The coming year promises to be crowded
with stirring events.
In the United States the entrance of new
issues into the political arena has been fol
lowed by a change of administration. Bttt
the great economic question on which the
campaign turned is still unsettled, and it
solution is now committed to a congress air
most equally divided between the two great
parties.
liurope is a vast camp. Army corps pa
trol the frontiers, and millions of men await
the signal for the most titanic war the world
has ever seen. .
The Examiner's news-gathering machin
ery is unequalled. Its correspondents dot
the habitable globe. Nothing can escape
their vigilii nee, and no expense is spared iu
spreading the results of their efforts before
the Kxamiuer'8 readers.
The most noted writers of fiction in th
world contribute to the Weekly Examiner.
Jules Verne, author of "A Trip to t e
Moon," etc.; Robert Louis Steyetson, "an
thor of "Treasure Island," etc.; Rider
Haggard, author of "She," etc.; Anna
Katharine tireen, author ot "llie leaven
worth Case," etc.; have all written stories
for the Weekly Examiner, and will do
