The Commissioners a few weeks ago re-
ceived an invitation from the Director
General of the Pan-American Exposition
to name date to be placed in the pro-
gramme of the exposition as District of
Columbia Day" 1t was suggested by the
Director General that there was probably
some date Of historical Significance that
could be agreed upon as an appropriate
day for special exercises at Buffalo. in
which considerable number of the resi-
dents of the District might take part.
Since that time Commissioner Macfar-
land, who has charge of the matter, has
received numerous suggestions. Several
of these agree in naming July l as the
appropriate day. being the anniversary of
the establishment of the present form of
government for the, District. Others
have suggested July Is as the best date
that being the anniversary of the estab-
lishment Of the seat of government in
Washington.
With a view of making A possible union
with the States of Maryland and Virginia,
Commissioner Macfarland recently wrote
to the Governors OF those States asking
them the dates that had been chosen for
their special days at Buffalo.
Governor Smith, of Maryland, has re-
piled. stating that July 10 has been chosen
as Maryland Day. Governor Tyler, of
Virginia. has written that August IA has
been Professionally named as Virginia
Day and he thinks that il would be a
good idea TO have the celebrations of his
State and of the District of Columbia as
Tyler states that the date may be chang
ed to suit the convenience of the Virginia
regiments of the National Guard
Commissioner MacfarlanC will present
| the suggestions received TO his associates
within a few days and ask that the mat
| ter be disposed of.

IT is really too bad that Buffalo should
be behind over $3.000,00O on her big

Objectionable features of the Hay-Paunce-

coast lines. is to be entirely under our
control. without any other Nation having
word to say about it. We can fortify
1t or not. as we choose and can close it
entirely in wartime. Nor does Great
Britain ask any qWid pro quo. She does
not demand. as was confidently expected
any concessions of Alaskan territory. Tn
douhtedly the Pacific Railroads were re-
spon>ible for much of the British oppo-
sition to the canal, but they We're over

power might be stirred up to break the
canal at critical moment, and before
it could be agreed upon what should be
done, and who should do it. all the dam
age would occur. 1t is to the worlds
interest that we have the canal as thor
oughly under our control as one Of our
