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

Including a summary of all the laws of the United States for the minting of gold and silver. THE FIRST COINAGE LAW. THE ACT OF 1792. The first act of the congress of the United States respecting coinage was the act of April 2, 1792, entitled "An act establishing a mint and regulating the coins of the United States." The ninth section of this act provided: "That there shall be from time to time struck and coined at the said mint, coins of ?old, silver and copper of the following de- nominations, values and descriptions, viz: Eagles each to be of the value of ten dollars or units, and to contain two hundred and forty- seven grains and four-eighths of a grain of pure, or two hundred and seventy grains of standard gold." After providing for half eagles, each to be of half the value of the eagle, and quarter eagles, each to be'of one-fourth of the value of the eagle, the section continues, as follows: 'Dollars or units Each to be of the value of Spanish milled dollar as the same is now current, and to contain three hundred and seventy-one grains and four-sixteentli parts of a grain of pure, or four hundred and sixteen grains of standard silver." The act also provided for half-dollars, quar- ter-dollars, dimes and half-dimes, each to con- tain, respectively, one-half, one-fourth, one- tenth and one-twentieth of the pure silver contained in the dollar. The coinage of cents and half-cents of copper were also provided for. It will be seen that in this first coinage act the words "dollar or unit" are applied equally to dollars of gold and the dollar of silver that is, "dollar" is the name of the unit of money in our system, and the gold eagle was to be of the value of ten dollars, or units. The coin which represented exactly the unit was the silver dollar, and the act provided that it should be of the value of the Spanish milled dollar, as that piece was then current. The assay of a number of Spanish dollars, then in common use, showed them to contain three hundred and seventy-one and a fourth grains of pure silver, or four hundred and sixteen grains of standard silver. The proportion of pure gold to the alloy in gold coins was made by this act, eleven parts gold and one part alloy, the alloy being com- posed of silver and copper. The proportion of pure silver to the alloy in silver coins was made fourteen hundred and eighty-five parts fine silver to one hundred ana seventy-nine parts alloy. The reason for this proportion of silver to alloy was that the alloy was found in that proportion in the Spanish dollars then current. These coins having been a long time in circulation were more or less worn and their assay did not show the exact original weight of the coin, and probably not the exact original proportion of alloy. The alloy in the silver dollar consisted of 44^ grains of copper, making the dollar 892.4 fine; this, by the act of 1837, was changed to S\>/i grains of copper, making the standard nine-tenths fine. Section 11 of the act provided: "That the proportional value of gold to sil- ver in all coins which shall by law be current as money within the United States, shall be as weight of pure gold, and so in proportion as to any greater or less quantities of the respect- ive metals." A dollar of gold contained 24.75 grains of pure metal, and a dollar of silver 371.25 grains- being exactly 15 to 1. Section 14 provided. "That it shall be lawful for any person or persons to bring to the said mint gold and sil- ver bullion, in order to their being coined; and that the bullion so brought shall be there assayed and coined as speedily as may be after the receipt thereof, and that free of expense to the person or persons by whom the same shall have been brought. And as soon as the said bullion shall have been coined, the per- son or persons by whom the same shall have been delivered,shall,upon demand, receive in lieu thereof coins of the same species of bull- ion which shall have been so delivered, weight for weight, of the pure gold or pure silver therein contained." Section 16, which follows, made the coinage of both metals equally a lawful tender in all payments whatsoever, thus establishing the free coinage and full legal tender of both met- als without limit, at the ratio of 15 to 1. The exact language of section 16 of the act is: "That all the gold and silver coins which shall have been struck at. and issued from the said mint, shall be a lawful tender in all pay- ments whatsoever; those of full weight ac- cording to the respective values hereinbefore declared, and those of less than full weight at values proportional to their respective weights." Thus it will be seen that by this first act of congress establishing a mint, gold and silver, as recommended by Hamilton and Jefferson, and approved by Washington, were placed upon an exact equality as money metals, and their coinage made free and unlimited. The ratio of 15 to 1 foi American coins was not exactly in accordance with the ratio which then prevailed in European countries. Silver was slightly over-valued and gold a little under-valued. The result was that the metal- lic money of the United States, during this period consisted mostly of silver coins and largely of foreign coins. BuUll, 908,890of gold altogether were coined from 1793 to 1834, and this was generally soon exported. The pro- duction of gold for the same period in the United States is given at $14,000,000. But it should be remembered that this ratio of 15 to 1 was adopted eleven years before the law of France, enacted in 1803, fixed the wav- ering ratio at 15^ to 1, at which it stood with- out variation except as accounted for by the course of exchange, till 1873. COINAGE LAWS FROM 1792 TO 1873. The act of May 8, 1792, provided for the pur- chase of copper, "not exceeding 150 tons," "to be coined into cents and half cents," which, by the act of April 2, 1792, were to contain respectively eleven and five and a half penny- weights. The act of Jan. 14, 1793, provided that the cent piece should contain 208 grains of copper and the half cent 104 grains. The act of Feb. 9, 1793, prescribed the rates at which foreign gold and silver coins should be legal tender in the United States. This act provided that Spanish milled dollars should be legal tender "at the rate of 100 cents for each dollar, the actual weight whereof shall not be less than seventeen pennyweights and seven grains." Section 2 of this act provided, "That at the expiration of three years next ensuing the time when the coinage of gold and silver, agreeably to the act entitled 'An act establishing a mint and regulating the coins of the United States.' shall commence at the mint of the United States (which time shall be announced by the proclamation of the president of the United States), all foreign gold coins and all foreign silver coins, except CHICAGO DALLY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1892. Spanish milled dollars and parts of such dol- lars, shall cease to be a legal tender, as afore- said." By this provision it will be seen that while all other coins were to be deprived of legal tender, the Spanish milled dollar was to continue to be a part of the money of the country. Section 5 of the act of March 3, 1795, pro- vided for the deduction of 2 cents per ounce from deposits of silver bullion when below the standard of the United States, and 4 cents per ounce from gold bullion below the United States standard, to cover the cost of refining. Section 7 of this act provided that preference mteht be given in coining gold or silver bullion which came up to the United States standard, over that which required to be re- fined. Section 8 of the same act authorized the president of the United States to reduce the weight of the copper coin. The act of Feb. 1, 1798, suspended lor three years the act of Feb. 9, 1793, and made foreign gold and silver coins legal tender until 1801. Section 2 of the act of April 24, 1800, provided "That there shall be retained from every de- posit in the mint of gold or silver bullion be- low the standard of the United States such sum as shall be equivalent to the expense incurred in refining the same." Thus, the only charge made at the mint against either gold or silver bullion was the cost of refining it when below the coining standard. The act of April 10, 1806, repealed the act of Feb. 9, 1793, regulating foreign coins, and pro- vided that "Foreign gold and silver coins shall pass current as money within the United States and be a legal tender for the payment of all debts and demands," at rates provide d in the act. Among the coins named was the Spanish milled dollar. This act also made it the duty of the secretary of the treasury to cause assays of foreign coins to be had at the mint of the United States each year and to make a report thereof to congress. The act of April 21, 1806, provided penalties for falsifying or counterfeiting coins of the United States, or foreign coins circulating in the United States. The act of April 29, 1816, provided that after three years gold coins of Great Britain, France, Portugal and Spain, and the crowns and 5-franc silver pieces of France should not be legal tender. This act was, however, mod- fled by the act of March 3, 1819, which pro- vided that from and after the 1st day of No- vember of that year foreign gold coins should cease to be legal tender in the United States. The French crown and 5-f ranc piece, however, were continued as legal tender for two years and were afterward continued legal tender till 1823 and again till 1827. But by the act of March 3, 1823,all foreign gold coins were again made receivable for public lands. The act of June 25, 1834, made the dol- lar piece of Mexico, Peru, Chile and Central America and the 5-f r&nc piece of France legal tender at their nominal value when of full weight. As will appear from the foregoing summary of the coinage laws from 1792 to 1834, the coin- age of both gold and silver for the benefit of the holder remained free and unrestricted at the ratio of 15 to 1, as established by the act of 1792, and that during this period foreign gold and silver coins, at values designated by con- gress, continued to be current in the United States. It is worthy of note roo. that at no time was the Spanish milled dollar, the prototype of the American standard dollar, barred from cir- culation or deprived of its legal tender quality. In 1834 the first change in the ratio of pure metal in the gold and silver coins of the United States was made. By the act of June 28,the pure gold in the gold eagle was reduced from 247H> grains to 232 grains, and the other gold pieces in proportion. Section 3 of the act changing the weight of gold coins provided "That all gold coins of the United States minted anterior to the 31st day of July next shall be receivable in all payments at the rate of 94.8 cents per pennyweight." By an act of the same date foreign gold coins were made current in the United States at the same rate per penny weight as provided for United States gold coins, except French gold coins, which, being nine-tenths fine (in- stead of eleven-twelfths fine, as were our first gold and most foreign gold coins), were made current at the rate of 93.1 cents a penny- weight. This act of 1834 making the eagle contain 232 grains of pure and 258 grains of standard gold, changed the alloy to very nearly one-tenth in- stead of eleven-twelfths. If the pure gold in the eagle had been made 232.2 grains instead of 232 grains, the proportion of pure gold to alloy would have been exactly as 9 to 1. The change to this proportion was made three years later when the French standard of fine- ness was adopted for both gold and silver coins, and from that date all our gold and sil- ver coins have been nine-tenths fine. The new gold coins provided for by the act of 1834 were made legal tender in all payments. The old gold coins, those coined prior to 1834, as shown above, were made receivable in all payments at the rate of 94.8 cents per penny- weight, and as the eagle piece contained 270 grains eleven-twelfths fine, or 27 grains of the then standard gold to the dollar, these coins were by this act raised to $1.066. The ratio of pure gold to pure silver in our coins was made by the act of 1834, 23.2 to 371^, or almost exactly 16 to 1. No change was made in our silver coins by the act of 1834. Why the ratio should have been changed at this time from 15 to 1, as established in 1792, to 16 to 1, thirty-one years after the French act of 1803, which had practically fixed the ratio for all Europe at 15} to I, is difficult to understand. The reason usually given is that under the ratio of 15 to 1 little or no gold came or stayed here, and new mines of gold having been dis- covered in North Carolina and Georgia about this time, the higher ratio was adopted in or- der to give the gold a higher rating relatively to silver, and thereby keep it here. In the debates in the house in 1834 there was some opposition to the adoption of the ratio of 16 to 1, but an amendment offered in the house by Mr. Selden to make the ratio 15.K25 to 1 was voted down by 127 to 52. In the senate there was but little discussion on the subject and but seven votes were cast against the bill. Mr. Ewing, however, as did Mr. Gorham of the house, expressed the opinion that the act rated gold too high and that the effect would be that silver coins would leave the country as gold coins had before. It the ratio fixed in the act of 1792 was a mis- take, the ratio adopted by the act of 1834 was a much greater mistake, since, while in 1792 Europe had not settled on a definite ratio, in 1834 the ratio of 15^ to 1 had been well estab- lished for over thirty years. This mistake has been a grievous stumbling-block in the way ot establishing a uniform ratio for the different countries. The discovery of gold in North Carolina and Georgia led to the establishment in 1835 of three branch mints, one at New Orleans, one at Charlotte, N. C., and one at Dahlohnega, Ga.; but except the mint at Xew Orleans they were little used. The act of Jan. 18, 1837, revised the mint laws throughout and condensed the whole into thirty-eight sections of a new act, which is known as the mint act of 1837. Section 8 of this act provided "That the standard for both gold and silver coins of the United States shall HISTORY OB' OUR COINAGE. rts by weight 900 shall be of pure metal and 100 of alloy; and the alloy of the silver coins shall be of copper; and the alloy of the gold coins shall be of cop- per and silver, provided that the silver does not exceed one-half of the whole alloy." Section 9 provided "That of the silver coins the dollar shall be of the weight of 412^ grains; the half-dollar of the weight of 20CJ| grains; the quarter-dollar of the weight of 103^ grains; the dime, or tenth part of a dol- lar, of the weight of 41^ grains; and the half- dime, or twentieth part of a dollar, of the weight of 20^6 grains. And that dollars, half- dollars and quarter-dollars, dimes and half- dimes shall be legal tenders of payment ac- cording to their nominal value for any sums whatever." Section 10 provided "That of the gold coins the weight of the eagle shall be 258 grains; that of the half-eagle 129 grains, and that of the quarter-eagle 64J4 grains. And that for all sums whatever tfce eagle shall be a legal ten- der of payment for $10. the half-eagle for $5 and the quarter-eagle for 12.50." Section 11 provided "That the silver coins heretofore issued at the mint of the United States, and the gold coins issued since the 31st day of July 1834, shall continue to be legal tenders 8f payment for their nominal values on the same terms as if they were of the coin- age provided for by this act." The only change made in the gold coins by this act, from the act of 1834, was that by this act the alloy in gold coins as well as in silver coins was made exactly one-tenth; that is, the standard for coins of both metals was made by this act nine-tenths fine; and since the passage of this act standard gold and standard silver is understood to be gold or silver nine- tenths fine. To bring the alloy in gold coins to exactly one-tenth of the weight of the coin, the small fraction of two-tenths of a grain of pure gold was added to the weight of the eagle, or two-hundredths of a grain to a dol- lar, and the alloy reduced by the same amount, so that the weight of the eagle re- mained exactly the same under both acts; that is, 258 grains for the eagle piece, or 25.8 grains to the dollar. But by this change in the relative weight of pure metal and alloy, the ratio between gold and silver coins was changed from almost exactly 16 to 1, to 15.988- plus to 1, our present ratio. After providing for devices, legends, etc., on the various coins, section 14 provided "That gold and silver bullion brought to the mint for coinage shall be received and coined by the proper officers for the benefit of the de- positor." It was made lawful by this act to refuse a deposit of less value than $100, or of bullion so base as to be unsuitable for the mint. Depos- itors were to be paid for bullion in coin, and in the order in which deposits were made. Sections 15 and 19 provided for weighing de- posits in the presence of the depositor and for giving a certificate for the net amount "to be paid in coins of th same species of bullion as that deposited." Section 18 specified what charges the depos- itor of bullion should be subject to. These are: "For refining when the bullion is below standard," for purifying "when metals are contained in it which render it unfit for coining." etc. These charges were not to ex- ceed r however, the cost to the mint of the labor and materials required to bring the metals to the proper standard. Between the act of 1792, establishing the mint, and the act of 1837, no change whatever was made in the silver coins, and the only change made in these coins by the act of 1837 was the change in the alloy from 44% grains, as contained in the dollar of the act of 1792, to 41J4 grains, the pure sliver being left the same exactly by the act of 1837 as it was in the orig- inal act of 1792. The pure gold was changed from 24.75 grains to a dollar, as in the act of 1792, to 23.22 grains, as fixed in the act of 1837. As 371!