It will be opened March 15. This action is contrary to the general policy of the department sot to locate two stations in the same block, but owing to th2 contention for the branch station in this vicinity, it wes-found expedient. Field Force of the Coast Survey. Secretary Gage has issued an order say- ing that ‘under the revision of the civil service rules of May 6, 1896, the field force of the coast and geodetic survey, except ‘persons merely employed. as laborers and workmen,’ is brought into the classified ser- vice. Laborers and workmen may be em- ployed by the chicfs of parties in accord- ence with paragraphs 56 and 61 of the regu- lations for the government of the coast and geodetic survey, at the nearest available outfitting point to the field of operations, and such temporary employes will present themselves at the outfitting point and will be*discharged at the end of the season.” Se Mr. Vanderlip’s Philadelphia Address Assistant Secretary Vanderlip of the ‘Treasury Departmert went to Philadelphia today to deliver an address before the American Academy of Political and Social Science. The annual meeting of the soci- ety will be held in the assembly hall of the Philadelphia bourse, and Mr. Vanderlip will be one of the principal speakers. He will discuss currency reform as seen in the propositions to that end before Congress. Mr. Vanderlip is an attractive and forcib) speaker. . Work on the Sundry Civil Bill. ‘Phe House disposed of thirty additicna} pages of thé Sundry civil appropriation bill yesterday. An ufisuccessful attempt to in- crease the appropriation for the suppression of epidemic /disegses $200,000 led to consid- erable debate onthe advisability of estab- lishing a natforial quarantine. The fact that the government is preparing for con- tingencies was recognized when Chairman Cannon,who has-been laboring to keep down appropriations, aecepted, without a word of protest, an amendment to increase the appropriation toicare for the unused ma- chinery at the Springfield arsenal. Mr.-Gil- lett explained that necessity for using this machinery mightsoccur at any time. Reso- lutions which wéte objected to a few weeks ago for théappointment of two ex-naval cadets to in the Engineer Gorps of the navy: were also’adopted. One of them will y's ncy caused by the death of Lieute: irritt of the Maine. Pacific En@ of the Panama Canal. Consular Clerk Murphy reports to the State Department, under date of Colon, February 8, the completion of La Boca dock, the Pacific terminus of the Panama canal. He says that as the tides run twenty-five feet there the value of the NATION'S CAPITAL Theme of Earnest Speeches at Board of Trade Reception. A REPRESENTATIVE GATHERING Members. of Congress Meet Their Constituents of the District. ANNUAL SOCIAL REUNION —__-+——- The annual reception of the Washington board of trade at the Arlington last even- ing was the occasion of great social enjoy- ment. It was evident the members of the board, who were present in large numbers, were desirous that their guests should car- ry away with them a good impression of Washington's hospitality, and this feeling contributed largely to the sociability of the evening. Many guests were present, repre- senting the cabinet, the two houses of Con- gress and the official and social circles of the city. Including the members of the board, it was perhaps as typical a gathering of the various phases of Washington life as could be got together, and several of the mem- bers of Congress who made speeches spoke of the pleasure it gave them to attend these annual receptions, as they had an oppor- tunity of making the acquaintance of so many of the citizens of Washington. The large parlors where the reception was held formed an appropriate setting for such a gathering. The walls were grace- fully decorated with smilax and trailing vines, and in the large banquet hall an elaborate scheme of decorative effect was carried out, the ceiling being festooned with cheese cloth, over which there was a tracing of trailing vines, and lines of glow- ing electric lamps, converging from a cen- tral point, added brilliancy to the scene. The side walls, which were covered with mirrors, were also appropriately adorned and follage plants and cut flowers gave additional charms. Received by President Noyes. The members of the board and their guests were received by the president of the board, Mr. Theodore W. Noyes, who was assisted by the secretary, Mr. George H. Harries, and members of the reception committee. As each member came in, a knot of ribbons bearing the name of the board was fastened by Mr. C. C. Lancaster upon the lapel cof his coat. The guests as they arrived were introduced to mem- bers of the board and to other guests, and in a short time, judging from the hum of conversation, it was evident the large com- pany had become pretty well acquainted. Of course the members of the board as a rule know each other, but then acquaint- ance with members of Congress and those in official life is not so general, and the occasion of thus bringing together the members of the common council of the city, as President Noyes in the course of his speech later on characterized the members of Congress, and their constituents, the citizens of the District, was one that was evidently generally appreciated by all. As one parlor gradually filled up the throng moved into the adjoining parlors, and here chairs had been placed in readi- ness for the time when, in accordance with