PREFACE.
The year 1892 marks an epoch in the political history of the United
States, the elections of the year showing a wider and more radical change in
the political sentiment of this country than any preceding one. The election
tables of the Almanac for 1893, covering more than 100 pages, give the vote
in every county (state and territorial), showing exactly where the change of
political opinion has been most pronounced. The table of exports and
imports by articles for two years enables one to see at a glance the effect of
the new tariff legislation on our trade and commerce. A brief history is
given of all the presidential nominating conventions and caucuses since
Washington. Details of the settlement of our difficulties with Chile and Italy,
the progress of the Bering sea dispute and our retaliation on Canada are full
of interest. Short sketches of men who became prominent last year and the
letters of acceptance from the four presidential candidates are new features in
this issue. The World's-Fair matter has been compiled with careful discrimi-
nation and will be found of general interest and value. A large assortment
of census and other statistics bearing on Indian schools, silver, gold, pen-
sions, education, churches, government receipts and expenditures, the liquor
traffic, banks, the currency and a great variety of other subjects of value to
every intelligent citizen, are to be found in the present volume.
THE DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1893 is replete with new and
fresh material. Its aim is to be fair, accurate and strictly non-partisan and
no pains or expense have been spared to maintain the high reputation it has
already made for completeness and trustworthiness.

NATIONAL NOMINAl
Synopsis of all presidential nomic
It is not necessary to go very lar back In our
history to find the origin of our nominating
conventions. The constitution of the United
States provided only for the election of the
president and vice-president, and the idea
was that electors should be chosen by the
people of the states, who would not only name
the candidate but elect him to his high office.
In the choice of our first president this idea
was for the first and only time carried out,
and without being nominated Washington
was chosen president by the first electoral
college of tha country. The number of elect-
oral votes cast in 1789 was 69, all of which
were cast for Washington. John Adams

received the next highest number, 34, and
was declared vice-president. During the next
four years the number of electoral votes in-
creased very largely, being 132 at the second
presidential election. All of these were cast
for Washington, while John Adams received
77 votes for the vice-presidency. The retire-
ment of Washington in 17911-7 opened the doors
for a host of presidential candidates, there
being no other man whom the people could
unite on with so much unanimity. Upon open-
ing the returns for the election of Washing-
ton's successor for the term beginning March
4, 1797, there were found to be no less than thir-
teen distinguished names among those voted
40

for for the presidential office. These were
John Adams, Jefferson, Thomas Pinckney,
Burr, Samuel Adama, Ellsworth, Jay, Clinton,
Johnstoue, Iredell, Henry, C. C. Pinckney
and Washington. At this election the number
of electoral votes had increased to 139, of
which John Adams received 71 and Thomas
Jefferson the next highest number, 68.
1800.
The era of "republican simplicity" was now
passing away. The gratitude that impelled
the unanimous election of Washington was
felt in regard to no other man, and the ac-
knowledged leadership which put forward
Adams and Jefferson as the two candidates In
the third general election was no longer rec-
ognized. Hence the date 1800 became an era
in our political history, as It was the time of
the institution of the nominating caucus.
This congressional caucus, which enjoys the
honor of being the first, was held In Phila-
delphia during the year, and after a good deal
of discussion resulted in the nomination of
Jefferson for president and Burr for vice-
president. The presidential contest this year
was between these two on one side and Adams
and Pinckney on the other. The electoral vote
was 138, and stood 73 each for Jefferson and
Burr, 65 for Adams, 64 for Ptnckney, and 1 f or
John Jay No choice was made and the elec-
tion went to the house of representatives,
which, after balloting thirty-six times, during
six days, resulted in the election of Jefferson
and Burr. In 1804 the contest lay between
Jefferson and Pinckney for president and
Clinton and King, both of New York, for vice-
president. Though there must have been a
caucus nomination there is no record of such
an event. The electoral vote was 176, of
which Jefferson and King received 162 and
Pinckney and Clinton 14.
1808.
Toward the close of Jefferson's administra-
tion the legislature of Virginia fell into dis-
cord in regard to the respective claims of
Madison and Monrpe for the next presidential
term and a republican congressional caucus
was held in Washington in January, 1808, to
decide which should be nominated. There
were 136 republican members of congress, of
whom 94 attended the caucus and agreed to
nominate Madison. No record exists of the
manner in which the opposition made their
nominations, but the opposing candidate was
Pinckney. The electoral vote was 175, of
which Madison received 122, Pinckney 47, and
linton 6. The latter for vice-president re-
ceived 113 ballots, the scattering votes being
divided among a number of rival aspirants.
1812.
In May, 1812, a congressional caucus nomi-
nated Madison for a second term. This year
however, memorable for the first feeble atr
tempt at a nominating convention. The op-
position had been growing in strength and
called a convention to meet in New York in
September, 1812. Eleven states were repre-
sented at this first convention, and DeWitt
linton of New York was placed in nomina-
tion, a movement which received the warm-
st support from the legislature of that state.
The records do not show that any candidate
for vice-president was nominated at this con-
vention. The election resulted in the choice
of Madison. The electoral vote numbered 217,
of which Madison, for president, received 128
and Clinton 89, while for vice-president Gerry
received 131 and Ingersoll 86. Madison en-
tered upon his second term March 4, 1813, but
there is no record of his having taken the oath
of office.
1816.
In 1816, just before the close of Madison's
second term, the republican congressional
caucus again met and nominated James Mon-
roe for president. There were 119 votes in the
caucus, of which Monroe received 65 and
Crawford of Georgia 54. The opposition fed-
eralists were considerably disorganized at this
time, since no record exists of any nomina-
tion, though their ticket was represented by
Rufus King of New York. It hardly seems
possible for a convention to have been held of
which no records remain, and the more rea-
sonable supposition is that King presented
himself as a candidate at the request of his
friends. His efforts were in vain, for he was
badly beaten. The number of electoral votes
cast at the election was 217, of which Monroe
received 183 and King 34. The contest for vice-
president was more lively, as five candidates
contested the election. Harper received 4
votes, Ross 5, Marshall 4, Howard 22 and
Tompkins 183.
1820.
In 1820 the federalists were so much scat-
tered and so unable to rally their forces that
in effect no opposition was made to the nomi-
nation or election of Monroe to his second
term. The electoral vote numbered 235, of
which Monroe received 231 and John Quincy
Adams received 1. As before, five men en-
tered the lists for the vice-presidency. Harper
and Rush each received 1 vote, Rodney 4,
Stockton 8, and Tompkins 218.
1824.
In 1824 the caucus feature began to be very
displeasing to the republicans in general and
great numbers of them gave previous notice
that they would not be governed by the dic-
tates of the caucus. There were at this time
216 members of congress who were counted as
republicans, yet the caucus which nominated
Crawford was composed of only sixty-six
members, and in consequence of the slim at-
tendance and the non-concurrence of the party
the nomination of Crawford was very gener-
ally repudiated by the republicans. Three
other candidates were brought into the field
by legislative and popular nominations An-
drew Jackson, John Q. Adams and Henry Clay
while six nominations for the vice-presi-
dency were made. The number of electoral
votes in the contest of 1824 was 261, of which
Jackson received 99, Adams 84, Crawford 41,
and Clay 37. For vice-president Calhoun re-
ceived 182 votes, Sandford 3'J, Macon 24, Jack-
son 81, Clay 9, and Van Buren 2. No election
having been made, the contest went to the
house of representatives and Adams was
elected by the vote of thirteen states. This
"scrub race," as it was called, put an end to
the caucus system.
1828.
As soon as the contest of 1824 was decided
the legislature of Tennessee announced Jack-
son as a candidate for the next term. He was
opposed by Adams, but no record exists as to
the manner of the latter's nomination. Cal-
houn, Rush and Smith were candidates for the
vice-presidency, but how they were desig-
nated as such is not known. The contest was
a spirited one, and resulted in Jackson's elec-
tion by a large majority. There were 261 elect-
oral votes, or which Jackson received 178 and
Adams 83. For vice-president Calhoun re-
ceived 171, Rush 83, and Smith 7.
1832.
We now come to what may properly be re-
garded as the convention period of American
politics, which has continued down to the
NATIONAL NOMINATING CONVENTIONS.
present time. The first regular national
nominating convention of which any record
can be found met in Philadelphia in Septem-
ber, 1830. It was called the United States
anti-masonic convention, and was composed
of ninety-six delegates, \vho represented New
York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont,
Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Delaware, Ohio, Maryland, and Michigan terri-
tory. Francis Granger of New York was
president, but no business was transacted
except to issue a call for another convention
of persons opposed to secret societies, to be
held at Baltimore. In compliance with this
call the national anti-masonic convention
assembled at Baltimore Sept. 26, 1831. There
were 112 delegates present, every state being
represented, but only New York, Massachu-
setts and Pennsylvania had the full number
of delegates allowed. This movement had its
origin in the excitement caused by the alleged
killing of Morgan for disclosing the secrets of
freemasonry. John C. Spencer of New York
was chosen president. The convention nomi-
nated William Wirt of Maryland for presi-
dent, and Amos Bllmaker of Pennsylvania
for vice-president.
In May, 1832, the first national democratic
convention was held in Baltimore. The party
was entirely satisfied with Jackson, and there
could be no organized opposition to his re-
nomination, and so it was unanimously con-
firmed by the convention. The real purpose
of the convention was the nomination of a
vice-presidential candidate, the party having
fallen out with Calhoun. At this convention
Gen. Robert Lucas of Ohio presided, and the
regular proceedings began with the adoption
of the famous two-thirds rule, which has been
affirmed in every national democratic conven
tion from that day to this. Delegates to the
number of 313 were present. Martin Van
Buren was nominated for vice-president, re-
ceiving 203 votes.
The republicans recognized the fact that
conventions were to be the popular means for
nomination of candidates, and accordingly
met in convention at Baltimore Dec. 12, 1831.
James Barbour was chosen president. There
were 157 delegates present, representing
seventeen states and the District of Columbia.
No formal declaration of principles was made,
but an address was published dealing with
the shortcomings of Gen. Jackson, in which
he and his administration were severely criti-
cised. The unanimous vote of the convention
was cast for Henry Clay as the candidate for
the presidency, and for John Sergeant for
vice-president. The address of the conven-
tion recommended another convention of
"young men of the republican party," and in
pursuance thereof a convention was held May
11, 1832, in Washington. William C. Johnson
was chairman, but as the nominations of the
party had been made the preceding autumn
nothing was left for the convention to do ex-
cept to pass resolutions, which it did, in favor
of industrial protection and internal improve-
ments, and against the rotation in office prin-
ciple lately promulgated by Jackson.
In the contest of 1832 there were twenty
other candidates who ran without having
regular party nominations. In the election
the electoral votes numbered 288; for presi-
dent Wirt received 7, Floyd 11, Henry Clay
49, and Jackson 219. For vice-president
Ellmaker received 7 votes. Lee 11, Wilkins
30, Sergeant 49, and Van Buren 189.
1836.
The years 1835 and 1836 saw the convention
system fairly under way. There were two
nominating conventions held. The demo-
cratic national convention assembled in
Baltimore in May, with representatives from
twenty-one states. Andrew Stevenson pre-
sided and for the first time there was a long
list of honorary vice-presidents. Only one
ballot for the presidential nomination was
taken, which resulted in the unanimous choice
of Martin Van Buren. The ballot for vice-
president resulted in 87 votes for Rives and
178 for R. M. Johnson. No platform was
adopted by the convention.
A whig state convention held in Harrisburg,
Pa., in the latter part of 1835, by acclamaticn
nominated William Henry Harrison and
Francis Granger for the national ticket, and a
democratic anti-masonic convention held
soon after in the same city ratified the nom-
ination of Harrison, but substituted John
Tyler in place of Granger for the vice-presi-
dency. A number of other nominations were
made by state legislatures and other bodies,
whose records have been lost. There were in
all five candidates for president and in the
election Mangum received 11 votes, Webster
14, White 26, Harrison 73, and Van Buren 176.
For vice-president there were four candidates.
Smith received 23 votes, Taylor 47, Granger
77, and Johnson 147.
1840.
The years 1839 and 1840 saw three conven-
tions, the first of which was also the first
abolition convention ever held in the United
States. Its session began at Warsaw, N. Y.,
Nov. 13, 1839, and lasted several days. Distinct
abolition principles were announced in its
platform and James G. Birney was nominated
for president, Francis J. LeMoyne for vice-
president. Although these candidates de-
clined the nominations, they received 7,609
votes in the northern states.
The whig national conven tion met at Harris-
burg, Pa., Dec. 4, 1839. Twenty-one states were
represented by 254 delegates, and James
Barbour presided. Balloting was carried on
in the committee of the whole for several
days, but no result was reached until the Scott
delegates went over to Harrison. The first
ballot in the convention resulted in 16 votes
for Winfield Scott, 90 for Henry Clay, and 148
for William Henry Harrison. There was no
contest over the vice-presidency, John Tyler
being the unanimous choice of the conven-
tion.
The national democratic convention assem-
bled at Baltimore June 5, 1840. Delegates from
twenty-one states were present and William
Carroll presided. Van Buren was unani-
mously nominated for president, but when the
question of vice-president arose the dissen-
sion was so serious that no choice was made,
but the designation of a candidate was left
to the people. In this election the number of
electoral votes was 294, of which Van Buren
received 60 and Harrison 234. There were four
candidates for vice-president. Polk received
1 vote, Tazewell 11, Johnson 48, and Tyler
234.
1844.
The canvass of 1844 was preceded by three
national conventions. The liberal party na-
tional convention began at Buffalo, N. Y.,
Aug. 30, 1843. It was virtually the abolition
party under a new name and adopted an ex-
tended declaration of belief embodying the
i principles of abolitionism afterward openly
expressed by the republican party. Leicester
King presided, and the nominees were James
G. Birney for president and Thomas Morris
for vice-president.
The whig national convention assembled in
Baltimore May 1, 1844, and was composed of
delegates from every state in the union. Am-
| brose Spencer was president and Henry Clay
was nominated for president without a dis-
1 senting voice. The choice of a vice-president

was more difficult and three ballots were
taken before a choice was made. On the last
jallot Frelinghuysen received 155 votes, Davis
I. and Fillmore 40.
The democratic national convention met in
Baltimore May 27, 1844. The two-thirds rule
was responsible for the convention being a
hot one. Nine ballots were taken, there De-
ng f onr candidates on the first. Of the votes
cast Van Buren received 146, Cass 93, Johnson
29, and Buchanan 4. There was not much
change in the balloting until the eighth, when
Van Buren received 104. Cass 114, Buchanan
2, Calhoun 2, and Polk 44. This was the first
ballot in which Folk's name was mentioned.
On the ninth ballot Polk received 233 votes,
Van Buren 2, and Cass 29. Silas Wright was
nominated for vice-president, but he declined
and George M. Dallas was substituted. The
result was the election of Polk, he receiving
170 electoral votes and Clay 105.
1848.
Three conventions preceded the contest of
this year. The democratic convention was
beld in Baltimore May 27, 1848. There was
considerable trouble at the outset with the
credentials of the delegates who claimed
recognition. New York sent two delegations.
3ne commonly known as ''barnburners" and
the other as "hunkers." The convention
sought to please all by admitting both, but
neither delegation was satisfied unless the
others were excluded, and accordingly both
withdrew. Andrew Stevenson presided. Four
ballots were taken, the candidates being Cass,
Woodbury, Buchanan, Calhoun, Dallas, |
Worth and Butler. Cass began with 125 votes
on the first ballot and ran up to 179 on the !
fourth, and was nominated. Three ballots
ere taken for vice-president, on the first of
which William O. Butler received 114 and
Jefferson Davis 1, the remainder being scat-
tered among several candidates. Butler
gained on the second and was nominated on
the third ballot. The "barnburners," who
bolted the convention, were so incensed at the
nomination of Cass and Butler that they
called a convention at Utica.N. Y., June 22.
Samuel Young presided, and Van Buren was
made the nominee for president and Henry
Dodge for vice-president.
The whig national convention met in Phila-
delphia June 7, 1848. John M. Morehead pre-
sided. The candidates were Taylor, Clay,
Scott, Webster, Clayton and McLean, and
four ballots were taken. The number of votes
was 270, and on the last ballot Taylor, who
had started with 111, received 171, and was
declared the nominee. Fillmore was nomi-
nated on the second ballot for vice-president.
Aug. 9, 1848, a free-soil convention assem-
bled at Buffalo, having representatives from
eighteen states. Charles Francis Adams pre-
sided, and Van Buren and Adams were made
the nominees of the convention. In a long
platform the convention protested vigorously
against the action of the whig and democratic
conventions and demanded the freedom of
the slaves in the style used later by the aboli-
tionists. Nothing came of the movement and

