Explanation

Words and figures inclosed in brackets [ ] are given for information, but do not appear on the title-pages of the publications catalogued. When size is not given, octavo is to be understood. Size of maps is measured from outer edge of border, excluding margin. The dates, including day, month, and year, given with Senate and House documents and reports, are the dates on which they were ordered to be printed. Usually the printing promptly follows the ordering, but various causes sometimes make delays. When Congress and session are not given with the numbers of Senate and House documents and reports, 62d Congress, 1st session, is to be understood. 222 General Inform atio n

Many competent and zeal- ous men and women are engaged in this endeavor, and the practical details of important branches of their work are described in the pamphlet named at the beginning of this note. The catalogue entry for this pamphlet appears in the October Monthly catalogue, page 186. No. 40 of the Interstate Commerce Commission’s quarterly Accident bulletin series, railroad accidents in the United States, April-June, 1911, is the fourth number in a new series, issued under a newiaw. The dif- ference between the two series is that in the first, under the old law, only a part of the accidents were reported. The limitation excluded everything but accidents by collisions and derailments, casualties to passengers, and casualties to employees on duty. May 6, 1910, a law was passed which enlarged the scope of the inquiry by requiring the railroads to report to the Commission also accidents to employees while at work, accidents to passengers in getting on and off cars, accidents to persons doing business at railway stations, accidents at highway cross- ings, accidents to trespassers (tramps), etc. Even now, however, accidents to employees which do not keep them away from work for more than three days and accidents to persons not employees which do not incapacitate them for more than one day are not reported at all. Neither are the so-called “industrial accidents” which occur to railroad men working on tracks or bridges or at stations, freight houses, engine houses, coaling stations, water stations, etc., when no car is moving at the place, or in and around shops, on boats and wharves, etc. The victims of fatal accidents are not reported as “killed” unless they die within 24 hours. If they linger longer they are reported as “injured.” Notwithstanding these exceptions and exemptions, and the further fact that the railroads themselves do the reporting, the accident roll is most deplorably long and ghastly. Though bulletin 40 is the fourth one issued under the new law, it is the first in which a year’s footings (July 1, 1910-June 30, 1911) are given. These footings tell their own story: Killed, 10,396; injured, 150,159. The 27th annual report of the Bureau of American Ethnology (1905- 1906) is brief, so far as the report proper goes, and carries but one accompanying paper. That, however, is a very full and important one, the fruit of the life labor and study of Miss Alice C. Fletcher, the distin- guished ethnologist, and Francis La Flesche, the educated Indian, who for 25 years has been her collaborator. The title is The Omaha tribe. In her Foreword Miss Fletcher says: “In the account here offered noth- ing has been borrowed from other observers; only original material gath- ered directly from the native people has been used.” For 29 years Miss Fletcher has been intimately acquainted with the Omaha; for many years she lived with them. Her paper fills 557 pages of text and is illustrated by 65 plates and 132 figures. Price, in cloth binding, $1.50. Tariff series 27, Customs tariff of Cuba, is just issued by the Manu- factures Bureau. The Superintendent of Documents can supply copies for 10 cents.

