How Franklin's Letter Paved the Way to Recognition of American Independence After Revolutio: In view of the growing belief that Spain is secking to initiate a peace movement, the precedents bearing on peace negotia- are being looked into. They disclose y interesting features In the negotia- tions following wars in which the United States has engaged. The peace negotiations closing the revo- lutionary war came about in a romantic manner Franklin and Jay were living in Paris at the time, having succeeded in en- listing the active assistance of France. | Among Franklin's neighbors was a Madam Britton, with whom the famous statesman- scientist formed a fast friendship. Madam Britton the summer at Nice, where she met several English noblemen, among whom w ndeley. The latter, learning that she was a friend of Frank- asked for a note of introduction to him, saying he would call and drink tea with spent him at F y. The letter was given and Franklin and Lord Cholmondeley were brought together on friendly terms. His lordship stated that he was an intimate friend of Lord Shelburn, who had just be- come the ruling figure of the British minis- and it was suggested that Franklin a letter to Lord Shelburn, which Lord Cholmondeley undertook to deliver in per- son. Acting on the suggestion, Franklin wrote a brief letter, expressing the wish that a “general peace’ might be brought about. But he was careful to avoid betray- ing any anxiety or hope that the peace would immediately take place. Franklin felt sure of his ground, as political condi- tions in the United States were much dis- turbed. The letter was very welcome to Lerd Shelburn, as it arrived just after a serious upheaval in the British parliament. The ministry of Lord North, which had conducted the war, narrowly escaped a of censure, and it gave place to a min- favorable to the recognition of Ameri- ca dependence. Lord Shelburn had not wished to initiate the movement, but Franklin's letter paved the way, and, as a result, formal negotiations were opened be- tween Franklin and Lord Shelburn leading to the recognition of American independ- ce and the conclusion of a peace with the American colonies. The War of 1812. ‘Th> peace negotiations after the war of 1S12 were more formal in character. Soon after the war began President Madison took the first step toward restoring peace, and in a message to Congress on November 4, 1812, h> said: “Anxious to abridge the evils from which @ state of war cannot be exempt, I lost no time after it had been declared in convey- Ing to the British government the terms on which its progr2ss might be arrested.” The terms proposed by Madison were that Great Britain vacate the orders in council on blockades and on the impressment of American seamen. The movement cam> to naught. The Emperor of Russia took the next step to restore peace. tion to John Quine Pet»rsburg, He first made a proposi- Adams, our minister to uggesting that he would as mediator The proposition was also le to te Department at Washing- throu Russian minister here.

The peace treaty was finally agreed to Dec. 24, 1si4. ‘The Mexican War. During the Mexican war, while hostilities Were still in progress, the chief clerk of he State Deyartment, Nicholas P. Trist, was Sent to Mexico to open negotiations for peace. He was instructed to demand the cession of New Mexico and California. These terms were rejected by Mexic Thereupon the United States recalled Trist. ‘This caused much agitation in Mexico, as it was feared the United States would adopt very aggressive steps. Trist had not acted on the recall, but had remained in Mexico. He succeeded, as a result of the 1 feeling, in making a treaty of known as the treaty of Guadaloupe », February 4, 1848.

In the House yesterday afternoon, just before adjournment, the suggestion was made that the pending Lacey bill, permit- | ting absent soldiers to vote for the con- gressicnal elections, was a continuing or- der before the House. “Yes, it is a continuing order,” said Mr. Grosvenor, “and it is being used to ob- struct the Hawaiian resolution.” “The gentleman from Ohio ought to be eshamed to say that,” said Mr. Lacey. Mr. Samuel W. Smith—"Mr. Speaker, is this a continuing order? After the journal tomorrow will this bill be in order?’ The Speaker—“Yes, it is a continuing or- Grosvenor—"Connot the question of consideration be raised, Mr. Sp2aker?” The Speaker—“The question of consider- ation can always be raised by the House. The House has possession of its own work. The question of ordering tellers being taken, and a sufficient number rising, tell- ers were ordered, and the Speaker appoint- ed Mr. Gresvenor and Mr. Samuel W. Smith as tellers. Mr. Grosvenor—“Mr. Speaker, I do not want to waste the time of the House, and as far as I am concerned I am content that the House shall adjourn if it wishes to.”” The Speaker (during the count by tellers) ‘The chair desires the attention of the House for a moment, because under sug- gestion as to possible terms of order he does not feel quite confident as to the correctness of the statement which he made in reply to the question of the gen- tleman from Ohio (Mr. Grosvenor), who inquired whether the question of consid- eration could be raised when this matter. comes up tomorrow. Under the language used in the order—” Mr. Lacey—“This was made a continuing order.” The Speaker—“Yes, a continuing order; but whether the bill must remain before the House until disposed of, without being subject to the question of consideration, is a matter which the chair desires to leave open and not decide—indeed, there being a dispute, it would not be proper to decide— until that question comes up, because the decision will depend upon