PRINCIPAL CEREMONY WAS HELD IN THE ROTUNDA OF THE CAPITOLPRESIDENT TAFT IN AT-TENDANCE.
Washington, May 1. High honors were paid the memory and remains oZ Maj.' Pierre Charles IEnfant, the French engineer officer, who under the authority and direction of Gen. George
Washington, planned the city of Wash
ington.
The principal ceremony was held ia
the rotunda of the United States capital , beginning about 10: 40. o'clock in forenoon, v -, Central figures In the notable gathering were the President and
Mrs. Taft, Vice President Sherman and the French ambassador, M. Jusserand. Surrounding them were jus
tices of the United States Supreme
court, senators, representatives, mem
bers ,of the diplomatic corps, the com
mission ers of the District of Columbia
and representatives of patriotic and other societies. - Remains Lie in State. The remains of Maj. D'Enfant, which were disinterred from their resting place on Digge's farm in Maryland,
where IEnfant was buried in 1825,
were taken to the capitol and lay in state in the rotunda before the commencement of the ceremonies. The casket, wrapped in an American flag and covered with beautiful floral
I . a -
rememDrances, was surrounded oy a
guard of honor composed of sergeants of the United States Engineer Corps and Capitol policemen. The setting for the ceremony was a most appropriate one. High above in the vault of the dome were the representations in allegory of human progress and human liberty. Standing around the circular auditorium of the rotunda, like silent sentinels of the republic, were the statutes of distinguished American generals and statesmen, with American history pictured In the great paintings above them. The gathering was a large one, and those present seemed to feel that the honor long due L'Enfant, though tardily paid, was at the last of a dignity
of character befitting the man and the occasion.
. Banner Salute to Taft. - The War clock on the wall of the ro
tunda, marked 10:42 o'clock when the
President and Mrs. Tart, vice presi
dent Sherman and M. Jusserand, pre-
cended by District Commissioners Macfarland. West and Judson, filed into the rotunda through a lane in thsv massed humanity, and were seated in
the center of the great audience, rso demonstration marked the entry of the distinguished party except the lowering and raising of the blue and silver banner of the Society of the Cincinnati, which was held aloft by repre
sentatives of that ancient and honor
able organization. After the prominent participants had been seated, Henry B. Macfarland, president of the board of District of Columbia Commissioners, called the assemblage to order and made the opening address.

Princeton, N. J., May 1. Charles E. Baskerville, of Royalton, Minn., a
senior in the Princeton Theological
Seminary, whose brother, Howard C
Baskerville, jr., was killed on Tuesday at Tabriz, Persia, while leading a small number of revolutionists against
the besieging troops of the Shah, has
received several cablegrams telling of
the young missionary's death.- Mr. Baskerville said: "Some of the newspaper accounts
give the Impression that my brother
met his death in a foolhardy venture, but I have received information that
my brother's courage was not reck
less or Impetuous,, but rather an action
that the circumstances demanded. The
authorities had appealed to him to lead the sally from the city to gain
food for the starving Inhabitants of Tabriz. He organized about one hun
dred and fifty men and all but nine deserted him. He' kept on despite the odds and) was shot in the heart. One cablegram to me from a prominent American in Tabriz saya Baskerville died nobly.'" Howard C. Baskerville, jr., graduated from Princeton University in 1907, with honors. He was prominent in debating and oratorical contests. He left here in June, 1907, to teach in the mission school of the American Pres
byterian church in Tabriz. On March
31, last, he left the mission school to assist the revolutionists with whom he was in sympathy, his act being formally repudiated by the American mission. He had planned to return to Princeton to take a course in the Princeton Theological Seminary next fall. His parents, the Rev. and Mrs. H. C. Baskerville of Royalton, Minn., and three brothers survive him. He was twenty-four years old.

Honolulu, March 25. My letter, this
time, will deal with' Honolulu and its various points of interest, which - we have been "covering" since' landing here ten days ago. As I stated in my last letter the city is situated on the
island of Oahu pronounced Wa-ho
on the coastal plain i between the
mountains, some tbree miles back, and the ocean. It is a modern city in every sense of the word, having miles of oiled macadamized streets, electric lights at night; a twenty-six mile street railway system, equipped with
the finest cars and served by the most obliging and courteous conductors and motormen it has ever been my good fortune to encounter; a good water-works system, supplying pure
rain-water yes, rain-water, oh, ye of
Richmond who remember last summer's drought to all parts of the city; a business section composed of
blocks of fine, up-to-date buildings, many of these being of the latest
steel and concrete, fire proof con
struction; a residence section in which, surrounded by bowers .of luxuriant tropical trees, bushes, palms and flowers, are located the beautiful homes of the people of Honolulu. A Garden City. Within this enchanting garden city of the Pacific are many things to interest those who are here on a first visit. Among these is the Executive building which was fonoqerlv the palace in the days of the Monarchy. This building, which " was built by King Kalakana some twenty years ago, is of concrete construction and stands in large park-like grounds, fronting King street. It Is now the home of the territorial government. The senate sits in a large room to the left of the main entrance. This room was formerly the king's state dining chamber. Across the hall is a larger room In which the representatives hold their sessions.
This room was the throne room under the monarchy and on the raised dias where kings and queens once sat, is now the chair of the speaker of the house. The house was in session when we visited the Executive building and the proceedings were very interesting and absolutely unlike the
legislative proceedings of any state
assembly in the United States. The members are a decided mixture. The
majority of the members, of course, were native Hawaiians, though there were also a number of representatives
of Portuguese and American birth Debates are carried on in two lan
guages, Hawaiian and English. The
native representatives all say their
say in the Hawaiian language and an
interpreter translates what, is said in to English.. Vice versa this interpre
ter translates the speeches of the
English speaking representatives into the Hawaiian language. The speak
er of the house is a native Hawaiian
and appears to be a very well educated and intellegent gentleman. Al
though a native, his English is fault
less and under his guiding hand the affairs that come before the house are
handled very expeditiously.
Governor's Office.
On the second floor are the offices
of the territorial governor. Mr. Frear,
whom we met on the occasion of our
visit to the Executive building.
To the right of the Executive build
ing is a small stone building called the Archives. This building was erected four or five years ago and contains ail the ancient as well as more recent records, communications and
treaties of the Hawaiian nation during
the years it was governed by the monarchy. No other territory or state of the country can boast of any similar
institution, as none was an independent nation before being admitted to
the Union.- Washington. D. C alone,
as the seat of the national govern
ment, is the only other place in the nation where treaties with foreign na
tions can be seen, providing the nec
essary permission could be obtained.
In the Archives the first Interesting
document is a letter signed by Ka-
mehameha the great, the first ruler of
the entire group, who won his title and possessions by right of conquest. The time of Kamehameha the great
was before the arrival of the mission
aries and the establishment of a writ
ten language In Hawaiian and the
great king signed this letter with "his
mark. Then follow many other in
teresting communications, one being a
letter to a former king from the great martyr, Abraham Lincoln, and bear
ing his signature; another is an autograph letter from U. S. Grant, when president. There are treaties galore with all the great foreign nations as
wen as with the United States, for
Hawaii was. until 1898. an Indepen
dent nation and, therefore. Just like every other country, was under tae
necessity of having its relations with
other countries Established and guaranteed by treaties. These interesting

In glancing over these documents

himself in the treaty; Queen Victoria