■tock of the superintendent of Documents. 228 Nove mbe r , 1911 of reprinting, it has been found necessary to raise the price of part 1 from $1.25 to $1.50, making the price equal for the two parts. Vol. 10, Memoirs of the National Academy of Sciences, is out of press. The seven memoirs which it contains have been previously published in as many separate pamphlets. They give the results of researches in the fields of astronomy, botany, medicine, physics, and zoology. Vol. 16, 2d series, Index-catalogue of the Library of the Surgeon-Gen- eral’s Office, U. S. A., containing the titles alphabeting between Skinko and Stysanus, is now available for distribution by sale through the office of the Superintendent of Documents at $2.00. The first series ended with vol. 16, but as the second series is no further through the alphabet in vol. 16 than the first series was in vol. 13, it is evident that this series will fill several volumes more than were in series one. The volume of medical literature must be growing larger, as indeed is true of the literature of all the sciences. It is the age of science, and science is working wonderful benefits to humanity. An important document, and one likely to be in much demand, is Senate document 89 of the 62d Congress, Everglades of Florida. It is a compilation of pretty much everything which can throw light on the history, condition, and prospects of the 4000 square miles of presumably fertile but submerged land whose reclamation it is believed will make Florida one of the richest of the States. Included in the publication is the report of the drainage engineers of the Experiment Stations Office, Agriculture Department, once announced for publication as a bulletin of that office, but subsequently withheld for reasons which have not been officially published, though they have been the subject of sundry news- paper speculations. Full accounts are also given of the progress and methods of the work of reclamation, now being prosecuted by the State authorities of Florida. It is gratifying to learn that the work is already one third completed. The Annual report of the Smithsonian Institution for 1910 brings a fine budget of scientific papers, popular in their form but learned in their information. In cloth $1.10. Former Senator Aldrich’s Suggested plan for monetary legislation, revised edition, which has been published in an unnumbered pamphlet, is now issued also as Senate document 784, part 2, 61st Congress, 3d session. Another handy tool for entomologists and librarians is An index to Circulars 1 to 100 of the Bureau of Entomology. The index is itself Circular 100. 5 cents. Annual report of the Steamboat Inspection Service, 1911, further confirms the well known fact that new inventions breed new dangers. The report informs us that motor boats are nowadays the most prolific cause of water accidents. The first year of Government control of the fur-seal fisheries of Alaska is reported upon in Fisheries Bureau document 749. There is apparently prospect of improved conditions since the termination of the lease system. Farmers’ bulletin 473 is a plain and intelligible statement of the facts in relation to tuberculosis (consumption) in domestic animals. It was Nov embe r , 1911 229

'' FORTHCOMING PUBLICATIONS Manufactures Bureau, Commerce and Labor Department, has in press a first supplement to the World trade directory, a very large volume of which there has been a very large sale. The supplement will be an octavo pamphlet of probably 30 or 40 pages. Other supplements will follow as material for them may accumulate. The State Department has in- structed the United States consuls in all parts of the world to supply information for this work. By Senate resolution 237, introduced May 19, 1910, by Senator Borah, and agreed to June 23, 1910, the Labor Bureau was directed to make an investigation of the iron and steel industry in the United States and report the results. This has been done, and the report is now in press as Senate document 110, 62d Congress, 1st session, in 4 vols., under the title Con- ditions of employment in the iron and steel industry of the United States. It is expected that the first volume will be in the hands of readers at about the same time as this catalogue. For two years the Statistics Bureau, Agriculture Department, has been collecting information as to the dates of sowing and harvesting the principal crops of all countries. This interesting and valuable information will be given to the public in a series of bulletins, the first of which is now in press.

ARBITRATIONS

Three international arbitrations of the United States with other Powers recently have been concluded. Several volumes of documents were printed in connection with each one, but no copies of these prints are available for distribution to the depository libraries. ' 1. The Orinoco arbitration with Venezuela. This was heard by the Hague tribunal, which rendered its decision Oct. 25, 1910, allowing only a part of the claims of the United States. 2. The Alsop claim against Chile, in which the King of England acted as arbitrator. This had been pending many years. King George gave his decision in favor of the United States to the amount of a million dollars. 3. The ( hamizal tract arbitration, heard by the American-Mexican Boundary Commission, composed of one American and one Mexican representative, with a Canadian statesman, Hon. Eugene Lafleur, as a thiid member and umpire. El Chamizal was the name of a Mexican farm which by a change of the channel of the boundary river, the Rio Grande, was made American territory, upon which a part of the city of El Paso, lexas, has grown up. The question submitted by the convention of June 24, 1910, was in which country the international title to the tract inheres. The Commission did not answer this question, but the Mexican and Canadian commissioners, June 15, 1911, joined in an award dividing the tract between the two countries. The American 232 Nov emb er , 1911 commissioner dissented and the American agent, William C. Dennis, filed a protest. The hope is felt and expressed that no arbitrations have been lately- held of so very confidential a nature that the Superintendent of Docu- ments has been unable to get track of the printed documents in the case.

