Disasters on Land and sca-Devasta-
ton by Fire and Pestilence-The
Year of'o4 Made History Rapidly.
Below will be found q concise recital Of
all the events at home and abroad which
go to make up. the history of 1904. In
America, as.in Europe, there has been ex-
perienced q period of severe financial de-
preston. The year was marked by the
most stupendous disturbance of labor cir
cles in the history of the country, neces-
Stating the employment of government
forces for. its suppression. Political coll
tests have been nearly as stirring us a
national election. The world has been
thrilled by tales of horror from devastat-
ing forest fires, and death hns claimed
many illustrious men. The year will be
long remembered as one of the most nota-
bic of the century. Abroad, the theater
OF news has been principally in the Orient.
There is at present raging the war be-
tween Japan and China, and to the aston
ishment of oil civilized nations the island
kingdom has worsted its mighty foe in
every contest of note. Fort after fort
has fallen before Japan's forces, and
three separate armies IRE marching upon
the capital of the Flowery Kingdom. The
Chinese empire. if not fallen, is humbled,
and has already taken initiatory steps to
sue for peace. Continental Europe has
been at peace, and Russia mourns the
death of her Gear.
