to start the movement It IS estimated
that this legacy would now amount to
over S4.000.00O if it had been invested In
accordance with his directions His views
were clearly expressed in the following
extract from a letter in 1875.
"A plan for the establishment of a uni
versity in the Federal city has frequently
been the subject of conversation.
It has always been source of serious
reflection and sincere regret with me that
the youth Of the United States should be
sent to foreign countries for the purpose
Of education. Although there are doubt
who escape the danger of contracting
principles unfavorab1e to republican gov
eminent yet We ought to deprecate the
hazard attending ardent and susceptible
minds from being too strongly and too
easily prepossessed in favor of other poll
approaching their own"
For some unaceountabIe reason this ex-
pressed wish of the Father of His Coun-
try, and the Father of the Capital City,
was never carried out. So noticeable was
the neglect that, in 1925, President John
Quincy Adams. IN his first message to
Congress, called attention to the subject
as follows:
Among the FIST, perhaps the very first. iustrl-
Tnents for the Improvement OF the condition Of
men, Is knowledge; and 10 the acquisition OF

that a bequest Of s., 100000 or 10000, 900

The Beautiful Suburbs.
The typographical features of the
country surrounding the city Of Washing
ton are exceptionally picturesque and
beautiful On the west are Arlington
Heights, and back of them still higher
elevations. afording, from their summit,
a magnificent panoramic view of the Capt
tai City, with its dome, Monument. de-
partment buildings, etc On the north are
similar heights, such as Soldiers Home
and other places. from which equally
fine bird's-eye views may be enjoyed
On the east, from the standpoint Of Over
look Ian, and the Insane Asylum heights,
the city may again be seen in all of It's
beauty and grandeur. On the south, along
the Potomac River, the topography is diff
ferent, but equally attractive.
During the late war there were, upon
these surrounding heights a series of de-
fences and Notifications now of great
historic interest. It has been proposed
that these forts be connected by a grand
boulevard encircIing the city, giving from
every point view of the city in all its
glory. The project will doubtless take
shape at an early day. and thereby give
the visitors from the States and foreign
lands not only a magnificent pleasure
drive. but one of great historic interest.

and within sight Of the city, is the home

adequate TO the demands Of the Executive,
both from the business and social stand
point: hence the present celebration is
made the occasion for exhibiting a mcdeI
of an enlarged structure, SO designed
that the historic house VIII still remain.
The Washington donument.
The Washington Monument. like the
dome of the Capitol, is another grand and
imposing beacon of Ifberty-a memorial
IN honor of one who freed the New World
from the domination of the Old. These
Two beacon towers by day should, like the
BarthoIdi Statue of Liberty in New York
Harbor, be made beacon lights at night
~ electric halos around their tops from
She time parting day fingers and plays
en- their summit until the earliest lights
of the morning gid them"
The history of the Monument is known
20 every school child in America, for
theirs was the first important contribu-
zion toward the expense OF its construc-
Sion.
Visitors from all parts of the world are
1ond o ascending the sky-piercfng tower
end viewing from its lofty windows the
magnifcence of the city that Washington
FOUNDED and looking down the Potomac to
MS home and tomb at Mount Vernon. The
whole scene is grand and inspiring and
:mpresses the visitor with the wisdom and
exquisite taste of all that Washington
planned in regard to the Capital City.
The Museum.
The National Museum was the out
growth of q centennial ceIebration-the
Exposition OF 1875 at Philadelphia As Of
dcially stated by the late Prof. G. Browne
Eoode, so prominently identified with that
institution, ''the objects which were given
30 the United States for it's National
Museum, at the close of the Centennial
were Of much intrinsic value. but were

The CAPITOL.

still more important, in that they led to
the erection of large building for the
expansion of the Museum itself.
It is, I think, possible to show that
Washington may readily be made the seat
Of one Of the greatest museums in the
world" Every exposition since then,
those at New Orleans, Chicago, and else
where, have resulted in additional and
valuable presents to the Museum. The
same thing viii happen at the close of the
Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo, in
1901, and the Louisiana Purchase EXPOSE
ton at st. Louis in 1903. In brief, It is
itself practically becoming a permanent
American and worlds exposition, and re-
quires Now and much grander structure
for an adequate display of its interesting
and valuable treasures, many of which
are now stored away, unpacked, for the
want of room
A small fractional part Of its exhibits
have, for years past, been one Of the most
attractive features OF the various exposi-
tons held at New Orleans, Chicago. At
lanta Cincinnati Louisville, and Omaha.
Congress has ever been liberal in appro-
priations for the temporary Governmental
display in the sister cities, and it Will
doubtless soon be equally liberal in pro-
viding for an adequate and permanent
display at the Capital City. There is no
more appropriate time to inaugurate such
a movement than the opening of the new
century, century destined to eclipse the
glorious nineteenth century in the de-
veloPment and expansion of arts and in
dustries.