CATALOGUING CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENTS It is of course necessary that some Government documents, such as treaties and conventions, Government cases in international arbitrations, Presidential messages yet undelivered, advance copies sent to newspapers for publication on a future day, and some others, should be printed in secret and held in confidence until officially released. It is also necessary that the official catalogues of public documents shall be compiled, and consequently that the experts W’ho are to compile them shall have copies of the documents which are to be compiled. These two necessities sometimes conflict. No matter how confidential documents may be considered to be, and no matter how carefully all knowledge of their existence may be guarded at first, they must all, sooner or later, emerge from their concealment and become subject to record in the official catalogues as other documents are. Within a year or two the injunction of secrecy has been removed from certain treaties with Indian tribes which had been held in sacred confidence by several generations of official guardians for 53 years. This, however, was an extreme case. Usually the term of secrecy can be measured in weeks or months or even days. But whether the time be long or short, too often it is sufficient to break the chain of transmission which in regular course brings the documents from the binders or the publishing bureaus to the cataloguers. When first issued, the Public Printer cannot transmit them, because he wisely relieves himself of responsibility for their care by sending the entire edition at once to the publishing Department or bureau. If the documents are—as often happens—the case and countercase and brief and so on of the United States to be presented to some arbitration court, they of course are held in confidence until after they have been presented to the court. After they have been so presented and the arbitration has been concluded and the award made and published, the confidential character of the documents in the case of course ceases. But by that time it too often occurs that all parties concerned have forgotten—some of them have never known—that there is a law requiring all authorities who are re- sponsible for the printing and publishing of documents to see to it that the Superintendent of Documents, under whose direction the catalogues are compiled and printed, shall be supplied with copies, to be duly catalogued and thus incorporated into the public official record by whose aid the future histories of the country must be written. Sometimes by effort, sometimes by chance, the Superintendent of Documents usually learns, sooner or later—and a few times it has been disastrously later— that there are documents once confidential, but from which the injunction of secrecy at last has been removed, which should be at once secured for the use of the cataloguers and for preservation in the extensive library Nov emb er , 1911 233 of public documents which has bppn Emit k Go" t^ °ther legiHmate * without^™6™?

In the Congressional record 56th Cono iQ+ a„ T j 613, under heading RVan William II i ^R ’ IndeX volume- P^e b xvyan, william H., a Representative from New York, 234 Nove mbe r , 1911 last item under the subheading Bills and joint resolutions introduced by, is found in parentheses the phrase (See bill S. 4718). Instead of “S.” read “H.” It was a House bill. Mr. Ryan could not possibly have introduced a Senate bill. This particular bill was an important one relating to the Seneca nation of Indians and a considerable town which has grown up on their reservation in Western New York. It became a law in the 56th Cong., 2d sess. (Stat, L. v. 31, p. 819.) Senate report 1281, 61st Congress, which was issued during the 3d session, is entitled Report of the Committee on Irrigation and Reclama- tion of Arid Lands on the investigation of irrigation projects. It carries on its title-page in parentheses the words (To accompany S. Res. 324). As the Congress by which this no. 324 was issued is not mentioned, the natural conclusion would be that it is the same Congress by which Report 1281 was issued. This, however, is not the case. Senate resolution 324 of the 61st Congress does not relate in any way to the irrigation investigation. By searching the Congressional Record it is found that the irrigation inquiry was authorized by the 60th Congress at its 2d session, but not by virtue of Senate resolution 324. It was by Resolution 319 that the investigation was set afoot. The parenthetical clause (To accompany S. res. 324) on the title-page of Senate rp. 1281, 61st Cong. 3d sess., should therefore be changed to read (To accompany S. res. 319, 60th Cong., 2nd sess.). Report 1281 and Resolutions 319 and 324 all had mis- haps of their own in the course of editing and printing, but as these have all been straightened out except the erroneous Resolution number, they need not be detailed here. In the rush of numbering and printing between dark and dawn the thousands upon thousands of Congressional bills, resolutions, reports, and documents, it is almost miraculous that so small a percentage of errors occurs. Congressional record index, 59th Congress, 1st session, History of House bills, H. R. 11946, 2d line in the 6-point type, instead of (H. R. Report 558) read (H. R. Report 1558). This is a favorable report from the Com- mittee on Indian Affairs on a bill providing for the allotment of Indian lands in severalty. There is a supposition abroad that in or about 1872 Congress investi- gated the South Improvement Company, an early combination of oil in- terests which became so odious that the Pennsylvania Legislature was constrained to conciliate public opinion by repealing its charter in the year named. The indexes to the public documents reveal very little to sustain this supposition. In vol. 1, Report of the Industrial Commission, page 147, is a statement that William G. Warden gave testimony before a Committee of Congress, March 30, 1872, in which he included a list of the stockholders and the amount of their holdings. A footnote on the same page says: “It appears from the testimony of Mr. Emery that the Committee of Congress referred to did not publish any report, and possibly did not even keep a record of the testimony taken. The chairman of the Committee was Mr. Gilfillin. Mr. Emery was in Washington at the time and has a complete copy of the testimony, taken either from newspapers or directly from stenographers. Mr. Boyle confirms the fact that there was such an investigation.” There is a discrepancy here. March Nov emb er , 1911 235