The persistence of the solitary voter who
voted forty-eight times for Daniel S.Dickinson
and the introduction of Franklin Pierce's name
on the thirty-fifth ballot, which resulted in
nomination on the forty-ninth, has no paralle
in the history of American political conven
tions. William R. King was nominated on
the second ballot for vice-president.
The whigs met at Baltimore June 16 and an

opened in a spirited way. The democratic

Three days were spent In adopting a platform,
which was mainly a "know-nothing," anti-
administration declaration. A president was
nominated on the first ballot, which stood:
Fillmore 179, Law 24, Raynor 14, McLean 13,
Davis 10, and Houston 10. Andrew J. Donelson
was nominated for vice-president on the first
ballot.
The democrats met at Cincinnati June
2, John E. Ward presiding. Pro-slavery and
state-rights resolutions of the strongest
character were adopted and seventeen ballots
were taken before a nomination was made.
The candidates were Buchanan, Pierce, Cass
and Douglas. Buchanan began with 135
votes and gained steadily to 296, a unanimous
nomination. Pierce began with 122 and fell
off gradually until the last ballot. Douglas
began with 33 votes, rose to 121, and on the
last ballot had 3^ votes. The highest vote
received by Cass was 7. Ten candidates
sought the vice-presidential nomination, but
on the second ballot all withdrew except
Breckenridge, who was unanimously nom-
inated.
The first republican national convention
assembled in Philadelphia June 17, Henry S.
Lane of Indiana being chosen presiding
officer. The platform was decidedly anti-
slavery. An informal ballot for president was
taken to test the preferences of the delegates,
and showed 359 votes for John C. Fremont,
against 1% for McLean. The nomination of
Fremont was at once declared unanimous.
An informal ballot for vice-president was
taken, which resulted as follows: Henry C.
Carey received 3 votes, S. C. Pomeroy 8, John
A. King 9, Henry Wilson 9, A. C. M. Pennington
1, N. P. Banks 46, W. F. Johnston 2, J. R.
Giddings 2, Jacob Collamer 15, Cassius M.
Slay 4, Charles Sumner 35, Thomas Ford 7.
avid Wilmot 43, Abraham Lincoln 110, and
William L. Dayton 259. The latter was unani-
mously nominated, but this informal ballot
will always be memorable as showing the
popularity of Mr. Lincoln at this early day.
The whigs met at Baltimore Sept. 17,
Edward Bates presiding. The platform dep-
recated the reign of strong partisan feeling
and advocated peace and quiet. Fillmore
and Donelson were unanimously nominated,
but in the subsequent election carried only
Maryland.
Of the 296 electoral votes Buchanan and
Breckenridge received 174, Fremont and Day-
ton 114, and Fillmore and Donelson 8.
1860.
The year 1860 marks a new era in American
politics and the conventions of this year
show the great upheaval that had taken place
In the minds of the people. An account of
the conventions of this year is given more in
detail for this reason. The national demo-
cratic convention met at Charleston April 23.
Every state in the union was represented by
full delegations, but the party dissensions in
Illinois and New York caused the sending of
two delegations from each of these states,
^rancis B. Flournoy was chosen temporary
chairman. The exclusion of the "Wood 5 '
delegation from New York and the admission
of the Douglas delegation from Illinois In-
flamed the southern members of the conven-
tion at the very start and much angry debate
followed. Caleb Cushing was chosen perma-
nent chairman and a platform committee
was selected, it being insisted that a platform
was necessary before a candidate was nomi-
nated. The platform committee wrangled
four days and were unable to agree and ac-
cordingly four platforms were submitted to
the convention from which to select one. The
platform presented by the majority of the
committee declared "that congress had no
power to abolish slavery in the territories;
that the territorial legislature had no power
to abolish slavery in the territories, nor to
prohibit the introduction of slavery therein,
nor any power to destroy or impair the right
of property in slaves by any legislation what-
ever;" and "that it is the duty of the federal
government to protect the right of persons
and property on the high seas, in the terri-
tories or whereve/ else its jurisdiction ex-
tends." These ultra pro-slavery declarations
were dissented from by others of the com-
mittee who, headed by Henry B. Payne,
brought in a minority report, reaffirming the
Cincinnati platform of 1856, which advocated
the non-interference of congress with slavery
in the territories and declared that slavery
was a question of property as such should be
decided by the Supreme court and pledged
the democracy to abide by the decision of
that court. '1 his minority report was signed
by members of the committee from Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Illi-
nois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota,
New York and Pennsylvania. A third report
was presented by Gen. B. F. Butler, which in-
dorsed the Cincinnati platform with some
trivial alterations. A fourth report was pre-
sented by J. A. Bayard, which also affirmed
the Cincinnati platform with the proviso that
all citizens had equal rights in the territories.
These reports were all sent back to the com-
mittee and on the next day Mr. Avery
brought in a modified platform from the
majority. This asserted the rights of the
slave-holders in the territories and when a
sufficient number of inhabitants were in any
territory the same should be admitted as a
state without taking the slavery question
into consideration at all. The minority re-
port was brought in by Mr. Samuels of Iowa
and embodied the same measures that were
urged by the three minority reports pre-
viously submitted. The majority report was
adopted by the convention by a vote of 165 to
138. This action of the convention was bit-
terly resented by the southern delegates and
the delegation of Alabama offered a protest
to the proceedings and afterward withdrew
from the convention. The delegations from
Florida, Mississippi and Texas followed the
lead of Alabama. Parts of the delegations
from Louisiana, South Carolina, Arkansas,
Delaware and North Carolina also withdrew.
After the withdrawal of these delegates the
convention proceeded to ballot for president.
The full convention contained 303 members,
but a large number had withdrawn, so that a
two-thirds vote of 202 members would be diffi-
cult for any one candidate to secure. The
two-thirds rule prevailed and the result was
that no nomination was made at Charleston.
Fifty-seven ballots were taken, however, the
candidates being Douglas, Guthrie, Hunter.
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR
Dickinson, Andrew Johnson, Lane, Jefferson
Davis, Toucy and Pierce. The candidate who
bad the highest vote was Douglas, who re-
ceived 152& The convention adjourned to
meet at Baltimore on the 18th of June. At the
appointed time full representations were pres-
ent from all those states which had not with-
drawn from the Charleston convention, and
the delegations that ha-d left that convention
were excluded from this. Enraged at this ex-
clusion of the seceding delegates the delega-
tions from Virginia, North Carolina, Tennes-
see, California and Delaware, together with
portions of the delegations from Maryland,
Kentucky, Massachusetts and Missouri, re-
tired from the convention. Mr. Cushing, the
chairman, also retired and Gen. Todd of
Ohio was chosen in his place. Balloting for
president began, Douglas, Breckenridge and
Guthrie being placed in nomination. Two
ballots were taken. On the first Breckenridge
received 5 Guthrie 10 and Douglas 173^. On
the second Guthrie received 5^, Breckenridge
7^i and Douglas 181^. After the second bal-
lot Douglas was unanimously nominated.
Fitzpatrick was nominated for vice-president,
but declined, and Herschel V. Johnson of
Georgia was substituted.
The seceders from the Baltimore conven-
tion met in that city June 28. In all, twenty-
one states were fully or in part represented,
but there were no delegates from Connecticut,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Rhode Island,
South Carolina or Wisconsin. Caleb Cushing
presided. The two-thirds rule was adopted
and the delegates who had been refused ad-
mission to the regular convention were urged
to unite with this body. The Avery platform,
upon which the Charleston convention had
split, was unanimously adopted. One ballot
was taken for president, John C. Breckenridge
receiving 105 votes, being the whole number
of delegates present. Joseph Lane of Oregon
was nominated on the first ballot for vice-
president.
The band of seceders from the Charleston
convention met at Richmond June 11 and
organized by choosing John Erwin as chair-
man. Delegates were present from Alabama,
Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee
and Virginia. This convention did nothing
more than ratify the nominations of Brecken-
ridge and Lane made by the Baltimore
seceders.
A constitutional union convention was held
at Baltimore May 9. It promulgated strictly
union and constitutional principles. The
candidates for president were John Bell, Sam
Houston, John M. Butts, John McLean, J. J.
Crittenden, Edward Everett, W. L. Goggin,
W. A. Graham, W. L. Sharkey and W. C.
Rives. Bell and Everett were unanimously
nominated.
The republican national convention met
in Chicago May 1(>. It was called to order by
David Wilmot and was composed of delegates
from all the free states, together with repre-
s -ntatives from Delaware, Maryland, Vir-
ginia, Kentucky, Kansas, Nebraska and
Missouri. George Ashmun of Massachusetts
was chosen permanent chairman. The ma-
jority rule in nominating candidates was
adopted. The platform adopted boldly de-
clared the condition to which the country had
been reduced was due to the continued years
of democratic rule and promulgated repub-
lican doctrines in regard to slavery in the
territories. The eighth plank in the platform
was specially directed against slavery and
declared it to be a shameless institution and
that it should not be spread in the territories
of the United States. The candidates for
president were many, including Seward,
Lincoln, Wade, Cameron, Bates, McLean,
Reade, Chase. Dayton, Sumner, Fremont,
Callamer, and C. M. Clay. The result of the
balloting was as follows:

1864.
The war was in progress in 1864 and the
nominating conventions were few and devoid
of any interest except such as arose from the
question of preservation of the union.
The republicans met in Baltimore June 7,
William Dennison of Ohio presiding.
There was a very full representation of
delegates, many being admitted from the
states actually in rebellion. The convention
was unanimously in favor of Lincoln's re-
nomination and on the first ballot he received
497 votes, being the entire vote of the conven-
tion except 22 votes from Missouri, which
were given toGen.Grant. The vice-presidential
candidates were Hamlin, L. H. Rosseau, D. S.
Dickinson and Andrew Johnson. As the first
ballot was taken every one perceived the
great numerical strength of Johnson and he
was nominated on the first ballot.
The democrats met in Chicago Aug. 19.
Horatio Seymour was the permanent presi-
dent. The attendance of delegates was by no
means full and little interest was manifested
in the convention either by the people or the
delegates. George B. McClellan was nomin-
ated for president on the first ballot, receiv-
ing 202}^ votes, while Seymour received 23^.
The candidates for vice-president were Pen-
dleton, Guthrie, D. W. Voorhees, G. W. Cass,
August Dodge, J. D. Catron. Powell and
Phelps. Before the second ballot all had

1868.
The republicans led off in the conventions
of the year, meeting at Chicago May 20, with
Gen. Hawley as presiding officer. There was
only one sentiment in the party regarding a
presidential candidate and Gen. Grant
received every vote in the convention on the
first ballot. For the vice-presidency there was
more difference of opinion. Colfax, Wade,
Hamlin, Fenton, Wilson, Curtin, Kelly, Har-
lan, Pomeroy, Speid, and Cresswell all sought
the nomination. Five ballots were taken and
Colfax was unanimously nominated on the
fifth.
The democrats met in the city of New York
on July 4. Horatio Seymour presided. There
were a large number of aspirants for the
presidential nomination, including Hancock,
Hendricks, Seymour, English, Doolittle, John-
son, Chase, McClellan, Field, Hoffman, Blair
and Pendleton. Twenty-two ballots were
taken and Seymour was nominated while
seated in the chair guiding the deliberations
of the convention. Frank P. Blair was nom-
inated on the first ballot for vice-president.
The number of electoral votes was 294, of
hich Grant and Colfax received 214 and Sey-
mour and Blair 80.
1872.
The first convention of the year was that of
e national prohibition party. This party
had been organized at a meeting called for
that purpose at Chicago Sept. 1, 1869. The
name first adopted was the anti-dramshop
party, but before the meeting adjourned the
name was changed. The party convention
met at Columbus, O.. Feb. 22, 1872. The Rev.
John Russell called the convention to order;
the Hon. Henry Fish was chosen temporary
and the Hon. S. P. Chase permanent chair-
man. The platform declared for prohibition
in the sale of intoxicating liquors and for
suffrage without regard to "color, race, for-
mer social condition, sex or nationality."
The subject of nominations was referred to a
committee of thirteen, who reported the
name of James Black of Pennsylvania for
president and that of the Rev. John Russell
of Michigan for vice-president.
The chief interest, however, In the cam-
paign of 1882 centered in the liberal repub-
lican movement. This movement originated
n Missouri in 1870, its chief instigators being
^arl Schurz and B. Gratz Brown. It consisted
of moderate democrats and disgruntled re-
publicans, who united in a state campaign in
support of the "libera. ticket." A mass state
convention was called by the republican wing
of the party to meet at Jefferson City Jan 24
1872, and at this meeting nearly every county
n the state was represented It closed its
proceedings by issuing a call for a national
convention at Cincinnati on the first Monday
n May "to take such action as their convic-
tions of duty and of public exigencies may
require." Jan. 9 the democratic state central
committee of Missouri issued an address
"avoring the making of no nominations in
872 and the support of the candidate of
;he disaffected republicans. On May 1 a
large convention of liberal republicans as-
sembled in Cincinnati and organized by mak-
ng Carl Schurz of Missouri the permanent
!hairman. A platform was adopted which
was believed to be broad enough to accom-
modate democrats as well as republicans.
Without the formal naming of candidates the
balloting for president began. Six ballots
were taken, with the following result:

