OF this amount nearly one-h has

remainder to be accounted for in

chase Of records from private indi-

complete this work, which consists OF
III volumes. The largest book in the
world is in the Chinese department OF
the British museum, and consists OF
5000 volumes. This wonderful pro-
duction OF the Chinese press was pur-
chased few years ago for 36,0O0.. and
is one of only three copies in existence.
1t II an encyclopedia OF the literature
OF China, covering a period OF twenty
eight centuries-from 1000 B. G. to 100
A. d. 1t owes its origin to the liter
airy proclivities Of the Emperor Kang-
no. who reigned from 1862 to 1879. In
the course of his studies of the ancient
literature of his country, Kang-he dis
covered that extensive corruption had
been allowed to creep into modern edi-
lions, and he conceived the idea Of
having the text and the originals re-
produced, and preserved in an authori-
tative form. This was a mighty con-
ception, and in its execution 1t remains
unique down to the present day. For
the purpose of carrying out the work
Kang-he appointed commission OF
learned men to select the writings to
be reproduced, and employed the Jesuit
missionaries to cast copper types with
which to execute the printing. The
commission was occupied for forty
years in its great task. Before the
work was completed Kang-he died, but
he had provided that his successor
should see the book completed. The
book is arranged in six divisions, each
dealing with particular branch of
knowledge. The divisions are thus
designated: First. writings relating to
the earth; third. writings relating to
mankind; fourth. writings relating to
inanimate nature: fifth, writings re-
lating to philosophy; sixth, writings
relating to political economy. New

Admiral Dewey has told the Presi-
dent that a declaration by Congress,
as soon as possible after it meets in
Dece mber, for the suppression of the
Aguinaldo rebellion and the retention
of the Philippines will be more effec-
tive than the army and the navy in
restoring peace in the archipelago,
where Aguinaldo has made the i'm
preston that Congress and the country
are opposed to the ''President's warn
and will repudiate it later on. This,
the result of the work of Aguinaldo,
sympathizers in this country, has
done more, Admiral Dewey says, than
any other one thing to prolong the
conflict, and until it is formally and
officially disavowed by Congress,
Aguinaldo will be able to use it effec-
lively. The President has fully ac-
cepted Admiral Dewey's idea, which
is also commended to him by all the
other members of the Philippine COM
mission, including Gen. Otis. The
President tells his friends that he has
been entirely misrepresented in re-
ports which have been sent out from
Washington to the effect that he does
not propose to place the Philippine
question before Congress when it

President Mckinley left Washing

he goes to cast his vote for the straight
republican ticket, not because he
considers his vote necessary to the
success of the ticket, but because he
thinks it the duty of every citizen to
cast his vote when it is possible to do
so. AS he was getting aboard of the
train, he expressed absolute conf
dence in the election of Judge Nash.

The administration has every reason

The administration has every reason
for feeling that it's policy has been
fully sustained by the elections of last
week. While there are class among
the supporters of the president who
would be glad if the country was
clear of the Philippines they fully
realize that no other course is open to
the administration than that which is
being followed. We can not back out
without being condemned by the
whole civilized world, we could not
trade or give them to some other
general war, and none of those who
oppose the present policy can frame
anything to take the place of it.
