ENGLAND's DEPENDENCIES.
Much Territory Has Been Acquired
in the Far East by Historical
Accident.

Says Prof. Bryce: More by series
Of what may be called historical acci-
dents than from any deliberate purpose.
Great Britain has acquired vast trans
marine possessions" This is peculiar
~ true OF the British settlements and
protectorates In Africa and the far east.
The English have no possessions In
North Africa. The sphere Of their in
fuence and dominion in the dark con-
tinent extends from Cape Verde on the
west and the Gulf of Alden on the east
to the Cape Of Good Hope. England's
scattered colonies and dependencies in
this district have an area Of more than
100000 square miles and population
estimated from 10,0o0,00 to 100000.
To Great Britain more than to any other
nation belongs the credit Of bringing
this unknown land into contact with
European civilization. British enter
prise and capital have done much to de-
velop its abundant resources. British
traders, hunters, soldiers and mission
aries have traversed its wilds and sailed
its rivers and lakes. Along with other
blessings that England has brought to
Africa, her share in suppressing the
slave trade should not be forgotten

INCREASE OF ARMY CERTAIN
Even II Defeated at This Session, the Next
Congress WIN Pass the Reorgan-
IEatIon BuI. II Il Said.

Washington, Dec. 27.--The president
is confident that the bill for the in
crease of the army will pass the pres
ent congress in spite OF the work Of
Col. Bryan to secure Its defeat in the
senate In anticipation Of this result
the volunteer troops are to be mustered
out as rapidly as possible. But even
should the present congress fall to pass
o bill for increase of the army, 1t is not
believed that such failure In the pres
emit congress would create emergency
sufficient to demand an extraordinary
session. A clause In the appropriation
bill continuing the appropriation for
the regular army upon Its present
status Of o., 900 men will, it is believed,
fully meet the contingency, until the
convening of the Fifty-sixth congress
In regular session in December next,
when, with a republican majority in
both houses, there is no doubt what
ever that o reasonable bill for the in
crease of the army can be passed.