^ grains is the weight of pure silver in our present standard dollar, it will be seen that this unit has therefore never varied in weight of pure metal through all the changes of our mint laws. It stands to-day the same dollar it was when our money system was established. By the act of March 3, 1843, British gold coins were made legal tender at the rate of 94.6 cents per pennyweight; French gold coins nine-tenths fine were made legal tender at the rate of 92.9 per pennyweight. By the same act the silver dollars of Mexico, Peru and Bolivia were made legal tender at their nominal value ; the French 5-franc piece was made legal ten- der for 93 cents. The act of March 3, 1849, provided for the gold dollar piece to contain 25.8 grains of standard gold and "to be of the value of one dollar, or unit." This act also provided for a $20 piece. The act of March 3, 1851, provided for coin- ing the 3-cent piece to meet the requirements of the 3-cent postage law. The change in the ratio to 16 to 1, in 1834, while the European ratio stood at 15!^ to 1, led to the exportation of nearly all our full-weight silver coins. For, by this variation in the ratio between the two metals i the United States and in Europe, full-weight silver coins were worth for export a little more than 3 per cent more than our gold coins; and as our sub- sidiary coins contained proportionally the same weight of pure silver contained in the dollar piece, it was as profitable to export these coins as the dollar piece; consequently the country was well-nigh depleted of small coins. To remedy this evil congress, by the act of Feb. 21. 1853, reduced the weight of the half-dollar from 206^ grains to 192 grains standard silver and the smaller silver coins in proportion. Until this act fractional silver coins were legal tender for all sums; but by this act they were made legal tender for $5 only. Deposits of silver for coinage into frac- tional pieces for the benefit of the depositor were no longer received, but provision was made for the purchase of silver bullion on government account for the fabrication of the light-weight subsidiary coins. The same act provided for the redemption of subsidiary coins and for their transmission to assistant treasurers and depositaries free of charge. Section 6 of this act provided that depositors might, at their option, have their gold and sil- ver cast into ingots or bars. Section 7 of the same act provided for the coinage of the $3 gold piece, which, like the 3-cent silver piece, was never a popular coin. The act of Feb. 21, 1857. deprived all foreign coins of currency in the United States. The old Spanish quarter, the shilling or eighth, the sixpence, or sixteenth of the Spanish milled dollar and of the Mexican dollar, which had passed current for 25, 12^ and &4 cents re- spectively, were made receivable by the gov- ernment for 20, 10 and 5 cents respectively, and when so received they were to be re- minted into American coins. Sect on 3 of this act provided "That all for- mer acts authorizing the currency of foreign gold or silver coins, and declaring the same a legal tender in payment for debts, are hereby repealed.' This act also provided for the present form of the cent piece of seventy-two grains, com- posed of copper and nickel. The 5-cent nickel piece to take the place of fractional currency and to be a legal tender for $1 was provided for by the act of May 16, 1866. 30 CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR From this summary of the coinage laws of the United States it will be seen that from the foundation of the mint down to 1873 gold and silver stood upon a plane of absolute equality as to all rights of mintage and power of legal tender. The unit rested on both metals alike. No discrimination whatever was made in any act between the two metals. Holders of gold and silver bullion were al- lowed, throughout this period of more than three-quarters of a century, without any dis- crimination whatever, to deposit their metal and have the same coined for their benefit into the various full legal tender coins prescribed by congress, without limit and free of cost, except such, expense as might be in- curred by the mint to bring the bullion to the required standard for coinage. DEMONETIZATION OF SILVER. THE ACT OP 1873. In 1867 an international monetary conference was held in Paris, at which Samuel B. Rug- gles represented the United States. At this conference our representative favored "a common unit of money," which was to be gold alone. In June, 1868, Hon. John Sherman, chairman of the senate finance committee, made a report to the senate in favor of "a single standard exclusively of gold" and the same year introduced a bill having for its ob- ject the establishment of a single standard "exclusively of gold" with silver for subsid- iary purposes only. This bill was not put upon its passage. In April, 1870, Mr. Sherman in- troduced a bill "revising the laws relating to the mints, assay offices and coinage of the United States," which was accompanied by a letter from Mr. Boutwell, secretary of the treasury, stating that "the passage of the en- closed bill" would "conduce to the efficiency and economy of this important branch of the government service." On the 10th of January, 1871, the bill passed the senate and the next day went to the house. There has been considerable dispute as to the means used to secure a passage of this bill. The friends of silver declare that the house was tricked into its passage, while the advocates of the bill affirm that it was fairly introduced and passed. It is, however, cer- tain that the bill was never read in the house and that Mr. Ke'lley, who had first charge of the bill, did not himself understand its full Section 14 of the bill provided that "the gold coins of the United States shall be a one dol- lar piece, which, at the standard weight of twenty-five and eight-tenths grains, shall be the unit of value." Section 16 of the act pro- vided that the weight of the silver dollar should be 884 grains "and shall be a legal ten- der at its nominal value for any amount not exceeding $5 in one payment." This section dropped the old dollar of 412 grains, substitut- ing a new one of 384 grains in its place and limited its legal tender functions to $5 and changed the ratio between gold and silver from 16 to 1 to 14.8 to 1, Section 22 of the act took away the right to have silver coined for the benefit of the de- positor a right that had existed from the formation of the government. As the bill had been materially changed in the house it went back to the senate in May. The bill was reported back with various amendments, which were printed January 7, 1873. The bill, as amended in the senate, provided for a "trade dollar" of 420 grains troy, striking out the provision for a 384-grain dollar as provided by the house, but made the silver coins legal tender for not more than $5. The senate also I amended the deposit section, enabling a de- positor to have trade dollars coined but no other silver coins. The bill passed the senate January 17, 1873, and went to the house, which did not concur in the senate amendments. A conference committee was appointed which agreed to the senate bill, and on the 6th of February the senate adopted the committee's report and the house adopted it on the next day, and the bill became a law. THE BLAND- ALLISON ACT OF 1878. The act of 1873 was specially unpopular at the west and was violently assailed as well as vigorously defended, and numerous resolu- tions were introduced into the Forty-fifth con- gress to restore the silver dollar. Nov. 5, 1877, Mr. Bland moved to suspend the rules of the house and pass a bill providing "that there shall be coined at the several mints of the United States silver dollars of the weight of 412^ grains troy of standard silver, as provided in the act of Jan. 18, 1837, on which shall be the device and superscriptions provided by said act; which coins, together with all silver dol- lars heretofore coined by the United States of like weight and fineness, shall be a legal ten- der at their nominal value for all debts and dues public and private, except where other- wise provided by contract; and any owner of silver bullion may deposit the same at any United States coining-mint or assay office, to be coined into such dollars, for his benefit, upon the same terms and conditions as gold bullion is deposited for coinage under existing laws. "All acts and parts of acts inconsistent with the provisions of this act are hereby re- pealed." This was agreed to and passed by a vote of 164 to 34 and it went to the senate. Mr. Allison moved In the senate to amend by striking out the last clause commencing "and any owner" and inserting the following: "And the secretary of the treasury is authorized and directed, out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, to purchase, from time to time, silver bullion, at the market price thereof, not less than two million dollars per month nor more than four million dollars per month, and cause the same to be coined monthly, as fast as so purchased, into such dollars. And any gain or seignorage arising from this coinage shall be accounted for and paid into the treasury, as provided under existing laws relative to the subsidiary coinage; provided, that the amount of money at any one time invested in such silver bull- ion, exclusive of such resulting coin, shall not exceed five million dollars." The Bland bill with Allison's amendment passed the senate Feb. 15, 1878, by a vote of 48 to 21. The bill went back to the house for con- currence Feb. 21, 1878, when it passed by a vote of 203 to 72. President Hayes vetoed the bill Feb. 28, and in the same day it was passed over his veto by a vote of 196 to 73 in the house and 46 to 19 in the senate. This bill, instead of restoring sil- ver to its place as a money metal, provided merely for making money out of silver, but it restored the legal tender power of the old dollar, except where "expressly stipulated in the contract" gold was to be paid. PERIOD FROM 1878 TO 1890. Neither the silver advocates nor the single standard champions accepted as final the act of 1878. In the extra session of the Forty- sixth congress Mr. Warner of Ohio April 30, 1879, introduced a bill amending section 3,511 of the Revised Statutes so as to read as follows: "The gold coins of the United States shall be a dollar or unit, " etc. Also amending section 3,513 of the Revised Statutes so as to make it read: "The silver coins of the United States shall be a dollar or unit," etc.. thus restoring the unit to both metals. Also to amend section 3,520 of the Revised HISTORY OF OUR COINAGE. Statutes so as to make it read: "Any owner of silver bullion may deposit the same at any mint, to be formed into bars or into standard dollars of the weight of 412!^ grains troy, for his benefit," etc., thus restoring unlimited coinage. Also section 3,585 so as to make it read: "The gold coins of the United States and standard silver dollars shall be a legal tender in all payments, " etc., thus restoring to silver full legal-tender power the same as gold. This bill passed the house May 24 by a vote of 114 to 97. It went to the senate but was never acted upon. June 9, 1879, an act was passed raising the limit of legal tender for subsidiary silver coins to $10, and also providing for their re- demption in full legal tender money. June 17, 1879, Mr. Vest of Missouri offered the following in the senate: "Resolved, That the complete remonetization of silver, its full restoration as a money metal, and its free coinage by the mints of the United States are demanded alike by the dictates of justice and wise statesmanship." This resolution was re- ferred to the senate committee on finance by a vote of 23 to 22 and was not again heard of. In the Forty-ninth congress a proviso was attached to the sundry civil appropriation bill authorizing the issue of one, two and five dol- lar silver certificates. This provision has op- erated to remove, in a measure, the objections to silver where large sums are required in small denominations, as in pay-rolls on rail- roads and other like operations. ACTION OF THE FIFTY-FIRST CONGRESS. On the 20th of January, 1890, Mr. Conger of Iowa introduced a bill into the house which was formulated by the treasury department. It was referred to the committee on coinage, weights and measures and on the 26th of March was reported back to the house. The bill as reported to the house was as follows (No. 5381): Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of Amer- ica in congress assembled, That any owner of silver bullion, the product of the mines of the United States or of ores smelted or refined in the United States, may deposit the same at any coinage-mint or at any assay office in the United States that the secretary of the treas- ury may designate, and receive therefor treas- ury notes hereinafter provided for, equal at the date of deposit to the net value of such silver, at the market price; such price to be determined by the secretary of the treasury under rules and regulations prescribed, based upon the price current in the leading silver markets of the world, but no deposit consist- ing in whole or in part of silver bullion or foreign silver coins imported into this country, or bars resulting from melted or refined for- eign silver coins, shall be received under the provisions of this act. Sec. 2. That the secretary of the treasury shall cause to be prepared treasury notes in such amounts as may be required for the pur- pose of the above section, and in such form and denominations as he may prescribe: Pro- vided, That no note shall be of a denomination less than one dollar nor more than one thou- sand dollars. Sec. 3. That the notes issued under this act shall be receivable for customs, taxes, and all public dues, and when received into the treas- ury may be reissued, and such notes, when held by any national banking association, shall be counted as part of its lawful reserve. Sec. 4. That the notes issued under the pro- visions of this act shall be redeemed upon de- , mand at the treasury of the United States or at the office of an assistant treasury of the United States, by the issue of a certificate of ' deposit for the sum of the notes so presented, payable at one of the mints of tne United States, in an amount of silver bullion equal in value on the date of said certificate to the number of dollars stated therein, at the mar- ket price of silver, to be determined as pro- vided in section 1; or such notes may be re- deemed in gold coin, at the option of the gov- ernment: Provided. That upon demand of the holder such notes shall be redeemed In silver dollars. Sec. 5. That when the market price of silver, as determined by the secretary of the treasury, shall exceed one dollar for 371.25 grains of pure silver, it shall be the duty of the secretary of the treasury to refuse to receive deposits of silver bullion for the purposes of this act: Pro- vided, That when the market price of silver, as determined in accordance with section 1 of this act, is one dollar for 371.25 grains of pure silver, it shall be lawful for the owner or any silver bullion, the deposit of which for notes is herein provided for, to deposit the same at any coinage-mint of the United States.to be formed into standard silver dollars for his benefit, as provided in the act of January 18, 1837. Sec. 6 That the silver bullion deposited un- der this act, represented by treasury notes which have been redeemed in gold coin or in silver dollars, may be coined into standard silver dollars or any other denomination of silver coin now authorized by law, for the pur- pose of replacing the coin used in the redemp- tion of the notes. Sec. 7. That so much of the act of February 28, 1878, entitled "An act to authorize the coin- age of the standard silver dollar and to re- store its legal-tender character," as requires the monthly purchase and coinage into silver dollars of not less than two million dollars nor more than four million dollars' worth of silver bullion, is hereby repealed. Sec. 8. That any gain or seigniorage