PREFACE.
THE DAILY NEWS ALMANAC for 1892, while cover-
ing with completeness its usual wide range of subjects, is specially
designed to be a vade mecum for the presidential campaign of the
year. A complete comparison of the imports and exports under
the old and new tariffs will enable the reader to determine what has
been the effect of the change in the tariff laws. A full and impar-
tial history of the coinage of gold and silver, with summary of all
laws passed since the formation of the government, is given^ so that
tt may readily be seen how the two metals have been used in our
coinage and how the ratio between the two has been maintained.
An account of the rise and progress of the farmers 1 movement in
the United States is of timely interest.
Liberal space is allotted to the World's Fair at Chicago.
7 he New Orleans massacre and fhe diplomatic correspondence
with Italy growing out of it are t> eated at length. A complete ac-
count of the Nicaragua canal, with a statement of previous efforts
at its construction, is given. The progress and culmination of the
confederation movement in Australia and the Chilean war, which
are among the foreign events that have awakened widespread in-
terest in this country, are concisely discussed
In religious matters the history of the efforts at creed revision
in the Presbyterian church is set out at some length the subject
being of general interest to Christians of all denominations.
Politically 1891 was an "off year " but elections have been held
in nineteen states, jive of which chose their governors. Among these
five are some that are regarded as pivotal in the presidential elec-
tion of the year, while all have an important bearing on that
contest.
The DA1L Y NE WS ALMANA C for 1892, as will be seen
by reference to its indeod contains a vast amount of new matter
which is of very general public importance and value. No pains
have been spared to meet the universal demand for non-partisan and
reliable information upon educational, political, financial and relig-
ious affairs. 1 he census returns have been drawn on for much
late and valuable statistical matter. The invitation is renewed by
the editor to all friends of \the work to furnish him With criticisms
and suggestions for future issues.

