"Development and Specialization of State and Historical Societies," Pro fessor R. C. Thwaltes, "Wisconsin. f Round-table conference, topic, "Co operation Among Historical Societies." The Historical Congress -was opened last night at the First Presbyterian Church and promises to be one of the most In structive and interesting conventions held 1n Portland during the Exposition. To It have come representatives from differ ent parts of the United States, men who are known throughout the country as leaders In historical thought and research. At the opening session of last night those who attended had the pleasure of listen ing to members of the faculties of Yale and of the University of Minnesota, while In the two dayB yet to come other men from distant states will read papors or deliver addresses dealing with the various phases of the history of the country. The congress was called to order last night by Dr. J. R. "Wilson, who Intro duced President "W. D. Fenton, of the Oregon Historical Society, as the chair man of the evening. The speaker stated that Mr. Fenton was not only the repre sentative of the Oregon Society, but also of President Goode, of the Exposition. Welcome by W. D. Penton. Mr. Fenton, In opening the programme pf the evening, welcomed the people pres ent in the name of the Exposition man agement. He stated that the Exposition would attract .the popular eye and would do" well the work It had to do for the country; -btrt the . work, of the historian, either In gathering material or in the -work of the hand was the work of the few. The chairman stated that he had been identified with the Oregon Historical Society since Its Inception and had, through the death of Judge Bellinger, the former president, succeeded tempor arily to the presidency of the organiza tion. He argued that the work of the society would supplement In the future the work of the Exposition. The chairman then turned to the pro gramme of the evening and Introduced H. TV. Scott as the first speaker. He stated that the man -who would address the meeting had been with and a part of the history of the state almost from Its infancy. "Address by II. W. Scott, Mr. Scott spoke on the subject of the "Unity .of History," and said In begin ning that historical controversies were profitable and at the same time unprofit able, for these brought out the cause and the effect of hlstorj'. He did not ln .tend, however, to enter into the discus sion of any of these questions, but was going to deal In a short discourse with the unity of hlstorj. "What is the meaning of history?" said Mr. Scott In beginning. "Has history ascertainable meaning? Not if thought of as a catalogue of detached or uncon nected events. But If considered as a continuous picture of mankind In action not repeated merely in events, but guid ed bj' the human spirit at work under constantly varying conditions of time and place, j'et following a regular law of movement which it Is the business of careful investigation to discover so con sidered,'' hlstorj- has meaning and use. It is a living whole. Cause and effect are here in their sources and flow and conse quences. Whatever occurs depends on something or flows out of that something that has preceded It. History Is not a series of marvelous or unconnected events, like the patchwork scenes of bad ly constructed drama. The law of cause and of consequence rules over all. "The specific subject, then, to which I shall call your attention In this address Is the unity of hlstorj'. Human affairs must bo looked upon as In continuous movement, not wandering In an arbitrary manner here and there, but proceeding In a perfectly defined course. Whatever the present state. It Is altogether tran sient, "The unity of hlstorj' Is. -In consequence, the great fact of hlstorj'. When we go Into the analysis we find causes and of-' fects, or trace effects back to causes. As tonishing things have occurred, and will occur. In human hlstorj-. But there are no 'breaks' In the chain. All events pur sue a .regular, orderlj-, consistent and In evitable course." Continuing Mr. Scott argued that the main facts that form and direct history are the'icharacterlstlcs of race arSl va riations of physical circumstance. Man Is dependent upon Nature and can never escape her dominion. Differences of soli and of climate shape the course of na tions. He traced the course of Aryan man from the home of the.rnce In Asia In itsraarch around the world and showed that everj- great man was the product of 'times before his own. It was the same with the jCounder of Chrls tlanltj', who working upon human spirit gave new direction and. deeper force to feelings Immanent In :man. The career- of Jesus and Its consequences furnish the most remarkable of all il lustrations of the unitj- of history. Causes Traced Back. The appearance of a preat man upon the field, of action would start great changes and accelerate everj' movement about'Tiini. Causes In potent operation today Were set in motion when Caesar seas appointed Governor of Gaul. Greece, Bonie, ..Juilca. Egypt and Africa, all had their share In the course and devel opment and in the unity of the his torical development of the human race. The unity of history was suggested by the study of languages, which shows to an astonishing degree the kinship of the races. Mr. Scott next followed the course of the later nations and demonstrated how the development of the one worked in harmonj' with the development of the rest. The rise and the fall of Spain and France through all their history as well as of the other nations was in accord ance with the unjir and the destiny of hlstorj'. Russo-Japanese Conflict. In concluding the speaker touched upon the present war between Russia and Japau and drew from it a lesson in the. law of cause and effect in hls torj. He said: "The use of hlstorj is obtained by finding- the relation and the connection of the parts. We must learn how age develops