Before the sixth ballot was announced Min-
nesota changed 9 votes from Trumbull to
Greeley. Pennsylvania changed her vote to 50
for Greeley and 6 for Davis. Indiana changed
her 27 19 Adams. Other changes followed and
the chairman announced the result as 482 for
Greeley and 187 for Adams. For vice-president
B. Gratz Brown was nominated on the second
ballot, receiving 495 against 175 for G. W.
Julian, 75 for S. C. Walker, 3 for T. W. Tiptpn,
and 8 for John M. Palmer. Many of the liberal
republicans were dissatisfied with the nomina-
tion of Greeley, and a meeting was held in
New York May 30, composed of such persons.
In compliance with the views of this meeting
a conference was subsequently held on June
20 of persons invited. The invitation to this
conference was signed by Carl Schurz, Jacob
D. Cox, William Cullen Bryant, Oswald Otten-
dorfer. David A. Wells, and Jacob Brinkerhoff.
A series of resolutions was adopted, and
William S. Groesbeck of Ohio was nominated
for president and F. L. Olmsted of New
York for viee-president. During the ex-
citement of this canvass this ticket was lost
sight of and at the ensuing election received
no votes.
The republicans assembled in Philadelphia
June 5. Morton McMichael was made the tem-
porary and Thomas Settle the permanent
chairman. The demand of the party was
unanimously for Gen. Grant for a second term
and he was renominated by acclamation. For
the vice-presidency Henry Wilson received
364^ votes to 312J6 for Schuyler Colfax and Mr.
Wilson was nominated.
The democrats met at Baltimore July 9 and
were presided over by James R Doolittle.
Resolutions were adopted that were in
harmony with the Cincinnati platform of the
liberal republicans. There were 7:32 delegates
in the convention, and the vote, in the nom-
inating of a candidate for the presidency,
stood as follows: Horace Greeley 686, James
A Bayard 15, Jeremiah Black 21, William S.
Groesbeck 2, blank 8. Mr. Greeley received
more than two-thirds and was declared
the nominee. B. Gratz Brown received 713
votes for vice-president.
Some democrats who were opposed to the
nomination of Greeley met in Louisville Sept.
3 to nominate a so-called "straight-out" dem-
ocratic ticket The convention was called to
order by Blanton Duncan, and James Lyons
was made the permanent chairman. The
platform declared that "we proclaim to the
world that principle is to be preferred to
power; that the democratic party is held
together by the cohesion of time-honored
principles, which they will never surrender

O'Conor of New York was nominated for the
presidency and John Quincy Adams of
Massachusetts for the vice-presidency. Mr.
O'Conor persistently refused to be a candi-
date, and Mr. Adams consented only on the
condition that Mr. O'Conor withdraw his
declination. This was not done, and a small
number of votes was given for the ticket in
the country.
There were 349 votes in the electoral college,
of which Grant and Wilson received 286,
Thomas A. Hendricks 42, B. Gratz Brown 18,
Charles J. Jenkins 2, and David Davis 1. Mr.
Greeley died after the election and the dem-
ocrats scattered their votes.
1876.
Four tickets were in the field in the cam-
paign of 1876. The national prohibition re-
form party assembled at Cleveland May 17.
Over 100 delegates were present, representing
the states of Connecticut, Illinois, Kansas,
Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Massachu-
setts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, and Wisconsin. The Rev. H. A.
Thompson was permanent chairman. The
Hon. Green Clay Smith of Kentucky was
nominated for president and the Hon. G. T.
Stewart of Ohio was nominated for vice-presi-
dent At the ensuing election no electoral
votes were cast for the nominees.
A convention of independents, commonly
called the national greenback convention, as-
sembled at Indianapolis May 17. Nineteen
states were represented by 239 delegates. The
platform demanded "the immediate and un-
conditional repeal of the specie resumption
act of Jan. 14, 1875, and the rescue of our in-
dustries from the ruin and disaster resulting
from its enforcement." Peter Cooper of New
York was nominated for president and New-
ton Booth of California for vice-president.
Mr. Booth subsequently declined, and Samuel
F. Gary of Ohio was substituted in his place.
No electoral votes were given the candidates.
The republicans met in Cincinnati June 14,
and organized their convention by electing
Edward McPherson chairman. There were a
number of candidates for the presidential
nomination, and seven ballots were taken,

William A. Wheeler was then nominated
for vice-president.
The democratic national convention met in
St. Louis June 28 and was organized by the
choice of John A. McClernand as chairman.
The platform was called the reform platform
because it proposed to reform all the alleged
abuses which had grown up under the re-
publican rule. One of the planks denounced
"the present tariff levied upon nearly 4,000
articles as a masterpiece of injustice, inequal-
ity, and false pretense. It yields a dwindling,
not a yearly rising revenue. It has impover-
ished many industries to subsidize a few. It
prohibits imports that might purchase the
products of American labor. It has degraded
American commerce from the first to an in-
ferior rank on the high seas. It has cut down
the sales of American manufacture at home
and abroad and depleted the returns of
American agriculture an industry followed
by half our people. * * * It pro-
motes fraud, fosters smuggling, enriches dis-
honest officials and bankrupts honest mer-
chants. We demand that all custom-house tax-
ation shall be for revenue only." There were
738 delegates. The vote for presidential candi-
date stood: First ballot. Samuel J. Tilden
404J^, William Allen 54, A. G. Thurman 3,
Thomas A. Hendricks 140K T, F. Bavard 33,
Joel Parker 18, W. S. Hancock 75, M. 'Broad-
head 16. The second ballot stood: Tilden 5X5,
A len 54, Thurman 2, Hendricks 85, Bayard 4,
Hancock 58; necessary for a choice 492. Mr.
Hendricks was nominated for vice-president.
There being a dispute over the electoral
votes of Florida, Louisiana, Oregon and South
Carolina, they were referred by congress to
an electoral commission composed of eight
republicans and seven democrats, which by a
strict party vote awarded 185 electoral votes
to Hayes and Wheeler and 184 to Tilden and
Hendricks.
1880.
Gen. Grant returned to the United States
from a trip around the world late in 1879. He
had everywhere been received with a dis-
tinguished consideration that was gratifying
to the pride of the American people. His re-
turn under these circumstances caused his
name to be connected with the republican
nomination for the presidency for a third
term. No sooner was this done than a strong
opposition to his nomination appeared in the
republican party. So strong was this senti-
ment that a republican anti-third term con-
vention was held in St. Louis on May
6, presided over by J. B. Henderson, at
which strong resolutions were adopted oppos-
ing the nomination of Gen. Grant. In many
states, notably New York, the sentiment in
favor of Grant was equally prominent.
The national convention met in Chicago
June 2 and a six days' session followed.
George F. Hoar was both temporary and per-
manent president of the convention. A long
controversy ensued over the power of state
conventions to name delegates from the con-
gressional districts and bind their action by
instructions. Several days were spent in de-
bating this question, and it was finally decided
that state conventions had not the power to
bind district delegates by instructions. This
decision resulted in the loss of many votes for
Gen. Grant. The platform did not differ
greatly from previous party utterances. The
fifth plank, however, contained this sentence:
"We affirm the belief, avowed In 1876, that the
duties levied for purposes of revenue should
so discriminate as to favor American labor."
This was all that was said regarding a tariff.
The first ballot for president was taken on the
7th, the fifth day of the convention, and be-
fore a nomination was made 36 ballots were
necessary. The vote in detail was as follows:

The greenback or national greenback-labor
party took an active part in the canvass, its
convention being held at Chicago on the 9th
of June. The first ballot for a presidential
candidate was informal and resulted as fol-
lows: James B. Weaver 224}^, Herrick B.
Wright 12o^, Stephen B. Dillage 119, B. F. But-
ler 95, Solon Chase 39, E. P. Ahls 41, and Alex-

unanimously nominated. Gen. James B.
Chambers was nominated for vice-president.
The prohibitionists met at Cleveland June
17. The number of delegates present was 142.

chairman. Neal Dow of Maine and A. H.
Thompson of Ohio were nominated for presi-
dent and vice-president by a rising vote.
The democratic convention was held at Cin-
cinnati June 22. It was expected that Mr. Til-
den would be the nominee, but two days prior
to the meeting of the convention he pub-
lished a letter withdrawing his name. Gen.
Stevenson was chosen permanent chairman.
The platform declared for "no sumptuary
laws, separation of church and state, common
schools fostered and protected, home rule,
honest money, consistency of gold and silver
and paper convertible into coin on demand,
the strict maintenance of the public faith,
state and national, and a tariff for revenue
only." Three ballots were taken, resulting as

1884.
The republican national convention met in
Chicago June 3. John B. Henderson was
chosen permanent chairman. The platform
was reported by William McKinley, Jr., of
Ohio, and contained the first declaration in
favor of a protective tariff ever made by the
party. It was as follows:
"It is the first duty of a good government
to protect the rights and promote the inter-
ests of its own people. The largest diversity
of industry is most productive of general
prosperity and of the comfort and independ-
ence of the people. We therefore demand
that the Imposition of duties on foreign im-
ports shall be made, not for revenue only, but
that in raising the requisite revenues for the
government such duties shall be so levied as
to afford security to our diversified industries
and protection to the rights and wages of the
laborer, to the end that active and intelligent
labor, as well as capital, may have its just re-
ward and the laboring man his full share In
the national prosperity."
The balloting for a presidential candidate
followed the adoption of the platform and
resulted as follows:
James G. Elaine
Chester A Arthur
G.F.Edmunds ,
John A. Logan....
John Sherman
J. R. Hawley
Robert T. Lincoln.
W. T. Sherman

Gen. Logan was npmlnated for vice-presi-
dent without opposition.
The democrats met in Chicago July 8, Will-
iam F. Vilas of VVisco sin being the presiding
officer. The platform stated : "Wo therefore
denounce the abuses of the existing tariff, and,
subject to the pendlnylimitations, wedemand
that federal taxation shall be exclusively for
public purposes and shall not exceed the
needs of the government economically admin-
istered." The platform was very long. Gen.
Butler submitted a minority report, which
was a formal and explicit declaration in favor
of a protective tariff, but the report was
rejected by a vote of 97V* yeas to 714^ nays.
Two ballots were taken for presidential nomi-
nee, which stood as follows:

The prohibition convention assembled at
Pittsburg July 23, there being 410 accredited
delegates present from thirty-one states and
territories. Samuel Dickie of Michigan was
chosen permanent cha'rman. John P. St.
John of Kansas was nominated for president
and William Daniel of Maryland for vice-
president. The platform demanded prohibi-
tion in the manufacture and sale of intoxi-
cants, the ballot for women, and arraigned
both the old parties for the ills that beset the
people.
A national convention of the anti-monopoly
party met in Chicago May 14 and nominated
Benjamin F. Butler for president. The
national greenback-labor party met at Indian-
apolis May 27, and was presided over by
Gen. J. B. Weaver. Gen. Butler was asked if
he would accept the presidential nomination
from the party, and, responding in the affirma-
tive, he was nominated on the first ballot.
Absalom M. West was selected for the vice-
presidency. The platform favored substitut-
ing greenbacks for national bank notes, the
destruction of "land, railroad, money and
other gigantic corporate monopolies," and
favored raising the revenues by duties on
luxuries. The electoral college had 401 votes,
of which Cleveland and Hendricks received
219, and Blaine and Logan 182.
1888.
The democratic convention met in St. Louis
June 5. and organized with Patrick A. Collins
for permanent chairman. For some time be-
fore the meeting the renomination of Mr.
Cleveland was conceded, and the only inter-
est centered in the vice-presidency. For the
second office only two names were before the
convention Isaac P. Gray of Indiana and
Allen G. Thurman of Ohio. Mr. Thurman
was nominated on the first ballot, receiving
690 votes to 105 for Mr. Gray and 25 for John
C. Black of Illinois.
The republicans met at Chicago June 19.
In the early part of the year it seemed prob-
able that Mr. Blaine would be the nominee of
the convention, but on the 12th of February,
in a letter addressed by him to B. F. Jones,
dated in Florence, he said that as personal
reasons would prevent him from entering the
contest his name "would not be presented to
the convention." No serious efforts had been
made in behalf of any candidate except John
Sherman, whose nomination had been urged
by the Ohio state convention in July, 1887.
After the letter of Mr. Blaine other state con-
ventions recommended the nomination of
"favorite sons." May SO Mr. Blaine wrote
another letter in which he said that he could
not accept the nomination without showing
bad faith toward those candidates who,
relying oniliis former letter, were already in
the field, and therefore he could not accept at
all. The convention organized by choosing
John M. Thurston temporary and M. Estee
for permanent chairman. The platform was
presented on the third day. On the tariff the
platform said: "We are uncompromisingly in
favor of the American system of protection:
we protest against its destruction as proposed
by the president and his party. They serve
the interests of Europe; we will support the
interests of America. We accept the issue
and confidently appeal to the people for their
judgment. The protective system must be
maintained." Eight ballots were taken in
nominating a presidential candidate, as
follows:

The vice-presidency went to Levl P. Morton
on the first ballot.
The prohibitionists met at Indianapolis
May 30 and organized by choosing H. C.
Delano for temporary and Gen. St. John
for permanent chairman. Gen. Clinton B.
Fisk was nominated for president and
John A. Brooks for vice-president. Consider-
able discussion arose over the platform, espe-
cially upon the subject of woman suffrage,
which was decided in favor of unlimited suf-
frage.
The united labor party held its conven-
tion May 15 at Cincinnati, 274 delegates
being present. This party was formed Feb. 22,
1887, at a convention held in the same city, to
which delegates had been invited from the
labor and farmer organizations, including
knights of labor, wheelers, the corn-growers,
the homesteadry, farmers' alliances, green-
backers and grangers. The convention nomi-
nated A. J. Streeter of Illinois for president
and C. E. Cunningham of Arkansas for vice-
president. The platform, after reciting the
hardships of farmers and laborers, declared
against land monopoly, for government own-
ership of railroads, postal savings banks, free
coinage of silver, arbitration in strike dis-
putes, a service pension bill, a graduated
income tax, popular election of senators, ex-
clusion of the Chinese and female suffrage.
The union labor convention was held in
Cincinnati May 16. The party was made up
from the greenbackers, farmers' organizations
and other labor reformers. The convention
consisted of ninety delegates, representing
nine states. Robert H. Cowdrey of Illinois
was nominated for president and W. H. T.
Wakefleld of Kansas for vice-president. The
platform demanded public ownership of land,
taxing of land according to value instead of
area, government ownership of railroads and
telegraphs, reduction in hours of labor, sim-
plification of court proceedings, and de-
nounced both the old parties as "hopelessly
and shamelessly corrupt."
The national convention of the American
party was held at Washington Aug. 14, 126
delegates being present, more than half of
whom were from New York. The opposition
to the dictation of New York led to the with-
drawal of twenty-five delegates from other
states. James L. Curtis of New York was
nominated for president and James R. Greer

