Importance was concluded during the year,
by which France has taken long step to-
ward the realization of an African empire
to extend from the French Soudan to the
Mediterranean and Atlantic. Germany
Austria, Italy, England and Russia concur
ring, Spain has practically coded to France
all of her North African holdings with the
exception of few coast towns in Morocco
1t is a move in political geography-giving
to France a larger African territory than
is now possessed by any other power-which
will affect future history but little less than
the war which has established a Japanese
protectorate over Korea.

OTHER DEATHS.

Death has reaped a notable harvest dur
ing the year in the ranks of those who
have been prominent in the industries and
arts of the world France has lost wal
deck-Rousseau, who had promised to be-
come her next president; England has lost
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the great
parliamentarian, while the death of Paul
Kruger has taken from South Africa a
figure which had made that corner of the
dark continent power in history.
In America political ranks are the poorer
for the death of Senators Hanna and Vest
and Hoar, and Postmaster General Payne.
Literature has lost Sir Edwin Arnold, Sam
uel Smiles and Maurus Jokai. Art has lost
Watts, Lembach and Gerome; and the
greatest of modern musicians died with
Dvorak.

King George of Saxony, ex-Queen Isabella
of Spain, Prince Herbert Bismarck and
Field Marshal the Duke of Cambridge
passed away. England also lost Admiral
Keppel, Dean Hole and John Hollingshead,

Dinner With Austrian Emperor.

From the London Chronicle.
The Emperor Francis Joseph has a rule
of life which greatly perturbs some men,
bers of his court. He dimes every day at
half-past 5, and he has done this since the
beginning of his reign. AS that hour does
not suit everybody, it follows that the per-
sonages who are honored with invitations
to dine with the emperor find it very diff
cut to muster an appetite for dinner at tea
time. They suffer in silence for the most
part, but. it is said that a certain great lady
resolved to act.
She was invited to dine with the empe-
ror, but she sat at table and ate nothing.
The kindly sovereign feared she was indis-
posed. No, she was quite well. Then why
did she send every dish away? "Sire," she
answered, Il never eat between meals"
The repartee has had great success at
Vienna. But the emperor still dimes at half
past 5, without the society of that great
lady.

CHURCH UNION IN SCOTLAND.

In the religious world two events of I'M
usua. importance have marked the year.
In England decision by the house of
lords has nullifed the amalgation, pro-
claimed in 1900, between the Free Church
of Scotland and the United Presbyterian
Church. AT that time Moderator Mcqueen
OF the first named body led a revolt against
the union. in which he was supported by
barely two dozen Scottish ministers, and
In which he was opposed by thousands. of
the largest and most influential parishes
of the country. After four years in the
courts McQueen's little party now finds
itself successful and suddenly in full con-
troll of church properties valued in the bulk
at more than $5O,OOOOOO

FRANCE AND THE VATICAN.

Across on the continent an epoch has
been marked in the history of the Roman
Catholic Church by the practical nullifica-
ton of the Concordat entered into a CEN
fury ago by Napoleon 1 and Plus VII. 1t
has been said that this document satisfied
neither France nor the church. but the CO.
ordination of government and church in
terests which it fostered has been of such
value to the church that it's abrogation is
a bitter blow to papal power. M. Combes,
the French premier, took the opportunity
onered by trif1ng dispute concerning the
bishoprics of DIXON and Laval absolutely
to disassociate the French church and
state and the present parliament has lust
upheld him by vote of 325 to 237.

NORTHERN SECURITIES DECISION

The event of the year in the legal and
financial worlds was undoubtedly the decis-
ion of the Supreme CeafTt last March in the
matter of the Northern Securities Company.
Their ruling that this was an Illegal COM
binaton was, however, sreached by so close
vote as to 4-Chief Justice Fuller and
Justices White, Holmes and Peckham dis

THE BALTIMORE FIRE.

II 1904 has been year of war, none the
less has it been year of immense loss of
property by fire and of life by accident The
great fire which, on the eth and Sth of
February. swept Baltimore laying bare 40
acres that had been covered by more than
1000 buildings, has been Surpassed in great
conf1agrations only by the historic fire
which destroyed Chicago in 1871.
The business section of Rochester suffered
In that same month from a fire which rep
resented loss of $2,5OO,OOO. In April a
100000 fire visited Toronto and in July
the flames cost st. Petersburg $2,05OOOO.

THE sLoCUM DISASTER.

The burning and sinking of the General
Slocum in New Yorks East river, last
June, with its loss of 1OS1 lives, was SO
appalling that it threw into the background
even such disaster as the sinking at sea-
few days later of the steamer Norge
which involved loss of GAG lives
In the tornadoes and hurricanes which,
during the year, have swept over the Re-
union Isles, Cochin China, central Russia
and the Philippines, 554 lives have been
reported lost.

DEATHS BY VIOLENCE.

Violent death has been busy during the
year In the far east the war has been
responsible to Russia and Japan for the
loss of at least six commanders of repu-
tation and high position, while at home
Russia has lost the services of her minister
of the interior, Won Plehve, and her govern
or of Finland, Gen. Bobrikoff, both of
whom met death by assassination. Four
other violent deaths which have come to
men of note have been those of the great
Russian artist, Verestchagin who went
down with the Petropavlovck, in April;
Mayor McLane of Baltimore, who died of
pistol wound received by accident, it is
believed, in his private office; Kent Loomis,
whose mysterious death on the steamer on
which he was going out to Abyssinia has
not yet been explained; and John Field,
known the country over in both financial
and political circles. who, in July, committed
suicide near his PHILADELPHIA home.
