[Copyright, 1900, by THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS Co.] PREFACE. The year preceding a presidential election is important and interesting from a purely political point of view. The state con- ventions and the elections of the year indicate the popularity of new issues and frequently set the pace for the following cam- paign. In this regard the elections and the utterances of state conventions in 1899 are significant and valuable. The war in the Philippines and the conditions in Hawaii, Cuba and Puerto Rico will, in all probability, exert a powerful influence on the campaign of 1900. In all of these departments THE DAILY NEWS ALMANAC for 1900 is singularly replete. In the article upon the war in Luzon valuable official documents are given, including the report of the Schurman Philippine com- mission. As to other important and historic features of the year, like the Peace Conference at The Hague, the temporary adjust- ment of the Alaskan boundary and the Spanish treaty, very interesting official papers, which have rarely been published, are given in full. The Nicaragua canal, which is likely to be the subject of congressional legislation, is treated with a good deal of detail, and other subjects, like the Colonial Systems of the World, Submarine Cable Lines, American Trusts, Railroads, Samoan affairs and partition, and many other topics, are given the prominence they deserve. Besides these discussions there is the same amount of material relating to finance, the army and navy, trade and com- merce, money, schools and education, pensions, agriculture, the churches, congress, national debt and other themes that have contributed so largely to the popularity of THE DAILY NEWS ALMANAC in the past. Nothing of a political character has been omitted from the present volume that has any direct bearing upon the issues in the presidential campaign of 1900, while very much new material has been added to meet the demands of educators, clergymen, agriculturists and others interested in nonpolitical affairs.

The coal production and consumption of the world during the last fifteen years are presented in some tables recently prepared by the treasury bureau of statistics. These show that while the United Kingdom is still the largest coal producer of the world the United States is a close second, .and if the present rate of gain is continued will soon become the leading coal producing country of the world. The coal production of the United Kingdom in 1897 was 202,000,000 tons; that of the United States, 179,000.000 tons; Germany, 91,000,000; Prance, 30,000,000; Belgium, 22,000,000; Austria-Hungary, 12,- 000,000; Russia, nearly 10,000,000; Australasia, nearly 5,000,000; Japan, over 5,000,000; Brit- ish India, 4,000,000; Canada, nearly 4,000,000, and Spain, 2,000,000, while no other country reached 1,000,000 tons in production. The United States, however, has gained much more rapidly during the fifteen years under consideration than has the United Kingdom, or indeed any of the important coal pro- ducing countries of the world, her gain dur- ing the fifteen years being over 73 per cent and that of the United Kingdom less than 24 per cent. The announcement just made by the geo- logical survey that the coal product of the United States in 1898 was 219,836,000 short tons against 226,287,000 for Great Britain shows that the United States is rapidly gaining upon that country as a coal pro- ducer and will soon become the leading coal producing nation of the world. As an exporter of coal, however, the United States takes low rank in proportion to its production and stands fourth in the list of coal exporting countries. In 1897 the exportatlons of coal from the United King- dom were 48,000,000 tons, from Germany 12,000,000, from Belgium over 6,000,000 and from the United States* a little less than 4,000,000, though in 1898 the quantity ex- ported was slightly above 4,000,000 tons. Australasia comes next to the United States as a coal exporting country, her ex- ports amounting to nearly 3,000,000 tons, while France exported about 2,500,000, Japan 2,000,000 and Canada about 1,230,000 tons in 1897. France is the largest coal importing country, her importations in 1897 being nearly 12,000,000 tons, while Germany im- ported 6,000,000, Austria-Hungary 5,600,000, Italy 4,250,000, Canada nearly 4,000,000, Belgium nearly 3,000,000, Russia 2,500,000, Sweden over 2,250,000, the United States nearly 1,500,000 and Australasia 1,000,000 tons. No other country imported as much as 1,000,000 tons. Great Britain is also the largest consumer of coal in proportion to population, her coal consumption in 1897 being 3.87 tons per capita; that of Belgium, 2.70 tons; the United States, 2.42; Germany, 1.58; Canada, 1.25; France, 0.98; Australasia, 0.97; Sweden, 0.50; Austria-Hungary, 0.37; Spain, 0.19; Italy, 0.13; Russia, 0.09, and Japan. 0.07 of a ton per capita. According to these figures, which are summarized from a report of the coal production of the principal countries of the world, just issued by the British govern- ment, the United States now produces about 30 per cent of the coal of the world, the product of the fourteen countries enumerated in the tables being in 1897 566,000,000 tons, of which the United States produced 179,000,000 tons, while in 1883 she produced but 27 per cent of the total product of the countries enumerated. As above indicated the 1898 fiprures make an even more satisfactory showing for the STATISTICS OF AGRICULTURE. United States, whose product In long tons for that year Is 196,282,000, against 202,- 042,000 long tons produced in Great Britain. The following table shows the coal mined in all countries producing more than 1,000,- 000 tons annually, in 1883, 1890 and 1898, figures for 1897 being given in cases where those for 1898 are not accessible: 1S83. 189(>. 1898.