HISTORY OF OUR COINAGE.
27
HISTORY OF_OTTR COINAGE.
Including a summary of all the laws of the United States for the minting
of gold and silver.
THE FIRST COINAGE LAW.
THE ACT OF 1792.
The first act of the congress of the United
States respecting coinage was the act of April
2, 1792, entitled "An act establishing a mint
and regulating the coins of the United States."
The ninth section of this act provided:
"That there shall be from time to time
struck and coined at the said mint, coins of
?old, silver and copper of the following de-
nominations, values and descriptions, viz:
Eagles each to be of the value of ten dollars
or units, and to contain two hundred and forty-
seven grains and four-eighths of a grain of
pure, or two hundred and seventy grains of
standard gold."
After providing for half eagles, each to be
of half the value of the eagle, and quarter
eagles, each to be'of one-fourth of the value
of the eagle, the section continues, as follows:
'Dollars or units Each to be of the value of
Spanish milled dollar as the same is now
current, and to contain three hundred and
seventy-one grains and four-sixteentli parts
of a grain of pure, or four hundred and sixteen
grains of standard silver."
The act also provided for half-dollars, quar-
ter-dollars, dimes and half-dimes, each to con-
tain, respectively, one-half, one-fourth, one-
tenth and one-twentieth of the pure silver
contained in the dollar. The coinage of cents
and half-cents of copper were also provided
for.
It will be seen that in this first coinage act
the words "dollar or unit" are applied equally
to dollars of gold and the dollar of silver that
is, "dollar" is the name of the unit of money
in our system, and the gold eagle was to be
of the value of ten dollars, or units. The coin
which represented exactly the unit was the
silver dollar, and the act provided that it
should be of the value of the Spanish milled
dollar, as that piece was then current. The
assay of a number of Spanish dollars, then in
common use, showed them to contain three
hundred and seventy-one and a fourth grains
of pure silver, or four hundred and sixteen
grains of standard silver.
The proportion of pure gold to the alloy in
gold coins was made by this act, eleven parts
gold and one part alloy, the alloy being com-
posed of silver and copper. The proportion of
pure silver to the alloy in silver coins was
made fourteen hundred and eighty-five parts
fine silver to one hundred ana seventy-nine
parts alloy. The reason for this proportion of
silver to alloy was that the alloy was found in
that proportion in the Spanish dollars then
current. These coins having been a long time
in circulation were more or less worn and
their assay did not show the exact original
weight of the coin, and probably not the exact
original proportion of alloy. The alloy in the
silver dollar consisted of 44^ grains of copper,
making the dollar 892.4 fine; this, by the act
of 1837, was changed to S\>/i grains of copper,
making the standard nine-tenths fine. Section
11 of the act provided:
"That the proportional value of gold to sil-
ver in all coins which shall by law be current
as money within the United States, shall be as
weight of pure gold, and so in proportion as
to any greater or less quantities of the respect-
ive metals."
A dollar of gold contained 24.75 grains of pure
metal, and a dollar of silver 371.25 grains-
being exactly 15 to 1. Section 14 provided.
"That it shall be lawful for any person or
persons to bring to the said mint gold and sil-
ver bullion, in order to their being coined;
and that the bullion so brought shall be there
assayed and coined as speedily as may be after
the receipt thereof, and that free of expense
to the person or persons by whom the same
shall have been brought. And as soon as the
said bullion shall have been coined, the per-
son or persons by whom the same shall have
been delivered,shall,upon demand, receive in
lieu thereof coins of the same species of bull-
ion which shall have been so delivered, weight
for weight, of the pure gold or pure silver
therein contained."
Section 16, which follows, made the coinage
of both metals equally a lawful tender in all
payments whatsoever, thus establishing the
free coinage and full legal tender of both met-
als without limit, at the ratio of 15 to 1. The
exact language of section 16 of the act is:
"That all the gold and silver coins which
shall have been struck at. and issued from the
said mint, shall be a lawful tender in all pay-
ments whatsoever; those of full weight ac-
cording to the respective values hereinbefore
declared, and those of less than full weight
at values proportional to their respective
weights."
Thus it will be seen that by this first act of
congress establishing a mint, gold and silver,
as recommended by Hamilton and Jefferson,
and approved by Washington, were placed
upon an exact equality as money metals, and
their coinage made free and unlimited.
The ratio of 15 to 1 foi American coins was
not exactly in accordance with the ratio which
then prevailed in European countries. Silver
was slightly over-valued and gold a little
under-valued. The result was that the metal-
lic money of the United States, during this
period consisted mostly of silver coins and
largely of foreign coins. BuUll, 908,890of gold
altogether were coined from 1793 to 1834, and
this was generally soon exported. The pro-
duction of gold for the same period in the
United States is given at $14,000,000.
But it should be remembered that this ratio
of 15 to 1 was adopted eleven years before the
law of France, enacted in 1803, fixed the wav-
ering ratio at 15^ to 1, at which it stood with-
out variation except as accounted for by the
course of exchange, till 1873.
COINAGE LAWS FROM 1792 TO 1873.
The act of May 8, 1792, provided for the pur-
chase of copper, "not exceeding 150 tons," "to
be coined into cents and half cents," which,
by the act of April 2, 1792, were to contain
respectively eleven and five and a half penny-
weights. The act of Jan. 14, 1793, provided
that the cent piece should contain 208 grains
of copper and the half cent 104 grains.
The act of Feb. 9, 1793, prescribed the rates
at which foreign gold and silver coins should
be legal tender in the United States. This act
provided that Spanish milled dollars should
be legal tender "at the rate of 100 cents for
each dollar, the actual weight whereof shall
not be less than seventeen pennyweights and
seven grains." Section 2 of this act provided,
"That at the expiration of three years next
ensuing the time when the coinage of gold
and silver, agreeably to the act entitled 'An
act establishing a mint and regulating the
coins of the United States.' shall commence
at the mint of the United States (which time
shall be announced by the proclamation of
the president of the United States), all foreign
gold coins and all foreign silver coins, except
CHICAGO DALLY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1892.
Spanish milled dollars and parts of such dol-
lars, shall cease to be a legal tender, as afore-
said." By this provision it will be seen that
while all other coins were to be deprived of
legal tender, the Spanish milled dollar was to
continue to be a part of the money of the
country.
Section 5 of the act of March 3, 1795, pro-
vided for the deduction of 2 cents per ounce
from deposits of silver bullion when below
the standard of the United States, and 4 cents
per ounce from gold bullion below the United
States standard, to cover the cost of refining.
Section 7 of this act provided that preference
mteht be given in coining gold or silver
bullion which came up to the United States
standard, over that which required to be re-
fined. Section 8 of the same act authorized
the president of the United States to reduce
the weight of the copper coin.
The act of Feb. 1, 1798, suspended lor three
years the act of Feb. 9, 1793, and made foreign
gold and silver coins legal tender until 1801.
Section 2 of the act of April 24, 1800, provided
"That there shall be retained from every de-
posit in the mint of gold or silver bullion be-
low the standard of the United States such
sum as shall be equivalent to the expense
incurred in refining the same." Thus, the only
charge made at the mint against either gold
or silver bullion was the cost of refining it
when below the coining standard.
The act of April 10, 1806, repealed the act of
Feb. 9, 1793, regulating foreign coins, and pro-
vided that "Foreign gold and silver coins shall
pass current as money within the United
States and be a legal tender for the payment
of all debts and demands," at rates provide d
in the act. Among the coins named was the
Spanish milled dollar. This act also made it
the duty of the secretary of the treasury to
cause assays of foreign coins to be had at the
mint of the United States each year and to
make a report thereof to congress.
The act of April 21, 1806, provided penalties
for falsifying or counterfeiting coins of the
United States, or foreign coins circulating in
the United States.
The act of April 29, 1816, provided that after
three years gold coins of Great Britain,
France, Portugal and Spain, and the crowns
and 5-franc silver pieces of France should not
be legal tender. This act was, however, mod-
fled by the act of March 3, 1819, which pro-
vided that from and after the 1st day of No-
vember of that year foreign gold coins should
cease to be legal tender in the United States.
The French crown and 5-f ranc piece, however,
were continued as legal tender for two years
and were afterward continued legal tender
till 1823 and again till 1827.
But by the act of March 3, 1823,all foreign gold
coins were again made receivable for public
lands. The act of June 25, 1834, made the dol-
lar piece of Mexico, Peru, Chile and Central
America and the 5-f r&nc piece of France legal
tender at their nominal value when of full
weight.
As will appear from the foregoing summary
of the coinage laws from 1792 to 1834, the coin-
age of both gold and silver for the benefit of
the holder remained free and unrestricted at
the ratio of 15 to 1, as established by the act of
1792, and that during this period foreign gold
and silver coins, at values designated by con-
gress, continued to be current in the United
States. It is worthy of note roo. that at no time
was the Spanish milled dollar, the prototype of
the American standard dollar, barred from cir-
culation or deprived of its legal tender quality.
In 1834 the first change in the ratio of pure
metal in the gold and silver coins of the
United States was made. By the act of June
28,the pure gold in the gold eagle was reduced
from 247H> grains to 232 grains, and the other
gold pieces in proportion. Section 3 of the act
changing the weight of gold coins provided
"That all gold coins of the United States
minted anterior to the 31st day of July next
shall be receivable in all payments at the rate
of 94.8 cents per pennyweight."
By an act of the same date foreign gold
coins were made current in the United States
at the same rate per penny weight as provided
for United States gold coins, except French
gold coins, which, being nine-tenths fine (in-
stead of eleven-twelfths fine, as were our first
gold and most foreign gold coins), were made
current at the rate of 93.1 cents a penny-
weight.
This act of 1834 making the eagle contain 232
grains of pure and 258 grains of standard gold,
changed the alloy to very nearly one-tenth in-
stead of eleven-twelfths. If the pure gold in
the eagle had been made 232.2 grains instead
of 232 grains, the proportion of pure gold to
alloy would have been exactly as 9 to 1. The
change to this proportion was made three
years later when the French standard of fine-
ness was adopted for both gold and silver
coins, and from that date all our gold and sil-
ver coins have been nine-tenths fine.
The new gold coins provided for by the act
of 1834 were made legal tender in all payments.
The old gold coins, those coined prior to 1834,
as shown above, were made receivable in all
payments at the rate of 94.8 cents per penny-
weight, and as the eagle piece contained 270
grains eleven-twelfths fine, or 27 grains of the
then standard gold to the dollar, these coins
were by this act raised to $1.066.
The ratio of pure gold to pure silver in our
coins was made by the act of 1834, 23.2 to 371^,
or almost exactly 16 to 1. No change was made
in our silver coins by the act of 1834. Why the
ratio should have been changed at this time
from 15 to 1, as established in 1792, to 16 to 1,
thirty-one years after the French act of 1803,
which had practically fixed the ratio for all
Europe at 15} to I, is difficult to understand.
The reason usually given is that under the
ratio of 15 to 1 little or no gold came or stayed
here, and new mines of gold having been dis-
covered in North Carolina and Georgia about
this time, the higher ratio was adopted in or-
der to give the gold a higher rating relatively
to silver, and thereby keep it here.
In the debates in the house in 1834 there was
some opposition to the adoption of the ratio of
16 to 1, but an amendment offered in the house
by Mr. Selden to make the ratio 15.K25 to 1 was
voted down by 127 to 52. In the senate there
was but little discussion on the subject and
but seven votes were cast against the bill. Mr.
Ewing, however, as did Mr. Gorham of the
house, expressed the opinion that the act
rated gold too high and that the effect would
be that silver coins would leave the country
as gold coins had before.
It the ratio fixed in the act of 1792 was a mis-
take, the ratio adopted by the act of 1834 was a
much greater mistake, since, while in 1792
Europe had not settled on a definite ratio, in
1834 the ratio of 15^ to 1 had been well estab-
lished for over thirty years. This mistake has
been a grievous stumbling-block in the way ot
establishing a uniform ratio for the different
countries.
The discovery of gold in North Carolina and
Georgia led to the establishment in 1835 of
three branch mints, one at New Orleans, one
at Charlotte, N. C., and one at Dahlohnega,
Ga.; but except the mint at Xew Orleans they
were little used.
The act of Jan. 18, 1837, revised the mint laws
throughout and condensed the whole into
thirty-eight sections of a new act, which is
known as the mint act of 1837. Section 8 of this
act provided "That the standard for both gold
and silver coins of the United States shall
HISTORY OB' OUR COINAGE.
rts by weight
900 shall be of pure metal and 100 of alloy; and
the alloy of the silver coins shall be of copper;
and the alloy of the gold coins shall be of cop-
per and silver, provided that the silver does
not exceed one-half of the whole alloy."
Section 9 provided "That of the silver coins
the dollar shall be of the weight of 412^
grains; the half-dollar of the weight of 20CJ|
grains; the quarter-dollar of the weight of
103^ grains; the dime, or tenth part of a dol-
lar, of the weight of 41^ grains; and the half-
dime, or twentieth part of a dollar, of the
weight of 20^6 grains. And that dollars, half-
dollars and quarter-dollars, dimes and half-
dimes shall be legal tenders of payment ac-
cording to their nominal value for any sums
whatever."
Section 10 provided "That of the gold coins
the weight of the eagle shall be 258 grains;
that of the half-eagle 129 grains, and that of
the quarter-eagle 64J4 grains. And that for all
sums whatever tfce eagle shall be a legal ten-
der of payment for $10. the half-eagle for $5
and the quarter-eagle for 12.50."
Section 11 provided "That the silver coins
heretofore issued at the mint of the United
States, and the gold coins issued since the
31st day of July 1834, shall continue to be legal
tenders 8f payment for their nominal values
on the same terms as if they were of the coin-
age provided for by this act."
The only change made in the gold coins by
this act, from the act of 1834, was that by this
act the alloy in gold coins as well as in silver
coins was made exactly one-tenth; that is, the
standard for coins of both metals was made
by this act nine-tenths fine; and since the
passage of this act standard gold and standard
silver is understood to be gold or silver nine-
tenths fine. To bring the alloy in gold coins to
exactly one-tenth of the weight of the coin, the
small fraction of two-tenths of a grain of
pure gold was added to the weight of the
eagle, or two-hundredths of a grain to a dol-
lar, and the alloy reduced by the same
amount, so that the weight of the eagle re-
mained exactly the same under both acts;
that is, 258 grains for the eagle piece, or 25.8
grains to the dollar. But by this change in the
relative weight of pure metal and alloy, the
ratio between gold and silver coins was
changed from almost exactly 16 to 1, to 15.988-
plus to 1, our present ratio.
After providing for devices, legends, etc., on
the various coins, section 14 provided "That
gold and silver bullion brought to the mint
for coinage shall be received and coined by
the proper officers for the benefit of the de-
positor."
It was made lawful by this act to refuse a
deposit of less value than $100, or of bullion so
base as to be unsuitable for the mint. Depos-
itors were to be paid for bullion in coin, and
in the order in which deposits were made.
Sections 15 and 19 provided for weighing de-
posits in the presence of the depositor and for
giving a certificate for the net amount "to be
paid in coins of th same species of bullion as
that deposited."
Section 18 specified what charges the depos-
itor of bullion should be subject to. These
are: "For refining when the bullion is below
standard," for purifying "when metals are
contained in it which render it unfit for
coining." etc. These charges were not to ex-
ceed r however, the cost to the mint of the
labor and materials required to bring the
metals to the proper standard.
Between the act of 1792, establishing the
mint, and the act of 1837, no change whatever
was made in the silver coins, and the only
change made in these coins by the act of 1837
was the change in the alloy from 44% grains, as
contained in the dollar of the act of 1792, to
41J4 grains, the pure sliver being left the same
exactly by the act of 1837 as it was in the orig-
inal act of 1792. The pure gold was changed
from 24.75 grains to a dollar, as in the act of
1792, to 23.22 grains, as fixed in the act of 1837.
As 371!^ grains is the weight of pure silver in
our present standard dollar, it will be seen
that this unit has therefore never varied in
weight of pure metal through all the changes
of our mint laws. It stands to-day the same
dollar it was when our money system was
established.
By the act of March 3, 1843, British gold coins
were made legal tender at the rate of 94.6
cents per pennyweight; French gold coins
nine-tenths fine were made legal tender at the
rate of 92.9 per pennyweight. By the same act
the silver dollars of Mexico, Peru and Bolivia
were made legal tender at their nominal value ;
the French 5-franc piece was made legal ten-
der for 93 cents.
The act of March 3, 1849, provided for the
gold dollar piece to contain 25.8 grains of
standard gold and "to be of the value of one
dollar, or unit." This act also provided for a
$20 piece.
The act of March 3, 1851, provided for coin-
ing the 3-cent piece to meet the requirements
of the 3-cent postage law.
The change in the ratio to 16 to 1, in 1834,
while the European ratio stood at 15!^ to 1, led
to the exportation of nearly all our full-weight
silver coins. For, by this variation in the ratio
between the two metals i the United States
and in Europe, full-weight silver coins were
worth for export a little more than 3 per cent
more than our gold coins; and as our sub-
sidiary coins contained proportionally the
same weight of pure silver contained in the
dollar piece, it was as profitable to export
these coins as the dollar piece; consequently
the country was well-nigh depleted of small
coins. To remedy this evil congress, by the
act of Feb. 21. 1853, reduced the weight of the
half-dollar from 206^ grains to 192 grains
standard silver and the smaller silver coins in
proportion. Until this act fractional silver
coins were legal tender for all sums; but by
this act they were made legal tender for $5
only. Deposits of silver for coinage into frac-
tional pieces for the benefit of the depositor
were no longer received, but provision was
made for the purchase of silver bullion on
government account for the fabrication of the
light-weight subsidiary coins. The same act
provided for the redemption of subsidiary
coins and for their transmission to assistant
treasurers and depositaries free of charge.
Section 6 of this act provided that depositors
might, at their option, have their gold and sil-
ver cast into ingots or bars.
Section 7 of the same act provided for the
coinage of the $3 gold piece, which, like the
3-cent silver piece, was never a popular coin.
The act of Feb. 21, 1857. deprived all foreign
coins of currency in the United States. The
old Spanish quarter, the shilling or eighth, the
sixpence, or sixteenth of the Spanish milled
dollar and of the Mexican dollar, which had
passed current for 25, 12^ and &4 cents re-
spectively, were made receivable by the gov-
ernment for 20, 10 and 5 cents respectively,
and when so received they were to be re-
minted into American coins.
Sect on 3 of this act provided "That all for-
mer acts authorizing the currency of foreign
gold or silver coins, and declaring the same a
legal tender in payment for debts, are hereby
repealed.'
This act also provided for the present form
of the cent piece of seventy-two grains, com-
posed of copper and nickel. The 5-cent nickel
piece to take the place of fractional currency
and to be a legal tender for $1 was provided
for by the act of May 16, 1866.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR
From this summary of the coinage laws of
the United States it will be seen that from
the foundation of the mint down to 1873 gold
and silver stood upon a plane of absolute
equality as to all rights of mintage and power
of legal tender. The unit rested on both
metals alike. No discrimination whatever
was made in any act between the two metals.
Holders of gold and silver bullion were al-
lowed, throughout this period of more than
three-quarters of a century, without any dis-
crimination whatever, to deposit their metal
and have the same coined for their benefit
into the various full legal tender coins
prescribed by congress, without limit and free
of cost, except such, expense as might be in-
curred by the mint to bring the bullion to the
required standard for coinage.
DEMONETIZATION OF SILVER.
THE ACT OP 1873.
In 1867 an international monetary conference
was held in Paris, at which Samuel B. Rug-
gles represented the United States. At this
conference our representative favored "a
common unit of money," which was to be gold
alone. In June, 1868, Hon. John Sherman,
chairman of the senate finance committee,
made a report to the senate in favor of "a
single standard exclusively of gold" and the
same year introduced a bill having for its ob-
ject the establishment of a single standard
"exclusively of gold" with silver for subsid-
iary purposes only. This bill was not put upon
its passage. In April, 1870, Mr. Sherman in-
troduced a bill "revising the laws relating to
the mints, assay offices and coinage of the
United States," which was accompanied by a
letter from Mr. Boutwell, secretary of the
treasury, stating that "the passage of the en-
closed bill" would "conduce to the efficiency
and economy of this important branch of the
government service." On the 10th of January,
1871, the bill passed the senate and the next
day went to the house.
There has been considerable dispute as to
the means used to secure a passage of this
bill. The friends of silver declare that the
house was tricked into its passage, while the
advocates of the bill affirm that it was fairly
introduced and passed. It is, however, cer-
tain that the bill was never read in the house
and that Mr. Ke'lley, who had first charge of
the bill, did not himself understand its full
Section 14 of the bill provided that "the gold
coins of the United States shall be a one dol-
lar piece, which, at the standard weight of
twenty-five and eight-tenths grains, shall be
the unit of value." Section 16 of the act pro-
vided that the weight of the silver dollar
should be 884 grains "and shall be a legal ten-
der at its nominal value for any amount not
exceeding $5 in one payment." This section
dropped the old dollar of 412 grains, substitut-
ing a new one of 384 grains in its place and
limited its legal tender functions to $5 and
changed the ratio between gold and silver
from 16 to 1 to 14.8 to 1,
Section 22 of the act took away the right to
have silver coined for the benefit of the de-
positor a right that had existed from the
formation of the government. As the bill
had been materially changed in the house it
went back to the senate in May. The bill
was reported back with various amendments,
which were printed January 7, 1873. The bill,
as amended in the senate, provided for a
"trade dollar" of 420 grains troy, striking out
the provision for a 384-grain dollar as provided
by the house, but made the silver coins legal
tender for not more than $5. The senate also
I amended the deposit section, enabling a de-
positor to have trade dollars coined but no
other silver coins. The bill passed the senate
January 17, 1873, and went to the house, which
did not concur in the senate amendments. A
conference committee was appointed which
agreed to the senate bill, and on the 6th of
February the senate adopted the committee's
report and the house adopted it on the next
day, and the bill became a law.
THE BLAND- ALLISON ACT OF 1878.
The act of 1873 was specially unpopular at
the west and was violently assailed as well as
vigorously defended, and numerous resolu-
tions were introduced into the Forty-fifth con-
gress to restore the silver dollar. Nov. 5, 1877,
Mr. Bland moved to suspend the rules of the
house and pass a bill providing "that there
shall be coined at the several mints of the
United States silver dollars of the weight of
412^ grains troy of standard silver, as provided
in the act of Jan. 18, 1837, on which shall be the
device and superscriptions provided by said
act; which coins, together with all silver dol-
lars heretofore coined by the United States of
like weight and fineness, shall be a legal ten-
der at their nominal value for all debts and
dues public and private, except where other-
wise provided by contract; and any owner of
silver bullion may deposit the same at any
United States coining-mint or assay office, to
be coined into such dollars, for his benefit,
upon the same terms and conditions as gold
bullion is deposited for coinage under existing
laws.
"All acts and parts of acts inconsistent with
the provisions of this act are hereby re-
pealed."
This was agreed to and passed by a vote of
164 to 34 and it went to the senate. Mr. Allison
moved In the senate to amend by striking out
the last clause commencing "and any owner"
and inserting the following:
"And the secretary of the treasury is
authorized and directed, out of any money in
the treasury not otherwise appropriated, to
purchase, from time to time, silver bullion, at
the market price thereof, not less than two
million dollars per month nor more than four
million dollars per month, and cause the same
to be coined monthly, as fast as so purchased,
into such dollars. And any gain or seignorage
arising from this coinage shall be accounted
for and paid into the treasury, as provided
under existing laws relative to the subsidiary
coinage; provided, that the amount of money
at any one time invested in such silver bull-
ion, exclusive of such resulting coin, shall
not exceed five million dollars."
The Bland bill with Allison's amendment
passed the senate Feb. 15, 1878, by a vote of 48
to 21. The bill went back to the house for con-
currence Feb. 21, 1878, when it passed by a vote
of 203 to 72.
President Hayes vetoed the bill Feb. 28, and
in the same day it was passed over his veto by
a vote of 196 to 73 in the house and 46 to 19 in
the senate. This bill, instead of restoring sil-
ver to its place as a money metal, provided
merely for making money out of silver, but it
restored the legal tender power of the old
dollar, except where "expressly stipulated in
the contract" gold was to be paid.
PERIOD FROM 1878 TO 1890.
Neither the silver advocates nor the single
standard champions accepted as final the act
of 1878. In the extra session of the Forty-
sixth congress Mr. Warner of Ohio April 30,
1879, introduced a bill amending section 3,511 of
the Revised Statutes so as to read as follows:
"The gold coins of the United States shall be
a dollar or unit, " etc.
Also amending section 3,513 of the Revised
Statutes so as to make it read: "The silver coins
of the United States shall be a dollar or unit,"
etc.. thus restoring the unit to both metals.
Also to amend section 3,520 of the Revised
HISTORY OF OUR COINAGE.
Statutes so as to make it read: "Any owner
of silver bullion may deposit the same at any
mint, to be formed into bars or into standard
dollars of the weight of 412!^ grains troy, for
his benefit," etc., thus restoring unlimited
coinage.
Also section 3,585 so as to make it read:
"The gold coins of the United States and
standard silver dollars shall be a legal tender
in all payments, " etc., thus restoring to silver
full legal-tender power the same as gold. This
bill passed the house May 24 by a vote of 114
to 97. It went to the senate but was never
acted upon.
June 9, 1879, an act was passed raising the
limit of legal tender for subsidiary silver
coins to $10, and also providing for their re-
demption in full legal tender money.
June 17, 1879, Mr. Vest of Missouri offered the
following in the senate: "Resolved, That the
complete remonetization of silver, its full
restoration as a money metal, and its free
coinage by the mints of the United States are
demanded alike by the dictates of justice and
wise statesmanship." This resolution was re-
ferred to the senate committee on finance by
a vote of 23 to 22 and was not again heard of.
In the Forty-ninth congress a proviso was
attached to the sundry civil appropriation bill
authorizing the issue of one, two and five dol-
lar silver certificates. This provision has op-
erated to remove, in a measure, the objections
to silver where large sums are required in
small denominations, as in pay-rolls on rail-
roads and other like operations.
ACTION OF THE FIFTY-FIRST CONGRESS.
On the 20th of January, 1890, Mr. Conger of
Iowa introduced a bill into the house which
was formulated by the treasury department.
It was referred to the committee on coinage,
weights and measures and on the 26th of
March was reported back to the house. The
bill as reported to the house was as follows
(No. 5381):
Be it enacted by the senate and house of
representatives of the United States of Amer-
ica in congress assembled, That any owner of
silver bullion, the product of the mines of the
United States or of ores smelted or refined in
the United States, may deposit the same at
any coinage-mint or at any assay office in the
United States that the secretary of the treas-
ury may designate, and receive therefor treas-
ury notes hereinafter provided for, equal at
the date of deposit to the net value of such
silver, at the market price; such price to be
determined by the secretary of the treasury
under rules and regulations prescribed, based
upon the price current in the leading silver
markets of the world, but no deposit consist-
ing in whole or in part of silver bullion or
foreign silver coins imported into this country,
or bars resulting from melted or refined for-
eign silver coins, shall be received under the
provisions of this act.
Sec. 2. That the secretary of the treasury
shall cause to be prepared treasury notes in
such amounts as may be required for the pur-
pose of the above section, and in such form
and denominations as he may prescribe: Pro-
vided, That no note shall be of a denomination
less than one dollar nor more than one thou-
sand dollars.
Sec. 3. That the notes issued under this act
shall be receivable for customs, taxes, and all
public dues, and when received into the treas-
ury may be reissued, and such notes, when
held by any national banking association, shall
be counted as part of its lawful reserve.
Sec. 4. That the notes issued under the pro-
visions of this act shall be redeemed upon de- ,
mand at the treasury of the United States or
at the office of an assistant treasury of the
United States, by the issue of a certificate of '
deposit for the sum of the notes so presented,
payable at one of the mints of tne United
States, in an amount of silver bullion equal in
value on the date of said certificate to the
number of dollars stated therein, at the mar-
ket price of silver, to be determined as pro-
vided in section 1; or such notes may be re-
deemed in gold coin, at the option of the gov-
ernment: Provided. That upon demand of the
holder such notes shall be redeemed In silver
dollars.
Sec. 5. That when the market price of silver,
as determined by the secretary of the treasury,
shall exceed one dollar for 371.25 grains of pure
silver, it shall be the duty of the secretary of
the treasury to refuse to receive deposits of
silver bullion for the purposes of this act: Pro-
vided, That when the market price of silver,
as determined in accordance with section 1 of
this act, is one dollar for 371.25 grains of pure
silver, it shall be lawful for the owner or any
silver bullion, the deposit of which for notes is
herein provided for, to deposit the same at any
coinage-mint of the United States.to be formed
into standard silver dollars for his benefit, as
provided in the act of January 18, 1837.
Sec. 6 That the silver bullion deposited un-
der this act, represented by treasury notes
which have been redeemed in gold coin or in
silver dollars, may be coined into standard
silver dollars or any other denomination of
silver coin now authorized by law, for the pur-
pose of replacing the coin used in the redemp-
tion of the notes.
Sec. 7. That so much of the act of February
28, 1878, entitled "An act to authorize the coin-
age of the standard silver dollar and to re-
store its legal-tender character," as requires
the monthly purchase and coinage into silver
dollars of not less than two million dollars nor
more than four million dollars' worth of silver
bullion, is hereby repealed.
Sec. 8. That any gain or seigniorage arising
from the coinage which may be executed
under the provisions of this act shall be ac-
counted for and paid into the treasury as pro-
Sec. 9. That silver bullion received under
the provisions of this act shall be subject to
the requirements of existing law, and the
regulations of the mint service, governing
the methods of receipt, determining the
amount of pure silver contained, and the
amount of charges or deductions, if any, to be
made.
Sec. 10. That it shall be the duty of the col-
lectors of customs of the United States to
stamp with a steel stamp on every bar of sil-
ver bullion imported into the United States
the word "foreign." It shall be the duty of
every assayer or refiner in the United States,
or any other person or firm, who may receive
bars of silver stamped "foreign," in case such
bars are remelted or refined, to stamp with a
steel stamp the resulting bars "foreign." In
case bars of silver stamped "foreign" are re-
melted or refined with other silver products
of the United States in such a way that it is
not possible to separate in the resulting bars
the exact product of such foreign silver, it
shall be the d aty of such assayer or refiner, or
other person or firm, to stamp with a steel
stamp on an amount of silver bars which shall
be equivalent to the amount of foreign silver
melted or refined the word "foreign." It shall
be the duty of every assayer or refiner in the
United States, or fany other person or firm,
who may receive coins of silver of the,coinage
of countries other than the United States, in
case such coins are remelted or refined, to
stamp with a steel stamp the resulting bars
"foreign." In case foreign silver coins are re-
melted or refined with other silver products
of the United States in such a way that it is
not possible to separate in the resulting bars
32
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1892.
the exact product of such foreign silver coins,
it shall be the duty of such assayer or refiner,
or other person or firm, to stamp with a steel
stamp on an amount of silver bars which shall
be equivalent to the amount of foreign silver
coins melted or refined the word "foreign."
Every person who fails to stamp bars result-
ing from the remelting or refining of foreign
silver bullion or foreign silver coins with the
word "foreign," and every person who falsely
removes this stamp or who by any art, way or
means mutilates the stamp for the purpose of
preventing identification of the bars, shall be
punished by a fine of not less than $100 nor
more than $1,000 for each bar: Provided, That
nothing in this section shall be held to apply
to silver products extracted by the processes
of smelting, amalgamation, and lixiviation or
any other metallurgical process, in the United
States, from ores imported from foreign coun-
tries.
Sec. 11. That nothing in this act shall be con-
strued to prevent the purchase, from time to
time, as may be required, of silver bullion for
the subsidiary silver coinage, not to affect the
legal-tender quality of the standard silver
dollar.
Sec. 12. That a sum sufficient to carry out the
provisions of this act is hereby appropriated,
out of any money in the treasury not other-
wise appropriated.
Sec. 13. That all acts and parts of acts incon-
sistent with the provisions of this act are here-
by repealed.
Sec. 14. That this act shall take effect thirty
days from and after its passage.
A minority report was made, signed by Mr.
Bland and Mr. Williams, recommending free
coinage as proposed in the following bill:
Be it enacted by the senate and house of
representatives of the United States of Amer-
ica in congress assembled, That from and after
the passage of this act all holders of silver
bullion of the value of $50 or more, standard
fineness, shall be entitled to have the same
coined in standard silver dollars of 412^grains
troy of standard silver to the dollar, upon like
terms and conditions as gold is now coined for
private holders; that the standard silver dol-
lar heretofore coined and herein provided for
shall be the unit of account and standard of
value in like manner as now provided for the
gold dollar, and shall be a legal tender for all
debts, public and private, except where other-
wise stipulated.
Sec. 2. That so much of the provisions of the
act of February 28, 1878, entitled "An act to
authorize the coinage of the standard silver
dollar and restore its legal-tender character,"
as provides for issuing certificates on the de-
posit of silver dollars, shall be applicable to
the coin herein named; and so much of the
said act of February 28, 1878, as provides for
the purchase of silver bullion to be coined
monthly into standard silver dollars, be t and
the same is, hereby repealed.
Sec. 3. That the secretary of the treasury is
hereby authorized to adopt such rules and
regulations as may be necessary to enforce
the provisions of this act.
On the 25th of February, Mr. Jones of Ne-
\iiicla reported from the finance committee to
the senate the following as a substitute for
other bills before the committee:
Be it enacted, etc., That the secretary of the
treasury is hereby directed to purchase from
time to time silver bullion to the aggregate
amount of $4,500,000 worth in each month, at
the market price thereof, not exceeding one
dollar for 371.25 grains of pure silver, and also
to purchase such gold bullion as may be of-
fered at the treasury or any subtreasury of
the United States at a price not exceeding one
dollar for 23.22 grains of pure gold, and to
issue in payment for such purchases of silver
and..
by the secretary of the treasury, in such" form
and of such denominations, not less than one
dollar nor more than one thousand dollars, as
he may prescribe, and a sum sufficient to carry
into effect the provisions of this act is hereby
appropriated out of any money in the treasury
not otherwise appropriated.
Sec. 2. That the treasury notes issued in
accordance with the provisions of this act
shall be redeemable on demand, in lawful
money of the United States, at the treasury of
the United States, or at the office of any as-
sistant treasurer of the United States, and
when so redeemed shall be canceled; and
such treasury notes shall be receivable for
customs, taxes and all public dues, and when
so received may be reissued: and such notes
when held by any national banking associa-
tion, may be counted as a part of its lawful
Sec. 3. That the secretary of the treasury
shall coin such portion of the gold or silver
bullion purchased under the provisions of
this act as may be neceesary to provide for
the redemption of the treasury notes herein
provided for,and any gain or seigniorage aris-
ing from such coinage shall be accounted for
and paid into the treasury.
Sec. 4. That the gold and silver bullion pur-
chased under the provisions of this act shall
be subject to the requirements of existing
law and the regulations of the mint service,
governing the methods of determining the
amount of pure gold or pure silver contained,
and the amount of charges or deductions, if
any, to be made.
Sec. 6. That so much of the act of Feb. 28,
1878, entitled "An act to authorize the coinage
of the standard silver dollar and to restore its
legal-tender character," as requires the month-
ly purchase and coinage of the same into sil-
ver dollars of not less than $2,000,000 nor more
than $4,000,000 worth of silver bullion, is hereby
repealed.
Sec. 6. That this act shall take effect thirty
days from and after its passage.
Meanwhile petitions from many parts of the
country asking for the free coinage of silver
were presented in both houses.
The bills as presented by their respective
committees to the house and senate contained
provisions differing widely, which, from a
partisan standpoint, it was important to har-
monize. The differences were made the sub-
ject of a joint caucus by the republicans of the
two houses. The disagreement was princi-
pally over the bullion redemption feature of
the house bill, and on this point no agreement
was reached, as certain of the western sena-
tors, led by Senator Teller, refused to assent
to this provision of the treasury scheme.
The provisions agreed upon, however, by a
majority of those attending the caucus were
incorporated in a new bill which was intro-
duced in the house by Mr. Conger, April 24,
and referred to the committee on coinage,
weights and measures. The bill was there
amended so as to make the purchase $4,500,000
worth instead of 4,500,000 ounces, as in the first
caucus bill, and making notes issued therefor
redeemable in "coin" instead of "lawful
money." The bill as amended was offered in
the house by Mr. Conger, June 5th, as a sub-
stitute for the original committee bill, which
had been previously reported to the house.
It was debated until the 7th. It passed the
house by a vote of 135 to 119. The 135 yeas
were all republicans and the 119 nays con-
tained 112 democrats and 7 republicans.
The bill as it passed the house contained
two important features the bullion redemp-
tion clause and the section providing for free
coinage when silver reached parity with gold
on our ratio, or $1.29 an ounce. The bill went
HISTORY OF OUR COINAGE.
to the senate June 9th, and on motion of Mr.
Teller was ordered to be printed and He on
the table. On the following day it was, on
motion of Mr. Morrill, referred to the com-
mittee on finance. It was reported back to
the senate by Mr. MorrillJune llth with sun-
dry amendments, and with notice that he
would at the proper time offer it as a substi-
tute for the bill then pending in the senate.
It was ably discussed on both sides till June
17th, when it was put upon its passage and
passed on that day by a vote of 42 to 25. The
bill as it passed the senate was as perfect a
free coinage measure as could be desired. The
first section restored the unit to both metals,
as in the act of 1792, made the coinage of both
metals free and made silver as well as gold
full legal tender for all purposes. It also
made all certificates issued on either gold or
silver, legal tender for all debts, public and
private. Thus the bill went back to the house
with the substitution of free coinage in lieu of
the purchase of four and a half millions
worth of silver a month, with bullion redemp-
tion.
THE SENATE BILL IN THE HOUSE.
This bill which passed the senate as a sub-
stitute for house bill No. 5381, came back to
the house June 18th and was referred to the
committee on coinage, weights and measures.
This reference of the bill by the speaker was
called in question by Mr. Mills of Texas, who
on the next day objected to the approval of
the journal of the house which contained the
reference of the bill. The point was that the
bill should come before the house without a
reference to a committee. The house voted
to correct the journal by a vote of 132 to 130.
The speaker ruled that the bill had been
properly referred to the committee and was
with that committee. In the long wrangle
over this matter free coinage which had
passed the senate failed to pass the house.
The bill came up again in the house June 24th.
After being debated, Mr. Bland moved that
the senate amendments be concurred in which
was lost by a vote of 135 to 152. Thus free
coinage which passed the senate by a vote of
seventeen was lost in the house by exactly the
same vote.
THE PRESENT LAW.
June 28, 1890, the senate was notified that the
house had disagreed to the senate amend-
ments to bill 5381. and asked for a committee
of conference. The request was granted and
a committee consisting of Messrs. Conger,
Walker and Bland on the part of the bouse,
and Messrs. Sherman, Jones and Harris on
the part of the senate was appointed. The
committee made its report which was agreed
to by the senate July 10, by a yote of 39 to 2fi,
and by the house July 11, by a vote of 122 to 90.
The vote was a strict party one, all the affirm-
ative votes in the house being republicans,
and all the negative votes being democrats.
The following is the law as passed, which
ent into effect July 14, 1890:
PURCHASE OF BULLION.
An act directing the purchase of silver bul-
lion and the issue of treasury notes thereon,
and for other purposes:
Be it enacted by the senate and house of
representatives of the United States of Amer-
ica in congress assembled, That the secretary
of the treasury is hereby directed to purchase,
from time to time, silver bullion to the aggre-
gate amount of four million five hundred
thousand ounces, or so much thereof as may
be offered in each month, at the market price
thereof, not exceeding one dollar for three
hundred and seventy-one and twenty-five
hundreths grains of pure silver, and to "issue
in payment for such purchases of silver bull-
ion treasury notes of the United States to be
prepared by the secretary of the treasury, in
such form and of such denominations, not
less than one dollar nor more than one thous-
and dollars, as he may prescribe, and a sum
sufficient to carry into effect the provisions of
this act is hereby appropriated out of any
nK>ney in the treasury not otherwise appro-
priated.
Sec. 2. That the treasury notes issued in ac-
cordance with the provisions of this act shall
be redeemable on demand, in coin, at the
treasury of the United States, or at the office
of any assistant treasurer of the United
States, and when so redeemed may be re-
Issued, but no greater or less amount of such
notes shall be outstanding at any time than
the cost of the silver bullion and the stand-
ard silver dollars coined therefrom, then held
in the treasury purchased by such notes; and
such treasury notes shall be a legal tender
in payment of all debts, public and private,
except where otherwise expressly stipulated
in the contract, and shall be receivable for
customs, taxes, and all public dues, and when
so received may be reissued; and such notes,
when held by any national banking associa-
tion, may be counted as a part of its lawful
reserve. That upon demand of the holder of
any of the treasury notes herein provided for
the secretary of the treasury shall, under
such regulations as he may prescribe, redeem
such notes in gold or silver coin, at his dis-
cretion, it being the established policy of the
United States to maintain the two metals on
a parity with each other upon the present
legal ratio, or such ratio as may be provided
by law.
Sec. 3. That the secretary of the treasury
shall each month coin two million ounces of
the silver bullion purchased under the pro-
visions of this act into standard silver dollars
until July 1, 1891, and after that time he shall
coin of the silver bullion purchased under the
provisions of this act as much as may be
necessary to provide for the redemption of
the treasury notes herein provided for, and
any gain or seigniorage arising from such
coinage shall be accounted for and paid into
the treasury.
Sec. 4. That the silver bullion purchased
under the provisions of this act shall be sub-
ject to the requirements of existing law and
the regulations of the mint service govern-
ing the methods of determining the amount
of pure silver contained and the amount of
charges or deductions, if any, to be made.
Sec. 5. That so much of the act of February
28, 1878, entitled "An act to authorize the
coinage of the standard silver dollar and to
restore its legal tender character," as requires
the monthly purchase and coinage of the
same into silver dollars of not less than $2,000,-
000, nor more than $4,000,000 worth of silver
bullion, is hereby repealed.
Sec. 6. That upon the passage of this act the
balances standing with the treasurer of the
United States to the respective credits of nat-
ional banks for deposits made to redeem the
circulating notes of such banks, and all de-
posits thereafter received for like purpose,
shall be covered into the treasury as a miscel-
laneous receipt, and the treasury of the United
States shall redeem from the general oash in
the treasury the circulating notes of said
banks which may come into his possession
subject to redemption; and upon the certifi-
cate of the comptroller of the currency that
such notes have been received by him and
that they have been destroyed and that no
new notes will be issued in their place, re-
imbursement of their amount shall be made
to the treasurer, under such regulations as
the secretary of treasury may prescribe, from
an appropriation hereby created, to be known
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1892.
as national bank notes: redemption account,
but the provisions of this act shall not apply
to the deposits received under section 3, of
the act of June 30, 1874, requiring every nat-
ional bank to keep in lawful money with the
treasurer of the United States a sum equal to
five per centum of its circulation, to be held
and used for the redemption of its circulating
notes; and the balance remaining of the de-
posits so covered shall, at the close of each
month, be reported on the monthly public
debt statement as debt of the United States
bearing no interest.
Sec. f. That this act shall take effect thirty
days from and after its passage. (Approved
July 14, 1890.)
This law is in the nature of a compromise,
and as it is not satisfactory to either side it is
more than probable that the end of the silver
controversy is not yet,

