TREATY OF PRAGUE, 1866.


Austria and Prussia having obtain
ed the joint possession of Schleswig-
Holstein by the treaty of Vienna, the
question now arose what should be
done with 1t. The two powers who
had overcome Denmark argued over
the division Of the spoils for nearly
two years. The question Itself might
have been settled, but 1t was only
symptom of larger question which
had for centuries been agitating Ger
many, the question MS to whether the
northern section or the southern Sec
tion should predominant; and Bis
marck saw in 1t an excuse for driving
Austria forever out of participation
In German affairs-the only way by
which Prussia could be made supreme.
Austria began to see that she had
been made cats paw and favored
the claims of the young duke Of Aug
ustenburg to the sovereignty Of the
duchies. that young man having set
up court Mt Kiel. In fact King VIII
liam and the Prussian parliament were
inclined to favor the dukes preten-
sions. But Bismarck carried every
tnlnp before llllH duu Cuuscu iht Ming
to set up n claim to be by descent en-
titled to the throne Of the duchies him
self. The time for breach with Aus
trIa, however had not yet arrived. Won
Moltke reported that the Prussinn
army was ready; but Bismarck desired
to assure the help, or at least the neu-
trality of the great powers before he
struck. He went personally to Biar-
ritz and Ind series of interviews
with Napoleon III. What dreams he
encouraged the emperor in. what he
promised him and what he showed him
by way of argument, are only sur
misses.
Demands Of Bismarck.
In December. 1864, Bismarck de-
cared that Prussia would be satisfied
with nothing less than the incopora-
tion of the duchies in her military,
commercial and postal systems. In
the duchies the Austrians were en-
barked on a policy Of obstruction and
the stolen land was In disorder. King
william wrote to the Austrian emperor
that If Austria did not take steps to
preserve order In the duchies he would.
The emperor and the king met at

Buena Vista on February % of the
next year. In March of 1S47 General
Scott captured Vera Cruz and march
ed to the City of Mexico. winning the
battles of Cerro Gordo April 1S, Con-
treras August 10, Churubusco August
20. Molino del Rey September s. and
Chapultepec September 13. The next
day he stormed the Belem gate and
entered the Mexican capital.
When Vera Cruz fell President Polk
decided that 1t would be well to have
along with Scott's army commission
er authorized to sign u peace with the
Mexicans as soon as they had been
sufficiently defeated to be amenable
to terms. n. p. Trist, chief clerk Of
the state department. was chosen and
having been given the rough draft of
treaty reached Vera Cruz on May 6
of 1S47 and Joined Scott. Mr.. Tist
got no opportunity to exercise his dip
lomatic powers until after the battle
OF Churubusco. The morning after
that battle Scott was met by commits
siOners from the Mexican president.
Santa Anna, with proposals for an
armistlce. This was agreed to and
Mr.. Trist wrote to the Mexican minis
ter Of foreign relations that he was
ready to enter into negotiations.
A Treaty Without Authority.
Five Mexican commissioners met
Mr.. Trist at village lying between
the American and Mexican lines which
bore the impossible Aztec name Of
Atzcopozalen. Mr.. Trist wanted Low
er California but was willing to con-
cede that point, but he would not give
up the demand for New Mexico (then
comprising what Is now New Mexico
and Arizona) south of the thirty-sev-
enth degree. Nor would the Mexicans
give It up. The negotiations came to
nothing, the armistice was ended and
Scott resumed his advance. Counter
propositions which the Mexican COM
missioners had made were referred
by Mr.. Trist to Washington, but he
was generally thought to have been
too wavering at the village with the
unpronounceable name-and, without
waiting to hear from him officially,
President Polk revoked his authority
and sent him a letter of recall.
After the capture Of the City Of
Mexico the Mexicans saw that further
struggle was hopeless. California had
meantime been occupied by Commo-
dores Sloat and Stockton and the land
forces of Generals Fremont and
Kearny. Santa Anna resigned the
presidency, which passed to General
Anaya. who summoned congress at
Queretaro. One of his first acts was
to appoint commission to proceed
to the City of Mexico and confer with
Mr.. Trist. Mr.. Trist had already re-
celved his letter Of recall. The Mex
lean commissioners, with singular rea-
soning suggested that they had mot
been officially notified Of the American
envoy's recall' and Mr.. Trist agreed
to treat. Mr.. Trist met the Mexican
commissioners at Guadaloupe-Hldalgo
town about three miles north Of the
City Of Mexico. where the treaty was
signed on February 2, 1S4S.

HINTS FOR THE
POULTRY GROWER

The Pennsylvania experiment Sta
tion recently conducted some tests on
the fattening of cockerels for market.
Two types of breeding and care were
represented by the fowls selected, viz. !:
ordinary farm-raised and closely man.
aged, egg-laying types. Various ra-
tions and methods of confinement
were compared. The number of fowls
forming the group representing a par
ticular method was ten In each case.
The results showed that farm-raised
poultry Of the Plymouth Rock and
Rhode Island Red breeds may be fat
tened In crates or pens ut a cost for
food of 10 to - cents per pound of
gain. No difference appeared in the
gains from crate and pen-fed fowls,
but with fowls Of these kinds close
confinement resulted In greater econ
omy per pound of gain. Thin fowls
made the cheapest gains. FIne-ground
grain and ratlons rich In protein gave
the better results. Milk was superior
to meat scrap as n source of protein.
In the case of the more active, egg
laying breed, represented by Leghorn
cockerels, fattening was profitable
with fowls weighing up to two and n
half pounds. but not beyond that limit,
at present food and poultry values.
The cost Of gain with this breed rang
ed from 1926 to IL cents per pound.
With the lighter birds. regular grow
ing ratlons were superior to special
fattening mixtures. and close confine-
ment was not as advantageous as con-
ditlons permitting some exercise.