PDBLIC LANDS FIT FOR PRODUCTIVE USES. Far more Important than the exact area of the public domain legally open to settle- ment is the question how much of this public land is actually fit for cultivation or for other productive uses. Having regard to present conditions, it must be admitted that all the best parts of the public domain have been appropriated, and that compara- tively very little good agricultural land remains open to settlement; the mineral value of that which remains may be very great, but even of the mineral deposits it may be said that the most accessible and most easily worked among them have proba- bly been appropriated. Looking into the fu- ture, the question becomes much more dim- cult, for no one can tell even approximately how much of the land now lying waste may be ultimately reclaimed to productive uses. The one thing needed, so far as concerns the greater part of the 573,995,000 acres of vacant public land in the United States proper, including nearly all west of the ninety-eighth or one hundredth meridian, is an adequate supply of water, and this applies to much of the mineral land as well as to that which it is desired to reclaim for agricultural purposes. Vast tracts of arid land in the western United States contain in an unusual degree all the elements of fertility except water, and with the aid of irrigation could be made to yield more abundantly than even the best land of the humid regions. It has been said that "sagebrush is unerring evidence of kindly soil and abundant sunshine." Estimates of the amount of this land which can be irrigated with the water at command vary greatly, but there is none for the arid region as a whole more authori- tative than those of Maj. J. W. Powell, formerly director of the United States geological survey, and Mr. F. H. Newell, chief hydrographer of that survey. Maj. Powell estimated that at least 150,000 square miles, or 96,000,000 acres, could be econom- ically reclaimed by irrigation within the present generation; or, as he said before a congressional committee in 1890. that about 100,000.000 acres could be reclaimed by the utilization of perennial streams alone. Mr. Newell places the irrigable amount at 74,000,000 acres, or about 7.6 per cent of the total area of the sixteen western public- land states and territories. This is a very conservative estimate, in which financial as well as engineering considerations are taken into account, and it looks not to the remote future, but only to what Is likely to be profitable and therefore practicable within THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. a generation. Future improvements in irri- gation engineering and methods and discov- eries of new underground water supplies, together with the increasing demand for agricultural products resulting from an in- creasing population, may in the course of time make it profitable to irrigate a much larger area, but any attempt to state the ultimate extent of Irrigation would be only conjecture.

STATISTICS OF RAILWAYS OF THE UNITED STATES. For the year ended June 80, 1898. The following is a synopsis of the elev- enth statistical report of the United States interstate-commerce commission for 1898, and from the summaries in their reports the figures below are taken: MILEAGE. On June 30, 1898, the total single-track railway mileage in the United States was 186,396.32 miles, there being an Increase in this mileage during the year of 1,967.85 miles. The states of Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Missouri, New York and Wis- consin show an increase In excess of 100 miles. The aggregate length of railway mileage, including all tracks, on the date given was 247,532.52 miles, the Increase being shown as 4,088.11 miles. This aggre- gate mileage was distributed as follows: Single track, 186,396.32 miles; second track, 11,293.25 miles; third track, 1,009.65 miles; fourth track, 793.57 miles; yard track and sidings, 48,039.73 miles. The length of the railway reports filed with the commission was 184,648.26 miles, which indicates that the mileage of the country is covered by reports in a substantially complete manner. CLASSIFICATION OF RAILWAYS. The number of railway corporations on June 30, 1898, included in the "statistics of railways in the United States," was 2,047. Of this number, 1,049 maintained operating accounts, 836 being classed as independent operating roads and 213 as subsidiary oper- ating roads. Of roads operated under lease or some other form of agreement, 317 re- ceived a fixed money rental, 172 a contin- gent money rental and 275 were operated under some form of contract or control not capable of description in a single phrase. The operated mileage covered by mergers, reorganizations and consolidations during the year under review was 7,220.42 miles. The corresponding figure for the previous year was 14,834.34 miles. EQUIPMENT. On June 30, 1898, there were 36,234 locomo- tives in the service of the railways. This number is larger by 248 than the previous year. Of the total number of locomotives reported, 9,956 are classed as passenger locomotives, 20.627 as freight locomotives and 5,234 &a switching locomotives, a small number being unclassed. The total number of cars of all classes reported as in the service of railways on the date named was 1,326,174. being an increase of 28,694 as compared with June 30, 1897. Of the total number, 33,595 were assigned to the pas- senger service and 1.248,826 to the freight service, 43,753 being assigned to the service of the railways themselves. The number of cars owned by private companies and In- dividuals that are used by railways in transportation is not covered by reports filed with the commission. An inspection of the summaries which are designed to show the density of equipment and the efficiency of its employment shows that during the year ended June 30, 1898, the railways in the United States used twenty locomotives and 718 cars per 100 miles of line. Referring to the country at large, it appears that 50.328 passengers were carried and 1,343,906 passenger-miles were accomplished per passenger locomotive, and 42,614 tons or freight were carried and >, 530,498 ton-miles accomplished per freight locomotive. All of these items show an increase as compared with those of the previous year, ended June 30, 1897. Including under the term equipment both locomotives and cars, it ^s noted that the total equipment of railways on June 30, 1898, was 1,362,408. Of this number 641,262 were Stted with train brakes, the increase being 113,976, and 909,574 were fitted with auto- matic couplers, the increase in this case being 230,849. The summaries indicate that practically all of the locomotives and cars assigned to the passenger service are fitted with train brakes, and that out of a total of 9,956 locomotives assigned to this service 5,105 are fitted with automatic couplers, and 32,697 cars out of a total of 33,595 cars in the same service are also so fitted. A cor- responding statement for freight equipment is as follows: Out of a total of 20,627 loco- motives assigned to the freight service 19.414 are fitted with train brakes and 6,229 with automatic couplers, but out of a total of 1,248,826 cars assigned to the freight service only 567,409 are fitted with train brakes and 851,533 with automatic couplers. The number of switching locomotives fitted with train brakes was 3,877, and the number fitted with automatic couplers was 1,199. Of the total number of