ARIZONA, New Mexico Okla
homa and Utah are the only
remaining territories left in
this country and there is every
probability that they will
shortly become States despite
their paucity of population.
Only recently a Republican
senatorial caucus decided to
admit them all but Arizona,
presumably upon the ground
that it will be strongly Demo
cratic in its politics and not
like Utah and New Mexico,
which. by reason of the small
ness Of their Democratic ma
jorities, may be captured and
conciliated by this action oi
the Republicans in taking the

The Capitol,

julien Hawthorne in July Lippincott's
Talking Of Congress reminds me once more
OF the Capitol. 1t is true, and sorry am for
it, that the dome is made OF iron and the main
body of the building is not white marble, but
sort Of composition. Only the mighty wings
are what they appear to be. and their truth
palliates in a degree the prevarication of the
older portion. But, after taking what excep-
tons we may. our Capitol is still work un-
rivaled in modern art. Its site is as fine as
itself Except the Acropolis at Athens there is
no other to be compared with it, And the mag
nifcent opportunity has been fully improved.
These sumptuous terraces that mount, range
above range, to the marble summit on which
this wonder rests, astonish the eve and sat-
isfy the imagination. One has dreamed
Of such thing, but has never ex-
pected to realize it. And when. by
leisurely and stately degrees. We have assembled
the ordered flights to the topmost platform.
and turn to look back, what noble spectacle
lies slumbering there in the mellow sunshine
The wide, straight avenues radiate to every
point Of the compass; mile away uplifts itself
the almost incredible height of the taperlng
monument, 500 feet of snowy marble. On a
line with it to the northward is the White
House. fanked by the gigantic treasury and
the army and navy buildings: to the left winds
the broad placidity of the Potomac and on the
right is spread out the lovely city. mounting
gradually to the bill. And all this superb ex.
panse is differentiated and enriched with the
living green of the omuipresent trees and
parks. Overhead, sky OF unfathomable blue

Not little of the increased interest taken

with the oar, but for providing every

attract The Columbias were to have had
regatta this evening, but owing to some unusual
circumstances 1t was necessary to postpone ID
for . week. These regattas are always a source
OF entertainment, and during the progress Of
one Of them the balconies Of the club houses
are crowded With the friends OF the con-
testants. Though the rival crews are composed
Of members Of the same club each crew takes q
pride in doing its best, and thus the acme Of
amateur sport is obtained. Generally after
one Of the regattas the boathouse is turned into

either side Of the main portico on the east
front, cost $AS 900. Two statutes OF War"

Mars and Ceres, cost $4,000 each. An unde-
