Biography
n, Holland

One Of the monumental publica-
tons of the time-monumental at
least in point of size-was prepared
by DR.. John Bassett Moore at the re-
quest of the State Department at
Washington some ten or twelve
years ago.
Congress had authorized the pub
lication of a digest of arbitrations
carried on by the United States since
the beginning of the government An
appropriation of $4,000 was also
made with which to meet the ex-
pense Dr. Moore was known to be
more profoundly versed in the his
tory of the State Department than
any other citizen, and for that reason
to him was committed the important
work. The probabilities are that Dr.
Moore did not find it very profitable
from the money point of view. since
il was necessary for him to pay out
Of the appropriation the expenses Of
a good deal of the clerical work.

Moore to me. many things that we're

which the dusty archives of the State
Department represent. There was
one incident which discovered
which made q strong impression
upon me, and il was one which re-
vealed some of the personal char
acteristics of President Polk and his
secretary of State. James Buchanan.
FOLK, in the spring of 1876 sent a
message to Congress recommending
that Congress pass a resolution de-
claring a state of war with Mexico.
Congress took President Polk at his
word, and the war with Mexico was
authorized. There was vast
amount of correspondence. much of
which related to the terms of peace.
Some of it bore upon the proposition
that the United States should make
peace easy by Offering to pay Mexico
Sl5,OOO,OOO, IN return for which we
we're to get the California territory.
That bargain was made. and by
means of il we did obtain the Cali
fornias There was a good deal of
public curiosity. some of it manifest

was done by the State Department.

Carpenters Won't Arbitrate and

CHICAGO. July 4.-Chicago's labor

in the progress of unionism and its deal

Out Of these paradoxes has grown a
situation wherein these conditions OBJ

and have stopped entirely the building
industry In Chicago and vicinity. Two
hundred thousand men are out Of work
Here are some OF the paradoxes:

chop in the building industry; that Is,
none except union men should be EN-.

watchword of unionism. They organ