the usual custom, short impromptu aa- dresses would be made by representatives of the board and their guests. President Noyes’ Address. After all had been seated in the chairs which had been provided President Noyes made the opening speech. He said that orce a year the constitu- tionally appointed local legislators of the District held an evening session at the Ar- lington, instead of at the Capitol, in which their Washington constituents participated. On these oceasions there was a strong temptation to the leyal Washingtonian to dilate upon the beauties of the capital, like # doting mother, with her only child as a text. But Washington did more than ap- peal to the national pride; in these troub- lous times, at home and abroad, it was a distinct force in developing and strength- ening the national, patriotic sentiment. He deprecated especially the seci#nal prej- udices and misconceptions which were fostered at the expense of broad American- ism, and weakened the national sentiment. He referred to his residence of four years in South Dakota just before it became a state, and described the resentment he had felt as an enthusiastic South Dakotaian concerning eastern misconceptions of the spirit and tendency of that community. He ad found, however, that there was re- cigrocity in sectional misconception, and that the west also misunderstood and mis- represented the east, including the city of Washington. He notified every western man within sound of his voice that the representation of the people of Washing- ton as untaxed mendicants, dependent upcn the national bounty, was denounced by them as an insulting caricature, as atrccious as any emanating from the ig- norant east, under whose injustice the westerner himself may have smarted. He pointed out that in the case of Wash- ington individual citizens were the donors of the soil to the nation, whereas in the case of his adopted state and others in the Louisiana purchase the nation was the donor under homestead and timber culture laws and individuals the beneficiaries. He cited the census reports of 18% to show that the municipal per capita tax levy of Washington exceeded that of the vast ma- jority of municipalities containing more than 4,000 population, and was fully up to the average of cities approximating it in population; that, for instance, it exceeded the per capita levy of of Omaha, Allegheny City and Indianapelis, and was only slightly less than that of Cleveland, Newark and Milwaukee. None of these cities, he said, had so large a per capita indebtedness as Washington, as numerous a floating non-taxpaying population. and so few money-making resources In commerce, trade and manufactures in proportion to population with which to meet this drain of taxation. National Taxation. In national taxation a like showing was made. The District contributed in 1895 to the internal revenue fund, the only nation- al tax which falls directly, unmistakably and in ascertainable amounts upon Ameri- cans, more than any one of sixteen states and five territories, and more than the com- bined contributions of Maine, Vermont, Mississippi, North Dakota, Sonth Dakota, Idaho and Wyoming, with their fourteen votes in the Senate and eighteen in the House, the bodies which disburse this fund. The per capita*contribution of the Wash- ingtonian was more than that of twenty- two states and five territories, nearly six times, for instance, that of the South Dako- taian, five times that of the Kansan and Texan,*ten times that of the Vermonter, — _ Sener of the ippian. is mistaken idea the ie of the capital, indeed scoeoaiag ane of all sorts, should be removed to the end that a broad and considerate Americanism may pervade the whole land. We Ameri- cans of 1898, he said, are to say with the fullness of conviction of more than a hun- dred years of experience what Christopher Gadsden said in 1765 in the colonial con- gress, in New York: “There ought to be no New Englandman, no New Yorker known on the continent, but ‘all American: In accomplishing this result there is a distinct field of usefulness for Washington with its unifying, naturalizing influence. Natfon’s Abiding Place. “Washington,” he sald, “was brought into being as peculiarly and exclusively the ‘home and abiding place of the nation as & 5 dominates, the American spirit is devel- ored and patriotism is strengthened. George Washington foresaw this unifying, nat ing function of the capital, and for that reason proposed to locate in it the National University ‘which is projected. Here he said the susceptible youth of the lerd, in the atmosphere of the nation’s city, and viewirg the workings of the gen- government, would be impressed with @ love of our national institutions, coun- teracting both foreign influences and sec- tional sentiments. The university of which he dreamed was never bern, but, carryin, out his idea on a grander scale, the capit: itself has become a national university, in which its whole people are students, for the promotion of liberal, enlarged and pa- triotic Americanism, teaching enthusiastic love of country and making of all of us better citizens.” Commissioner Wight Introduced. President Noyes’ utterances, especially those in regard to this city, as typifying the unity of the nation, were received with rounds of applause. Mr. Noyes then introduced Commissioner Ichn B. Wight, saying that under the Con- stitution of the United States the President is in effect the mayor of the city, but del- egates