arising from the coinage which may be executed under the provisions of this act shall be ac- counted for and paid into the treasury as pro- Sec. 9. That silver bullion received under the provisions of this act shall be subject to the requirements of existing law, and the regulations of the mint service, governing the methods of receipt, determining the amount of pure silver contained, and the amount of charges or deductions, if any, to be made. Sec. 10. That it shall be the duty of the col- lectors of customs of the United States to stamp with a steel stamp on every bar of sil- ver bullion imported into the United States the word "foreign." It shall be the duty of every assayer or refiner in the United States, or any other person or firm, who may receive bars of silver stamped "foreign," in case such bars are remelted or refined, to stamp with a steel stamp the resulting bars "foreign." In case bars of silver stamped "foreign" are re- melted or refined with other silver products of the United States in such a way that it is not possible to separate in the resulting bars the exact product of such foreign silver, it shall be the d aty of such assayer or refiner, or other person or firm, to stamp with a steel stamp on an amount of silver bars which shall be equivalent to the amount of foreign silver melted or refined the word "foreign." It shall be the duty of every assayer or refiner in the United States, or fany other person or firm, who may receive coins of silver of the,coinage of countries other than the United States, in case such coins are remelted or refined, to stamp with a steel stamp the resulting bars "foreign." In case foreign silver coins are re- melted or refined with other silver products of the United States in such a way that it is not possible to separate in the resulting bars 32 CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1892. the exact product of such foreign silver coins, it shall be the duty of such assayer or refiner, or other person or firm, to stamp with a steel stamp on an amount of silver bars which shall be equivalent to the amount of foreign silver coins melted or refined the word "foreign." Every person who fails to stamp bars result- ing from the remelting or refining of foreign silver bullion or foreign silver coins with the word "foreign," and every person who falsely removes this stamp or who by any art, way or means mutilates the stamp for the purpose of preventing identification of the bars, shall be punished by a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000 for each bar: Provided, That nothing in this section shall be held to apply to silver products extracted by the processes of smelting, amalgamation, and lixiviation or any other metallurgical process, in the United States, from ores imported from foreign coun- tries. Sec. 11. That nothing in this act shall be con- strued to prevent the purchase, from time to time, as may be required, of silver bullion for the subsidiary silver coinage, not to affect the legal-tender quality of the standard silver dollar. Sec. 12. That a sum sufficient to carry out the provisions of this act is hereby appropriated, out of any money in the treasury not other- wise appropriated. Sec. 13. That all acts and parts of acts incon- sistent with the provisions of this act are here- by repealed. Sec. 14. That this act shall take effect thirty days from and after its passage. A minority report was made, signed by Mr. Bland and Mr. Williams, recommending free coinage as proposed in the following bill: Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of Amer- ica in congress assembled, That from and after the passage of this act all holders of silver bullion of the value of $50 or more, standard fineness, shall be entitled to have the same coined in standard silver dollars of 412^grains troy of standard silver to the dollar, upon like terms and conditions as gold is now coined for private holders; that the standard silver dol- lar heretofore coined and herein provided for shall be the unit of account and standard of value in like manner as now provided for the gold dollar, and shall be a legal tender for all debts, public and private, except where other- wise stipulated. Sec. 2. That so much of the provisions of the act of February 28, 1878, entitled "An act to authorize the coinage of the standard silver dollar and restore its legal-tender character," as provides for issuing certificates on the de- posit of silver dollars, shall be applicable to the coin herein named; and so much of the said act of February 28, 1878, as provides for the purchase of silver bullion to be coined monthly into standard silver dollars, be t and the same is, hereby repealed. Sec. 3. That the secretary of the treasury is hereby authorized to adopt such rules and regulations as may be necessary to enforce the provisions of this act. On the 25th of February, Mr. Jones of Ne- \iiicla reported from the finance committee to the senate the following as a substitute for other bills before the committee: Be it enacted, etc., That the secretary of the treasury is hereby directed to purchase from time to time silver bullion to the aggregate amount of $4,500,000 worth in each month, at the market price thereof, not exceeding one dollar for 371.25 grains of pure silver, and also to purchase such gold bullion as may be of- fered at the treasury or any subtreasury of the United States at a price not exceeding one dollar for 23.22 grains of pure gold, and to issue in payment for such purchases of silver and.. by the secretary of the treasury, in such" form and of such denominations, not less than one dollar nor more than one thousand dollars, as he may prescribe, and a sum sufficient to carry into effect the provisions of this act is hereby appropriated out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated. Sec. 2. That the treasury notes issued in accordance with the provisions of this act shall be redeemable on demand, in lawful money of the United States, at the treasury of the United States, or at the office of any as- sistant treasurer of the United States, and when so redeemed shall be canceled; and such treasury notes shall be receivable for customs, taxes and all public dues, and when so received may be reissued: and such notes when held by any national banking associa- tion, may be counted as a part of its lawful Sec. 3. That the secretary of the treasury shall coin such portion of the gold or silver bullion purchased under the provisions of this act as may be neceesary to provide for the redemption of the treasury notes herein provided for,and any gain or seigniorage aris- ing from such coinage shall be accounted for and paid into the treasury. Sec. 4. That the gold and silver bullion pur- chased under the provisions of this act shall be subject to the requirements of existing law and the regulations of the mint service, governing the methods of determining the amount of pure gold or pure silver contained, and the amount of charges or deductions, if any, to be made. Sec. 6. That so much of the act of Feb. 28, 1878, entitled "An act to authorize the coinage of the standard silver dollar and to restore its legal-tender character," as requires the month- ly purchase and coinage of the same into sil- ver dollars of not less than $2,000,000 nor more than $4,000,000 worth of silver bullion, is hereby repealed. Sec. 6. That this act shall take effect thirty days from and after its passage. Meanwhile petitions from many parts of the country asking for the free coinage of silver were presented in both houses. The bills as presented by their respective committees to the house and senate contained provisions differing widely, which, from a partisan standpoint, it was important to har- monize. The differences were made the sub- ject of a joint caucus by the republicans of the two houses. The disagreement was princi- pally over the bullion redemption feature of the house bill, and on this point no agreement was reached, as certain of the western sena- tors, led by Senator Teller, refused to assent to this provision of the treasury scheme. The provisions agreed upon, however, by a majority of those attending the caucus were incorporated in a new bill which was intro- duced in the house by Mr. Conger, April 24, and referred to the committee on coinage, weights and measures. The bill was there amended so as to make the purchase $4,500,000 worth instead of 4,500,000 ounces, as in the first caucus bill, and making notes issued therefor redeemable in "coin" instead of "lawful money." The bill as amended was offered in the house by Mr. Conger, June 5th, as a sub- stitute for the original committee bill, which had been previously reported to the house. It was debated until the 7th. It passed the house by a vote of 135 to 119. The 135 yeas were all republicans and the 119 nays con- tained 112 democrats and 7 republicans. The bill as it passed the house contained two important features the bullion redemp- tion clause and the section providing for free coinage when silver reached parity with gold on our ratio, or $1.29 an ounce. The bill went HISTORY OF OUR COINAGE. to the senate June 9th, and on motion of Mr. Teller was ordered to be printed and He on the table. On the following day it was, on motion of Mr. Morrill, referred to the com- mittee on finance. It was reported back to the senate by Mr. MorrillJune llth with sun- dry amendments, and with notice that he would at the proper time offer it as a substi- tute for the bill then pending in the senate. It was ably discussed on both sides till June 17th, when it was put upon its passage and passed on that day by a vote of 42 to 25. The bill as it passed the senate was as perfect a free coinage measure as could be desired. The first section restored the unit to both metals, as in the act of 1792, made the coinage of both metals free and made silver as well as gold full legal tender for all purposes. It also made all certificates issued on either gold or silver, legal tender for all debts, public and private. Thus the bill went back to the house with the substitution of free coinage in lieu of the purchase of four and a half millions worth of silver a month, with bullion redemp- tion. THE SENATE BILL IN THE HOUSE. This bill which passed the senate as a sub- stitute for house bill No. 5381, came back to the house June 18th and was referred to the committee on coinage, weights and measures. This reference of the bill by the speaker was called in question by Mr. Mills of Texas, who on the next day objected to the approval of the journal of the house which contained the reference of the bill. The point was that the bill should come before the house without a reference to a committee. The house voted to correct the journal by a vote of 132 to 130. The speaker ruled that the bill had been properly referred to the committee and was with that committee. In the long wrangle over this matter free coinage which had passed the senate failed to pass the house. The bill came up again in the house June 24th. After being debated, Mr. Bland moved that the senate amendments be concurred in which was lost by a vote of 135 to 152. Thus free coinage which passed the senate by a vote of seventeen was lost in the house by exactly the same vote. THE PRESENT LAW. June 28, 1890, the senate was notified that the house had disagreed to the senate amend- ments to bill 5381. and asked for a committee of conference. The request was granted and a committee consisting of Messrs. Conger, Walker and Bland on the part of the bouse, and Messrs. Sherman, Jones and Harris on the part of the senate was appointed. The committee made its report which was agreed to by the senate July 10, by a yote of 39 to 2fi, and by the house July 11, by a vote of 122 to 90. The vote was a strict party one, all the affirm- ative votes in the house being republicans, and all the negative votes being democrats. The following is the law as passed, which ent into effect July 14, 1890: PURCHASE OF BULLION. An act directing the purchase of silver bul- lion and the issue of treasury notes thereon, and for other purposes: Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of Amer- ica in congress assembled, That the secretary of the treasury is hereby directed to purchase, from time to time, silver bullion to the aggre- gate amount of four million five hundred thousand ounces, or so much thereof as may be offered in each month, at the market price thereof, not exceeding one dollar for three hundred and seventy-one and twenty-five hundreths grains of pure silver, and to "issue in payment for such purchases of silver bull- ion treasury notes of the United States to be prepared by the secretary of the treasury, in such form and of such denominations, not less than one dollar nor more than one thous- and dollars, as he may prescribe, and a sum sufficient to carry into effect the provisions of this act is hereby appropriated out of any nK>ney in the treasury not otherwise appro- priated. Sec. 2. That the treasury notes issued in ac- cordance with the provisions of this act shall be redeemable on demand, in coin, at the treasury of the United States, or at the office of any assistant treasurer of the United States, and when so redeemed may be re- Issued, but no greater or less amount of such notes shall be outstanding at any time than the cost of the silver bullion and the stand- ard silver dollars coined therefrom, then held in the treasury purchased by such notes; and such treasury notes shall be a legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, except where otherwise expressly stipulated in the contract, and shall be receivable for customs, taxes, and all public dues, and when so received may be reissued; and such notes, when held by any national banking associa- tion, may be counted as a part of its lawful reserve. That upon demand of the holder of any of the treasury notes herein provided for the secretary of the treasury shall, under such regulations as he may prescribe, redeem such notes in gold or silver coin, at his dis- cretion, it being the established policy of the United States to maintain the two metals on a parity with each other upon the present legal ratio, or such ratio as may be provided by law. Sec. 3. That the secretary of the treasury shall each month coin two million ounces of the silver bullion purchased under the pro- visions of this act into standard silver dollars until July 1, 1891, and after that time he shall coin of the silver bullion purchased under the provisions of this act as much as may be necessary to provide for the redemption of the treasury notes herein provided for, and any gain or seigniorage arising from such coinage shall be accounted for and paid into the treasury. Sec. 4. That the silver bullion purchased under the provisions of this act shall be sub- ject to the requirements of existing law and the regulations of the mint service govern- ing the methods of determining the amount of pure silver contained and the amount of charges or deductions, if any, to be made. Sec. 5. That so much of the act of February 28, 1878, entitled "An act to authorize the coinage of the standard silver dollar and to restore its legal tender character," as requires the monthly purchase and coinage of the same into silver dollars of not less than $2,000,- 000, nor more than $4,000,000 worth of silver bullion, is hereby repealed. Sec. 6. That upon the passage of this act the balances standing with the treasurer of the United States to the respective credits of nat- ional banks for deposits made to redeem the circulating notes of such banks, and all de- posits thereafter received for like purpose, shall be covered into the treasury as a miscel- laneous receipt, and the treasury of the United States shall redeem from the general oash in the treasury the circulating notes of said banks which may come into his possession subject to redemption; and upon the certifi- cate of the comptroller of the currency that such notes have been received by him and that they have been destroyed and that no new notes will be issued in their place, re- imbursement of their amount shall be made to the treasurer, under such regulations as the secretary of treasury may prescribe, from an appropriation hereby created, to be known CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1892. as national bank notes: redemption account, but the provisions of this act shall not apply to the deposits received under section 3, of the act of June 30, 1874, requiring every nat- ional bank to keep in lawful money with the treasurer of the United States a sum equal to five per centum of its circulation, to be held and used for the redemption of its circulating notes; and the balance remaining of the de- posits so covered shall, at the close of each month, be reported on the monthly public debt statement as debt of the United States bearing no interest. Sec. f. That this act shall take effect thirty days from and after its passage. (Approved July 14, 1890.) This law is in the nature of a compromise, and as it is not satisfactory to either side it is more than probable that the end of the silver controversy is not yet, MONEY IN THE UNITED STATES.

