OD December 19,1900, was celebrated
with elaborate ceremonies tho ono han
dled ( h anniversary of tho day when
die United States government took
formal poase??ion of the qty of Wash
ington aa the capital pf the nation.
Washington had a population of
;;,000 ia 1SQ0'/S,&? it 1S1C; j" 7?? Su
1820; tho conaus just completed allow
ed it to h?ve a ps^inl^ii^ ?f ?*5^.^ fri
l?tOO.
In the first decade pt the city's his
tory, the government officials number
ed fewer than 10Q. - Now there are
nearly 15,000, including tho ciel kg in
the various departments..
Washington is now fl v? miles long by
ihree miles wide. The District of
Columbia contains about ?ixty square
miles, and all of this territory is now
being laid out with magnificent ave
nues to comprise greater Washington.
Georgetown? nowa part of Washing
ton, was laid put in 1701. It is across
Kock Creek from Washington proper.
Georgetown University, the first
educational institution of the capital,
was founded by Bishop Carroii in 1700.
' The cornerstone of the White House
was laid on October18, 1792. Had Con
gress appropriated the money asked for
last winter, the cornerstone of the now
White House addition would have been
laid this week. .
Work on the Capitol was begun on
September/l8, 1708. Its centennial was
celebrated seven years ago.
The Capitol is the hub of Washing
ton, from which most Of the avenues
radiate like thc spokes o? a wheel.
After the destruction of the Capitol
in 1814, the Thirteenth Congress held
sessions in the Union Pacific Hotel,
which was built in 1708 and burned in
1830. . " .. ".
It was expected.that the beet part of
Washington would be built oh Capitol"
Hill. Hence the Goddess of Liberty on
tho Capitol dome faces eastward. But
the most fashionable part of the city is
iu the opposite direction, in -tho north
west.
The terraces pf the Capitol were
completed only in 1891, the total cost
of tho building footing up $14,455,000.
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Heading,, Germantown, Alexandria,
Georgetown," Harrisburg,: Lancaster,
Carlisle, Trenton 'and other towns
wauted to be selected as the capital.
But George Washington chose the
present site on the Potomac.
Washington had a municipal govern
ment from 1803 to 1871, then a territo
rial government until 1874, since which
time it has been controlled by Congress
through three district commissioners.
Tue government temporarily aban?
doned Washington in 1814. when the
I British captured the city, partially de
stroyed the Capitol and the White
? House, and blow up tho arsenal at
Greenleaf s Point
Pierre-Charles L'Entant, a French
army officer and engineer, laid ont the
plan of Washington. It is proposed to
erect a monument to him, since he re
ceived no money for his work. His
gravo is an unmarked one, on the out
skirts of Washington, where he died.

the world.
The columns of the eastern portico of
the Capitol are solid blocks of sand
stone, each yu f*>at high.
The Congress of the United States
has met annually in Washington since
November, 1800. ? . .
The Bogers bronze doors at the maui
CL? Iran co to the . Cap i toi tell the story
of Columbus, and cost $28,000.
The Capitol rotunda is 95 feet 6 inch
es in diameter, and from floor to can
opy is 188 feet 8 inches.
Washington started in business with
a capital of nearly $5,000,000 derived
from the sale of real estate exclusive
ot that, deeded to tho government foi
government purposes.
More than half the area of Washing
ton is now devoted to the publie use.
The Capitol grounds and the Mall con
stitute a magnificent"and finely kept
public park.
The Long Bridge across the Potomac
to Virginia, was built in .1830.. It ie
soon to be replaced by the magnificent
stone memorial bridge to commemo
rate the new union between the North
and the South.
Alexandria, Va., where Washington
attended church, was founded in 174?
and was once a prosperous port.
Pennsylvania avenue, connecting thc
White House with tho Capitol, is saul
to be the broadest and finest thorough
fare in the world. It was first pave*
in 1830, but cheaply and poorly wig
wooden blocks. \
President Johnson laid out Pennsyl
vania avenue and had it lined wi tl
trees on both sides. Then a doubh
row of lindens was planted down UK
centre, dividing it into two streets arie
a centre driveway. These trees hav<
now been out down, though a few nev
ones have been planted on the sides
The avenue is now a broad, smoothly
paved boulevard. It is 100 feet wide
With a population of 75,000 in 1800
Washington was still a spr ,wling, un
kempt, unpaved and dirty city. I
canal ran past the foot of the Capito
building, but it has been covered.
"lt was not until 1874, under Governo:
Alexander B. Shephard, that Washing- j
ton began to be a beautiful city. In
tea years 625,000,000 had been spent to
make Washington clean and beautiful.
In the city proper, not counting su
burban extensions, there are 107 streets
aggregating 279 miles in length, and 21
avenues named after different States.
The suburban, extensions, now being
rapidly populated, contain more than
500 miles of roadway.
North, East and South Capitol streets
and the Mall divide the city into four
i sections, known as northeast, sontu
I east, northwest and southwest. House

From Our Own Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. D. C., DOO. 24,1000.
