President McKinley's Advocacy.

The construction OF this bridge has been
hanging fire for long time, but the death
of President Mckinley reawakened interest
In the matter, due partly to the fact that he
was known as an earnest advocate of such
a structure and was desirous Of seeing 1t
erected. In his annual message Of 1889, he
said:
The proposed bridge would be conven-
fence to all the people from every part OF
the country, ornament to the capital
city of the nation and forever stand s
monument to American patriotism. l DO not
doubt that Congress will give to the enter
prise still further proof of it's favor and

perfected plans and arranged details OF the

the Mckinley Memorial arch be made a
part Of the Washington end of the bridge
and the whole great structure known as

Gen. Wilson knew the Presidents great
interest in having the bridge built and
one OF the reasons given was that 1t would
create favorable sentiment In cementing
the growing feeling of good will between
