  • Sino-US Relations and Ulysses S. Grant's Mediation
    Looking for a Friend: Sino-U.S. Relations and Ulysses S. Grant’s Mediation in the Ryukyu/Liuqiu 琉球 Dispute of 1879 Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad Michael Berry Graduate Program in East Asian Studies The Ohio State University 2014 Thesis Committee: Christopher A. Reed, Advisor Robert J. McMahon Ying Zhang Copyright by Chad Michael Berry 2014 Abstract In March 1879, Japan announced the end of the Ryukyu (Liuqiu) Kingdom and the establishment of Okinawa Prefecture in its place. For the previous 250 years, Ryukyu had been a quasi-independent tribute-sending state to Japan and China. Following the arrival of Western imperialism to East Asia in the 19th century, Japan reacted to the changing international situation by adopting Western legal standards and clarifying its borders in frontier areas such as the Ryukyu Islands. China protested Japanese actions in Ryukyu, though Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) leaders were not willing to go to war over the islands. Instead, Qing leaders such as Li Hongzhang (1823-1901) and Prince Gong (1833-1898) sought to resolve the dispute through diplomatic means, including appeals to international law, rousing global public opinion against Japan, and, most significantly, requesting the mediation of the United States and former U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885). Initially, China hoped Grant’s mediation would lead to a restoration of the previous arrangement of Ryukyu being a dually subordinate kingdom to China and Japan. In later negotiations, China sought a three-way division of the islands among China, Japan, and Ryukyu.

  • Commander's Corner
    Generals Ward & Chennault & LT Helseth China Post 1® Poop Sheet Commander’s Corner By 龙老板 Scott Riebel, Commander Hello Comrades, I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and wishing you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year. On January 25th, we will ring in the year of the Rat. Each new year brings us new opportunities, and this year will be no different. The vision of the future of China Post 1 looks bright, the Post is fiscally sound, our membership renewal rate remains strong with nearly 90% of our members having renewed this year, and the Post enjoys the overwhelming support of the members for our shared vision of the future of the Post. Part of that vision is developing a sound relationship with the owners of the Old Post Home at 209 Fuzhou Lu, Shanghai and establishing a long-term sustainable Post presence in China. We’ve achieved tangible results in that arena. During the second week of December 2019, Joe Gentile and I traveled to China with the hopes of opening a dialog between the Director of Cultural resources, Shanghai, the U.S. Consulate and China Post 1. This edition of the Poop Sheet contains an abbreviated copy of our trip report detailing our efforts and successes. We will be returning in February to finalize plans for the Post to present the plaque celebrating our 100th anniversary, scheduled for April 20, 2020. We have invited several dignitaries including the C.E.O. of the Chennault Aviation Museum in Monroe, LA and granddaughter of Claire Chennault, Ms.

I907. NO. I ' THE VAN RENSSELAER FAMILY. BY W. W. SPOONER. the early Dutch colonial families the Van OF Rensselaers were the first to acquire a great landed estate in America under the "patroon" system; they were among the first, after the English conquest of New Netherland, to have their possessions erected into a "manor," antedating the Livingstons and Van Cortlandts in this particular; and they were the last to relinquish their ancient prescriptive rights and to part with their hereditary demesnes under the altered social and political conditions of modem times. So far as an aristocracy, in the strict understanding of the term, may be said to have existed under American institu- tions—and it is an undoubted historical fact that a quite formal aristocratic society obtained throughout the colonial period and for some time subsequently, especially in New York, — the Van Rensselaers represented alike its highest attained privileges, its most elevated organization, and its most dignified expression. They were, in the first place, nobles in the old country, which cannot be said of any of the other manorial families of New York, although several of these claimed gentle descent.

Y.: Sir: Pursuant to the provisions of the law of Congress, " establishing a uniform militia throughout the United States," I have the honor to submit the following REPORT: The organized portion of the militia of the State has, during the past year, made marked improvement in discipline and military information. l When compared with its condition during and prior to the year 1857, it is certainly entitled to much praise for its present attitude, and for the evidences of zeal which pervades its ranks. Notwithstanding that the relief which the present defective law affords has always been greatly inadequate to meet the heavy pecuniary demands upon the force, and that the general regulations have recently largely increased these demands, the militia has passed through the trying y'ear of 1858 with honor and credit. To one interested in the development of our militia, and aware of the additional bur~hens in time and money which these regulations have heaped upon it, this intelligence cannot be otherwise than gratifying. betokening as it does a degree of military ardor throughout the State, hopeful in the extreme.

THE ALBANY HOSPITAL. The Albany Hospital was incorporated April 11th, 1849, and was formally opened for the reception of patients November Ist, 1851. A temporary building was at first occupied, on the corner ofLydius and Dove streets, while the present edifice was remodeled and prepared for use. The first officers of the Board of Management, elected July 14th, 1.851, were, John C. Spencer, President. Ezra P. Prentice, Vice-President. Joel Rathbone, Treasurer. Franklin Townsend, Secretary. The late Robert Townsend was elected Secretary, August 2d, 1858, and held the office until 1860. Stephen Groesbbeck, the present Secretary, was elected November 21st, 1862. At the inauguration oftheInstitution, the late Hon. John C. Spencer, its first President, who had labored with unre- mitting zeal in its behalf, commenced the exercises with the following remarks : I congratulate you, fellow citizens, that, at last, a Hos- pital for the relief of the poor and the suffering is opened in our ancient city. The increase of ourpopulation, the extension of business, and the collection of travelers by land and by water, at this great central point, renders such an institution not only an act of ordinaryhumanity, but of absolute necessity. Our railroads West, North, East and South, the canals terminating here, the river navigation by vessels and steam boats, bringing each clay multitudes exposed to all the casualties of travel—in addition to those incident to the 4 extensive business of an active resident population of 50,000 who are building houses, working factories, excavating earth, and carrying on all the branches of mechanical art, must inevitably produce a vast amount of bodily injury and disease.