THE NEW ORLEANS MASSACRE.
History of the affair and the diplomatic correspondence following it. Prepared by William E.
Curtis of the State Department.
On the night of October 15, 1890, David C.
Hennessey, chief of police in the City of New
Orleans. La., was murdered in the street of
that city. On the 13th of December fol-
lowing, Antonio Scaffldi, Antonio Bagnetto,
Antonio Marchesi. Pietro Monastero, Charles
Traina, Manuel Politz, and Loretto Comitz
were indicted as principals and James Caruso,
Roco Gerachi, Frank Romero, and Joseph P/
Macheca as accessories before the fact. About
the middle of February 1891 they were ar-
raigned for trial. Nine of them were tried
separately. On the 13th of March Bagnetto,
Marchesi, and Macheca were found not guilty
and in the cases of Scaffidi, Politz, and Monas-
tero the jury failed to agree. The verdict was
universally condemned in New Orleans as un-
just and a meeting was called to be held at
10:30 o'clock a, m. on the 15th of March to take
into consideration the vindication of the law.
At the appointed hour a large crowd assembled
and proceeded to the parish prison where
the accused were confined and, forcing an
entrance, shot them to death.
Eleven were killed in all and besides those
named above, who had been tried, were James
Caruso, Loretto Comitz, Frank Romero and
Raco Gerachi who were awaiting trial.
On the 4th of December the secretary of
state requested the attorney general to ascer-
tain whether the persons indicted for the Hen-
nessey murder were citizens of Italy or the
United States. On the 20th of that month the
U. S. District Attorney at New Orleans re-
ported that of the persons indicted the fol-
lowing were naturalized citizens of the United
States: Antonio Bagnetto, John Caruso.
James Caruso, Charles Matrauga, Antonio
Marchesi, Antonio Scaffidi, Charles Pietzo,
Joseph Macheca, Charles Potorno, Frank Ro-
mero, and that Salvador Coscenso was regis-
tered as a voter although there was no record
of his naturalization. The following did not
appear to have been naturalized: Asperl
Marchese, Manuel Politz, Charles Trahani,
Loretto Scovotis. Pietro Monastario. Pedro
Martelli, Bastian Incardino, Salvator Sincen.
Rocco Grachi.
On the 15th of March 1891, Baron Fava the
Italian minister at Washington informed Mr.
Blaine that eleven of the prisoners had been
murdered by a mob, and submitted a dispatch
from the Marquis de Rudini, Italian minister
of foreign affairs at Kome, demanding in the
name of justice and civilization that the fed-
eral administration interfere for the protection
of the living prisoners, and the other members
of the Italian colony in New Orleans. He de-
manded also that the mob, and those who in-
spired it be speedily brought to justice.
Mr. Blaine at once telegraphed the governor
of Louisiana deploring the massacre, express-
ing the hope of the president that the subjects
of a friendly power be furnished adequate
protection, and that the leaders of the mob be
promptly brought to justice. A telegram was
at the same time sent to the United States
minister to Rome instructing him to convey to
the Italian government the profound horror
and regret of the president and to assure it
that every possible effort would be made to
protect its subjects.
Several dispatches of a similar character
passed between Washington and Rome on the
following date.
Governor Nichols on the 16th of March in-
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1892.
formed the secretary of state that there was
no reason to apprehend further trouble, and
that the action of the mob was directed
against individuals and not against their race
or nationality. Copies of the correspondence
were telegraphed to Home.
On the 18th of March Baron Fava handed
the secretary of state a long statement of the
massacre and the incidents that preceded it,
and complained that the local authorities at
New Orleans had been guilty of neglect of
their duty. He also submitted a cablegram
from the Marquis de Rudini directing him to
apply for indemnity, as a declaration of re-
gret on the part of the United States could not
be accepted as reparation.
On the 21st of March Baron Fava repeated
the demand and submitted a cablegram from
Rudini insisting upon an official assurance
from the government of the United States
that the persons guilty of the massacre had
been brought to justice. He also insisted upon
immediate indemnity. On the same date Mr.
Blaine called upon Baron Fava for the names,
and condition of Italian subjects murdered in
New Orleans.
On the 24th of March Baron Fava handed
Mr. Blaine a cablegram from Rudini insisting
that the demand of the Italian government
for the punishment of the mob, and indem-
nity for their victim s must be complied with
or he would be under the painful necessity of
recalling the Italian minister from a country
where he is unable to obtain justice. On the
following day Rudini telegraphed: " I cannot
admit further delay." On the same day Baron
Fava submitted a statement from the consul
at New Orleans showing that three of the per-
sons murdered were citizens of Italy, and that
six had only declared their intention to be
naturalized. On the 26th of March Baron
Fava sent a note to Mr. Blaine by his secre-
tary requesting an immediate answer to the
demand of Rudini. In the meantime Mr.
Blaine instructed the United States minister
at Rome to explain to the Italian government
the dual character of the government of the
United States and the necessity of a thorough
investigation of the circumstances of the mas-
sacre before a proper answer could be made
to the demands of the Marquis de Rudini.
On the 31st of March Baron Fava again
called the attention of Mr. Blaine to the de-
mands of the Italian government, and in-
sisted upon the assurance (1) that the guilty
parties should be punished, and (2) that the
principle that indemnity was due to the fam-
ilies of the victims should be recognized by
the United States. As the secretary of state
had in an Interview declined to give this as-
surance, Baron Fava announced his with-
drawal from Washington under the instruc-
tion of his government. On the following day
Mr. Blaine replied to this communication, ex-
pressing regret at the departure of Baron
Fava for which he was unable to see " ade-
quate reasons," and continuing as follows:
" The cause of sundering his diplomatic re-
lations with this government " said Mr.
Blaine "Is thus given in his note:
" ' The reparation demanded by the govern-
ment of the king, as I have had the honor to
inform you in our interviews held during the
last few days, was to consist of the following
points: '
"'(l)The official assurance by the federal
government that the guilty parties should be
brought to justice.'
" ' (2) The recognition, in principle, that an
indemnity is due to the relatives of the vic-
tims.'
" The first demand thus stated by Baron
Fava is slightly changed in phrase from that
employed by him in his many verbal requests
based on a telegram from the Marquis Rudini
which he left with me. The Marquis Rudini
declared that 'Italy's right to demand and to
obtain the punishment of the murderers and
an indemnity for the victims is unquestion-
able.' It is inferred that Baron Fava's
change of phrase meant no change of de-
mand.
" I have endeavored to impress upon him,
in the several personal interviews with which
he has honored me, that the government of
the United States is utterly unable to give the
assurance which the Marquis Rudini has de-
manded. Even if the national government
had the entire jurisdiction over the alleged
murderers, it could not give assurance to any
foreign power that they should be punished.
The president is unable to see how any gov-
ernment could justly give an assurance of
this character in advance of investigation or
trial.
" In the constitution of the United States it
is declared that: In all criminal prosecutions
the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy
and public trial by an impartial jury of the
state and district wherein the crime shall
have been committed.
" It needs no argument to prove that a jury
could not be impartial if it were in any sense,
or to any degree, bound, before the trial of
the accused, by an assurance which the presi-
dent of the United States had ventured to
give to a foreign power.
" In the constitution of the state of Louisi-
ana, under whose immediate jurisdiction the
crimes were committed, substantially the
same provision is found; so that the governor
of that state would be as unable to give a
pledge in advance for the result of a trial un-
der state law as the president wouid be were
it practicable to try the leaders of the mob
under the laws of the United States.
" In Baron Fava's second point he demands
the recognition, in principle, that an indem-
nity is due to the relatives of the victims. He
is assuredly under a grave error when he de-
clares that the United States government de-
clined to take this demand into consideration,
and I shall regret if he has communicated
such a conclusion to your government. The
United States, so far from refusing, has dis-
tinctly recognized the principle of indemnity
to those Italian subjects who may have been
wronged by a violation of the rights secured
to them under the treaty with the United
States concluded February 26, 1871.
"I have repeatedly given to Baron Fava
the assurance that, under the direction of the
president, all the incidents connected with
the unhappy tragedy at New Orleans on the
14th of March last should be most thoroughly
investigated. I have also informed him that
in a matter of such gravity the government of
the United States would not permit itself to be
unduly hurried; nor will it make answer to
any demand until every fact essential to a
correct judgment shall have been fully ascer-
tained through legal authority. The impa-
tience of the aggrieved may be natural, but
its indulgence does not always secure the
most substantial justice.
'Accept, etc., JAMES G. BLAIXE."
Under date of April 1, Mr. Porter the United
States minister at Rome informed the depart-
ment of state that while the Italian govern-
ment understood the division between the
federal and state jurisdictions in criminal cases
under the constitution of the United States,
the ministry was not satisfied that the federal
authority was making as strenuous efforts to
bring the murderers to justice as the circum-
stances required; that parliament was to
meet on the 14th: and that being a coalition
ministry it dreaded criticism for lack of vigor,
wanted to be armed by some assurance from
President Harrison that the perpetrators of
THE NEW ORLEANS MASSACRE.

