On Jan. 'Js, 17!i!i, Hamilton writes a

thoughts occur: "As it is every mo

Louisiana long since attributed to

In execution, it Is very important that
the executive should lie clothed with
poxxer to meet and defeat so dangerous
an enterprise. Indeed, if it is the pol

semi-hostility, 'lis preferable lo termi

our wisest practical statesman lays
down, four years and three months be

vijtil propositions; 1. That xve should
take possession of Louisiana and the
Florldas for ourselves. l', AVe should
not alloxv them to fall into hands of an

Colonel Andrew Flllcott, who had ren
dered valuable services in laying out
and 'surve;, ing the city of Washington,
lie xvas ably assisted in his delicate
mission by txxo bravo and discreet, of
llcers, Captain Isaac CJulon and Lieu
tenant Fiercy S. Pope.
Colonel Klllcott established his camp
on an eminence in Natchez, about live
hundred yards from the well garrl
Mjiled Fort Panmuro. Here lie dis
played mast high the Hag of the United
States, demanded the surrender of the
fort, and declining the ninny polite in
vitationn to go to New Orleans and
elsexvliere, announced that he xvould
not move, except lo the point xvhoro
he xvas to begin surx'eylng the line of
dcuiarkntion. In the mount line Gener
al Wayne had sent Lieutenant Pope
with forty men to occupy a post within
supporting distance. The gallant Pope
reported to the resolute tOllicot! his
readiness for action. That both sol
diers xvere heroes appears from a letter
addressed to his "Fellow Citizens of the
District of Natchez" by Pope, apjirox'ed
by Klllcott ,iu which the former de
clares: "I will, at all hazards, protect
the citizens of the Ignited States from
every act of hostility." This courage
ous course of action in the presence of
such superior Spanish force, brought a
happy issue out of one of the most se
rious of our many differences with
Spain, flayoso de Lemos, the Spanish
commissioner, xvho became governor of
Louisiana while these trouble!! xvere
pending', xvas in artifice, procrastina
tion and prevarication, a past grand
master. To postpone dellx-erlng the
district and to stave off tlie inevitable
hour, he had to go to Nexv Orleans;
pretended to have no instructions; bad
asked for Instructions and must axvait
their arrix-nl: xis threatened with an
invasion from Canada; was llablo to
an attack by by Great Britain by sea,
and so on ad iiiiinlUuu. The plain
truth was he xvas trying' to Incite the
Indians to make war on us; he xvas
still doleing out bribes to .those de
spicable traitors, Thomas Poxvers, Ben
jamin Sebastian and other base desert
ers; both he and Cnrondelet xvere talk
ing and playing unti-adnilnlstratlou
politics like Giles, Taylor and the worst
Virginia politicians, and lastly, the
versatile Spaniard xvas hoping and
praying to profit by the death of the
patriot Wayne, as that xvould bring the
old pensioner of Spain, General Wilkin
son, in chief command, It is due to
Wilkinson to relute that he repulsed
these last overtures, his Inordinate am
bition being satisfied with the com
mand of the American army, seeming
ly for life. Not soVelllshly patriotic at
this time xx-us another self-condemned
man, Senator AVllllnm lllount, of Ten
nessee, xvho xvas found guilty of prof
fering alii lo the Hritlsh forces In Que

uncommon agitation xvas excited ill the

that New Orleans could no loncer be

On October 1, 1S00, the important
treaty of San lldefoiiso xvas concluded
betxx-een the king of Spain and the first
consul of France, Napoleon Bonaparte.
As this belongs to the class of secret
treaties and did not take effect, so Tar
as It related to Louisiana, until the fol
lowing March, its consideration relates
to the nevt administration. Although
lids xvas a treaty in which xve had no

modified tlie history of this republic.

It is a matter of general regret that
the material.-, for the history of upper
Louisiana are so meagre In extent.
The xvell and favorably known John
I. Henderson, of Missouri, has ox