cars of all classes in service on June 30, 1898, 607,786 were fitted with train brakes, the increase during the year being 115,227, and 896,813 were fitted with automatic couplers, the increase in this case being 227,876. NUMBER OF EMPLOYES. The number of persons employed by the railways of the United States, as reported on June 30, 1898, was 874,558, which is equivalent to 474 employes per 100 miles of line. As compared with the number of em- ployes for the previous year, there was an Increase of 51,082. The number of employes on June 30, 1898, was 956 in excess of the number on June 30, 1893, and 89,524 in excess of the number on June 30, 1895. The em- ployes of railways, as reported to the com mission, are divided into eighteen classes. It thus appears that on June 30, 1898, there were in the employ of the railways 37,939 enginemen, 38,925 firemen, 26,876 conductors and 66,968 other trainmen. There were 47,124 switchmen, flagmen and watchmen. A distribution of employes conforming to the four general subdivisions of operating ex- penses shows that the services of 32.431 employes were required for general admin istration, or eighteen per 100 miles of line; 261,866 for maintenance of way and struc- tures, or 142 per 100 miles of line; 171,600 for maintenance of equipment, or ninety- three per 100 miles of line, and 398,987 for conducting transportation, or 216 per 100 miles of line. This statement does not In- clude 9,754 unclassified employes. The report contains a comparative state- ment of the average daily compensation of seven years 1892 to 1898. There is also given in the report a summary which shows the total amount of compensation reported as paid to the railway employes of the country during the four fiscal years ended June 30, 1895 to 1898. This summary shows 00 CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1900. that the aggregate amount of wages and salaries paid during the year ended June 30, 1898, to more than 99 per cent of the persons on the pay rolls of railways was $495,065,618, the increase, as compared with the preceding year, being $29,454,037. This amount of compensation represents 60.52 per cent of the total operating expenses of railways and 39.69 per cent of their total gross earnings, or $2,681 per mile of line. CAPITALIZATION AND VALUATION OF RAILWAY PROPERTY. The amount of railway capital outstand- ing on June 30, 1898, not including current liabilities in the term, was $10,818,554,031. This amount, assigned to a mileage basis, represents a capital of $60,343 per mile of line. The amount of capital which existed in the form of stocks was $5,388,268,321, of which $4,269,271,714 was common stock and $1,118,996,607 was preferred stock. The amount which existed in the form of funded debt was $5,430,285,710, comprising mortgage bonds, $4,640,762,632; miscellaneous obliga- tions, $486,977,279; income bonds, $262,194,688, and equipment trust obligations, $40,351,111.

The aggregate number of passengers car- ried during the year ended June 30, 1898, as returned in the annual reports of railways, was 501,066,681, indicating an increase, as compared with the year ended June 30, 1897, of 11,621,483. The number of passen- gers carried one mile during the year was 13,379,930,004, there being an increase of 1,122,990,357 as compared with the year pre- vious. The increased density of passenger traffic is shown by the fact that in 1898 the number of passengers carried one mile per mile of line was 72,462, as compared with 66,874 for the previous year. The corre- sponding figure for 1893, however, was 83,809. The number of tons of freight carried dur- ing the year was 879,006,307, there being an increase of 137,300,361. The number of tons of freight carried one mile was 114,077,676,- 305, which, compared with the previous year, shows the large increase of 18,938,- 554,080. The number of tons of freight car- ried one milp per mile of line was 617,810, which is 98,731 greater than the correspond- ing item for the year preceding. EARNINGS AND EXPENSES. The gross earnings of the railways of the United States, covering an operated mile- age of 184,648.26 miles, were $1,247,325,621 for the year ended June 30, 1898, being greater by $125,235,848 than the correspond- ing item for the fiscal year preceding. The operating expenses during the same period were $817,973,276, being an increase of $65,448,512 as compared with the year 1897. The items comprised In gross earnings from operation for the fiscal year under consid- eration were: Passenger revenue, $266,970,- 490; increase as compared with the previous year, $15,834,563. Mail, $34.608,352; increase, $853,886. Express, $25,908,075; increase, $1,007,009. Other earnings from passenger service, $7,224,000. Freight revenue, $876.- 727,719; increase, $103,878,405. Other earnings from freight service, $4,683,205; increase, $473,548. Other earnings from operation, In- cluding a few unclassified items, $31,203,780. The operating expenses for the year were assigned as follows: Maintenance of way and structures, $173,314,958; increase as com- pared with the preceding year, $13,880,555. Maintenance of equipment, $142,624,862; in- crease, $19,862.504. Conducting transporta- tion, $464,674,276; increase, $32,148,414. Gen- eral expenses, $36,476,686; decrease, $4,583. The gross earnings averaged $6,755 per mile of line and operating expenses $4,430 per mile of line. These amounts are. respec- tively, $633 and $324 greater than the corre- sponding figures for 1897. The report con- tains a further analysis of the operating expenses of railways in the United States for the years 1895 to 1898, in accordance with the fifty-three accounts embraced in the prescribed classification of these ex- penses. The income from operation that Is, the amount of gross earnings remaining after the deduction of operating expenses, and commonly termed net earnings was $429,- 352,345. This amount is $59,787,336 greater than it was for the preceding year, ended June 30, 1897. The amount of Income from other sources was $138,202,779. The following items are embraced in this amount: Income from lease of road, $95,471,678; dividends on stocks owned, $15,614,638; Interest on bonds owned, $10,529.343, and miscellaneous in- come, $16,587,120. The total income of the railways, $567,555,124 that is, the income from operation and income from other sources is the item from which fixed charges and other analogous items are to be deducted before reaching the amount avail- able for dividends. Taking from this amount the total deductions from income, $427.235,703, leaves $140,319,421 as the net in- come for the year available for dividends or surplus. The total amount of dividends declared during the year, including $87,975, other payments from net income, was $96,240.864. It therefore appears that the surplus from the operations of the year was $44,078,557. An analysis of the total deductions from income, $427,235,703, mentioned above, shows that they were composed of the following items: Salaries and maintenance of organi- zation, $443.325; interest accrued on funded debt, $246,126.691: interest on interest-bear- ing current liabilities, $7,073,953; rents paid for lease of road, $92,391,008; taxes, $43,- 828,224; permanent improvements charged to income account. $6,847,905, and other deduc- tions, $30,524,597. The railway companies make annual re- ports to the commission of two kinds. These are designated, respectively, as operating reports and financial reports.