SITUATION WORSE THAN EVER.
Earops Apparently Determined to Par
tition China.

New York, Sept. PEA dispatch TO
the Herald from Shanghai gays:
The situation In China is now more
serious than ever before for those who
are Interested In preserving the integri-
ty OF the empire. The Chinese govern
ment is In the power OF Boxer leaders
who are not likely to submit 10 the
empress dowager any proposition un-
favorable TO them. The friendly vice.
roys Of the south are loyal to the throne
and any foreign aggression in Southern
China will precipitate an uprising.
There il danger that the friendly vice.
roys will be replaced. Sheng. the
friendly Taotai Of Shanghai, has been
ordered north. and that practically
means his death.
Russia is holding all the forts and
strategical points from Taku 70 Pekin.
Rusia's possession of the railway shows
by the permanent arrangement which
her officers are making that she intends
to swallow the north OF China. No
one here believes that Russia will ever
move out except under overwhelming
pressure from other powers. Ger
many's assurance that she does not de-
sire territory in China, II the latter be
able to pay an indemnity, is mislead-
ing. Her demand for the punishment
OF the leaders OF the Boxers AZ con-
dition precedent TO peace negotiations

complete disruption OF the Chinese gov
ernment. Friendly feeling between
Japan and Russia is increasing. France

less the allies protest the friendly vice.
roys are likely TO have no friends left
in China. The only method OF dealing
with tile situation not involving the
division Of Chinese territory is through
the friendly viceroys, gradually remov-
ing the throne from the power of the
Boxer leaders. Americans on the spot
believe that the settlement OF the pres
ent question will decide the fate OF
enormous and increasing American and

London Oct. 2.--Beyond number
Of imperial edicts. which throw into
still worse confusion the complicated
Chinese situation, there is little in to-

Shanghai comes an unconfrmed report
that the allies have seized Shan Hal

All the news with regard to the

cording to the sdyices. in addition to
the edicts ordering Grand Councillor
Kun Kang to offer oblations before the
coffin OF Baron Won Ketteler and the
edict directing that LII Hung Chang's

cellor Of the japanese legation, Emper-
Or Kwang Hsu has addressed further
letters to the czar and mikado renew
ing his request for their aid in the
peace negotiations.
Various opinions are expressed as to
the importance Of the edicts. The
Shanghai correspondent of the Morn
ing Post says:
THE severe punishment ordered by
Emperor Kwang Hsu will only mean a
money fine. There are traces OF Lii
Hung Chang's hand under American
influence in the edicts." On the other

After consulting the emperor she sum-
moned the court dignitaries and on
their assembling, through which she
remained silent, the emperor in loud
voice delivered TRADE lasting couple
of hours against the courtiers. Then
in an angry voice he dismissed them.
After this the DEGREES were issued.
While these have been promulgated,
feyerish war preparations are still re-
ported from Shanghai. and new ap-
pointments have been made to the Chi

An Advance Of 10 Per Csnt In the An

Philadelphia, Oct. Am offer OF
an increase Of 10 per cent in miners
wages was today made by the Phila-
delphia 6 Reading Coal q Iron Com
pany, and this move. it is stated, will
be followedhy similar notices at every
colliery in the anthracite region.
Ii is expected by the operators that
this increase in wages will be satisfac-
tory to the men. and they believe many
strikers will take advantage of the
offer and return to work. Mining
operations will in this event be given
an impetus. and the operators expect
there will be gradual resumption un-
til the collierics will again hare their
full complement of employees. The
Philadelphia & Reading Company
operates SO collieries, and of these 81
have been shut down owing TO insuffic-
lent working force.
Whether the miners will accept the
proffer of the company and return in
sufficient numbers to operate the mines
cannot be foretold tonight. Reports
received from several points in the
Schuylkill region, where the Reading
collieries are located, rather indicate
that the mineworkers will follow the
instructions OF their organization off,
cials and remain away.
President Mitchell, of the Nine
workers. received no notice of the in
tention Of the operators to offer the in
crease in wages, and the intimation is
thus given that the miners 'organiza-
tion will receive no recognition from
the operators.
