Domestic.—During the year 1898 the exports of the United States amounted to $1,254,925,169, the largest amount ever exported during the history of the country. The imports amounted to $633,664,634, or about one-half the amount of the exports. This gives America an immense trade balance against the rest of the world, and has resulted in large importations of gold to pay the balance. These importations during the past year were the largest ever recorded. A veritable boom has thus been occasioned in the New York stock market, resulting in enormous purchases of shares of stock in American enterprises......Dr. F. S. Kolle, of New York, reports the discovery of a new process of printing, in which the X-ray is the all-important factor. The copy is clamped down over a block of one hundred sheets of sensitized paper, and the flash of the X-ray reproduces the copy on each of the one hundred sheets. A number of these blocks may be exposed at the same time, which would make it possible to print as many as 6,000 copies a minute. It is stated that ten men could print, develop, fix, wash, and dry 7,500,000 copies in one day of eight hours......The Federal Grand Jury has just closed its session in Alaska, with indictments against 277 persons for infractions of the laws of the territory, most of which were for violations of the liquor law. The jury reports that the present prohibitive liquor law in the Territory is a farce, and advises that it be replaced by a high-license law. It would seem that in the eyes of the jury there was some unseen power going with a high-license law which would compel inefficient officers to enforce it, while a prohibitive law must necessarily lack this occult support.....There has been introduced in the California State Legislature a bill "to Prevent Sabbath Desecration, and to Secure a Weekly Day of Rest."......August 10 is set as the day for the Chilcat and Wrangel tribes of Indians in Alaska to officially bury the hatchet. These two tribes have nominally been at war for the last 600 years. On the day mentioned there will be a grand peace conference between the two tribes on the Chilcat River......A bill has been introduced in the New York Legislature the object of which is to make Sunday a day of recreation, and to allow the operation of theaters and circuses, and the playing of baseball......A general court-martial has been ordered by the President for the trial of Commissary-General C. P. Eagan, on account of his recent attack upon Major-General Miles. The court-martial is ordered to convene on January 25 or as soon thereafter as practicable.
On January 20 the Senate passed the Nicaragua Canal Bill with only six dissenting votes. This is the Morgan Bill, but it has many amendments. It provides that the Government of the United States shall build the canal under contract with citizens at a cost of not to exceed $115,000,000. The canal is to be completed within six years. One of its amendments empowers the President to negotiate with any other Central American power for a canal route, in case of obstinacy on the part of Nicaragua or Costa Rica. Another provides for the abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty between this country and England, by the provisions of which England was to have a part in any canal across Central America. Not more than $20,000,000 are to be expended in any year upon the construction of the canal......The government has advertised for bids for returning to Spain the Spanish soldiers still in the Philippines......Arrangements are now under way for the establishment of a large military instruction camp in the Hawaiian Islands. The idea is to make it a permanent camp, to accommodate 12,000 men, where the regulars will be inured to service in tropical countries......Senator Caffery estimates that the expense of the imperial policy of the United States will amount to over $221,000,000 per year, $200,000,000 of which would have to be raised by direct taxation of the people of this country......A forcible reminder of the grim meaning of war is seen in the shipment of 500 coffins to Manila on the transport Ohio, which is soon to sail. The coffins will be used in shipping to America the remains of soldiers who have already died in the Philippines, as well as those who will fall hereafter in the battles with the natives which are confidently expected.
Foreign.—An act to prohibit aliens from owning placer mines in British Columbia passed the Provincial Parliament on January 19 and received the formal assent of the Lieutenant-Governor. The act goes into effect at once......The Duke of Abruzzi, nephew of the king of Italy, is preparing an expedition to the North Pole, which place he expects to reach in August, 1900......Two Italian cruisers are to sail within a few days for Chinese waters. It is reported that Italy intends to seize a Chinese port. The government denies such intention, but it is evident that Italy means to be on the ground when the spoils of empire are parceled out, if China should ultimately be divided among the powers......The revolutionary forces in Bolivia are still victorious, and have captured a considerable portion of the government forces. They are in possession of the capital, La Paz, where it is said that great enthusiasm prevails in view of the prospect of the success of the revolution......There is serious trouble in Colon, Colombia, over a strike of dock laborers, and considerable rioting has taken place......There has been more fighting in the Kongo Free State, Africa, between the Belgians and natives. The former have been defeated.

