WABttiNOTOS , Sept. 18. Another conten-
/ilal nnnivorsiry , that of the laying of the
coiner stone of the national capltol , was
commemorated tills afternoon. One hundred
years ago today George Washington , as
worshipful master of Lodge 22 of Virginia ,
w ith Masonic rites laid the corner stone of
the building w hlch , by slow stages , for sov-
cntv'-flVo jcais tlieicaftcr , grow Into ono
of the most magnificent structures
in the world. Washington , on that
occasion , were a sash and npron woven
by Lifnyctto's wife. The city was then a
jncro village , but , escorted by n , small band
of patriotic citizens and a troop of soldiers ,
the father of his country proceeded from the
white house along Ponnbvlvania avenue to
the cast front of the capltol over the saino
louto taken today by President Cleveland
nnd the great parade.
Profusely lcc rntr < l.
The impressive ceremonies wcro hold on a
big platform extending out from the cast
front of the capltol into the spacious plnza.
The stand was draped with bunting and
formed an immense tcrraco , extending to
the line of the second story of the main build'
ing. Heio and there wcro clusters of col-
oicu lamps , the columns wore decorated
with flags , the statues on each side of the
entrance were festooned , while fiom the
lantern of the dome flowed the stars and
stripes. In fact , the entlto cast fiont of the
capltol was n ma/y , fluttorlnir mass ol bunt
ing. Long before 3 o'clock , the hour sot for
the occlmiltig of the celebration , every win
dow overlooking the platfotm was crowded
with people , the porticos of the senate and
house wings , which weie fieo to the public ,
were covered line pyiannds with gazers ,
the frieze of .tho t.\minnum | on
the main building was ciowdcd with
n black line of people , while some more ven-
tuicsomohad even climbed to the dome to
watch the spectacle from that dizzy height ,
The Immense space on the plnza In front was
n moving mass of surging , elbowing people ,
extending far out Into the radiatlne avenues.
The landscape was llecked with colors.
Cavalry with shining sabers ana nodding
plumes , rod-coated artillerymen , blue Hues
* * of infantry , black Htroams of parading ci\H-
nlns and coaches equipped with postillions
uniformed with the vvhlto wig and threo-
coinercdcocaao of u century ago , formed a
moving panorama during the exorcises.
Conspicuous in the scene was the Grcenough
statue of Washington , opposite the .plat
foun. It looked as If , from the shadowy
past , the father of his country was thcro to
give his benediction and his blessing to the
celebration of today.
Warmly < Jro1oil tlio Proildont.
President Cleveland , accompanied by his
cabinet , thospcakets and the incmbois of
the committee on arrangements arrived
early. Mr. Cleveland was instantly iccog-
ni/ed and was gtcotedwlth a great cheer ,
which ho acknowledged by lifting his hat.
'Iho picsidentlal party w as follow od by the
ineinbcis of the house and senate , the Judges
of the sttpi omo court and other officials of
the govcinniont. Thcio was a conspicuous
ahscnco of the 'members of the diplomatic
corps.
Uhopiogram of th'o occasion stinted off
without a hitch. The pii'stdcnt's speech was
dollvricd , as all his speeches aio , without ,
notes. Ho stood with his classes carelessly
held bphlnd him , his loft hand
lestlng easy on the stand in
ft out. As ho faced the vast audi
ence with his head baicd to the breeze , the
lock of hair which curls upon his foiehcad
wax lifted like n feather and blown to the
rear. The rugged , healthy glow in his
cheeks and the firm , upright pose of his
beni ing did much to allay any anxiety on
the part of these who have boon troubled
nbnut the recent rumors concerning his
health. His volco was stiong and
penotiatlng and his gestuic-s vigorous. This
was especially the case when he turned lull
and fair on thu assembled house nndvscnato
and told thorn , "If the law makeis over for
got the duty of bioad and dislnteicsted pa
triotism and leglslnto In prejudice and pas
sion , or in behalf of sectional and selfish
interests , the tinio when the corner stone of
our capltol was laid and the ceremonies sut-
roundlng it will not bo worth commemorat
ing. " The added tone ot defiance and wain-
ing with w hlch Mr. Cleveland said this and
the strong npplausu that greeted it gave a pe
culiar signillcunca to his words.
Speaker Cilspand Justice Brown of the
Buvicinu court were the speakers who re
frained from the use of notes. Mr. Wirt
Henry of Vhglnia , grand sou of Patrick
Hciuy. who was the oiatorof the occasion ,

