The net increase iu the general Revenue for the year, exclusive of grants-in-aid, was higher than that of 1900, which was higher than that of any previous year by £137,909 155. Id., and it was £122,998 3*. in excess of the original estimates. 3. The increase in Customs Receipts was due to the expan­ sion of the general import trade of the Colony, the imports for the year being valued at £1,801,027, as against £1,258,963 for 1900, and £1,152,478 in 1899. 4. During the year a large number of spirit licenses were issued, more especially in the Sekondi and Tarkwa Districts, resulting in an increased receipt from this item of Revenue as compared wjth 1900 of £4,170. 5. The increase appearing under Fees of Court was almost entirely due to Stamp Duties, which amounted to £54,354 14*. Id., as against £17,347 6s. Id. received in 1900, The greatei portion of the above sum was received for Stamp Duties on concession documents, a large number of which were registered during the year. 6.

The falling off in the Revenue of the Northern Territories was due to the stoppage of the caravan trade with Ashanti and to the non-sale o! trade goods, the year's supply not having been obtained owing to the Ashanti rebellion. 10. The Imperial Grant on account of Ashanti disturbances was £197,700, being the balance of the Imperial Loan of £400,000, of which £202,300 was granted in 1900. 11.

The efforts of the early electrical operate its municipal utility, it is one of the oldest public power pioneers have allowed the nation’s municipal utilities communities in the Northwest. The city of Idaho Falls is to give inexpensive, reliable electric power to millions celebrating the past 100 years of providing its residents of Americans in the twentieth century. Today municipal ownership in its electric power system. This report municipal utilities give over 2,000 communities a will provide some interesting facts about the pioneers who sense of energy independence and autonomy they can installed a tiny electric generator on an irrigation canal in the carry into the twenty-first century. fall of 1900, establishing the beginning of the Idaho Falls municipal utility. Lucille Keefer pictured in front of the falls, is one of the more endearing images of Idaho Falls’ hydroelectric history.

Barnes been told and retold for many years and in many ways. On the palm side of each person’s hands and on the soles of each person’s feet are prominent skin features that single him or her out from everyone else in the world. These fea- tures are present in friction ridge skin which leaves behind impressions of its shapes when it comes into contact with an object. The impressions from the last finger joints are known as fingerprints. Using fingerprints to identify indi- viduals has become commonplace, and that identification role is an invaluable tool worldwide. What some people do not know is that the use of friction ridge skin impressions as a means of identification has been around for thousands of years and has been used in several cultures. Friction ridge skin impressions were used as proof of a person’s identity in China perhaps as early as 300 B.C., in Japan as early as A.D. 702, and in the United States since 1902. 1.2 Ancient History Earthenware estimated to be 6000 years old was discov- ered at an archaeological site in northwest China and found to bear clearly discernible friction ridge impressions.

CLIMATIC CONDITIONS OF NEW MEXICO AND OSTEO­ PATHIC TREATMENT FOR TUBERCULOSIS. C. H. CONNER M. D., D.O., ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. TUBERCULOSIS is the most widely spread and general disease afflicting mankind. It prevails in all countries but more in large cities and where the population is massed together. The greatest prevalence of tuberculosis is' found where the residents are confined and restricted in the matter of fresh air and a free, open life; condi­ tions which would favor, on the one hand, the presence of bacilli in the atmos­ phere and on the other, lower the vital resistance of the individual. The etiology of this disease has a wide range of different opinions: her­ editary transmissions, modes of living, climate, the bacillus tuberculosis, in­ fection through the air, milk, meat and other articles of food and lastly, trau­ matism and constitutional peculiarities which I wish to discuss from an osteo­ pathic standpoint. Since the announ('ement by Robt. Koch of Berlin, in 1882 of the specific causative factor of tuberculosis (the so-called bacillus of tuber­ culosis), practically nothing has been accomplished in either limiting or pre­ venting the spread of this great malady. Numberless rem~dies and alleged specifics have been heralded to the world from time to time, such as the differ­ ent concoctions of cod liver oil, creosote and the various poisonous prepara­ tions known as serums.

  • The Thirty-Third Volunteer Infantry Regiment in the Philippine War

Service Honest and Faithful: The Thirty-Third Volunteer Infantry Regiment in the Philippine War, 1899-1901. Doctor of Philosophy (History), December 2017, 269 pp., bibliography, 72 primary resources, 97 secondary resources. This manuscript is a study of the Thirty-Third Infantry, United States Volunteers, a regiment that was recruited in Texas, the South, and the Midwest and was trained by officers experienced from the Indian Wars and the Spanish-American War. This regiment served as a front-line infantry unit and then as a constabulary force during the Philippine War from 1899 until 1901. While famous in the United States as a highly effective infantry regiment during the Philippine War, the unit's fame and the lessons that it offered American war planners faded in time and were overlooked in favor of conventional fighting. In addition, the experiences of the men of the regiment belie the argument that the Philippine War was a brutal and racist imperial conflict akin to later interventions such as the Vietnam War.

  • In Boxer China: an Experiment with International Justice at Paoting-Fu
    ACCOUNTABILITY FOR “CRIMES AGAINST THE LAWS OF HUMANITY” IN BOXER CHINA: AN EXPERIMENT WITH INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE AT PAOTING-FU BENJAMIN E. BROCKMAN-HAWE* * Benjamin E. Brockman-Hawe received his J.D. from Boston University (2008), where he graduated with honors in the concentration of international law, and his L.L.M. from Columbia University (2016). This paper was originally pre- pared for presentation at the European Society of International Law’s Tenth An- niversary Conference at Vienna, September 2014. I would like to thank Lilie Schoenack and Alice Lam for their encouragement, support and assistance in seeing this work brought to completion. I am also grateful to have been assisted by Ruiken Sun and Karl-Heinz Mertins, whose gen- erous, careful and skillful translations of Chinese and German sources was in- strumental to the completion of this project. I was also fortunate to have benefited from the insights, guidance and assistance of R. John Pritchard and Jon Bush, two of international law’s greats! Throughout this paper I refer to places and people using the spellings em- ployed by those who lived through the Boxer Rebellion in lieu of the preferred contemporary spellings. Thus, for example, the cities today identified as Baoding and Beijing I identify as Paoting-Fu and Peking. Where there was a great deal of variation for the spelling of names, I have elected to use a spelling most common to those who wrote of the events at issue (i.e., Paoting-Fu for Pao-Ting-Fu, Pao- tingfu, Pautingfu, etc.), except where the name is part of a quotation, in which case the original spelling has been preserved.

ALTHERR IN ITS WASHINGTON COLUMN of 27 January 1901, the New York Times informed its public that the "demand upon Congress for new public parks, National in character, has been increased by one that will strike many persons as possessing peculiar attractiveness. Mr. Lacey has reported a bill to provide for the setting aside of a 'Cliff Dwellers' National Park' in New Mexico."1 Two months earlier, the Santa Fe New Mexican had alerted its readership to this develop­ ment: "A movement has been on foot for some time to have the region set aside as a national park and the ruins preserved for future scientific study."2 Both papers referred to the beginning ofa twenty­ year campaign to create a national park on the Pajarito Plateau northwest of Santa Fe. This effort eventuated in the establishment ofBandelier National Monument in 1916, but failed to win national park status for the larger surrounding area.
