MANILA, January 9.-The situation Is
rapidly approaching a climax, and 1t IS

der arms. and the 'Californians have dis
embarked from the transports.
The natives It is reported. have been
ordered not to work for the Americans,
and the employees in the commissary de-
partment have gone on strike. Many
natives are leaving the city. Major-Gen-
eral Otis. however, has the whole stua-
ton entirely in hand.

Genius Cor the Inornortune.

Times-Democrat, who has made failure
OF life in spite of exceptional equipment
for success He is honest, affable, highly
educated and Industrious as a beaver He
has no bad habits, and l couldn't name a
man in New Orleans who possesses a
kindlier disposition, yet he is continually
out of job and is studiousy avoided by
every body who knows him. The mystic
rious part of it IS that nobody can tell
you just why, and the poor fellow doesn't
understand it himself. He is beginning
to think that somebody has worked a
rabbits foot on him, but the secret is real
ly this: He is a genius for the inoppor-
tune. BY some malign freak of fate he al
ways says and does the wrong thing at
the wrong time. 1t is not like him, but he
never called on me in his life that his visit
wasn't highly unwelcome. He is morally

THE END OF THE CENTURY.

A careful translation of the decree of
the Pope respecting the celebration of the
mass on the night of Dec. 81 makes it an
pear that the time of the ending of the
century was not fixed in the decree as
being the last day of the present year.
as seems to have been very generally I'M
derstood from the telegraphic reports, but
the last day of the year following-the
year 1900. Falling in with the erroneous
conception, however, some newspapers
notable among them being the Chicago
Times-Herald, have been arguing that the
new century really does begin at mid
night, Dec. 81, 1899, where Jan. 1. 1900
begins"
1t seems to us the question is not 81, all
struse. The simple facts are that we are
now about completing the ninety-ninth
year of the present century, and that one
hundred completed years are required 10
make a century. AT midnight on the
night of Dec 81 next we shall have COM
pleted one thousand eight hundred and
nlnty-niue years of the Christian era. and
one full year more will be needed 10 com.
plete the one thousand and nine hundred
years. II man is accommodating dollars

And the first number of any new hundrel

soon as we have ceased to write rs" in

THE SOUTHERN AND THE SEA-
BOARD.


A communication which Mr.. e. 81. John,
vice president aud general manager OF the
Seaboard Railroad, publishes in a news
paper in Atlanta, IS calculated to make
the impression that the Southern Railroad
Is trying to prevent the organization Of
the seaboard system, which includes, be-
sides the Sea board, the Georgia and Ala
bama and the Florida Central and PENN
sular 1t seems that bill which passed
the Senate Of this state few days ago
and was sent to the House, contains pro-
visions which would block the organiza-
ton of the Seaboard System if it should
become law. II puts it in the power Of
the Railroad Commission to say to what
extent stocks and bonds shall be issued on
railroads built under Georgia charters. In
fact, the commission is not permitted by
the terms Of the bill to exercise much dis
erection. The securities Issued must be
limited to the actual value Of the proper
ties which they cover. The aim of the
bill apparently is to prevent the over
capitalization of railroads.
If the bill were not aimed at some par
ticular corporation very little could be
said against it-at least that feature of 1t
that prohibits the placing of stocks and
bonds on a road to an amount much
larger than the actual cost of the road.
Nearly all roads that are built are over
capitalized and for that reason freight
and passenger rates are higher than they
otherwise would be.
The bill is one, however, that is not like
~ to meet with much favor in the House.
II the purpose of it is to prevent the car
rying out of the plans of the seaboard for
consolidating its various parts into one
great system. We do not know Of course
that those who are behind the bill have
any such purpose, but it seems that Mr..
ST. John thinks that such is the bllfs
purpose.
It seems rather remarkable that 80 I'M
portant bin should have passed the Sen
ate and reached the House without at
tracing any particular attention. There
could not have been any discussion of 1t
in the Senate, and il seems reasonable TO
suppose that very few of the senators who
voted for it supposed that 1t was any
thing more than bill to keep railroad
companies from putting out vast amount
of securities on properties of comparative
" small value, and then unloading them
on a credulous public. 1t is safe to say
thai much more attention will be paid the
bill in the House than was paid it in the
Senate

Maitre Labori of counsel for Dreyfus,
has just got unique revenge upon a Paris
newspaper. The paper in question had in
timated in its columns that the wound
which Labor suffered at Rennes was OF
no consequence, and that 1t had been pre-
arranged by himself in order to win SYM
pathy. Labor sued for damages, and Sc
cured the verdict. The sentence was that
the offending paper should pay fine of
1000 francs and insert the verdict in
forty papers in Paris and 200 papers in
the provinces.
