SYNOPSIS.

Senator John Calhoun is offered the
portfolio of secretary of state in Tyler's
cabinet He declares that if he accepts
it means that Texas and Oregon must be
added to the Union. He plans to learn
the intentions of England with regard to
Mexico, through Baroness Won Ritz, Sc
cret spy and reputed mistress, OF the
English ambassador Pakenham. He
sends his secretary, Nicholas Trist to
bring the baroness to his apartment.
While searching for the baroness home,
enter. The occupant is the baroness, who
says she is being pursued The pursuers
are shaken off. The baroness consents to
see Calhoun. Nicholas notes that she
has lost a Slipper. She gives Nicholas the
remaining slipper as pledge that she
will tell Calhoun all, and, as security:
Nicholas gives her trinket he intended
for his sweetheart, Elizabeth Churchill.
Nicholas is ordered to leave at once for
Montreal on state business, by Calhoun,
who has become secretary OF state: and
plans to be married that night. Tyler
warns Pakenham that interference by
England III the affairs of this continent
will not be tolerated. The west de-
mands that the joint occupancy of Ore
gon with Great Britain cease, and has
raised the cry Of "Fiftyfour, Forty or
Fight" The baroness tells Nicholas she
will do her best to prevent his marriage.
She returns the trinket and he promises
the services of Congressman cambridge,
a rejected sutton of Elzabeths, to assist
in the arrangements for the wedding and
entrusts him with the return of the Slip

Lead in Salt Industry

The six leading states in the salt
industry are Michigan, New York,
Ohio, Kansas, Louisiana and Cali
fornia, and in 1909 these six states
produced salt valued at $7,714,557.
