Fifty years ago reports described slave seizures in Havana despite British patrols, large gold shipments from California mining districts, Irish pauper immigration to America nearly halted, and a Washington- staged dispute over a ceremonial stone. US ships pursued slave traffic to Brazil while a steam collier and locomotive headed to Europe for a new economic scheme.
