Late Literary News.

The recent success of the British arms
over the Mahdists in the Soudan demon
strates thatIeven fanaticism cannot stand
against drill and discipline, But in earlier
days, it is easy to understand why the
Arabs swept all before them. An ingen-
ious tenet of Mohammed taught bis fol.
lowers that the hour and minute and &C.
oond of death were fully ordained. There
fore the believing soldiers self-regardless
fighting was for while invincible. Con-
fucious, Zoroaster, Budha, Brahma, Mo-
hammed-each of these great religious
thinkers now has his followers beneath the
flag of the United States. 1t ls con-
the highest political wisdom to
understand what each of fournew wards be-
lieves The February number of The Cos
will contain the first chapter
of "The Founding of an Empire" by JOHN
BRIsBEN WALKER. The first part gives
bird's-eye view of sMohammed and his
religion.

NO LEAP YEAR!
The Familiar Rule of Four Will Be Bro
ken In 1900.

The familiar rule that leap year is every
calendar year with number divisible by
four will be broken in 1900, which fact
need not be regarded as an indication that
even then it will be time for a. change.
This rule of the almanac may account for
the proverbial activity of the new woman
at the close of every century. Then there
is no leap year for eight years. February,
1900, will have but twenty-eight days, the
extra day not appearing from 1895 to
1904. Centenary years are not leap years.
That rule will be broken in the leap year
1000, when the interruption may be re-
garded as an indication that it is time for
a change. Centenary years divisible by
400 are leap years, consequently there
were twenty-nine days in February, 1000,
and the same number of days will be given
to February, 1000, and again in 24OO.
The object of this rule is to make the ca
lendar year coincide with the solar year.

Successful Bear Hunt.

Last Saturday man cut tree down in
Nye's Cove, near Cove Creek, and bear
emerged from hollow in the tree. He
and the bear were both so astonlshed that
bruin went one way and the
man the other. On Sunday morning
word was sent to MIR. Floyd Gillespie, on
the head of Clear Fork, about the bear be-
ing seen in Nye's Cove, and on Monday
morning Mr.. Gillespie, accompanied by
Mr.. r. A. Crockett and others, went to
Nye's Cove, taking with them pack Of
dogs. They were met there by DR.. Hicks,
of Clear Fork. Tie dogs soon struck the
trail of the bear and most exciting chase
of nearly ten miles was made, the dogs a
number of times coming up with the bear
and lively fights taking place. At last the
sixteen year old son of Mr.. Gillespie over
took the dogs and bear on the head of
Clear Fork and poured load Of buckshot
into the forhead of the bear, ,at very short
range, killing it almost instantly. During
the fights that took place the thigh of one
dog was broken and another badly Grip
pied. 1t was found that the bear weighed
about 300 pounds and was in fine order.

Words of Praise.

There is an old saying that elfpraise
is half scandal" When words of praise
come from others it is not only gratifying
to receive them, but excusable to make
them known. One day last week we re-
ceived letter from the travelling agent of
large manufacturing firm enclosing a
contract for certain amount of advertis-
ing in the REPUBLICAN. In the let
ter he said /:
81 will accept the price you quote, al
though it is higher than we pay up here
So to 81 an inch per year is our usual
price. will admit though that l don't
see many papers that are as neat and clean
geographically as yours
This letter was written from town in
Massachusetts, and by gentleman who
makes contracts with thousands Of news
papers each year.
Last week we received a letter from a
distinguished gentleman in the far West
who has been a subscriber to the REPUB-
LIcAN for several years. In his letter he
said:
"We all read the REPUBLICAN regularly
and take great interest in its columns.
You make your paper readable and inter-
esting, and we old Virginians are always
eager to receive news from our native
state"
The editor of country weekly who does
conscientious work OH his paper has diff
cult place to fill, and it is gratifying to re-
ceive such words Of encouragement as we
have quoted above. We thank the gen.
temen who wrote them.

are the companies represented by the ].
f. Hurt Insurance Agency. In the great
Chicago fire, in 1871, where over two thou
sand acres of solid city were swept away,
or an area of nearly four square miles, the
companies in this agency paid their losses,
in full, while eighty other companies were
bankrupted. Seven companies In this
agency alone paid ninteen millions of dol
lars. Thirteen months later the great Bos.
ton fire swept away seven hundred and
eighty brick and stone buildings in
the heart of the city, and these same
seven companies were called on to con.
tribute eight millions more; and again
they paid their losses in full, while some
forty companies that escaped the Chicago
fire we're bankrupted by the Boston fire.
Why should you take policy in g COM
pany that has not been tested, when a
policy in one of these old, reliable compa-
nies will cost you no more?

A NEW PRESIDENT.
National Assembly of French Republic
Elects M. Loubel Chief Executive.

Paris, Feb. 2S-The national assembly
met this afternoon when M. Loubet pre-.
sident of the senate, declared the session
open for electing president. The first
ballot resulted in the election of Loubet,
who received $50 votes to 270 for Meline.
1t was announced this morning that Du-
puy definitely declined to enter the con-
test.
There was manifestation last night
against Loubet and in favor of Meline be-
fore the republican club league of patriots,
which it was announced this morning in
tended to use all its power to prevent the
election of Loubet and the So
cial's also supported him. The conser-
vative and moderate journals endorsed the
candidacy of Meline.
Some fatality follows the presidents of
the French republic. Of the six we have
had, only President Grevy lived through
full term of Office, and he was forced to
resign by hostile vote of parliament.
Marshal McMahon found he could not re-
main President with dignity. NJ Casimir
Perier's motives for throwing up the stu
alton are still mystery. Carnot was as
sassinated, Faure smitten as if by thun-
derbolt.
The funeral of the dead President will
take placement Thursday in the Cathedral
Of Notre Dame, and the interment will be
made in the cemetery of Pere Lachaise.
After the remains had,been embalmed the
body was attired in evening dress, with
white waistcoat crossed by the Grand Cor
don of the Legion of Honor. 1t was then
laid on white mattress in the study.
The remains will lie in state in the ball
room of the palace, which is draped with
black.

In The Same Name For Over hundred
years.

There is farm in this county that has
been in possession of the same family for
one hundred and six years. 1t is situated
in the upper end of 1hompson's Valley and
was patented by the Commonwealth Of
Virginia to William Thompson. Since that
time it has been held by four owners, in
cluding the original patentee, and each of
them bore the name. of William Thomp-
son. So the title has not only remained
in the same family for one hundred and
six years, but it has stood upon the land
books all the time in the name of 'Wil-
liam Thompson" We doubt if there is an
other similar case to this in Virginia, and
doubt very much if there is one like it in
the United States.

we could not ask their views. Nor can we

Until Congress shall direct otherwise i
will be the duty of the Executive to possess
and hold the Philippines, giving to tht
people thereof peace and order and benef
cent government, affording them every
opportunity to prosecute their lawful pur-
suits, encouraging them in thrift and in
dustry, making them feel and know that
we are their friends, not their enemies
that their good is our aim, that their vel
fare is our welfare, but that neither theil
aspirations nor ours can be realized unit
our authority is acknowledged and unques
toned.
That the inhabitants of the Philippines
will be benefited by this Republic is my
unshaken belief. That they will have q
kindlier government under our guidence, land
that they will be aided in every possible
way to be self-respecting and selfgovern'
ing people, are as true as that the Amer
ican people love liberty and have an abld'
ing faith in their own institutions.
No imperial designs lurk in the Ameri
can mind. They are foreign to American
sentiment, thought and purpose. Oul
priceless principles undergo no change un-
der tropical sun.

If We can benefit these remote people,

perils and sacrifices? Who will not re-
joice in our herUism and humanity?
Always perils, and always after them

The present is all absorbing to me, but

an American soldier or from a misguided
Filipino, is anguish to my heart but by
the broad range of future years, when that
group of islands, under the impulse of the

of plenty and of increasing possibilities, g

There are many strong indications that
an extra session of Congress will be occa.
stoned by the obstructionists.
Mr. Bryan's friends will realize that
"fools rush in where angels fear to tread"
Bryan's feeble effort to reply to McKin-
ley's Boston speech will bring the realiza-
ton.
In debate in the Spanish Cortes on the
2Oth inst, Count D. Almernas said the
Spanish army in the recent war was an
"army of lions led by asses" He was
mistaken. 1t was an army of asses trying
to fight an army of lions.
The latest news from Manila Is to the
effect that the plan of the insurgents was
to capture the city and then exterminate
all persons, of whatever race, except the
Filipinos. Perhaps the knowledge Of this
fact will awaken fresh sympathy for Agui.
nado in the breasts of his ardent admir-
ers in the U. S. Senate.
General Miles has appeared before the
the court Of inquiry and testified on the
"embalmed beef question. He was
very careful in the statments he made.
He found difference between swearing
and talking. In his published interviews
he was much more emphatic than he was
in his sworn statements before the court Of
inquiry.
We heard Democrat on Monday speak
ing in the most enthusiastic terms of Pres
ident McKinley's Boston speech. He en-
dorsed everything the President said, and
remarked further that Mckinley had been
conservative, and had not made single
misstep in connection with the war with
Spain. The gentleman in question voted
for Mr.. Bryan in 1896, and We suppose he
will vote for him in 1900.
President Mcklnley's great Boston
speech had hardly appeared in the press
before Mr.. VIM. Jennings Bryan was CIV
ing out interviews in which he was trying
tolbreak the force of the President views. If
Mr.. Bryan had taken the trouble to ascer-
tain in what esteem the public held Mr..
McKinley's views he would not have made
ridiculous effort to criticize speech that
is beyond criticism.
Recently Texans shipped their first car
go of cotton to Japan. 1t consisted of Is,
600 bales and was loaded on the Japanese
steamer Tamba Maru. This was the first
vessel ever loaded at a Gulf port for Japan.
and it will go to that country by way of
the Suez Canal. This shows how deeply
the South is interested in the trade of the
Orient and the great necessity for our
section to have the Nicaragua Canal built.
In the four years between 1893 and 1897
the value of American cotton exports to
Japan had increased from $4,000 to So,
346, 600. From 1897 to the close of 1898
the increase was from 50 ,S46, 600 to$7, 400,

ports to Japan is not limited to cotton.
The commerce in petroleum increased from
%, 900, 600 gallons in 1892 to 50,0Oo,0 900
in lS97;iron manufactures from SSS, 900 in
1893 to $2,5Oo.OOo in 1897. The increase
in many other articles has been cores

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The state de-
partment received dispatch from
President Schurman of the Philippine
commission, giving the substance of
the conferences with the representa-
tives OF Aguinaldo, and asking for fur
Their instructions While the text OF
the dispatch was not made public, Sec
rotary Hay stated that it showed very
satisfactory condition of affairs i'll the
Philippines. and pointed to a settle
ment Of the difficulties there.
The reply Of the president to Prof.
Schurman' cablegram, it was under
stood, stated that he was very anxious
to nave the peace negotiations concluded
at the earliest possible moment, and to
this end he desired that no unnecessary
or Illuminating conditions should be i'm
posed upon the insurgents.
1t was believed III administration cir
cles that as soon as Aguinaldo was con-
vlnced of the sincerity Of the American
government he would agree to sur
render. He will be required, however,
to lay down his arms. This will be the
principal condition, and until an agree
ment on this point is reached the nego-
tlatlons will not make any progress
toward a conclusion.