SALES OF MALT LIQUORS. 51
SALES OF MALT LIQUORS FOR 1892.
The Brewers' Journal for July publishes the following statistics, compiled from the
books of the commissioner of internal revenue, of the sales of malt liquors in the various
states and territories and in the leading cities of the country for the year 189:.', as compared
with the six years preceding. The sales in Kansas still continue to decrease. Maine and Ver-
mont still have no sales to be recorded. For the first time we are able to obtain figures of the
decrease in the Dakotas under the prohibitory law nearly 75 per cent, with a slight reaction
In 1892. Iowa, in response to the ferocious attack that has been made upon her prohibitory
law, shows an increase. The theory that "beer drives out whisky" receives a forcible illus-
tration in Kentucky, where there has been a considerable decrease. We give the figures as
they are furnished by the liquor-trade organ:

THE SETTLEMENT WITH ITALY.
Our difficulty with Italy, growing out of the
massacre of eleven Italians in the jail at New
Orleans on the 15th of March, 1891, was dis-
cussed in the Daily News Almanac of 1892
(page 35), the record closing with the trans-
mission to the secretary of state of the report
of the grand jury of New Orleans, which fully
investigated the matter. This was on the 19th
of May, 1891.
Early in 1892 a marked Improvement took
place In the attitude of Italy toward the
United States, although our government did
nothing more than maintain the respectful
dignity It had assumed from the first. No
notice was taken of the affront offered by Italy
to the United States by the recall of Baron
Fava.the Italian minister at Washington. Mr.
Porter, our minister to Rome, came home on
a leave of absence In the summer, but it was
distinctly given out that such absence from
Italy was not a retaliation for the recall of
Baron Fava. The United States left freely
open the way of mending the breach between
the two countries when Italy should move in
that direction. The first step taken by Italy
was in October, 1891, when she voluntarily
opened her markets to American pork, which
had for a long time been excluded from the
country. This was followed by a very pleas-
ant reference to Italy by President Harrison
in his message to congress in December 1891,
which, being noted by the Italian premier,
Rudini, on the 10th of December, brought out
from him in the chamber of deputies a state-
ment of confidence that the questions at
issue between Italy and the United States
would soon be amicably settled.
The feeling between the two countries con-
tinued to grow more friendly during the year,
which resulted in a correspondence between
the two governments that has resulted in a
complete restoration of the amicable rela-
tions that preceded the cause of the trouble.
The government of the United States volun-
tarily took the initiative in closing the breach,
and without committing itself to the recogni-
tion of any claim for indemnity, but simply
as an act of justice and from motives of
comity, placed in the hands of the Marquis
Imperial!, the Italian charge d'affaires at
Washington, the sum of 125.000 francs, or
$25,000, for distribution among the heirs of the
three Italians who were killed at New Orleans
and were found to be subjects of the Italian
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1893.
government. It is understood the money was
taken from the annual appropriation of
$80,000 to enable the president to provide for
unforeseen emergencies in the diplomatic
and consular service, so that it was unnec-
essary to call upon congress for a specific ap-
propriation. By this action on the part of the
United States government the disagreeable
complications in the relations of the two gov-
ernments were removed and the diplomatic
relations between them restored to the ami-
cable status existing before the New Orleans
tragedy. Minister Porter returned to Rome
and a minister from Italy took up his post
at Washington. The full text of the corre-
spondence on the subject is given below in
the following letters:
ELAINE'S LETTER.
Department of State,. Washington, D. C.,
April 12, 1892. Sir: I congratulate you that
the difficulties existing between the United
States and Italy, growing out of the lament-
able massacre at New Orleans in March of
last year, are about to be terminated. The
president, feeling that for such an injury
there should be ample indemnity, instructs
me to tender you 126,000 francs. The Italian
vernment will distribute this sum among
e families of the victims.
While the injury was not inflicted directly
by the United States, the president neverthe-
less feels that it is the solemn duty as well as
the great pleasure of the national govern-
ment to pay a satisfactory indemnity. More-
over, the president's instructions carry with
them the hope that the transaction of to-day
may efface all memory of the unhappy trag-
edy; that the old and friendly relations of
the United States and Italy maybe restored,
and that nothing untoward may ever again
occur to disturb their harmonious friendship.
I avail myself of this occasion to assure you
that your prolonged service at this capital as
charge d'affaires has been marked by every
quality that renders you grateful and accept-
able to the government of the United States,
and to renew to you the assurance of my high
consideration. JAMES G. ELAINE.
To Marquis Imperial!, charge d'affaires of
Italy.
ITALY'S ANSWER.
Washington, D. C., April 12, 1832. His Ex-
cellency James G. Elaine, Secretarv of State-
Mr. Secretary of State: You were pleased
to inform me, by your note of to-day, that the
federal government had decided to pay to
Italy, by way of indemnity, the sum of ~~
go
th
francs, to be distributed by the Italian
government among the families of the royal
subjects who were victims of the massacre
which took place March 15, Ib91, in the city of
New Orleans. Your excellency also expressed
the hope that the decision reached by the
president would put an end to the unfortu-
nate incident to which the deplorable occur-
rence gave rise, and that the friendly rela-
tions between the two countries would be
firmly established.
After having taken note with much pleasure
of the language used by the president in his
message of December last, and after having
fully appreciated the words of regret and cen-
sure uttered with so much authority by the
chief magistrate of the republic, and likewise
the recommendations to congress that were
suggested to his lofty wisdom by the unhappy
incident, the government of his majesty is
now glad to learn that the United States ac-
knowledges that it is its solemn duty and at
the same time a great pleasure to pay an
indemnity to Italy.
The king's government does not hesitate to
accept the indemnity without prejudice to the
judicial steps which it may be proper for the
parties to take, and considering the redress
obtained sufficient, it sees no reason why the
relations between the two governments,
which relations should faithfully reflect the
sentiments of reciprocal esteem and sym-
pathy that animate the two nations, should
not again become intimate, cordial and
friendly, as they have traditionally been in
the past, and as it is to be hoped they will ever
be in the future.
In bringing the foregoing to your knowl-
edge, in virtue of the authorization given me
by his excellency, the Marquis di Kudini,
president of the council, minister of foreign
affairs, in the name of the government of his
majesty, the king of Italy, my august sover-
eign, I have the honor to declare to your
excellency that the diplomatic relations be-
tween Italy and the United States are from
this moment fully re-established. I hasten,
moreover, in obedience to instructions re-
ceived, to inform you that, pending the minis-
ter's return to this capital, I have taken
charge of the royal legation in the capacity of
charge d'affaires. Be pleased to accept, etc.,
IMPERIALI.
Both the United States minister, the Hon.
A. G. Porter, and the Italian minister, Baron
Fava, have returned to their respective posts.
The former arrived in Rome May 31, 1892, and
the latter in Washington May 15, 1892.

BENJAMIN HARRISON.
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR THE PRESI-
DENCY.
Benjamin Harrison, twenty-third president
of the United States, was born in North Bend,
O., Aug. 20, 1833. He is the grandson of Will-
iam Henry Harrison, ninth president of the
United States. He attended school near Cin-
cinnati, and was graduated at Miami univer-
sity. He studied law and was admitted to the
bar, after which he was appointed crier in the
federal court at Cincinnati, which brought
him $2 a day during term time.
In 1854 he removed to Indianapolis, Ind., in
which city he has since resided. He continued
the practice of his profession, and in 18t)0 was
elected reporter of the Supreme court. Upon
the breaking out of the war he recruited the
70th Indiana regiment and became its colonel.
He served with distinction for two years, when
the war department detailed him for special
service in Indiana. In five weeks be com-
pleted the work and was given the command
of a brigade and transferred to Nashville.
After Sherman reached Savannah Gen. Harri-
son was ordered to join him, which he did at
Goldsboro, N. C., where he remained until the
close of the war. He was mustered out of
the service in June, 1865, with the rank of
brigadier-general. Returning to civil life,
Gen. Harrison became a member of the law
firm of Porter, Harrison & Fishback. In 18W>
he was candidate for governor on the repub-
lican side, but was defeated. He was appointed
on the Mississippi river commission in 1879.
Mr. Harrison was elected United States sena-
tor for Indiana in 1880 as the successor of
Joseph E. McDonald, and took his seat on
March 4, 1881. His term of service expired

WHITELAW REID.
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOB THE VICE-PRESI-
DENCY.
Whltelaw Reid was born in Xenia, O., in
October, 1837. His parents gave him a good
education. At 15 he entered the Miami uni-
versity at Oxford, Butler county. O., where
he was graduated in 185(5. He began the active
duties of life as principal of the graded schools
in South Charleston, Clark county, in the
same state, but did not continue in this occu-
pation long. In 1857 he bought the Xenia
News, and did such good work on that journal
as to give it a reputation wide as the state.
This led to his engagement by the Times and
Gazette of Cincinnati and the Herald of
Cleveland as their Columbus correspondent.
The war gave him an opportunity of distin-
guishing himself as a correspondent at the
front. He served the Cincinnati Gazette in
this capacity and in 1862 became a stockholder
of that journal, the publication of which he
assisted in subsequently in the capacity of as-
sociate editor. His connection with the New
York Tribune began with his being the editor
in charge of its Washington bureau. He
ventured upon the publication of a volume in
the year 1805. It was entitled "After the War
- A Southern Tour," and recorded observa-
tions made in company with Chief Justice
Chase on an extensive range of travel. Reid
published another book in 1868, "Ohio in the
War," a work of considerable length and
value. He became permanently an editor on
the staff of the Tribune in 1870, and when
Horace Greeley was a candidate for the pres-
idency assumed the position of managing
editor. Mr. Reid is a wealthy man. He mar-
ried the daughter of D. O. Mills, many times a
millionaire, and lives in fine style in an aris-
tocratic up-town district in New York. Presi-
dent Harrison appointed Mr. Reid minister
to France, and he has proved a successful and
exceedingly popular diplomate. In the spring
of 1892 Mr. Reid returned from France, having
resigned his position in Paris.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
PRESIDENT-ELECT OP THE UNITED STATES.
Grover Cleveland, twenty-second president
of the United States, was born at Caldwell,
N. J., March 18, 1837. His educational oppor-
tunities were at that time limited, and when
14 years old he removed with his parents to
Fayetteville, N. Y., where he began his career
as clerk in a store. Then came an opportu-
nity for Grover to attend a local academy,
and it was here he received training that
later in life led him to adopt the legal profes-
sion. Drifting westward, he became a student
in a law office at Buffalo, N. Y., and in May,
1859, he was admitted to the bar. His industry
and evident ability led to his appointment as
assistant district attorney when only 25 years
of age. He made such a record while in that
office that his name became a synonvm for
industry and honesty. Then followed in se-
quence of official terms of office his election
to the posts of sheriff of Erie county in 1870,
mayor of Buffalo in 1881, governor of New
York in 1882, president of the United States in
1884.
His first Waterloo came in 1888, when, nom
inated for a second term at the white house
by the St. Louis convention, he was defeated
by President Harrison by sixty-five electoral
votes. During the earlier part of his admin-
istration Mr. Cleveland was wedded to Miss
Frances Folsom of Buffalo, N. Y. The story
of how the ex-president wooed and won his
bride is somewhat romantic. She was the
daughter of Cleveland's former law partner.
It is said that Miss Folsom became engaged
to Mr. Cleveland about the time he began
his term as president. He had always held
her in fond regard since the -,ime he trotted
her on his knee when she was a little girl. He
treasured her picture all through the days of
his bachelorhood. Frances Folsom Cleveland
added vastly to the luster of Grover Cleve-
land's administration, endearing herself
almost to the extent of being idolized by a
large part of the American people. In Octo-
ber, 1891, a daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs.
Cleveland.
A. E. STEVENSON.
THE VICE-PRESIDENT-ELECT OP THE UNITED
STATES.
Mr. Stevenson was born in Christian county,
Ky., Oct 28, 1835, but belongs to an old North
Carolina family. His father was of Scotch-
Irish parentage, and during his residence in
Kentucky was a planter. In 1853 the family
removed to Bloomington, this state, and there
Mr. Stevenson commenced the study of law
in the office of R. E. Williams. He was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1S58, and soon after went
to Metamora, Woodford county. He settled
in that place for ten years. From 1861 to 1863
Mr. Stevenson was a master in chancery, and
from 1864 to 1868 was state's attorney. In 1868
he returned to Bloomington and formed a law
partnership with the Hon. James S. Ewing.
He was presidential elector in 1864, and ten
years later was nominated for congress from
the Bloomington district, at that time con-
sidered reliably republican by 3,000 majority.
To the surprise of the republicans this
majority was decreased 1,285. Again in 1876
Mr. Stevenson received a second nomination,
and while the party lines were more tightly
drawn in the presidential election he was
def3ated by only 250 plurality. Two years
later he carried every county- in the district.
His own county, that had given Hayes and
Garfleld 2,000 majority, gave him a majority.
In 1880 at another presidential election Mr.
Stevenson was defeated by only 200 votes. In
1882, when the state had been redistricted by
the republican legislature and not a doubtful
county was supposed to be left in the Bloom-
ington district, Mr. Stevenson, who had ac-
cepted a renomination, was defeated by only
350 votes. At the following election the old
opponent of Mr. Stevenson was elected by
2,700 majority. He was a delegate to the
democratic national convention of 1884, and
after the election of Grover Cleveland was
appointed first assistant postmaster-general.
Later he resumed the practice of law in
Bloomington. Mr. Stevenson was a delegate
to the present convention and chairman of
the Illinois delegation. In 1866 Mr. Stevenson
was married to Miss Letitia Green, daughter
of Dr. Louis Green, president of Center
college, Danville, Ky., and an eminent
Presbyterian minister.

