A committee consisting of fif-
teen residents of Washington D
C and the Governors of forty
four states and territories now in
session here will recommend to
Congress that Inaugural day
shall be changed from the fourth
of March to the last Thursday
in Apiil This committe agreed
unanimously that effort should
be put forth to induce Congress
to change the date of Inaugura-
tion During the meeting it was
recalled that the deaths of Sena-
tor Gates of Tennessee Ambas
sador Aspiroz of Mexico and
Judge Lawrence Weldon had all
been due to the result of expos-
ure on Inauguration day while it
was impossible to estimate the
number of less prominent victims
of that inclement season As
has been so often' said in these
letters it is of the greatest im-
portance that this date should be
changed The country owes it to
to the Chief executive it selects
inaugurate him at a time when
he will not risk his health and
even his life in accepting his
office It owes it to the vast
number of citizens who are pres-
ent at the Inaugural ceremonies
that they shall not be exbosed to
the elements at a season which
in the climate of the District ot
Columbia is probably the most
disagreeable ot the year Thous-
ands of people from every part of
the Union take advantage of the
reduced railway rates at Inau-
gural time to' viit the Capital
and it is only fair to them that
they should be invited to come
no ly when the city is more
attractive but when the season is
such that they ruu some chance
of being able to get about and
see some of the many interesting
sights they have come so far and
paid so much to see The Thir-
tieth of April was the date of the
Inauguration of President Wash-
ington and has so tar the sanc-
tion of precedent but it will be
necessary to have an amendment
to the constitution tn order to
legelly change the day now A
resolution to this effect was pro-
posed by the late Senator Hoar
-and had the approval of the Sen-
ate but did not reach a rote in
the House
The Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs of Russia Count Lamsdorf
has officially expressed profound
regret for the attack a few nights
ago on Mr Bliss of the Ameri-
can Legation in St Petersburg
by roughs There will be no
diplomatic entanglement on ac-
count of the incident which hap-
pily wa3 without serious conse-
quences to Mr Bliss but it is
the generally expressed senti-
ment m Washington that Mr
Bliss knowing the condition ' of
affairs in the Russian Capital
would have better represented
his country by staying in
o’nights than promenading on a
“fashionable thoroughfare" in
the wee sma’hoiirs The great-
est friendliness that the United
States can show the harassed
Russian government at' present
is by keeping her representatives
out of scraps with the natives
Following the formal conclu-
sion of the Advisory Board of
Engineers it is announced now
that the Panama Canal will be
built with its summit level thirty
feet above the maiu level of the
oceans This plan it is believed
can be carried out for about the
amount which Congress has
placed at the disposal of the
President It is understood that
the President approves this
plan and it is expected that the
Advisory Board may amend their
conclusion to recommend this
level for the Canal putting it
for desirability and expediency
practicalls on a parity with the
sea- level proposal The types
of Canal that have been discuss-
ed are ninety sixty and thirty
loot level s lock and sea level
The difference in expense is not
nearly so great between the dif-
erent 1 e’e type as' is supposed
ut between the' lowest lock-level
and the sea level there is a
great difference For instance
he estimate made by Engineer
Stevens shows that for the nine-
ty foot level the excavation
would be 62000000 yards for a
sixty foot level 103000000 yards-
or the thirty foot level 135000
000 yards while for the ‘ sea-levei
the amount is 244000000 Chief
Engineer Stevens will sail from
the istmus December 9 and reach
Washington about Dec 15 when
the conclusion ot the Advisor
loard will be laid before the
Canal authorities
The President and Mrs Roose-
velt will go to Annapolis Sat-
urday to witness the football
game between Army and Navy
teams This annual trip to ih
ootball game between Annapolis
and West Point is - an extremely
smart affair and the guests who
accompany the President are con
sidered even more favored than
those asked to dine at the White
louse They will go in the
special car and be accompanied
by Miss Alice Roosevelt Miss
thel Roosevelt captain and Mrs
Cowles the latter the sister o1
the President and Secretary an
Mrs Root and about sixteer
other prominent friends The
arty will return to Washington
shortly after the game arriving
in Washington in the evening
Secretary Root has placed a i
very prompt quietus upon th
filibustering enterprises of the
real estate agents in tbe Isle
ines Cuba and has emphasis-d
his disapproval of the scheme
and presumably of ali similat
schemes by requesting the resig
will be a much more active and
strenuous though an equally
pacific Secretary of State- corn-
nation of the United states miri- PreJ Wlth hs distinguished pre
ster to Cuba Mr Squires All decessor' He h'£s planned a trip
the diplomatic world wonderco
and doubtless still wonder- that
when we had Spain at our mere
we paid her twenty mi 1-V f
dollars for the privilege id ligh
iug desperately for the I’hili
pines and declined to plje tl
ripe plum of Cuba ready it r ou
hand and close to our sboies
There are those who think that
the day is not tar distant when
Cuba will beg to to be annex-
ed to the United States an 1 then
the Isle of Pines will of course
come with her
It is evident that Mr Root