Into age, how countrj reacts upon countrj; how thought Inspires action, and action modifies thought, I cannot multiply instances, for the sub ject Is too -vast; I can Indicate or point out onlj' a few of the connecting links that mark the unity of hlstorj. Yet from these we maj Infer all the rest. Presented In this form, I fear they will appear but the commonplaces or drj bones of hlstorj, to which, however, one, though his imagination be not vivid, maj' supply Intermediate matter for great successive pictures. Yet. though I cannot in a discourse like this multiply instances and illustrations, there remains a word I must saj. It relates to a contest upon which the at tention of the world Is focused at the present time the contest between j Japan and Russia. "Nothing is clearer than the fact that here Is a new beginning in hlstorj'; not posltlvelj new, for antecedents have led up to It, but new In Its relations to the world at large. The causes have been accumulating sllentlj' during a long period, but have onlj now reached a stage or state where the world must take notice of them. All ndw see that transformation of the Orient has be gun. The growth and aggression of Russia have awakened the energy and ambition of Japan Illustrating once more the fact that the contact of nation with nation and the conflict of race with race have been the moving causes In the hlstorj' of the world. "At this present stage of the world's history there are two Island empires. "Who shall say that the example of England is not an Inspiration and a .guide to Japan?" Professor Bourne, of Xale. In Introducing Prof. Edward G. Bourne, of Yale University, who spoke on the aspect of Oregon hlstorj' before 1S9. Chairman Fenton stated that It was grat ifj'ing to be able to have the pleasure of listening to men of National reputa tion and distinguished mind. In beginning, Professor Bourne said that all of the centennial anniversaries of events occurring more than 100 years ago, the present one had the distinction of being the first In celebration of the first contribution of the United States In the exploration of the world. Not onlj that, but the Lewis and Clark Exposition re tained a higher place In the popular In terest than those which had come after It either upon land or on the sea. In comparing the two achievements of the Louisiana Purchase and of the Lewis and Clark exploration, the speaker gave the greater credit to Jefferson for the latter because It was not like the former, a happy incident brought about bj the pressing necessities of the Western set tlers and the revulsion of Napoleon from his plans of restoring France's empire In America. The interception of the ex pedition was the product of the scientific instinct of the ideal which marks the highest of human achievements. Energry xf Furtradcrs. The speaker gave credit to the energy of the fur-traders and their explorations for having had to do with the inaugura tion of the expedition. It was the South and West which were in favor of the ex pedition and of the purchase of the Lou lslanatract, as it gave them an outlet for their settlers and their future trade with the Pacific, and opened to them the mouth of the Mississippi before closed by the hands of foreign powers. Professor Bourne next took up the hls torj of the Lewis and Clark expedition and of Its consequences In the acquisition of the territory bordering on the Co lumbia River and showed by the story that the men who brought about the movement were possessed of great and unusual foresight. The address was a very thorough and exhaustive discussion of the conditions which induced the ex ploration and brought It to such a suc cessful termination. Professor Hosmer, of Minnesota. Professor James K. Hosmer, of the University of Minnesota, was the last speaker of the evening and discussed the historical significance of Lewis and Clark. He compared the two American explor ers in character to the Greek myth of Castor and Pollux, stating that Just as the fabled beings had been put In the skies as the mythical pathfinders, so should the two men who blasted the trail from the East to the West bo held in memory by the American people as the pathfinders of the United States. The speaker went into the hlstorj' of the two men and of the conditions which led thorn to make their famous trip across the continent. He argued that Napoleon was the man who had doubled the area of the United States bj' practically forc ing Robert Livingston and James Monroe, the two men sent bj President Jefferson to treat with him, to purchase the wholo of the Louisiana tract for 515,000.000 when thej- had been given $2,000,000 to buj a small portion of the country around the mouth of the Mississippi River. Lewis and ClaYk Expedition. Jefferson, In order to gain Information concerning the new country, had sent .Lewis and Clark on their trip. The speaker told In an Interesting way of the equipment and trials of the explorers, of the providential luck in securing Saca Jawea to lead them, and of the results of their Journey. The expedition was so Im portant, the speaker argued, because of the Immense results flowing from It. the establishment of ten commonwealths in the land so gained, which now forms one of the most Important parts of the United States. The congress will continue Its sessions this morning at the American Inn, be ginning at 10 o'clock, and holding fortwo hours In the morning, and also from 2. until 4 this afternoon. Sessions will also be held tomorrow at the same hours and at the same place. Frank W. Valle Is Here. Frank W. Valle. assistant general super intendent of the Rallwaj Mall Service at Washington, D. C; Alexander W. Grant, also holding a similar position In the capital cltj. and A. A. Stevens, of San Francisco, superintendent of the Western Division of the service, reached the city yesterday and will remain for a short time Inspecting the offices under their jurisdiction here.