the crime would certainly be brought to justice.
On the following day the Marquis Imperial!,
first secretary of the Italian legation lur-
nished Mr.Blaine with a copy of a dispatch
from Rudini, saying:
"The government of the king of Italy has
asked nothing beyond the prompt institution
of judicial proceedings through the regular
channels. It would have been absurd to
claim the punishment of the guilty parties
without the warrant of a regular judgment.
The Italian government now repeats the same
demand. Not until the federal government
shall have explicitly declared that the fore-
said proceedings shall be promptly begun can
the diplomatic incident be considered as
closed. Meanwhile his majesty's government
takes note of the declaration whereby the
federal government recognizes that an in-
demnity i3 due to the families of the victims
in virtue of the treaty in force between the
two countries."
To this Mr. Elaine replied: "This govern-
ment certainly had no desire whatever to
change the meaning of the Marquis Rudini's
telegram of March 24. It was delivered at
the state department by Baron Fava in per-
son, written in his own hand, and expressed in
the English language. The following is the
full text of the telegram:
"ROME, March 24, 1891. Italian Minister,
Washington: Our requests to the federal gov-
ernment are very simple. Some Italian sub-
jects, acquitted by the American magistrates,
have been murdered in prison while under the
immediate protection of the authorities. Our
rirjht, therefore, to demand and obtain the pun-
ixhment of the murderers and an indemnity
for the victims is unquestionable. I wish to add
that the public opinion in Italy is justly impa-
tient, and, if concrete provisions were not at
once taken, I should find myself in the painful
necessity of showing openly our dissatisfac-
tion by recalling the minister of his majesty
from a country where he is unable to obtain
justice. [Signed] RUDINI.'
"The words underscored are precisely those
which I quoted In my former note; and 1 am
directed by the president to express the satis-
faction of this goverement with the very ma-
terial qualification of the demand made by
the Marquis Rudini on behalf of the Italian
government.
"You quote in your note another part of the
Marquis Rudini's telegram of April 2 in these
words:
'"Meanwhile his majesty 'sgovernment takes
note of the declaration whereby the federal
government recognizes that an indemnity is
due to the families of the victims in virtue of
the treaty fa. force between the two countries.'
"If the Marquis Rudini will carefully exam-
ine my note of April 1 he will discover that I
did not 'recognize that an'indemnity is due to
the families of the victims in virtue of the
treaty in force between the two countries.'
What I did say was in answer to Baron Fava's
assertion that the United States government
refused to take this demand for indemnity
into consideration. I quote my reply: 'The
United States, so far from refusing, has dis-
tinctly recognized the principle of indemnity
to those Italian subjects who may have been
wronged by a violation of the rights secured, to
them under the treaty with the United States
concluded February 26, lv:i.'
''The Marquis Rudini maybe assured that
the United States would recompense every
Italian subject who might 'be wronged by the
violation of a treaty' to which the faith of the
United States is pledged. But this assurance
leaves unsettled the important question
whether the treaty has been violated. Upon
this point the president, with sufficient facts
placed before him, has taken full time for de-
cision. He now directs that certain consider-
ations on the general subject be submitted to
the judgment of the Italian government.
"As a precedent of great value to the case
under discussion, the president recalls the
conclusion maintained by Mr. Webster in 1851,
when he was secretary of state under Presi-
dent Fillmore. In August of that year a mob
in New Orleans demolished the building in
which the office of the Spanish consul was lo-
cated, and at the same time attacks were made
upon coffee-houses and cigar shops kept by
Spanish subjects. American citizens were in-
volved in the losses, which, in the aggregate,
were large. The supposed cause of the mob
was the intelligence of the execution of fifty
young Americans in Havana and the banish-
ment to Spanish mines of nearly two Hundred
citizens of the United States. The victims
were all members of the abortive Lopez ex-
pedition.
"In consequence of these depredations of
the mob upon the property of the Spanish
consul, as well as against the Spanish sub-
jects, Don Caideron de la Barca, the minister
of Spain, demanded indemnification for all
the losses, botlrbfficial and personal.
"Mr. Webster admitted that the Spanish
consul was entitled to Indemnity, and assured
the Spanish minister that if the injured con-
sul, Mr. Laborde, shall return to his post, or
any other consul for New Orleans shall be ap-
pointed by her catholic majesty's govern-
ment, the officers of this government resident
in that city will be instructed to receive and
treat him with courtesy and with a national
salute to the flag of his ship, if he shall arrive
in a Spanish vessel as a demonstration of re-
spect, such as may signify to him and to his
government the sense entertained by the gov-
ernment of the United States of the gross in-
justice done to his predecessor by a lawless
mob, as well as the indignity and insult offered
by it to a foreign state with which the United
States are, and wish ever to remain, on terms
of the most respectful and pacific intercourse.
"But when pressed bv the Spanish minister
to afford indemnity to Spanish subjects in-
jured by the mob in common with American
citizens, Mr. Webster declined to accede to
the demand and gave his reasons as follows:
'This government supposes that the rights of
the Spanish consul, a public officer residing
here under the protection of the United States
government, are quite different from those of
the Spanish subjects who have come into the
country to mingle with our own citizens and
here to pursue their private business and ob-
jects. The former may claim special in-
demnity; the latter are entitled to such pro-
tection as is afforded to our own citizens.
While, therefore, the losses of individuals,
private Spanish subjects, are greatly to be re-
gretted, yet it is understood that many Ameri-
can citizens suffered equal losses from the
same cause; and these private individuals,
subjects of her catholic majesty, coming vol-
untarily to reside in the United States, have
certainly no cause of complaint if they are
protected by the same laws and the same ad-
ministration of law as native-born citizens of
this country. They have, in fact, some ad-
vantages over citizens of the state in which
they happen to be, inasmuch as they are ena-
bled, until they become citizens themselves,
to prosecute for any Injuries done to their
persons or property in the courts of the United
States or the state courts, at their election.'
"It is proper, however, to add that two years
after Mr. Webster wrote ttie foregoing note to
congress, in recognition of certain magnani-
mous conduct on the part of the queen of
Spain in pardons bestowed on Americans who
had unjustifiably invaded the island of Cuba,
enacted a joint resolution, approved by Presi-
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1892.
dent Fillmore March 3, 1853, the last day of his
term, indemnifying the Spanish consul and
other Spanish subjects, for the losses sus-
tained in the New Orleans mob of 1851. The
considerations upon which this resolution
was passe 1 were held not to contravene the
original position of Mr. Webster, shared also
by President Fillmore.
"The right to judicial remedy which Mr.
Webster assured to the Spanish subjects is
likewise assured to the Italian subjects. The
pecially guaranteed in thi
section of the third article of the constitution.
right Is si
And, as Mr. Webster points out, the resident
alien has a privilege which is denied to the
citizen. The widows and children of the citi-
zens who lost their lives by mob violence may
sue the leaders and members of the mob only
in the courts of the state of Louisiana, while
the widows and children of the Italian sub-
jects who suffered death have the right to sue
each member of the mob, not only in the state
courts, but also before the federal tribunals
for the district of Louisiana.
"Provision is made in the revised civil code
of Louisiana for redress of such grievances
as the widows and children of the victims of
the mob may plead. 1 quote:
" 'ARTICLE 2314. Every act whatever of man
that causes damage to another obliges him
by whose fault it happened to repair it. The
right of this action shall survive, in case of
death, in favor of the minor children and
widow of the deceased, or either of them, and,
in default of these, in favor of the surviving
father or mother, or either of them, for the
space of one year from the death.'
"'ART. 231d. Every person is responsible for
the damage he occasions, not merely by his
act, but by his negligence, his imprudence or
his want of skill.'
'"ART. 2324. He who causes another person
to do an unlawful act, or assists or encourages
in the commission of it, is answerable in solido
with that person for the damage caused by
such act.'
"The government of the United States
would feel justified in resting on the argu-
ment and conclusion of Mr. Webster if the
mob of March 14, 1891, did not. in some of its
characteristics, differ from the mob of 1851.
But it is due to entire candor, due to this gov-
ernment and due to the government of Italy
to point out certain differences of which the
government of the United States is honora-
bly bound to take notice. In the case of the
mob of 1851 Mr. Webster asserts that 'no per-
sonal injury was offered to anyone;' that 'the
police and other legal authorities did all that
was possible to preserve the peace and arrest
the rioters;' that 'the mob acted in the heat
of blood and not in pursuance of any prede-
termined plan or purpose of injury or insult;'
that 'the mob was composed of irresponsible
persons, the names of none of whom are
known to the government of the United States,
nor, so far as the government is informed, to
its officers in New Orleans.'
"As promptly as possible after the lamenta-
ble occurrence at New Orleans the president
directed the attorney-general to cause through
his department a full inquiry to be made into
all facts connected therewith, and solic-
ited his opinion whether any criminal pro-
ceedings would lie under the federal laws in
the federal courts against persons charged
with the killing of Italian subjects. He has
not yet received the official report. If it be
found that a prosecution can be maintained
under the statutes of the United States, the
case will be presented to the next grand jury
according to the usual methods of criminal
administration. But if it shall be found, as
seems probable, that criminal proceedings
can only be taken in the courts of Louisi-ma,
the president can in this direction do no more
than to urge upon the state officers the duty of
promptly bringing the offenders to trial. This
was done in his telegram to the governor of
Louisiana as early as March 15. If it shall re-
sult that the case can be prosecuted only in
the state courts of Louisiana, and the usual
judicial investigation and procedure under the
criminal law is not resorted to, it will then be
the duty of the United States to consider
whether some other form of redress may be
asked. It is understood that the state grand
jury is now investigating the affair, and while
it is possible that the jury may fail to present
indictments, the United States cannot assume
that such will be the case.
"The United States did not by the treaty
with Italy become the insurer of the lives or
property of Italian subjects resident within
our territory. No government is able, how-
ever high its civilization, however vigilant its
police supervision, however severe its crim-
inal code, and however prompt and inflexible
its criminal administration, to secure its own
citizens against violence promoted by individ-
ual malice or by sudden popular tumult. The
foreign resident must be content in such cases
to share the same redress that is offered by
the law to the citizen; and has no just cause
of complaint or right to ask the interposition
of his country if the courts are equally open
to him for the redress of his injuries.
"The treaty, in the first, second, third, and,
notably, in the twenty-third articles, clearly
limits the rights guaranteed to the citizens of
the contracting powers in the territory of each
to equal treatment and to free access to the
courts of justice. Foreign residents are not
made a favored class. It is not believed that
Italy would desire a more stringent construc-
tion of her duty under the treaty. Where the
injury inflicted upon a foreign resident is not
the act of the government or of its officers,
but of an individual or of a mob, it is believed
that no claim for indemnity can justly be
made, unless it shall be made to appear that
the public authorities charged with the peace
of the community have connived at the un-
lawful act, or, having timely notice of the
threatened danger, have been guilty of such
gross negligence in taking the necessary pre-
cautions as to amount to connivance.
"If, therefore, it should appear that among
those killed by the mob at New Orleans there
were some Italian subjects who were resident
or domiciled in that city, agreeably to our
treaty with Italy and not in violation of our
immigration laws, and who were abiding in the
Eeace of the United States and obeying the
iws thereof and of the state of Louisiana.
and that the public officers charged with the
duty of protecting life and property in that
city connived at the work of the mob, or. upon
proper notice or information of the threat-
ened danger, failed to take any steps for the
preservation of the public peace and after-
ward to bring the guilty to trial, the presi-
dent would, under such circumstances, feel
that a case was established that should be
submitted to the consideration of congress
with a view to the relief of the families of the
Italian subjects who had lost their lives by
lawless violence. Accept, etc.,
"JAMs G. BLAINE "
On the 28th of April the United States attor-
ney at New Orleans, under instructions from
the attorney general, submitted a lengthy re-
port of the indictment, trial and murder of
the Italians, with a brief biography of each,
and all the evidence that could be obtained
concerning their nativity and citizenship.
This report shows that Charles Traina, Lo-
retta Comitz and Pietro Monastero only of all
the victims were not citizens of the United
States, or had not filed a declaration of their

intention to become such. He also submitted
evidence of the existence of a secret society
organized for the purpose of crime; also a
list of assassinations, ninety-four in number,
which were alleged to have been committed
by members of this society.
On the 3d of May Marquis Rudini addressed
the following to the Italian charge d' affaires
at Washington, which was not transmitted to
the secretary of state but was published in
the newspapers:
"I have now before me a note addressed to
you by Secretary Blalne April 14. Its perusal
produces a most painful impression upon me.
I will not stop to lay stress upon the lack of
conformity with diplomatic usages displayed
in making use. as Mr. Blaine did not hesitate
to do, of a portion of a telegram of mine com-
municated to him in strict confidence, in order
to get rid of a question clearly defined in our
official documents, which alone possess a
diplomatic value; nor will I stop to point out
the reference in this telegram of mine of
March 24 that the words 'punishment of the
guilty' in the brevity of telegraphic language
actually signified only that prosecution ought
to be commenced in order that the individuals
recognized as guilty should not escape pun-
'shment.
'Far above all astute arguments remains
the fact that henceforth the federal govern-
ment declares itself conscious of what we
have constantly asked and yet it does not
grant our legitimate demands.
" Mr. Blaine is right when he makes the pay-
ment of indemnity to the families of the vic-
tims dependent upon proof of the violation of
the treaty; but we shrink from thinking that
tie considers that the fact of such violation
still needs proof. Italian subjects acquitted
by American juries were massacred in prisons
of the state without measures being taken to
defend them.
What other proof does the federal gov-
ernment expect of a violation of a treaty
wherein constant protection and security of
subjects of the contracting parties is expressly
stipulated?
" We have placed on evidence that we have
never asked anything else but the opening of
regular proceedings. In regard to this, Baron
Java's first note, dated March 15, contained
even the formula of the telegram addressed
on the same day by Mr. Blaine. under the
order of President Harrison, to the governor
of Louisiana. Now. however, in the note of
April 14 Mr. Blaine is silent on the subject
American Telescopes.
The twelve largest refracting telescopes are
those of the Lick Observatory, with an apert-
ure of 36 inches, Yale University, 28; United
States Naval, 2f>; Leander McCorinick, 2>;
Princeton, 23; Denver, 20; Smithsonian. 2J;
Dearborn, 18.5; Carleton College. Ki.2: War-
ner, 16; Washington, 15.5, and Harvard, 15.
The largest reflecting telescopes are those of
Harvard College. 28 inches, and the Rev. Dr.
John Peate, 22. Dr. Peate, who is an amateur
maker, has finished a 31!^ inch silver-on-glass
mirror, which will be presented to the Alle-
gheny college at Meadville. When mounted
t will be the largest reflecting telescope in
this country. There are numerous reflectors
made by Brashear from nine to twelve inches
n diameter. The Clarks have ground an ob-
ject glass of forty inches for a telescope to be
mounted in an observatory yet to be built on
Mount Wilson, in Southern California.
Though the Lick Observatory possesses the
largest telescope at present. Harvard col-
lege has the best equipped observatory for
general astronomical work in America, and
one of the best in the world.
which is, for us, the main point of contro-
versy.
" We are under the sad necessity of con-
cluding that what to every other government
would be the accomplishment of simple duty
is impossible to the federal government. It
is time to break off the bootless controversy.
Public opinion, the sovereign judge, will know
how to indicate an equitable solution of this
grave problem.
" We have affirmed, and we again affirm, i
our right. Let the federal government reflect
upon its side if it is expedient to leave to the
mercy of each state of the Union, irresponsi- j
ble to foe<0n countries, the efficiency of
treaties pledging its faith and honor to entire
nations.
" The present dispatch is addressed to you ]
exclusively, not to the federal government.
" Your dut'es henceforth are solely re-
stricted to dealing with current business."
On the day of the publication of the above
document, Mr. Blaine called it to the atten- ,
tion of the American minister at Rome, and
after quoting the first paragraph, said:
" The intimation of the Marquis Rudini that
the telegram in question was delivered in |
strict confidence is a total error. As the tele-
gram expressed the demand of the Italian i
government, it was impossible that Marquis 1
Rudini could transmit it in strict confidence. |
As I have already stated, it was communi-
cated to me in person by Baron Fava, written
in English in his own handwriting, without a
suggestion of privacy and the telegram itself
has not a single mark upon it denoting a con-
fidential character. I have caused a number
of copies of the telegram to be forwarded to
you to-day in facsimile. The usual mark for
italic printing was used by me under four
lines, and they appear in the copies. You
will use the facsimiles in such manner as will
most effectually prove the error into which
the Marquis Rudini has fallen. BLAINE."
This closed the correspondence between the
United States and the Italian government.
On the 19th of May the attorney-general of
the United States forwarded to the secretary
of state a copy of the report of the grand jury
as to the murder of the prisoners in the par-
ish jail, to which is appended the report of
the committee of fifty citizens on the exist- j
ence of secret societies in New Orleans, i
Both these reports show with reasonable :
conclusiveness that the jury that tried the pris- j
oners had been tampered with by the friends
of the prisoners and that the tria'l was a trav-
esty on justice.
Northern Explorations.
The most northern point ever attained by
man was reached by Lieut. James B. Lock-
wood, a member of the American Lady Frank-
lin Bay Expedition, who May 13, 1882, stood
under 83:28:8 N. He was accompanied by
Sergt. Brainard, who in his Held notes says:
"We have reached a higher latitude than
ever before reached by mortal man, and on a
land farther north than was supposed by
many to exist. We unfurled the glorious
stars and stripes to the exhilarating northern ,
breezes with an exultation impossible to de-
scribe." For three centuries England had held
the honors of the farthest north. The follow-
ing table shows the farthest points of north
latitude reached by Arctic explorers:

The only authorized material standard of customary length is the Troughton scale belong-
ing to this office, whose length at 59.62 deg. Fahr. conforms to the British standard. The yard
in use in the United States is therefore equal to the British yard.
The only authorized material standard of customary weight is the troy pound of the mint.
It is of brass of unknown density, and therefore not suitable for a standard of mass. It was
derived from the British standard troy pound of 1758 by direct comparison. The British avoir-
dupois pound was also derived from the latter, and contains 7.000 grains troy.
The grain troy is therefore the same as the grain avoirdupois, and the pound avoirdupois
in use m the United States is equal to the British pound avoirdupois.
The British gallon, 4.54346 liters. The British bushel, 36.3477 liters.

of weights and measures has been established near Paris. Under the direction of the inter-
national committee two ingots were cast of pure platinum-iridtum in the proportion of nine
parts of the former to one of the latter metal. From one of these a certain number of kilo-
grammes were prepared, from the other a definite number of meter bars. These standards of
weight and length were intercompared, without preference, and certain ones were selected as
international prototype standards. The others were distributed by lot to the different govern-
ments and are called national prototype standards. Those apportioned to the United States
are in the keeping of this office.
The metric system was legalized in the United States in 1866.
The international standard meter is derived from the meter des archives, and Its length is
defined by the distance between two lines at centigrade, on a platinum-iridium bar deposited
at the international bureau of weights and measures.
The international standard kilogramme is a mass of platinum-iridium deposited at the
same place, and its weight in vacuo is the same as that of the kilogramme des archives.
The liter is equal to a cubic decimeter of water, and it is measured by the quantity of dis-
tilled water which, at its maximum density, will counterpoise the standard kilogramme In a
vacuum, the volume of such a quantity of water being, as nearly as has been ascertained,
equal to a cubic decimeter.

