caught time and time again with chick
ems which he candidly confessed We're
stolen, but the officers had to content
themselves with having him sent to the

take him to higher court, The reason
for this is that the abandoned wretch
picks his stolen chickens at once and
throws the heads into a sewer, thus
making their Identification impossible.

PRESIDENT DIAZ.
and invite Him to Come to ashington
as the Nations Guest

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-In connection
with President Diaz's visit to Chicago
it is expected that President Mckinley
will meet the Mexican president al
Chicago and invite him to come tc
Washington as his guest and the guest
of the nation.
Diaz's route northward is expected
to be through San Antonio and st,
Louis. At the latter point he may
make a stop, as the Latin-Americar
club of that city have telegraphed to
the Mexican embassy here an urgent
request that the president honor st.
Louis with visit.
In recognition of the presence of {
foreign ruler within the country, it i.
probable that a representative of Presi
dent Mckinley will meet the Mexican
president at the United States border
and accompany him throughout hi;
stay in this country.
An army officer of high rank is likely
to, be selected for this service. No less
than IA invitations from that many
cities have been extended to President
Diaz to be their guest during his stay
in the United, States. But the under
standing among officials is that he will
not be able to accept many of these.

THE PHILIPPINE ARMY.
Four Departments Arc to Be Made, Three
Of Thorn to Be Commanded by
Major Generals

WASHINGTON, Sept. GA plan is un-
der consideration at the war depart
ment to create an army division of the
Philippines and divideth division into
departments on a basis similar to that
in Cuba. The idea is to create four de-
partments in the Philippines, at least
three of them to be commanded by
major generals The Philippines
heretofore have been known as
the department of the Pacific.
1t is expected that one depart
ment of the proposed new
division will consist of Gen. MacAr-
thurs command north of Manila, an
other will be Gen. Lawton's command
south of Manila, and a third will be a
new command to operate from Lin
gayen or Dagupen. A fourth depart
ment probably will consist of troops in
the islands south of Manila, which in
rlude the commands now at Iloilo,
Cebu and other points.
The scheme has not yet taken such
definite form as to determine the COM
mands of the division and depart
ments. There is no doubt, however, that
Lawton and Macarthur will remain
where they now are. and probably the
command in the islands south will be
under a brigadier general. Another
officer will have to be selected for the
department in the far northern part of
the island at the terminus of the Da-
gupen railroad.
The plan is to give each department
commander all the troops that can be
successfully operated and also insure
sufficient garrisons for all points taken.
Protection to the peaceable tribes
is one of the chief objects sought,
as representations made to the
war department indicate that many OF
the inhabitants do not want to fight
and if unmolested and relieved from
fear of attack by the Tagals will assist
in supporting the authority of the
United States and make it impossible
for the followers of Aguinaldo to sub

Especial Washington letter.

They who have never used the scapel
should not undertake to practice medi-
cine. They who have never studied law
should not act as law-givers and oracles
ON Jurisprudence. They who have never
studied international law should not
attempt to act as oracles for the direc-
ton of the foreign affairs of this re-
public.
These axioms are called forth by rea-
son of the multifarious expressions of
editorial and oratorical opinion con-
corning the policies which our federal
government should pursue in our for
eign relations, our diplomatic affairs
and oCr increased responsibilities grow
ing out of the war with Spain.
When we have studied the history OF
the finances and wars of a country we
have studied its diplomacy. Money is
necessary TO back diplomacy; and
diplomacy always falls back upon the
arbitrament of war for the enforcement
Of its conclusions. But diplomacy does
not cease when war begins. 1t goes on
just the same. Neutral nations at once
begin with unofficial mediation, follow
ing it with official mediation, for the
welfare of all nations.
The history of the finances and wars
of this republic, gives US the history OF
the diplomacy of our country. The
precedents established viii usually gov