Ono hundred years ago George Washing
ton , the first president of the United States ,
standing on the hillside , then almost a
wilderness , laid the corner slono of the per-
.ntnncnt homo of congress , In whose majestic
shadow wo are now assembled. Our written
constitution , the beacon light of every free
man , was then but nn experiment , of which
the creation of n national capital , under the
exclusive control of the legislature , was the
most novel feature. Washington city was a
name ; the United States a federation of fif
teen states , sparsely populated , bounded on
the west by the Mississippi and with no port
tipon the great gulf.
How conditions have changed since Wash
ington last stood near this hallowed spot.
Today the population of the country exceeds
that of any English-speaking people ; Us
area has been cnlatged from 1 > " ] , OUO to 3.CO-1-
( XXI square miles ; its boundaries nro washed
by the two great oceans. Today we moro
than realize the hone hero expicssed by
Washington , bofoio nn assemblage small In
numbers , but strong In that faith that over-
cometh all human obstacles.
As the country grow so grow Its capltol.
Ycnr by jcar , stone upon stone , until , on
this. Its Inmdtcdth nnnlvcisary , It shows
forth the most mngnllicent stiuctuio of ani
ago , crowning the most beautiful city of the

Gentlemen of the senate ana house of rep
resentatives , as wo now commemorate the
la.vtmr of the coiner stone of jour legislative
homo It Is meet to give thanks for the pre
eminent pint taken by congress In the won-
dot fill development of the sv stem of rovern-
mcnt to which the United States owes its
sure and rapid advancement.
To congress the country Is Indebted for
the fundamental acts which lounded out
the frame of the org.inlc law and g.iAO life
nnd vigor to till its pnits. A stuav of the
history of legislative bodies in all lands and
times will disclose none the superior of the
An.cnc.in congicss , whether in intelligence ,
patriotism or in pui Ity of uurpoao.
Ladles and gentlemen , I will not detain
jou longer. Under tlio direction ortho Joint
committee of coinricss , I have now the pleas-
ui o of Intiodnciiig to you as I'hairmttn of ccic-
monlcs the woithy successor of Washington ,
the president of the United States , Grover
The president was given an enthusiastic
greeting and delivered n briuf , clmiacterislio
and appropriate udihcss. Ho said :
Air. tlovolniiil'ft Addreno.
"While I accept with much satisfaction
the part assigned mo on this occasion I can
not escape the sober lelluctlon which these
ceremonies suggest. These who suppose wo
are simply engaged in commemorating the
beginning of"a magnificent structure de
voted to important public uses over
look the most useful aim impioving les
son of the hour. Wo do , indeed , celebrate
the laying of the coinerstono from vvhlchhas
sprung the splendid edifice whose giand
proportions mouse the prldo of every Ameri
can citizen , but our celebration Is chiolly
valuable and significant because this edifice
was designed and planned by great and
good men as a place where the principles
of fieo roprcsentutivo government should
bo developed In patiiotio icvtslntiun for
the benefit of a free people If the repre
sentatives who hero assemble to make the
lavts for their fellow countrymen toiget the
duties of broad , disinterested patriotism and
legislate In piojudico and passion or gn be
half of sectional and selfish interest , the
time when the corner stone of our capitol
VVUB laid and the circumstances siiiioundiug
it would not bo worth coinmciuoriting.
' 'Tho sentiment ; md traditions eoincctcd
with this struutuio nnd Us uses
belong to all the people of the land They
are most valuable remlndets of patriotism
in the discharge ofpublic duty anu stead
fastness in many n stiugglo for the public
good. They also fuinish thnstundaid by
which our people may measure the conduct
of-thoso chosen to berv o them. Tholnexoi-
able application of this staudaid will al
ways supply the proof that ourcountrvincn
realize the value of the free Institutions
designed nnd built by these who laid the
corner stone of their capitol and that they
appreciate the necessity of constant , zealous
wntchfnlncss as n condition indispensable
to the preservation of these institutions in
puritv and Intogrtiv.
"I bollovo our follow citlrons have no bet
ter or greater cause for rejoicing on this cen
tennial than found in thu assurance that
their publitjsorvantsvvho assemble in these
halls will watch the sentiment and tradi
tions that gather round this celebration ,
that In the dajs to como these w ho shall
again celebrate the laving of the coiner
stone of their nation's capitol will find in the
recital of our performance of a public duty
no less a reason for enthusiasm and con
gratulation thin wo Hud in recalling the
visdom and virtues of these who preceded
us. "
At its conclusion fho president was cheered
with redoubled vigor.