Three hundred of these were sick, and there were forty-four deaths during the voyage......Fresh rumors of a Carlist rising are agitating Spain, and repressive measures are being adopted against the Carlists.
The rebellion in the Chinese province of Nganhwui is spreading rapidly and is being increased by rebels from the neighboring province of Honan. They have captured the city of Ku Yung and ordered the execution of all its civil and military officials. An entire battalion of the imperial troops were massacred by the rebels when the city was taken. Other cities have fallen into their hands, and the rebels are threatening the provinces of Kwangtung and Kiansi.
A decree has been signed appointing General Lord Kitchener Governor-General of the Soudan......An army of 20,000 Dervishes, belonging to the command of Ahmed Fedil, surrendered to the British on the Blue Nile, January 18......Under the new Irish local government John Daly has been unanimously elected mayor of Dublin. Daly was the political prisoner who was released from Portland prison in 1896 after having been sentenced to penal servitude for life in 1884 for complicity in the plan to blow up the House of Commons while in session, by throwing dynamite bombs from the strangers' gallery.
......There are strong indications of an agreement or understanding being arranged between France and England for the purpose of averting such unpleasant incidents as the Fashoda affair......There has been a bloody battle between the two rivals for the throne of Samoa. The forces of Malietoa Lanua (who was declared by the American Chief Justice to be the rightful king) were defeated by Mataafa, seventy-three men having been killed or wounded in the fight. Trouble also occurred between the American and British consuls on the one side and the German on the other, which resulted in the latter being thrown out of the Supreme Court building, in which he had locked himself. The three powers are negotiating for a settlement of the trouble. The American cruiser Philadelphia has been ordered to the islands......An all-day's battle occurred in Ecuador on January 23, between the government troops and the forces of the insurgents. The latter was routed at nightfall, and fled toward Bolivar, followed by the government troops. The losses in killed and wounded on both sides are placed at 800.
Casualties and Calamities.—The great six-story store of A. J. Cammeyer, on Sixth Avenue, New York, was almost completely destroyed by fire on January 18. The loss is placed at $750,000......A very severe earthquake visited Port Antonio, Jamaica, on January 21, but the amount of damage is not yet known......A strong earthquake shock was felt throughout Southern Greece on January 22. Many villages were practically destroyed, and the people are camping in the suburbs. The shocks were repeated on the following day, and a large number of buildings which had been damaged on the previous day were demolished, injuring many people......A British first-class battle-ship collided with a third-class cruiser at Devonport, England, on January 23, driving a hole in the cruiser below the water line. A repetition of the collision of the Victoria and Camperdown, with the terrible loss of life which resulted, was narrowly averted......Smallpox is raging in the Zuni Indian reservation, in New Mexico, and is reported to be rapidly thinning out the tribe, despite the efforts of a government physician and trained nurses to prevent it.
New Trusts.—The Virginia Coal, Iron, and Railway Company, with a capitalization of $15,000,000, consummated a deal on January 22, by which it comes into possession of all the immense blast furnaces of Max Meadows, Pulaski, and Roanoke, Va., and Bristol, Tenn.

The capital invested by the companies which are entering the deal is said to be at least $100,000,000.
The Philippines.—The force of American troops which was despatched to Iloilo, on the island of Panay, has landed on an island near that city to await developments......Aguinaldo has issued a third declaration of Philippine independence, and is working to secure the recognition of independence from other powers.

No outbreak has yet occurred between the two opposing forces in the islands, but disquieting rumors are continually reaching the press of the country.

E. H. GATES
By E. H. Gates
FROM ONE WHO HAS READ IT
OAKLAND, Cal., Jan. 20, 1899.
I have read with the deepest interest the first thirty-four chapters of the "Desire of Ages," and can say without the least hesitation, and in truth, that it is the grandest book I ever read outside of the Bible. Nothing I have read before has ever given me the spiritual encouragement that this book has. To say nothing of the mechanical execution of the work—the beautiful and appropriate illustrations, the strong binding, and the good paper on which it is printed—I can simply say I am surprised and delighted with every page I read. Though I have many times since my childhood read the life of Christ as given in the Gospels, and as written about by other authors, I now see a thousand beauties in that life which were not revealed to me before. Almost every sentence reveals some new truth concerning the "old, old story," or some new phase of the old story with which we have been so long familiar. To me the Christ life seems more desirable than ever before. Chapter 34, based on Matt. 11:28-30, is worth more than the price of the book; in fact, its worth can not be estimated in money. The appearance of the book at this stage of the message, when the Lord says, "Arise, shine; for thy light is come," can scarcely fail to give a great impetus to the work of preaching Christ to the world. I could scarcely have a greater ambition than to be instrumental in placing this book in the homes of the millions in this and other countries.

Especially good for general distribution, as it deals with principles only. It explains what the Spirit of prophecy is and how it is manifested. It contrasts true and false manifestations, and tells how to distinguish them. It gives the meaning of "open visions" and "night visions;" it speaks of "women as prophets;" of "prophecy in the early church," and the reason for its discontinuance, etc., etc. The main object, however, is to show from the Scriptures that this gift will be prominently connected with the remnant church. It is the very best publication ever published with which to introduce the Spirit of prophecy.