Tho Hay-Pnunccfoto treaty has boon
ratified and tho long struggle against
Anglomania in tho State Department
is temporarily at an end. Secretary
Hay has kindly agreed to sacrific? his
own feelings and (submit the amended
treaty to tho British government, but
states frankly that ho docs not seo how
Her Majeeij can possibly accept its
provisions-provisions which he at that
declared that it would bo au insult for
him oven to oiler for her consideration.
It may be stated, indeed, that Mr. Hay
would have withdrawn the treaty had
it not been for Lord Pauncefote, the
British Ambassador, who did not seem
to se? tho insuperable objections to it
that Mr. Hay does. As a matter of
fact, tho treaty does not go far enough
to preservo tho baro rights of the Uni
ted States, ns it still contains the ob
jectionable daune forbidding fortifica
tions, which would cunblo our ships to
leave tho canal in time of war and go
to meei tho enemy clsowhere. Possi
bly, tho real reason for Mr. Hay's op
position to amendment, is shown by
the following official statement givon
out nt tho StatoDepartment. "What
ever odium thora is in connection with
tho so-called Hay-Pauncefoto treaty
rests entirely with tho Stato Depart
ment. The compact was drawn up en
tirely by tho State Department and
submitted to Great Britain with the
result that it was approved without
change, evon tbo crossing of ? "t" or
the dotting of "i." T^very lino, word,
and letter of tho treaty isas it was pre
pared by tho Stato Department.1' In
other words, Great Britain had nothing
to do with drawing up tho treaty that
Hay declared it would benn insult to
her to amend! lt was Mr. Hay's lovo
for his handiwork that made him so
oppose the amendment and not con
cern solely for the country's welfare.
However, the treaty has been amended
aud passed and it is up to Great Britain
to act. Tho chances arc that sho will
do nothing until after March 4th, when
Congress adjourns, nnd then will open
negotiations with Secretary Hay, who
has shown himself so facile, for a now
treaty, in which concessions-possibly
a now strip of Alaska, or a port for
I Canada-will bo traded for tho right to
j build tho canal. By next winter, Bri
' tain may bo out of South Africa and
not so dependent on tho friendship of
tho United States ns sho is at present.
No decision is expected from tho Su
premo Court in tho Porto Rican cases
for at least two months after January
17th, when the second batch of these
cases is to he argued. Tho belief is
freely expressed hero, however, that
the court is radically divided m the
main question, and that the balance of
power will finally be left in tho hands
of the Chief Justice: The confidence
of the Administration hos been rudely
shaken by the attitude of former Presi
dents Benjamin Harrison and Grover
Cleveland, both of whom have great
weight with tho Supreme Court, and
by tho fact that Attorney General
Griggs, during his argument on Wed
nesday, was plied with apparently hos
tile questions by Justices Brewer, Har
lan, White and Brown. It'these judges
are hostile to tho Administration's
position and nil of tho others are agree
able to tho Administration's positiou it
leaves a narrow majority of ono vote.
It is recalled that President Harrison
appointed Justices Brewer, Shims and
Brown nnd President Cleveland ap
pointed Justices Fuller, Whito and
Peckham. While no one cxpocts that
any of these judges aro likely to be in
fluenced by opinionsentertained by the
distinguished former Presidents who
p? ced them on the bench, it is never
less an interesting' fact that two-thirds
of the Justices of the Supreme Court
owe their appointants to former
Presidents who are now assailing tho
imperialistic policy of the Administra
tion.
Mr. Cleveland's views as to the futuro
of the Democratic party have caused
considerable comment here, where the
general criticism is the same as that
offered by Mr. Bryan-a lack of defi
niteness as to what he considers the
basic principles of Democracy to which
be wishes to return. It is rather an
cient hisUuy to argue tho matter now,
but there is no real doubt that free
silver was in accord with these "basic
principles." As for Mr. Cleveland's
plea "to give thc rank and file a chance,1'
it is said that if they did not have a
chance at Chicago and Kansas City
they never will nave. Certainly the
leaders did not control at either of
these places-were not even present
there, for the most part. It is pointed
out, too, that Mr. Cleveland himself
never brought out, even approximate
ly, the full strength of his party vote.
Mr. Bryan was defeated in 1806, hut he
received at least 800,000 more ballots
than Mr. Cleveland did when he was
elected in 1802. The individual may
decide for himself us to the real char
acter and constitution of the D?mo
cratie "rank and file." Mr Cleveland,
it appears, nos in mind the bankers,
capitalists and corporations of the
East, bat others may think- th"! the
great body o? the Democratic voters
are in question. Mr. Cleveland's ad
vice to cut loose front Populism is,
however, generally commended. There
is LO doubt at all that the tendency
among Democrats in Congress is de
cidedly in favor of thia, though it is
urged by some that it is perhaps a trido
indelicate in Mr. Cleveland to suggest
sucha course, as ono of tho helping
causes of his election ia 1802 was Mr.
Weaver's candidacy on the Populist
ticket.
