Among the important laws enacted at
the second session of the seth congress
were these; Reorganizing the army on
the basis of a force of from 10000 to
100000 men; materially reducing the war
revenue taxes; increasing the member
chip of the house of representatives from
357 to 1856 by reapportioning the con-

mander of tAe flying squadron was CEN
sured in the severest terms. The author
declared that the admiral was guilty of
disobedience of orders in failing TO pro-
coed TO Santiago when ordered to do so
and that the Brooklyn's famous loop"
was the result of his cowardice
AS the historian was connected with
the navy department as an employee Ad-
miral Schley could not overlook the
charges and on the 22d of July wrote a
letter to Secretary Long asking for an in
Vestigation. His request was complied

Sept 20 until Nov. T. when the court took

the members of the court and the second
by Admiral Dewey alone. Rear-Admirals
BenLam and Ramsay, comprising a ma
1ority of the court condemned Admiral
Schley in general terms. but Admiral
Dewey in a minority report declared
Schley was entitled to the credit for the
victory of Santiago.
Secretary Long approved the majority

added by Admiral Dewey was not proper
President Roosevelt ordered the imme-
date discharge from the employ of the

Isthmian Canal Treaty Signed.
The outlook for the building of an 18TH
mian canal in the near future became
much more promising when on Nov. IS
LORD Pauncefote and Secretary Hay
signed new treaty on behalf of their
respective governments. This agreement
superseded the old Clayton-Bulwer treaty
and did not contain the Objectionable
features of the document which was so
amended by the United States senate as
10 be unacceptable to Great Britain. Its
most salient feature was the implied
right OF this country to fortify the canal
whenever it is built. The agreement W. s
laid before the senate and was ratified
by that body Dec. 16 by vote Of ~ to 6.
the canal commission appointed to inves-
ugate the two available routes-the Mic
aragua and the Panama-reported in
favor of the former, and a bill authoriz-
ing the building of ship canal at Mic
aragua was at once introduced in the
mouse OF representatives. Late in Deem
Der 1t was reported from Paris that the
French Panama company was willing to
sell its property and rights for S40,000.O00,
and 1t is, therefore. possible that the
claims of the Panama route viii receive
serious consideration at the hands of
congress.

Relations with Cuba.

The relations to exist between the
United States and Cuba were determine,
at least temporarily. by the adoption of
the Plat resolutions by congress in June.
Briefly. these provide that the govern
ment of the island shall retain its indie
pendence of all foreign countries. that
the United States may intervene to pre-
~arve such independence, that the acts
the United States during the period of
military occupancy shall be ratified. that
sanitary plans for the prevention of cpl
denies shall be carried out and that this
country shall be permitted TO buy or e .se
naval or coallng stations at points to be
agreed upon.
On the 2lst of February the constitution
as agreed to by the members of the
Cuban convention was signed by the
members of that body. II is based large
ly upon that of the United States. Dec.
81 Gen. Tomaso Estrada Palma was
elected the first president Of Cuba.
Free trade between Porto Rico and the
United States went into effect July 25. the
anniversary of the landing of the Ameri-
can troops on the island in 1889. Civil
government under the provisions of the
Foraker act was established in May. 1900,
and the first governor was Charles III.
Allen. He was succeeded this year by
William H. Hunt.

President McKinrey.s Murder.

The facts in the assassination OF Presi-
dent William Mckinley are still too
wildly remembered to require extended
mention. He had entered upon his sec
ond term under the most favorable aus
pieces. Everything pertaining to the flu
ture seemed bright with promise when,
without a moments warning, he was shot
down by an anarchist. The fatal bullet
was fred by Leon Czolgosz while the
president was receiving the public in the
IT nipple of Music at the Pan-American
exposition in Buffalo on the afternoon of
Friday Sept g. He fingered until early
on the morning of the 18th OF the same
month. when he passed away. with the
words: Gods will, not ours. be done"
The grief Of the people was as deep and
sinceso as It was widespread. kilograms
OF cohdolence came from all parts OF the
civilized world and from persons In all
stations of life.
The assassin was speedily tried. con-
vlcted and the sentence OF death exccu-
ted CzolsosZ d'ed IN the electric chair
In Auburn prison on the morning Of
Oct q.

The Year Politically.

Politically, the year in the United
States was a rather eventful one. VIII
liam Mckinley began his second term as
president Of the United States on tho 4th
of March, when he was inaugurated
with Theodore Roosevelt as vice-presi-
dent In September he was stricken
down by an assassin and Mr.. Roosevelt
became the chief executive. No other
changes took place at the time, but in
December the postmastergen Charles
y. Smith. and the secretary of the treas
ury. Lyman ]. Gage, resigned. Henry c.
Payne of Milwaukee was chosen to sue
ceeds.the former and Leslie NJ. Shaw,
governsr of Iowa. the latter.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1902-01-09

Two events overshadowed all others in
the first year of the new century. One
was the assassination of William Mchin-
ley, president of the United States, and
the other the death of Queen Victoria,
bringing to a close the longest and in
many respects the most remarkable
reign in British history. Each of the two
great English speaking nations of the
world was thus called upon to mourn
for its highest representative of author
tty and to face what at one time might
have been a serious crisis in its AFFAIRS;
but in neither case was there even the
semblance Of political or industrial dis
turbance or of governmental instability.
Theodore Roosevelt became president and
Edward VII. king precisely in the manner
prescribed by law and the close OF 1871
finds each country as tranquil and secure
as II was twelve months ago.
In the United States the affairs of
greatest Importance before the public,
aside from the murder of the president.
were the new Hay-Pauncefote canal
treaty, the Schley inquiry, the Supreme
court decisions in the insular cases, the
formation of the United States Steel cor
poration and other gigantic combinations
of capital, the panic in the New York
stock market and the princely gifts to
educational institutions by Andrew Car
negie, John d. Rockefeller, ID. X. Pear
sons and others.