AMERICAN TRUSTS. AMERICAN TRUSTS. Monopolies, trusts, syndicates, or by whatever other name -organizations formed for the purpose of controlling the output of manufactured products, for regulating prices or for adjusting wages, may be known, are not peculiar to either the pres- ent age or to our own country. In the sixteenth century the people of England complained of the extortions of the monopolies which had been granted by the crown and the whole system was at- tacked in parliament in 1597. No restrain- ing law was passed, because of the personal solicitation of the queen, but in 1601 par- liament took up the subject and a list of the most objectionable monopolies was read in the house of commons. One member of that body caused a sensation at the time by asking, "Is not bread among the num- ber?" In 1623 the so-called statute of monopolies was passed, which provided that all monop- olies should be illegal, except such as might be granted by parliament, the only exceptions being the control of new manu- factures and Inventions. For a time this law put an end to the formation of monop- olies which have now become so common in nearly every civilized country on the globe. In England, despite the industrial energy of the country and its extensive commerce, the trust system has not made the advance It has in some other countries in Europe or In America. A recent writer In explaining this apparent anomaly says that "this is doubtless due in some degree to the thorough application of the princi- ple of free trade, for it is well known that the largest trusts are powerless unless their Interests are secured by a protective tariff excluding from home markets the products of foreign countries." Technical Journals In Germany credited the empire with 180 trusts, or private mo- nopolies, In 1897, and the number has con- siderably increased since then. In such industries as brick, stone, plaster of paris, glue, mortar and the like there are over forty trusts, of which a recent writer says: "Of these trusts in the widest sense of the word it may be said that by hindering unlimited underbidding they have proved an actual blessing to the trades concerned, without becoming a menace to the public welfare." The same writer says: "The activity and extension of trusts in Ger- many has not yet led to serious apprehen- sions or open hatred on the part of large portions of the population as now appears to exist in the United States. Although aiming primarily at the establishment of better prices, German trusts cannot be ac- cused of the exploitation of the public at large or of the working classes. As re- gards the establishment of prices, also, the trusts have hitherto displayed a wise mod- eration." In Austria-Hungary there have been fewer trusts organized, chiefly because op- posed to them there is a strong and pro- nounced public sentiment. As a rule they have been censured because of their atti- tude regarding the subject of wages. Perhaps in no country in Europe has the trust system assumed the proportions it has acquired in France. The iron trade, the chemical industries, the bottle-glass, sugar refining, zinc and many other im- portant lines of industry are controlled by trusts and have been so for many years. In Belgium and Denmark there are large Interests in international trusts. In Russia, while the courts do not recognize the for- mation of trusts as legal, strong industrial organizations control many of the commodi- ties. Iron, brandy, sugar, petroleum and a vast number of other products are in the hands of monopolies which oppress the people. Not only is no resistance offered them by the government, but "many of them have been organized under the protec- tion and with the assistance of the govern- ment." In the United States trusts are of com- paratively recent origin, but the rapidity with which they have, of late years, been formed indicates the popularity of a system that is centuries old in Europe. The fol- lowing table, giving a list of the principal trusts in this country, has been prepared with care from several reliable sources of Information and is as nearly complete as it has been possible to make It. Many small combinations, of a local character, have been purposely omitted. That It is free from all errors is not claimed, for authentic Information is in many instances impossible to reach. It Is believed to be the largest and most reliable list of Amer- ican trusts yet published. The (*) indi- cates that the amount of capital stock Is estimated, no authentic figures being at- tainable.

