PREFACE. 

Among the events which made the year 1901 notable in the 
annals of time were these: 

The assassination by an anarchist of William McKinley, presi- 
dent of the United States, and the assumption of the chief executive's 
duties by the vice-president, Theodore Roosevelt without causing 
the slightest disturbance in the political, industrial and financial 
world. 

The death of Queen Victoria, bringing to a close the longest 
and in some respects the most remarkable reign in British history, 
and the accession to the throne of King Edward VII. 

The death of Li Hung Chang, the most prominent figure in re- 
cent Chinese history. 

The formation of a new and powerful federation, or common- 
wealth, by the states of Australia. 

The culmination of the tendency toward concentration of 
capital and combination of industrial interests in the organization 
of the most gigantic of modern trusts, the United States Steel cor- 
poration, with a capital of $1,100,000,000. 

The giving of princely gifts, especially to the cause of education, 
by Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, D. K. Pearsons and 
others. 

The unfeigned alarm of the nations of Europe at the American 
"invasion" of their home markets an alarm apparently justified 
by the greatest volume of exports in the history of the United 
States, amounting for the fiscal year ended June 30 to the enormous 
total of $1,605,219,874. 

The facts needful, for reference concerning these and numerous 
other matters relating r to;tfi wcjrtdiih general and the United 
States, Illinois and Ctiicagb'in p'ar'tictfla'r *a*re given in the following

*This and the following table embody such official figures as are available in regard to 
wheat and corn, together with commercial or other estimates for a number of countries for 
which official data are not furnished. There are many countries which not only issue no 
official figures, but for which not even rough estimates, or information upon which to base 
them, can be had; and these are necessarily omitted from the tables. They are. however, for 
the most part countries whose production enters to a very limited extent into the world's 
commerce in the articles named, and the part of the world's production covered by the tables 
embraces substantially all that is of much commercial importance.

STOCK-MARKET PANIC. 



In May, 1901, a struggle took place be- 
tween James J. Hill, president of the 
Great Northern railroad, and J. P. Morgan 
& Co., on one side, and the Harriman in- 
terests, represented by Kuhn, Loeb & Co., 
on the other, for the possession of the North- 
ern Pacific railroad. Speculation in many 
lines of stock had been exceedingly active 
prior to that time and a popular craze for 
speculation had set in. The contest be- 
tween the two powerful factions added 
greatly to the excitement, which culminated 
Thursday, May 9, in a serious panic on the 
New York stock exchange. Northern Pa- 
cific stock was cornered and forced xip to 
the extraordinary price of 51,000 a share. 
Most of the minor and many of the large 
speculators lost heavily, though there were 
no failures, owing to the action of the banks 
in forming a special loan fund of about 
520,000.000 and the offer of holders of North- 



ern Pacific stock to settle at 150. As North- 
ern Pacific went up other stocks went down. 
The following table shows the effect of the 
panic on some of the leading securities:

CENTER, OF POPULATION AND ITS MEDIAN POINT. 

The center of population is the center of gravity of the population of the country, each 
indiTidual being assumed to have the same weight. What is known as the median point is the 
point of intersection of the line dividing the population equally north and south with the line 
dividing it equally east and west. In computing the former, distance from the center is taken 
into account, while in the latter it is not. The population of Alaska and Hawaii, though 
included in the census of 1900, is not included in the following tables (prepare;! by Henry Gan- 
nett, the geographer; :

and of Hawaii. The urban population in all cases includes persons living in cities and towns 
of 8.000 or more inhabitants. On the basis of places of 4,000 or more inhabitants the urban pop- 
ulation of the United States in 1900 was 28,411,698, or 32.9 per cent. On the same basis the per-

SMALLEST BOOK IN THE WORLD. 



What is said to be the smallest book in 
the world is one written in the Gurmuthl 
language and originally found in the golden 
temple at Amritsar, India. It is about the 



size of a postage stamp and bound in red 
silk with stiff covers. There is one copy in 
the British museum and another In the 
Field museum.

AMERICAN TTAT.T. OF FAME. 



"The Hall of Fame for Great Americans" 
was built by the University of New York in 
1900-1901 from the proceeds of a bequest of 
$100,000 made for that purpose. The build- 
ing forms part of the university quadrangle 
on University heights, overlooking Harlem 
river. It is designed to contain tablets and 
other memorials to 150 distinguished na- 
tive-born Americans who shall have been 
at least ten years dead. Names are selected 
by a board of 100 electors made up of edu- 
cators, historians, publicists, editors and 
authors. Fifty were to be selected in 1901 
and five each year thereafter, but only 
twenty-nine were agreed upon; the other 
twenty-one for 1901 will be chosen in 1902. 
On the 30th of May, 1901, the hall was dedi- 
cated and tablets in memory of twenty-nine 
freat Americans were unveiled. The names 
ollow in the order of preference shown them 
by the electors: 

