ORLD'S EVENTS.
Things lila. Will Happen and Events That
Will Come to Pass During the
Ensuing Year.

My prediction, made i'll the London papers
year ago, for the year of 1898 and 1899, was
so widely copied and has come tr1e in so
many of the prophetic clauses, that | do not
hesitate to again use my gift of prophesy for
the year. l call it a gift, but 1t is the exer-
else of no supernatural power. In making my
predictions l am assisted by the stars, the his
tories, the t1end of affairs of political import
and the opinions of statesmen. At the same
time am lucky in forecasting events that are
not foretold of any of these.
| predict for the balance of the year 1899
and 1000, first, that the Beers will win.
deny the truth of the prediction that the
world will come TO an end this year and see
nothing to indicate that it can do 50 before the
year 1901. Tie Worlds Fair must be cele-
brated and the prophesy must be fulfilled, ''and
all nations shall stand together where mighty
hero cucn Stood
This might mean Napoleon, or it might be
construed to apply to hero of the next cen
tury. "All nations shall gather where mighty
hero once stood" would apply to the close of
the next century as we'll as to this. All indi-
cations point to a continuance of this era.
Endof-the- world people are mistaking the
signs. The present era has, in my opinion,
another hundred years to run, though it may
possibly terminate in 1901. If so, it will be
during the Worlds Fair
THE QUEEN S DEATH
lanentabie event will occur in the death
OF Eugland's queen, and the prophesy will be
fulfilled which says: "And in the last half of
the century Europe's greatest and richest mon

predict that fashions will change. Women
Will dress palmer and men will dress in bright
er coors The men of 1900 will wear red and
yellow-yes, and other colors for their small ar
ticles of dress, such as vests and ties and
gloves, more than they now wear them.
Russia and Japan will have horrible war !
in which Japan will win; this isapositive.
Russia in all her pride and greatness will suffer
and Japan, the quiet and peaceful, ~Vill take
away her territory from her. Japan's name, I
repeat, will grow to be great-yes, almost as
powerful as that of England, and the sun shall
not go down upon her possessions.

Concentration of Railroads.

The observation-disclosures Rockefeller people
announce that over $4,000 miles of railroad
will be concentrated under one management !
And right on the heels of this comes the An
nouncement that all the telegraph, cable and
telephone systems will we consolidated That
will mean that the few controlling men in these
combines will have the power to ma Ike and Uni

ness man whom they do not like OF whose com.
petitor is friend of the managers in the conf
bine, by the system of rebates compared to
which the power of kings and mobiles is insig-
nihcan.. And the American people are sitting
down and permitting the coils OF tyranny to en-
trench themselves. with all the power of the
government, and expect they will not use that
power Never were the people in the power Of
few that it was not used so that it became ops
pressive beyond endurance, and the greed Of
the modern millonares has shown itself asl
heartless as ever Nero or Caligula. There is
fine time just ahead of us, people, ana you
will feel it, If you will not listen to reason,
you will listen to something more coarse, but
more effective, with stupid, bisoted minds.

The war in Africa is nothing compared to
the Importance of the war against the trusts
that is starting in this country. 1t means that
people will rule or be ruled by those who con-
troll the great industries of the nation, There
will be no peace until the trusts are owned aud
controlled by the whole people, as the trusts,
by the use of military force, shall stiAe all op-
position ana crush out all self-government in
the United States. Every effort to force some
other question, such Is money, Imperialism or
tari1, will be used by the trust nagnates, but
it will not win. Trusts arc the most important
question, and socialists should ignore all 9TH
ers. Next year we will be face to face with the
question of industrial liberty or servitude.-

The Spectator urges Americans to appoint
only moderate number of whites to admins

ant posts with larger salaries, adopting Baron
Cromer's principle in Egypt, so as to have
"American heads and Filipino hands"
And this is the way we are to give the Fill

at present on tour of inspection of the larger

He was sent out by the Japanese government
especially to examine into the scientific works
and methods Of our American universities A
few weeks ago, he visited the Kansas State
University at Lawrence, and, while there, de-
livered two interesting lectures before the
chemical and pharmaceutical departments.

