There was a meeting of the National Cnic Club last night at the home of the organization in Montague street, and af-it ended the Nominating Committee met and prepared a ist of officers who will be elected at the next meeting of the club. The new officers will be Hermann. Metz, president, Dick S.

Ramay treasurer, and A McKinney, secreary. Edward Shepard is the president of the dub and he gives way to Mr. Mets not because there is any opposition to him, but owing to the custom which prevails in the oignnuaiion to change its head at Internals Mi. Metz Is perhaps even a more pronounced reformer than is Mr. Bhepard At the meeting of the club which preceded the session of the Nominating Committee, the following were eiecte dtrustees to serve until 1905: W.

E. Clerv, Charles Edwards, J. W.i Greene, ried Hinrlchs and Herman A. Metz. Addresses were made by Charles J.

Patterson, Paik Commissioner MBrow Rev. Dr and Mr Shepard. The alter said that the trouble with the Demo-ciatic paity during the last few years was that it had gone over to Populism, and what was wanted wrf5 the return of the organization to its first principles. a handsome whte model of the future White House done in plaster of paris. It occupied the centre of the room and was the work of Col.

Bingham, who has put the ideas of Mrs Harrison into form, presen ing the well known front of the historic building, and designing the additional ells to be joined at the south and rear. Col Bingham addressed the assembled quests, biiefly outlining the advantages of the proposed changes. Five guiding principles have been followed, he said, in designing the additions to the executive mansion They are: To retain the present White House as It is unchanged, to have the additions of such a character that it will not dwarf the present mansion to preserve architectural harmony of -the whole, to relieve the pressure upon the present building for at least twenty-five or thirty years, and te 'accomplish all at reasonable expense. The-cost of fheadditions that he has designed will be in the neighborhood of $1, 100 000, Col Bingham said, this amount paying also for partial furnishing. THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

Henry F. MacFarland, president of the Board of District Commissioners, followed Col Bingham, his theme being The Development of the District of Columbia One hundred years ago, he said, the young Nation established the seat of government in the District of Columbia, and for the first time had a permanent home, after twenty-five years of wandering ftom State to State in search of a capital. Washington? he continued, chose with the eye of a surveyoi the best' site av ailable under the circumstances, and then laid it out with the eye of a soer. While men were doubting whether we would last long as a nation, George Washington was panning, with the assistance of Thomas Jefferson and LEn-fan and Ellicott, a national capital for all time, a city of magnificent proportions, greater and better in design than any the world. No other city has ever been laid out on 8ucha scale or in such a style.

Mr. MacFailand then sketched the history of the citf from Washingtons day to this. Gov. Leslie M. Shaw of Iowa npoke of the development of the States during the centuiy Since the date this celebration commemorates, he said, the Nation has If Weather Permits Most Difficult Work onNew Bridge Towers -Will be Begun.

TO BE RAISED INSIDE TOWER. Fourth One May G6 in Place Within One Week. Much Interest Is bein? manifested by people assembled on the South Fifth street dock In the Eastern Distiictl this afternoon In the expectation of seeing the first of the four saddles raised to the top of the Brooklyn tovei of the new East River Bridge The work is mor difficult of accomplishment than any part of the tower construction that pie-ceded It. About noon It was said that all of the roller beds were adjusted, and an official of the contracting company said that if the weather permitted the first sadd would undoubtedly be in place before dusk. The saddle weighs exactly the same as those that have been raised to the top of the Manhattan towr, namdv thirty-six tons.

The height of the tower is three hundred and thirty feet above high water mark For the past three weeks workmen have been engaged in constructing special false work on the extreme top of the- toweis for the purpose of raising these heavy masses of steel Over 3 600 feet of highly tempered steel, run through innumerable tackles, will be used in hoisting the saddles into positiion' The hoisting engine operates from the roadway level and the Steel wires are, wound around a windlass, while the saddle is being raided in the interior of fhe tower itself So excellently devised have been the plans of the bridge that the possibility of a hitch or an accident is very remote Unlike the old bi id-re, th towers of which are composed of solid granite or limestone, the to era of th new brid are of braced and riveted steel columns, affording an oppoitunity of hoisting the saddle in the interior of the tovrer and not outside of it. This woik piactically completes the woik on the towers, wi'h the exception of raising smal beams of steel which will constitute the cones on eah tower for the purpose or ornamenting the top of the structure. While the work to-day has been carefully planned and will without doubt be carried out successfully, the engineers look upon the task as one of great difficulty and in some respects, danger, and they will feel relieved when the fourth saddle is up which will probably be within a week.

WAFHINGTON, Dc 12 The President and Congress, th Supreme Court and twenty-seven Governors, marching soldiers and cheering throng-3, all In a lty gaily festooned the national colors, to-day celebrated the fact that one hundred years ago the permanent seat of the United States Gove -nment was established in Washington. The centennial exercises began at 10 oclock at the White Hou3e, and will end this evening with a reception to the visiting Governors and their staffs at the beautiful C'oieoran Galleiy of Art. This afte-noon there was a parade participated In by five thousand men on hoiseback, in carriages, and afoot, a review of the marchers by President McKinley at the east front of the Capitol building, and in. terestlng exercises in the House Chamber of the Capitol itself, in whl-h both branches of the National Legislature Joined, assisted by the members of the Supreme Court, clad in their robes of office. The crow ds along the line of the pageant, at the White Hcfuse, and at the Capitol exceeded those of any celebration since the last inauguration.

Early In the morning, Pennsylvania av. enue, the great broad thoroughfare that Stretches from the Treasury Building to the Capital, was roped off by order of the District 1 Commifcsionei to keep the crowds from Interfering with the parade. There was an extra effort made by business men who had not completed the decoration of their houses, and much racing mind down thcvTrw-nue by mounted hien anxious to pemect the last details of the foimation of the parade latei in the day RECEIVED BY THE PRESIDENT. At 10 oclock President McKinlej, attired In hia usual Pnnca Albert coat and light trousers, and -wearing the accustomed pink carnation in h'a button hole, came briskly downstairs and entered the blue room to meet the visiting Gmernois and other State dignitaries Col Bin's-barn, Superintendent of Public Bullions and Grounds, acted as master of ceremonies, introducing each gentleman as he stepped up to shake hands with the President.

12 -Register Howe, of Biooklyn, is here to attend the centennial of the establishment oC the eat of government at Washington, as well as to look after the interests of some of his former constituents. 1 A The River and Harbors Committee will probably complete its bill early next week. It has been far enough completed to make it apparent that it; will appropriate about twenty millions, and make authorisation for riveF and harbor improvements, involving an expendltuie ultimately of about thirty-five millions additional. Until the vote on the adoption of the Pavts amendment to the Hay-Punoefote treaty is had, to-morrow, it will be impossible to know' what the Senate will do with this instrument. Tije fight is very close, with chance a shade favorable to the ratification of the treaty with the Davis amendment added.

The denial made by the State Department yesterday that no assurances had beei received that Great Britain would accept the amended treaty is somewhat surprising, in view of the assertion by a member of the Foreign Relations Committee that, despite the public utterances of British statesmen Great Britain would accept the amendment, and that he had official knowledge to that effect It is posslbe that Secretary Hays denial of yeExeitay simply means that the Administration, despite the unfavorable outlook, has not given up the fight for the ratification of the treaty unamended A.