1. George Washington. 

2. Abraham Lincoln.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1902. 



WEATHER FORECASTS AND SIGNALS. 
The weather bureau of the United States I redistribution by means of telephones and 



department of agriculture publishes daily 
more than 100,000 weather bulletins, not 
counting the forecasts in the newspapers. 
Most of these bulletins are in the form 
of postal cards printed by postmasters 
from telegraphic reports and sent by theni 
to outlying towns for display at suitable 



railroads from established centers, so that 
there are comparatively few accessible 
places which do not now receive daily 
weather forecasts within a very short time 
after the observers have completed their 
work. The old system of conveying informa- 
tion about the weather by means of flag 



points. There is also an elaborate system of 1 displays is also in general use. 
EXPLANATION OF WEATHER FLAGS. 



No. 1. 
White flag. 



Clear or 
fair weather. 



No. 2. 
Blue flag. 



BLUE 



Rain or snow. 



No. 3. 
White and blue 




No. 4. No. 5. 

Black triangu- White flag with black 
lar flag. square in center. 




Local rain or 
snow. 



Temperature. 



Cold wave. 



When No. 4 is placed above No. 1, 2 or 3 it indicates warmer; when below, colder; 
when not displayed, the temperature is expected to remain about stationary. During the late 
spring and early fall the cold-wave flag is also used to indicate anticipated frosts. 

EXPLANATION OF STORM-WARNING FLAGS. 






Northwest winds. Southwest winds. Northeast winds. Southeast winds. "Hurricane"' signal 



A red flag with a black center indicates that a storm of marked violence is expected. The 
pennants displayed with the flags indicate the direction of the wind: red, easterly (from 
northeast to south); white, westerly (from southwest to north). The pennant above the flag 
"mlicates that the wind is expected to blow from the northerly quadrants; below, from south- 
srly quadrants. 

By night a red light indicates easterly winds, and a white light above a red light, westerly 
winds. 

Two red flags, with black centers, displayed one above the other, indicate the expected 
approach of tropical hurricanes, and also of those extremely severe and dangerous storms 
which occasionally move across the lakes and northern Atlantic coast. Hurricane warnings 
are not displayed at night. 



STEAM WHISTLE SIGNALS. 

A warning of from fifteen to twenty sec- 
onds duration is sounded to attract atten- 
tion. After this warning the longer blasts 
(of from four to six seconds duration) refer 
to weather, and shorter blasts (of from one 
to three seconds duration) refer to tempera- 
ture; those for weather are sounded first. 

Blasts. Indicate. 

One long Fair weather 

Two long Rain or snow 

Three long Local rain or snow 

One short Lower temperature 

Two short Higher temperature 

Three short Cold wave 

THERMOMETERS COMPARED. 

There are three kinds of thermometers, 
\vith varying scales, in general use through- 
out the world the Fahrenheit, Reaumur and 



Centigrade. The freezing and boiling points 
on their scales compare as follows: 

Thermometer. Freezing pt. BMingpt, 

Fahrenheit 32 degrees 212 degrees 

Reaumur zero 80 degrees 

Centigrade zero 100 degrees 

The degrees on one scale are reduced to 
their equivalents on another by these formu- 
las: 

Fahrenheit to Reaumur Subtract 32, mul- 
tiply by four-ninths. 

Fahrenheit to Centigrade Subtract 32. 
multiply by five-ninths. ' 

Reaumur to Fahrenheit Multiply by nine- 
fourths, add 32. 

Reaumur to Centigrade Multiply by five- 
fourths. 

Centigrade to Fahreheit Multiply by 
nine-fifths, add 32. 

Centigrade to Reaumur Multiply by four- 
fifths.

ter, whether sealed or unsealed, and all matter 
closed against inspection, either by nailing, 
sewing, wrapping or in any other manner, so 
that the contents cannot be removed from 
the wrapper and be returned thereto without 
mutilating either, are subject to the first-class 
rate of postage, 2 cents per ounce or fraction 
thereof. 

