of the West found an outlet to
foreign market through the port
of New Orleans. The conces-
sion was vital to the new States,
because the condition Of land
transportation at that time alb
solutely forbade any trade by
way of the Atlantic ports.
But on Oct. !, 1900, Spain
ceded by the treaty of ST. H.
defonso the whole territory to
France, and the next day the
Spanish Governor at New Or
leans abrogated the treaty pro
visions relating to the free nav
igation and the right of depos-
it.
When the news of these trans.
actions reached Washington
there was great CONSERVATION.
A resolution was introduced in
to the Senate which declared
that the free navigation of the
river and the privilege Of de-
post at New Orleans was a
clear and undoubted right of
the United States; that the late
infraction of this right by Spain
was an act of aggression hos
tile to the honor and interests
of the United States; that the
people of the West were deeply
concerned in the possession of Il
place of deposit on the island
of New Orleans; that the Presi-
dent should be authorized to
take possession of some such
tit place of deposit" The Pres
ident was further authorized to
recruit military force to- carry
out this purpose. This meant
war with both Spain and
France. 1t was argued that

In 1902 President Jefferson in
Structed James Monroe and
Robert Livingston American en-
VOWS at Paris, to buy an island
and dock yard and negoti-
ate for the free navigation OF
the mississippi River. For this
purpose he placed at their dis
posal S2,OOO,OOO to smooth
matters. which meant to brite
the First Consul's Ministers. In
stead of following his instruc-
tions they bought magnificent
domain, the negotiation being
the largest real estate transac-
ton in the worlds history.
This IS, in few words, the
story of the acquisition OF the
Louisiana Territory by the
United States.
The burden Of the American
case was the free navigation of
the Mississippi River, which
had been secured, as was
thought, by the treaty with
Spain of 1875, but was imperil'
ed by the retrocession of Louis.
lara to France.
The whole territory known as
the Province OF Louisiana was
a French possession until 1903
wien it was coded to Spaip.

DELANEY SAVED THE GAME
PITCHER DROVE IN THE WINNING
RUN IN THE NINTH INNING
State Championship In an EX-
citing Game With ROsemOunt.

Charles Delaney, the athletic clubs
star twirler, has not pitched much ball
of late, owing to a sprained ankle, but
to him is due the credit Of winning yes
terday's game for the state champion
ship between the st. Paul Athletic club
and the Rosemount Clippers. In the
sixth inning, after the Clippers had
scored seven runs, making the game
II to in their favor and with no one
out, Delaney went into the box, and
during the remainder Of the game al
lowed but three scattering singles, be-
sides tanning six. Then in the ninth,
with the score tie, he drove a liner
into the left garden, which scored
Mitchell from first and thereby won
his own game. From the sixth inning
the game was very exciting. The
Athletics, with defeat almost certain,
fought every inch of the game, and,
although luck seemed to be against
them on numerous occasions, they pull
ed out in the eighth and ninth innings
by hard hitting, assisted by one or
two errors of the Clippers. The game
was noted for frequent and hard hit
ting by both sides. In the sixth the
Athletics made a couple of costly err
rors, notably a wild throw which gave
four runs, and this with four hits gave
the RosemOunt boys their lead, which
they felt sure could not be overcome.
But the Athletics have demonstrated
on three occasions at Lexington park
that uphill games are their long suit
and they maintained their reputation
yesterday.
This makes but two defeats for the
Rosemount boys during the season,
while the Athletics have not lost a.
game in Minnesota, although playing
all summer, and are therefore justly
entitled tot he amateur championship
Of the state.
