Historical Fitness of Selecting the Nation's Capital. TO SHOW CENTUBY'S ADVANCE Mrs. A. Barneveld Bibbins Points Out Why the Exposition Should Be on Banks of the Potomac. BALTIMORE. Md., January 19.?Mrs. A. Barneveld Bibbins, ^ife of Prof. Bib bins of Goucher College, 1* enthusias tically in favor of holding in Washington the celebration at the completion of the Panama canal. Mrs. Bibbins points to some of the advantage? of the Capital city as a place for the great fair. Dis cussing the choice of a site, Mrs. liiu bins says; "The proposal that the Panama exposi tion of 1915 be held In Washington, the nation's capital, is pre-eminently fitting from an historical point of view. "The first Englishmen, and probably the first white men, who ever ascended the Potomac and visited the site of the Na tional Capital, Capt. John Smith and his companions, did so in search of the ever elusive ?Str?it of the South Se<u', or Pa cific, and the rich commerce of the east, then the supreme goal of all European navigators. No Place So Suitable. "No place is so suitable for its celebra tion as the capital cf the nation, which brought it to fruition, seated upon the spot where the first colonists attempted with their vague and crude geographical knowledge to make good the ambition of Europe three centuries ago. This, which their descendants and successors, the Americans of today, have done, should, therefore, he celebrated in the place most fitting and most commemorative of the deed. "This is neither New Orleans nor San Francisco, both of wldch will amply reap the commercial advantages of the canal; and If they harken to the experiences of previous exposition cities they will reap more If they sow less. They will doubt less find the returns far greater if they make their expenditures in the direction of building up avenues of trade, which must, perforce, come to them in large measure with the opening of the canal. Progress of a Century. "Nothing could be more appropriate than to celebrate at this proposed date the centenary of the burning of Wash ington by the British in 1814, and to em phasize the impressive^ contrast between the then chaotic, meandering town in embryo amid its forest surroundings and the magnificent world capital It has be come today. , _ , , "No mere transient white city, of stucco, staff or other artificial device, could impress. the foreign visitor with the connection of the nation's importance and achievement as the creation of this citv of stately structures and broad boulevards within a brief 100 years after its destruction by fire. ?'Its location but a short distance from the bay and but a few miles from the head of the Patuxent river, with the aid of the marines at Annapolis and the military at Fort Howard within easy reach, would seem to make the re-enact ment of the historic scenes of 1814 an im pressive possibility. Would Bepeat Historic Scenes. "What could be more timely or more Effective as an object lesson to ourselves and foreigners than the reproduction upon the actual scenes and waters of the thrilling events which 'made and pre served us a nation?' "These were teh historic scenes which established and made secure to us for all time the hard-won victories x>f the revo lution. They were the scenes in which Marvlanders bore the heroic and con spicuous chief role in thefl"fl of the British and in which W and Baltimore bore the brunt ofat tack and served as buffers and bulwarks for the rest of the nation. Should we allow these easily visited scenes and the names of their actors to go unheralded and for gotten at this opportune ^afon? "We shall be short-sighted, indeed, if we do not emphasize at this opportune moment which can never recur again with the same import and timeliness, our unexampled place in the nation s annals. Two Cities 8hould Unite. "As the events of 1814-1813 were essen tially Chesapeake events, in which "VN ash ington and Baltimore shared the combin ed danger and attack, they should be a unit in the effort to secure the honor of this centenary occasion. For it will celebrate not only the victories of the i commercial war of 181-. which made us a nation, but that-nation's great commer 1 rial peace trophy, the International canal. ( which shall in, large measure make all the nations of the earth one. But nrst as to the historic celebration. 44Oomine across from W ash in gton to Baltimore by train or trolley the specta tors would take the Patuxent river boat, and following in the wake of a counter part of Commodore Barney s stalwart flotilla mak? the Journey down the bay to the mouth of the beautiful Patuxeht, encircled bv its towering, cllfflike shoaes. Here the first encounter with the British fleet would take place. Defeat of the British. ?'Pursued by tne enemy up the river past the sites of colonial manor homes, the exquisite harbor, St. Leonard's creek or bay. would bo reached and the strategic engagement of June 10, 1814, be realistically given. Here with but thir teen barges and 300 men the intrepid Barney challenged the British with twen ty-one barges, two schooners fend 800 men, and with many wounded and great damage the enemy were put to rout and sought shelter down the river under cover of their gunships. Barney, with not a man lost, plucklly emerged from the creek and made his way up to the head of the river, where he anchored at Not tingham find ltd Ins iearless ~v n across countrv to the defence of Bladenaburg and Washington, where they rendered such signal service. "With the opening of the canal our world opportunities, obligations and exi gencies will increase side by side, and we onlv need bS ready by a little wise fore sight io meet them and to claim that which is our own." RAISING THE MAINE COSTLY. Appropriation of $300,000 Will Be Soon Exhausted. The appropriation of $.100,000, which Congress made at Its last session for the raising of the Maine will be exhausted in about six weeks.

He sug gests that the work be continued from now until the convening of Congress next December under the indefinite appropria tion act of March 3, 189?, authorising the removal of wrecks that form obstruc tions to navigation. He also invited Congress to indicate what Bhall be done with the wreck. The Secretary has received numerous requests for the masts and other parts of the ill** fated ship.