Tito next speaker was Vco President

Gornirtn army bc an today in the presence
of n mostbillliantrcathcriiik of notable per
sonages. Tito niueitng Is especially im
portant and will bo conducted on n more ex
tensive scale than the recent crc.at assem
blage of Gorman troops at Motz , which was
given extra significance by the presence of
the Italian crown prlnca as the special
guest of Timporor William. In the
exercises today all the latest do\iccs
In the art of warfare were put in use. These
included the telephone , the field railway , the
balloon ascension nnd blciclo. and very satis
factory results w cro obtained. The princi
pal figures on the field , the emperors of Aus
tria nnd Germany , the duke ot Connaught
and the king of Saxony , watched the mo\o-
mcnts of the troops with the greatest Inter
est. The forces were divided Into
two armies nnd a battle was
fought on the same lines that would
bo followed In actual warfare. No knowl
edge was Imparted In advance to cither
army of the proposed method of attack by
the other and the only Information that
could bo learned of the intentions of the
enrmy was obtained by scouts. The only
order the commanders of the respective
bodies had was to moot the cnemv. to cmrd
the supplies and prevent surprises as they
would do in the case of contact with a leal
enemy.
The town of Guenz was captured today by
the cavahy division of the southern army
which advanced from Syria and mot the
division of the northctn army's cavalry , con
sisting of 4XX ( ) horses ami three batteries , a
few miles south of Guenz. 'Iho noithoin
forces vveio at first successful , but weio
llttallv driven back by the infantry foices ,
which accompanied the southern division
of cavahy. Twontv thous md soldiers of the
southern array advanced tltiough Guenz and
occupied the villages situated a mile north
of town.
The engagement of the rival cavalry forces
was Intensely exciting. The ompciors and
their paity wcro delighted with tho'action
if the horsemen. The battla lasted sK
nouis and cnmo too no\r real lighting to
plc.isc the participants , but It was vastly
diverting to the spectators. Several serious
accidents occulted to the cavalrymen in thu
various chatgcs that were made and a num-
Ltor of the ofllccis and men wcrethiown
fiom their horses and tiamnlcd upon.

Joseph nnd 1IU Sulco.
VIENNA , Sept. 18. The > Maggnrhrlap ! , a
newspaper published In Buda-Pesth , Hun
gary , gives the details of a plot to kill Em
peror Francis Joseph of 4U8tr'a-Hu"eary- '
The story Is to the effect that a Roumanian
boy overheard two men discussing the plot-
They were arranging to have the spikes ie-
moved from the rails at a certain point 'on
the road which the emperor was to
travel on the way to the army
maneuvers , wrecking the train , wlton , in
conclusion , the conspiratois would kill the
emperor and sulto. Having hoard so much
the boj became frightened , ran away and
told his parents. Af er consultation they
informed the police and an investigation de
veloped the fact that the spikes had recently
been loosened. Thereupon the road wascaie-
fully guarded and inspected throughout , and
arrangements made to send a private
engine in ndvanco of every tram
The bojr'and his piients were arrested and
hold as witnesses
Ono theory of the plot is that it was
caused by the anti-Austrian preaching of a
local pope of the village In Transj Ivanla in
which tlto-boy and his parents reside , where
most of the inhabitants are Roumanians
oupressod by Magyars. Another theory is
that it Is the result of the recent agitation
of the young Czechs , who have worked up an
anti-German feeling and snread revolution
ary ideas. The police are keeping the de
tails secret. The full facts will probably
never bo known.