enlisted as a private at the beginning of the
war and advanced in rank with a rapidity
equaled in very few cases. He was elected
first lieutenant of company G of the 2d Iowa
infantry, attained the rank of major Oct. 3,
1868, and as both his colonel and lieutenant
were killed at the battle of Corinth he was
made colonel. Finally he was brevetted briga-
dier-general "for gallantry on the field, to
date from March 13, 1863."
In 1866 he was elected district attorney of
the 2d judicial district of Iowa, and in 1867 was
appointed assessor of internal revenue for
the 5th district of the state, an office he held
for six years. He then edited the Iowa Trib-
une of Des Moines and was elected as an
independent republican to the XLVIth con-
gress. Men of his way of thinking, however,
were even then organizing a new party, and
in 1880 he became the greenbackers' candidate
for president. Excluding doubtful and fusion
tickets, he received 307,740 votes. He then re-
sumed private life and professional duties
for a time, but In 1884-6 was re-elected to con-
gress.
No man in th? Lth congress was better in-
formed on parliamentary rules, as he conclu-
sively proved by holding the house In a dead-
lock for several days on a question regarding
the Oklahoma reservation. Even then he
was regarded as a sort of stormy petrel in
politics, not a straight-out democrat, and cer-
tainly not a republican. In his first campaign
he scarcely had the backing of any party, and
his nomination was, In the politician's phrase,
"decidedly irregular," yet he made a cross-
roads canvass among the farmers and defeated
one of the brainiest republicans in the state.
In 184 the republican candidate, Capt.
Frank T. Campbell, was a national banker;
so the old greenbackers rallied to Gen.
Weaver, and in 1886 something else handi-
capped the republicans. Seeing him thus vic-
torious in a confessedly republican district.
the country began to look on Gen. Weaver as
a mascot, but in 1888 the republicans suc-
ceeded in uniting on a strong man and re-
manded the general to private life and peo-
ple's party politics.
GEN. JAMES FIELD.
THE PEOPLE'S PARTT NOMINEE FOB VICE-
PRESIDENT.
Gen. James Field, the vice-presidential
nominee of the people's party, was born in
ulpepper county, Virginia, in 1826, and spent
his boyhood there. He was educated a lawyer.
and became a democrat of "the old-fashioned
kind," as he puts It. In 1859 he was appointed
ommonwealth attorney for Culpepper
ounty. At the opening of the war, in April
of 1861, he resigned his position and volun-
teered with the Culpepper minute-men. That
company became noted for having a rattle-
snake for its emblem and "Don't Tread on
Me" for its motto. The company marched to
Harper's Ferry and assisted in the capture of
the federal arsenal.
Gen. Field was promoted from the ranks to
major in the Virginia forces and subsequently
was assigned to a position on the staff of Gen.
A. P. HiU. He was in the service from April
7, 1861, to the surrender at Appomattox, and
won distinction for his gallantry. He was
wounded at the first battle of Cold Harbor in
862 and again at Slaughter's Mountain (an
ngagement known in the north as the battle
of Cedar Creek) on Aug. 9. 1862. As a result of
the latter he lost his right leg below the knee,
and now uses an artificial limb and a crutch.
He was out of active service until May, 1863.
when he rejoined the army at Fredericksburg.
He was with the army in the Gettysburg cam-
paign, returned with it to Virginia, and was
continuously in service till the close of the
war.
After Lee's surrender Gen. Field resumed
the practice of law. In 1877 he was appointed
by the governor of Virginia to fill an unex-
pired term as attorney-general of the state,
and in November of that year he was elected
to congress for a full term of four years
beginning January 1, 1878. Since 1882 he has
been a practicing lawyer and a farmer, resid
ing on a considerable estate in Albemarle
county.
Though never a member of an alliance, a
grange or any other industrial organization.
Gen. Field has since 1885 proclaimed from the
stump throughout Virginia that redress for
the grievances of the people could only be had
through a reform organization. He held that
the influence of the party caucus had grown
superior to the will of the constituents of the
party and, therefore, unwise legislation could
neither be repealed nor prevented; therefore,
a new party was a necessity. Gen. Field is a
baptist, and has for some time been at the
head of the state organization of that church
in Virginia.
GEN. JOHN BIDWELL.
PROHIBITION CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESI-
DENCY.
John Bidwell was born in Chautauqua
county, New Fork, Aug. 5, 1819. In 1829 his
parents removed to Erie county. Pa., and in
1831 again removed to Ashtabula county,
Ohio, where he was educated at Kingsville
academy. During the winter of 1838-9 he
taught school in Darke county, and subse-
quently for two years in Missouri. In 1841 he
emigrated to California, being one of the first
to make the journey overland, which, at that
time, occupied six months. On the Pacific
coast he had charge of Bodega and Fort Russ,
and also of Gen Sutler's Feather river pos-
sessions. He served in the Mexican war
until its close, rising from second lieutenant
to major. He was among the first to discover
gold on Feather river in 1848. In 1849 he was a
member of the state constitutional conven-
tion and during the same year became a
member of the senate of the new state. He
was one of a committee appointed to convey
a block of gold-bearing quartz from California
to Washington in 1850. In 1860 he was a dele-
gate to the famous democratic national con-
vention at Charleston. Since then he has
been brigadier-general of the state militia. In
1864 he was elected to congress and served
from Dec. 4, 1865, to March 3, 18CT. He was a
delegate to the national convention of his
party in 1866. In 1875 he was candidate for
governor of California, but was defeated.

Mr. Cranflll was born in Parker county,
Texas, in 1857. He was raised on a farm, but
studied medicine and became a physician.
He started the Gatesville Advance, which he
published until 1886. In August of that year
he called the first prohibition party conven-
tion ever held in Texas.
In December, 1886, Dr. Cranflll moved to
Waco. Soon thereafter the great campaign
for constitutional prohibition began in Texas,
and Dr. Cranflll took a position at once as the
leading journalist on that side of the issue
and his paper was regarded as the principal
exponent or the amendment in Texas. The

Under his administration the mission work of
the state was doubled, and he has the distinc-
tion of having been the leader of the largest
state mission work ever done tn the history of
the United States. In January. 1890, Dr.

by the First Baptist church at Waco. In
March, 1892, he resigned his position as super-

GEORGE SHIRAS, JR.
JUSTICE OF THE UNITED STATES SUPREME
COURT.
George Shiras, jr., Is 60 years old. He was
born in Pittsburg, Pa., In 1832. descends
from a well-known pioneer family and is a
cousin of ex-Secretary Blaine. His father
was a brewer and owned a brewery at the
Point. It is a landmark and still stands. In
1840 the elder Shiras retired from business,
having amassed a comfortable fortune. He
turned his attention to the education of his
children. Early in life the future Supreme
court justice showed that he was possessed of
an unusual order of Intellect. His mother
was a daughter of Dr. Francis E. Herron, the
first pastor of the First Presbyterian church .
Mr. Shiras is a graduate of Yale, of the class
of 1853, taking the Greek prize. He was a
classmate of Chauncey M. Depew and Presi-
dent White of Cornell. He returned to Pitts-
burg and began to read law with Judge
Hopewell Hepburn of the District court.
Judge Hepburn was considered one of the
legal lights of his time. After becoming a
member of the bar young Shiras went into
partnership with Judge Hepburn for a few
years.
About 1860 Mr. Shiras, who had acquired
considerable prestige as a lawyer by that
time, started out for himself. His career
since has been an almost unbroken series of
legal triumphs. He has figured in dozens of
cases that have been recorded as precedents.
His practice has been along many lines, and
he has frequently argued in the court to
which he has been called.
Mr. Shiras has been engaged in much im-
portant litigation. In the case of Hartupee
vs. the City of Pittsburg Mr. Shiras repre-
sented the city. A late case in which Mr.
yhiras was engaged was that of the Junction
railroad, in which the Supreme court affirmed
that railroad's right to c: oss the tracks of the
Allegheny Valley railroad at 43d street. Mr.
Shiras acted as counsel for the Monongahela
Navigation company in its case against the
government which asked for the condemna-
tion of lock No. 7. In the riot case of 1877 of
Gibson against Allegheny county for indem-
nity on goods destroyed during the riot Mr.
Shiras was one of the counsel for the county.
Mr. Shiras is the forty-sixth citizen ap-
pointed to the associate justiceship of the
Supreme court of the United States since its
organization in 1789. In that time there have
been eight chief justices. The first appoint-
ment to the bench from Pennsylvania was
James Wilson, the second Henry Baldwin of
Pittsburg, the third Robert Cooper Grier, the
fourth W. Strong, and Mr. Shiras is the fifth
from Pennsylvania.
ANDREW D. WHITE.
UNITED STATES MINISTER TO ST. PETERS-
BURG, RUSSIA.
Andrew Dlckson White, sclwlar, educator,
philanthropist, publicist and diplomatist, is a
native of New York state, having been born
in Homer, Cortland county, Nov. 7. 1832.
When 7 years of age he removed with his
family to Syracuse, where his boyhood and
youth were passed. His father was an enter-
prising business man, a banker and railroad
operator. In 1849 young Andrew entered
Hobart college at Geneva, remained one year
and then entered the class of 1853 at Yale,
which numbered among its members Edmund
Clarence Stedman, George W. Smalley and
Isaac H. Bromley. Upon the completion of
his college course he went abroad to study,
remaining nearly three years in the College of
France and the University of Berlin. He was
for several months an attache of the United
States legation at St. Petersburg during the
period embracing the most stirring events of
the Crimean war. He returned to America in
1856, and the following year became professor
of history and English literature in the Uni-
versity of Michigan. In 1861 he resigned the
professorship and went abroad for health and
study, remaining two years.
In 1863 Mr. White was elected a state senator
from the district comprising the counties of
Onondaga and Cortland, N. Y. In 1865 he was
re-elected. It was while in the senate in 1864
that he met Ezra Cornell. The latter was
wealthy and determined to found a college
"where any man could be educated in any
study" at Ithaca, N. Y. Mr. White aided him
in obtaining a state charter for the college
and then a United States land grant of 990,000
acres for its endowment.
Mr. White was elected the first president of
the university, and sketched the plans upon
which it was founded. He gave all his
strength, mental and physical, to the school
for many years.
After twenty years of service as president of
Cornell, Mr. White resigned in 1885. He is
still identified, however, with the university
as a trustee. During the last fifteen years of
his term as president of the college he found
time in which to serve his country in diplo-
matic labors. In 1871 he was one of the United
States commissioners to Santo Domingo. The
same year he was also chairman of the
republican state convention. In 1879 he was
appointed minister to Germany by President
Grant. He was held in esteem by the German
government at Berlin and was a man of influ-
ence. He was a delegate-at-large to the
national republican conventions of 1872, 1876
and 1884. Last September he was prominently
mentioned for governor before the New York
convention which nominated J. Sloat Fassett.
GEN. EUGENE A. CARR.
THE NE\V% BRIGADIER-GENERAL OF THE
ARMY.
Gen. Carr was born March 20, 1830, in Erie
county, New York. He was appointed as a
cadet at the military academy in September,
1846. He- was commissioned in the regular
service as second lieutenant June 30,1851; as
first lieutenant of cavalry March 3. 1S55; as
captain 4th cavalry June 11, 1858; as major 5th
cavalry July 17. 1862; as lieutenant-colonel 4th
cavalry Jan. 7, 1873, and as colonel 6th cavalry
April 29, 1879. During the war Gen. Carr re-
ceived the following brevets in the regular
service: That of lieutenant-colonel Aug. 10,
1861, for gallant and meritorious service in the
battle of Wilson Creek, Mo.; that of colonel
May 18, 1863, for gallant and meritorious serv-
ice in the action of the Black River Bridge,
Miss.; that of brigadier-general March 13, 1865,
for gallant and meritorious service in the
capture of Little Rock, Ark., and that of
major-general March 13, 1865, for gallant and
meritorious service during the war. The

record of Gen. Carr has been a long, faithful
and active one, and from its beginning, with
two expeditions to the Rocky mountains in
1852-8, through several Indian engagements in
1800, down to and including the war of the
rebellion, his services as an officer of the
army have been of the highest order. During
the war of the rebellion Gen. Carr partici-
pated in many of the battles of the union
army, and displayed daring, coolness and
judgment which won for him the praise of his
senior officers and the gratitude of the people
of the north.
Since the war Gen. Carr has led several suc-
cessful expeditions against the Indians in the
southwest and northwest, For these opera-
tions he received joint resolutions of thanks
from the legislatures of Nebraska and Colo-
rado. He served in the regular army in Ari-
zona several years and in the northwest un-
der Gen. Merntt in 1876. During the railway
riot in Chicago in 1877 he commanded a cav-
alry battalion. In the fall of 1879 he was pro-
moted to the colonelcy of the 6th cavalry,
then stationed in New Mexico. The 6th cav-
alry is now stationed at Fort Niobrara.
Up to date Gen. Carr has held twenty-nine
commands ranking higher than his command
at the time. He was four times wounded and
participated in thirty-eight battles, of which
sixteen were with Indians and fourteen since
the close of the rebellion.
When the Sioux outbreak of February, 1891,
occurred Gen. Carr and his regiment were
stationed at San Francisco, but such was his
record as an Indian fighter that as soon as the
outbreak assumed importance he was ordered
to the scene with his men, and to him was
largely due the favorable termination of the
outbreak.
AUGUSTUS G. WEISSERT.
COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OP THE GRAND ARMY
OF THE REPUBLIC.
Augustus Gordon Weissert was born at Can-
ton, O., Aug. 17, 1844. He attended the schools
at Racine, Wis., the state of his adoption.
Graduating from the Racine high school he
entered the University of Michigan. He was
distinguished in his studies and bore off the
degree of LL. D. He was admitted to prac-
tice in Wisconsin, and was winning fame at
the Milwaukee bar when the war broke out.
As soon as the tocsin sounded he enlisted in
the 8th Wisconsin infantry, the " Live-Eagle "
regiment of history, and shared its fortunes
till the battle of Nashville. There he was
grievously wounded, receiving a bullet just
over the knee, which he still carries. Conva-
lescing sufficiently to rejoin his regiment, he
did so on crutches. After four years' gallant
service he was brevetted captain from the
date of the battle of Lake Chicol, Ark., June 6,
1864, for meritorious service in that fight and
at the battle of Nashville on Dec. 15 following,
and for extraordinary bravery throughout the
Red river expedition. He refused the tender
of a West Point cadetship by reason of his
wound. He joined the Grand Army of the Re-
public at Madison, Wis., in 1866, and has filled
creditably every position from comrade and
officer of the day up to department com-
mander. He has since been called upon to ad-
minister the office of commander-in-chief . He
was chairman of the executive council of the
citizens' committee that made the twenty-
third national encampment at Milwaukee a
success. At the Detroit encampment he re-
ceived the second highest number of votes for
the office to which he has been elected. In the
capacity of senior vice-commander he visited
all the departments of the east in company
with Commander-in-Chief R. A. Palmer. Just
now he is a member of E. B. Wolcott post of
Milwaukee.
ABRAHAM J. SEAT.
GOVERNOR OF OKLAHOMA TERRITORY.
The appointment of Judge Abraham Jeffer-
son Seay as governor of Oklahoma territory
gives general satisfaction, and he has been
congratulated heartily by men of all parties,
who have long admired him for his energy
and probity of character. Gov. Seay was born
in Amherst county, Virginia, Nov. 28, 1832.
When he was 3 years old his parents
moved to Osage county, Missouri. His early
education was very limited, and when he
reached the age of 21 he could scarcely more
than read and write. He started out with a
determination to win, however, and surely he
has succeeded. Working by the day he earned
sufficient money to pay nis way through the
Steeleville (Mo.) academy, and then studied
law in the same town, paying his way by his
own exertions. He was admitted to the bar
three days before the firing on Fort Sumter,
and, though most of his people sided with the
confederacy, he soon enlisted in the union
army and marched away for four years of
hard work and fighting. He entered as a pri-
vate, but in August, 1864, he was mustered out
a colonel of the 32d infantry, Missouri volun-
teers. He then began the practice of law at
Steeleville, and in the course of time was
county attorney, circuit attorney and circuit
judge, sitting on the bench in the latter
capacity twelve years. All the time he was an
active republican, on the stump in every cam-
paign, and twice ran for congress against
Richard Bland, the great silver champion. In
May, 1890, he was appointed associate justice
of the Supreme court of Oklahoma, and until
appointed governor filled that position with
honor to himself and satisfaction to the peo-
ple of the territory.
BISHOP W. PERKINS.
UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM KANSAS.
Bishop W. Perkins was born at Rochester,
O., Oct. 18, 1832. He was educated in the public
schools and at Knox college, Galesburg, 111.
After leaving college he went to Colorado,
and on his return in 1862 enlisted in company
D, 83d Illinois volunteer infantry. He served
as sergeant and lieutenant, and in December,
1863, was appointed adjutant of the 16th Colo-
rado infantry. Later he was assigned to duty
as captain of company C of the same regi-
ment. He served as judge-advocate on the
staff of Gen. Gillem, and also in the same
position on the staff of Gen. Steadman; was
mustered out at Nashville in May, 1866; re-
turned to Illinois, and resumed the study of
law, reading with O. C. Gray at Ottawa.
After being admitted to the bar in 1867 he
located at Pierceton, Ind., wheie he remained
until he went to Oswego, Kas., in April, 1869.

