NEWS TRAVELLED W

Before New York knew 1t.

Before New York Knew 1t.
Had George Washington lived and died
Mt the close OF the present century in
stead of the last his death would have
been known ut all -four corners Of the
globe inside two or three hours. whereas
it was not known that he had passed
away for several days aftcrward. Even
in Philadelphia. the old capital of the
United States, where the Sixth Congress
had just assembled, it was not known
that Washington was dead until Dec. IL
two days afterward.
News Travelled slowly in those days;

The New York papers did not get. the
news of Washineton's death until Dec.
10, and it was four days later when the
Boston papers Published their first in
formation. President Adams issued 4
proclamation advising all citizens to. wear
Grape on the left arm for thirty days and
setting apart Teb. 90, W~ashington's
birthday, as a day when special services
in honor of Washington should be held.
New York paid its tribute to the de-

ammunition and prepare for the struggle
The retreats which he managed in thu
following years were almost US inspiring
as the victories he planned. Ills must be
u waiting game to n great extent, and
how well he played it history tells. He
compelled England to recognize the trou'
bic as more than a nero insurrectior
and secured thus the rights of civilized
warfare.
How great the odds were against Gen.
Washington can never be rightly esti-
mated. Time and again was his army
OH the point Of dissolving away. There
were many true hearts. in the Congress;
but there were many, also, who still lean
ed a little towards England, fearing that
the new order of things would never be
successful. There was only a half-heart-
ed support for the cQmlnander-in-chief.
Jealousy inspired officers . to scheme
against him. Money was often scarce
and sometimes not to be had. His men
were sometimes without food, barefoot
cd, and half clothed. Through all these
trying years Gen. Washington had to
rely mainly ON himself. His volume of
correspondence was enormous. Thousands
of letters did he write, urging Congress,
the governors, the influential men OF the
colonies to take this or that step to
raise men or money, to help on the work.
He was the revolution. Almost always
he had perfect control Of his temper,
which was by 10 means mild, and over
his passions and his positive. aggressive
spirit. But sometimes the overwhelming
injustice Of his treatment by Congress
must have been a sore temptation to
him. And when he watched the intrepid
Hamilton dash on to victory in the re-
doubts at Yorktown lie must have felt
the weight Of the heavy burden he was
bearing rise from his great heart SO that
it beat the faster, for he knew that
should CORVALLIS surrender the war
would probably result VIGOROUSLY for the
American arms.

interior of the neck could then be seen,
showing that nothing but the spine itself
had withstood the determined gashes
which Pueo inflicted upon himself
Several times Puueo made his strong at

Swanzey's question that the Govern
ment had washed it's hands of the mat
ter leaving it for the next Legislature
| to decide.
Mr.. Swanzey asserted that some law
yers had given their opinion as to the
strength of the claims against the Gov
ernment intimating that the Govern
ment was liable for the claims in any
sense. Personally he said he did not
care what the attorneys had to say In
regard to the matter The whole thing
to him savored of the Governments
becoming angry at the claimants and
those pushing the claims, and stopping
action.
The commercial interests of Homo
lulu and the Islands in general had
sustained a great loss in Chinatown
and elsewhere and he felt 1t was the
bounden duty of the Chamber of Com
merce as a body to make a thorough
investigation. While allowing such i'm
portant matters at home to drag along,
the Government was sending repre-
sentatives to the Paris and other eX-
positions, which he considered was en-
tirely unnecessary.
He offered resolution to the effect
that the Chamber of Commerce make
a direct inquiry of the Government as
to what action, if any, it intended to
take relative to an adjustment of the
fire claims. Furthermore the Chamber
of Commerce should make an inquiry
as to whether the Governor intended
to convene the Court of Claims. Ac-
cordng to Mr.. Egan the change of

The presiding officer, w. NJ Allen,
stated that the Court of Claims was
prevented from holding its sessions as
ordered by the Governor by the refusal
of the Council of State to make appro-
priations of funds for its maintenance.
Mr., Swanzey made another appeal
for his resolution, speaking strongly in
favor of the motion to ask reply from
the Government. Mr.. Atherton offered
an amendment that all reference to the
Court of Claims in the resolution be
omitted. Mr.. Swanzey refused to ac-
cept the amendment and asked that the
resolution as a whole be passed. The
however was carried and
the resolution thus amended was voted
upon favorably.