would have' been rcsoited to. The
trouble nioso from the fact that several
hundred of the unemployed of the city
were -thcio at that hour expecting
to bo put to work on the sticets , nnd because -
cause they wcro not , some of the hot-headed
and moro desporato" ones wanted to show
their feelings bv a display of violence.
When the council sot iibklo $10,000 the

sioner inputting the unpaved btrects in re
pair and to nrovitlo employment for the idle

every man without woik was to bo immediately -
diatoly given employment. With such an
Idea prevailing Saturday moining not loss
than 000 men show ed up for w oik , a hugo
number of them with teams. Ot this num
ber nearly 150 and a third as many teams
were oiganized Into forces and pu to work.
The others shouldered tlu > ir disappointment
and went their way. Chairman Winspear of
the Bo trd of Public Works put as m my
men to wotk as ho could organize into foices
and handle in ono day.
Yestciday morning it was known that
nioto men would bo put on nnd this
caused the ciowd of unemployed to
gather at the recruiting station.
But a very few men v.cio chosen ,
.is Mr. Winspear finds that the foico is as
laigonowas can bo handled to any advan
tage. This oelng the ease it caused the
horny-handed bans of toil who tire without
work to do a vast amo'int ' of grumbling , and
the same was rapidly developing into the
volume of thunder , when HUMS explained
to the men that it was impossible to take
moro men on thu foico. Even the explana
tions did not satisfy thorn and the crowd
was a long time In dispersing.
Chairman Winspear , who is looking after
the street department during the absence of
Street Commissioner Balcorabo , sajs that ho
cannot piovido work for any larger force
thnn Is now employed , nnd it Is useless for
the unemployed to show up unless the coun

O'Nnit.L , Nob. , Sopt. 18. [ Special Tclo-
gram to Tun Hr.u. ] County Attorney Mur
phy hits roturncil from Mexico , where ha
went for tlio purpose of escorting Bnrrott
Scott back to the scones of tilt earlier
Jojs and Inter sorrows in Holt county.
Hut Scott didn't como buck.
Muiphy took with him $3,000 to ronnrd
the man who Is said to Imvo placed Scott
under ntiost In Mexico nnd fSOO for personal
expenses. Whether or not ho brought this
sum b.ick with him it the loading question
hero , nnd Murphy Is very mum , refusing
today lo maUo n stntomont when called
upon by the suporv isors , although ho states
that Scott was taken away from htm on
habeas corpus. If this was thccnso It would
look as though ho hud paid the reward to
got possession.
On thu other hand , It Is stated that Cun
ningham , the .New Mexico RhcrlfT , demands
? ! ! 00 for Scott's ' lelonso , but , however this
may bo , the county supon Isors In session
today appropriated an extra flGOO to bo
added to that already appropriated to aid In
effecting Scott's foiclblo return. The total
amount now nppropilatod , including that
already spent under the head of expanses ,
amounts to f 1-tlXI.
Mr. Muiphy was absent from O'Neill only
so\cn dajs ; that would allow him n lay
over of but ono day In Mexico , as It takes
slxdajsto make the trip. Scott's friends
don't scorn to caio whether hn is appre
hended or not , while his enemies will leave
no stone unturned In their effort to capture
him , providing the county's credit holds oufc
and wnuants cau bo sold to raise the
money.
Frank Campbell , the county's authorized
agent in the case , is now down in that coun
try , but what ho Is doing Is a mj story. In
fact , a pall of nn story hangs o\er the whole
affair. The giand Juiy has ndjouincd after
two weeks delluoiation without making any
public statement. Its Investigations were
conilncd mostly to the Scott affair. The
Jury meets again on the 20th instant.
