convinces the reader that Clinch has
done wisely in Incorporating these rec
ords in book devoted to the study of
mission development upon the Western
coast. The authors chapter upon 1.-The
Evolution of the Spanish Mission Sys-
tenn" deals with the efforts Of Las
Casas, the father of Mexican missions,
to free Spanish conquest from the
brutal and degrading features of slav-
cry and wanton butchery and to make
conversion a matter of persuasion
rather than of compulsion. To this pio-
neer Jesuit, whose field of endeavor ex-
tended from Venezuela to the Colorado
and whose service covered nearly a
half-century, the author devotes atten-
ton usually withheld by other writers.
In discussing the expulsion of the
Jesuit order from Spain and the Span
lsh domain the writer takes exception
to the explanations Of HitteIl and Tut
hill on the score of their inadeouacy.
this without reason, as 1t seems to me,
for all historians agree that the reason
Charles III may have had for causing
the expulsion of the Jesuits remained
forever a secret with himself and his
confidential Ministers. The two quota
tions from the Spanish Kings lips
which Clinch gives do not diffuse any
new light on the mystery.
In discussing the Franciscans' meth.
DDS of Indian control and mission dis
cipline the author of this work shows
strong pro-padre prejudices, if such a
term may pass current. Against the
majority of the authority, which holds
that the rule Of the mission fathers
was desootic though beneficial to the
native Californians, Clinch takes his
stand immovably. Claiming that the
priest who lodged charges of cruelty
and despotic rule against Father La
suen, president Of the missions. was in
sane, the author continues to show that
the franciscan rule was naught but the
most paternal. In this he proves his
assertions by citing results only. and
leaves unexplained the various un-
biased reports Of strangers who had
occasion to visit the missions.

presenting 1.-The .lamentable spectacle

Not one Of the least interesting men
with whom this American correspond
ent had the pleasure of a close ac-
Quaintance was the late NJ. de Blowitz,
king of news gatherers' as the author
dubs him. Haynie once had the oppor-
tunity to throw big news scoop"
into the path Of this remarkable jour-
nalist and in so doing had an oppor-
tunity to study the methods of the man
at first hand. Here was one who could
not only get the news of an empire
or q republics secret negotiations first,
but could often predict with remark
able accuracy just where the marble
would land in the diplomatic game Of
roulette. Prince Bismarck once de-
clared to Haynie that De Blowitz and
De Blowitz alone of all the correspond

The author Of 1.-The Captains and the
Kings did not confine his acquaintance
to the circles OF the state affairs. With
Ernest Renan he was on intimate
terms; Victorien Sardou freely dis
cussed with him his ideas on the
drama; he was once privileged to hear
Gounod play and sing a selection from
"The Marriage Of Figaro" in the musi-
clans own private cabinet; the studios
Of Gerome. Meissonier and Breton were
always open to him. Haynie tells q
story of how Ambrose Thomas. the

discovered upon his library table the

girl OF the exquisite opera.

European correspondency, and
during the time he spent upon the Con-

had occasion to rub shoulders with
kings, princes and diplomats, must

are many adversaries, and during
the course Of his sermon drew con-
trast between conditions existing in