THE BERING SEA DISPUTE.
THE BERING SEA DISPUTE.
Our account of the differences in connec-
tion with the seal fisheries between the
United States and Great Britain in the
Daily News Almanac for 1892 (page 44) closed
with the agreement between the two countries
for the appointment of a joint high commis-
sion which should settle finally the matter in
dispute.
Considerable delay took place in the sign-
ing of the treaty for a joint commission, and
it was not until Feb. 29, 1892, that it was for-
mally signed, but it was not ratified by the
United States senate until a month later. The
number of arbitrators was increased from five
to seven. The joint commission spent several
months in Bering sea gathering all the infor-
mation possible to bear on the proposed arbi-
tration. It was expected that the four com-
missioners would be able to f ormul ate a joint
report that would be accepted by the board of
arbitration as an ultimate criterion of all
points raised regarding the seal industry.
The report of the commission was not satis-
factory, and no agreement between the two
countries was arrived at. It was shown, how-
ever, that since Alaska came into the posses-
sion of the United States the number of seals
had gradually diminished, and this decrease
was shown to be due to the destruction of the
animals by sealers. There was a disagree-
ment as to the source of this destruction, the
United States commissioners charging it to
the deep-sea killing carried on by Canadian
sealers, while the British representatives at-
tributed it to the killing of seals permitted
under contract by the United States treasury.
A new difficulty now arose, for it was ap-
parent that whatever might be the result
reached by the commissioners or arbitrators it
could not be reached in time to be operative
during the sealing season which was ap-
proaching. Steps were at once taken by the
United States to secure a continuance or the
modus vivendi, which would expire on the 1st
of May, 1892. To protect our own rights the
president issued on the 19th of February. 1892.
a proclamation warning all persons of their
liability to arrest and punishment if they
should be found sealing in Bering sea in viola-
tion of the laws of the United States.
The British government opposed the re-
newal of the modus vivendi as requested by
the United States. Lord Salisbury based his
refusal upon the rep9rt of the British com-
missioners that sealing in the open sea
would not endanger the destruction of the
species, and he objected to another year's
suspension of the industry which was impor-
tant to Canada. Lord Salisbury, however,
proposed that sealing should be prohibited
within thirty miles of the Pribilof islands and
that the catch by Americans in those islands
should be limited to 30 000 seals. On the 29th
of February, 1893, a treaty was signed in Wash-
ington by Mr. Elaine on the part of the United
States and Sir Julian Pauncefote on the part
of Great Britain, by which the whole contro-
versy was relegated to an international arbi-
tration commission to be composed of seven
members. On the 8th of March the treaty
was sent to the senate for ratification, but
the president and his cabinet decided to main-
tain its demand for a renewal of the modus
vivendi. The points to be submitted to arbi-
tration were set out in the sixth article of the
treaty as follows:
1. What exclusive jurisdiction in the sea
known as the Bering sea. and what exclusive
rights in the seal fisheries therein did Russia
assert and exercise prior and up to the time
of the cession of Alaska to the United States?
2. How far were these claims of jurisdiction
as to the seal fisheries recognized and con-
ceded by Great Britain?
3. Was the body of water now known as
Bering sea included in the phrase "Pacific
ocean" as used in the treaty of 1825 between
Great Britain and Russia, and what rights, if
any, in Bering sea were held and exclusively
exercised by Russia after said treaty?
4. Did not all the rights of Russia as to juris-
diction and as to the seal fisheries in Bering
sea east of the water boundary, in the treaty
between the United States and Russia of the
30th of March, 18CT, j>ass unimpaired to the
United States under that treaty?
5. Has the United States any right, and if so
what right, of protection of property in the
fur seals frequenting the islands of the
United States in Bering sea when such seals
are found outside the ordinary three-mile
limit? These points were to be decided by
seven arbitrators, two to be named by the
president, two by the queen, one by the presi-
dent of the French republic and one each by
the king of Italy and the king of Sweden and
were to meet in Paris.
The treaty did not touch the question of
damages for illegal sealing on the one hand
or for illegal seizure of vessels on the other.
This, however, was settled by an agreement
between Mr. Blaine and Lord Salisbury under
which the claims for damages followed the
award of the commission. No answer had
been returned to our demand for a renewal of
the modus vivendi of March 8 and on the Kith
Lord Salisbury's attention was again called
to the subject. On the 19th of March Lord
Salisbury replied, declining to renew the
modus vivendi for various reasons. The
president on the 22d of March replied very
vigorously to Lord Salisbury and declared
that the United States should insist upon the
right to prevent deep-sea sealing as a matter
of "honor and self-respect." He further said :
"If her majesty's government proceeds during
the sealing season upon the basis of its con-
tention as to the rights of the Canadian seal-
ers no choice is left this government but to
proceed upon the basis of its confident con-
tention that pelagic sealing in Bering sea is
an infraction of its jurisdiction and property
rights." For a time it looked as if the differ-
ences between the United States and Great
Britain would become serious and it was not
until Lord Salisbury's reply to the president's
note of the 22d, which was received on the
26th, that matters assumed a more pacific ap-
pearance. In this note Lord Salisbury ex-
pressed a willingness to agree to a renewal of
the modus vivendi on the condition that the
nation which was defeated in the arbitration
should pay to the other such damages as
might be assessed by the commission as a
result of a suspension of sealing. The ques-
tion of damages was settled to the satisfac-
tion of both governments and on the 18th of
April Secretary Blaine and Sir Julian Paunce-
fote concluded a new modus vivendi provid-
ing for a close season, as did that of 1891, but
including the agreements as to damages, and it
was sent to the senate April 19, 1892.
Briefly stated, these articles prohibit the
British and Americans from seal-killing in
Bering sea and islands, save 7.000 seals to be
taken on the islands for the subsistence of
the natives during the arbitration, provide
for the seizure of offending vessels and per-
mit the residence of British agents on the
islands during the season. Articles 3 and f>
read as follows:
"Article 3. If the result of the arbitration
be to affirm the right of British sealers to
take seals in Bering sea within the bounds
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR
claimed by the United States under its pur-
chase from Russia, then compensation shall
be made by the United States to Great Britain
for th'j use of her subjects for abstaining
from the exercise of that right during the
pendency of the arbitration upon the basis of
uch a regulated and limited catch or catches
as in the opinion of the arbitrators might
have been taken without an undue diminu-
tion of the seal herds, and on the other hand,
f the result of the arbitration shall be to
deny the right of British sealers to take seals
within the said waters, then compensation
shall be made by Great Britain to the United
States (for itself, its c!tizens and lessees) for
this agreement, to limit the island catch to
7,500 seals upon the basis of the difference
between their number and such larger catch
as in the opinion of the arbitrators might
have been taken without an undue diminu-
tion of the seal herd. The amount awarded,
f any, in either case shall be such as, under
all the circumstances, is just and equitable
and shall be promptly paid.
"Article 6. This convention may be re-
nounced by either of the high contracting
parties at any time after the 31st day of
October, 1893, on giving to the parties two
months' notice of its termination and at the
expiration of this notice the convention shall
cease to be in force."
The seventh and last article simply provides
for the exchange of ratifications as early as
possible.
The ratification of the treaty of arbitration
and the modus Vivendi were exchanged in
London May 7.
Of the seven arbitrators mentioned in the
treaty six have already been chosen. The
United States arbitrators are Justice John M.
Harlan of the United States Supreme court
and Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama.
The British arbitrators are Lord Hannen and
Sir John S. D. Thompson, Canadian minister
ofjustlce.
The counsel of the United States consists of
Edward J. Phelps of Vermont, ex-minister to
Great Britain, and Judge Henry W. Blodgett
of Chicago. The British government will be
represented by Mr. C. Robinson of Toronto,
Canada, and Sir W. H. Cross, member of the
British parliament. France selected as arbi-
trator Senator Baron de Courcelles and Italy
Marquis Visconti Venosta.
THE DIFFICULTY WITH CHILE.
A very grave trouble, that at one time
.hreatened war between the United States
and Chile, was settled during the last year
with great credit to our own government.
During the Chilean rebellion the insurgents
conceived a great dislike of the United states
for the supposed complicity of Mr. Egan, the
United States minister at Valparaiso, with
Balmaceda, the president of Chile. The
defeat of the president and his subsequent
suicide intensified the dislike of the successful
.nsurgents against the United States. The
United States man-of-war Baltimore was dis-
patched to Valparaiso to protect American
interests in that country. The Baltimore was
therefore in the harbor at Valparaiso by
virtue of that general Invitation which
nations are held to extend to the war vessels
of other powers with which they have friendly
relations. The vessel reached the harbor of
Valparaiso Sept. 14, 1891, and the city officials
extended the hospitalities of the city to its
officers and crew, as is customary. The inci-
dents that led to the difficulty are given in
detail in the message of the president to con-
gress Jan. 26, 1892, as follows:
"On the 16th of October last Capt. Schley,
commanding the United States steamship
Baltimore, gave shore leave to 117 petty
officers and sailors of his ship. These men
left the ship about 1:30 p. m. No incident of
violence occurred; none of our men was
arrested; no complaint was lodged against
them; nor did any collision or outbreak occur
until about 6 o'clock p. m. Capt. Schley states
that he was himself on shore and about the
streets of the city until 5:30 p. m.; that he met
very many of his men who were on leave;
that they were sober and were conducting
themselves with propriety, saluting Chilean
and other officers as they met them. Other
officers of the ship and Capt. Jenkins of the
merchant ship Keweenaw corroborate Capt.
Schley as to the general sobriety and good
behavior of our men. The sisters of charity
at the hospital to which our wounded men
were taken, when inquired of, stated that
they were sober when received. If the situa-
tion had been otherwise we must believe that
the Chilean police authorities would have
made arrests.
"About 6 p. m. the assault began, and it Is
remarkable that the investigation by the
judge of crimes, though so protracted, does
not enable him to give any more satisfactory
account of its origin than is found in the
statement that it began between drunken
sailors. Repeatedly in the correspondence it
is asserted that it was impossible to learn the
precise cause of the riot. The minister of for-
eign affairs, Matta, in his telegram to Mr.
Montt, under date Dec. 31, states that the
quarrel began between two sailors in a tavern
and was continued in the street, persons who
were passing joining in it. The testimony of
Talbot, an apprentice who was with Riggin, is
that the outbreak in which they were involved
began by a Chilean sailor spitting in the face
of Talbot, which was resented by a knock-
down. It appears that Riggin and Talbot
were at the time unaccompanied by any oth-
ers of their shipmates.
"These two men were immediately beset by a
crowd of Chilean citizens and sailors, through
which they broke their way to a street car and
entered It for safety. They were pursued,
driven from the car, and Riggin was so seri-
ously beaten that he fell in the street ap-
parently dead.
"There is nothing in the report of the Chilean
investigation made to us that seriously im-
peaches this testimony. It appears from Chil-
ean sources that almost instantly, with a sud-
denness that strongly implies premeditation
and preparation, a mob, stated by the police
authorities at one time to number 2,000 and at
another 1,000, was engaged in the assault upon
our sailors, who are represented as resisting
'with stones, clubs, and bright arms.' The
report of the intendente of Oct. 30 states that
the fight began at 6 p. m. in three streets,
which are named, that information was re-
ceived at the intendencia at 6:15, and that the
police arrived on the scene at 6:30, a full half
hour after the assault began. At that time, he
says, a mob of 2.000 men had collected and
that for several squares there was the appear-
ance of ' a real battlefield.'
"The scene at this point is very graphically
set before us by the Chilean testimony. The
American sailors, who, after so long an ex-
amination, have not been found guilty of any
breach of the peace so far as the Chilean
authorities are able to discover, unarmed and
defenseless, are fleeing for their lives, pursued
by overwhelming numbers and fighting only
THE DIFFICULTY WITH CHILE.
to aid their own escape from death or to
succor some mate whose life is in greater
peril. Eighteen of them are brutally stabbed
and beaten, while one Chilean seems, from
the report, to have suffered some injury; but
how serious or with what character of weapon,
or whether by a missile thrown by our men or
by some of his fellow-rioters, is unascer-
tained."
In the Chilean investigation that followed
that government made the most strenuous
efforts to show that the difficulty was brought
on by the sailors, but the great preponderance
of evidence shows that the assault was com-
mitted by an excited mob of Chileans actuated
solely and only by a hatred of the uniforms
the men wore and of the flag under which
they served.
The judicial inquiry in Chile terminated
Jan. 8, 1892, having been instituted Oct. 17, 1891.
It was presided over by Judge Henry Foster
of the Criminal court of Valparaiso. This
court reported: "1. That the incident origi-
nated in a brawl between intoxicated sailors
of both nations. The riot grew in proportions
on account of the special ward in which it
occurred, full of houses of bad reputation and
sailors. 2. The policemen from the first
moment did all they were expected to do to
suppress the riot. The correct course of the
police has been acknowledged by every one of
the witnesses and of the American sailors,
except two. 3. Only one isolated shot was
fired. It was from a revolver. The police are
armed with carbines."
There is a wide difference between the find-
ings of the Chilean court and the result of the
inquiry by the officers of the Baltimore. The
report or the medical officer of the vessel
states that Riggin was killed by a rifle ball, and
there was abundant evidence to prove that the
attack was premeditated and that the sailors
were assaulted in six different places at about
the same time. Capt. Schley states that in an
interview with Judge Foster soon after the
riot the latter said that the riot was caused by
the hatred that the lower class of Chileans
had for Americans because of the belief that
the Americans had aided or sympathized with
Balmaceda through the Chilean struggle.
Chile made no offer to apologize for the un-
justifiable affront to the dignity of the United
states, but after three months of delay made
the claim that the chain of legal formalities
was not yet complete, but that other links still
remained in the shape of a trial before the
judge of crimes on the indictments of some
men who had been arrested for the riot.
President Harrison therefore decided that
the time had come when further delay in a
reparation on the part of Chile could not be
permitted. Such was the condition when con-
gress convened. The publication in Chile of
that part of his message to congress that bore
on this matter aroused considerable resent-
ment in Chile, and on Dec. 1 1, 1891, the then min-
ister of foreign affairs. Senor Manuel Matta,
not only stated that the American minister
and consul at Valparaiso had concealed testi-
mony which might have cleared up the matter,
but he also addressed a circular to the
Chilean legations in the United States and
Europe accusing the American minister and
the American naval officers of making reports
to Washington that were deliberately false
and of engaging in intrigues for creating
trouble between the two countries.
THE MATTA CIRCULAR.
The premier's circular was as follows :
"Having read the portion of the report of
the secretary of the navy and of the message
of the president of the United States I think
proper to inform you that the statements on
which both report and message are based are
erroneous or deliberately incorrect. With re-
spect to the persons to whom an asylum has
been granted, they have never been threat-
ened with cruel treatment, nor has it been
sought to remove them from the legation, nor
has their surrender been asked for. Never
has the house or the person of the plenipoten-
tiary, notwithstanding indiscretions and de-
liberate provocations, been subjected to any
offense, as is proved by the eleven notes of
September, October and'November.
"With respect to the seamen of the Balti-
more there is, moreover, no exactness or sin-
cerity in what is said at Washington. The
occurrence took place in a bad neighborhood
of the city, the maintop of Valparaiso, add
among people who are not models of distire-
tion and temperance. When the police and
other forces interfered and calmed the tumult
there were already several hundred people
there and it was ten squares or more from
the place where it had begun.
"Mr. Egan sent, on the 26th of October, a
note that was aggressive in purpose and viru-
lent in language, as is seen by the copy and
the note written in reply on the 27th.
"On the 18th the preliminary examination
had already been commenced; it had been de-
layed owingto the non-appearance of the offi-
cers of the Baltimore and owing to undue pre-
tensions and refusals of Mr. Egan himself.
No provocation has ever been accefted or in-
itiated by this department. Its attitude, while
it has ever been one of firmness and prudence,
has never been one of aggressiveness, nor
will it ever be one of humiliation, whatever
may be or has been said at Washington by
those who are interested in justifying their
conduct or who are blinded by erroneous
views.
"The telegrams, notes and letters which
have been sent to yott contain the truth, the
whole truth, in connection with what has
taken place in these matters, in which ill-W!ll
and the consequent words and pretensions
have not emanated from this department.
Mr. Tracy and Jlr. Harftson have beeti led
into error in respect to our people and goTern-
ment; the instructions (recommending) impar-
tiality and friendship have not been complied
with, either now or before. If no -official
complaint has baen made against the minister
and the naval officers it is because the facts,
public and notorious both in Chile and the
United States, could not, although they were
well proved, be urged by our confidential
agents. Proof of tbis is furnished by the de-
mands of Balmaceda and the concessions
made in June and July, the whole Itata case,
the San Francisco at Quintero and the cabfe
companies. The statement that the North
American seamen were attacked in various
localities at the same time is deliberately in-
correct.
"As the preliminary examination is not yet
concluded it is not yet known who and how
many the guilty parties are. You no doubt
have the note of Nov.!), written in reply to Min-
ister Egan, in which 1 request him to furnish
testimony which he would not give, although
he had said that he had evidence showing who
the murderer was and who the other guilty
parties of the 16th of October were. That and
all other notes will be published here. You
will publish a translation of them in the
United States. Deny In the meantime every-
thing that does not agree with these state-
ments, being assured of their exactness, as we
are of the right, the dignity, and the final suc-
cess of Chile, notwithstanding the intrigues
which proceed from so low (a source) and the
threats which come from so hi<rh (a source)."
This circular was permitted to go for a month
unnoticed and it was not until it had been
transmitted to the Chilean congress and had
been officially published hi the newspapers.
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1893.
becoming thus a public document, that our
government felt called upon to accord to it
the notice it demanded. No other document
in all the correspondence was so fraught with
danger. Its reflections upon the honor of the
American civil and naval officers in Chile and
ts language concerning President Harrison
and Secretary Tracy aroused universal indig
nation in the United States. The government
of Chile saw that the circular was a great mis-
take and it was withdrawn.
On Jan. 21, 1892. the ultimatum of the United
States was served by Secretary Blaine on the
Chilean government through its representative
in Washington, Senor Pedro Montt. The
same day Minister Egan was cabled full in-
formation of the status of affairs.
THE ULTIMATUM.
The ultimatum contained three specific de-
mands:
_. That an apology should be given for the
murderous assault upon the sailors of the
Baltimore in the streets of Valparaiso.
2. That an indemnity should be given to the
sailors who had been injured and to the fami-
lies of those who had been killed.
3. That the insulting circular of Minister
Matta should be absolutely withdrawn.
No answer having been received up to noon
of Jan. 25, four days after the ultimatum had
been delivered, the president sent to congress
the whole volume of official correspondence
relating to the subject matter of the dispute.
The next day it came up for consideration. A
note of explanation and apology from the
Chilean government,in reply to the ultimatum
of Jan. 21, had actually been sent on the very
day that the president sent his message to
congress. It had not, however, been received
by the president, nor had our government any
indication of its character. Chile's answer to
the ultimatum .of the United States proved
satisfactory to our government. It contained
a complete apology for the Baltimore incident,
and its whol e tone gave evidence of the anxi-
ety of Chile to end the difficulty on terms ac-
ceptable to the United States. All the de-
mands of the ultimatum were unconditionally
granted; the Chilean authorities offered to
leave to the United States Supreme court the
question of reparation to the victims of the
mob in Valparaiso. The offensive Matta circu-
lar and the demand for Mr. Egan's recall were
withdrawn with adequate expressions of re-
gret and with an emphatic declaration that
Chile desired none but the most friendly re-
lations with the United States. This concilia-
tory reply disposed of all the points at issue,
and the president, in transmitting it to con-
gress Jan. 28. 1892, intimated that further ne-
gotiations might now be safely committed to
the executive branch of the government.
Seventy-five thousand dollars were paid by
Chile to be distributed among the heirs of the
two sailors who were killed and to compensate
those who were injured.
UNITED STATES AND CANADA-RETALIATION.
On the 20th of June, 1892, the president sent
to congress a message recommending retalia-
tion on the Dominion of Canada for an unjust
discrimination against American vessels nav-
igating Canadian canals. On the 21st of July
following congress passed an act authorizing
the president to retaliate on Canada for such
discrimination, and on the 20th of August the
president issued the following proclamation:
THE PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, By an act of congress, approved
July 26, 1892, entitled "An act to enforce
reciprocal commercial relations between the
United States and Canada, and for other pur-
poses," it is provided "that, with a view of
securing reciprocal advantages for the citi-
zens, ports and vessels of the United States
on and after the 1st day of August, 1892,
whenever and so often as the president shall
be satisfied that the passage through any
canal or lock connected with the navigation
of the St. Lawrence river, the great lakes, or
the waterways connecting the same, of any
vessels of the United States, or of cargoes or
passengers in transit to any port of the United
States, is prohibited or is made difficult or
burdensome by the imposition of tolls or oth-
erwise, which, in view of the free passage
through the St. Mary's Falls canal now per-
mitted to vessels of all nations, he shall deem
to be reciprocally unjust and unreasonable,
he shall have the power and it shall be his
duty to suspend by proclamation to that effect
for such time and to such extent, including
absolute prohibition, as he shall deem right,
the right of free passage through the St.
Mary's Falls canal so far as it relates to the
vessels owned by the subjects of the govern-
ment so discriminating against the citizens,
ports or vessels of the United States or to
any cargoes, portions of cargoes or passen-
gers in transit to the ports of the government
making such discrimination, whether carried
in vessels of the United States or of other
nations. In case and during such suspension
tolls shall be levied, collected and paid as
follows, to-wit: Upon freight of whatever
kind or description, not to exceed $2 per ton;
upon passengers, not to exceed $5 each, as
shall be from time to time determined by the
president.
Provided, That no tolls shall be charged or
collected upon freight or passengers carried
to and landed at Ogdensburg or any port west
of Ogdensburg and south of a line drawn from
the northern boundary of the state of New
York through the St. Lawrence river, the
great lakes, and their connecting channels, to
the northern boundary of the state of Minne-
sota.
Sec. 2. All tolls so charged shall be collected
under such regulations as shall be prescribed
by the secretary of the treasury, who may
require the master of each vessel to furnish a
sworn statement of the amount and kind of
cargo, the number of passengers carried, and
the destination of the same, and such proof of
the actual delivery of such cargo or passen-
gers at some port or place within the limits
above named as he shall deem satisfactory,
and until such proof is furnished such freight
and passengers may be considered to have
been landed at some port or place outside of
those limits, and the amount of tolls which
would have accrued if they had been so
delivered shall constitute a lien, which may
be enforced against the vessel in default
wherever and whenever found in the waters
of the United States; and
Whereas. The government of the Dominion
of Canada imposes a toll amounting to 20
cents a ton on all freight passing through the
Welland canal in transit to a port of the
United States and also a further toll on all
vessels of the United States and on all passen-
gers in transit to a port of the United States,
all of which tolls are without rebate; and
Whereas, The government of the Dominion
of Canada, in accordance with an order in
council April 4, 1892. refunds 18 cents per ton
of the 20-cent toll at the Welland canal on

