REVIEW OF THE YEAR
BRIEF SUMMARY OF EVENTS oc-
CURING IN 1900.
Year Of the Century Made
Memorable by Many important Hap.
peniu9ss Wars, Internal Disturb
ances, Great Casualties, Etc.
Many and important are the events
that make up the chronological record of
the closing year of the nineteenth CEN
'itury. The manifestation Of anti-foreign
feeling in China, which led to the siege
of the legations in Pekin and the relief
expedition of the world-powers, was un-
tdoubtedly but the beginning of changes
in rhc governmental affairs of that an
.cient kingdom that will shake the dy-
nasty to it's foundations and seriously
threaten the integrity of the country. The
wars in the Philippines and in the Trans
jvaa1, legacies from the preceding year,
fhnve been continued through 1900 and
ARE passed on to 1901, without having
been brought to decisive official conclu-
lsions. Organized anarchy was RESPONSE
ble for the assassination of King Hum
bert of Italy. To the heat Of political
warfare must he attributed the killing Of
Gov. William II. Goebel Of Kentucky,
and the race feeling between whites and
blacks was the cause of serious riots In
New Orleans and New York. Two oc-
casions upon which many human lives
were destroyed by the elements were the
great fire at IIoboken, N. j., in June
and the destruction Of Galveston, Texas,
by that memorable September storm. The
opening Of the Chicago drainage canal,
'She discovery of the south magnetic pole,
and the Paris exposition were three inn
portant events in the realms Of science
and industry. The roll of prominent per-
sons who have made their exit from
earthly surroundings since January first
last embraces the names Of those famed
in statecraft, industry, literature and mu-
sic.