archives and the ofllclal records of the

to be the best sources of historical in

would hardly lie suitable or adequate

azine ho xvus Just out of col
lege and xvanteil to be a liter
ary man. With engaging
frankness he told his ambition to Mr.
liland, the proprietor, and Mr. Bland
smiled indulgently and said that his
editorial positions xx-ere filled. The
publisher did not add that there xvas
only one desk in the editorial room, and
that The Open Air Magazine xvas to
be conducted chiefly for advertising
purposes.
Henderson had read about the vulue
of determination, and so he clung
faithfully to Mr. Pland's side and be
came 11 nuisance lo tho promoter of the
licxv magazine. In order to be rid of
him, Uland turned him over to Colonel
Terry, the head of the ndx-crtislng de
partment. Mr. Uland had often done this sort" of
tiling before, and Colonel Terry xvas
mad.
'"Che old man liar, shoxvd another kid
on to me," growled the Colonel to Jim
my Tate, his lieutenant, "nnd I'm good
and sick of it. He'll rain xvhat little
chance xx-e've got to make this sheet go.
Tie xvill be no more use In here than
a piano player."
Tho Colonel xvas about right. Hen
derson knexv nothing of advertising
and cared less. Indeed, Mr. Uland had
hinted something about tho position be
ing merely temporary, and so, when
Henderson took his desk Just outside
Colonel Terry's gorgeous private office,
he determined to spend his time there
In writing stories and not to bother
much about tho sordid business going
on around him. He xx-as awarded the
task of checking space and seeing lo
the proofs, but In a few days ho suc
ceeded in mixing things up In such a
marvelous fashion that his duties xvere
transferred to an aspiring stenographer.
Tho ignominy did not disturb him In
the least.
"Tills dude Is too good for his job,"
said Colonel Terry.
Mr. Tato winked approvingly.
"Guess xve'll have to send hlni nut ,n

'11 take it out of hlni."
"Sure," assented Jimmy, grinning.
"Hoy!" ronrod Colonel Terry. "Ask
Mr. Henderson if he xvill bo good
enough to stop this xvay."
Mr. Henderson xvas good enough, and
stopped accordingly.
"Mr. Henderson," began the colonel
xvltli Impressive condescension, "noxv

Jimmy Tato gazed xvitli evident ad

"We uro anxious," said he, "to secure
some lingo advertising from the leather
trade. 1 want you to go through the
district and Interview the leading
firms."
Henderson's wandering eyes became
focused on tho colonel's diamond scarf
pin. "What shall I say to them?" he
asked.
The mannger coughed to conceal his
mirth, and Tate chuckled behind a
uiouer.
"I leave that to your good business
judgment," replied the colonel, sol
emnly. The young man bowed. It xvas plain
to him that, f he xvas willing to stoop
to such nrosalo duties he could bo a
great advertising man,
"How many pages shall I get, sir?"
he Inquired,
"Twenty," answered Terry, explos
ively, "That Is all xvo have room for.
You might tell them that xvo shall have
twenty leather pages In our October

"Good morning," ,ald Henderson, and
walked out,
Jimmy Tate xvas slapping his leg In a

"There ain't txventy lines In tho whole

"I am on The Open Air MtiKuzlne,"
Said ho, xvlth an apologellc smile.
Mr. AVhlte nodded politely. "Indeed."
he said. "You xx-rlte up athletics, I sup

"Oh, yes!" replied Henderson. This
xvas splendid; the old srcntlomau ro
Kiirded hlni as tin author.
"And you've coma to me for ma
terial?" xvent on Mr. White.
"Yes," wild Henderson, "But not ex

xx-o're going to have n lot about leather
in the October number, and"
"Oh, ndx-ertlslnfr. eh? You're an ud-x-ertlslng

, "Well, not exactly," explained Hen
derson enKorly. "I'm only an advertis
ing' man temporarily. My real plnce,
you see, is In the editorial room."
"And they send an editor out to get
advertising?" Mr. White laughed, and
young Henderson looked xvenrlly ut tin
tips ofhls shoes. Tho merchant touched
a hell and sent for Air, Struthers,
"Mr, Struthers," he said, "tills Is Mr,
Henderson of the editorial department
of The Open Air Magazine lllnnd's

article about the Innlhor houses In tho
October Issue. Do xvo xvant to take any
ndx-ertlsing space?"
"Sort of a special trade number, Mr.
Henderson?" asked Struthprs,
"I suppose you'd call It that," Hen
derson answered. "We shall havo
txventy leather pages, ut least."
Mr. Struthers opened his eyes.
"Txventy pages? That's a great xvvlto
up. Let 1110 see xvhat's your rate?"
Henderson considered, Terry Jmd wild
nothing about tho rate. Ho nulo a
hurried calculation.
"Oh, about thirty dollars," ho fnlt
ered. "Thirty dollars u page, 1 guess,"
Mr, Struthers opened his eyes still
wider,
"That's cheap enough. Isn't It?" sug
gested Mr. AVhlte.
"Why, yes," suld Struthers. "Tate

"Oh" begun Henderson, hut Mr.