NOTE. Immigrants from the British North American Possessions and Mexico are not
included in the statistics of immigration owing to the absence of law providing for the collec-
tion of accurate datai n regard thereto. The arrivals of emigrants in the customs districts
above specified comprise about 99 per cent, of the entire immigration into the country.
Arrivals, by nationalities and by decades, of alien passengers from October 1, 1820, to
December 31, 1867, and of immigrants from January 1, 1808, to June 30, 1890.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR
THE SEAL FISHERIES DISPUTE.
The territory of Alaska has been valuable .
for its seal fisheries. In 179: the territory was |
granted by Russia to the Russo-American Fur
Company which grant extended to 1S39. This
company established a station or settlement
at New Archangel, one of the Alaskan islands,
and annually exported about 25,000 skins of
the seal, sea otter, beaver and other fur-bear-
ing animals. In 1867 the whole Russian pos-
sessions in America were ceded to the United
States, and on the 9th of October in that year
our government took formal possession of
the territory, paying therefor $7,200,000. The
seal fisheries continued to grow more valu-
able, ana to prevent the total extinction of
the seals, congress, in 1868, placed Alaska un-
der the jurisdiction of the treasury depart-
ment, and in the same act forbade the killing,
except by the permission of the department,
of any mink, marten, sable, or fur-seal, or
other fur-bearing animal in the territory of
Alaska or in the waters thereof. The Priby-
lov Islands of St. Paul and St. George, which
are the breeding grounds of the seals, were
leased to the Alaska Commercial Company of
San Francisco at an annual rental of $60,000
with a royalty ol $2 on every seal-skin shipped.
The number permitted to be killed is 100.000
each year. With tbe increase of population
on the Paciflccoast the difficulty of preserving
the seals from destruction became greatly in-
creased. Vessels from British Columbia hov-
ered around the seal islands, and found many [
ways of securing cargoes of seal-skins which |
the Alaska Company and the government
could not prevent. American vessels also
engaged in the forbidden traffic, and it be-
came evident unless this poaching could be
stopped that the total extinction of the seal
was a matter of a very few years.
In 1S76 the United States government sent
cruisers to the Bering sea to stop such dep-
redations, and since then a more or less
effective policing of those islands and waters
has been maintained. The Indians, however,
carried on an illicit traffic in fur skins which
it was impossible to check. They would stalk
and harpoon the seals on the islands, and
take the skins in their boats out to sea, ex-
changing them with vessels engaged in the
business, for money or whisky. In order to
stop this business the treasury department in
1886 attempted to enforce the doctrine that
the Bering sea was a mare clausum, and that
the United States had jurisdiction over one-
half of it. There is no doubt but that Russia
had always maintained this doctrine, and
that Great Britain had once admitted it, but
in 1822 when Russia again attempted to claim
sovereignty over the sea, both the United
States and Great Britain raised a strong pro-
test against the claim that any nation could
assert territorial jurisdiction over a sea hav-
ing an entrance more than 1000 miles in width.
When, therefore, our own government made*
the same claim to jurisdiction that it had dis-
puted when made by Russia, Great Britain
again protested and used the same argu-
ments against the claim that the United States
had used when it was made by Russia in 1822.
The revenue cutter "Corwin" was sent to
the Bering sea, and its commander was in-
structed to seize all sealers found east of a
line drawn from between the Diomede
Islands, in Bering sea.straight in a south-west-
erly direction to a point equi-distant from
Copper, and Otter Islands in the Aleutian
group. In 1S86 the British schooners Carolina,
Onward, and Thornton were capturod and
taken to S-itka. A trial was held, the vessels
were condemned, the masters fined and the
seal-skins on board were confiscated and sent
to San Francisco. The British government at
once made a demand for the release of the
prisoners and presented a claim against the
United States of about $160,000 for loss of
property, damages, etc. In January 1887 the
president directed the authorities of Alaska
to release unconditionally the imprisoned
men and to surrender the vessels and prop-
erty. The order was not complied with until
September. The treasury department, how-
ever, did not revoke its instructions to com-
manders of naval vessels in those waters but
dispatched the "Rush" with the same instruc-
tions. In tbe summer of 1887 the "Rush"
seized the British vessels Dolphin, Annie
Beck, W. P. Saywood, Grace and Alfred Ad-
ams besides seven American sealers, at vari-
ous* distances from the shore, of from thirty
to seventy miles. The British vessels were
again released.
In 1889 a bill passed congress to provide for
the better protection of the Alaskan fisheries,
but in the law as passed the government tac-
itly receded from its claim that the Bering
sea was a mare clausum. Arbitration of the
whole subject was proposed and practically
accepted. In the meantime the season was
approaching when the animals seek the
islands, and arbitration could not be com-
pleted in time to prevent the indiscriminate
slaughter of seals by poachers. A modus
vivendi was proposed to meet the pressing
difficulty, and accepted. The correspondence
which resulted in the adoption of the modus
vivendi began with a letter from Secretary
Elaine dated May 4, 1891, to the British minis-
ter. Sir Julian Panncefote, to which a reply
was made June 3. The whole correspond-
ence includes eleven letters which passed be-
tween the diplomates between that date and
June 13. Some of these letters were of much
importance, since the negotiators differed
about several points of interest. The nego-
tiations were concluded finally on the 15th of
June 1891, on which date the president issued
a proclamation making public the terms of
the agreement finally reached on that day.
The rapidity with which the latter steps in the
negotiation were made is unusual in diplo-
matic affairs and was only rendered possible
by the free use of the cable.
The agreement finally concluded is signed
by Acting Secretary of State Wharton, who has
conducted the concluding correspondence,
and Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British minis-
ter. The terms of the convention are as fol-
lows:
Agreement between the government of the
United States and the government of Her
Britannic Majesty for a modus vivendi in re-
lation to the fur-seal fisheries in Bering sea.
For the purpose of avoiding irritating dif-
ferences and with a view to promote the
friendly settlement of the questions pending
between the two governments touching their
respective rights in Bering sea, and for the
preservation of the seal species, the following
agreement is made without prejudice to the
rights or claims of either party:
1. Her Majesty's government will prohibit,
until May next, seal killing in that part of
Bering sea lying eastward of the line of
demarcation described in article Xo. 1 of the
treaty of 1867 between the United States and
Russia; and wiil promptly use its best efforts
to insure the observance of this prohibition
by British subjects nnd vessels.
2. The United States government will pro-
hibit seal killing for the same period in the
same part of Boring sea and on the shores
and islanrls thereof, the property of the
United States (in excess of 7,500 to be taken
CREED REVISION.
45
on the islands for the subsistence and care of
the natives), and* will promptly use its best
efforts to insure the observance of this pro-
hibition by United States citizens and vessels.
3. Every vessel or person offending against
this prohibition in the said waters of Bering
sea. outside of the ordinary territorial limits
of the United States, may be seized and de-
tained by the naval or other duly commis-
sioned officers of either of the high contract-
ing parties, but they shall be handed over as
soon as practicable to the authorities of the
nation to which they respectively belong,
who shall alone have jurisdiction to try the
offense and impose the penalties for the same.
The witnesses and proofs necessary to estab-
lish the offense shall also be sent with them.
4. In order to facilitate such proper inqui-
ries as Her Majesty's government may desire
to make, with a view to the presentation of
the case of that government before arbitra-
tors, and in expectation that an agreement
for arbitration may be arrived at, it is agreed
that suitable persons designated by Great
Britain will be permitted at any time, upon
application, to visit or to remain upon the
seal islands during the present sealing season
for that purpose.
The agreement reached is the result of sug-
gestions made and modifications accepted on
both sides, but in regard to substantial mat-
ters the United States succeeded in carrying
its points. One of the matters about which a
difference of opinion arose was in regard to
the participation of Russia in the agreement
to be adopted, a point which was urged by Sir
Julian Pauncefote in his proposal of June 3,
madein reply to Secretary Elaine's note of
May 4. Sir Julian proposed an agreement for
a close season, with the limitation that the
agreement should not go into operation unless
Russia should assent to it. This was declared
by Assistant Secretary Wharton to present an
insuperable difficulty, inasmuch as Russia
had never asserted any rights in the waters in
question affecting the subject matter of the
contention, and ne said that an insistance
upon it would be construed as a practical
withdrawal from the negotiations for a modus
Vivendi. This condition was withdrawn by
cabled instructions from Lord Salisbury to
the British minister.
In a proposed modification of the terms of
an agreement suggested by Assistant Secre-
tary Wharton, Lord Salisbury suggested that
a joint commission of experts should be ap-
pointed to report upon the question what
inter-arrangements, if any, between Great
Britain and the United States and Russia, or
any other power, are necessary for the pur-
pose of preserving the fur-seal race in the
northern Pacific ocean. In reply to this prop-
osition the state department declared that
it regarded this as one of the incidents of the
agreement for arbitration and to have no
proper place in the proposals for a modus
Vivendi. On being pressed for prompt action,
Lord Salisbury finally gave the British min-
ister at Washington the requisite authority to
sign the agreement in the shape which it
finally took, but with the understanding that
a joint commission should be appointed with-
out delay, a condition to which the state de-
partment readily agreed. The appointment
of a joint high commission to consider per-
manent measures for preventing the extinc-
tion of seal life will, therefore, be made with-
out unnecessary delaj .
The discussion now going on in the presby-
terian church regarding the revision of its
confession of faith is of interest not only to
the adherents of that church but to the great
body of Christians in the United States irre-
spective of denominational affiliations. The
common idea is that creed revision is only
another name for the abandonment of truths
once held to be essential, and that it implies
the surrender of unpopular beliefs in re-
sponse to a demand for liberalism inside, as
well as outside, of the church itself. Nothing
could be much further from the truth. The
period of greatest power and accomplish-
ment in the Christian church was during the
three centuries succeeding the death of the
Savior, and during that whole period the sim-
>licity of the creed was a tower of strength.
t was practically what is now known as the
apostle's creed. The increase of churches
and of philosophic thought caused disputes
as to the construction and meaning of biblical
statements which resulted in divisions into
sects Each band of Christians that left some
parent church proceeded to particularize the
cause of its secession and to emphasize its
peculiar tenets, which it incorporated into its
creed as a badge of its distinctive belief. In
this way the creeds of churches have become
encumbered with many dogmas which, while
they may be true, are liable to be misunder-
stood and have not the authority of "Thus
saith the Lord" for being made a test of
Christianity. Creed revision is, therefore, not
the surrender of anybody of Christian truth,
but the giving up of tenets, easily misunder-
stood, not held to be essential by the early
church it is a return to first principles of
Christianity rather than a letting down in any
of the essentials of early Christian faith and
practice. There are many truths in mathe-
CREED REVISION.
What it is and how it is being accomplished.
matics that have no place in the multiplica-
tion table and there are also many truths,
held by all Christians to be divine, that have
no place in a church creed, and creed revision
is the withdrawal of such non-essential truths
from the confession of faith.
In the nature of the case it is difficult to in-
dicate definitely the beginning of any great
movement of religious thought, but we may
say, in general, that by the year 1887 the ques-
tion of revision had.become prominent in the
presbyterian church in the United States of
America. The presbytery of Long Island
took the initiative in communicating with
other presbyteries upon the subject, with the
result that when the general assembly con-
vened in New York City in 1889, overtures were
sent to it from fifteen presbyteries asking for
some revision of the confession of faith upon
the ground that in the opinion of "many of
our ministers and people" some forms of
statement contained therein were "liable to
misunderstanding and exposed the system of
doctrine to unmerited criticism."
Upon this the assembly of 1889 submitted
two questions to all the presbyteries: 1. Do
you desire a revision of the confession of
faith ? 2. If so, in what respects and to what
extent? The answers to these questions were
returned to the next assembly, convened at
Saratoga in IS'.O, when it appeared that 134
presbyteries had answered "yes" to the first
question.
A committee was then appointed, consist-
ing of fifteen ministers and ten elders, to be
known as "The Assembly's Committee on the
I Revision of the Confession of Faith,

to the assembly of 1891, at Detroit, such alter-
i ations and amendments to the confession of

faith as in their judgment might be deemed
advisable.
Inasmuch, however, as sixty-eight presby-
teries had answered - 'no" to the first of the
above questions, and sixty-nine presbyteries
of those answering "yes" had expressly said
that they desired "no change in the confes-
sion of faith that should impair the integ-
rity of the system of doctrine taught therein,"
the committee on revision was instructed not
to propose any alterations or amendments
that should in any way impair the integrity
of the reformed or Calviuistic system of doc-
trine taught in the confession.
At the meeting of the general assembly in
Detroit in 1891 the following alterations,
amendments and additions which the revis-
ion committee on the confession of faith had
prepared to recommend to the general assem-
blv were submitted. It is the result of the
labors of a committee composed of theolog-
ical professors, college presidents, pastors
and elders, chosen from the factions which fa-
vored revision and also from those whoop-
posed it. The new version precedes the old
as here printed, the new being leaded. Words
in the new statement inclosed in quotation
marks are additions to the received text.

vision committee and Wm. E. Moore secretary.

CHAPTER III. OF GOD'S ETERNAL DECREE.
Sections I and II unchanged; sections III
and IV stricken out, and section V amended
so that section III will read:
III. God, before the foundation of the world
was laid, according to his eternal and im-
mutable purpose and the secret counsel and
good pleasure of his will, hath predestined
some of mankind unto life, and hath particu-
larly and unchangeably chosen them in Christ
unto everlasting glory, out of his mere free
grace and love, without any foresight of
faith, or good works, or perseverance in
either of them, or any other thing in the
creature, as conditions or causes, moving
him thereunto; and all to the praise of his
glorious grace.
Section VI remains unchanged and becomes
section IV. Section VII was amended and
becomes section V, and is as follows:
V. The rest of mankind, God was pleased
according to the unsearchable counsel of
his own will, whereby he extendeth or with-
holdeth mercy as he pleaseth, "not to elect
unto everlasting life," but to ordain them to
dishonor and wrath for their sin, to the praise
of his glorious justice; "yet so as thereby
neither is any limitation put upon the offer of
salvation to all, upon condition of faith in
Christ; nor is restraint laid upon the free-
dom of any one to hinder his acceptance of
this offer."
VI. Section VIII remains unchanged and be-
comes section VI.
III. By the decree of God for the mani-
festation of his glory, some men and angels
are predestined unto everlasting life, and
others foreordained to everlasting death.
IV. These angels and men, thus predes-
tinated and foreordained, are particularly and
unchangeably designed; and their number is
so certain and definite that it cannot be
either increased or diminished.
V. Those of mankind that are predestined
into life, God, before the foundation of the
world was laid, according to his eternal and
immutable purpose and the secret counsel
and good pleasure of his will, hath chosen in
Christ unto everlasting glory, out of his mere
free grace and love, without any foresight of
faith or good works, or perseverance in either
of them, or any other thing in the creature,
as conditions or causes moving him there-
unto; and all to thepraiseof hisgloriousgrace.
VII. The rest of mankind God was pleased,
according to the unsearchable counsel of his
own will, whereby he extendeth or with-
holdeth mercy as he pleaseth for the glory
of his sovereign power over his creatures to
pas by, and to ordain them to dishonor and
wrath for their sin, to the praise of his glo-
rious justice.
CHAPTER IV. OF CREATION.
I. It pleased God, the Father, Son and
Holy Ghost for the manifestation of the
glory of his eternal power, wisdom and good-
ness in the beginning to create of nothing
"the universe" and all things therein,
whether visible or invisible, and all very
good. "The heavens and the earth, with all
that they contain, were made by him in six
creative days." .

opposite to all "that is spiritually" good, and
wholly inclined to evil, do proceed all actual
transgressions. "Nevertheless, the provi-
dence of God and the common operations of
his spirit restrain unregenerate men from
much that is evil and lead them to exercise
many social and civil virtues."
IV. From this original corruption, whereby
we are utterly indisposed, disabled and made

CHAPTER VII. OF Go'S COVENANT WITH
MAN.
III. Man by his fall, having made himself
incapable of life by that covenant, the Lord
was pleased to make a second, commonly
called the covenant of grace, wherein he
freely offereth "by his word and spirit" unto
sinners life and salvation by Jesus Christ, re-
quiring of them faith in him that they may
be saved, and promising to give unto all those
that are ordained unto life his holy spirit to
make them willing and able to believe.

that they might be saved, and promising to
give unto all those that are ordained unto life