the special lan- guage used in the order. The language of the order was not printed in the Record this morning, and therefore the chair has not seen it. He thinks it proper to make this statement, because his reply to the gentleman from Ohio might otherwise in- fitence the vote on the pending questo: When the roll was called the motion to adjourn was adopted, and the bill went over. ee A CHANCE FOR THE VESUVIUS. Aevocates of the Dynamite Gun Want It Uned. ‘ne advocates of the dynamite gun as a weapon of warfare are urging the authori- ties here to bring the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius into more active service, where she can dempnstrate her ability against the fortifications at Santiago and other points of attack. The Vesuvius has on board three sizes of dynamite projectiles, namely those carrying 500 pounds of dynamite, 200 pounds and 100 pounds. Another projectile carrying fifty pounds is available, but none of these is carried by the Vesuvius at present. She was equipped with the heav- ier class of dynamite shells, as it was de- signed to give her real experience as a fac- tor in warfare. The claims made for her have never been subjected to the practical test of real war, but it was believed that the present war would afford an opportunt- ty for showing whether this mode of using dynamite was practical. ‘snus far, however, the Vesuvius has not figured in any of the actions in West In- dian waters, nor have the reports from that quarter shown that she was among the ships available for active work. ‘The friends of the gun believe that one or two shells containing 500 pounds of dynamite each, landed in Morro Castle, would make short work of that fortress.’ They say a single dynamfte projectile would have a more destructive effect than the broadside of an entire fleet. It is pointed out also that the elevation of the dynamite. guns suits them for sending a dynamite shell high into the air and then dropping it, like a mortar ball, in the midst of the fortifica- tion. These Views were called to the at- tention of naval officials today and the de- sire was expressed that the Vesuvius be given a chance to throw a few hundred pounds of dynamite into Santiago. Some of the naval officers think the Vesu- vius has not trained her guns upon Santi- ago thus far because of the feeling of dan- ger which attends the handling of these guns. It is said that ff a Spanish shot pierced the Vesuvius and got into her dy- namite magazine it would result in a ter- rific explosion and the wiping out of ship, officers and crew. There 1s considerable hesitancy also over firing these huge masses of dynamite, as naval officers be- eve that it has not yet been proved that they will not explode before getting under way. These are some of the causes leading up to the lack of service of this cruiser. There is a desire, however, to find out one way or the other what dynamite will ac- complish in warfare, and the appeals which have been made probably will result in bringing the Vesuvius into the ranks of the fighting ships. - The Card System. To the Editor of The Evening Star: While admitting the card system to be a success as far as facilitating the work of certain branches of the War Department fs concerned, as claimed in last Saturday's Star, it has been demonstrated to be very much of a failure in recording payments to the army in the office of the auditor for War Department, where it was tried for four years. In that office is to be found a beok record of the payments made to every officer in the United States army from the year 1817 up to date. Each ledger has space for 225 officers, an officer's payments taking up two pages of forty-eight lines to the page. Otherwise you have a complete record of an officer's payments for eight years on two pages, eight pages being about the average to each officer. The rec- ord is comprised in about eighty books, covering a period of eighty-one years, and occupying but a small space in one room. It takes but a few minutes to glanee over the records and follow the disbursements during any particular period, certainly in one-fiftieth part of the time it would take same record on the cards. let us compare the card system. thousand boxes to the room, each the payments to 1898 would» have taken up five rooms, not to mention the increased cost of boxes and cards as compared with books. These cards being arranged alpha- betically and recorded one for each month, an almost inevitable result from constant use would be the misfiling of cards, and a card misfiled is a payment lost and a rec- ord broken. When the authorities resolved to return to the records and the cards were transcribed on the books innumerable pay- ments were discovered to be misfiled and many altogether missing. The worst fea- ture, however, was the want of check on the previous entry, for as each card was recorded it was filed away in its box, and when the following month’s payments came in for recording it of course would not be practicable to pull out and compare each ecard for the preceding month. As a result a duplicate payment to an officer could be registered on the card without the recording clerk being any the wiser. On the book such could not occur without palpable negligence on _the rt of the clerk, for if an officer was id for Janu- ary and so recorded, a duplicate payment for that month would be instantly detected on registry, the line above telling the tale. Of course double payments are rare in the army, but a system of recording that fails to show up these few must be regarded as defective, even if the other advantages claimed for the cards were fully up to the Now, a bex containing 500 cards, from 1817 standard.