In pursuance of the rescript of Nicholas II., czar of Russia (a copy of which may be found in The Daily News Almanac for 1899, page 102), for the limitation of the evils of militarism, an international conference was appointed to be held at The Hague on the 18th of May, 1899, to which the various governments of the world were invited to send delegates to represent them in the proposed deliberations. On the llth of Jan- uary, 1899, a circular was issued by Count Muravieff, Russian minister of foreign af- fairs, to all the powers having diplomatic representatives at St. Petersburg, in which the various proposals to be submitted for discussion at the conference were outlined. PROPOSALS SUBMITTED. This circular was as follows: "When, in the month of August last, my august master instructed me to propose to the governments which have representa- tives in St. Petersburg the holding of a conference with the object of seeking more efficacious means for assuring to all peoples the blessings of real and lasting peace, and, before all, In order to put a stop to the progressive development of the present armaments, there appeared to be no obstacle in the way of the realization, at no distant date, of this humanitarian scheme. The cordial manner in which the step taken by the imperial government was greeted by nearly all the powers could not fail to strengthen this view. While highly appre- ciating the sympathetic terms in which the adhesions of most of the powers were drafted, the imperial cabinet also feels lively satisfaction at the testimonies of very warm approval which have been ad- dressed to it and continue to be received from all classes of society in various parts of the globe. Notwithstanding the strong current of opinion which set in in favor of the idea of general pacification, the polit- ical horizon has undergone a sensible change in this last respect. Several pow- ers nave undertaken fresh armaments, striving to further increase their military forces, and in the presence of this uncer- tain situation it might be asked whether the powers considered the present moment opportune for the international discussion of the ideas set forth in the circular of Oct. 12 (old style), 1898. "Hoping, however, that the elements of trouble agitating the political spheres will soon give place to a calmer disposition, of a nature to favor the success of the pro- posed conference, the imperial government is of opinion that it would be possible to proceed forthwith to a preliminary ex- change of views between the powers with the object (a) of seeking without delay means for putting a stop to the progressive increase of military and naval armaments, a question the solution of which becomes evidently more and more urgent in view of the fresh extension given to these arma- ments; and (b) of preparing the way for a discussion of the questions relating to the possibility of preventing armed conflicts by the pacific means at the disposal of inter- national diplomacy. "In the event of the powers considering the present moment favorable for the meet- Ing of a conference on these bases, it would certainly be useful for the cabinets to come to an understanding on the subject of the programme of their labors. The proposals to be submitted for international discussion at the conference could, in general terms, be summarized as follows: "1. An understanding not to increase for a fixed period the present effective of the armed military and naval forces, and, at the same time, not to increase the budgets pertaining thereto; a preliminary examina- tion of the means by which a reduction might even be effected in future in the forces and budgets above mentioned. "2. To prohibit the use in the armies and fleets Of any new kind of firearms what- ever, and of new explosives, or any pow- ders more powerful than those now In use either for rifles or cannon. "3. To restrict the use in military war- fare of the formidable explosives already existing, and to prohibit the throwing of Erojectiles or explosives of any kind from alloons or by any similar means. "4. To prohibit the use in naval warfare of submarine torpedo-boats or plungers, or other similar engines of destruction; to give an undertaking not to construct ves- sels with rams in the future. "6. To apply to naval warfare the stipu- lations of the Geneva convention of 1864, on the basis of the articles added to the convention of 1868. "6. To neutralize ships and boats em- ployed in saving those overboard during or after an engagement. "7. To revise the declaration concerning the laws and customs of war elaborated in 1874 by the conference of Brussels, which has remained unratifled to the present day. "8. To accept in principle the employ- ment of the good offices of mediation and facultative arbitration in cases lending themselves thereto, with the object of pre- venting armed conflicts between nations; an understanding with respect to the mode of applying these good offices, and the establishment of a uniform practice in using them. "It is well understood that all questions concerning the political relations of states and the order of things established by treaties, as generally all questions which do not directly fall within the programme adopted by the cabinets, must be absolutely excluded from the deliberations of the con- ference. "In requesting you, monsieur, to be good enough to apply to your government for instructions on the subject of my present communication, I beg you at the same time to inform it that, in the interest of the great cause which my august master has so much at heart, his imperial majesty con- siders it advisable that the conference should not sit In the capital of one of the great powers, where so many political In- terests are centered which might, perhaps, impede the progress of a work in which all the countries of the universe are equally interested."

The delegates met at The Hague on the 18th of May, 1899, and the conference was organized by the election of M. de Staal, a Russian delegate, to preside over the de- liberations of the body. The conference held its sessions until the 29th of July, 1899, when it adjourned. THE RESULTS. It is not within the scope of this article to give an account of the routine work of the conference, but simply its accomplish- ments. In a word, disarmament failed, but arbitration won a most signal victory. In brief, the conference appointed three com- missioners to deal with the three groups of questions contained in the Russian cir- cular given above, which were known as the first, second and third commissions. The first dealt with the subject of disarmament, limitation of expenditure, prohibition of new styles of firearms, limitation of the use of explosives and prohibition of the use of rams or of submarine boats. The American members on this commission were Messrs. White, Mahan and Crozier. The second commission considered the laws of warfare, application of the Geneva convention to naval warfare, neutralization of vessels engaged In saving the ship- wrecked during or after a naval engage- ment, and a revision of the declaration of Brussels of 1874 on the notification and the customs of war. The American members of this commission were Messrs. White, Newell. Mahan and Crozier. The third commission had charge of the subjects of mediation and arbitration, which were regarded by both Great Britain and the United States as the most im- portant ones before the conference. The American members of this commission were Messrs. White, Low and Holls. At the final session of the conference the president announced that sixteen states had signed the arbitration convention, fifteen the convention relating to the laws and customs of war and that relating to the adaptation of the Geneva convention to naval warfare, seventeen the declaration prohibiting the throwing of projectiles or explosives from balloons, sixteen the dec- laration prohibiting the use of asphyxiating gases and fifteen the declaration prohibit- ing the use of expansive bullets. THE ARBITRATION PROJECT. We give in full the text of the project of the convention for the peaceful regulation of international conflicts: THE PEACE CONFERENCE. 