his duties to a board of three Com- missioners, one of whom has heen pro- mcted from the office of secretary of the beard of trade 4o a position in that body. He went on to say that Mr. Wight, to whom he referred, performed his duties as Cemmissioner with the same conscientious fidelity as he had those of secretary of the beard. Designating him as a_ fractional mayor of Washington, Mr. Noyes then called upon Mr. Wight. The latter never had the reputation of being an orator, but his practical, earnest treatment of public questions has always made him a favorite speaker. Last even- ing, however, as he spoke of Washington, his native city, he really became eloquent. He said that while it might seem the city was a threadbare theme on such occasions, one, he said, can always speak of his love, and he loved this city of his birth. He referred to its early colonial associa- tions, and its seventy-five years of neglect by ahe government, when it was allowed not only to pay its own expenses, but to care for the government property as well. During the last quarter of a century, he went on to say, it has attained its present proportions as a magnificent city—the seat of religion, literature, art and diplomacy, and social life. As the child of the richest nation in the world, he asked, why should she not have what she deserves? Does any one, he inquired, think the Long bridge is worthy of this city, or that the James Creek canal can be compared with the pleasure ways of Venice, or that the water supply is abundant and clean? He believed there would be no criticism from the nation at large if the national legislators appropriated money to provide for this city what ts necessary. From his experience in meeting with members of the appropriations committees of both houses, he believed that they had the earn- est desire to do all they possibly could for the city, but they were hampered by cer- tain conditions. He said that all things necessary citizens may expect to have, as they say on the hill, when their dreams are realized through the Dingley tariff bill. Mr. Wight’s words evoked the heartiest demonstration of approval from the au- derce. Representing Ed President Noyes then called on Rev. Dr. Whitman, president of Columbian Univers- ity, as the representative of the education- al influences in the city. President Whit- man said that if there was not a single school in Wasnington this city would be, as pointed out by President Noyes, the greatest university in the country, but he said in teaching there is a need of a teach- er, and su for educational purposes some- thing more is needed than a city. He spoke of the number of puptls in the pub- lic and private schools in the city, and tn the colleges and professional schools, and said tais schcol population was increas- ing, and, while the present equipment, generally speaking, might be ample for the time, it would need enlargement con- stantly. Dr. Whitman thought it was for- tunate for those present that they were living in the greatest education center of the country. He deprecated the idea of call- ing on the government to aid education, except as to the public schools, but ne believed that such educational facilities as were controlled by the government, collections of books and opportunitfes for research, should be made generally availa- ble if possible. In speaking of the heroic in American history, he referred to the Maine disaster and spoke of the spectacle of a nation under such a stress waiting calmly, firm in the conviction that the truth must first be known. Such a nation, he said, was not wanting in the heroic. Dr. Whit- man’s speech, which was a thoughtful one, was varied by several bright anecdotes, which were received with appreciation. When the City Was a Hamlet. Gen. John M. Wilson, chief of engineers, was introduced by President Noyes as a native of Washington, and he referred to ris services to the city as superintendent of the public buildings and grounds, and then as head of the engineer corps. Gen. Wilson's speech was full of fire and earnestness, and elicited many evi- dences of approval from the audience. He said he was born in this city sixty years ago, and his fataer ninety-two years ago, and nis grandfather 105. y ; and he thought that few Washingtonians Present could excecd that record. Gen. Wilson spoke of his early recollec- tions of this city when it was a hamlet, with its unpaved streets, and compareed it with its present magniticence. He said that, while a great deal nad been accom- Tlished, mor2 was to be done. He thought that Massachusetts avenue should be con- tinued over Rock creek by a fine stone viaduct and a similar structure provided for the extension of Connecticut avenue. He then spoke of the work of the Enai- necr Corps im connection with the erec- tion of the Washington monument and other public structures in this city, and, amid great applause, he. said the city it- self was a monument to the Engineer Corps. The Congressional Contingent. President Noyes then called on members of the Senate and House for brief speeches, prefacing this part of the program with the statement that if he could make sug- gestions of topics which might be discuss- ed he would include in the list the comple- tion of the system of sewage disposal, the abatement of the James Creek canal nui- sance, the reclamation of the Anacostia flats, the Increase and purification of the Water supply, the extension of the plan of city streets over the