Washington in 1901.

when Jefferson became President in 1901
the national capital looked very much as it
did when ten years before Washington sur
veyed the unbroken forest site from
Georgetown Heights. The two older cities
of the federal District, Georgetown in the
northwest and Alexandria in the southwest,
were unchanged for the plans of Washing

THE NATIONS CITY
Commissioner Macfarland's
Address at st. Louis.
STRONG PRESENTATION
WASHINGTON THE CENTER OF
NATIONAL INTEREST.
A Glorious Future in Contrast With
History of Struggle and
Disappointment.

Commissioner Netherlands speech at the
st. Louis exposition on the 10Th instant, in
connection with the District day cere-
monies, which was not at the time fully
reproduced. has attracted attention in many
quarters as an effective presentation Of
the Districts status, especially in regard
to it's relations to the federal government.
Mr. Macfar1apd said.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-10-29

few private structures for hotels and
boarding houses. The federal city from the
hills surrounding the great, beautiful am
phitheater of the District with the Poto-
mac river glistening through it. was other
wise almost as wild as when Captain John
Smith first visited it. The national govern
ment had done nothing for the national
capital. because 1T had nothing to do with.
1t was practically pennileSs. 1t came to the
federal District on the gifts of the original
proprietors of the site of Washington and
on the loans from Virginia and Maryland.
There is a curious delusion in many quar-
tiers that the national government supports
the expense of the national capital, and has
always done so, and ignorant people some
times say the inhabitants of the District
of Columbia are and always have been
mendicants with respect to the national
government Almost the reverse Is the
case. The national government was liter
ally mendicant when 1t came to the Dis
trict and the inhabitants furnished even
the buildings in which it did it's work.
And then for seventy EIGHT years the ma
tional government allowed, and indeed re-
quired, the comparatively few people pay
ing taxes in the District to carry practi-
cally the whole burden of municipal expen-
diture. The making of the national capital,
which ought to have been from the begin
ming the task of all the people of the
United States, was at the beginning I'M
posed upon the few residents or the DIS
trict and its maintenance. which ought
to have been largely the work of the whole
country was for more than three-quarters
of a century practically exacted OF the peo-
pie who had the misfortune to live In the
national capital. At first the national gov
eminent still almost experimental, burden
ed with the revolutionary debt, and with
out money, representing country drained
by war and with resources undeveloped,
could do nothing else. But there Is no
excuse for the neglect of after years. Presi-
dents senators and representatives repeat
edly acknowledged the national obligation
to the national capital and acknowledged
the neglect of it, Official reports praised
the public spirit of the District residents,
deplOred the staggering effect of their mu-
nicipal burdens and reproached Congress,
but beyond adding to the buildings which
had been given to 1t in 1900. or erecting new
ones for its use, and providing an aqueduct
to bring water for its needs, the national
government did practically nothing for the
national capital. The municipal improve
ments had to be made and the municipal
services had to be maintained by the people
who lived in Washington. The national
government, of course, did nothing in
Georgetown or in Alexandria, and those
municipalities had to bear all their ex-
penses. By 1916 Alexandria had become SO
dissa tisfied that it brought about the retro
cession to Virginia of the territory she had
given for the District. leaving only the
seventy square miles of land and water
coded by Maryland Including the whole
breadth of the Potomac.

NO BULL FIGHT
STOPPING THE PERFORMANCE
CREATES A RIOT.
Howlins Mob Attack BOX Office, and
Failing to Get Their Money Back
Fire the Immense Building,
Which Is Soon Destroyed.

st. Louis, June 5.-lncensed over
their failure TO see a genuine Span
ish bull fight which the authorities
had ordered stopped, a riot was start.
ed, In. an arena near the Worlds Fair
grounds this evening by a crowd o,
500 men and boys. who were unable
td get their money back end the
bui1 ding was burned TO the ground.
Four men were placed under arrest.
charged with the destruction of prop
erty. The crowd, thinking these men
were connected with the show, made
an attempt TO mob them and in their
encounter with the deputy sherlffs,
a number were roughly handled and
some received scalp wounds The
building Is said to have cost $25, 900
The initial performance by the com
pany Of Spanish bull fighting had
been advertised for today. but Cover
nor Dockery, to whom numerous pro-
tests had been made, ordered that II
should not be allowed to take place.
Despite these orders, a large crowd
assembled in the arena at the adver-
tised time Of the opening. Before the
regular performance, a number of
cowboys drove in some bulls, which
they ran around the arena in true
wild Western style. The crowd soon
became tired Of this and called for
the bull fight
The announcement was then made
that the bull fight would be pro-
ceeded with. As the matadors came
into the ring a county official handed
the announcer a paper informing him
that the proposed show could net
take place When this became known
to the crowd they leaped into the
arena and demanded the return of
their money. Failing in this. the
crowd went to the office, which was
located in a small building outside
'H' arena anu DtBdu 10 slpHe lnS
structure. This was followed by at
tempts to burn the arena which was
an immense building constructed of
pine. The efforts were finally sue
cessful, and the whole structure was
soon in ruins. 4 call was made for
the fire department but the single
engine that responded became stuck
in the mud and there was nothing TO
stop the progress of the flames.

the tamest affair OF its kind in the

will be named by acclamation, the
platform adopted as already prepared
ana the cheering INDUCED in when
the signal is given. The only ele-
ment of uncertainty about II is the
choice Of the convention for second
place. Here, instead OF contest for
the place, is a wild scramble to get
away from it, making it necessary fCI

The hard, rock-like surface Of the
