THE PEACE JUBILEE.
First Day of Washlngton's Big CeIe-
brat!oB.

Washington, May 23.-Washington's
Peace Jubilee was inaugurated at sunrise
today by national salute of thirteen guns
from the Dolphin, anchored of the navy
yard, and by the chime of bells and sound
of steam whistles all over the city. The
day had been declared half holiday In
the departments, and the employees OF
nearly all the bureaus were released at
noon, the hour being marked by salute
of forty-fve guns.
The first days festivities were marked
by a parade comprising all the regular
army and naval organizations stationed in
and around Washington, together with
The District of Columbia volunteers. the
Delaware National Guard, the Chinese
naval reserves, Of Philadelphia, Fourth
and Ninth United States Volunteers Regi'
ments [Immunes.
Over 5000 men we're in the parade
The route was that followed by the In
auguration parades, down Pennsylvania
avenue, around the Treasury and in front
af the White House grounds, where q
large reviewing stand, gracefully decorat-
ed with bunting, has been erected.
The three squares extending from the
State, War and Navy to the Treasury
building had been transformed into q
court of honor. On each side classic
columns were reared and two broad
arches, SPAWNED by festooned flags and
bunting, marked the entrance and exit to
the court. The public benches along the
avenue at this point were black with peo-
pie, and the surrounding parks were
thronged. The President, members OF
the cabinet and their wives, ambassadors
and foreign ministers with their attaches,
General Miles and his staff andimany peo-
pie in public and private life, occupied the
reviewing stand.
The enthusiasm was great as the parade
passed through the court Of honor. The
President and Secretaries Hay and Gage,
who stood on a small platform jutting from
the stand, were repeatedly and tumultous'
ly applauded as they uncovered their heads
each time the American colors trooped by.
General Wheeler ives accorded the lar
gest demonstration. In full uniform rode
in carriage. He YVES everywhere cheer
ed. AS he reached the reviewing stand
he arose and saluted the President. The
people went wild.
Another interesting and significant incl
dent was the cheering of Sousa's new
march "Hands Across the Sea-" One OF
the bands struck up this stirring air as the
reviewing stand was reached. The ap-
plause which greeted it WAS started by the
diplomats, spread through the stand and
broke in a roar of cheers along the whole
length of the court of honor.
The parade was three quarters OF an
hour passing the reviewing party.
Probably $4,000 people went to the
White Lottonight to view the magnificent
display of fireworks, which included a
realistic reproduction of the battle of Ma
Mia, portraits of President Mckinley, Adj
miral Dewey and other notable characters

Their designs will be submitted Jan. 16
1900, and it is expected that an ample ap-
preparation will be made by congress be-
fore the end of February, when work
upon the memorial bridge will definitely
begin.
How much money will be expended
upon the bridge cannot now be determin-
ed. The original estimates approximated
Sl,OOG,0O0 or $2,00O,0O0 The more the sub
Ject is discussed, however, the stronger
grows the feeling that the bridge, COM
memorating as it does the truly noble in
American character should be built upon
a scale in harmony with its purpose. 1t
would, therefore, not be surprising if
the amount finally decided upon should
triple or quadruple the original s., COO, 900
estimate.
EVOLUTION OF THE IDEA.
The memorial bridge to American pa
triotism is an evolution. 1t started soon
after Gen. Grants death, and the earliest
intention was to make 1t commemorative
of his life and character. For a long
time the project was known as the Gen.
Grant Memorial Bridge" In 1890 1t was
decided to enlarge it's scope, and to have
1t perpetuate the memory of federal SOL
diers who lost their lives In. the Civil
war.
Then the war with Spain came on, and
it. seemed wise to incorporate also the
heroes Of the Spanish-American war, and
on account Of the conduct of Southern
men IN the late war with Spain It seemed
just and proper to make the purpose of
) tue bridge more widely inclusive so that
1t might comprehend every one in Amer
lea who had fought or lived or died to

F'orty-two years ago. said an old
naval officer. 'T was in the harbor of
Marse1lles, on the coast Of France. an
officer of the navy and attached to one
of the best ships Of the American navy
OF that era. AS frequently happens
there at certain seasons of the year.
there was some wind blowing. for in
that harbor it comes down to you di>
rect from the Alps and has that Switzer-
land tone, flavor and feeling that makes
1t thoroughly unenjoyable The harbor
is made by the aid of an extensive wall
or breakwater, and it works all right
in theory, but significantly fails to work
during a severe blow. Well, our shin
was in for the worst of 1t and It was
very rough, I assure you Merchant
ships all about us were picked up by
the wind and dashed against the break
water in the most unceremonious man
ner, and We were kept busy sending out
crews to relieve distress
''All of a sudden 1t leaked into our
heads that we should reserve our forces
for our own welfare, for on the sea. as
well as elsewhere, lookout for number
one is good doctrine. We here found
that self protection is helped a great
deal by precaution, and while we did
not decline any request for our aid we
did not strain our ears listening for
them. Our ship had taken on the cradle
motion and was going at a two-twenty
rate and increasing speed all the time
The lookouts reported that we had
parted all of our hawsers but one and
that the remaining one was rather a
slight affair. About this time thin rs
became very interesting and the officers
began looking around to see what was