Section IV was stricken out; section V be-
comes section IV. The words in the last line,
"and is called the Old Testament," were
stricken out.
IV. This covenant was differently adminis-
tered in the time of the law and in the time of
the gospel, under the law it was administered
by promises, prophecies, sacrifices, circumcis-
ion, the paschal lamb and other types and
ordinances delivered to the people of the
Jews, all fore-signifying Christ to come, which
were for that time sufficient and efficacious,
through the operation of the spirit, to instruct
and build up the elect in faith in the promised
Messiah, by whom they had full remission of
sins and eternal salvation.
IV. This covenant of grace is frequently set
forth in the Scripture by the name of a testa-
ment in reference to the death of Jesus Christ,
the testator, and to the everlasting inher-
itance, with all things belonging to it, therein
bequeathed.
Section VI becomes section V. In line nine
the words, "and is called the New Testa-
ment," were stricken out.
V. Under the gospel, when Christ, the sub-
stance, was exhibited, the ordinances, in which
this covenant is dispensed, are the preaching
of the word and the administration of the
sacraments of baptism and the Lord's supper,
which, though few in number, and adminis-
tered with more simplicity and less outward
glory, yet in them it is held forth in more full-
ness, evidence and spiritual efficacy to all na-
tions, both Jews and Gentiles. There are not,
therefore, two covenants of grace differing in
substance, but one and the same under va-
rious dispensations.
CHAPTER VHI. OF CHRIST THE MEDIATOR.
V. The Lord Jesus, by his perfect obedience
and sacrifice of himself, which he through
the eternal spirit once offered up unto God,
hath fully satisfied "divine" justice and pur-
chased not only reconciliation but an ever-
lasting inheritance in the kingdom of heaven
for all those whom the Father hath given
unto him.
The chapter, "Of the Work of the Holy
Spirit," becomes chapter IX.
V. The Lord Jesus, by his perfect obedience
and sacrifice of himself, which he through
the eternal spirit once offered up unto God,
hath fully satisfied the justice of his Father
and purchased not only reconciliation but an
everlasting inheritance in the kingdom of
heaven for all those whom the Father hath
given unto him.
CHAPTER IX. OF THE WORK OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT.
I. The Holy Spirit, the third person in the
trinity, being very and eternal God, the same
in substance with the Father and the Son,
and equal in power and glory(l), is together
with the Father and Son to be believed in,
loved, obeyed and worshiped throughout all
ages(2). (1) Matt. ,3: 16-17; 28: 19; John 14, 16-17;
I Cor., 2: 11. (2)11 Cor., 13: 14; Gal., 5: 22,25;
Eph.,4:4-6; Heb., 9; 14.
II. The Holy Spirit, who of old revealed to
men in various ways the mind and will of
God, hath fully and authoritatively made
known this mind and will in all things per-
taining to life and salvation in the sacred
Scriptures(l), holy men of God speaking
therein as they were moved by the Holy
Ghost (2), and these Scriptures, being so in-
spired, are the infallible word of God, the
supreme rule of faith and duty(3). (1) I Cor.,
2: 10-13; Heb., 1: 1-2; John, 16: 13. (2) Acts, 1:
16; II Tim., 3: 15-16; II Peter, 1:21. (3)1
Thess., 2; 13; John, 5: 39; Col. ,3: 16.
III. The Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of
life, is everywhere present among men. con-
firming the teachings of nature and the law of
God written on the heart, restraining from
evil and inciting to good, and is the source of
all the wisdom, virtue and reverence for God
found in men, and of all the peace and good
order in society, thus preparing the way for
the gospel wherever it is preached(l). He
everywhere accompanies the gospel with his
persuasive energy and urges its passage upon
the unregenerate, enlightening their minds
concerning divine things, quickening their
consciences and drawing them by his grace so
that they who reject the merciful offer of the
gospel are not only without excuse but are
also guilty of resisisting the Holy spirit (2).

agent in applying and communicating re-
demption. He effectually calls sinners to
new life in Christ Jesus, regenerating them by
his almighty grace, freeing them from the
bondage of sin and death and persuading and
enabling them to embrace Jesus Christ by
faith (1). He dwells in all believers as their
comforter and sanctifler, and as the spirit of
adoption and of supplication (2), leading them
into all the truth, making the means of grace
efficacious in their edification, strengthen-
ing them for all duty, sustaining them in all
affliction (3) and performing all other gracious
offices by which they are sanctified, sealed
and made meet for the inheritance of the
saints in light. (1) John, 3: 5; II Cor., 5: 5, 17;

V. By the indwelling of the Holy Spirit all
believers are vitally united to Christ, who is
the head, and are thus united to one another
in the church, which is his body(l). He calls
and anoints ministers for their holy office.
He also calls and qualifies all other officers in
the church for their special work and imparts
various gifts, and graces to its members(2).
He gives efficacy to the word and to the
ordinances of the gospel, keeps the church
from apostasy, revives it in times of declen-
sion and enables it to bear effectual testi-
mony to the truth(3). By him the church has
been and will be preserved, increased and
purified until it shall cover the earth and at
last be presented to Christ a glorious church,
not having spot or wrinkle or any such
thing(4). (1) I Tim., 3: 15; Eph., 1: 22, 23; 3: 10

CHAPTER IX. (X.) OP FREEWILL.
III. Man, by his fall into a state of sin,
hath wholly lost all ability of will to any spir-
itual good accompanying salvation, so as a
natural man, being altogether "indisposed
to" that good and dead in sin, Is not able, by his
own strength, to convert himself or to pre-
pare himself thereunto. ''Yet is his re-
sponsibility as a free moral agent not thereby
impaired."
The chapter "Of the Universal Offer of the
GospeV'becomes chapter XL, and the number
of all succeeding chapters is increased by two.
III. Man, by his fall into a state of sin. hath
wholly lost all ability of will to any spiritual
good accompanying salvation; so as a natural
man, being altogether averse from that good
and dead in sin, is not able by his own
strength to convert himself or to prepare
himself thereunto.
CHAPTER XI. OF THE UNIVERSAL OFFER OF
THE GOSPEL.
I. God so loved the world that he provided
in the covenant of grace, through the media-
tion and sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ, a
way of life and salvation sufficient for and
adapted to the whole lost race of man(l);
and he doth freely offer this salvation to all
men in the gospel(2). (1) Rom., 1: 16; II Cor.,
: 19; Eph.. 1: 10; Col., 1:20; Heb., 9: 26; 10: 14;
I John, 1: 7; 2: 2. (2) Luke, 23: 47; Acts, 2:39;
13: 47; Col., 1: 23.
II. The gospel declares the love of God for
the world(l), and his desire for the salvation
of all men(2). It sets forth fully and clearly
the only way of salvation, which is through
Christ alone(3); promises that all who truly
repent and believe in him shall be saved (4) ;
commands, exhorts and invites all to embrace
the offered mercy; and urges every motive to
to induce man to accept its gracious invita-
tions^). This free and universal offer of the
gospel is accompanied by the holy spirit(6),
striving with and entreating men to believe
n the Lord Jesus Christ. (1) John, 3: 16; I
John, 4: 14. (2) Ezek., 33: 11; Matt., 23: 37;
Luke, 19: 41, 42; ITim.,2: 4. (3)Isa.,53: 5; Matt.,
1: 21; Luke, 2: 30-32; I Cor., 1: 30; 3: 11; ITim.,2:
5' 6; 3: 16. (4) John, 5: 24; 6: 47; 20: 31; Acts, 2:
38; 3: 19; 10: 43; 16: 31; Rom., 10: 9-11. (5) Isa.,
55: 1-3; Matt., 11: 28-30; Mark, 1: 15; 8: 36; Luke,
4: 18; John, 7: 37; Acts, 17: 30; II Cor., 5: 20. (6)
John, 16: 8-11; Acts, 2: 17; 10: 44,45; 16: 14; I Cor.,
2: 4; Titus, 3; 5,6; Heb., 2: 4; Rev. 22: 17.
III. It is the duty and privilege of every one
who hears the gospel immediately to accept
its merciful pro visions (1). Great guilt and
danger are incurred by delay or neglect(2).
And they who continue to disobey the gospel
perish by their own fault and are wholly with-
out excuse, because they have resisted the
holy spirit and rejected God's gracious offer of
eternal life(3). (1) Matt., 3: 2; Luke, 9: 61,62;
13: 24, 25; II Cor., 6: 2; Heb., 3: 13, 15. (2) Matt..
7: 24-27; 25: 10; Luke, 12: 20; 14: 18; Acts, 24: 25;
Heb., 2: 1-3; 12: 25. (3) Prov., 1: 24-26; John, 3:
18; 19:36; Acts, 7:51; Rom., 2: 4,5; II Cor.,
2:15,16:4:3,4; II Thess., 1: 8, 9.
IV. As there is no other way of salvation
than that revealed in the gospel(l), and as in
the divinely established and ordinary method
of grace faith comet h by hearing the word of
God, Christ hath given to his church the writ-
ten word, the sacraments and the ministry;
endowed her with the holy spirit and com-
missioned her to go with his gospel into all the
world and to make disciples of all nations(2).
It is, therefore, the duty and privilege of
all believers to sustain the means of grace
where they are already established, and to
contribute by their prayers, gifts and per-
sonal efforts to the extension of the kingdom
of Christ throughout the whole earth. (1) John,
8: 24; 10: 9; 14: 6; Acts, 4: 12. (2) Matt., 28: 19. 20;
Mark, 16: 15; Acts, 1: 8; 8: 4; 26: 16-18; Rom.,1:
14,15; 10:14, 15,17; 16:25,26.
CHAPTER (X.) XII. OF EFFECTUAL CALLING.
II. This effectual call is of God's free and

quickened and renewed by the holy spirit,

II. This effectual call is of God's free and
special grace alone, not from anything at all
foreseen in man, who is altogether passive
therein, until being quickened and renewed
by the holy spirit, he is thereby enabled to
answer this call and to embrace the grace of-
fered and conveyed in it.
III. "All" infants dying in infancy, and all
other persons who "from birth to death" are
incapable of beine outwardly called by the
ministry of the word, "are redeemed" by
Christ, "and regenerated by the spirit," who
worketh when, and where, and how he
pleaseth.
III. Elect infants dying in infancy are re-
generated and saved by Christ through the
spirit, who worketh when, and where, and
how he pleaseth So also are all other elect
persons who are incapable of being outwardly
called by the ministry of the word.
IV. Others, not elected, although they may
be called by the ministry of the word and
may have some common operations of the
spirit, yet "inasmuch as they" never truly
come to Christ, "they" cannot be saved;
"neither is there salvation" in any other way
"than by Christ through the spirit, however
diligent men may be in framing" their lives
according to the light of nature and the law
of that religion they do profess.
IV. Others, not elected, although they may
be called by the ministry of the word and
may have some common operations of the
spirit, yet never truly come to Christ, and
therefore cannot be saved; much less can
men not professing the Christian religion be
saved in any other way whatsoever, be they
never so diligent to frame their lives accord-
ing to the light of nature and the law of that
religion they do profess, and to assert and
maintain that they may is very pernicious
and to be detested.
CHAPTER (XI.) XIII. OF JUSTIFICATION.
I. Those whom God effectually calleth he
also freely justifleth; not by infusing right-
eousness into them, but by pardoning their
sins and by accounting and accepting their per-
sons as righteous; not for anything wrought
in them or done by them, but for Christ's
sake alone; not by imputing faith itself, the
act of believing, or any other evangelical obe-
dience to them as their righteousness, but by
imputing the obedience and satisfaction of
Christ unto them, they receiving and resting
on him and his righteousness by faith, which
faith (they have not of themselves, it) is the
gift of God.
The words in parenthesis were stricken out
so as to read, "which faith is" the gift of God.
III. Christ, by his obedience and death, did
fully discharge the debt of all those that are
thus justified, and did make a proper, real and
full satisfaction to "divine" justice in their
behalf. Yet, inasmuch as he was given by the
Father for them, and his obedience and satis-
faction accepted in their stead, and both
freely, not for anything in them, their justifi-
cation is only of free grace; that both the
exact justice and rich grace of God might be
glorified in the justification of sinners.
In line four "divine" is substituted for His
Father's justice.
CHAPTER (XIV.) XVI. OF SAVING FAITH.
I. The grace of faith whereby "sinners"
are enabled to believe to the saving of their
souls is the work of the spirit of Christ in
their hearts, and is ordinarily wrought by the
ministry of the word, by which also, and by
the administration of the sacraments and
prayer, it is increased and strengthened.
I. The grace of faith whereby the elect are
enabled to believe to the saving of their souls
is the work of the spirit of Christ in their
hearts, and is ordinarily wrought by the min-
istry of the word, by which also, and by the
administration of the sacraments and prayer,
it is increased and strengthened.
CHAPTER (XVI.) XVIII. OF GOOD WORKS.
VII. Works done by unregenerate men,
although they may be things which God com-
mands and are of good use both to them-
selves and others; "and while their neglect
of such things is sinful and displeasing unto
God," yet because they proceed not from a
heart purified by faith, nor are done in a
right manner, according to the word; nor to a
right end, the glory of God, they are there-
fore "not free from sin," and cannot "be ac-
cepted of " God or make a man meet to re-
ceive grace from God.
VII. Works done by unregenerate men,
although for the matter of them they may be
things which God commands, and of good use
both to themselves and others, yet because
they proceed not from a heart purified by
faith, nor are done in a right manner, ac-
cording to the word; nor to a right end, the
glory of God, they are therefore sinful, and
cannot please God or make a man meet to re-
ceive grace from God. And yet their neglect
of them is more sinful and displeasing unto
God.
CHAPTER (XXI.) XXIII. OF RELIGIOUS WOR-
SHIP AND THE SABBATH DAY.
IV. Prayer is to be made for things lawful;
"for the forgiveness of all sins except" the
sin unto death; and for all sorts of men
living or that shall live hereafter, but not for
the dead.
IV. Prayer is to be made for things lawful,
and for all sorts of men living or that shall
live hereafter; but not for the dead nor those
of whom it may be known that they have
sinned the sin unto death.
CHAPTER (XXII.) XXIV. OF LAWFUL OATHS
AND VOWS.
VII. No man may vow to do anything for-
bidden in the word of God or what would
hinder any duty therein commanded, or which
is not in his own power, and for the perform-
ance whereof he hath no promise or ability
from God. In which respect popish monas-
tical vows of perpetual single life, professed
poverty and regular obedience are so far re-
moved from degrees of higher perfection that
they are superstitious and sinful snares in
r>o
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1892.
which no Christian may entangle himself.
The word "popish," In line six, was stricken
out, so as to read "monastical vows," etc.
CHAPTER (XXIII.) XXV. OP THE CIVIL MAG-
ISTRATE.
III. Ciril magistrates may not assume to
themselves the administration of the word
and sacraments, or the power of the keys of
the kingdom of heaven, or in the least inter-
fere in matters of faith. Yet, as nursing
fathers, it is the duty of civil magistrates to
protect the church of our common Lord with-
out giving the preference to any denomina-
tion of Christians above the rest, in snch a
manner that all ecclesiastical persons what-
ever shall enjoy the full, free and unques-
tioned liberty of discharging every part of
their sacred functions without violence or
danger. And as Jesus Christ hath appointed
a regular government and discipline In his
church, no law of any commonwealth should
interfere with, let or hinder the due exercise
thereof among the voluntary members of any
denomination of Christians according to their
own profession and belief. It Is the duty of
civil magistrates to protect the person and
good name of all their people in such an ef-
fectual manner as that no person be suffered,
either upon pretense of religion or Infidelity,
to offer any indignity, violence, abuse or in-
jury to any other person whatsoever; and to
take order that all religious and ecclesiastical
assemblies be held without molestation or
disturbance.
The words, "as nursing fathers," lines five
and six, were stricken out.
CHAPTER (XXIV.) XXVI. OF MARRIAGE AND-
DIVORCE.
III. it is lawful for all sorts of people to
marry who are able, with judgment, to give
their consent; yet it is the duty of Christians
to marry only in the Lord; and, therefore, such
as profess the true religion should not marry
with infidels "nor with the adherents of false
religions;" neither should such as are godly
be unequally yoked by marrying with such as
are notoriously wicked in their life.
III. It is lawful for all sorts of people to
marry who are able with judgment to give
their consent; yet it is the duty of Christians to
marry only in the Lord ; and, therefore, such as
profess the true reformed religion should not
marry with infidels, papists or other Idola-
ters; neither should such as are godly be un-
equally yoked by marrying with such as are
notoriously wicked in their life or maintain
damnable heresies.
CHAPTER (XXV.) XXVII. OF THE CHURCH.
VI. There is no other head of the church
but the Lord Jesus Christ, "and the claim of
the pope of Rome to be the vicar of Christ
and the head of the church universal is with-
out warrant in Scripture or in fact, and is a
usurpation dishonoring to the Lord Jesus
Christ."
VI. There is no other head of the church
but the Lord Jesus Christ; nor can the pope
of Rome in any sense be head thereof, but
is that anti-Christ, that man of sin and son of
perdition that exalteth himself In the church
against Christ and all that is called God.
CHAPTER (XXIX.) XXXI. OF THE LORD'S
SUPPER.
II. In this sacrament Christ is not offered
up to his Father, nor any real sacrifice made at
all, for remission of sins of the quick or
dead; but only a commemoration of that one
offering up of himself by himself upon the
cross once for all. and a spiritual oblation of
all possible praise unto God for the same; so
that the "Roman catholic doctrine of the"
sacrifice of the mass is most abominably in-
jurious to Christ's one only sacrifice "for sin."
II. In this sacrament Christ is not offered
up to his Father, nor any real sacrifice made
at all, for remission of sins of the quick or
dead; but only a commemoration of that one
offering up or himself by oblation of all pos-
sible praise unto God for the same; so that
the popish sacrifice of the mass, as they call it,
Is most abominably Injurious to Christ's one
only sacrifice, the alone propitiation for all
the sins of the elect.
VIII. Although ignorant and wicked men
receive the outward elements in this sacra-
ment, yet they receive not the thing signified
thereby; but, by their unworthy coming
thereunto, are guilty of the body and blood of
the Lord to their own damnation. Wherefore
all ignorant and ungodly persons, as they are
unfit to enjoy communion with him, so are
they unworthy of the Lord's table and cannot,
without great sin against Christ, while they
remain such, partake of these holy mysteries
or be admitted thereunto.
For damnation, line six, "condemnation"
was substituted.
CHAPTER (XXX.) XXXII.-OF CHURCH CEN-
SURES.
II. To these officers the keys of the king-
dom of heaven are committed, by virtue
whereof they have "ministerial and declara-
tive" power respectively to retain and remit
sins, to shut that kingdom against the impeni-
tent, both by the word and censures, and to
open it unto penitent sinners by the ministry
of the gospel and by absolution from censures,
as occasion shall require.