$50 far as I have noticed there are no defend
ers Of the trusts among the newspapers es-s
pecally the paper truss: In the last year pa
per has been raised in price frcaI 81, at the
mill to $2.Io-an increase of SIS per cent, and
the end is not in sight. When the editors have
the power to defeat this trust and step its ex-
tor1on, is it not foolish to submit? How can
they do it? Easiest thing on earth. The pa
pers of this or any other country, working in
in anything near harmony, can control legisla-
ton. No politician dare oppose them. If
even large majority of the pepers will de-
inand through their columns that the govern
ment establish paper mills and sell it at cost of
good wages, it will be done. Paper can be
made at a cost not to exceed half cent
pound at the mill. Japan has just put in
mill because the paper makers robbed her in
price and quality. The agitation of the sub
ject will cause the paper trust to lower prices,
which it can we'll afford to do Newspaper
men, why be robbed when you have the power
to protect yourselves? The trust has no mercy
on you-why should you remain silent under
its eXto-tion Start the demand for A govern
ment paper mill, and never let up. Refuse to
support any man for legislative Office who
will not pledge himself to this demand If
you will not do this, the trusts have the con-
sent of your silence that you are willing to be
extorted from. Anything that tends to stop
the circulation of knowledge among the people
is bad, and the raise of paper has the tendency,

Why should the poet of these pregnant times
be asked to sing CT wars unhoy crimes?
To laud and euogize the trade which thrives
On horrid holocausts of human lives?
Man fighting beast when earth was young,
And war the only theme when Homer sung.
'Twxt might and might the equal contest lay.
No so the battles of modern day.
Too often the conquering hero struts,
A Gulliver among the Liliputs.
Success no longer rests skill or fate,
But on the movements of n syndicate

To-day, the warrior fights because he must,
And in his secret soul feels shame, because
He desecrates the higher manhood laws.

In this great hour than bloody deeds of men,
Or triumphs of one hero (though he be
Deserving song for his humility.
The rights of many-not The wortho one
The coming 1sSue-not the battle done
The awful opuence and awful need
The rise of brotherhood-the tall of greed
The soul Of man replete with Gods force;
The call "to heights!" and not the cry 'o horse!''
Are not there better themes in this great age
For pen of poet, for voice of sage,
Than those old tales of killing? Song is dumb
Only that greater song in time may come.

DIR. ROkAKU'S REPORT.
Cases OF Supposed Cholera in la

DR.. Rokaku, the representative of
the local Board of Health in Japan,
writes by the China:
Notwithstanding the cool weather
the epidemic seems to be increasing
and extending. a few cases of sup
posed cholera have been noted in the
native papers between the 18th and
10Th inst. but are not included in the
official returns by the Home Depart
ment. AS published, they are as fol-
lows: Tokyo, 9 cases and deaths:
Ishikawa Ken, case; Kanagawa Ken,
3 cases and 1 death; Saga Ken, 1 case.
Il am inclined to consider these
nestras, or instances of the ptomaine
poisoning frequent among poor, fish
eating people, notwithstanding the fact
that some of the cases are represented
to have been bactsriologically dag
nosed.

been utterly unable to obtain any re-
cent statistics. 1t is, however, stated
to be abating. In this connection

ence with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter had the dysentery
in it's worst form. We thought she
would die. 1 tried everything l could
think of, but nothing seemed to dc
her any good. l saw by an advertise
ment in our paper that Chamberlain S

one of the very best medicines we
ever had in the house. 1t saved my

By courtesy of the Postal Telegraph
Company the kilograms were sent free

free for the occasion" was added after
consultation with A. d. Shepard. general
freight agent of the Southern Pacific, who
said his company would deliver three car
loads free whenever the committee was
ready, starting one from TruCkee, an
other from Upton and a third from River
side. He said he would also instruct
the collection Of donations. All such
freight more than three carloads. he stat

hundred and fifty-five dollars was pre-
sented to the Citizens Executive Com
mittee yesterday by Lieutenant Colonel
Barnett and Major Knapp, representing
the regimental officers. In making the
presentation Major Knapp said:
"Our regiment fully appreciates the
kindness shown us and the respect shown
our beloved friend the late Colonel Haw-
kins. 1t was a manifestation of spirit
for which the California people are de-
servedly noted. AS a feeble token of the
esteem which the officers of our regiment
bear the citizens of San Francisco. we
offer this small contribution to the fund
they are raising for a reception to their
own soldier boys upon their return to
their homes and their friends.
Mayor Phelan acknowledged the con-
tribution, saying that it came as a sur
prise but that the committee fully ap-
preciated the spirit which prompted the
action on the part of the Pennsylvania
officers.
The check was turned over later to the
executive council of the finance commit