wheat. Indian corn, peas, barley, rye, oats,
flaxseed and buckwheat, upon condition that
they are originally shipped tor and carried to
Montreal or some port east of Montreal for
export, and that if trans-shipped at inter-
mediate points such trans-shipment is made
within the Dominion of Canada, but allows
no such nor any other rebate on said products
when shipped to a port of the United States
or when carried to Montreal for export if
trans-shipped within the United States; and
Whereas, The government of the Dominion
of Canada, by said system of rebate and
otherwise, discriminat* s against the citizens
of the United States in the use of said Welland
canal in violation of the provisions of article
27 of the treaty of Washington, concluded
May 8. 1871 ; and
Whereas, Said Welland canal is connected
with the navigation of the great lakes, and I
am satisfied that the passage through it of
cargoes in transit to ports of the United
States is made difficult and burdensome by
said discriminating system of rebate and
otherwise, and is reciprocally unjust and un-
reasonable; now, therefore, I, Benjamin
Harrison, president of the United States of
America, by virtue of the power to that end
conferred upon me by said act of congress,
approved July 20, 1892, do hereby direct that
from and after Sept. 1, 1892, until further
notice, a toll of 20 cents per ton be levied,
collected, and paid on all freight of whatever
cind or description passing through the St.
Mary's Falls canal in transit to any port of
the Dominion of Canada, whether carried in
vessels of the United States or of other
nations, and to that extent I do hereby sus-
pend from and after said date the right of free
passage through said St. Mary's Falls canal pf
any and all cargoes or portions of cargoes in
transit to Canadian ports. In testimony
whereof, etc. BENJAMIN HARRISON.
HISTORT OF THE DIFFICULTY.
May 30, 1890, the steamer J. R. Langdon, of
.he Ogdensburg Transit company, left Chicago
with 36,500 bushels of corn destined for export
bo foreign countries via Montreal. The grain
was to be trans-shipped at Ogdensburg, instead
Kingston, as it had been from time im-
memorial. On the St. Lawrence river route,
by which grain is sent to foreign countries,
he transfer from lake vessels to St. Lawrence
iver barges, which are shallow enough to
jass through the St. Lawrence river canals,
las been made for many years at Kingston,
t was the principal industry of that Canadian
own on the north shore of Lake Ontario.
The grain was transferred from lake vessels
,o river barges by means of floating elevators.
When there were no barges at hand the lake
vessels had to wait until some came back from
Montreal. When the barges reached Mont-
p eal before the ocean steamers had arrived
which were to take the grain across the
Atlantic the barges lay ar<5und Montreal
larbor until the ocean steamers were ready,
t was a primitive way of handling grain, but
he Canadians, whose conservatism is pro-
-erbial, were indisposed to adopt any other.
It was in the spring of 1890 that the Ogdens-
>urg Transit company, which had built ele-
vators and followed the modern methods in
he grain trade at Ogdensburg. a town farther
lown on the St. Lawrence river, entered the
leld as a competitor in the Montreal grain
,rade. From the first shippers took most
dndly to Ogdensburg as the place of transfer,
t enabled them to have their boats unloaded
juickly, and the grain -was held in elevators
until the ocean steamer which was to take it
Tom Montreal was about ready to receive it.
Lake vessels made the run of sixty miles Irom
Kingston to Ogdenshurg without extra charge
owing to the rapidity with which they could
be unloaded at the latter point. St. Lawrence
river barges, which were compelled to pass
Ogdensburg on their way to Kingston, saved a
tow of 120 miles by stopping at Ogdensburg
and taking their grain from there. The charges
by the new route were made the same as from
Kingston. During 1890 450,414 bushels of corn
and 25,000 bushels of oats were sent abroad
over the St. Lawrence river route which was
transferred at Ogdensburg. The Canadian
government at the beginning of the trade by
Ogdensburg allowed that city the same ad-
vantages as it had been giving Kingston. On
the grain which was bound for export by the
way of Montreal a rebate of 18 cents of the 29
cents per ton canal tolls levied at the Welland
canal was allowed and a "let-pass" was issued
permitting the grain to go through all the
lower Canadian canals to Montreal without
further toll.
The initial season of the Ogdensburg route
indicated plainly that Kingston would soon
lose her grain trade. At this juncture the
Canadian elections came on. Sir John Mac-
donald's home borough was Kingston. He
pledged his constituents, if they gave him
their votes, so to manipulate canal tolls that
Kingston would no longer fear the deadly
competition of the American port of Ogdens-
burg. He kept his promise, and an order in
council was issued in the spring of 1891 that
canal tolls would no longer be rebated on the
grain trans-shipped from lake vessels to river
barges unless at a Canadian port. This mani-
fest discrimination against Americans in the
use of Canadian canals on the same terms as
all other nations has never been explained.
It was a high-handed act taken by the Domin-
ion cabinet because it was thought that the
American city of Ogdensburg could not help
herself. Kingston did not make a move to in-
troduce modern methods in the handling of
her grain trade. She relied solely upon the
puissance of Sir John Macdonald, whom she
had returned to parliament and to power.
The Ogdensburg people did not give up the
struggle. Shippers were anxious to send their
grain by that route, and with the belief that
the American government would come to
their aid they kept on in the Montreal grain
trade during the spring of 1891. The full Wel-
land canal tolls were paid by the Ogdensburg
people and the St. Lawrence river canal tolls
were also paid on this grain. It was hoped
that the American government would make a
stand against the discrimination and that the
tolls would be finally rebated. When Septem-
ber came and not a move had been made, the
Ogdensburg people gave up the contest. Up
to that time in 1891 they had handled from
Chicago 321,495 bushels of corn and 206.418
bushels of wheat. This business had been
done at a heavy loss.
It was nearly six months after Ogdensburg
had retired from the Montreal grain trade
that President Harrison finally saw the dis-
crimination of which the Canadians were
guilty. Then came his message to congress
advising retaliation on Canadian commerce
passing through the American canal at Sault
Ste. Marie, Mich., and Senator Davis' bill put-
ting retaliatory measures into effect.
The retaliation was a body blow to the Can-
adians. If they insist upon continuing the or-
der in council which has driven Ogdensburg
from the grain trade, the losses of the Cana-
dian marine will be beyond computation. The
great bulk of the wheat raised in Manitor>a
find* its way to Lake Superior ports and is
from there shipped by wat^r to the lower
lakes. A heavy toll at Sault Ste. Marie will
drive all this grain to American ports and it
ill then be shipped in American vessels in
bond throu-rh t!ie United Stnt s. Tho Cana-

