The Top of Mont Blanc.

Who is the owner of the top of Mont
Blanc? The question appears at first
sight comical enough, but as it has
been referred to the Government, it GER
tainly has its serious side Naturally,
it is not a single or isolated individual
of eccentric propensities who has
brought forward this claim. The af-
fair is much more complicated Three
municipalities, no less-name1y, those
of Chamonix, Les Houches and ST. Ger
vais-are the rivals in the field, and
old maps and documents are being APP
pealed to with fiery ardor. It is not
the point of honor-the prestige of pos
sessing an extra avalanche or So
which is at the bottom of this lively
competition 1t is lucre a far more
practical and profitable business,
which has set these neighbors by the
ears.
The fact is, that Mont Blanc, being in
greater favor than ever with the trav-
cling public, various spots, situated at
different attitudes on the famous noun
tain, have been let out to enterprising
projectors, and now there is a sharp
fight over the profits. Chamonix has
had the best of these bargains so far,
and, hot dispute having arisen be-
tween Les Houches and ST. Gervais over
a particular point, its municipality mas

One Hundred and Fifty Years

What a mere dot in time seems $50
years when placed in the history of the
world! What a moment in the exis-
tence of the present States of Europe!
And yet, $50 years ago there was not
single white man in Kentucky, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois. The colonsts had
no more knowledge of that now flour
ishing part of America than of the
mountains of the moon. One hundred
and fifty years ago Canada belonged
to France, and the population did not
exceed million and half Of people
One hundred and fifty years ago Prus-
STA, a little monarchy, was getting
ready to sustain single-handed con-
test with Russia, Austria and France
Washington was unheard of, and the
United States were a loyal part of the
British Empire, and on the political
horizon no speck indicated the struggle
which, within a quarter of a century
thereafter established the greatest re-
public of the world. One hundred and
fifty years ago there were four news
papers in America. What a vista of
human energy is displayed when we
look back over the $50 years, as the
twentieth century draws nearl No
country can show it's equal. 1t is al
most ignored abroad. 1t is hardly ap-
preciated at home.-New York Tribune.

municipalities, in presence of this bold
assertion of a claim to such "spherA

and are now importuning the Govern
ment with their appeals for justice
This is knotty problem for the Off
Gals to solve, and if they go back to
precedents they will hardly see their
way out of the difficulty; for the great
map of 1880 only produced the divis-

Washington, December THE govern

agents most interesting account dated
the latter part Of November, of the in
ception and growth of the present revolu-
tionary movement IN Colombia. The revo-
luton, according to this statement, Is an
attempt on the part OF the liberals to Gust

The present revolution is reported to be

poorly armed and undisciplned so that
for the present they can carry on only a

mature and in advance of the arrival OF
proper arms and supplies, being melted bS

disturbance began in Santander. which is
now the center Of the revolution. The
garrisons of the coast towns and ports,
when the advices were sent, were being
hurried to the scene of revolt by the gov
eminent. and only few ragged conscripts
were left for protection. The regular
troops were asserted to be 10000 strong,
well armed with Mausers and disciplined,

END is BY NO MEANS NEAR
FILIPIyos ARE AS FAR FROM SUB
JuGATION AS EVER.
Notwithstanding the Hard Cam
paigning of the Past Few Weeks,
the Instruction Is Still On.

New York, December IA dispatch
from Manila says: The hope of ending the
instruction and hating the military oper-
ations in the Philippines, which seemed so
bright few days ago. has again faded
into the uncertain future Still much has
been accomplished. During the last few
weeks the campaigning has been almost
phenomenal. In dreadful weather through
a devastated country, across swollen riv-
ers, along roads that are impossible for
wagons or artillery and in some cases for
cavalry, the advances of the troops have
been so rapid and in so many directions
that they often have been beyond military
telegraph lines and the operations have
necessarily been independently conducted
by the field commanders. The army is
rightfully proud. The insurgents had
series of routs and disasters. The saugh-
ter has been great. They lost large
quantity of supplies and munitions of war
and more than 1000 armed men have sur
rendered or been captured during the re-
treat of the last few weeks. Their gov
eminent is scattered or captured. What
of 1t is at liberty is in flight. portion
of Aguinaldos family is in our lines
Aguinaldo himself is a fugitive,
Notwithstanding all these things there
is no reason for an extreme optimistic
view OF the situation. Nothing more is
heard OF having the insurrection stamped
out In the course of few days. That sort
of talk only lasted while the insurgent
leaders were slipping away last week. The
field commanders now think the end Is
still afar. 1t is admitted that little is
definitely known of the present strength or
whereabouts OF the insurgents.
Aguinaldos army is estimated at from
2oOOO TO $4,000 armed men, scattered
throughout the islands. There are As 900
American soldiers now in Philippines. 3d.
900 being in Luzon. Still We hold less
ihan one-third of the area of Luzon. but
what We have is most desirable territory.
All the $4,000 American troops. here and
to come. will be easily absorbed in active
campaigning and garrisoning. The army
can not continue its present exertions an
other month with the poor food In the
country without much Illness.
