Gastein on August 90 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, part of the
greater duchies, was assigned to Prus-
sia absolutely; and from this uncon-
sidered trifie Bismarckk subsequently
took his title Of duke of Lauenburg.
Early In June. 1865, 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 Prussian governor of Schleswig
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 tbat
province-which he did. Austria and
Prussia recalled their ambassadors
and both nations appealed to the diet
Austria demanding that Prussia shop,d
be disciplined and Prussia DEMANDING
that Austria should get out. Bismarcl,
declared that If the Austrian motion
prevailed Prussia would declare tho
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 Sen
tember 3, 1886. Austria agreed to tbe
dissolution of the Germanic confeder.

German affairs, Prussia was to anner

the Articles of Confederation and the
ConStitution-all of which he was In
strumental In preparing.
The committee elected Jefferson
chairman and instructed him to make
draft of a declaration. The com
mittee submitted its first draft June %.
July . the congress adopted the res
olution presented by Lee and resolved
to take further consideration on the
morrow. On the third the committee
had not finished its labors, but on July
1t presented a completed draft to the
body, and after a long debate, which
continued until the night, the con-
gress adopted the Declaration of In
| dependence. After the committee of
the whole had debated the paper for
hours Benjamin Harrison reported to
congress that the Declaration of Inde-
pendence had been agreed to by the
committee of the whole. The paper
was again read and ordered printed.
The Declaration was committed to
the printer, Dunlap, Immediately, and
the broadslde was ready on the fol
lowing day, July 5, when it received
the signatures of John Hancock and
of Charles Thomson. president and
secretary of congress, respectively, au-
thenticating the copy to be forwarded
to the governments of the thirteen
states. The signatures were followed
by the words: "By Order and in Be
half of the Congress"
Copies of the broadside were sent

manding officers of the continental
troops. 1t Is not certain that each of
these bore the signatures of the pres
ident and the secretary.
On July 10 it was ordered thnt the
Declaration passed on the fourth,
should be fairly engrossed on parch-
ment with the title and style of The
Unanimous Declaration OF the Thir-
teen Unitel States of AEerica,' and
that the same, when eEgrossed, be
signed by every member of congress"
On August 2 the journal records
that "The Declaration of Independ-
ence, being engrossed, and compared
at the table, was signed by the men,
bers"
AS to the signatures to the Decla-
ration, a volume might be written.
The common understanding is that the
fifty-five men whose names are ap-
pended were present in congress on
July 4, 1776, and asserting TO the
Declaration. This understanding is
far from the truth.
Signatures appear on the document
of men who were not members of the
congress at the time the Declaration
was agreed on. 1t has been suggested
that the proper Interpretation of the
orders of congress to have the docu-
ment signed by every member, was in
tended to include those who became
members about this time.
But Henry Wisner of New York,
who voted for independence, did not
sign, and Robert Morris, who did not
cast his vote for the Declaration, did.
Wisner was absent in New York on
August to attend the provincial con-
gress, to which he had been elected
| and evidently never had an opportu-
nifty to affix his signature to the doc
| ument.
There was reason for the delay in
| appending the signatures apart from
| the time necessary to have the docu-
ment engrossed. 1t was intended TO
have the Declaration go out to the
world as the unanimous declaration of
all the colonies, and on July Fourth,