Jian Pacific operates a line of passenger
steamers between Owen sound and Georgian
Day and Port Arthur, its port on Lake Supe-
rior. The Grand Trunk has lines of steamers
mnning from Surma to Lake Superior. Nine-
-enthsof all the business done by Canadian
ressels either originates on Lake Superior or
s freight sent to Lake Superior ports. Every
one of the craft engaged in the traffic must
pass through the American canal at Sault Ste.
Marie. A prohibitory toll, such as the presi-
dent is empowered to levy, will drive the Can-
adian vessels out of business altogether.
Even a moderate toll, with the keen competi-
tion now existing in the carrying trade, will
give traffic to American vessels.
IMPORTANT LEGISLATION.
While a large number of bills were intro-
luced into the ffrst session of the Llld con-
jress that convened in December, 1891, few
of much importance were passed. This
vas, in part, owing to the fact that while the
louse of representatives was strongly demo-
cratic the senate was republican and each
jrevented the other from passing measures of
i radical nature. The following were the
nost notable measures passed:
TO ENCOURAGE AMERICAN SHIPPING.
This bill authorized and directed the secre-
ary of the treasury to grant registers, as ves-
iels of the United States, to such foreign-built
teamships now engaged in freight and pas-
lenger business and sailing in an established
ine from a port in the United States, as are
>f a tonnage of not less than 8,000 tons and
capable of a speed of not less than twenty
mots per hour, according to the existing
nethod of government test for speed, of
vhich not less than 90 per centum of the
hares of the capital of the foreign corpora-
ion or association owning the same was
>wned Jan. 1, 1890, and has continued to be
>wned until the passage of this act by citizens
if the United States, including as such citi-
ens corporations created under the laws of
my of the states thereof, upon the American
iwners of such majority interest obtaining a
ull and complete transfer and title to such
teamships from the foreign corporations
wning the same : Provided, That such Amer-
can owners shall, subsequent to the date of
,his law, have built, or have contracted to
juild, in American shipyards, steamships of
in aggregate tonnage of not less in amount
ban that of the steamships so admitted to
egistry. Each steamship so built or con-
racted for to be of a tonnage of not less than
,000 tons.
Sec. 2. That the secretary of the treasury,
n being satisfied that such steamships so ac-
quired by American citizens, or by such corpor-
tion or corporations as above set forth, are
uch as come within the provisions of this
act, and that the American owners of such
steamships, for which an American registry
s to be granted under the provisions hereof,
have built or contracted to build in American
shipyards steamships of an aggregate tonnage
as set forth in the first section hereof, shall di-
rect the bills of sale or transfer of the foreign-
auilt steamships so acquired to be recorded in
the office of the collector of customs of the
proper collection district, and cause such
steamships to be registered as vessels of the
United States by said collector. After which
each of such vessels shall be entitled to all the
fights and privileges of a vessel of the United
States, except that it shall not be employed in
the coastwise trade of the United States.
Sec. 3. That no further or other inspection
shall be required for the said steamship or
steamships than is now required for for-
eign steamships carrying passengers under
the existing laws of the United States, and
that a special certificate of inspection may be
issued for each steamship registered under
this act; and that before issuing the registry
to any such steamship as a vessel of the
United States the collector of customs of the
proper collection district shall cause such
steamships to be measured and described in
accordance with the laws of the United States,
which measurement and description shall be
recited in the certificate of registry to be is-
sued under this act.
Sec. 4. That any steamships so registered
under the provisions of this act may be taken
and used by the United States as cruisers or
transports upon payment to the owners of the
fair actual value of the same at the time of the
taking, and if there shall be a disagreement as
to the fair actual value at the time of taking be-
tween the United States and the owners, then
the same shall be determined by two impartial
appraisers, one to be appointed by each of the
said parties, who, in case of disagreement,
shall select a third, the award of any two of
the three so chosen to be final and conclusive.

unable to procure his certificate, and to the
satisfaction of the court, and by at least one
credible white witness, that he was a resident

CANADIAN RETALIATION.
This act provides that, with a view of secur-
ing reciprocal advantages for the citizens,
ports and vessels of the United States, on and
after the 1st day of August, 1892, whenever and
so often as the president shall be satisfied that
the passage through any canal or lock con-
nected with the navigation of the St. Law-
rence river, the great lakes or the waterways
connecting the same, of any vessels of the
United States or of cargoes or passengers in
transit to any port of the United States, is pro-
hibited or is made difficult or burdensome by
the imposition of tolls or otherwise which, in
view of the free passage through the St. Mary's
Falls canal, now permitted to vessels of all
nations, he shall deem to be reciprocally un-
just and unreasonable, he shall have the
power, and it shall be his duty, to suspend, by
proclamation to that effect, for such time and
to such extent (including absolute prohibition)
as he shall deem just, the right of free passage
through the St. Mary's Falls canal, so far as it
relates to vessels owned by the subjects of the
government so discriminating against the
citizens, ports or vessels of the United States or
to any cargoes, portions of cargoes or passen-
gers in transit to the ports of the government
making such discrimination, whether carried in
vessels of the United States or of othor nations.
In such case and during such suspension
tolls shall be levied, collected and paid as fol-
lows, to-wit: Upon freight of whatever kind
or description, not to exceed f2 per ton; upon
passengers, not to exceed >5 each, as shall be
from time to time determined by the presi-
dent: Provided. That no tolls shall be charged
or collected upon freight or passengers car-
ried to and landed at Ogdensburg or any port
west of Ogdensburg and south of a line drawn
from the northern boundary of the state of
New York through the St. Lawrence river, the
great lakes and their connecting channels to
the northen boundary of the state of Minne-
sota.
Sec. 2. All tolls so charged shall be collected
under such regulations as shall be prescribed
by the secretary of the treasury, who may re-
quire the master of each vessel to furnish a
sworn statement of the amount and kind of
cargo and the number of passengers carried
ana the destination of the same, and such
proof of the actual deliveiy of such cargo or
passengers at some port or place within the
limits above named as he shall deem satisfac-
tory; and until such proof is furnished such
freight and passengers may be considered to
have been landed at some port or plaee out-
side of those limits, and the amount of tolls
which would have accrued if they had been
so delivered shall constitute a lien, which may
be enforced against the vessel in default
wherever and whenever found in the waters of
the Uni ted States. [Approved July 26, 1892.]

THE PRICE OF SILVER.
THE PRICE OF SILVER IN PENCE AND FRACTIONS.
[From Gold and Silver, by John S. Hanson.]
The price of silver is made in London and is quoted for an ounce of silver, English stand-
ard, which is .925 fine and contains 444 grains of pure silver. The American standard ounce
is .900 fine and contains 432 grains of pure silver. The "fine" ounce is, of course, 1000 fine and
contains 48U grains of pure silver. The American silver dollar is 412}^ grains standard, or
371J4 grains pure, and the dollar of fractional silver 385.8 grains standard, or 347.22 grains pure.
To make the bullion value of a silver dollar equal to the par value, silver would have to be
quoted at 59 pence per ounce, English standard, making the fine ounce worth $1.2929+, and the
American standard ounce worth $1.164+. The following table shows the value of the three
different standard ounces and of the silver dollar and a dollar of subsidiary silver coin at
different prices ranging from 30 to 60 pence in London, and also at one penny and fractions
thereof:

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1893.
HISTORY OF THE TTNTTED STATES FLAG.
The quartermaster-general of the army has
ssued the following bulletin regarding the
history of the American flag:
The American congress, in session at Phila-
delphia, established by its resolution of June
14,1777, a national flag for the United States
of America. The resolution was as follows:
"Resolved, That the flag of the thirteen
united states be thirteen stripes, alternate
red and white; that the union be thirteen
tars, white in a blue field, representing a new
constellation."
Although nearly a year previous, July 4,
776, these thirteen united states had been de-
jlared independent, this resolution is the first
egislative action recorded relating to a nation-
al flag for the new sovereignty.
The use of thirteen stripes was not a new
feature, as they had been introduced (in alter-
nate white and blue) on the upper left-hand
corner of a standard presented to the Phila-
delphia Light Horse by its captain in the early
part of 1775, and moreover the union flag of the
ihirteen united colonies raised at Washing-
;on's headquarters, at Cambridge, Jan. 2, 1776,
iad the thirteen stripes just as they are this
day; but it also had the crosses of St. George
and St. Andrew on a blue ground in the cor-
ner. There is no satisfactory evidence, how-
ever, that any flag bearing the union of the
stars had been in public use before the reso-
ution of June, 1777.
It is not known to whom the credit
of designing the stars and stripes is due. It
is claimed that a Mrs. John Ross, an uphol-
sterer, who resided on Arch street, Philadel-
phia, was the maker of the first flag combining
the stars and stripes. Her descendants assert
that a committee of congress, accompanied by
General Washington, who was in Philadelphia
n June, 1776, called upon Mrs. Ross and en-
gaged her to make the flag from a rough draw-
ing which, at her suggestion, was redrawn by
General Washington, with pencil, in her back
parlor, and the flag thus designed was adopted
by congress. Although the resolution estab-
lishing the flag was not officially promul-
gated by the secretary of congress until Sept.
3, 1777, it seems well authenticated that tne
stars and stripes were carried at the battle of
the Brandy wine, Sept. 11. 1777, and thencefor-
ward during all the battles of the revolution.
Soon after its adoption the new flag was
hoisted on the naval vessels of the United
States. The ship Ranger, bearing the stars
and stripes and commanded by Captain Paul
Jones, arrived at a French port about Dec. 1,
1777, and her flag received on Feb. 14, 1778, the
first salute ever paid to the American flag by
foreign naval vessels. The flag remained un-
changed for about eighteen years after its
adoption. By this time two more states (Ver-
mont and Kentucky) had been admitted to the
union, and on Jan. 13,1794,congress enacted that
from and after the 1st day of May, 1795, the
flag of the United States be fifteen stripes, al-
ternate red and white; that the union be fif-
teen stars, white in a blue field.
This flag was the national banner from 1795
to 1818, during which period occurred the war
of 18l2.with Great Britain. By ISl^flve addition
al states (Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana, Indi
ana and Mississippi) had been admitted to
the union, and therefore a further change in
the flag seemed to be required. After consid-
erable discussion in congress on the subject,
the act of April 4, 1818 was passed, which pro-
vided:
"1. That from and after the 4th day of July
next the flag of the United States be thirteen
horizontal stripes, alternate red and white;
that the union have twenty stars, white in a
blue field.
2. That on the admission of every new
state into the union one star be added to the
union of the flag and that such addition shall
take effect on the 4th of July next succeeding
such admission."
The return to the thirteen stripes of the 1777
flag was due in a measure to a reverence for
the standard of the revolution, but it was also
due to the fact that a further increase of the
number of stripes would have made the width
of the flag out of proportion to its length un-
ess the stripes were narrowed, and this would
mve impaired their distinctness when seen
from a distance. A newspaper of the time
said:
"By this regulation the thirteen stripes will
represent the number of states whose valor
and resources originally effected American in-
dependence, and the additional stars will
mark the increase of the state since the pres-
ent constitution."
No act has since been passed by congress
altering this feature ef the flag, and it is
the same as originally adopted, except as to
the number of stars in its union. In the war
with Mexico the national flag bore twenty
nine stars in the union; during the late civi
war thirty-five, and since July 4, 1891, forty
four stars. In none of the acts of congress re-
lating to the flag has the manner of arranging
the stars been prescribed, and in consequence
there has been a lack of uniformity In the
matter, and flags in use by the public gener
ally may be seen with the stars arranged in vari
ousways. The early custom was to insert the
stars in parallel rows across the blue field, and
this custom has, it is believed, been observed
in the navy at least since 1818, at which time
the president ordered the stars to be arranged
in such manner on the national flag used in
the navy. In the army, too, it is believed, the
stars have always been arranged in horizon ta
rows across the blue field, but not always ii
vertical rows; the effect however being about
the same as in the naval flag. Hereafter
there will be no difference in the arrangement
between the army and navy, as an agree
ment nas been arrived at between the war
and navy department on the subject. Since
July 4, 1891, the arrangement of stars in the flag
of the army and ensigns in the navy is as fol-
lows:
The national flags hoisted at camps or forts
are made of bunting of American manuf act
ure. They are of the following three sizes
The storm and recruiting flag, 8 feet in length
by 4 feet 2 inches in width; the post flag
measuring 20 feet in length by 10 feet in width
the garrison, measuring 36 feet in length by
20 feet in width (this flag is hoisted only on
holidays and great occasions). The union is
one-third of the length of the flag and extends
to the lower edge of the fourth red stripe
from the top. The national colors carried bj
regiments of infantry and artillery and the
battalion of engineers, on parade or in battle
are made of silk and are 6 feet 6 inches lonp
and 6 feet wide and mounted on staffs. The
field of the colors is 31 inches in length anc
extends to the lower edge of the fourth red
stripe from the top.
