LIFTED WASHINGTON
CITY OUT OF THE MUD
Former Governor Shepherd, Who Took Initia-
tive in Beautifying the National Capital,
to Return Here to Live.

Mr.. Alexander R. Shepherd. former Gov
ernor Of Washington. who expended near
ly all his own fortune years ago in the de-
velopment Of the National Capital along
far-sighted lines and who then removed to
Mexico to assume charge OF silver mines
there. will return to Washington to live
in about six months or a year.
Owing to his drastic plans for the i'm
provement of the city, MIR. Shepherd was
probably the most misunderstood man who
ever made his home here. His work met
with all manner OF opposition from ex-
ponents of the old Washington" and
instead of the value of his work being
recognized he was numerically criticised.
Mr.. Shepherd was the second Governor
of Washington. He succeeded Henry D.
Cook, of Ohio, who resigned in September,
1873. Mr.. Shepherd served until June 20.
1874, when, by reason of an investigation
by Congress into the operation CT the
Territorial experiments, the governcrship
was abolished and a government by three
Commissioners established in its place.
In 1871 Washington began to be the
beautiful city that it is today. 1t was a
common saying at that time that Alexan-
der r Shepherd lifted Washington City
out of the mud" He is a man OF in
domitable will. and, as results have
shown. of sagacious foresight. When he
entered the fight to keep Washington the
Capital of the nation, he was also de-
termined that it should be metropolis

and to be permitted to appear, il IN oral

said. would also forward copies Of the
bill to the various citizens associations
and request them to use their efforts to
further its passage.
Taxation the One Subject.
Judge c. S. Bundy. who was present as
the guest of the association. delivered
short talk at the close OF the meeting. in
which he said, among other things, that
taxation is about to become. indeed has
become the all-pervading question before
the people of the District of Columbia.
He said tina; it must be met. and that the
problem would require the best talent of
the city and the most deliberate consid-
Grafton of our citizens.
Judge Bundy expressed his belief that
the plan suggested by Senator Hoar was
the best that could be devised. This was
that the rate of taxation should be de-
cided upon by commission specially Gre
ated for that purpose, and that when that
rate is settled let the income therefrom
be the Districts share in the public bur
den and that whatever should be needed
more than that Congress should furnish
by special appropriation.

KING EDWARDS LEVEE.
Brilliant Gathering of Diplomats
and Government Officers.

LONDON, Feb. liking Edwards fire.
leyee of the season took place at noon to-
day at st. James Palace. brilliant
gathering of over 800 gentlemen at
tended.
The only absentee from the diplomatic
corps was Count Paul Wolff Metternich,
the German Ambassador, whose place
was taken by Count Won Bredow, the
German military attache. Others present
were the Lord Mayor and the sheriffs of
the city of London, and a number of men,
bers OF the Government.
The King drove from Marlborough
House in a semi-state carriage drawn
by a pair or Blacks. The Prince of Wales
crossed on foot TO the palace from York
House.
\ feature of the reception was the
kissing of his Majestys hand by his
acquaintance at the levee. When he
was Prince of Wales they merely bowed
and shook his hand. Gentlemen at royal
levees used to kneel before Queen Vic
toria and kiss her hand, but there was
no kneeling today.
Large crowds gathered around st.
James Palace to watch the King arrive
and depart. The ceremony was held in
brilliant sunshine.

in fact as well as in name, and an object
of pride TO the people of the whole coun-
try.
1t was through his tireless efforts that
the scheme for removing the Capital to a
Western city was nipped in the bud.
When the scheme for removal came Mr..
Shepherd was prepared for the fght-a
light which was to drive him, almost de-
spised. from the city he had labored so
hard to make beautiful.
He gained the support of prominent
citizens, procured the investment of
Northern capital in District bonds. Sc
cured the close friendship of President
Grant, and awakened Congress to an in
terest in local affairs. and in a short time
under his able management the old slov-
emily city began to disappear. AS result
he obtained appropriations with which to
advance the work of identifying the city
to the extent of about $4,000, 600 besides
spending almost his entire private for
tune.
AT the expiration of his term of Of
flee he removed to Mexico, where he be-
came the manager of the old Hac San
Miguel silver mines. In the course of
time ne built a magnificent residence at
Chihuahua, where his family resides. OF
late the mines have been increasing in
richness and Mr. Shepherd has amassed
quite fortune. As soon as ne can prom
erly adjust his business matters there he

PRINCES MILITARY ESCORT.
Arrangements That VIII Probably
Obtain in This City.