History of the affair and the diplomatic correspondence following it. Prepared by William E. Curtis of the State Department. On the night of October 15, 1890, David C. Hennessey, chief of police in the City of New Orleans. La., was murdered in the street of that city. On the 13th of December fol- lowing, Antonio Scaffldi, Antonio Bagnetto, Antonio Marchesi. Pietro Monastero, Charles Traina, Manuel Politz, and Loretto Comitz were indicted as principals and James Caruso, Roco Gerachi, Frank Romero, and Joseph P/ Macheca as accessories before the fact. About the middle of February 1891 they were ar- raigned for trial. Nine of them were tried separately. On the 13th of March Bagnetto, Marchesi, and Macheca were found not guilty and in the cases of Scaffidi, Politz, and Monas- tero the jury failed to agree. The verdict was universally condemned in New Orleans as un- just and a meeting was called to be held at 10:30 o'clock a, m. on the 15th of March to take into consideration the vindication of the law. At the appointed hour a large crowd assembled and proceeded to the parish prison where the accused were confined and, forcing an entrance, shot them to death. Eleven were killed in all and besides those named above, who had been tried, were James Caruso, Loretto Comitz, Frank Romero and Raco Gerachi who were awaiting trial. On the 4th of December the secretary of state requested the attorney general to ascer- tain whether the persons indicted for the Hen- nessey murder were citizens of Italy or the United States. On the 20th of that month the U. S. District Attorney at New Orleans re- ported that of the persons indicted the fol- lowing were naturalized citizens of the United States: Antonio Bagnetto, John Caruso. James Caruso, Charles Matrauga, Antonio Marchesi, Antonio Scaffidi, Charles Pietzo, Joseph Macheca, Charles Potorno, Frank Ro- mero, and that Salvador Coscenso was regis- tered as a voter although there was no record of his naturalization. The following did not appear to have been naturalized: Asperl Marchese, Manuel Politz, Charles Trahani, Loretto Scovotis. Pietro Monastario. Pedro Martelli, Bastian Incardino, Salvator Sincen. Rocco Grachi. On the 15th of March 1891, Baron Fava the Italian minister at Washington informed Mr. Blaine that eleven of the prisoners had been murdered by a mob, and submitted a dispatch from the Marquis de Rudini, Italian minister of foreign affairs at Kome, demanding in the name of justice and civilization that the fed- eral administration interfere for the protection of the living prisoners, and the other members of the Italian colony in New Orleans. He de- manded also that the mob, and those who in- spired it be speedily brought to justice. Mr. Blaine at once telegraphed the governor of Louisiana deploring the massacre, express- ing the hope of the president that the subjects of a friendly power be furnished adequate protection, and that the leaders of the mob be promptly brought to justice. A telegram was at the same time sent to the United States minister to Rome instructing him to convey to the Italian government the profound horror and regret of the president and to assure it that every possible effort would be made to protect its subjects. Several dispatches of a similar character passed between Washington and Rome on the following date. Governor Nichols on the 16th of March in- CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1892. formed the secretary of state that there was no reason to apprehend further trouble, and that the action of the mob was directed against individuals and not against their race or nationality. Copies of the correspondence were telegraphed to Home. On the 18th of March Baron Fava handed the secretary of state a long statement of the massacre and the incidents that preceded it, and complained that the local authorities at New Orleans had been guilty of neglect of their duty. He also submitted a cablegram from the Marquis de Rudini directing him to apply for indemnity, as a declaration of re- gret on the part of the United States could not be accepted as reparation. On the 21st of March Baron Fava repeated the demand and submitted a cablegram from Rudini insisting upon an official assurance from the government of the United States that the persons guilty of the massacre had been brought to justice. He also insisted upon immediate indemnity. On the same date Mr. Blaine called upon Baron Fava for the names, and condition of Italian subjects murdered in New Orleans. On the 24th of March Baron Fava handed Mr. Blaine a cablegram from Rudini insisting that the demand of the Italian government for the punishment of the mob, and indem- nity for their victim s must be complied with or he would be under the painful necessity of recalling the Italian minister from a country where he is unable to obtain justice. On the following day Rudini telegraphed: " I cannot admit further delay." On the same day Baron Fava submitted a statement from the consul at New Orleans showing that three of the per- sons murdered were citizens of Italy, and that six had only declared their intention to be naturalized. On the 26th of March Baron Fava sent a note to Mr. Blaine by his secre- tary requesting an immediate answer to the demand of Rudini. In the meantime Mr. Blaine instructed the United States minister at Rome to explain to the Italian government the dual character of the government of the United States and the necessity of a thorough investigation of the circumstances of the mas- sacre before a proper answer could be made to the demands of the Marquis de Rudini. On the 31st of March Baron Fava again called the attention of Mr. Blaine to the de- mands of the Italian government, and in- sisted upon the assurance (1) that the guilty parties should be punished, and (2) that the principle that indemnity was due to the fam- ilies of the victims should be recognized by the United States. As the secretary of state had in an Interview declined to give this as- surance, Baron Fava announced his with- drawal from Washington under the instruc- tion of his government. On the following day Mr. Blaine replied to this communication, ex- pressing regret at the departure of Baron Fava for which he was unable to see " ade- quate reasons," and continuing as follows: " The cause of sundering his diplomatic re- lations with this government " said Mr. Blaine "Is thus given in his note: " ' The reparation demanded by the govern- ment of the king, as I have had the honor to inform you in our interviews held during the last few days, was to consist of the following points: ' "'(l)The official assurance by the federal government that the guilty parties should be brought to justice.' " ' (2) The recognition, in principle, that an indemnity is due to the relatives of the vic- tims.' " The first demand thus stated by Baron Fava is slightly changed in phrase from that employed by him in his many verbal requests based on a telegram from the Marquis Rudini which he left with me. The Marquis Rudini declared that 'Italy's right to demand and to obtain the punishment of the murderers and an indemnity for the victims is unquestion- able.' It is inferred that Baron Fava's change of phrase meant no change of de- mand. " I have endeavored to impress upon him, in the several personal interviews with which he has honored me, that the government of the United States is utterly unable to give the assurance which the Marquis Rudini has de- manded. Even if the national government had the entire jurisdiction over the alleged murderers, it could not give assurance to any foreign power that they should be punished. The president is unable to see how any gov- ernment could justly give an assurance of this character in advance of investigation or trial. " In the constitution of the United States it is declared that: In all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed. " It needs no argument to prove that a jury could not be impartial if it were in any sense, or to any degree, bound, before the trial of the accused, by an assurance which the presi- dent of the United States had ventured to give to a foreign power. " In the constitution of the state of Louisi- ana, under whose immediate jurisdiction the crimes were committed, substantially the same provision is found; so that the governor of that state would be as unable to give a pledge in advance for the result of a trial un- der state law as the president wouid be were it practicable to try the leaders of the mob under the laws of the United States. " In Baron Fava's second point he demands the recognition, in principle, that an indem- nity is due to the relatives of the victims. He is assuredly under a grave error when he de- clares that the United States government de- clined to take this demand into consideration, and I shall regret if he has communicated such a conclusion to your government. The United States, so far from refusing, has dis- tinctly recognized the principle of indemnity to those Italian subjects who may have been wronged by a violation of the rights secured to them under the treaty with the United States concluded February 26, 1871. "I have repeatedly given to Baron Fava the assurance that, under the direction of the president, all the incidents connected with the unhappy tragedy at New Orleans on the 14th of March last should be most thoroughly investigated. I have also informed him that in a matter of such gravity the government of the United States would not permit itself to be unduly hurried; nor will it make answer to any demand until every fact essential to a correct judgment shall have been fully ascer- tained through legal authority. The impa- tience of the aggrieved may be natural, but its indulgence does not always secure the most substantial justice. 'Accept, etc., JAMES G. BLAIXE." Under date of April 1, Mr. Porter the United States minister at Rome informed the depart- ment of state that while the Italian govern- ment understood the division between the federal and state jurisdictions in criminal cases under the constitution of the United States, the ministry was not satisfied that the federal authority was making as strenuous efforts to bring the murderers to justice as the circum- stances required; that parliament was to meet on the 14th: and that being a coalition ministry it dreaded criticism for lack of vigor, wanted to be armed by some assurance from President Harrison that the perpetrators of THE NEW ORLEANS MASSACRE. 87 the crime would certainly be brought to justice. On the following day the Marquis Imperial!, first secretary of the Italian legation lur- nished Mr.Blaine with a copy of a dispatch from Rudini, saying: "The government of the king of Italy has asked nothing beyond the prompt institution of judicial proceedings through the regular channels. It would have been absurd to claim the punishment of the guilty parties without the warrant of a regular judgment. The Italian government now repeats the same demand. Not until the federal government shall have explicitly declared that the fore- said proceedings shall be promptly begun can the diplomatic incident be considered as closed. Meanwhile his majesty's government takes note of the declaration whereby the federal government recognizes that an in- demnity i3 due to the families of the victims in virtue of the treaty in force between the two countries." To this Mr. Elaine replied: "This govern- ment certainly had no desire whatever to change the meaning of the Marquis Rudini's telegram of March 24. It was delivered at the state department by Baron Fava in per- son, written in his own hand, and expressed in the English language. The following is the full text of the telegram: "ROME, March 24, 1891. Italian Minister, Washington: Our requests to the federal gov- ernment are very simple. Some Italian sub- jects, acquitted by the American magistrates, have been murdered in prison while under the immediate protection of the authorities. Our rirjht, therefore, to demand and obtain the pun- ixhment of the murderers and an indemnity for the victims is unquestionable. I wish to add that the public opinion in Italy is justly impa- tient, and, if concrete provisions were not at once taken, I should find myself in the painful necessity of showing openly our dissatisfac- tion by recalling the minister of his majesty from a country where he is unable to obtain justice. [Signed] RUDINI.' "The words underscored are precisely those which I quoted In my former note; and 1 am directed by the president to express the satis- faction of this goverement with the very ma- terial qualification of the demand made by the Marquis Rudini on behalf of the Italian government. "You quote in your note another part of the Marquis Rudini's telegram of April 2 in these words: '"Meanwhile his majesty 'sgovernment takes note of the declaration whereby the federal government recognizes that an indemnity is due to the families of the victims in virtue of the treaty fa. force between the two countries.' "If the Marquis Rudini will carefully exam- ine my note of April 1 he will discover that I did not 'recognize that an'indemnity is due to the families of the victims in virtue of the treaty in force between the two countries.' What I did say was in answer to Baron Fava's assertion that the United States government refused to take this demand for indemnity into consideration. I quote my reply: 'The United States, so far from refusing, has dis- tinctly recognized the principle of indemnity to those Italian subjects who may have been wronged by a violation of the rights secured, to them under the treaty with the United States concluded February 26, lv:i.' ''The Marquis Rudini maybe assured that the United States would recompense every Italian subject who might 'be wronged by the violation of a treaty' to which the faith of the United States is pledged. But this assurance leaves unsettled the important question whether the treaty has been violated. Upon this point the president, with sufficient facts placed before him, has taken full time for de- cision. He now directs that certain consider- ations on the general subject be submitted to the judgment of the Italian government. "As a precedent of great value to the case under discussion, the president recalls the conclusion maintained by Mr. Webster in 1851, when he was secretary of state under Presi- dent Fillmore. In August of that year a mob in New Orleans demolished the building in which the office of the Spanish consul was lo- cated, and at the same time attacks were made upon coffee-houses and cigar shops kept by Spanish subjects. American citizens were in- volved in the losses, which, in the aggregate, were large. The supposed cause of the mob was the intelligence of the execution of fifty young Americans in Havana and the banish- ment to Spanish mines of nearly two Hundred citizens of the United States. The victims were all members of the abortive Lopez ex- pedition. "In consequence of these depredations of the mob upon the property of the Spanish consul, as well as against the Spanish sub- jects, Don Caideron de la Barca, the minister of Spain, demanded indemnification for all the losses, botlrbfficial and personal. "Mr. Webster admitted that the Spanish consul was entitled to Indemnity, and assured the Spanish minister that if the injured con- sul, Mr. Laborde, shall return to his post, or any other consul for New Orleans shall be ap- pointed by her catholic majesty's govern- ment, the officers of this government resident in that city will be instructed to receive and treat him with courtesy and with a national salute to the flag of his ship, if he shall arrive in a Spanish vessel as a demonstration of re- spect, such as may signify to him and to his government the sense entertained by the gov- ernment of the United States of the gross in- justice done to his predecessor by a lawless mob, as well as the indignity and insult offered by