one, composed of congressman, members
of the Board of Trade and the Washing

as of the various citizens associations
which have always manifested so deep an
interest in everything pertaining TO the
improvement of the nations capital
After a few Introductory remarks, out
lining the purpose of the gathering, Com
missioner Wight presented the report of
the committee.
II outlines in detail all that has SO far
been accomplished and is, in part, as
follows:
Report of the Committee.
"a meeting of the committee was called
for the evening of November /, at which
all were present with one or two excep-
tions. Full consideration was given the
resolution constituting the committee,
suggestions were made as to the various
forms of celebration. and the committee
expressed the unanimous opinion that in
asmuch as the celebration would relate
to the establishment of the National Capt.
tai, it should be national in character
and that before determining on any plan
whatever conference should be had with
the President of the United States
'sThe President received the committee
and at once evinced deep interest, con-
ferring freely with them and advising that
before further steps were taken authority
should be asked OF Congress for the ap-
pointment of Congressional representa-
tives on the committee. He also suggest
ed that, were he given authority to do
So he would be glad to increase the COM
mittee by the addition of citizens from the
country at large to cooperate in so
worthy Il project.
1.-The committee then requested the
President TO make reference to the sub
ject in his annual message to Congress,
leaving with him communication to
that effect. The President expressed a
desire for more detailed information,
which was furnished him, and in his an
nual message there appears this para

lin the year 1900 will occur the centen-
nial anniversary of the founding of the
city of Washington for the permanent
capital of the Government of the United
States by authority of an act of Congress
approved July 16. 1880. In May, 1900, the
archives and general offices of the Federal
Government were removed to this place.
On the 18th of November, 1900, the Ma
tionan Congress met here for the first
time, and assumed exclusive control of
the Federal District and city. This inter-
esting event assumes all the more signi-
ficance when We recall tho circum-

had ever been here before.
The fatherly advice of Bishop Pres

people by Apostle Cowley, and the
advice to mothers and daughters upon
their duties and callings, VIII never
be forgotten by many. We feel that
the eyes of many were opened AT inc
lines of the Gospel marked out by the
speakers, and feel that general time
OF reforming will take place.
Sister Gates was the first missionary
enroute here in behalf OF the Young
Ladies', and the result was manifest,
for at their meeting, held alone. the
gift Of tongues was given to Sister
Pack.