103 SECTION 1. THE MAINTENANCE OF THE GENERAL, PEACE. Article 1. In order to prevent as far as possible the recourse to force in interna- tional relations, the signatory powers agree to employ all their efforts to bring about, by pacific means, the solution of the differ- ences which may arise between states. SEC. 2. GOOD OFFICES AND MEDIA- TION. Art. 2. The signatory powers agree that in case of grave disagreement of conflict, before appealing to arms, they will have re- course, so far as circumstances allow it, to the good offices or mediation of one or more of the friendly powers. Art. 3. Independently of this recourse, the signatory powers consider it useful that one or more powers that are not concerned in the conflict should offer of their own initia- tive, so far as the circumstances lend them- selves to it, their good offices or their me- diation to the disputing states. The powers not concerned In the conflict have the right of offering their good offices or their mediation even during the course of hostilities. The exercise of this right can never be considered by either of the disputing parties as an unfriendly act. Art. 4. The part of the mediator consists In the reconciliation of contrary preten- sions and in the allaying of the resentments which may be caused between the disputing states. Art. 5. The duties of the mediator cease from the moment when it is announced, whether by one of the disputing parties or by the mediator himself, that the compro- mise or the basis of a friendly understand- ing proposed by him have not been ac- cepted. Art. 6. Good offices and mediation, whether recourse Is had to them by one of the disputing parties or on the Initiative of powers not concerned in the conflict, have exclusively the character of counsel and are devoid of any obligatory force. Art. 7. The acceptance of mediation can- not have the effect, unless it be agreed to the contrary, of interrupting, retarding, or impeding mobilization and other measures preparatory to war. If it (mediation) intervenes before the opening of hostilities, it does not, unless the contrary be agreed upon, interrupt the current military operations. Art. 8. The signatory powers agree to rec- ommend the application, in circumstances which permit of it, of a special mediation in the following form: In the case of a grave disagreement en- dangering peace, the disputing states should each choose one power to which they may intrust the mission of entering into direct communication with the power chosen by the other side, for the purpose of preventing the rupture of pacific relations. During the continuance of their mandate the duration of which, unless the contrary is stipulated, cannot exceed thirty days, the question in dispute is considered as referred exclusively to these powers. They must apply all their efforts to arranging the dif- ference. In case of the actual rupture of pacific relations, these powers remain charged with the common mission of profiting by every opportunity of re-establishing peace. SEC. 3. INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION OF Art. 9. In cases in which differences ol opinion should arise between the signatory powers with regard to the local circum- stances which have given rise to a disagree- ment of an international , character which could not be settled by the ordinary diplo- matic methods, and in which neither the honor nor the vital interests of these pow- ers are at stake, the interested parties agree to have recourse, so far as the cir- cumstances permit it, to the institution of international commissions of inquiry, in order to establish the circumstances which have given rise to dispute and to clear up, by an impartial and conscientious inquiry on the spot, all questions of fact. Art. 10. The International commissions of inquiry are constituted, unless it is stipu- lated to thju contrary. In the manner deter- mined by article 31 of the present conven- tion. Art. 11. The interested powers undertake to furnish to the International commission of inquiry, to the fullest extent that they shall consider possible, all the means and all the facilities necessary for the complete knowledge and exact appreciation of the facts in question. Art. 12. The international commission of inquiry shall present to the Interested pow- ers its report signed by all the members of the commission. Art. 13. The report of the international commission of inquiry has in nowise the character of an arbitral decision. It leaves the disputing powers entire freedom, either to conclude a friendly arrangement on the basis of this report, or have recourse ulti- mately to mediation or arbitration. II. OF INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION. SECTION 1. OF ARBITRATION. (Justice Arbltrale.) Art. 14. International arbitration has for its object the settlement of disputes be- tween states by judges of their own choos- ing and in conformity with their reciprocal rights. Art. 15. In questions of right, and espe- cially in questions of the interpretation or application of international conventions. arbitration is recognized by the signatory powers as the most effective and at the same time the most equitable means of set- tling disputes not arranged by diplomatic methods. Art. 16. The agreement to arbitrate may be concluded for disputes already In exist- ence, or for disputes about to arise (con- testations eventuelles). It can deal with every sort of dispute or only with disputes of a specified category. Art. 17. The arbitral convention involves an engagement to submit in good faith to the arbitral decision. Art. 18. Independently of general or spe- cial treaties, which may already bind the signatory powers to have recourse to arbi- tration, these powers reserve to themselves the liberty to conclude, either before the ratification of the present article or after- ward, new agreements, general or particu- lar, with the object of extending compul- sory arbitration to all cases which they judge capable of being submitted to it. Art. 19. With the object of promoting the development of arbitration, the signatory powers consider it useful to lay down cer- 104 CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1900. tain rules concerning arbitral jurisdiction and procedure. These provisions are only applicable in case the parties themselves do