it to a foreign state with which the United States are, and wish ever to remain, on terms of the most respectful and pacific intercourse. "But when pressed bv the Spanish minister to afford indemnity to Spanish subjects in- jured by the mob in common with American citizens, Mr. Webster declined to accede to the demand and gave his reasons as follows: 'This government supposes that the rights of the Spanish consul, a public officer residing here under the protection of the United States government, are quite different from those of the Spanish subjects who have come into the country to mingle with our own citizens and here to pursue their private business and ob- jects. The former may claim special in- demnity; the latter are entitled to such pro- tection as is afforded to our own citizens. While, therefore, the losses of individuals, private Spanish subjects, are greatly to be re- gretted, yet it is understood that many Ameri- can citizens suffered equal losses from the same cause; and these private individuals, subjects of her catholic majesty, coming vol- untarily to reside in the United States, have certainly no cause of complaint if they are protected by the same laws and the same ad- ministration of law as native-born citizens of this country. They have, in fact, some ad- vantages over citizens of the state in which they happen to be, inasmuch as they are ena- bled, until they become citizens themselves, to prosecute for any Injuries done to their persons or property in the courts of the United States or the state courts, at their election.' "It is proper, however, to add that two years after Mr. Webster wrote ttie foregoing note to congress, in recognition of certain magnani- mous conduct on the part of the queen of Spain in pardons bestowed on Americans who had unjustifiably invaded the island of Cuba, enacted a joint resolution, approved by Presi- CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1892. dent Fillmore March 3, 1853, the last day of his term, indemnifying the Spanish consul and other Spanish subjects, for the losses sus- tained in the New Orleans mob of 1851. The considerations upon which this resolution was passe 1 were held not to contravene the original position of Mr. Webster, shared also by President Fillmore. "The right to judicial remedy which Mr. Webster assured to the Spanish subjects is likewise assured to the Italian subjects. The pecially guaranteed in thi section of the third article of the constitution. right Is si And, as Mr. Webster points out, the resident alien has a privilege which is denied to the citizen. The widows and children of the citi- zens who lost their lives by mob violence may sue the leaders and members of the mob only in the courts of the state of Louisiana, while the widows and children of the Italian sub- jects who suffered death have the right to sue each member of the mob, not only in the state courts, but also before the federal tribunals for the district of Louisiana. "Provision is made in the revised civil code of Louisiana for redress of such grievances as the widows and children of the victims of the mob may plead. 1 quote: " 'ARTICLE 2314. Every act whatever of man that causes damage to another obliges him by whose fault it happened to repair it. The right of this action shall survive, in case of death, in favor of the minor children and widow of the deceased, or either of them, and, in default of these, in favor of the surviving father or mother, or either of them, for the space of one year from the death.' "'ART. 231d. Every person is responsible for the damage he occasions, not merely by his act, but by his negligence, his imprudence or his want of skill.' '"ART. 2324. He who causes another person to do an unlawful act, or assists or encourages in the commission of it, is answerable in solido with that person for the damage caused by such act.' "The government of the United States would feel justified in resting on the argu- ment and conclusion of Mr. Webster if the mob of March 14, 1891, did not. in some of its characteristics, differ from the mob of 1851. But it is due to entire candor, due to this gov- ernment and due to the government of Italy to point out certain differences of which the government of the United States is honora- bly bound to take notice. In the case of the mob of 1851 Mr. Webster asserts that 'no per- sonal injury was offered to anyone;' that 'the police and other legal authorities did all that was possible to preserve the peace and arrest the rioters;' that 'the mob acted in the heat of blood and not in pursuance of any prede- termined plan or purpose of injury or insult;' that 'the mob was composed of irresponsible persons, the names of none of whom are known to the government of the United States, nor, so far as the government is informed, to its officers in New Orleans.' "As promptly as possible after the lamenta- ble occurrence at New Orleans the president directed the attorney-general to cause through his department a full inquiry to be made into all facts connected therewith, and solic- ited his opinion whether any criminal pro- ceedings would lie under the federal laws in the federal courts against persons charged with the killing of Italian subjects. He has not yet received the official report. If it be found that a prosecution can be maintained under the statutes of the United States, the case will be presented to the next grand jury according to the usual methods of criminal administration. But if it shall be found, as seems probable, that criminal proceedings can only be taken in the courts of Louisi-ma, the president can in this direction do no more than to urge upon the state officers the duty of promptly bringing the offenders to trial. This was done in his telegram to the governor of Louisiana as early as March 15. If it shall re- sult that the case can be prosecuted only in the state courts of Louisiana, and the usual judicial investigation and procedure under the criminal law is not resorted to, it will then be the duty of the United States to consider whether some other form of redress may be asked. It is understood that the state grand jury is now investigating the affair, and while it is possible that the jury may fail to present indictments, the United States cannot assume that such will be the case. "The United States did not by the treaty with Italy become the insurer of the lives or property of Italian subjects resident within our territory. No government is able, how- ever high its civilization, however vigilant its police supervision, however severe its crim- inal code, and however prompt and inflexible its criminal administration, to secure its own citizens against violence promoted by individ- ual malice or by sudden popular tumult. The foreign resident must be content in such cases to share the same redress that is offered by the law to the citizen; and has no just cause of complaint or right to ask the interposition of his country if the courts are equally open to him for the redress of his injuries. "The treaty, in the first, second, third, and, notably, in the twenty-third articles, clearly limits the rights guaranteed to the citizens of the contracting powers in the territory of each to equal treatment and to free access to the courts of justice. Foreign residents are not made a favored class. It is not believed that Italy would desire a more stringent construc- tion of her duty under the treaty. Where the injury inflicted upon a foreign resident is not the act of the government or of its officers, but of an individual or of a mob, it is believed that no claim for indemnity can justly be made, unless it shall be made to appear that the public authorities charged with the peace of the community have connived at the un- lawful act, or, having timely notice of the threatened danger, have been guilty of such gross negligence in taking the necessary pre- cautions as to amount to connivance. "If, therefore, it should appear that among those killed by the mob at New Orleans there were some Italian subjects who were resident or domiciled in that city, agreeably to our treaty with Italy and not in violation of our immigration laws, and who were abiding in the Eeace of the United States and obeying the iws thereof and of the state of Louisiana. and that the public officers charged with the duty of protecting life and property in that city connived at the work of the mob, or. upon proper notice or information of the threat- ened danger, failed to take any steps for the preservation of the public peace and after- ward to bring the guilty to trial, the presi- dent would, under such circumstances, feel that a case was established that should be submitted to the consideration of congress with a view to the relief of the families of the Italian subjects who had lost their lives by lawless violence. Accept, etc., "JAMs G. BLAINE " On the 28th of April the United States attor- ney at New Orleans, under instructions from the attorney general, submitted a lengthy re- port of the indictment, trial and murder of the Italians, with a brief biography of each, and all the evidence that could be obtained concerning their nativity and citizenship. This report shows that Charles Traina, Lo- retta Comitz and Pietro Monastero only of all the victims were not citizens of the United States, or had not filed a declaration of their THE NEW ORLEANS MASSACRE. 89 intention to become such. He also submitted evidence of the existence of a secret society organized for the purpose of crime; also a list of assassinations, ninety-four in number, which were alleged to have been committed by members of this society. On the 3d of May Marquis Rudini addressed the following to the Italian charge d' affaires at Washington, which was not transmitted to the secretary of state but was published in the newspapers: "I have now before me a note addressed to you by Secretary Blalne April 14. Its perusal produces a most painful impression upon me. I will not stop to lay stress upon the lack of conformity with diplomatic usages displayed in making use. as Mr. Blaine did not hesitate to do, of a portion of a telegram of mine com- municated to him in strict confidence, in order to get rid of a question clearly defined in our official documents, which alone possess a diplomatic value; nor will I stop to point out the reference in this telegram of mine of March 24 that the words 'punishment of the guilty' in the brevity of telegraphic language actually signified only that prosecution ought to be commenced in order that the individuals recognized as guilty should not escape pun- 'shment. 'Far above all astute arguments remains the fact that henceforth the federal govern- ment declares itself conscious of what we have constantly asked and yet it does not grant our legitimate demands. " Mr. Blaine is right when he makes the pay- ment of indemnity to the families of the vic- tims dependent upon proof of the violation of the treaty; but we shrink from thinking that tie considers that the fact of such violation still needs proof. Italian subjects acquitted by American juries were massacred in prisons of the state without measures being taken to defend them. What other proof does the federal gov- ernment expect of a violation of a treaty wherein constant protection and security of subjects of the contracting parties is expressly stipulated? " We have placed on evidence that we have never asked anything else but the opening of regular proceedings. In regard to this, Baron Java's first note, dated March 15, contained even the formula of the telegram addressed on the same day by Mr. Blaine. under the order of President Harrison, to the governor of Louisiana. Now. however, in the note of April 14 Mr. Blaine is silent on the subject American Telescopes. The twelve largest refracting telescopes are those of the Lick Observatory, with an apert- ure of 36 inches, Yale University, 28; United States Naval, 2f>; Leander McCorinick, 2>; Princeton, 23; Denver, 20; Smithsonian. 2J; Dearborn, 18.5; Carleton College. Ki.2: War- ner, 16; Washington, 15.5, and Harvard, 15. The largest reflecting telescopes are those of Harvard College. 28 inches, and the Rev. Dr. John Peate, 22. Dr. Peate, who is an amateur maker, has finished a 31!^ inch silver-on-glass mirror, which will be presented to the Alle- gheny college at Meadville. When mounted t will be the largest reflecting telescope in this country. There are numerous reflectors made by Brashear from nine to twelve inches n diameter. The Clarks have ground an ob- ject glass of forty inches for a telescope to be mounted in an observatory yet to be built on Mount Wilson, in Southern California. Though the Lick Observatory possesses the largest telescope at present. Harvard col- lege has the best equipped observatory for general astronomical work in America, and one of the best in the world. which is, for us, the main point of contro- versy. " We are under the sad necessity of con- cluding that what to every other government would be the accomplishment of simple duty is impossible to the federal government. It is time to break off the bootless controversy. Public opinion, the sovereign judge, will know how to indicate an equitable solution of this grave problem. " We have affirmed, and we again affirm, i our right. Let the federal government reflect upon its side if it is expedient to leave to the mercy of each state of the Union, irresponsi- j ble to foe<0n countries, the efficiency of treaties pledging its faith and honor to entire nations. " The present dispatch is addressed to you ] exclusively, not to the federal government. " Your dut'es henceforth are solely re- stricted to dealing with current business." On the day of the publication of the above document, Mr. Blaine called it to the atten- , tion of the American minister at Rome, and after quoting the first paragraph, said: " The intimation of the Marquis Rudini that the telegram in question was delivered in | strict confidence is a total error. As the tele- gram expressed the demand of the Italian i government, it was impossible that Marquis 1 Rudini could transmit it in strict confidence. | As I have already stated, it was communi- cated to me in person by Baron Fava, written in English in his own handwriting, without a suggestion of privacy and the telegram itself has not a single mark upon it denoting a con- fidential character. I have caused a number of copies of the telegram to be forwarded to you to-day in facsimile. The usual mark for italic printing was used by me under four lines, and they appear in the copies. You will use the facsimiles in such manner as will most effectually prove the error into which the Marquis Rudini has fallen. BLAINE." This closed the correspondence between the United States and the Italian government. On the 19th of May the attorney-general of the United States forwarded to the secretary of state a copy of the report of the grand jury as to the murder of the prisoners in the par- ish jail, to which is appended the report of the committee of fifty citizens on the exist- j ence of secret societies in New Orleans, i Both these reports show with reasonable : conclusiveness that the jury that tried the pris- j oners had been tampered with by the friends of the prisoners and that the tria'l was a trav- esty on justice. Northern Explorations. The most northern point ever attained by man was reached by Lieut. James B. Lock- wood, a member of the American Lady Frank- lin Bay Expedition, who May 13, 1882, stood under 83:28:8 N. He was accompanied by Sergt. Brainard, who in his Held notes says: "We have reached a higher latitude than ever before reached by mortal man, and on a land farther north than was supposed by many to exist. We unfurled the glorious stars and stripes to the exhilarating northern , breezes with an exultation impossible to de- scribe." For three centuries England had held the honors of the farthest north.