30, 1872, when it is said that Mr. Warden’s testimony was given, is in the period of the 42d Congress, 2d session. Mr. Calvin W. Gilfillan of Frank- lin, Pa., said to have been chairman of the committee of investigation, was not a member of the 42d Congress. He served only in the 41st Con- gress, having been defeated for reelection to the 42d Congress. It is evident, therefore, either that the investigation was not held in March, 1872, or that Mr. Gilfillan was not chairman of the committee. It is, by the way, improbable that a one-term member should be chairman of a committee, or even of a subcommittee designated to hear evidence. At page 668, Industrial Commission Report, vol. 1, both Mr. Lewis Emery, jr., and Mr. Patrick Boyle, editor of the Oil City Derrick, give interesting information as to the difficulty of getting copies of the evidence taken by the committees investigating oil matters, not only in 1872 but in 1888 as well.

GS 11—487/3 Topographic sheets Not e .—The Geological Survey is making a topographic map of the United States. The sheets of which it is composed are projected without reference to political divisions, and are designated by some prominent town or natural feature found on them. Three scales are ordinarily used, 1:62,500, 1:125,000. and 1:250,000. These correspond, approximately, to 1 mile, 2 miles, and 4 miles to 1 linear inch, covering, respectively, average areas of 230, 920, and 3,700 square miles. For some areas of particular importance special large-scale maps are published. The size, unless otherwise given, is about 17.5 inches in height by 11.5 to 16 inches in width, exclusive of the margin, the width varying with the latitude. A description of the topographic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet. More than one-third of the area of the country, excluding outlying possessions, has been mapped, every State being represented. Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia are completely mapped. Sheets of the regular size are sold by the Survey at 5c. each; but in lots of iOO or more copies, whether of the same sheet or of different sheets, the price is 3c. each. In no case can orders be filled at the wholesale rate unless the sum remitted solely for topographic maps amounts to at least $3.00. Alaska, Prince of Wales Island.

No sets of these are for sale or distribution, as most of the volumes are out of print. The volumes of Contributions and of Miscellaneous collections are distributed only to public libraries and to learned institutions and societies in this country and abroad. A small edition of the papers in these two series is printed separately for sale or exchange. The Smithsonian reports are regularly distributed by the Institution to libraries throughout the world, and only a limited number of the volumes remains to supply demands from other sources. No general mailing list of individuals is main- tamed. The reports can be had by purchase from the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. The papers printed in the annual reports are published separately for free distribution. Publications should be ordered by the serial number. Remittances should be made payable to ‘Smithsonian Institution.’ An application from a library should state the number of volumes in the library and the date of establishment, and have the endorsement of a Member of Congress.” The annual reports are the only Smithsonian publications that are regularly issued as public documents. All the others are paid for from the private funds of the Institution. Agassiz, Alexander. Alexander Agassiz, 1835-1910; by Alfred Golds- borough Mayer. 1911. [l]+447—472 p. 1 por.