FAMOUS
PEACE TREATIES
BY H. IRVING KING
TREATY OF GuADALUPE-HIDALeo, 1s4e.

BY H. IRVING KING

In April of 1s45 the United States
entered into war with Mexico. BY
September 1847, the American flag
as pacif1st orator Of the day put 1t
waved in insolent triumph In the
halls of the Montezumas," and on Feb
ruary of the following year wholly
unauthorized private citizen signed on
the part of the Americans treaty
by which the United States obtained
undisputed sovereignty over terri
tory more than four times the size of
the German empire as 1t was before
the recent debacle, paying Mexico in
return $15,OOO.OOO and assuming 49,
2oO.OOO of Mexico's debts. BY the
treaty with Spain In 1919, the United
States had, indeed, acquired Florida,
but she had released her claims to
IeXas, over part of which ut least
she had claimed n right under the
Louisiana Purchase. When the last
spanish successor of Cortez as viceroy
OF Mexico was deposed in 1921, Mexico
succeeded to the right OF Spain In
Texas, but left that vast territory as
forlorn and undeveloped us it had been
under Spanish rule.
A year of war ensued. Everybody
remembers the name Of Sam Houston
and the fact that Thermopylae had
Its messengers of death; the Alamo
had none" From 1886 to 1S45 Texas
was an independent republic under the
banner Of the Lone Star"
In 1S45 1t was annexed to the United
States and n dispute at once arose
with Mexico over the southwestern
boundary of the newly acquired state,
Mexico claiming that boundary to be
the Nueces while the United States
claimed 1t to be the Rio Grande. John
Slidel, afterwards so well known in
the Mason and Slidel affair of the Civil
war, was sent to Mexico to try and
arrange the matter in dispute, but was
refused hearing.
Early In 1846 General Taylor was
ordered to move to the Rio Grande.
Mexico had severed diplomatic rela-
tions with the United States upon the
annexation of Texas. General Taylor
established his headquarters at point
opposite Matamoras. His force con-
sisted of little over $500 regulars.
Learning that the Mexicans were pre-
pairing to cross the river higher up.
Taylor sent out n reconnoitering party
consisting of SO dragons under Cap
tain Thornton who, on April 20, was
surprised and captured by the Mexi-
cans after the loss of 16 men. The
war had begun. The news of Thorn
toms capture reached Washington on
May 0. President Polk sent mes
sage to congress stating that Mexico
has passed the boundary Of the United
States and shed American blood on
American SOIL" Congress passed a
bill providing for the enrolment of
$4,000 volunteers and war appro-
priation of $1O,OOO.OOO, congress agree

Gastein on August 20, 1865, and after
talking matters over agreed that Duke
Augustenburg should be thrown over
board and that Prussia should have
Holstein. At the same time the lit
tie duchy of Lauenburg. a part Of the
greater duchies, was assigned to Prus-
sla absolutely; and from this uncon-
sidered trif1e Bismarck subsequently
took his title Of duke of Lauenburg.
Early In June. 1866, Prussia brought
forward In the diet at Frankfort n
proposition to reform" the Germanic
confederation. the reform to consist of
the expulsion OF Austria, the establish
ment of an elected German parliament
to take the place of the diet and the
formation Of an army of North Ger
many to be commanded by the king
Of Prussia. Naturally these drastic
propositions were rejected and Bis
marck frankly warned the diet that
he would destroy the confederation.
Austrian Motion Prevailed.
The Prussinn governor of Schleswir
on June 10 announced that owing to
the failure Of Austria to preserve Or
der In Holstein he was compelled to
take over the administration of that
proyince-which he did. Austria and
Prussia recalled their ambassadors
and both nations appealed to the diet.
Austria demanding that Prussia should
be disciplined and Prussia demanding
that Austria should get out. Bismarck
declared that If the Austrian motion
prevailed Prussia would declare the
confederation ended, and threatened
with loss Of sovereignty such German
states as should support Austria in
the coming war. The Austrian motion
prevailed and Prussia withdrew from
the confederation. All the German
states except Mecklenburg sided with
Austria while Italy became an ally of
Prussia and attacked Austria
Negotiations for peace began and n
treaty was signed at Prague on Sep
tember 8. 1866. Austria agreed to the
dissolution Of the Germanic confeder-
alton and to withdraw entirely from
German affairs. Prussia was to annex
Schleswig- -Holstein, Hanover, 6 portion
of esse-Darinstadt, the electorate of
Hesse and the city Of Frankfort.

Blue Sun Phenomenon Has

The expression "once in a blue

SO widely separated by time as to al
most never recur, is not merely fig
ure of speech. It has basis of as
Economical fact. The phenomenon has
been twice observed In both Italy and
Austria and once in England. There
Is no available record Of 1t having been
noticed In America.
A blue sun has been recorded only
once. That was in August, 1888, in
Java. day or two before there was
very violent eruption of large vol
cano about hundred miles from Ba-
tavia. The eruption ended with an
explosion in which range of noun
tains was destroyed, vast cavity be-
Ing left In Its place, more than a thou
sand feet deep at one point. Billions
Of tons of rock, mud and dust were
thrown high in the air and the sun
was obscured over large area. At
Batavia the darkness became so deep
that street lamps had to be lighted
In the middle Of the forenoon. That
condition prevailed until toward sun
set. Then the volcanic cloud began to
clear away, leaving the sun visible.
Instead, however. of 1t being red, as
1t usually Is when viewed through a
smoke cloud, 1t appeared as mag
nificent deep-blue disk, remaining that
color until it sank below the horizon.