entire District and the appropriation for a free public library and a larger attendance of the House mem- bers on District days. In the absence of Speaker Reed, he said, he would call on the Nestor of the House, Representative Payne of New York, who made a very entertaining speech. Mr. Payne said he didn't understand why the members of the board of trade wanted-to hear members of Congress on such occa- sions. They wouldn't, he was sure, if they had hed his experience, nor would they care to hear any member of the co-ordi- nate branch, meaning the Senate, he said they cannot confine themselves to five- minute speeches. He spoke of what Presi- dent Noyes had said in regard to the pay- ment of internal revenue taxes by citi- zens of Washington, and added, in a jocu- lar way, that he would introduee a bill to enforce the Maine law in this city. He said, Tr, if the city were deprived of its present beverage It would be necessary to furnish a larger supply of pure water. In a more serious vein he spoke of the progress which is being made in acquaint- ing members of Congress with the true re- lations of the people of the District to the general government, and in confirmation of this he sald that for the first time in a number of years this year the usual amend- ment offered in the House to the District appropriation bill, providing that the total expenses of the District government be the bill got through the House without amendment being offered. He hoped that it would never be heard of nT pled tet tne levied on the taxable inhabitants of the H. District, somehow slipped the trolley and — duties as a local legislator of Washington. Mr. Hopkins regretted that he had not been called upon before Mr. Parne had been given a chance to Speak, as tn coming with that gentleman to the reception he had rehearsed ‘a large part of the speech Mr. Payne had just delivered. He said he was in favor of any proposition to improve this city, its streets and public buildings. He spoke warmly and heartily of the city and was enthusiastically applauded. Mr. Hicks Will Join Hands. Councilman Hicks of Pennsylvania was the next speaker, and expressed his appre- ciation of the delightful entertainment which these gatherings afforded. He said that anything which would tend to beautify the national capital ought to meet with a response from every true American. He referred to what President Noyes said as to the influence of Washington in unifying the national life, and he said the thorough Americanism of that speech reached his heart, as he was sure it did the hearts of all. He spoke of the great stress now upon the American people, and their calmness in waiting for a certain verdict before go- ing ahead. In conclusion, he said the na- tion at large does not begrudge the dollars spent in beautifying the capital city, and in forwarding this object he would join hands with the people of Washington. Mr. Thurston as Alderman. Senator Thurston of Nebraska was in- troduced by President Noyes as Alderman Thurston, and the latter responded with A very effective speech. He said he had been accustomed to hear many speeches at both ends of the Capitol, but for the first time last evening he had sat pationtly while addresses were being made. He said he belonged to the branch of the common council of the city of Washington which never cuts down an appropriation, whether it was for Washington or nything else. By simply asking, he said, an amendment for any amount could be put on the appro- priation bill in the Senne sapaea Amid much laughter, he said the parsi- montous, niggardly men the citizens of Washington had to deal with are the mem- bers of the common council. The members of that body seemed to imagine, he added, that they, of all the represen- tatives of the people, are sponsors for public enonomy. He added that perhaps one explanation of the generosity on the part of the aldermen is the belief that the amendments which they grant will never get through the common council. In @ more serious vein the senator said the people throughout the country are In favor of @ more liberal appropriation for the city of Washington. They have come to love their national capital. He said that there was »o truer lover of Washington than himseif, and none more willing to do what was just and fair for the city. He looked upon the nation’s capital as the typical American city. Excites the Pride of Al The last speaker of the evening was Councilman King of Utah. He said that the youngest state in the Union felicitates with the oldest states over the grandeur and magnificence of this city. He referred in a humorous way to what Representative Payne had said about members of Con- «ress talking too much, and said if Mr. Payne belonged to the minority in the House perhaps he would not be of that mind. He then went on to speak of some of the dangers which threaten the fuiure of the country, more especially the accumu- Jation of wealth, which had proved so fatal to nations in the past, and said care should be taken to see that the rights of the peo- ple are protected. In conclusion he said this city the pride of the east as well as of the west. The speeches being concluded, the com- pany was invited to the dining room, where a buffet luncheon was served and a social hour spent. This brought to a close one of the most successful occasions of the kind in the history of the board. Those present were as follows: Secretary Wison, Department of Agric’ ture: Senators E.