"I presume this Ih u special thing,
coming, as it does, from the editorial

Mr. Struthers?"-
"I should suy xvo might take a page,
sir," replied Struthers. It xx-us appar
ent that the "old man" wanted to try

Accordingly Henderson produced a
contract book and the bargain xx-as
concluded,
"Does Bland send you to fumluidge

It meant that there xvas something es
pecially valuable in the medium.
So the mere exhibition of the AVallace
& AVhlte contract x-ns suillcicnt to con
vince young Amos Becker. Henderson
repealed xvhat Colonel Terry had told
him about the txventy pages, and
Becker misunderstood him, just us Mr.
White had done.
"I don't see," said Amos to himself,
"xvhy u paper like The Open Air Mag

It xvould he idle to folloxv Hender

colonel's prlvnto room, mid he xx'as
summoned to an intervlexx-,
"Mr. Henderson," said the publisher
gravely, "Colonel Terry tells me that
you are not Interested In this sort of
work,"
"Not at nil, sir," replied Henderson
promptly.
"Well, I'm afraid of course xve shall
be sorry to ahnni, Colonel, Is Mr, Hen
derson engaged ut present In anything
important?"
The colonel hesitated, protending to
consider,
"I have not quite finished xvhat you
gnvo 1110 this morning, Colonel Terry,"
said Henderson, gazing meekly at the
carpet. "I have three pages to fill yet."
"Sir!" exclaimed Terry.
Henderson xx-as noxv ashamed of his
negligence, but quite honest In con
fessing It.
"I could get only seventeen pages,"
he said desperately, producing tho con
tracts, "After luneh 1 hope"
Henderson's voice died away. He xvas
much frightened. Tho colonel tool; tho

xvlien ho met one, hastily left the room.
"What xvhat did you hiiy to these

Ids throat.
"Only xvhut you Informed 1110 regard
ing tho twenty pages, sir."
"Young man," ojaeulatcd Terry,
"you'ro a wonder!"
"Thank you, sir," suld Henderson.
The next xveek Henderson was sent
upstulrs to the editorial rooms. "I xvant

Mr. Bland said; "I think you'll do,"
it Is not recorded xvhat Mr, AVhlte

PRAISE BOB AMERICANS.
Distinguished Foreigner Commends
Intelligence of Workmen.
1'riiui tlio London Mat!.
Sir Christopher Ftirness, M. P., fresh
from an extended Inx-estieatlon of
American business methods. Is con
vinced of the need of Englishmen be
ing up and doing if they are to hold
their oxvn. Sir Christopher Is one of
the first of the great British manufac
turers xvho has devoted hlmsoir seri
ously to a study on the spot or the nexv
est American methods.
"What struck me most," he said re
cently, "xvas the intelligence or the
American workman, xvho Is quite equal
to the best of our skilled artisans, and
much abend of many who nre engaged
in our -arious trades. The Americans
nro able to produce more work per man
than xvo In this country, and this is not
because they work harder, but because
they apply themselves xvlth more en
ergy and adaptation to nil the latest
methods or labor-saving appliances.
"I was forcibly struck xvitli the great
railroad imm-ovemuntn in the United
States, improvements In the condition
or tlie roads. In tho passenger cars and
In tho size and number of goods wagons.
For Instance, a number of ears have
been built of compressed steel, carry
ing fifty tons n car, as against our ten
tons in this country. 1 xx-as also very
much struck xvltli the size of the loco
motlx'es, xvliich draw train loads of
over a.OOO tons xvlth comparative case,
as against our engines draxvlnsr xvlth
difficulty 220 tons nor loaded train.
"At the head of an American rallxx-ay
system you find a president xvho de-x-otes
his whole time to his work and
has a practical and thorough knoxvl
edgn of tho minute points of railroad
business, At tho head of English rull-xx-ays
we llnd, ns a rule, gentlemen xvho
luck this personal detail knoxvledge,
and so are of necessity what Is known
as figureheads, They cannot go Into
details like their American compeers.
T.et mo sajf clearly that I nm referring
to no particular person In saying this.
For the English heads personally I
havo the greatest conildence In and re
spect for them. It Is the system, not
the men, to xvliich I am referring,
"The development In tho United
Slates slnco my last visit, In 1S92, has
boon wonderful. The domestic trade
has been busy In all directions, uud if
the exports are not so good It Is he
equse tho abundance of the homo de.
mand permits them to bo able to Ignore
nil others."
