Seymour. arrived at Monterey to pro-

On the fourth day of July, 1884. two
barks which had been sent BIZ Sir
Walter Raleigh to discover and annex
the American continent north Of
Florida arrived of the coast. Sailing
along for 1870 miles, they entered the
mouth Of a river and took formal pos

of England, naming 1t Virginia. They
landed on Roanoke island, afterward
occupied by the first English settle

colony, consisting of 10 persons sent
out in April, 1885, was abandoned in
less than a year, the settlers carrying
back with them to Europe the first to-

the British government. This was ex-
actly twenty-five years before the
signing of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. Curiously enough, the doc
ument was rejected by the colonies
because it put too much power into
the Hands Of the king; and it was We
toed in England because 1t gave too
much power to the assemblies of the
colonies.
On the fourth day of July, ITO. um-
brellas were first introduced into this

The massacre of Wyoming valley
occurred on July 4, 1776.
In the previous autumn two COM
panies had been raised in the valley
and had been ordered to Join General
Washington. Several stockaded forts
had been built during the summer,
but those left behind to guard them
were mostly old men.
A raiding force of tories. Canadians
and Indians. under Maj. John Butler,
a tory Of Niagara. entered the valley
and set fire to some of the forts.

On the fourth day of July, -1s46, the
Independence of California was de-
clared.
There was at that time in California

about two hundred Americans, nearly
all OF them men Of exceptional viger
of body and alertness of mind. or
Mexicans there were 5000, and the
aboriginal Indian population num-
bered perhaps 100000.
Capt. John c. Fremont had been
sent to California on an exploring ex-
petition a year earlier. He was on
his way to Oregon when he was over
taken by an officer sent from Wash

to wait and to cooperate with the Pa
cific squadron in case Of hostilities
with Mexico. The message had been
in writing, but the officer was obliged

Accordingly Fremont returned to
California and took up his headquar-

A few days later. June IA, a party
of fourteen Americans organized
small revolution on their own &C.
count, captured Sonoma and declared
war against Mexico. Needing a flag
and not daring to use that Of the
United States, they made one. not
out of an old lady's petticoat, as has
sometimes been alleged, but from a
Mexican rebosa or scarf Of un-
bleached muslin a yard wide and five
feet long. Along the bottom they
sewed a strip Of red flannel and in
the left hand corner they painted
star in red ink. The middle of the
flag was occupied by picture of
grizzly bear, beneath which were the
words california Republic"
The temporary government thus set
up is known in history as the Bear
Flag Republic. Its banner now orna-
ments the rooms of the Pioneer So
.iety in San Francisco. The grizzly
bear was rather crudely drawn, and
the Mexicans said it was a pig, call
ing the flag the pig flag.
Meanwhile news had come of the
outbreak Of war along the Rio Grande
and on July Fremont called meet

claimed the independence of Cali