ries by the general assembly "for considera-
tion, criticism or amendment." If it is

BALLOT REFORM.
51
BALLOT REFORM.
AUSTRALIAN SYSTEM IN SHADED STATES AND TERRITORIES.
The last few years have witnessed marvel-
ous reforms in the methods of exercising the
elective franchise in the United States. There
has been a popular demand among the peo-
ple that safeguards be thrown about the bal-
lot-box to protect the voter and secure abso-
lute secrecy in voting. The system in vogue
in some of the Australian colonies for the
last fifteen years became more popular in this
country the more fully it was understood, and
that system, with various modifications and
amendments, has now been adopted in twenty-
nine out of the forty-eight states and territo-
ries of the Union. The Australian system
was practically first introduced into the
United States in 1888, when it was adopted by
the state of Massachusetts and by the state
of Kentucky in which it was made applicable
to the city of Louisvjile. The same year this
system was embodied in the Saxton bill which
was introduced into and passed by the legis-
lature of the state of New York but was
vetoed by Gov. Hill, on the ground of uncon-
stitutionality. A compromise bill was,however,
passed by the legislature of that state in 1890,
and became a law. Following these examples
of Massachusetts and Kentucky, the legisla-
tures of the following states in 1889 passed
laws adopting the new system. Indiana, Mon-
tana, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Tennessee,
Minnesota, Missouri, Michigan, and Connecti-
cut. In 1890 Arkansas, California, Delaware.
Illinois, Maine, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma Territory,
Oregon, South Dakota, and West Virginia
adopted similar measures. To secure the
greatest privacy to the voter is the essential
feature of all these enactments. This is pro-
vided for by all the new laws through the
mechanical arrangements of booths, guard-
rails, etc., similar to those in use in England
and wherever the Australian system is em-
ployed. The laws in force in the various
states may not all have secured absolute se-
crecy, but they certainly have come ver> close
to bringing about this millenium in modern
election methods. The laws protect the blind
and the illiterate voters who cannot read the
tickets. Those unable to prepare their own
tickets are assisted by the election judges in
some states, and in others, they may select a
person to accompany them within the booth.
Some laws,like those of Missouri, specify that
the judges shall perform this service for the
voter when it is requested. New York and
New Jersey having separate ballots for each
of the parties, which require no marking un-
less the voter wants to scratch, make no pro-
vision for those unable to read or write.
There are two methods of grouping the
names on the tickets and both have been
tried. The first of these is the English, or
more properly the original Australian style of
alphabetical arrangement of the names of
the candidates under the title of the office.
This is used by the following states: Cali-
fornia, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota,
Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oregon,
Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, Washing-
ton, and Wyoming.
The second is known as the Belgian system,
ana consists of grouping all nominations and
offices by parties. It fs used in Missouri,
Ohio, Wisconsin, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana.
Maine, Maryland, and Oklahoma Territory.
In addition to its reform law, Massachusetts
has a bell, and some mechanism in each bal-
lot-box which registers and cancels the votes.
This apparatus was adopted before the ballot
reform law was proposed and has proved to
be a most useful and practical arrangement.
A WATCH AS A COMPASS.
All watches are compasses Point the hour
hand to the sun and the south Is exactly half-
way between that hour and the figure twelve
on the dial of the watch. For instance, sup-
pose that it is four o'clock; point the hand in-
dicating four to the sun and two on the watch
is exactly south. Or suppose it is eight o'clock;
point the hand indicating eight t9 the sun and
the figure ten on the watch will be south.
This was tested recently by a writer in the
Massachusetts Medical Record and found to
be an accurate guide.

THE PENSION OFFICE.
Work of the department for the fiscal year 1891.
The annual report of Commissioner liaum
of the pension bureau, submitted to the sec-
retary of the interior, shows that on June 30,
1891, there were 676,160 pensioners borne on
the rolls of the bureau, being 138,216 more than
were carried on the rolls at the close of the
last fiscal year. They are classified as fol-
lows: Widows and daughters of revolution-
ary soldiers, 23; army invalid pensioners, 413,-
597; army widows, minor children, etc., 108,537;
navy invalid pensioners 5,449, navy widows,
minor children, etc., 2,5(58; survivors of the
war of 1812, 7.590; survivors of the Mexican war
16,379; widows of soldiers of the Mexican war
6,976.
Following are the number of pensions of
the several classes granted under the act of
June 27, 1890: Army invalid pensioners 97,136;
army widows, minor children, etc., 12.209;
navy Invalid pensioners 3,976; navy widows,
minor children, etc., 1.436. During the last
fiscal year first payments were paid upon
131,160 original claims, requiring $31,391,538 for
their payment. This is an increase In the
number of original payments over the year
1890 of 64,532. The aggregate cost, however,
was $1,087,302 less.
There were 222.521 first payments of every
description, requiring $38,552,274, being $69,592
less than was required for the 130,514 first pay-
ments made during the last fiscal year. The
average value of first payments made during
the year was $239.33 and the average value of
first payments on claims allowed under the
act of June 27, 1890, was $71.28. The average
value of first payments for the preceding year
was $485.71, being a reduction In the average
first payments of $246.38.
The aggregate annual value of the 676,150
pensions on the roll June 31 last, 1891, was
$89,247,200 and the average annual value of
each pension was $139.99 and the average an-
nual value of each pension under the act of
June 27, 1890, was $121.51.
At the close of the fiscal year there were
38,574 pensioners on the roll who remained un-
paid for the want of time and who were en-
titled to receive $4,883,242, which will be paid
out of the appropriation for the current fiscal
year, and there remained at the close of the
fiscal year in the hands of the several pen-
sion agents the sum of $5,713.852.84 which has
since been covered into the treasury. This
amount added to $3,607,133.22 of the pension
amount not drawn from the treasury agg-e-
gates $9,320,986.06 of the appropriation which
was not expended. There will be a deficiency
in the appropriation for the payment of fees
and expenses of examining surgeons of about
The total amount disbursed on account of
pensions, expenses, etc., during the fiscal year
was $118,548,959.71 as compared with $100.493,-
890.19 disbursed during the preceding fiscal
year. So that it appears that 136,216 pensions
were added to the rolls during the fiscal year
just closed, at an increased cost to the nation
of $12,055,009 as compared with the expendi-
tures for the previous fiscal year, and said ex-
penditure includes $4,357,347 paid upon vouch-
ers remaining unpaid at the close of the year.
The largest number of certificates issued to
any class was 4,693 to men who served thirty-
six months. The age of the greatest number
of pensioners under both the old and new law
was forty-seven years. During the last year
20,525 pensioners were dropped from the rolls
for various causes, and of this number 13,229
were dropped by reason of death.
The loss to the pension rolls by the decease
of widows and dependent mothers and fa-
thers was at the rate of thirty-five per 1,000 In
Ib91. It is estimated that of the soldiers who
served the country during the late war 1,004,-
658 were killed in battle or died during and
since the war. On June 30 last 124,750 of these
deceased soldiers were represented on the
pension rolls by their widows or other de-
pendents.
There are about 1,208,707 soldiers of the
union now living, and of the survivors 520,158
are now on the pension rolls. There are,
therefore, 688,549 survivors who are not pen
sioned and 879,908 deceased soldiers not repre
sented on the pension rolls. The commis-
sioner renews his recommendation of last
year as to the readjustment of the pension
ratings under the act of March 3, 1883, and
March 4, 1890.

THE CHILEAN WAR.
Of these schools the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs says: "The policy of aiding church
schools is one that has grown up as a matter
of administration, having only a semblance of
legislative authority. But the rapid develop-
ment of the public-school system has brought
the government schools into a position where
it is entirely feasible for them at an early day
to assume the whole charge of Indian educa-
tion, so far as it is carried on by the govern-
ment. I can not refrain from the expression
of the earnest conviction that it is contrary to
the letter and the spirit of the Constitution of
the United States and utterly repugnant to our
American institutions and our American his-
tory to take from the public money funds for
the support of sectarian institutions. I believe
that the government ought to assume, abso-
lutely and completely, the control of Indian
education, and that these wards should be
trained in the government institutions with
the specific end of fitting them for American
citizenship, and that no moneys from the pub-
lic treasury should be devoted to sectarian or
church institutions. If churches desire to
maintain mission schools among the Indians,
they should do so as missionary work and sup-
port them out of missionary funds
There is a rapidly growing public opinion,
shared by those who have heretofore received
from the government large sums of money for
church schools, that the time is near at hand
when the mixed system should be done away
with. There should be no violent or sudden
change, no action that can be construed as
partial or unjust, but a gradual extension of
the national system until it embraces the
entire work. Meantime, the purpose of the
office is to maintain practically the status quo,
making no changes except such as are ren-
dered necessary by circumstances. In thus
expressing my own personal convictions on
this important question I believe I am giv-
ing expression to the American idea of the
entire separation of church and state."
REDUCTION OF INDIAN RESERVATIONS,
The work of reducing the area of the reser-
vations, by extinguishing by purchase from
the Indians their title to the land and its
restoration to the public domain, has been
carried forward rapidly, as is shown in the
following detailed statements:
Counting the 22 small reserves of the Mission
Indians of California as only one reserve, and
the 19 Pueblo reserves of New Mexico as one
also, the number of reservations as given in
the annual report of this office for 1890 was 138,
having an aggregate area of about 104,314,349
acres, or 162,991 square miles. This amount is
about 12,07l.3sO acres, or 18.861 square miles,
less than the amount reported in 1889, while at
the present time there are five more reserva-
tions than in 1889. owing to the division of the
Great Sioux Reservation, as provided by act
of March 2, 1889.
The agreements ratified by act of congress
approved February 13, 1891, restored to the
public domain 391,184.66 acres from the Sac
and Fox Reservations, in Oklahoma, including
25,194.61 acres for school purposes; and from
the Iowa Reservation, in the same territory,
219.44(5.27 acres, including 12.271.75 acres for
school purposes. The ratification of agree-
ments by the act of March 3, 1891, restored to
the public domain from the Pottawatomie
Reservation, Oklahoma, 309.134.77 acres, includ-
ing 22,650.44 for school purposes; from the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe Reservation, Okla-
homa, about 3,000.000 acres; from the Cffiur
d'Alene Reservation, Idaho, about 185,000
acres; from the Fort Berthold Reservation,
North Dakota, about 1,600,000 acres; from the
Lake Traverse Reservation. South Dakota,
about 660,000 acres, and from the Crow Reserv-
ation. Montana, about 1,800,000 acres; a total of
about 8,164,765 acres.
THE CHILEAN WAR.
It may be too soon to say which of the con-
tending parties in the Chilean civil war were
in the rignt, although it may be easy to trace
the causes that led up to that contest.
The government of Chile is republican, not
very unlike our own. It is based upon a con-
stitution which prescribes the duties and
powers of the president and the congress.
The late war grew out of a dispute between
the president and congress as to the interpre-
tation of the constitution.
Article 50 of the constitution of Chile de-
clares that the president of the republic shall
hold the administration of the state and be
supreme chief of the nation, and the follow-
ing extract from article 71 is much to the same
purport- "To the president of the republic is
confided the administration and the govern-
ment of the state, and his authority extends
to everything having for its object the pres-
ervation of public order at home and the se-
curity of the republic abroad, he observing
and exacting observance of the constitution
and the laws."
This constitution clearly Intrusts the chief
magistrate with powers unheard of in any-
parliamentary governments outside Spanish
America, and it is hard to see just where Bal-
maceda exceeded his authority, or until the
trouble had culminated in war at any rate.
He clearly had the right to select his own
ministers and of appointing to all offices in
the executive departments, and this right had
never before been questioned, but bad always
been exercised by his predecessors. The con
stitutioo of Chile was adopted May 25. 183:?,
and the sovereignty is by it declared to reside
with the people; but during the sixty years of
her existence as a constitutionally governed
nation the fact has been far otherwise, for
the destinies of the country have been for all
this time practically in the hands of an oli-
garchy composed of the leading territorial
families, back of whom again were the clergy,
who have had more than a little to do with
the direction of Chilean affairs.
As was natural, the minority was dissatis-
fied with this state of affairs, and a small po-
litical party existed which opposed the polit-
ical order of things in Chile. The war with
Peru greatly strengthened the minority and
gave to Chile a patriotic sentiment and na-
tional pride which it had never before pos-
sessed. To this growing democratic senti-
ment the hitherto feeble liberals addressed
themselves, and with such success that at the
presidential election in September, 1886, Jose
Manuel Balmaceda, a great liberal leader, and
a man of the people, was elected to the presi-
dency, and with this election the contest be-
gan which ended finally in the war which has
raged throughout the entire summer.
Quarrels soon started between the presi-
dent and legislative bodies, growing more and
more serious as time went on. until a com-
plete deadlock was established between them
and the situation became very much like that
in England when King Charles and the long
60
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOB 1892.
parliament were at loggerheads, although
President Balmaceda seems to have kept
within the written limits at least of his pre-
rogative, while the British monarch went far
beyond his.
The legislative branch of the government
concluded that the only way to force the
president to recede from the position he had
taken was to withhold supplies, salaries and
the like. It also refused to pass the law
"fixing the forces by land and sea" which is
passed annually, and did other extreme acts,
to meet which the president was forced to
equally extreme measures. As under the con-
stitution a president could not succeed him-
self, Balmaceda had selected Senor Santu-
entes to become the candidate of his party
for that office. Congress at once violently as-
sailed the president's choice, wno was also
secretary of the interior. At Balmaceda's
own request Senor Santuentes resigned both
his portfolio and his candidacy. The presi-
dent next proposed that a convention be
formed of members of all sections of the lib-
eral party in order to decide upon a generally
acceptable candidate, even allowing congress
to decide what fractional majority of the
whole number of votes should be necessary
to decide such candidature. Congress re-
jected this proposal after a single day's con-
sideration, and repeatedly refused to vote
supplies or to pass the military and marine
bill just referred to. Finally, in the early
days of December, congress threatened to
impeach the previous ministry, which, accord-
Ing to law, would debar the president from
dissolving or proroguing congress until such
ministers had either been acquitted or con-
victed, the intention evidently being to pro-
long Its own session. At this, and before the
threatened impeachment was formulated,
President Balmaceda abruptly dissolved con-
gress, when nothing was left save a resort to
arms, and both sides immediately commenced
active preparations for the strife. This was
the situation at the opening of last winter. A
large number of the officers of the navy sym-
pathized with the congressionalists. and the
great majority of pure whites and people of
unmixed Spanish blood also sided with them,
while Balmaceda's following was largely
among the more ignorant half-breeds or
Mestizos, though his officers, both civil and
military, were equal to those of his ene-
mies.
The independent or opposition members of
the senate and house or deputies met Jan. 1,
1891, and signed a solemn act declaring the
president no longer head of the state or pres-
ident of the republic, as he was unworthy of
his post and had violated the constitution.
This ocument, practically a declaration of
war, was taken on board the Chilean men-of-
war, and on Jan. 7 the navy steamed into Val-
paraiso bay and declared itself in support of
the legislative power in the name of the peo-
ple and in the name of the law and against
Balmaceda. It was expected the army would
f9llow the example of the navy, but this it
did not do; it remained loyal to the president.
The insurgents were composed of the aristo-
cratic families, supported by the Roman
Catholic Church and very many British resi-
dents. The great mass of the people and the
army adhered to Balmaceda. The insurgents
could establish no footing at Valparaiso or
Santiago, but they had the wisdom to go
north and seize the nitrate fields that Chile
had conquered from Peru, and they made
Iquique their base of operations. The product
of these nitrate fields kept them in funds to
carry on the war.
Chile being a country of only four or five
million people a narrow elongated strip of
seacoast the insurgents were fortunate in
holding most of the navy and in obtaining the
nitrate beds, which are the richest resources
in the country. There was during the season
hard fighting in the north, with the ad-
vantages generally on the side of the in-
surgents, who established themselves in
Iquique, Pisaqua and Antofagasta. Balma-
ceda had the larger army, but he lacked a
navy and funds to carry on the war.
Late in August the insurgents decided to
push the war to a close. They knew that the
president was expecting two iron-clad war
vessels from Europe, which would enable him
to contend with them on more equal terms.
An attempt was made to force a decisive bat-
tle before their arrival. Valparaiso was in-
vulnerable against a naval attack. On the
21st of August the insurgents landed every
available man they had at Concon, about ten
miles north of Valparaiso, where they at-
tacked the president's forces the day follow-
ing. The battle was a fierce one, there being
about twenty thousand men on each side en-
gaged, and the president was defeated. He
rallied his shattered forces under cover of the
forts and made his last stand at Placillo on
the 28th. The carnage was frightful, owing to
the effective rifles of the insurgents. Balma-
ceda lost both his generals. He was forced to
retreat and his defeat was complete. Valpa-
raiso was taken, Santiago soon capitulated,
and Balmaceda was a helpless fugitive. He
remained in hiding at the embassy of the
Argentine Republic until the morning of
Sept. 19, when he commited suicide in the
building of the Argentine legation. From the
fact that neither faction acted under the
forms of law, it is not worth while to pass
judgment upon the merits of the controversy.
That the opposition drove Balmaceda to the
most high-handed and unconstitutional meas-
ures is obvious, but constitutions are made
for times of peace, as we found in our last
war. Until he was so violently opposed his
reforms were of the most salutary and sweep-
ing character, but for his later acts of tyranny
there is no apology. The Spanish and Indian
blood in his veins was not conducive to the
calmness of the Anglo-Saxon.
THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
The idea of joining the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans by a canal through the intermediary
basin of Lake Nicaragua originated with An-
tonio Galvano in 1550. But as the commerce
of the world did not require such a work it
was chiefly of interest to engineers and navi-
gators. The discovery of gold in California
in 1848 made a new and quicker route from
the east to the west an imperative necessity,
and the various routes across the country be-
tween Mexico and South America became
the subjects of much interest and discussion.
The completion of the Panama railroad in
1865 increased rather than supplied the neces-
sity for a more comprehensive mode of inter-
oceanic transportation and several expedi-
tions went out to look for the most desirable
and feasible route between the two oceans.
In 1872-3, 1876-7 and 1885 expeditions for the
exploration, and location of routes were dis-
patched to Nicaragua by the United States
government. Some of these surveys occu-
pied the period of years and by that in 1872-3
eight different routes were examined. The
deliberate and final determination of the gov-
ernment in favor of the Nicaragua route
dates from 1876. Private individuals had. be-
fore this decision of the government, adopted
AUSTRALIAN CONFEDERATION,
61
the same route and had undertaken the
construction of a ship canal. The first con-
cession to build such a canal along the route
now proposed was granted by the govern-
ment of Nicaragua in 1849 to the Atlantic and
Pacific Ship Canal company. This company did
nothing, and was succeeded by the Central
American Transit Company which is still in
existence, and claims certain rights and privi-
leges from the company now engaged in con-
structing the work. These claims have been
denied both by the Nlcaraguan government,
and our own. A treaty to permit the con-
struction of a canal across Nicaragua was
signed between the United States arc. the re-
public of Nicaragua Dec. 1, 1884, bu* it was not
ratified within the stipulated period of two
years. The American Atlantic and Pacific Ship
Canal company was organized in 1886 and ob-
tained the exclusive right to build, own and
manage a canal across Nicaragua for eighty-
five years from its completion but as nothing
was done, the government of Nicaragua de-
clared its charter invalid in 1887. In March
1887 a contract was signed with Nicaragua se-
curing to a New York association exclusive
right of way through the territory of the re-
public for the construction of a ship-canal
between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The
route chosen had been surveyed several
times and had been approved as the most
practical route for such a canal through the
isthmus by a government commission con-
sisting of the chief engineers of the army,
the chief of the bureau of navigation and
the superintendent of the coast survey.
The New York association became the Mar-
itime Canal Company of Nicaragua which
had been chartered by the state of Vermont,
and incorporated by congress in February
1889. The company engaged to build the
canal to completion before 1900. Work was
begun at once, and in its first year the com-
pany expended more than $3,000,000. The
route of the canal is 1(39.8 miles in length but
only 28.9 miles can really be called a canal. It
begins at Greytown, on the eastern side, fol-
lows the course of the San Juan river above
Ochoa through Lake Nicaragua, a distance of
129 miles, and thence to the narbor of Brito,
the Pacific terminus. The surface of the
lake, 110 feet above the sea, is the summit
level. At the eastern end of the lake the
San Juan river will be backed up and kept at
the lake level by a dam for a distance of sixty-
four miles, thus forming an extension of the
lake which will have a width of 1000 feet and
a depth of from 28 to 130 feet. There are
ninety miles of lake navigation very wide
and deep. From the point where the canal
leaves the 'ake on the west to Brito, seven-
teen miles, there will be three locks. Over
this portion of the route some rock cutting,
and dredging will be required. The canal
itself is to be eighty feet wide at the bottom
in deep cuts, and 120 feet wide In the enlarged
sections. The estimated cost of the canal Is
$64,000,000 which includes also electric lighting
and railroads for transportation of canal sup-
plies, and the time for completion is fixed at
six years. It is estimated that at least 5,000,000
tons of shipping will be ready to seek transit
through the canal by 1902, with tolls at the rate
of $2.50 a ton a revenue of $12,500,000 would be
received. It is believed $500,000 a year will
cover ordinary operating expenses.
AUSTRALIAN CONFEDERATION.
Events leading up to it. Synopsis of the Constitutions as drawn.
The most important political event in the
world's history since the declaration of Inde-
pendence by the American colonies, is the
Australasian confederation which was ac-
complished in 1891. Unlike the American col-
onies which declared and achieved their inde-
pendence of the mother country by a long
and bloody war the colonies on the continent
of Australia will, by their confederation, ac-
quire their independence peaceably but no
less perfectly. It is the very generally ac-
cepted belief that confederation will sooner
or later result in a total separation of the
Australian colonies from the British empire.
As long ago as 1849 the British colonial office
made provision in one of its measures for the
possible creation of a general assembly for
two or more of the colonies in Australia. The
house of lords declined to accede to the pro-
posal and Lord Grey informed the colonies
that the government had abandoned this por-
tion of its measure because some of the col-
onies objected to it and New South Wales did
not care for it. The matter rested quiet until
1853 when Mr. Wentworth, premier for the
colony, in drawing up a new constitution for
New South Wales, suggested federation to
the extent of a power to legislate, by a gen-
eral assembly, on all subjects which might be
submitted to it by addresses from the coun-
cils or assemblies of other colonies. This
plan also provided for a federal revenue and
a general court of appeals. In 1857 Mr. Went-
worth went to London to advocate his scheme
which became the germ of the idea which
later took form in the federal council of Aus-
tralia. The idea of Mr. Wentworth was seized
upon by Sir Henry Parkes who carried it for-
ward to its fullest realization and who, more
than any other one man, is to be credited with
the confederation of Australia.
In 1881 a colonial conference assembled
which resulted in the act of parliament of
1883 by which a federal council for the Aus-
tralian colonies was established. New South
Wales however refused to join the council,
and it became inoperative from want of the
authority of that colony. In 1889 an officer
of the British army was detailed to make a
report upon the military forces of the Aus-
tralian colonies, and this report was made use
of by Sir Henry Parkes to further his plans
for confederation. Mr. Parkes, who was the
premier of New South Wales, went to Queens-
land where he had an interview with Sir Sam-
uel Griffith, and Sir Thomas Mcllwraith upon
the subject of confederation. Being assured
of the support of Queensland he consulted
with Victoria and the other colonies.
The result of these interviews was the con-
ference of 1890 which met at Melbourne in
February of that year. The conference was
attended by representatives from all the Aus-
tralian colonies and from New Zealand. The
delegates from New Zealand decided that they
could not come into the confederation. An
effort was made to induce New Zealand and
Fiji to become parts of the confederation, but
failed. Federation resolutions, for appoint-
ing delegates to a conference to be held in
Sydney in 1891, were passed by all the Austra-
lian parliaments in 1890, and March of the
present year the conference began its work.
When the conference met Mr. Parkes of
New South Wales was made its president, and
conducted its deliberations with the most
consummate skil 1 and ability. There were very
many and diverse interests to harmonize, and
it is a marvel that a constitution could be
agreed upon. The conference closed its la-
bors on the 9th of April, having finished a
constitution in many respects like that of the
United States.
The salient points of the constitution are as
follows: The federation shall be known as
the Commonwealth of Australia, and the
132
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR
colonies be called states. The legislature is
to consist of a senate and a house of repre-
sentatives, to be called a parliament. The
governor-general will be appointed by the
queen, and receive a salary of not less than
10,000. The members of parliament before
taking seats are to make oath of or affirma-
tion of allegiance to the queen. The parlia-
ments are to be held as appointed by the gov-
ernor, but there is to be a session of parlia-
ment at least once every year, so that twelve
months shall not intervene between two sit-
tings of parliament. The senate is to be com-
posed of eight members of each state, chosen
by the house of parliament of each state.
Senators will be chosen for six years, one-
half the members to retire every three years.
The president of the senate is to be chosen
by the senate. He is to be in all cases entitled
to a vote, and when voting is equal the ques-
tion is to pass in the negative. The house of
representatives will be chosen by the people
of the several states in proportion to their
numbers, each state to have one representa-
tive for every 30,000 people; but the minimum
number of representatives for each state will
be four. The speaker is to be elected by the
house of representatives, and when the votes
are equal, but not otherwise, the speaker is
to have a casting vote. The life of the house
of representatives is to be three years. Par-
liament must be called together not later
than thirty days after the dav appointed for
return of writs for a general election. Mem-
bers of both houses are to receive an allow-
ance of 500 ($2,500) per annum, and the usual
penalty clauses are provided to meet cases
where a member is under disabiliity to sit.
No member of the house of representatives
is to hold any office of proflt under the crown,
but ministers are not to be compelled to offer
themselves for re-election.
The powers of parliament as to the making
of laws include the regulation of coinage,
trade and commerce, and are in general the
same as delegated to congress by the consti-
tution of the United States, Appropriation
or tax bills must be sent down by message
from the governor. The governor-general is
to assent to all measures, and have the power
of reserving any bill for the queen's approval.
The queen, in council, may disallow any bill
within two years alter its receipt.
The executive power of the commonwealth
is to be vested in the queen, and exercised by
the governor-general as the queen's represen-
tative. The governor is to be advised by an
executive council, consisting of a ministry
whose number is not to exceed seven. The
ministers are to be members of the federal
executive council and the queen's ministers
of state for the commonwealth. They may
sit in either house of parliament, and 15,000
per annum is set apart for the payment
of their salaries until other provision is
made.
The supreme court is to consist of a chief
justice and not less than four other justices,
to be appointed by parliament and hold office
during good behavior.
As soon as a uniform tariff has been im-
posed, inter-colonial free trade is to prevail
between all colonies. The revenue collected
is to be applied in defraying the expenses of
the federal government, after which parlia-
ment is to decide the manner in which the
surplus is to be divided. Parliament may
make provision for the consolidating of the
whole or any part of the debts of the states.
The states are to retain all powers which they
at present possess, with the exception of
those expressly delegated to the federal par-
liament.
The constitution is to be submitted to the
colonies, and must then receive the sanction
of the British parliament.

