HURRAH FOR CHAFFEEI

y ENERAL CHAFFEE. it appears,
7 has been making himself unpopu
lar with the representatives Of the
lowers in China by INDUCING in a little
plain, straightforward e-shoulder talk
As a consequence he is causing all sorts
or worry in Washington.
General Chaffee's fault seems to be
a sOldierly habit Of saying what he
thinks and not mincing words, no mat
ter who is hit. He has not learned the
diplomatic habit of shutting his eyes at
convenient times and talking round in
stead OF at a subject. Neither is he &C
quainted with the art Of substituting
such soft term as appropriation" for
stealing"
Consequently, when the foreign troops
began loOting Chinese temples and
packing up and carrying away astro-
nomicai instruments, General Chafee
was not able to sit quietly at one side
and say nothing. His indignation
reached the boiling point, and he said
things. He told Field Marshal Won
Waldersee that this stealing was dis
graceful and unmilitary, and incident
ally remarked that the men who were
:
had borne the brunt of the fighting
in opening up a way to PelSin. but
those who had come after all the dan
gers had heen removed. All this was
strictly true, and hence undiplomatic.
It was a plain, undeniabIe statement of
facts, and. therefore. insulting. The
field marshal put on an air of offended
dignity and other diplomats followed
suit Their governments were inform
ed that the rude truth-telling Yankee
was becoming unbearable. Hence the
vorIy n the diplomatic department at
Washington
Outside tie national capital there are
several million people who are not dip
Iomats. and TO these General Chanee's
language is refreshing and eXhilarat-
ing. They have been thinking TIE same
as General Chafee, and they viii be de-
lighted 90 know that their thoughts have
reached the ears of the diplomats in
the plain. straightforward English OF a
brusque- old fighter. HIS language may
have lost him caste among the word
mincing representatives of foreign
courts and in Washington. but It Will
not make him less popular with the
rank and file of his cOUntrymen, who
are unable 10 see how diplomacy and
the fact that heathens are the victims
can make stealing anything short Of the
plain, everyday crime il has hitherto
been considered.

WASHINGTON IN 800.

THE ONE HUNDREDTH ANN
versary of the establishment Of
the seat of national government in
Washington was celebrated in that city
yesterday. Those who participated in
the centennial jubilee in that city of
magnificent driveways and splendid ar
chitecture would with difficulty bring
themselves to realize the contrast it
presents 10 the Washington of Dec. u,
1900.
On that day the government dOcu-
ments, which had been brought from
Philadelphia on a cOasting schooner,
were unloaded on a desOIate marshland
and carried to Capitol hill, where par
TALLY completed capitol afforded inse-
cure shelter. So dreary was the new
capital and so bitterly did the presi-
dents wife and the other colonial
danes complain of their new abode that
the leaders removed to Georgetown,
where tLe Union tavern furnished ac-
Communications FOR balls and receptions.
It was during this era that the city was
derisively called by Sierra, the Portu-
guese minister. The City Of Magnifi-
cent Distances a title which today is
pointed 10 WIFI DIluG Dg every ItSluGuL
of Washington.
Many Of the customs in vogue at the
time of the frst occupation of Wash
ington seem strange TO people of the
present day. The senate always sat be-
hind closed doors, conducted it's bust
ness in a purely informal manner and
admitted no visitors to the galleries.
The house Of representatives,. however,
was always open, and it's sessions were
strictly formal The members of both
houses wore wigs, which were carefully
powdered and curled every day, and
even as late as 1928 hats were worn by
representatives during the session of
the lower house.
There is one other striking contrast
wherein the present does nc compare
so favorably with the past of one hun
dred years ago. Instead Of having elect
ed a Teddy to the second Office in the
land, the vice presidential chair Of 1900
was flied by Thomas Jefferson. Unfor-
tunately. the strides Of civilization are
not always upward.

Quake of 1872, suffered but little in this
one.
From Oct. % until Nov. the city
remained in a state of chaos, and for
the first twenty-four hours of this
period the shocks still continued at in
terYals. though with much less violence
than before: indeed, they did not who'll
Iy cease before Nov. II. On the morn
ing of the S0th the news was circulated
through the town that cyclone wa S
approaching the shores of La Guayra
and would reach the city between .
and p. m. The result of this rumor
was that everyone forsOok their houses
once more and took refuge in the fields
and open places. the town presenting
most mournful and desOiate aspect.

The effects of the earthquake in sur
rounding towns was even more seri-

been entirely destroyed, and the loss of
life also proving much larger than at
Caracas. La Guayra was little injured
Macuto was almost wholly destroyed.

LEGISLATION FOR THE AGED.

TT Is ENCOURAGING to note that
the close Of the century is bringing
about movements tending to make
the period of old age among the labor
ing classes a blessing rather than a bur
den. The end of the year viii be ceIe-
brated d. one Of the large railroad cor
porations of the east in pensioning for
life several hundred Of its veteran en-
ployees. New Zealand has for some
time had a law on its statute books pro-
viding for a pension Of s. a week for all
needy and deserving working people
who have reached the age of Is. Recent
advices from Melbourne say that q
similar measure has just been approved
by the Australian legislature.
The United States has long led the
world in caring for the veterans who
have served their country as soldiers.
On the other hand, it has paid little at
tention to the aged and broken veter-
ans Of that equally valuable army-the
toIIers, who have built up the nations
commercial prestige and developed it's
richie at a Daltry remuneration to
fnem elves. For those among them who
have labored constantly without being
able to save up money against a rainy
day. and who have been rendered use
less as workers by old age and who are
