BRIEF RECORD OF YEAR'O PniN
CIPAL EVENTS.
Internal rjlstarbaneea In nasal and
Independent; la Wortrar Close
of )! War In Ilia Kl-JInr
Urent JVamee In Mai of Dead.
Moat significant of tbe events of
1005, because it Indicates unmistak
ably the Inexorable advance of man
kind toward high Ideals of liberty,
justice and perfect civilization, Is the
political and economic upheaval now
taking place in Russia. Wearying
under a load of taxation, ren
dered well-nigh unbearable by added
burdens Imposed by the prosecu
tion of a disastrous war, the
peasantry and common people atsrted
n revolt against the tyrannical aris
tocracy, nnd have been able to forco
from their unwilling ruler many con
cessions tending toward a free citizen
ship. Massacre nnd rapine, In which
tho Jows were the chief sufferers, nre
part of the price paid for the advan
tage gained. Another Impressive proof
of civilization's advance is the blood
less revolution by which Norway has
dissolved Its political connection with
Sweden and seated a king upon its
long unusued throne. The recent ex
posures of graft nnd fraud in high
financial circles and last summer's la
bor troubles In Chicago aro only Inci
dents of the constant conflict being
waged for tbe establishment of Jus
tice and fair treatment between man
and man.
Tbe Russo-Japanese war, after a
brilliant series of land campaigns,
during which one after another of tbe
strongholds of tho Russians in Man
churia fell into the bands of their op
ponents, and a decisive battle on the
Ben of Japan, that Is said to have been
one of the greatest naval contests of
all history, has been brought to a
close, and largely, we believe, by
American Influence.
The completion of the great Slmplon
tunnel was the accomplishment of an
other great engineering feat, and the
Lewis and Clark Exposition In Port
land, Ore., presented to tbe world a
record of achievement In all lines.
Great disasters have been fewer
than usual, though tornadoes In Okla
homa and Kansas destroyed more
than five hundred lives, and earth
quakes, fire and railway wrecks have
done tbelr dread work.
The year's list of famous dead con
tains the names of many men and
women noted In tbe arts, statecraft,
philanthropy and business.
The principal eventa of 1003 are
briefly summarized below:
