HOME FROM THE PHILIPPINES
4 WILMINGTON BOY RETURNS
FROM THE FIRING LINE.

Peter J. Tierney, OF No. 11O1 Linden
street, has just returned from the Phil
ippine Islands, where he has been
since the outbreak of the war.
Tierney was a member of Company
f, First Regiment, South Dakota Vol
unteers. During the stay of the regi-
ment in the Philippines, which was 126
days, the men were accredited with
great bravery. The regiment took an
active part in many engagements, in
cluding the battle of Manila on March
%.
Tierney was unable to participate in
several fights, owing to bullet wound
in the ankle, which caused him cOnsid-
erable trouble and laid him up in the
hospital. The soldiers, he said, are
much annoyed by skin eruption
known as bamboo itch, which is caused
by marching through the dense
swamps and jungles. The regiment
embarked on the transport Sheridan
on August II. and arrived at San Fran
cisco on September z, after stopping at
several ports in Japan and elsewhere.

MENT AT WASHINGTON.

The city OF Washington Is preparing
to celebrate the centennial anniver-
sary of the removal OF the seat OF the
National Government. to banks Of the
Potomac In 1900. This event. which
was OF no great significance at the
time, Is one Of the lase of the great in
cidents connected with the beginning
OF the struggle for American independ-
ence, and the establishment Of per-
manent seat OF government.
IL is the tradition chat Tobias Lear.
who had been Washington's secretary.
and served in like capacity for John
Adams. sailed around from the Della
ware and up the Potomac ia a sloop
laden with the archives OF the govern
ment In twenty-eight pine boxes This
was the historical performance which
the citizens OF Washington wish to
celebrate.
Some years ago it was proposed to
hold a worlds fair in 1900 based on
the great historical fact. The argu-
ment for this was that there being a
local occasion for the exposition. IL
would not be taken away from Wash
ington by any other city, as the fair OF
1898 WIS after the citizens OF the capi-
tai had worked up the idea. The ex-
perience OF the Columbian affair, how
ever, discouraged all thought OF an
other EFFORT for a worlds fair here even
with so good a peg to hang II on
Congress last Winter authorized the
president to appoint committee from
the country at large, of such number
as he shall think proper, to act with
any committees that may be appointed
by the two houses of Congress, and
with any committee that may be ap-
pointed from the citizens of the Dis
/ trict OF Columbia, Who may prepare
plans for an appropriate national cele-
| bation in the year 1900 OF the first
session of Congress In the District and
the establishment Of the seat OF gov
ernment therein.
II is expected that the president will
make up the committee to be appoint
ed from the country at large of the
governors OF all the states, and he will
be asked to name a date for the meet
ing of that committee and the commit
tee OF citizens of the District of Colum-
bia between the time Congress con-
venes and the Christmas holidays, and
TO request the House Immediately after
IL organizes to authorize the speaker
to appoint representatives OF the House
to take part in the conference between
the national and local committees. As
soon as these committees can formu-
late q plan the president will be en-
abled to communicate It to Congress.
