Ihursday dug. 2gM, 1884.
Hon. Andrew Fulton, Mayor Of The
Cay Of Pltsburgh-SIR--I have the
honor TO submit to you the enclosed copy
Of q communication received this day
from Frederick I. Frelinghuysen. Secre.
tary Of State at Washington, d. G., in re-
& nd to tho difficulties exisiing between
the Austro- Hungarian Consul at Pitts
burgh and the Chief of Police of the same
city, and TO request that 1t receive your
prompt attention and that you communi-'
cate to me at your earliest convenience
the result Of your action in the premises.
Respectfully yours,
ROBERT Il. PATTIsoS.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WAsHINGTsN, August, 1854.
TO His Ercelieney, RoJt h. Pattison,
Governor Of Peaasyicania.
SIR. Baron Sch@ffer, Minister OF
Ausiro- Hungary at this capital, recently
brought to the attention OF this Depart
ment the fact that on recent ceremo.
NAL occasion, that of the anniversary OF
the birthday OF His Majesty. the EN-
poror OF Austria and King OF Hungary,
the Austro- Hungarian Consul Mt Pitts
burgh displayed the flag OF that nation
in front OF his Consulate and was per-
emptorily ordered by the Chief OF Po-
lice to take II down, it being diplayed in
violation of municipal ordinance which
prohibited the hanging out OF swinging
sigma as street distractions. Mr. Scham.
berg, the Consul in question, refused TO
remove the dag, claiming that he had
the right to hoist it in pursuanos Of the
existing treaty stipulaiions between the
United States and Austro-Hungary. In
an interview between Baron Scheffer
and Mr.. John Davis, Assistant Secretary
of State, it was suggested that Mr..
Braun, Chief Of Police Of Pittsburgh,
might have acted in ignorance of the
Consul's rights under the treaty, and
the Baron, having received report that
the flag had remained untouched
all day, seemed disposed to
adopt that charitable view and
allow the matter to drop without further
notice. Baron Schaeffer in u note to me
OF the 23d inst states that the Chief Of
Potice has pursued the matter so far as
to sue the Consul for disobeying his or
dcrs and has asked for Mr.. Schamberg's
arrest, and under these circumstances
invokes the interference OF this Depart
ment. The fourteenth article OF the
Consular Convention Of July, 1870; be-
tween the United States and Austria
Hungary provides that Consuls, General
Consuls. Vice Consuls and Consular
Agents, shall be at liberty to place over
the chief entrance to their respective Of
fees arms of their nation with inscrip-
tons Of the Consulate. General Consul
ate, Vice Consr.ate, or Consular Agency,
as tho case may be. They shall
also DO at liberty to hoist their flag
on board of vessels employed
by them in a port for the discharge
Of their duty. 1t is unnecessary to OBJ
serve to your excellency that under the
Constitution of the United States the
treaty in question is q part OF the su-
preme law of the land and has the same
force and effect as statute of the United
States, and is to be obeyed in the same
manner, any State law or municipal or
dinance to the contrary Notwithstanding.
have the honor therefore to request
that your excellency will bring the sub
ject Of these suggestions to the early at;
tention CT the superior authority of
Pittsburgh, advising such functionary,
presumably the Mayor. that any pro-
ceedings which may have been instituted
by the Chief of Police against the Con.
sui shall be at once dismissed without
any charge TO that gentleman, and at
the same time that courteous and fit-
ting explanation be made to him. Amer
lean Consuls have precisely the same
rights in Austria. Hungary as are claimed
by Mr.. Schamberg in this instance,
and / have no doubt but that you will
coincide with me in the sentiment that
international courtesy, no less than
treaty obligations, demand that these
rights should be respected by all local
authorities of the United States. will
thank you to make known to me the re-
suit of such action as you may deem
proper to take in the matter.
| have the honor TO be, sir, your obe-
dient servant,
FRED. T. FKELINGHUYsEN.
Mayor Fulton says he was absent
when the difference between Consul
Schamberg and Chief Braun occurred,
and that he will take no action till he
consuts his attorney.
Agricultural statistics.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l.-Prof. j. r.
Dodge, statistician Of the Agricultural
Department, has issued book upon the
industrial economy of the United States,
which presents some of the striking re-
suits of his investigation Of his statis-
tics of the manufacturing and agricul-
tural production of the country for twen-
ty years. Within that period, owing to
labor.saving machinery, agriculture has
more than doubled its production with a
smaller proportion of farm labor, and
now there will be glut of farm products
unless this proportion shall be farther re-
duccd. The question of an outlet to
foreign markets is discussed and the fact
is shown that surplus of food
products merely pays for imported
food and averages and that
trade cannot be extended without
ruinous prIce. The distribution
of labor in occupations in this and
other countries is shown with reference
to comparative thrift and progress. 1t
is found, invariably, that inequality of
distribution of industries retards
development, and that exclusively
agricultural nations are always poor.
The phenomenal progress Of the Central
West is presented in deductions from
statistics showing that half of the culti-
waited area of the United States lies in
fourth of it's territory producing more
than three -fourths of some of the princip
al crops. The fact is shown that the
Ohio valley is the most fully occupied
body of land, Ohio having 96 per cent.
of her surface in farms. Indiana $50,
Illinois IS 4, Kentucky S4, and no other
state as much. 1t is shown that already
three tenths OF the manufactures of the
United States are produced within
the Central West in less than three
tenths area of the country.