Adjutant General Henry c. Corbin has
received complete charge of the military
features of Prince Henry's reception in
this city. According to his present plan.
which must still be regarded as tenta-
tive, the military arrangements will be
as transformations as possible.
When Prince Henry arrives in Washing
ton, he will be met at the station by two
troops of cavalry and a detachment of
regular infantry, or light artillery and
his progress to the White House Will be
between the National Guard of the Dis
triot. lined up along both sides of Penn
sylvania Avenue. Brigadier General Har-
ries and his personal staff are to be sta
toned near the east entrance to the White
House grounds. and Will give the formal
salute to the prince and his escort as they
pas.
During his stay in this city the prince
will have a troop of cavalry for his per-
sonal escort. and no matter where he
goes this body Of soldiers will accompany
him. 1t is very probable that General
Corbin will be assigned to duty as mill
tary aid TO the royal visitor.

| maker presented the following resolution,
which was fully discussed and adopted:
BE it resolved by the Mount Pleasant
Citizens' Association. in regular meet
ing assembled, this 18th day OF Febru-
airy. 1902. That there does not apparent
ly exist in the District of Columbia any
necessity for increased taxation. What
is really required. is:
"First-A compliance on the part OF the
United States with the compact of 1878.
with reference to all general or annually
incurred expenses.
''Second-A bond issue or loan of
sufficient amount Of money to make such
large and extraordinary improvements as
have been suggested. half of which should
be assumed by the United States.
Discontinue Unjust Policy.
"Third-A discontinuance of the unjust,
unfair, and even vicious policy of MAX
ing large and important national i'm
provements at the National Capital for
the benefit of the people of the nation at
the expense of the few thousand tax
payers of the District OF Columbia. We
refer to new streets and avenues ex-
tremely numerous, of extraordinary
width; to national parks, such as those
which have been established l. e., the
Rock Creek Park, which is declared to
be park for the benefit of the people
of the United States, by Congress. and
the title thereto is vested in the United
States Government; to the Geological
Park, which is an adjunct of The Smith
sonian Institution. and largely conducted
for scientific purposes by the regents
thereof; to the other great park system
which is proposed, and the nationa, street
extension plan"
Railway Transfer System.
Mr.. J. W. Watson submitted an inter-
esting report upon the efforts of the rail-
road committee to secure transfers from
the Capital Traction line to Mount Pleas
ant to other street railways with which it
connects. Mr.. Watson explained that the
committee received no satisfaction from
the companies. They had prepared a bill
requiring the railroads to allow these
transfers and had it introduced in both
houses of Congress. The bill was referred
to the Commissioners for report, and was
by them referred, in turn, to the railway
companies for their views upon the sub
ject.
No Referendum in Washington
At this point Mr. Watson stated tina
the machinery of legislation seemed to
work excellently for the railway COM
panies, but that the bill would not be
referred to the people at any stage in
its progress for their opinion, rejection,
or approval. He though the system in

deadly encounter between father and

ter. occurred shortly after I o'clock last
night. when Joseph Whiting, forty-seven
years of age. living at iii Seventh
Street southeast. stabbed his son, Henry
Whiting. twenty-one years of age, in the
back with dagger.
The cutting. it is said, grew out of a
dispute. The wound was a deep one, and
neighbors notified the Fifth Precinct po-
lice.
Policeman MancosOs was soon upon the
scene and sent young Whiting to the Prov
idence Hospital in the Fifth precinct
patrol wagon. while the father was taken
to the stationhouse.
Upon arriving there he was charged
with assault and battery with intent to
kill and locked up. Mr.. Whiting appeared
to take his confinement rather hard and
when asked by the police why he had
stabbed his son said he had done it in
fit of rage and that he was sorry for
his act.
The surgeons at Providence Hospital
dressed the young mans wound. but
were unable at late hour to say how
serious his condition was.

objects and purposes OF the agreement,
continues:
His Maiesty's Government has been
| largely influenced in their decision to en-
| ter upon this important contract by the
| conviction that IL contains no provisions
| which can be regarded as an indication
! of aggressive or self-seeking tendencies
in the regions to which it applies. 1t has
| been concluded purely as a measure OF
precaution, to be invoked should occasion
| arise in defence of important British in
| terests. II in no way threatens the pres

! other Powers.
Can Operate Only for Defence.
ION the contrary. that part of it which
renders either of the high contracting
parties liable to be called upon by the
other for assistance can operate only
when one Of the allies finds himself
obliged to go to war in defence Of inter
ests which are common to bOtn. when the
circumstances in which he has taken this
step are such as to establish that the
quarrel has not been of his own seeking.
and when. being engaged in his own de-
fence. he shall find himself threatened.
not by single Power, but by hostile
coalition.
His Majesty's Government trust that
the agreement may be found Of mutual
advantage to the two countries, that
it will make for the preservation of peace,
and that should peace. unfortunately be
broken it will have the effect CT restrict