not adopt other rules with reference to this matter. SEC. 2. OF THE PERMANENT COURT OF ARBITRATION. Art. 20. With the object of facilitating immediate recourse to the arbitration of international differences not settled by dip- lomatic means, the signatory powers pledge themselves to organize in the following manner a permanent court of arbitration, accessible at all times and working, except there be a contrary stipulation of the dis- puting parties, in conformity with the rules of procedure inserted in the present con- vention. Art. 21. This court has competence in all cases of arbitration, unless the disputing parties agree to establish a special arbitral Jurisdiction. Art. 22. An international bureau estab- lished at The Hague and placed under the direction of a permanent secretary-general is to act as the officer (greffe) of the court. It is to be the intermediary for the com- munications dealing with the meetings of the latter. It is to have care of the archives and the conduct of all the administrative business. Art. 23. Each of the signatory powers shall designate in the three months follow- ing the ratification of the present act four persons at the most, of recognized compe- tence in questions of international law, and enjoying the highest esteem (jouissant de la plus haute consideration morale), and ready to accept the duties of arbitrators. The persons thus nominated will be en- tered, with the title of members of the court, on a list which will be communicated by the bureau to all the signatory powers. Every modification of the list of arbitra- tors shall be brought to the notice of the signatory powers by the bureau. Two or more powers may agree to nom- inate one or more members in common. The same person may be nominated by different powers. The members of the court are appointed for a term of six years. Their appointment may be renewed. In the case of the decease or of the re- tirement of a member of the tribunal, the vacancy will be filled in accordance with the rules established for nomination. Art. 24. The signatory powers which de- sire to apply to the court for the settlement, of differences which have arisen between them choose out of the general list the number of arbitrators jointly agreed upon. They give notice to the bureau of their intention to apply to the court and of the names of the arbitrators whom they have nominated. Art. 25. The tribunal sits usually at The Hague. It has the right to sit elsewhere, with the consent of the parties in litigation. Art. 26. Every power, though not a signa- tory of this act, can apply to the court under the conditions prescribed by the pres- ent convention. Art. 27. The signatory powers consider it a duty, in case a sharp conflict should threaten to break out between two or more of them, to remind these that the perma- nent court is open to them. Consequently, they declare the fact that one or several of them reminding the dis- puting states of the provisions of the pres- ent convention, and the advice given, in the higher interest of peace, to apply to the permanent court, can only be considered an exercise of good offices. Art. 28. A. permanent council, composed of the diplomatic representatives of the signatory powers resident at The Hague, and the Dutch minister for foreign affairs, who shall discharge the functions of presi- dent, shall be constituted in that city as soon as possible after the ratification of the present act. This council shall be charged with estab- lishing and organizing the international bureau, which shall remain under its direc- tion and under its control. It shall notify the powers of the constitu- tion of the court, and shall provide for its installation. It shall decree its procedure, as well as all other necessary regulations. It shall decide all questions which may arise touching the working of the tribunal. It shall have absolute powers as to the nomination, suspension or recall of the functionaries and employes of the bureau. It shall fix the pay and salaries and con- trol the general expenditure. The presence of five members at meetings duly convoked shall suffice to enable the council to deliberate in valid form. De- cisions are taken by a majority of votes. The council addresses each year to the signatory powers a report on the labors of the court, on the discharge of the adminis- trative services and on the expenditure. Art. 29. The costs of the bureau shall be borne by the signatory powers in the pro- portion fixed by the international bureau of the Universal Postal union. SEC. 3. OF ARBITRATION PROCEDURE Art. 30. The powers which accept arbitra- tion will sign a special agreement or com- promise (acte special; compromis), in which is clearly laid down the object of the dispute, as well as the extent of the arbitrators' powers. This document shall confirm the undertaking of the parties to submit themselves in good faith to the arbitrators' decision. Art. 31. The arbitral functions may be conferred on one single arbitrator or on several arbitrators, named by the parties at their own discretion, or chosen by them among the members of the permanent arbi- tration court established by this act. In the absence of a contrary agreement, the formation of the tribunal of arbitration shall be proceeded with as follows: Each party shall name two arbitrators, and they shall choose together an umpire (sur-arbitre). In case of a division of votes, the choice of the umpire shall be intrusted to a third power, named in agreement by the parties. If an agreement is not come to on this subject, each party shall designate a dif- ferent power, and the choice of the umpire shall be made in concert by the powers so designated. Art. 32. When the arbitrator is a sover- eign, or the chief of a state, the arbitra- tion procedure shall be exclusively settled by his high determination. Art. 33. The umpire is president de jure of the tribunal. When the tribunal does not include an umpire, it shall itself name its president. THE PEACE CONFERENCE. 105 Art. 34. Except there be a stipulation to the contrary, in case of the decease or resignation of one of the arbitrators, or his inability from any cause whatever to act, the vacancy will be filled in accordance with the rules established for nomination. Art. 35. The seat of the tribunal Is desig- nated by the disputing parties, or, in de- fault of such designation, by the tribunal of arbitration. The seat thus fixed upon can only be changed in consequence of a new agreement between the interested states, or, in case of necessity (raison majeure), by decision of the tribunal itself. Art. 36. The disputing parties have the right to name to the tribunal delegates or special agents, to serve as intermediaries between the tribunal and the litigants. They are, moreover, authorized to intrust the defense of their rights and interests be- fore the tribunal to counsel or advocates named by them for that purpose. Art. 37. The tribunal decides upon the choice of languages authorized to be em- ployed before It. Art. 38. The arbitral procedure comprises as a general rule two phases, the prelim- inary phase and the definitive phase. The first consists in the communication made by the agents of the disputing parties to the members of the tribunal and to the