigorating air. As Congress had declared the day a national holiday for the District of Columbia, the whole city presented a holiday aspect, and the public turned out en masse. . During the early hours there was the sound of bands as the Virginia State troops and those, from other sections arrived to take part in the procession. dreat Poblic Spectacle. ; The great public spectacle was the parade and escort of the President from the White House to the east front of the capitol, where the President re viewed the marching thousands. At the head of the parade rode Lieute nant General Nelson A. Miles, chief marahal, in full uniform, mounted on a superb charger. His staff included Brigadier General Breckenridge and many other prominent ' omcials, mounted and in uniform, presenting a brilliant appearance. The military forces participatingjncluded artillery. cavalry, marines and sailors. First came the Second United States artillery. Lieutenant Colonel My nci Coleman, and three batta lions of artillery from other regi ments. The Fifth United States cavalry acted as the immediate escort of the President. Under Colonel Wil liam A. Rafferty. the troops were as sembled along the north curb of Penn sylvania avenue fronting the White House, and as the President appeared the cavalry salute was given and the troopers wheeled into column of pla toons and swept down the avenue to the capitol. With the President were the various members of his cabinet, in carnages. Then came the National Guard of the District of Columbia, three regiments strong, Brigadier wen- era! Harris commanding. Vieing with the Presidential party in the interest excited was the notable procession Of Governors of the 8tates and Territories, with their staffs and military escorts, - This gave a touch of individual interest to the people from many States, and the chief execu tives were warmly welcomed all along the line of march. The Governors marched in the order of the admission of the States into the Union, Governor Tunnell, of Delaware, coming first. - The Grand Army of the Republic, Spanish war veterans, the old guards, and especially invited guests followed. The parade moved from Pennsylvania avenue between two densely packed masses of humanity. As the parade reached the capitol it swung north ward to the broad plaza on the cast front. The President took position on the reviewing stand directly at the easterly entrance of the capitol. - He stood surrounded by his cabinet and prominent men of the Senate, Jouse of Representatives and various ;walks of public life. The various divisions gave him the regulation salute. ' In the Hall of the House. After the parade came imposing exercises in the hall of the House of Representatives, where gathered as distinguished a company as its walls had ever held.

He said that the controversy that led up to that action was a contest between Hamilton and madison, the North versus the South, ana in tne end Hamilton and his friends prevailed. But the decision was a compromise one, the condition 01 which was that the seat of govern ment should go south to the banks of tne fotomac. Prior to this action congress bad practically decided to la cate the capital at Wright's ?Ferry on the Susquehanna. After rejection of vvngnis erry, liermantown was tne most promising location until the compromise effected over the question of the assumption of the debts of the States fixed it "on the river Potomao. aome place between the mouths of the eastern branch and the Conogochea- gao.

Senator McComas. of Marvland. followed with an address on the "hia tory of the first century of the national capital." . , The fervid eloauenee of Renntnr Daniel, of Virginia, who snoke on "lhe Future Of the United Htaten and its Capital." repeatedly evoked an piause. lie said: Ancient history had no nrecedent ior tne united states or America and modern history has nonarallel. Thn U aited States contains the most diver sified and assimilative elements that ever composed a great nation. Our domain is the best located. Our longe vity projects itself to the fartherest reach of human, speculation, and the future is gorgeous with every sign of nope .ana courage." The Senator referred to the heart feelings of friendship the people have for each other, to the valor of the American soldier, to the strength of our electoral system as exhibited bv . ... - the experience of over a centurv. Our only strife, he said, was over the her itage which empire foisted upon our ancestors against their will and which the republic has removed forever. We are the foremost nation of the world, said the Senator. If our nrob- lems be mighty they grow out of our might and have the mighty to deal with them. Kind words were uttered by the Senator in behalf of the Dro- posed enlargement (of the White House. An eloquent plea was made for a new building for the Patent Office, to stand on Capital Hill facing tne senate nan. as a companion niece to toe congressional Ldbrary. Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts. concluded the exercises with a finished and scholarly oration. lhe exercises were concluded at 6:15. After dissolving the joint Bes- Bion, senator n rye turned the gavel over to Speaker Henderson and the House immediately adjourned. GEN. DEWET EVADED KNOX.
