may be increased before the close OF

first places for losses in the history Of

xens I'm Attendance.

Interest and enthusiasm were last night
aroused by the report on the project for

A largely attended mass meeting of citi-
zens was held in Willard Hall at the

sioner Of the District of Columbia and
chairman of the committee of nine which
was appointed to arrange q plan of ac-
ton for the proposed celebration The
meeting was held for the purpose of pre-
senting to the citizens of the District the
report of the preliminary steps already
taken by the citizens committee and to
acquaint the public with what has been
accomplished.
The primary meeting of citizens inter-
ested in the project was held on October
"a last. Commissioner Wight was then
chosen chairman of n committee of nine,
consisting of James G. Berret, Myron NJ.
Parker John Joy Edison, Charles j. Bell,
r. Ross Perry, Theodore W. Noyes, Law
renee Gardner, John W. Thompson and
a T. Britton. Its duty was to consider
and outline plans for the proper and fit

event
1T might be added that the committee
already appointed are unanimously of the
opinion that SO important an event could
well be marked by the erection of type
of architecture which will in itself inspire
patriotism and a broader love of country,
such as memorial hall, a bridge con-

which was received with applause, Col

of the committee be adopted and that the

This may be said to have been the es-
tabMshment of the city of Washington as
the permanent capital of the United
States the legal requirements being fully
complied with when Congress met in reg
ular session on the first Monday in De-
cember,- 1850, in accordance with the act
of July 16. 1899. which reads as follows:
".And be it further enacted, That on
the first Monday i'm December, in the year
eighteen hundred, the seat of govern
ment of the United States shall. by virtue

.At public meeting of citizens held
on the 24th of October, the chairman was
authorized to appoint committee of nine
citizens, who shoui. consider plans for the
proper celebration of this centennial and
report their recommendations at meet
ing to be called for that purpose.
1T is the opinion of this committee
that the national character of this event
and the peculiar conditions which do now,
and doubtless will. surround our national
history make it desirable to elevate the
celebration beyond purely local aspects.
1t marks the creation and growth OF the
capital of a great country: 1t indicates
the rapidly opening possibilities of our
future. The country has apparently.
completed one phase of its development.
The coming century opens for 1t a world
wide field. which ii has not hitherto
sought to enter. Within our borders we
have a united and prosperous people.
I'm order that this subject may be
brought to the attention of Congress in
| manner suited to the dignity and i'm
portance of the occasion. We have the
honor to request that you will suggest in
| your annual message to Congress such
| legislation as will provide for the ap-
| pointment of national committee, con-
| sisting of five senators and five represen-
| tatives. to be appointed by the President
| of the Senate and the Speaker of the
| House. respectively. who shall act with
| the committee appointed by the citizens
of the District of Columbia. and that you
| be empowered to further increase this
| committee by the addition of citizens al
| large.
-It is also suggested that you invite the
| governors of the several States and Terri.
tories to act as members of this commit
tee. which, when finally constituted. shall
| be authorized to report to Congress 9

There is more Catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases put

supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies.
and by constantly falling to cure with
local treatment, pronounced It incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be n con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

stances attending the choosing of the
site, the naming of the capital in honor
of the Father of His Country. and the in
terest taken by him in the adoption of
plans for its future development on a 4
magnificent scale.
Proud of the Capital.
These original plans have been
wrought out with, constant progress and
a signal success, even beyond anything
their trainers could have foreseen. The
people of the country are justly proud of
the distinctive beauty and government of
the capital and of the rare instruments of
science and education which here find
their natural home.
"A movement lately inaugurated by the
citizens to have the anniversary celebrated
with fitting ceremonies, including, per-
maps, the establishment of a permanent
memorial to mark so historical an occa-
sion, and to give it n more legal recogni-
tion, has met with general favor on the
part of the public.
Il recommend to Congress the granting
of an appropriation for this purpose and
the appointment of committee from its
respective bodies. 1t might also be ad-
visable to authorize the President to ap-
point a committee from the country at
large, which. acting with the Congress
sional and District of Columbia commit
tees, can complete plans for an appro-
pirate national celebration.
"Since the message was sent to Con-
gress the following joint resolution was
introduced into the Senate by Senator
Hoar:
".Resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States. in
Congress assembled, That the President
of the Senate and the Speaker of the
House be- and are hereby. authorized to
appoint from the Senate and the House
of Representatives, respectively five mem
bers, who shall act with the committee of
citizens of the District Of Columbia in
the preparation and carrying out of plans
for the celebration of the centennial of
the anniversary of the founding of the city
of Washington as the permanent capital
of the Government of the United States;
and that the President of the United
States be. and Is hereby, authorized to
appoint a. committee from the country at
large to cooperate with the Congress
sional and District of Columbia commit
tees in the management of said celebra-
ton
The Senate Resolution.
"In the Senate December Senator Hoar
introduced the following resolution, which
was adopted:
:. Resolved, That committee of seven
The times., 1898-12-18

senators be appointed by the chair, 10
whom shall be referred so much of the
Presidents message as recommends the
celebration with fitting ceremonies in the
year 1900 of the centennial anniversary of
the founding of the city of Washington
for the permanent capital of the Govern
ment of the United States
Should this resolution become law,
the committee will be completed as
speedily as possible and convened for the
formulation of such plans as may be
deemed proper. A bill will then be in
troduced into Congress requesting such
an appropriation as may be necessary to
execute, the ideas presented Herewith.
1.-THE committee have endeavored in
their deliberations to secure the widest
and most beneficial results for the Dis
trict of Columbia. They have not ignored
that part of the resolution which requires
them to report to a meeting of citizens
such plans as in their opinion are proper
for the observance of this great national
event, but it will be seen from the report
made tonight that no plans have been
adopted. The committee have called the
citizens together tonight for the purpose
of reporting progress, andl.to acquaint
them with the steps which have been
! taken thus far. 1t is hoped that their
action will meet with the approval of the
citizens.
The information which was submitted
| to the President to which, reference is
| made in the report of the. committee was
| then read. 1t follows in part:
1.-The citizens of the National Capital
| appreciate the fact that the year
1900 will be the centennial of events
in the nations history, which, while they
are general in character. are directly re-
lated to our city and the District of oC-
| lumbia.
1.-THE one hundredth anniversary of the
| laying of the cornerstone of the Capitol
was properly commemorated by our citi-
zens. September IS. 1893, but the approach
ing events to which We refer are of larger
Importance and demand more general