opposing party of all printed or written deeds and of all documents containing the cases of the parties. The second is oral and consists in the hearing before the tribnoal. Art. 39. Every document produced by one of the parties must be communicated to the other party. Art. 40. The hearing before the tribunal is directed by the president. It is recorded in reports set forth by secretaries ap- pointed by the president. These reports alone are to be regarded as authentic. Art. 41. The preliminary procedure being private and the debates being public, the tribunal has the right to refuse all new deeds or documents which the representa- tives of one of the parties wish to submit to it without the consent of the other. Art. 42. The tribunal remains free to take Into consideration new documents or proofs of which the agents or counsel of the dis- puting parties have made use in their argu- ments before It. It has the right to demand the production of these documents or proofs apart from the obligation of making them known to the opposite party. Art. 43. The tribunal can, moreover, re- quire from the agents of the parties the production of all the documents and expla- nations which it requires. In case of re- fusal the tribunal takes note of the fact. Art. 44. The agents and counsel of the litigating parties are authorized to present orally to the tribunal all the arguments they consider useful for the defense of their cause. Art. 45. They have the right to raise ob- jections or incidental points. The decisions of the tribunal upon these points settle the controversy, and cannot give rise to any further discussion. Art. 46. The members of the tribunal have the right to ask questions bf the agents and counsel of the disputing par- ties, and to demand from them explana- tions of doubtful points. Neither the questions put nor the observa- tions made by the members of the tribunal in the course of the debates can be re- garded as enunciations of the opinion of the tribunal in general or of its members in particular. Art. 47. The tribunal alone is authorized to settle its competence, by the interpreta- tion of the agreement to arbitrate as well as of other treaties which may be Invoked in the matter, and by the application of the principles of international law. Art. 48. The tribunal has the right to make rules of procedure for the direction of the arbitration, to settle the forms and periods within which each party will be obliged to finish its case, and to carry out all the formalities necessary for the receiv- ing of evidence. Art. 49. The agents and counsel of the disputing parties having presented all ex- planations and evidence on behalf of their cause, the president of the tribunal an- nounces the closing of the hearing. Art. 50. The 'deliberations of the tribunal take place with closed doors. Every decision is taken by a majority of members of the tribunal. The refusal of a member to give his vote must be noted in the report. Art. 51. The arbitral decision voted by a majority must state the reasons on which it is based. It is to be set down In writing and signed by all the members of the tribunal. Those members who are in a minority may, when signing, record their dissent. Art. 52. The arbitral decision is read out at a public sitting of the tribunal in the presence of the agents ftnd counsel of the disputing parties, or after they have been duly summoned. Art. 53. The arbitral decision, duly pro- nounced and notified to the agents of the disputing parties, definitely decides the question at issue, and closes the arbitration proceedings instituted by the agreement to arbitrate. Art. 54. Except In the case of a contrary provision contained in the agreement to ar- bitrate, revision of the arbitral decision may be demanded of the tribunal which has given the decision, but only on the ground of a discovery of a new fact, which would have been of such a nature as to exercise a decisive influence on the judgment, and which at the moment of such judgment was unknown to the tribunal itself and to the parties. The procedure of revision can only be opened by a decision of the tribunal ex- pressly declaring the existence of the new fact, possessing the character set forth in the preceding paragraph, and declaring that the demand is admissible on that ground. No demand for revision can be accepted three months after notification of the de- cision. Art. 55. The arbitral decision Is only ob- ligatory on the parties who have concluded the agreement to arbitrate. When it is a question of the interpreta- tion of a convention existing between a greater number of powers than those be- tween which the difference at issue has arisen, the disputing parties notify to the other powers who have signed the conven- tion the agreement to arbitrate which they 106 CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1900. have made. Each of those powers has the right to intervene in the proceedings. If one or more of them have availed them- selves of this privilege, the interpretation contained in the judgment is equally oblig- atory on them also. Art. 56. Each party bears its own ex- penses and an equal share of the expenses of the tribunal, without prejudice to the penalties which may be imposed by the tri- bunal against one or another of the parties. It is proposed to add the three following articles to those relating to the permanent court of arbitration: "Article A. The members of the court shall enjoy diplomatic privileges and im- munities in the exercise of their func- tions. "Article B. The bureau is authorized to place its premises and its organization at the disposal of the signatory powers for any cases of special arbitration. (Four le fonctionnement de toute juridiction spp- ciale d'arbitrage.) "Article C. The signatory powers pledge themselves to communicate to the bureau a copy of every arbitral stipulation agreed upon between them, and of all judgments resulting from arbitral jurisdictions other than that of the court. They pledge them- selves to communicate to the bureau the laws and regulations and all documents registering the execution of the judgments pronounced by the court." CLOSE OF THE SPANISH WAR. Our record of the Spanish-American -war closed last year with a very fragmentary and incomplete synopsis of the treaty adopted by the commissioners at the Paris conference on the 10th of December, 1898, That document is of so much importance and interest to the American people and may be so far-reaching in its effects upon the foreign policy of the United States that it Is worthy of an unabridged publication in this volume. The treaty was transmitted by the president to the senate for ratifica- tion on the 4th day of January, 1899, and is as follows: "The United States of America and her majesty the queen regent of Spain, in the name of her august son, Don Alfonso XIII., desiring to end the state of war now exist- ing between the two countries, have for that purpose appointed as plenipotentiaries: "The president of the United States- William R. Day, Cushman K. Davis, Wil- liam P. Frye, George Gray and Whitelaw Reid, citizens of the United States. "And her majesty the queen regent of Spain Don Eugenio Montero RIos, presi- dent of the senate; Don Buenaventura de Abarzuza, senator