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

Under the direction of the inter- national committee two ingots were cast of pure platinum-iridtum in the proportion of nine parts of the former to one of the latter metal. From one of these a certain number of kilo- grammes were prepared, from the other a definite number of meter bars. These standards of weight and length were intercompared, without preference, and certain ones were selected as international prototype standards. The others were distributed by lot to the different govern- ments and are called national prototype standards. Those apportioned to the United States are in the keeping of this office. The metric system was legalized in the United States in 1866. The international standard meter is derived from the meter des archives, and Its length is defined by the distance between two lines at centigrade, on a platinum-iridium bar deposited at the international bureau of weights and measures. The international standard kilogramme is a mass of platinum-iridium deposited at the same place, and its weight in vacuo is the same as that of the kilogramme des archives. The liter is equal to a cubic decimeter of water, and it is measured by the quantity of dis- tilled water which, at its maximum density, will counterpoise the standard kilogramme In a vacuum, the volume of such a quantity of water being, as nearly as has been ascertained, equal to a cubic decimeter. 42 CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1892.

The territory of Alaska has been valuable . for its seal fisheries. In 179: the territory was | granted by Russia to the Russo-American Fur Company which grant extended to 1S39. This company established a station or settlement at New Archangel, one of the Alaskan islands, and annually exported about 25,000 skins of the seal, sea otter, beaver and other fur-bear- ing animals. In 1867 the whole Russian pos- sessions in America were ceded to the United States, and on the 9th of October in that year our government took formal possession of the territory, paying therefor $7,200,000. The seal fisheries continued to grow more valu- able, ana to prevent the total extinction of the seals, congress, in 1868, placed Alaska un- der the jurisdiction of the treasury depart- ment, and in the same act forbade the killing, except by the permission of the department, of any mink, marten, sable, or fur-seal, or other fur-bearing animal in the territory of Alaska or in the waters thereof. The Priby- lov Islands of St. Paul and St. George, which are the breeding grounds of the seals, were leased to the Alaska Commercial Company of San Francisco at an annual rental of $60,000 with a royalty ol $2 on every seal-skin shipped. The number permitted to be killed is 100.000 each year. With tbe increase of population on the Paciflccoast the difficulty of preserving the seals from destruction became greatly in- creased. Vessels from British Columbia hov- ered around the seal islands, and found many [ ways of securing cargoes of seal-skins which | the Alaska Company and the government could not prevent. American vessels also engaged in the forbidden traffic, and it be- came evident unless this poaching could be stopped that the total extinction of the seal was a matter of a very few years. In 1S76 the United States government sent cruisers to the Bering sea to stop such dep- redations, and since then a more or less effective policing of those islands and waters has been maintained. The Indians, however, carried on an illicit traffic in fur skins which it was impossible to check. They would stalk and harpoon the seals on the islands, and take the skins in their boats out to sea, ex- changing them with vessels engaged in the business, for money or whisky. In order to stop this business the treasury department in 1886 attempted to enforce the doctrine that the Bering sea was a mare clausum, and that the United States had jurisdiction over one- half of it. There is no doubt but that Russia had always maintained this doctrine, and that Great Britain had once admitted it, but in 1822 when Russia again attempted to claim sovereignty over the sea, both the United States and Great Britain raised a strong pro- test against the claim that any nation could assert territorial jurisdiction over a sea hav- ing an entrance more than 1000 miles in width. When, therefore, our own government made* the same claim to jurisdiction that it had dis- puted when made by Russia, Great Britain again protested and used the same argu- ments against the claim that the United States had used when it was made by Russia in 1822. The revenue cutter "Corwin" was sent to the Bering sea, and its commander was in- structed to seize all sealers found east of a line drawn from between the Diomede Islands, in Bering sea.straight in a south-west- erly direction to a point equi-distant from Copper, and Otter Islands in the Aleutian group. In 1S86 the British schooners Carolina, Onward, and Thornton were capturod and taken to S-itka. A trial was held, the vessels were condemned, the masters fined and the seal-skins on board were confiscated and sent to San Francisco. The British government at once made a demand for the release of the prisoners and presented a claim against the United States of about $160,000 for loss of property, damages, etc. In January 1887 the president directed the authorities of Alaska to release unconditionally the imprisoned men and to surrender the vessels and prop- erty. The order was not complied with until September. The treasury department, how- ever, did not revoke its instructions to com- manders of naval vessels in those waters but dispatched the "Rush" with the same instruc- tions. In tbe summer of 1887 the "Rush" seized the British vessels Dolphin, Annie Beck, W. P. Saywood, Grace and Alfred Ad- ams besides seven American sealers, at vari- ous* distances from the shore, of from thirty to seventy miles. The British vessels were again released. In 1889 a bill passed congress to provide for the better protection of the Alaskan fisheries, but in the law as passed the government tac- itly receded from its claim that the Bering sea was a mare clausum. Arbitration of the whole subject was proposed and practically accepted. In the meantime the season was approaching when the animals seek the islands, and arbitration could not be com- pleted in time to prevent the indiscriminate slaughter of seals by poachers. A modus vivendi was proposed to meet the pressing difficulty, and accepted. The correspondence which resulted in the adoption of the modus vivendi began with a letter from Secretary Elaine dated May 4, 1891, to the British minis- ter. Sir Julian Panncefote, to which a reply was made June 3. The whole correspond- ence includes eleven letters which passed be- tween the diplomates between that date and June 13. Some of these letters were of much importance, since the negotiators differed about several points of interest. The nego- tiations were concluded finally on the 15th of June 1891, on which date the president issued a proclamation making public the terms of the agreement finally reached on that day. The rapidity with which the latter steps in the negotiation were made is unusual in diplo- matic affairs and was only rendered possible by the free use of the cable. The agreement finally concluded is signed by Acting Secretary of State Wharton, who has conducted the concluding correspondence, and Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British minis- ter. The terms of the convention are as fol- lows: Agreement between the government of the United States and the government of Her Britannic Majesty for a modus vivendi in re- lation to the fur-seal fisheries in Bering sea. For the purpose of avoiding irritating dif- ferences and with a view to promote the friendly settlement of the questions pending between the two governments touching their respective rights in Bering sea, and for the preservation of the seal species, the following agreement is made without prejudice to the rights or claims of either party: 1. Her Majesty's government will prohibit, until May next, seal killing in that part of Bering sea lying eastward of the line of demarcation described in article Xo. 1 of the treaty of 1867 between the United States and Russia; and wiil promptly use its best efforts to insure the observance of this prohibition by British subjects nnd vessels. 2. The United States government will pro- hibit seal killing for the same period in the same part of Boring sea and on the shores and islanrls thereof, the property of the United States (in excess of 7,500 to be taken CREED REVISION. 45 on the islands for the subsistence and care of the natives), and* will promptly use its best efforts to insure the observance of this pro- hibition by United States citizens and vessels. 3. Every vessel or person offending against this prohibition in the said waters of Bering sea. outside of the ordinary territorial limits of the United States, may be seized and de- tained by the naval or other duly commis- sioned officers of either of the high contract- ing parties, but they shall be handed over as soon as practicable to the authorities of the nation to which they respectively belong, who shall alone have jurisdiction to try the offense and impose the penalties for the same. The witnesses and proofs necessary to estab- lish the offense shall also be sent with them. 4. In order to facilitate such proper inqui- ries as Her Majesty's government may desire to make, with a view to the presentation of the case of that government before arbitra- tors, and in expectation that an agreement for arbitration may be arrived at, it is agreed that suitable persons designated by Great Britain will be permitted at any time, upon application, to visit or to remain upon the seal islands during the present sealing season for that purpose. The agreement reached is the result of sug- gestions made and modifications accepted on both sides, but in regard to substantial mat- ters the United States succeeded in carrying its points. One of the matters about which a difference of opinion arose was in regard to the participation of Russia in the agreement to be adopted, a point which was urged by Sir Julian Pauncefote in his proposal of June 3, madein reply to Secretary Elaine's note of May 4. Sir Julian proposed an agreement for a close season, with the limitation that the agreement should not go into operation unless Russia should assent to it. This was declared by Assistant Secretary Wharton to present an insuperable difficulty, inasmuch as Russia had never asserted any rights in the waters in question affecting the subject matter of the contention, and ne said that an insistance upon it would be construed as a practical withdrawal from the negotiations for a modus Vivendi. This condition was withdrawn by cabled instructions from Lord Salisbury to the British minister. In a proposed modification of the terms of an agreement suggested by Assistant Secre- tary Wharton, Lord Salisbury suggested that a joint commission of experts should be ap- pointed to report upon the question what inter-arrangements, if any, between Great Britain and the United States and Russia, or any other power, are necessary for the pur- pose of preserving the fur-seal race in the northern Pacific ocean. In reply to this prop- osition the state department declared that it regarded this as one of the incidents of the agreement for arbitration and to have no proper place in the proposals for a modus Vivendi. On being pressed for prompt action, Lord Salisbury finally gave the British min- ister at Washington the requisite authority to sign the agreement in the shape which it finally took, but with the understanding that a joint commission should be appointed with- out delay, a condition to which the state de- partment readily agreed. The appointment of a joint high commission to consider per- manent measures for preventing the extinc- tion of seal life will, therefore, be made with- out unnecessary delaj . The discussion now going on in the presby- terian church regarding the revision of its confession of faith is of interest not only to the adherents of that church but to the great body of Christians in the United States irre- spective of denominational affiliations. The common idea is that creed revision is only another name for the abandonment of truths once held to be essential, and that it implies the surrender of unpopular beliefs in re- sponse to a demand for liberalism inside, as well as outside, of the church itself. Nothing could be much further from the truth. The period of greatest power and accomplish- ment in the Christian church was during the three centuries succeeding the death of the Savior, and during that whole period the sim- >licity of the creed was a tower of strength. t was practically what is now known as the apostle's creed. The increase of churches and of philosophic thought caused disputes as to the construction and meaning of biblical statements which resulted in divisions into sects Each band of Christians that left some parent church proceeded to particularize the cause of its secession and to emphasize its peculiar tenets, which it incorporated into its creed as a badge of its distinctive belief. In this way the creeds of churches have become encumbered with many dogmas which, while they may be true, are liable to be misunder- stood and have not the authority of "Thus saith the Lord" for being made a test of Christianity. Creed revision is, therefore, not the surrender of anybody of Christian truth, but the giving up of tenets, easily misunder- stood, not held to be essential by the early church it is a return to first principles of Christianity rather than a letting down in any of the essentials of early Christian faith and practice. There are many truths in mathe- CREED REVISION. What it is and how it is being accomplished. matics that have no place in the multiplica- tion table and there are also many truths, held by all Christians to be divine, that have no place in a church creed, and creed revision is the withdrawal of such non-essential truths from the confession of faith. In the nature of the case it is difficult to in- dicate definitely the beginning of any great movement of religious thought, but we may say, in general, that by the year 1887 the ques- tion of revision had.become prominent in the presbyterian church in the United States of America. The presbytery of Long Island took the initiative in communicating with other presbyteries upon the subject, with the result that when the general assembly con- vened in New York City in 1889, overtures were sent to it from fifteen presbyteries asking for some revision of the confession of faith upon the ground that in the opinion of "many of our ministers and people" some forms of statement contained therein were "liable to misunderstanding and exposed the system of doctrine to unmerited criticism." Upon this the assembly of 1889 submitted two questions to all the presbyteries: 1. Do you desire a revision of the confession of faith ? 2. If so, in what respects and to what extent? The answers to these questions were returned to the next assembly, convened at Saratoga in IS'.O, when it appeared that 134 presbyteries had answered "yes" to the first question. A committee was then appointed, consist- ing of fifteen ministers and ten elders, to be known as "The Assembly's Committee on the I Revision of the Confession of Faith, business it should be to formulate and report to the assembly of 1891, at Detroit, such alter- i ations and amendments to the confession of CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1892. faith as in their judgment might be deemed advisable. Inasmuch, however, as sixty-eight presby- teries had answered - 'no" to the first of the above questions, and sixty-nine presbyteries of those answering "yes" had expressly said that they desired "no change in the confes- sion of faith that should impair the integ- rity of the system of doctrine taught therein," the committee on revision was instructed not to propose any alterations or amendments that should in any way impair the integrity of the reformed or Calviuistic system of doc- trine taught in the confession. At the meeting of the general assembly in Detroit in 1891 the following alterations, amendments and additions which the revis- ion committee on the confession of faith had prepared to recommend to the general assem- blv were submitted. It is the result of the labors of a committee composed of theolog- ical professors, college presidents, pastors and elders, chosen from the factions which fa- vored revision and also from those whoop- posed it. The new version precedes the old as here printed, the new being leaded. Words in the new statement inclosed in quotation marks are additions to the received text. William C. Roberts was chairman of the re- vision committee and Wm. E. Moore secretary. CHAPTEK I. OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURE. V.