NEW WEATHER SIGNALS.
NEW WEATHER SIGNALS,
WHITE
WHITS
The department of agriculture has issued a
new code of weather signals by which it is de-
signed to give wider currency to the weather
reports of the signal service. The flags or
signals are made of tin, painted white, blue
or black, and their size, shape and color, with
the code of signals, will be as follows:
No. 1-White flag, six feet square, will indi-
cate clear or fair weather.
No. 2 Blue flag, six feet square, will indi-
cate rain or snow.
No. 3 White and blue flag, six feet square,
will indicate that local rains or showers will
occur, and that the rainfall will not be general.
JVc. 4 Black, triangular flag, four feet at the
base and six feet long, always refers to tem-
perature. When placed above flags 1, 2 or 3 it
will indicate warmer weather. When placed
below the numbers it will indicate colder
weather. When it is not displayed the indica-
tions are that the temperature will remain sta-
tionary, or that the change in temperature
will not vary more than 4 degress from the
temperature of the same hour of the preced-
ing day from March to October, inclusive, and
not more than 6 degrees for the remaining
months of the year.
No. 5 White flag, six feet square, with black
square in center, will indicate the approach
of a sudden and decided fall in temperature.
This signal will not be displayed unless it is
expected that the temperature will fall to 42
degrees or lower, and will be ordered dis-
played at least twenty-four hours in advance
of the cold wave. When No. 5 is displayed
No. 4 is always omitted.
When displayed on poles the signals will be
arranged to read downward; when displayed
on horizontal supports a small streamer will
be attached to indicate the point from which
the signals are to be read.
No. 1, alone Fair weather, stationary tem-
perature.
No. 2. alone Rain or snow, stationary tem-
perature.
No. 3, alone Local rain, stationary temper-
ature.
No. 1, 'With No. 4 above it-Fair weather,
warmer.
No. 1, with No. 4 belmv it Fair weather,
colder.
No. 2, ivith No. 4 above ^"Warmer weather,
rain or snow.
N>>. 2, with No. 4 below it Colder weather,
rain or snow.
No. 3, with No. 4 above it Warmer weather,
local rains.
No. 3, with No. 4 below it Colder weather,
local rains.
No. 1, with No. 5 above it Fair weather, cold
wave.
A WATERPROOF blacking which will give a
fine polish without rubbing, and will not Injure
the leather: 18 parts beeswax, 6 parts sperma-
ceti, Cfi parts oil of turpentine. 5 parts asphalt
varnish, 1 part powdered borax, 5 parts Frank-
fort black, 2 parts Prussian blue. 1 part nitro-
benzol. Melt the wax, add the powdered
No. 2, with No. 5 above it Wet weather, cold
wave.
The department will also make arrange-
ments to nave the flags displayed on railroad
cars. The starting points of the trains on all
the railroads will be supplied every morning
with the forecast, and one man on each train
will be assigned to the duty of displaying the
flags. When the public has made itself fa-
miliar with the code every person can ascer-
tain the forecast by looking at any passing
train.
A plan has also been devised to have loco-
motives and factories whistle the forecast for
the information of farmers who live too far
away to see the flags.
Notification will be given in every town and
village where there is a steam whistle that at a
certain hour every day the whistle will sound
the signal to indicate the probable weather
for the ensuing twenty-four hours. Factories
will receive the forecast by telegraph and lo-
comotive engineers will receive it at their
starting point.
The warning signal to attract attention will
be what is called the long blast, lasting twenty
seconds. After this signal has been sounded,
blasts of from four to six seconds duration
will refer to the weather; short blasts of three
seconds each will refer to the temperature,
those for the weather to be sounded first, like
this:
One long blast indicates fair weather; two
long blasts, rain or snow: three long blasts,
local rains; one short blast, lower tempera-
ture; two short blasts, higher temperature;
three short blasts, cold wave.
One long, alone, Fair weather, stationary
temperature.
Two long, alone Rain or snow, stationary
temperature.
One long and one short Fair weather, lower
temperature.
Two long and two short Rain or snow,
higher temperature.
One long and three short Fair weather, cold
wave.
Three long and two short Local rains, higher
temperature.
Each combination will be repeated a few
times, with an interval of ten seconds be-
tween. This will avoid the possibility of any
error in ascertaining the forecast.
Some difficulty may arise with regard to the
locomotive whistles. Engineers have to give
railroad signals, and the public mind may be-
come confused by the two, but it is thought
this difficulty can be overcome.
It is expected to have the system in full
operation before 1892.
borax, and stir until a kind of jelly has been
formed. In another pan melt the spermaceti,
add the asphalt varnish, previously mixed
with the oil of turpentine, stir well, and add
to the wax. Lastly add the color, pre-
viously rubbed smooth with a little of the
mass. The nitro-benzol gives fragrance.

POPULATION OF ILLINOIS.
POPULATION OF ILLINOIS, 1890-1880.
The following table gives the population of
the state of Illinois In detail by counties,
townships or precincts, cities, wards of cities,
towns and villages, according to the official
count of the returns made under the eleventh
census (1890). The population of the same
divisions, according to the census of 1880, is
also given for purposes of comparison.
The population of the state In 1880 was 3,077,-
871. In 1890 the population returned was
3,826 t 351, an Increase of 748,480, or 24.32 per
cent. Of the 102 counties in the state, thirty
show slight decreases.
There has been a very large increase In
urban population in the state since the
enumeration in 1880. Under the tenth census
(1880) there were thirty-eight cities and towns
having a population of 4,000 or more, with an
aggregate population of 844,462. Under the
present census there are forty-seven cities,
towns and villages having a population of
4,000 or more, with an aggregate population of
1 ,604,943. Thus an Increase is shown in the ag-
gregate population in cities of this size of
760,481, or 90.06 per cent. Of thes "
places two only show decreases.
The largest
increase numerically is found in Chicago,
which has increased 596,665, or 118.58 per cent
during the decade. Large increases are also
found in Pe.oria, Rockford, Joliet, Elgin, Au-
rora, Decatur and Streator. The largest pe -
ventages of increase are found In Austin, Oak
Park, Streator, Chicago, Elgin, Joliet, Rock-
ford and Decatur. Population of Illinois
cities will be found on page 87
Changes have been made in the official
Igures for Bloomington and Jacksonville, it
having been discovered in the more recent
critical examination of the returns that parts
af enumeration districts should be included
which had been wrongly returned, and conse-
quently not included in the population of
those places.
The table also shows the population of each
jounty in detail by minor civil divisions, in-
cluding all incorporated places and places not
ncorporated having a population of 500 or
nore, so far as it has been possible to make
;he separation from the returns of the enu-
merators:

OUR CENTER OF POPULATION.
It appears from a bulletin issued by the
United States census office that this point was
situated June 1, 1890, in 39 degrees 11 minutes
and 56 seconds north latitude and 85 degrees
32 minutes 53 seconds west longitude, a point
twenty miles east of Columbus, Ind. In the
ten years preceding, it moved forty-eight miles
west and nine miles north. From the begin-
ning in 1790, this point has clung close to the
parallel of 39 degrees, the greatest variation
being less than 19 minutes. The movement
west in each decade has been as follows.

THE NATIONAL LEAGUE FOR THE PROTECTION OF AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS.
President John Jay.
Willi
H. Parsons.
Vice-Presidents William Strong, William
Gene al ecretary James M. King.

Law Committee William Allen Butler, Dor-
man B. Eaton, Cephas Brainerd, Henry E.
Howland and Stephen A. Walker.
Offices 140 Nassau street, New York.
The league, which is entirely non-partisan
and unsectarian, was incorporated Dec. 24,
"~ under an act of the New York legislature.
Its objects are "to secure constitutional and
legislative safeguards for the protection of
the common school system and other Ameri-
can institutions, and to promote public in-
struction in harmony with such institutions,
and to prevent all sectarian or denomina-
tional appropriations of public funds." As an
Important step to this end, the league pro-
poses to secure the passage of the following
amendment to the constitution of the United
States: "No state shall pass any law respect-
ing an establishment of religion or prohibit-
ing the free exercise thereof, or use its prop-
erty or credit, or any money raised by taxa-
tion, or authorize either to be used for the
purpose of founding, maintaining or aiding
by appropriation payment for services, ex-
penses or otherwise, any church, religious de-
nomination or religious society, or any in-ti-
tution, society or undertaking which is wholly
or in part under sectarian or ecclesiastical
control."
It will also endeavor to secure similar
amendments to the state constitutions.
The league has been in active operation
since May, 1890, and already has many thou-
sands of adherents distributed throughout
every state and territory. Many religious and
patriotic organizations have formally ap-
proved its principles.
Auxiliary leagues are being organized and
local secretaries appointed in all the states,
and correspondence and co-operation is in-
vite 1 from thoughtful citizens throughout the
country.
