Concise Btory of That Victorious
Conflict International and Internal
Itlaeenalona Among Knropean Coun-trlea-Dlsaeter
and Ieath at Home
and Abroad. . '
To him who Is concerned with history
la the making there very rarely comes a
year more heavily laden with Important
events than the year 1S9S. It has seen
every state In Europe, except peaceful
Scandinavia and the Dutch communities,
face to faca with cither war or internal
dissolution some of them within meas
urable distance of both. Yet the greatest
effects have not been In Europe; 1S0S has
seen the United States forced, not by any
greed of power, but by its humanitarian
ideals, to take its part la European rela
tions. A brief but glorious armed conflict
with Spain has been begun, prosecuted to
Its end and settled by a treaty or peace
upon which the ink is scarcely dry. The
inception of great political clianges nus
been witnessed in China; two European
rulers have come to their death; several
men and women prominent in statecraft
military affairs, reform, literature and
mnsic, hare passed away: the year baa
been marked by some terrible marine dis
asters, causing great loss of life; and fire.
flood and storm have numbered their vic
tims by scores and caused extensive loss
of property.
The chronological table that follows
gives the most Important happenings of
180S, foremost among which are those of
the war with Spain.

custom that men bare and mon are
more frequently eufferers fioin the dis
ease than women of habitually sitting
