'ofomoc Region Called Vn-
beaIfbY.

New England members denounced
the Potomac region as an unhealthy
swamp. Their prejudices were echoed
by senators and representatives from
Pennsylvania, New York and New Jer-
sey, but the south was a unit for the
Potomac, and by clever strategy final
ly won out. The Potomac site was
selected in 1890 by a majority of three
votes in the house and two in the
senate. Pennsylvania was humored
by grant of the temporary capital for
10 years. President Washington was al
lowed to choose any spot within about
100 miles above the junction of the
Potomac and its eastern branch. He
set out to fulfill this duty in March,
1871, and on the 2Sth of that month
reached Germantown. The next day,
accompanied by two commissioners,

Dec. II was the one hundredth ami
versary OF the establishment of the
seat Of government in Washington.
The events celebrated in the capt.
tai this week as a mark OF the centen-
NAL constitute one of the most inter-
esting chapters of American history.
These events began decade preced-
Ing the year of 1900 when congress,
acting under the authority granted by
the constitution, began to look for a
suitable spot upon which to locate the
seat Of federal government. The con-
stitution gave congress exclusive con-
troll over district ten miles square,
the land to be given to the nation by
the states adjoining the site selected.
There was a bitter and prolonged
squabble over the selection of site,
which was especially noticeable in the
first congress. Desirable locations on
the Delaware, Susquehanna and Poto-
mac had enthusiastic advocates among
the senators and representatives. Once
both houses actually voted to locate
the capital at Germantown, Pa, but
reconsidered.

Gen. Washington was not hampered
by law in his government of the Dis
trict of Columbia. Congress had not
foreseen the necessity Of providing
laws for the district, so the president
simply appointed three commission
ers, Messrs. Johnson, Stewart and Car
roll. without the advice or consent Of
the senate, and invested them with all
the power he deemed they required to
preserve law and order. These COM
missioners in recognition OF the great
trust reposed In them promptly chris
tened the city the "City OF Washing
ton" While there was no especial dis
sention upon this action there was an
element in the district and in congress
that was DESTROYS of calling the city
'Washingtonople" The commission
ers, however. declined to consider these
names

Judge Little Says He Knew the

HILO. Nov. 16.-Nothing further au-
thoritative has been learned regarding the
action of the United States government
relative 10 the disposal of the public lands
of Hawaii. Judge G. F. Little, whs
was formerly attorney for the squatters
of Olaa in their protest against the dis

upon the matter by Tribune representa-

Washington, d. c.. April 3.-Mr. Geo.
Fl. Smathers. the "star witness in the
Ewart case was numerically snubbed to-
day by the Sub Committee-Senators
Pettus and Liman. He had come all the
way from Buncombe, with two valises
packed with multitudinous mass of mat
ter bearing upon the Eastern Band
North Carolina Cherokees, and was eX-
ceedingly anxious to unburden his mind
of the weighty matters resting upon it.
But the Sub Committee declined to per
nit him to 'unburden," and as a result
he is unutterably sad and sorrowful.
Simon, of the Sub Committee, was in a
state of mind" himself, and evidently in
no humor to listen to anything.
The Post Of today contained most
scathing attack on him by ex-senator
Mitchell, OF Oregon, who publicly de-
nounces him as a double faced sensational
prevaricator, and charges that his record
is literally pitted with acts Of treachery
to the Republican organization and Re-

to show that Smathers had written, or

which Ewart did to oblige Smathers. hav-
ing no interest whatever in the matter.
Mr.. Smathers is feeling pretty sore over
the action Of the Sub Committee, and de-
clares that he will file a written state,