Special Delivery .-Any article of mailable 
matter, bearing a 10-cent special-delivery 
stamp, in addition to the lawful postage, is 
entitled to immediate delivery on its arrival 
at the office of address between the hours of

delivery class; and between the hours of 7 
a. m. and 7 p. m. if the office be other than a

authorized by law to determine the quality, 
form and size of postal cards, and to prescribe 
the regulations under which they may be sent 
in the mails, and it is not within the discre- 
tion of others to change the card so adopted. 
Such change of form or face, such as trim- 
ming, punching holes, or mutilation of any 
kind, will render the stamp impressed thereon 
valueless, and such mutilated card offered for

postage, viz.: One cent if the message is en- 
tirelv in print, and the letter rate if it is 
wholly or partly in writing.

excluding anything which is properly a book 
from the privileges extended to periodicals, 
no matter whether the book appears under

dressed. Matter not addressed to a postoffice 
cannot be forwarded. Write or print your 
name and address, and the contents, if a pack- 
age, upon the upper 'left-hand corner of all 
mail matter. This will insure the immediate 
return of all first-class matter to you for cor- 
rection, if improperly addressed or insufficient- 
ly paid; and if it is not called for at destina- 
tion it can be returned to you without going 
to the dead-letter office. If a letter, it will be 
returned free. Undeliverable second, third 
and fourth class matter will not be forwarded 
or returned without a new prepayment of 
postage. When a return card appears on this 
matter either the sender or addressee is re- 
quested to send the postage. Register all 
valuable letters and packages. Registry fee, 
8 cents, which, with the postage, must be fully 
prepaid. Limited indemnity on presentation

Russia and the United States are the great Y 
oil-producing countries of the world. In the io ( 
year 1900 the former produced 9,883,520 ioJ 
metric tons, or 2,951,318,020 gallons, and the i 
latter 8,329,279 metric tons, or 2.590,405.769 ioj 
gallons. The two together make about nine- [ 
tenths of the world production. American if; 
oil is superior in the production of illumi- joe 
nants, while the Russian produces more 18 c 
lubricants. The value of the former is muoh 7 
greater, as the following table, prepared by l 
the bureau of statistics of the treasury de- Taj 
lartment, will show. The figures indicate

THE MONROE DOCTRINE. 



The famous "Monroe doctrine" was enun- 
ciated by President Monroe in his message 
to congress Dec. 2, 1823. Referring to steps 
taken to arrange the respective rights of 
Russia, Great Britain acd the United 
States on the northwest coast of this conti- 
nent, the president went on to say: 

"In the discussions to which this interest 
has given rise, and in the arrangements by 
which they may terminate, the occasion has 
been deemed proper for asserting, as a 
principle in which the rights and interests 
of the United States are involved, that the 
American contii ents, by the free and in- 
dependent condition which they have as- 
sumed and maintain, are henceforth not to 
be considered as subjects for future colo- 
nization by any European power. * * * 
We owe it, therefore, to candor and to the 
amicable relations existing between the 
United States and those powers to declare 
that we should consider any attempt on 
their part to extend their system to any 
portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to 
our peace and safety. With the existing 
colonies or dependencies of any European 
power we have not interfered and shall not 
interfere. But with the governments who 
have declared their independence and main- 



tain it, and whose independence we have, on 
great consideration and on just princip.es, 
acknowledged, we could not view any inter- 
position for the purpose of oppressing them 
or controlling in any other manner their 
destiny by any European power in any 
other light than as the manifestation of an 
unfriendly disposition toward the United 
States." 

The doctrine has been accepted and de- 
fended by American statesmen, generally 
speaking, since Monroe's time. It was in- 
sisted upon with emphasis by Secretary of 
State Olney in his letter to Mr. Bayard 
July 20, 1895, and by President Cleveland In 
his special message to congress Dec. 17 of 
the same year, the subject of each document 
being the position taken by the United 
States with relation to the boundary dis- 
pute between Great Britain and Venezuela. 
President Cleveland declared: "It may not 
be amiss to suggest that the doctrine upon 
which we stand is strong and sound because 
its enforcement is important to our peace 
and safety as a nation and is essential to our 
free institutions and the tranquil mainte- 
nance of our distinctive form of government. 
It was intended to apply to every stage of 
our national life and cannot become obso- 
lete while our republic endures."

PROPORTION OF MEN TO WOMEN. 



Statisticians in Germany have figured out 
the proportionate number of men and women 
in the various countries of the world. They 
find that Europe, with a population of 334.- 
000,000, has a female excess of 3,750,000. In 
Asia the excess of males is 16,000,000 In a 
population of 815,000,000; In Africa more 



than a million In a population of 27,000.000, 
in America more than a million in a popu- 
lation of 102,000,000 and in Australia 500,000 
in a population of 4,000,000. Out of the 
1,283,000,000 inhabitants of the earth who 
have been enumerated the net excess of 
males is 15,333,000, or more than 1 per cent.

SUPREME COURT DECISION 

Opinions in all but two of the so-called 
insular cases were handed down by the 
United States Supreme court May 27, 1901. 
Those involving most directly the policy of 
the government toward the islands acquired 
through the war with Spain were the De 
Lima and Downes cases. The former was 
a suit to recover duties on imports from 
Porto Rico after the ratih'cation of the 
treaty of Paris and before the Foraker 
tariff law went into effect; the latter was 
a suit to recover duties on imports from 
Porto Rico after the tariff act became 
operative. 