should be assigned to the payment Of
ciaiLis due by France 70 citizens of thG
United States, if they should amount
to SO much.
1t is said that when Bonaparte gave
to the cession, he stated that, from the
nature of the new combination formin g
against him in Europe, he was forced
to sell the entire province, or hold it
at great sacrifice of men and money,
and, probably, be compelled to see il
captured. He preferred to transfer it
to the United States, adding that what
ever nation held the valley of the Mis-
sissippi would eventually be the most
powerful on earth, and that consequent.
ly he preferred friendly nation should
possess it rather than an enemy OF
France.
The cessiOn was made in three sep.
arate treaties, on April 80, 1903 First,
a treaty of cession; next, a convention
| stipulating method, manner and time
OF payment of the purchase money;
and, last, convention providing that
claims Of citizens of the United States
against France were to be paid at the
United States treasury 70 the amount
OF $3.50, 900, on orders from the minis.
ter of the United States to France,
which were to be given on the joint
Judgment or conclusion of the French
bureau to which these claims were re.
ferred, and a board of three commits.
| sioners on behalf of the United States
final decision, or certificates of diff
ference of opinion, to lie in the minis
ters of finance of France.
Thus the subject of Expansion"
came before the great men of the be-
ginning of our republic, and thus they
solved the problem. They seemed to
believe in getting what they wanted; |;
and they got it. Coveteousness, av-
arice, greed and grasping on the part
OF our people may not need encourage
ment, but we can study history and
international law together, while we
smoke our pipes. And we won't make
each other angry while we argue the
SUBJECT which is uppermost on the
minds of all OF our people just at this
time. We will just study the history
OF hnances and wars, and then study
diplomacy in an enlightened manner;
and each of us will reach our conclu-
slons, as Abraham Lincoln did, with
malice towards none, and charity for
all. SMITH D. FRY.

he would cede the whole province Of
Louisiana, and tn at he wanted SO, ,000, 900
of francs for it. Secrecy was to be OBJ
served. Mr.. Livingston refused to offer
more than 30,000,O0e francs. and assert
ed that he had no power to treat for tho
cession of the entire province.
1t was supposed at that time that in
structiOns were Issued to our ministers
that the treaty of cession by Spain to
France included the entire province of
Louisiana and the Floridas, but it was
found shortly afterward that it ceded
Louisiana only. If France declined to
sell, our ministers were to open nego.
tiations with Great Britain, so as to
prevent France from taking possession
of the province. NJ. Barbe Morbois
marquis of Barbe Morbois), who was
then at the head of the treasury of
France, had conducted the negotiations
with Mr.. Livingston. He had formerly
been secretary of the French legation tc
the United States, and was personally
known to Mr.. Monroe.
Mr.. Monroe arrived April 12, 1903. NJ
Morbois, the next day, asked imme-
diate action. After consultation, tbs
two ministers, on behalf of the United
| States, offered France 5O,OOO,0OQ francs,
| with an offset in the shape of suck
| claims in favor of citizens of the United
| States against France as should be es-
| tablished, estimated at from 20,000,O00
| to $4,000, 900 francs. This was declined.
The ministers of the United States were
embarrassed by the fact that the ten
der of territory was beyond their in
structions to buy or receive. Rumors
of a large English fleet sailing for
Louisiana for the purpose of capturing
it were rife, and the English press was
urgent in demanding such action.
| Bonaparte had, no doubt, intended
just before this period. 10 send the
French feet, then at San Domingo, to
Louisiana, to receive and hold it. Ber'

Expansion began on April 80, 1903, when
France, in three separate treaties, ceded
to this republic the territory of Louis

in history as ''The Louisiana Purchase" :"

Of the, United States, and compiled by
Thomas Donaldson, man of marvellous
research. He. devotes many pages to
an exhaustive history of the buying
from France of the vast province of
Louisiana. He epitomizes the events
progressively leading to the colonial
ton of that part of the province which
is now the city of New Orleans as fol-
lows:
In 1541 De Soto reached the Mississip-
pi river.
In 1878 Father Marquette descended
the Mississippi to its mouth.
In 1850 La Sale descended the Missis-
sippi river and took possession of the
country adjacent to it ia the name of
Louis XIV. of France, and called it

In 1899 Lemoine d'Iberville founded
the first colony at Biloxi, but dying soon
after, HenilIe took command.