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

From this original corruption, whereby we are utterly indisposed, disabled and made opposite to all good, and wholly inclined to all evil, do proceed all actual transgressions. CHAPTER VII. OF Go'S COVENANT WITH MAN. III. Man by his fall, having made himself incapable of life by that covenant, the Lord was pleased to make a second, commonly called the covenant of grace, wherein he freely offereth "by his word and spirit" unto sinners life and salvation by Jesus Christ, re- quiring of them faith in him that they may be saved, and promising to give unto all those that are ordained unto life his holy spirit to make them willing and able to believe. III. Man by his fall, having made himself incapable of life by that covenant, the Lord was pleased to make a second, commonly called the covenant of grace, wherein he freely offereth unto sinners life and salvation by Jesus Christ, requiring of them faith in him that they might be saved, and promising to give unto all those that are ordained unto life his holy spirit to make them willing and able to believe. Section IV was stricken out; section V be- comes section IV. The words in the last line, "and is called the Old Testament," were stricken out. IV. This covenant was differently adminis- tered in the time of the law and in the time of the gospel, under the law it was administered by promises, prophecies, sacrifices, circumcis- ion, the paschal lamb and other types and ordinances delivered to the people of the Jews, all fore-signifying Christ to come, which were for that time sufficient and efficacious, through the operation of the spirit, to instruct and build up the elect in faith in the promised Messiah, by whom they had full remission of sins and eternal salvation. IV. This covenant of grace is frequently set forth in the Scripture by the name of a testa- ment in reference to the death of Jesus Christ, the testator, and to the everlasting inher- itance, with all things belonging to it, therein bequeathed. Section VI becomes section V. In line nine the words, "and is called the New Testa- ment," were stricken out. V. Under the gospel, when Christ, the sub- stance, was exhibited, the ordinances, in which this covenant is dispensed, are the preaching of the word and the administration of the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's supper, which, though few in number, and adminis- tered with more simplicity and less outward glory, yet in them it is held forth in more full- ness, evidence and spiritual efficacy to all na- tions, both Jews and Gentiles. There are not, therefore, two covenants of grace differing in substance, but one and the same under va- rious dispensations. CHAPTER VHI. OF CHRIST THE MEDIATOR. V. The Lord Jesus, by his perfect obedience and sacrifice of himself, which he through the eternal spirit once offered up unto God, hath fully satisfied "divine" justice and pur- chased not only reconciliation but an ever- lasting inheritance in the kingdom of heaven for all those whom the Father hath given unto him. The chapter, "Of the Work of the Holy Spirit," becomes chapter IX. V. The Lord Jesus, by his perfect obedience and sacrifice of himself, which he through the eternal spirit once offered up unto God, hath fully satisfied the justice of his Father and purchased not only reconciliation but an everlasting inheritance in the kingdom of heaven for all those whom the Father hath given unto him. CHAPTER IX. OF THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. I. The Holy Spirit, the third person in the trinity, being very and eternal God, the same in substance with the Father and the Son, and equal in power and glory(l), is together with the Father and Son to be believed in, loved, obeyed and worshiped throughout all ages(2). (1) Matt. ,3: 16-17; 28: 19; John 14, 16-17; I Cor., 2: 11. (2)11 Cor., 13: 14; Gal., 5: 22,25; Eph.,4:4-6; Heb., 9; 14. II. The Holy Spirit, who of old revealed to men in various ways the mind and will of God, hath fully and authoritatively made known this mind and will in all things per- taining to life and salvation in the sacred Scriptures(l), holy men of God speaking therein as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (2), and these Scriptures, being so in- spired, are the infallible word of God, the supreme rule of faith and duty(3). (1) I Cor., 2: 10-13; Heb., 1: 1-2; John, 16: 13. (2) Acts, 1: 16; II Tim., 3: 15-16; II Peter, 1:21. (3)1 Thess., 2; 13; John, 5: 39; Col. ,3: 16. III. The Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, is everywhere present among men. con- firming the teachings of nature and the law of God written on the heart, restraining from evil and inciting to good, and is the source of all the wisdom, virtue and reverence for God found in men, and of all the peace and good order in society, thus preparing the way for the gospel wherever it is preached(l). He everywhere accompanies the gospel with his persuasive energy and urges its passage upon the unregenerate, enlightening their minds concerning divine things, quickening their consciences and drawing them by his grace so that they who reject the merciful offer of the gospel are not only without excuse but are also guilty of resisisting the Holy spirit (2). (1) Joel, 2: 28; John 1:9; Rev., 22:17; Rom., 10:18; Rom.,1: 19,20; 2.14,15. (2) John, 16: 8; Isa., 63: 10; Acts, 2: 16-18; Acts, 7: 51; 24: 25; Heb., 10: 29. IV. The Holy Spirit is the only efficient 48 CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1802. agent in applying and communicating re- demption. He effectually calls sinners to new life in Christ Jesus, regenerating them by his almighty grace, freeing them from the bondage of sin and death and persuading and enabling them to embrace Jesus Christ by faith (1). He dwells in all believers as their comforter and sanctifler, and as the spirit of adoption and of supplication (2), leading them into all the truth, making the means of grace efficacious in their edification, strengthen- ing them for all duty, sustaining them in all affliction (3) and performing all other gracious offices by which they are sanctified, sealed and made meet for the inheritance of the saints in light.

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

CHAPTER IX. (X.) OP FREEWILL. III. Man, by his fall into a state of sin, hath wholly lost all ability of will to any spir- itual good accompanying salvation, so as a natural man, being altogether "indisposed to" that good and dead in sin, Is not able, by his own strength, to convert himself or to pre- pare himself thereunto. ''Yet is his re- sponsibility as a free moral agent not thereby impaired." The chapter "Of the Universal Offer of the GospeV'becomes chapter XL, and the number of all succeeding chapters is increased by two. III. Man, by his fall into a state of sin. hath wholly lost all ability of will to any spiritual good accompanying salvation; so as a natural man, being altogether averse from that good and dead in sin, is not able by his own strength to convert himself or to prepare himself thereunto. CHAPTER XI. OF THE UNIVERSAL OFFER OF THE GOSPEL. I. God so loved the world that he provided in the covenant of grace, through the media- tion and sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ, a way of life and salvation sufficient for and adapted to the whole lost race of man(l); and he doth freely offer this salvation to all men in the gospel(2). (1) Rom., 1: 16; II Cor., : 19; Eph.. 1: 10; Col., 1:20; Heb., 9: 26; 10: 14; I John, 1: 7; 2: 2. (2) Luke, 23: 47; Acts, 2:39; 13: 47; Col., 1: 23. II. The gospel declares the love of God for the world(l), and his desire for the salvation of all men(2). It sets forth fully and clearly the only way of salvation, which is through Christ alone(3); promises that all who truly repent and believe in him shall be saved (4) ; commands, exhorts and invites all to embrace the offered mercy; and urges every motive to to induce man to accept its gracious invita- tions^). This free and universal offer of the gospel is accompanied by the holy spirit(6), striving with and entreating men to believe n the Lord Jesus Christ. (1) John, 3: 16; I John, 4: 14. (2) Ezek., 33: 11; Matt., 23: 37; Luke, 19: 41, 42; ITim.,2: 4. (3)Isa.,53: 5; Matt., 1: 21; Luke, 2: 30-32; I Cor., 1: 30; 3: 11; ITim.,2: 5' 6; 3: 16.

It is the duty and privilege of every one who hears the gospel immediately to accept its merciful pro visions (1). Great guilt and danger are incurred by delay or neglect(2). And they who continue to disobey the gospel perish by their own fault and are wholly with- out excuse, because they have resisted the holy spirit and rejected God's gracious offer of eternal life(3). (1) Matt., 3: 2; Luke, 9: 61,62; 13: 24, 25; II Cor., 6: 2; Heb., 3: 13, 15. (2) Matt.. 7: 24-27; 25: 10; Luke, 12: 20; 14: 18; Acts, 24: 25; Heb., 2: 1-3; 12: 25.

As there is no other way of salvation than that revealed in the gospel(l), and as in the divinely established and ordinary method of grace faith comet h by hearing the word of God, Christ hath given to his church the writ- ten word, the sacraments and the ministry; endowed her with the holy spirit and com- missioned her to go with his gospel into all the world and to make disciples of all nations(2). It is, therefore, the duty and privilege of all believers to sustain the means of grace where they are already established, and to contribute by their prayers, gifts and per- sonal efforts to the extension of the kingdom of Christ throughout the whole earth.

