TUMUT 81 CAPITAL.

OF United Australia.
Melbourne, Australia, July 21.-The
committee appointed to select a site for
the lew capital OF the Federated Aus
.tIal1an states, recommended Tumut,.
New South Wales, 264 miles southwest
tof Sydney. Tumut is situated in a rich
agricultural district, and in 1899 had a
population of 1900.
The problem Of locating a capital for
the new United States of Australia has
been n of the difficult ones connect
led with the formation Of the federation.
Australia has two rival commercial
n political centers. Melbourne in Vic
toria. and Sydney in New South Wales.
They are just about 425 miles apart,
people, against 10000 for Sydney.
Their rivalry is as Intense as that OF
Chicago and st. Louis used to be, and
each hoped to be capital of the new
federation.
The determination to build q new
city for a capital was reached for rea-
sons very similar to those which caused
the United States to build q new city
In the wtlds OF the Potomac. It was
necessary to avoid dangerous rivalries
and to get all the provinces to come
into the federation.
The village of Tumut, now selected
to be created into one OF the worlds
great capitals, Is on the direct railroad
line from Melbourne to Sidney, and
about half way between the two. 1t is
in Victoria, but very close to the Vic
tcria-New South Wales line.
The plans OF the new commonwealth
look to the development Of a beauti-
full, scientific city in the new capital.
just es Washington has been built to
be n Of the beautiful capitals, and in
no wise an industrial city, so the new
Australian capital is to be developed.
