 THE FAILURES OF THE YEAR. Three Per Cent. Less in Number and
 Nearly Fifty Per Cent. Less in Lfa-
 .bilities.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The mercantile agency of R. G. Dun & Co. reports that the total number of business failures in the Uni ted States during the year 1885 was 10,637, with liabilities of a little more than $124,- 00O, ,O00, as compared with 10, 968 failures in 1884 with liabilities of $226, ,O0O, ,O00. While the failures for 1885 are only three per cent. less in number than in 1884, the liabilities have decreased nearly fifty per cent. The number of traders reported in business in 1885 was 917,990. Of these one in every eighty eight failed. In 1878, with 674 900 traders, one in every sixty-four came to to grief. The average amount of liabilities of each failure was in 1885 $11 678, against $2O, ,632 in 1884, and $22, ,369 in 1878. It is seen from these figures that, while business casualties decrease but slightly in number, they are far less significant in amount and importance.

THE STAR OF BRITISH EMPIRE. King Theebawss Domain Added to
 Her Majesty's Dominion.
 LONDON, Dec. 31.-Those who have pre- dicted that General Prendergast's conquest of Burmah would not be followed by it's ab sorption into British India are now shown to be very mach out in their calculations. To- morrow the government will signalize the new year by issuing proclamation signed by command of her majesty as Queen of England and Empress of India. The procla- nation is addressed to all the inhabitants of Great Britain and India, who are thereby notified that the territories formerly governed by King Theebaw are no longer under his rule, but have become part of her majssty's dominions and will be administered during her pleasure by officers appointed by the viceroy of India. There isno mention of protectorate or even of annexation. It is plainly and simply the evident appropria- tion of vast territory equal in area to ali New England, with New York, Pennsylva- mia, Ohio and Virginia added, and popula- tion of over four million. This has been the programme of the government, and especial ly of Lord Randolph Churchill, the secretary of India, ever since General Prendergast started from Rangoon to invade the country. The delay in issuing the proclamation is due to the time required to obtain the consent of the other powers. Most of them made no objection, but it is said that the consent of France and Russia was tardily and reluctant ly gained.