This effectual call is of God's free and special grace alone, not from anything at all foreseen in man, wno is altogether passive "in the act of regeneration wherein;" being CREED REVISION. 49 quickened and renewed by the holy spirit, he is enabled to answer "God's" call and to embrace the grace offered and conveyed in it, II. This effectual call is of God's free and special grace alone, not from anything at all foreseen in man, who is altogether passive therein, until being quickened and renewed by the holy spirit, he is thereby enabled to answer this call and to embrace the grace of- fered and conveyed in it. III. "All" infants dying in infancy, and all other persons who "from birth to death" are incapable of beine outwardly called by the ministry of the word, "are redeemed" by Christ, "and regenerated by the spirit," who worketh when, and where, and how he pleaseth. III. Elect infants dying in infancy are re- generated and saved by Christ through the spirit, who worketh when, and where, and how he pleaseth So also are all other elect persons who are incapable of being outwardly called by the ministry of the word. IV. Others, not elected, although they may be called by the ministry of the word and may have some common operations of the spirit, yet "inasmuch as they" never truly come to Christ, "they" cannot be saved; "neither is there salvation" in any other way "than by Christ through the spirit, however diligent men may be in framing" their lives according to the light of nature and the law of that religion they do profess. IV. Others, not elected, although they may be called by the ministry of the word and may have some common operations of the spirit, yet never truly come to Christ, and therefore cannot be saved; much less can men not professing the Christian religion be saved in any other way whatsoever, be they never so diligent to frame their lives accord- ing to the light of nature and the law of that religion they do profess, and to assert and maintain that they may is very pernicious and to be detested. CHAPTER (XI.) XIII. OF JUSTIFICATION. I. Those whom God effectually calleth he also freely justifleth; not by infusing right- eousness into them, but by pardoning their sins and by accounting and accepting their per- sons as righteous; not for anything wrought in them or done by them, but for Christ's sake alone; not by imputing faith itself, the act of believing, or any other evangelical obe- dience to them as their righteousness, but by imputing the obedience and satisfaction of Christ unto them, they receiving and resting on him and his righteousness by faith, which faith (they have not of themselves, it) is the gift of God. The words in parenthesis were stricken out so as to read, "which faith is" the gift of God. III. Christ, by his obedience and death, did fully discharge the debt of all those that are thus justified, and did make a proper, real and full satisfaction to "divine" justice in their behalf. Yet, inasmuch as he was given by the Father for them, and his obedience and satis- faction accepted in their stead, and both freely, not for anything in them, their justifi- cation is only of free grace; that both the exact justice and rich grace of God might be glorified in the justification of sinners. In line four "divine" is substituted for His Father's justice. CHAPTER (XIV.) XVI. OF SAVING FAITH. I. The grace of faith whereby "sinners" are enabled to believe to the saving of their souls is the work of the spirit of Christ in their hearts, and is ordinarily wrought by the ministry of the word, by which also, and by the administration of the sacraments and prayer, it is increased and strengthened. I. The grace of faith whereby the elect are enabled to believe to the saving of their souls is the work of the spirit of Christ in their hearts, and is ordinarily wrought by the min- istry of the word, by which also, and by the administration of the sacraments and prayer, it is increased and strengthened. CHAPTER (XVI.) XVIII. OF GOOD WORKS. VII. Works done by unregenerate men, although they may be things which God com- mands and are of good use both to them- selves and others; "and while their neglect of such things is sinful and displeasing unto God," yet because they proceed not from a heart purified by faith, nor are done in a right manner, according to the word; nor to a right end, the glory of God, they are there- fore "not free from sin," and cannot "be ac- cepted of " God or make a man meet to re- ceive grace from God. VII. Works done by unregenerate men, although for the matter of them they may be things which God commands, and of good use both to themselves and others, yet because they proceed not from a heart purified by faith, nor are done in a right manner, ac- cording to the word; nor to a right end, the glory of God, they are therefore sinful, and cannot please God or make a man meet to re- ceive grace from God. And yet their neglect of them is more sinful and displeasing unto God. CHAPTER (XXI.) XXIII. OF RELIGIOUS WOR- SHIP AND THE SABBATH DAY. IV. Prayer is to be made for things lawful; "for the forgiveness of all sins except" the sin unto death; and for all sorts of men living or that shall live hereafter, but not for the dead. IV. Prayer is to be made for things lawful, and for all sorts of men living or that shall live hereafter; but not for the dead nor those of whom it may be known that they have sinned the sin unto death. CHAPTER (XXII.) XXIV. OF LAWFUL OATHS AND VOWS. VII. No man may vow to do anything for- bidden in the word of God or what would hinder any duty therein commanded, or which is not in his own power, and for the perform- ance whereof he hath no promise or ability from God. In which respect popish monas- tical vows of perpetual single life, professed poverty and regular obedience are so far re- moved from degrees of higher perfection that they are superstitious and sinful snares in r>o CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1892. which no Christian may entangle himself. The word "popish," In line six, was stricken out, so as to read "monastical vows," etc. CHAPTER (XXIII.) XXV. OP THE CIVIL MAG- ISTRATE. III. Ciril magistrates may not assume to themselves the administration of the word and sacraments, or the power of the keys of the kingdom of heaven, or in the least inter- fere in matters of faith. Yet, as nursing fathers, it is the duty of civil magistrates to protect the church of our common Lord with- out giving the preference to any denomina- tion of Christians above the rest, in snch a manner that all ecclesiastical persons what- ever shall enjoy the full, free and unques- tioned liberty of discharging every part of their sacred functions without violence or danger. And as Jesus Christ hath appointed a regular government and discipline In his church, no law of any commonwealth should interfere with, let or hinder the due exercise thereof among the voluntary members of any denomination of Christians according to their own profession and belief. It Is the duty of civil magistrates to protect the person and good name of all their people in such an ef- fectual manner as that no person be suffered, either upon pretense of religion or Infidelity, to offer any indignity, violence, abuse or in- jury to any other person whatsoever; and to take order that all religious and ecclesiastical assemblies be held without molestation or disturbance. The words, "as nursing fathers," lines five and six, were stricken out. CHAPTER (XXIV.) XXVI. OF MARRIAGE AND- DIVORCE. III. it is lawful for all sorts of people to marry who are able, with judgment, to give their consent; yet it is the duty of Christians to marry only in the Lord; and, therefore, such as profess the true religion should not marry with infidels "nor with the adherents of false religions;" neither should such as are godly be unequally yoked by marrying with such as are notoriously wicked in their life. III. It is lawful for all sorts of people to marry who are able with judgment to give their consent; yet it is the duty of Christians to marry only in the Lord ; and, therefore, such as profess the true reformed religion should not marry with infidels, papists or other Idola- ters; neither should such as are godly be un- equally yoked by marrying with such as are notoriously wicked in their life or maintain damnable heresies. CHAPTER (XXV.) XXVII. OF THE CHURCH. VI. There is no other head of the church but the Lord Jesus Christ, "and the claim of the pope of Rome to be the vicar of Christ and the head of the church universal is with- out warrant in Scripture or in fact, and is a usurpation dishonoring to the Lord Jesus Christ." VI. There is no other head of the church but the Lord Jesus Christ; nor can the pope of Rome in any sense be head thereof, but is that anti-Christ, that man of sin and son of perdition that exalteth himself In the church against Christ and all that is called God. CHAPTER (XXIX.) XXXI. OF THE LORD'S SUPPER. II. In this sacrament Christ is not offered up to his Father, nor any real sacrifice made at all, for remission of sins of the quick or dead; but only a commemoration of that one offering up of himself by himself upon the cross once for all. and a spiritual oblation of all possible praise unto God for the same; so that the "Roman catholic doctrine of the" sacrifice of the mass is most abominably in- jurious to Christ's one only sacrifice "for sin." II. In this sacrament Christ is not offered up to his Father, nor any real sacrifice made at all, for remission of sins of the quick or dead; but only a commemoration of that one offering up or himself by oblation of all pos- sible praise unto God for the same; so that the popish sacrifice of the mass, as they call it, Is most abominably Injurious to Christ's one only sacrifice, the alone propitiation for all the sins of the elect. VIII. Although ignorant and wicked men receive the outward elements in this sacra- ment, yet they receive not the thing signified thereby; but, by their unworthy coming thereunto, are guilty of the body and blood of the Lord to their own damnation. Wherefore all ignorant and ungodly persons, as they are unfit to enjoy communion with him, so are they unworthy of the Lord's table and cannot, without great sin against Christ, while they remain such, partake of these holy mysteries or be admitted thereunto. For damnation, line six, "condemnation" was substituted. CHAPTER (XXX.) XXXII.-OF CHURCH CEN- SURES. II. To these officers the keys of the king- dom of heaven are committed, by virtue whereof they have "ministerial and declara- tive" power respectively to retain and remit sins, to shut that kingdom against the impeni- tent, both by the word and censures, and to open it unto penitent sinners by the ministry of the gospel and by absolution from censures, as occasion shall require. II. To these officers the keys of the king- dom of heaven are committed, by virtue whereof they have power respectively to re- tain and remit sins, to shut that kingdom against the impenitent, both by the word and censures, and to open it unto penitent sinners by the ministry of the gospel and by absolution from censures, as occasion shall require. This report was sent down to the presbyte- ries by the general assembly "for considera- tion, criticism or amendment." If it is adopted by three-fourths of all the presbyte- ries it will be returned to the general assem- bly for enactment. BALLOT REFORM. 51 BALLOT REFORM. AUSTRALIAN SYSTEM IN SHADED STATES AND TERRITORIES. The last few years have witnessed marvel- ous reforms in the methods of exercising the elective franchise in the United States. There has been a popular demand among the peo- ple that safeguards be thrown about the bal- lot-box to protect the voter and secure abso- lute secrecy in voting. The system in vogue in some of the Australian colonies for the last fifteen years became more popular in this country the more fully it was understood, and that system, with various modifications and amendments, has now been adopted in twenty- nine out of the forty-eight states and territo- ries of the Union. The Australian system was practically first introduced into the United States in 1888, when it was adopted by the state of Massachusetts and by the state of Kentucky in which it was made applicable to the city of Louisvjile. The same year this system was embodied in the Saxton bill which was introduced into and passed by the legis- lature of the state of New York but was vetoed by Gov. Hill, on the ground of uncon- stitutionality. A compromise bill was,however, passed by the legislature of that state in 1890, and became a law. Following these examples of Massachusetts and Kentucky, the legisla- tures of the following states in 1889 passed laws adopting the new system. Indiana, Mon- tana, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Minnesota, Missouri, Michigan, and Connecti- cut. In 1890 Arkansas, California, Delaware. Illinois, Maine, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma Territory, Oregon, South Dakota, and West Virginia adopted similar measures. To secure the greatest privacy to the voter is the essential feature of all these enactments. This is pro- vided for by all the new laws through the mechanical arrangements of booths, guard- rails, etc., similar to those in use in England and wherever the Australian system is em- ployed. The laws in force in the various states may not all have secured absolute se- crecy, but they certainly have come ver> close to bringing about this millenium in modern election methods. The laws protect the blind and the illiterate voters who cannot read the tickets. Those unable to prepare their own tickets are assisted by the election judges in some states, and in others, they may select a person to accompany them within the booth. Some laws,like those of Missouri, specify that the judges shall perform this service for the voter when it is requested. New York and New Jersey having separate ballots for each of the parties, which require no marking un- less the voter wants to scratch, make no pro- vision for those unable to read or write. There are two methods of grouping the names on the tickets and both have been tried. The first of these is the English, or more properly the original Australian style of alphabetical arrangement of the names of the candidates under the title of the office. This is used by the following states: Cali- fornia, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, Washing- ton, and Wyoming. The second is known as the Belgian system, ana consists of grouping all nominations and offices by parties. It fs used in Missouri, Ohio, Wisconsin, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana. Maine, Maryland, and Oklahoma Territory. In addition to its reform law, Massachusetts has a bell, and some mechanism in each bal- lot-box which registers and cancels the votes. This apparatus was adopted before the ballot reform law was proposed and has proved to be a most useful and practical arrangement. A WATCH AS A COMPASS. All watches are compasses Point the hour hand to the sun and the south Is exactly half- way between that hour and the figure twelve on the dial of the watch. For instance, sup- pose that it is four o'clock; point the hand in- dicating four to the sun and two on the watch is exactly south. Or suppose it is eight o'clock; point the hand indicating eight t9 the sun and the figure ten on the watch will be south. This was tested recently by a writer in the Massachusetts Medical Record and found to be an accurate guide. 52 CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1892. FOREIGN TARIFFS ON AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS.

S3 THE PENSION OFFICE. Work of the department for the fiscal year 1891. The annual report of Commissioner liaum of the pension bureau, submitted to the sec- retary of the interior, shows that on June 30, 1891, there were 676,160 pensioners borne on the rolls of the bureau, being 138,216 more than were carried on the rolls at the close of the last fiscal year. They are classified as fol- lows: Widows and daughters of revolution- ary soldiers, 23; army invalid pensioners, 413,- 597; army widows, minor children, etc., 108,537; navy invalid pensioners 5,449, navy widows, minor children, etc., 2,5(58; survivors of the war of 1812, 7.590; survivors of the Mexican war 16,379; widows of soldiers of the Mexican war 6,976. Following are the number of pensions of the several classes granted under the act of June 27, 1890: Army invalid pensioners 97,136; army widows, minor children, etc., 12.209; navy Invalid pensioners 3,976; navy widows, minor children, etc., 1.436. During the last fiscal year first payments were paid upon 131,160 original claims, requiring $31,391,538 for their payment. This is an increase In the number of original payments over the year 1890 of 64,532. The aggregate cost, however, was $1,087,302 less. There were 222.521 first payments of every description, requiring $38,552,274, being $69,592 less than was required for the 130,514 first pay- ments made during the last fiscal year. The average value of first payments made during the year was $239.33 and the average value of first payments on claims allowed under the act of June 27, 1890, was $71.28. The average value of first payments for the preceding year was $485.71, being a reduction In the average first payments of $246.38. The aggregate annual value of the 676,150 pensions on the roll June 31 last, 1891, was $89,247,200 and the average annual value of each pension was $139.99 and the average an- nual value of each pension under the act of June 27, 1890, was $121.51. At the close of the fiscal year there were 38,574 pensioners on the roll who remained un- paid for the want of time and who were en- titled to receive $4,883,242, which will be paid out of the appropriation for the current fiscal year, and there remained at the close of the fiscal year in the hands of the several pen- sion agents the sum of $5,713.852.84 which has since been covered into the treasury. This amount added to $3,607,133.22 of the pension amount not drawn from the treasury agg-e- gates $9,320,986.06 of the appropriation which was not expended. There will be a deficiency in the appropriation for the payment of fees and expenses of examining surgeons of about The total amount disbursed on account of pensions, expenses, etc., during the fiscal year was $118,548,959.71 as compared with $100.493,- 890.19 disbursed during the preceding fiscal year. So that it appears that 136,216 pensions were added to the rolls during the fiscal year just closed, at an increased cost to the nation of $12,055,009 as compared with the expendi- tures for the previous fiscal year, and said ex- penditure includes $4,357,347 paid upon vouch- ers remaining unpaid at the close of the year. The largest number of certificates issued to any class was 4,693 to men who served thirty- six months. The age of the greatest number of pensioners under both the old and new law was forty-seven years. During the last year 20,525 pensioners were dropped from the rolls for various causes, and of this number 13,229 were dropped by reason of death. The loss to the pension rolls by the decease of widows and dependent mothers and fa- thers was at the rate of thirty-five per 1,000 In Ib91. It is estimated that of the soldiers who served the country during the late war 1,004,- 658 were killed in battle or died during and since the war. On June 30 last 124,750 of these deceased soldiers were represented on the pension rolls by their widows or other de- pendents. There are about 1,208,707 soldiers of the union now living, and of the survivors 520,158 are now on the pension rolls. There are, therefore, 688,549 survivors who are not pen sioned and 879,908 deceased soldiers not repre sented on the pension rolls. The commis- sioner renews his recommendation of last year as to the readjustment of the pension ratings under the act of March 3, 1883, and March 4, 1890. DISBTTRSEMENTS, 1891. Amount disbursed at U.

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

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

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

OUR CENTER OF POPULATION. It appears from a bulletin issued by the United States census office that this point was situated June 1, 1890, in 39 degrees 11 minutes and 56 seconds north latitude and 85 degrees 32 minutes 53 seconds west longitude, a point twenty miles east of Columbus, Ind.

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