There were then twenty widows of soldiers of the War of 1812 on the pension rolls, and nine soldiers and 1,080 widows of soldiers of the war with Mexico.

TERRITORIAL EXPANSION OF THE UNITED STATES.
THE THIRTEEN ORIGINAL STATES.

The area of the original thirteen States (1790) wa 892,135 square miles. This includes the drainage basin of the Red River of the North (part of Minneota), not in the Louisiana Purchase, but in the past sometimes considered a section thereof.

The Thirteen Original States, comprising the Dufted States of America, as constituted in 1790, were-New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Bland, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennivania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia.

The present gross (land and water) area of these thirteen States is but 326,378 square miles, inasmuch as Maine, Vermont, Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Ohlo, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota, have been carved from the original boundaries of the Thirteen, which extended from Canada to Florida and from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River, exclusive of a portion of the southeastern part of Louisiana.

Congress, Oct. 30, 1779, asked the States to cede to the General Government the vast areas of unsettled lands lying between the Appalachian Mountain ranges and the Mississippi River, in order to end conflicting boundary claims inherited from royal charters.

This was done, 1781-1802, by New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia.

Connecticut, 1786. reserved both jurisdiction and property rights in an area in Northeast Ohio, known as the Western Reserve, but in 1800 gave up jurisdiction, still reserving property rights.

None of the cessions covered land east of the present western boundaries of New York and Pennsylvania.

The General Government welded the ceded areas into two great tracts-the territory northwest of the Ohio River, and the territory south of the Ohio River. The former comprised the Territories of Ohio and Indiana.

Michigan was created out of Northern Indiana; Illinois, out of Western Indiana.

Vermont, 1777-1791, was an independent republic,

but the territory it occupied and claimed was in-
cluded in the total area of the Colonies.
Maine had been under the jurisdiction of Massa-
chusetts.

Kentucky and West Virginia were set off from
Virginia.

Tennessee was ceded from North Carolina. Alabama and Mississippi had been a part of Georgia.

Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut originally claimed the areas now occupied by Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, and formally renounced jurisdiction over them to the United States.

LOUISIANA PURCHASE.

The first accession to the territory of the United States as it was constituted in 1790 came through the Louisiana Purchase. This vast region, bought by the United States (in the administration of President Jefferson), April 30, 1803, from France, in the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, for 60,000,000 francs ($15,000,000), plus payment of the French Spollation Claims." comprised the Mississippi River's west side drainage basin, except that part held by Spain. It extended from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, and included the areas now occupied by Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, the Dakotas, Montana, most of Minnesot,, and portions of Colorado and Wyoming.

Settlement of the French Spollation Claims was effected with France for $3,750,000. Interest accruals raised the final total cost of the Louisiana Purchase to $27,267,622.

Arkansas was cut out of Missouri Territory, a part of Louisiana Territory; Iowa was made from Wisconsin; Kansas and Nebraska from Missouri; Minnesota, from Iowa; the Dakotas from Minnesota and Nebraska.

The Dakotas were separated in 1889.

Oklahoma was made from Western Indian Territory: Montana, from Idaho; Wyoming, from the Dakotas, Idaho and Utah; Colorado, from Utah, New Mexico, Kansas and Nebraska; Arizona, from New Mexico; Nevada, from Utah; Idaho, from Washington, the Dakotas and Nebraska.

OREGON TERRITORY.

The Oregon Territory, the northern limits of which were settled in the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1846 between the United States and Great Britain, is not classed as an accession, because the Government at Washington claimed it, In 1848, on three grounds-(1), discovery and Occupation; (2), the Louisiana Purchase; (3), the Florida Purchase. The grounds of the title are called obscure by Henry Gannett of the Geological Survey, 1904, in "Boundaries of the United States."

As constituted at its organization, in 1848, the Territory of Oregon extended from the Pacific to the crest of the Rocky Mountains, north of the forty-second parallel of latitude, and comprised the areas now covered by Oregon, Washington, Idaho and part of Montana and Wyoming.

FLORIDA PURCHASE.

The second accession was the Floridas, which the United States bought from Spain in 1819. The United States had claimed that West Florida was s part of the Louisiana Purchase tract, but it was denied by France. The southeastern part of Louisiana was acquired by the Florida purchase.

No money payment was made to Spain in connection with the acquisition of the Floridas, but The United, States assumed and paid the sum of $5,000,000 in satisfaction of claims of citizens of the United States against Spain. No interest was paid in these cases.

The fifth increase of United States territory came with the purchase of Alaska from Russia, by the treaty of 1867. The price, 87,200,000 in gold, was paid Aug. 1, 1868, no interest being charged. The 1903 joint American-Canadian commission finally smoothed out the boundary disputes.

The sixth accession brought in the Hawaiian Islands, which voluntarily joined the United States in 1898, the Hawalian national debt of $4,000,000 being assumed by this country.

PORTO RICO, GUAM, THE PHILIPPINES. The victory of the United States over Spain in 1898, brought into the American national area the seventh accession.

Under the treaty of Dec. 10, 1898, the United States paid to Spain $20,000,000 in connection with the relinquishment of all claims to Porto Rico, Guam and the Philippine Islands; and, under a later treaty of Nov. 7, 1900, a further payment of $100,000 was made to Spain for cession to the United States of any and all Islands (Cagayan Jolo) of the Philippine Archipelago lying outside of the lines described in Article III. of the treaty

of Dec. 10, 1898. No interest was paid in either

case.

AMERICAN SAMOA (TUTUILA). The Samoan Isles, in 1889, by agreement of the United States, Great Britain and Germany, in conference at Berlin, were recognized as independent, neutral territory, with Malietoa as King, under the joint protection of the three powers named. In 1898 the United States accepted Pago Pago (ceded in 1872) as a coal and naval base.

By the Anglo-German Convention of Nov. 14, 1899, effective Feb. 16, 1900, Tutulla and the adjacent isles of Tau, Olesinga and Ofu were ceded to the United States; Samoa, to Germany; the Tonga, Savage and Solomon Islands to Great Britain. The Mauna Islands were ceded to the United States in 1904 by the King of the group.

PANAMA CANAL ZONE.

The United States did not acquire, by the Isthmian Canal Convention of Nov. 18, 1903, any title to territory in the Republic of Panama, but merely a perpetual right of occupation, use, and

control of and over a zone of land ten miles in width. For this privilege it paid to the Republic of Panam the sum of $10,000,000, and undertook to pay the sum of $250,000 annually so long as such occu pancy continued, such payments beginning o Feb. 26, 1913.

The United States and the Colombian Congresses ratified, in 1921, a treaty of the United States with Colombia by which Colombia is to receive $25, 000,000 (in yearly instalments of $5,000,000) as compensation for the loss of territorial sovereignty over Panama and the Canal Zone. Ratification of the two countries were exchanged at Bogots Colombia, on March 1, 1922. The first payment of $5,000,000 was made six months thereafter; the last on Sept. 2, 1926.

VIRGIN ISLANDS OF THE U. 8.

For the Danish West Indies, consisting of the Islands of St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John, the United States paid $25,000,000, and took posse sion on March 31, 1917. They then had 32,00 population.