even at that she knew that the shudder

This Is about the way the average
schoolboy-not to say some older
Americans-thinks the Declaration Of
Independence came into existence, the
independence of the United States of
America was secured and the Fourth
! of July became n national holiday.
While some of the details concern
ing the Declaration of Independence
Will always be matter of argument
among historians, the sequence of
events Is clear and runs like this:
Fighting between the Americans and
the British began April 10, 1T75, at
Lexington. Even after the fighting
was on 1t was some time before the
movement for independence gained
much headway in the public mind.
February 13, 1776, a committee ap-
pointed to prepare an address to the
country presented Its report to con-
gress. This report reads in part:
1--WE have been accused of carrying
on the war for the purpose of estab-
fishing an empire. We dlsavow the in
{ tentiOn. We declare that what we
aimed at and what we are entrusted
by you to pursue is the defense and
re-establishment of the constitutional
rights of the colonies"
1t was not until June Z, 1776, that
Richard Henry Lee of Virginia intro
duced resolution which was to be-
come only less familiar than the Dec
laration itself. This resolution con-
tains the famous sentence: THAT
these United States are and of right
ought 30 be free and independent
states that they are absolved from
all allegiance to the British crown,
and that all political connection be-
tween them and the state of Great
Britain is and ought to be dissolved"
This resolution was debated many
times by congress. The chief speak
ers for separation were John Adams,
his cousin, Samuel Adams; Roger
Sherman, oliver Olcott, Richard Henry
Lee and George Wythe. John Dick
inson of Pennsylvania led the opposi-
tlon for delay. prominent among his
followers being John Jay, James Will
son, James Duane, Edward Rutledge
and Robert r. Livingston, but 1t vas
evident from the beginning that they
were in the minority.
To save time a committee was ap-
pointed on June IL to frame the Dec
laration of Independence. Strange to
say, Richard Henry Lee, who was the
father of the resolution, and by par
liamentary right should have had the
craftsmanship of the committee, was
left out of 1t. The reasons for this
omission have been variously ex-
planned. 1t is fact that he was alb
sent when the committee was named,
having been called home by the illness
of his wife.
The five members We're Thomas JEFF
ferson of Virginia, John Adams of
Massachusetts. Benjamin Franklin of
Pennsylvania, Roger Sherman of Con-
necticut and Robert r. Livingston of

in the congress and in national affairs.

Now Gees to Senate ~,
By a vote Of nearly three TO one,

oition, yesterday passed a bill for
its enforcement, with provisions
and penalties 50 drastic as to bring
from the men who framed II the
prediction that 1t would forever
Suppress the liquor traffic on
American soil.
Exactly 100 members-52 Demo-
Gratis and 4s Republicans-refused
to support it. Against this even
100, the prchibit:onists, putting up
solid front to the very last, pol
led 2S7 votes.
A broad smile spread over the
faces of the prohibition leaders, for
their work in the House was ended
and the measure was ready for the
Senate, where many CT its restric-
tiors may be modified or stricken
out. The cloak room runner per-
sisted that all of this legislative Ell
fort might end on the shoal OF a
Presidential veto, although the gen.
eral view was that it would be sign
ed as passed.
Before the House put the bill on
its passage one final but feeble hand
was reacehd forth 20 strike 1t down
and put in its place brieIer and

the form of three paragraph bill
by Representative 1goe, Democrat

and offered yesterday IN the form
of a motion to reccmEnit. which
meant it's substitution for the gene
raj enforcement measure, if the
House saw fit. But the House did
not. Mr.. Tgoe's motion was de-
fcated, 255 to 1856, and this vote
analyzed meant that at least sc

WILSON GAVE SHANTUNG

President Wilson in conversations
with Republican Senator's yester-
day. admitted sole responsibility for
the Shantuny settlement in the
peace treaty, whereby this great
province of China, with its millions
of Chinese Inhabitants, is to be de-
livered to the control of Japan.
The Senators were told that Lloyd
George and Clemenceau refused to
participate in the discussion of ia
pans claims to Shantung because
of the secret treaties which Eng
land and France had made with ia
pan covering this particular item in
the Japanese demands.
Thereupon, it was stated, the en-
tire matter Of appeasing Japan and
satisfying her demands for terrific
rial increase was turned over to
President Wilson. Senator's were
told that the President personally
negotiated the settlement with ia
pans representatives and agreed to
give SRantung to the japanese En-
pire. The plan of settlement was
Then submitted to the other men,

The President pleaded Japan's
cause with the Senators by pointing
out that the dislodgment of the
Germans from Shantung was of Vi
tai Importance to the transport Of
troops from New Zealand and Aus
tralia to help the British cause in
France. With Germany in posses
sion of Kiau-Chau. as fortified
naval base, it would have been i'm
possible, the President said. for
troops to have been transported
from these British possessions to
Europe.