In the De Lima case the court, after ex- 
haustive reasoning, declared: "We are, 
therefore, of the opinion that at the time 
these duties were levied Porto Rico was not 
a foreign country within the meaning of the 
tariff laws, but a territory of the United 
States, that the duties were illegally ex- 
acted and that the plaintiffs are entitled 
to recover them back." Opinion by Justice 
Brown, Justices Fuller, Gray, Pec-kham, 
Harlan .and Brewer concurring, and Justices 
White, Shiras and McKenna dissenting. 

In the Downes case the court declared: 
"We are of opinion that the island of 
Porto Rico is a territory appurtenant and 
belonging to the United States, but not a 
part of the United States within the reve- 
nue clause of the constitution; that th 
Foraker act is constitutional so far as it 



in January, 1901, as a democrat, to succeed 
Marion Butler, populist.

partment commander of Minnesota in 1895

manders-in-chief Gobin, Sexton and Shaw; 
elected commander-in-chief at the Cleve- 
land encampment Sept. 13, 1901. 

VOGUE, MARQUIS DE Born 1829; author 
of a number of works on history and 
travel; is an authority on eastern art and

ber of the French academy May 30, 1901. 

WILKIN, JACOB W. Born June 7, 1837, in

Kendree college and admitted to the Illi- 
nois bar In 1866; elected judge of the Cir- 
cuit court in 1879 and re-elected in 1885;

mon schools and at the military academy

icine at the University of Louisville in 1867

lege in New York in 1873; founded the

IS THE INSULAR GASES. 

imposes duties upon imports from such is- 
land, and that the plaintiff cannot recover 
back the duties exacted in this case." The 
court further declared: "We are also of 
opinion that power to acquire territory by 
treaty implies not only the power to govern 
such territory, but to prescribe upon wb?t 
terms the United States will receive .ts 
inhabitants and what their status shah be 
in what Chief Justice Marshall termed 'the 
American empire.' " Opinion by Justice 
Brown, Justices Gray, Shiras, White and 
McKenna concurring, and Justices Harlan, 
Fuller, Brewer and Peckham dissenting. 

Justice Harlan, in dissenting from the 
opinion of the court in the Downes case, 
said: "In my opinion congress has no ex- 
istence and can exercise no authority out- 
side the constitution. Still less is it true 
that congress can deal with new territories 
just as other nations have done or may do 
with their new territories. This nation is 
under the control of a written constitution, 
which is the supreme law of the land, and, 
the only source of the powers which our 
government or any branch or officer of it may 
exercise at any time or at any plare. The 
idea that this country may acquire territory 
anywhere upon the earth by conquest or 
treaty and hold it as mere colonies or 
provinces is wholly inconsistent -with the 
spirit and genius as well as with the 
words of the constitution."

PARTY PLATFORMS. 
Nearly all of the platforms adopted at 
the state conventions held in 1901 dealt 
with local issues to the exclusion of na- 
tional questions. That adopted by the 
democrats of Iowa was a notable exception 
in that it reaffirmed the Kansas City plat- 
form of 1900 as follows: 

"We, the democrats of Iowa, in conven- 
tion assembled, hereby reaffirm the prin- 
ciples of the democratic national platform 
adopted at Kansas City July 5, 1900, and, 
without surrendering our convictions or 
abating our loyalty to our national poli- 
cies, we believe this campaign to be par- 
ticularly one that should be confined to 
state issues." 

The Ohio democrats refused to reaffirm 
the Kansas City platform and the result 
was another convention of the free-silver 
men, who put a ticket of their own in the 
field. The bglters, however, were few in 
number. 

The platform adopted by the Virginia 
democrats reaffirmed allegiance to the na- 
tional democratic party and declared ad- 
miration for its leaders from Jefferson to 
Bryan, but otherwise had nothing to say on 
the silver question. It denounced criminal 
trusts and illegal combinations of capital. 
In the Pennsylvania democratic platform 
nothing was said about silver or the other 
issues of the campaign In 1900. Local state 
issues alone were dealt with. The same 
was true of the platforms adopted by the 
democrats of Massachusetts, New Jersey 
and Rhode Island. 

RACE QUESTION IN MARYLAND. 

At the Maryland democratic convention 
the feature of the platform adopted was 
the following: "The democratic party 
represents more than 40,000 majority of the 
white people of Maryland. They, in com-

which ended the life of our beloved presi-

was aimed not at the gentle and lovable 
McKinley, but at the republic and the 
majesty of law, which guarantee liberty 
of person and safety of property. Any doc- 
trine which justifies or encourages assas- 
sination is utterly hostile to civilization 
and the welfare of mankind and must be 
no longer tolerated in this country, and we 
demand and insist that laws, state and na- 
tional, be enacted for the ef