The Pitcairn and Public Printing
By Editor
On Sabbath, January 21, services were held in the Oakland S. D. A. Church to bid farewell and pray for the blessing of God upon those who were about to start on another cruise with the missionary ship Pitcairn. Sunday morning at ten another short prayer and song service was held on the deck of the ship as she was about to leave the wharf. The vessel was then towed by a tug to a point in San Francisco Bay near the Golden Gate, where she lay till the next morning, for favorable wind before starting on her long trip. A fuller account of the services, and the Pitcairn's proposed cruise among the islands of the Pacific, will be given next week.
We learn on going to press that a bill has been introduced into both Houses of the California Legislature requiring that all public printing shall be placed in union offices. What does this mean? Is it a good or bad measure? Think of it.
ROME IN THE IMPERIAL POLICY.
By C. M. S.
THE Roman hierarchy has been, in heart, opposed to the fundamental principles of this government from its inception to the present time. Fidelity to the character of her laws and institutions demands that she be so. She never professed anything but hostility, open and avowed, to the Constitution of this country until it was "interpreted" by our Supreme Court in accordance with her own desires—an interpretation, by the way, which has twisted and distorted it out of all semblance to what its framers intended.
That same power is now riding on the crest of a great wave of imperialism that is sweeping over the country. Its aim is to induce the United States Government to annex all the territory abandoned by Spain in consequence of the late war; and subtle are the arguments which she is putting forward to accomplish her design. The Protestant church membership in the United States is now 17,500,000 in round numbers; the Roman Catholic, 8,378,000. With these Roman Catholic countries as a part of our domain, the Catholic population of the United States would be nearly, if not quite, as large as the Protestant.
The greater rate of increase in the number of her adherents, coupled with this formidable foreign acquisition, would soon place Rome in the position of dictator in the affairs of this government by the very power of a popular vote. This is what she is looking forward to; this is what she expects to attain. That her power would be paramount under such conditions is certain. With the conditions as they are now, her bold demands are catered to in the support of her Cuban clergy, in the arrangements for the education (under papal supervision) of the Cuban people, and in the retention by the church of the millions of dollars worth of property which she has extorted from those people. She dares not advocate that Cuba and the Philippines become republics. There is a well-established precedent against it in the confiscation of church property, by the republic of Mexico. If Cuba does become free, Rome has the promise of this country's influence against such a calamity as overtook her in Mexico when her glittering spoils of centuries were stripped from her. In carrying out her purpose the Catholic Church is supported by a majority of the influential journals of the day, which are doing their utmost to advance the cause of imperialism.
This is Rome's object in forcing the Government of the United States away from the principles of its organic law into the whirlpool of imperialism, just as she and those who are warring with her weapons have forced the expounders of our Constitution to defy its founders and declare that this is a Christian nation. The nation is at the parting of the ways in this matter. How far will she follow the leadership of Rome for Rome's glory and her own undoing?

Valuable Principles for Consideration
By Editor
Dr. Paulson's article in our Home department this week sets forth some most valuable principles that are worthy of more than a mere casual consideration.
Tobacco
Tobacco.—The wholesale tobacco and cigar business last year amounted to $19,000,000. The retail business must have been nearly $40,000,000. What good did it do?
Speaking About Others
When talking about others, just imagine them present, and then say only such words as you would say in their hearing. If this simple plan is faithfully followed, it will save much trouble and many heartaches.
The Gathering for Armageddon
Sometimes it seems that England and France are about to adjust their difficulties and then new excuses for quarrel suddenly break out. And thus it goes the world over. The spirits are now working that will soon gather the world in armies to meet at Armageddon in the battle of "that great day." It is most intensely interesting and solemn to watch the developments. When the crisis is reached, it will be fatal to be on the wrong side.
We have just received a copy of California Senate Bill, No. 306, introduced Jan 20, 1899, by Senator Simpson, of Pasadena. It is long, containing nine sections and ninety-five lines, besides the preamble. It is drastic, its fines in some cases reaching in the maximum to six months' imprisonment or $500 fine, or both. We believe that our readers, not only in California but elsewhere, desire to know what such legislation means. We shall in our next and future issues endeavor to enlighten them.
Sad, Unwelcome News
By Editor
"Sad, Unwelcome News."—It is with feelings of deep sadness that we chronicle the unwelcome tidings of the death of Prof. G. H. Bell, of Battle Creek, Mich. He was riding in his carriage near his home when the horse became frightened and ran away. The vehicle finally struck against a telephone pole and the horse broke away; but before this Professor Bell had sustained fatal injuries. He was taken to the Battle Creek Sanitarium hospital, and everything that skill could suggest was done to restore him, but he never regained consciousness, and died in about three hours. Professor Bell was prominently connected with the founding of Battle Creek College, in fact, its first instructor, an institution which has grown till its enrolment is over one thousand students every year. His specialty was the English language. "Bell's Grammar" and "Bell's Language Series" are peers of the best, the value of which is recognized by those who know them. For teaching the pure, sweet English in its simplest yet strongest beauty he had few equals, and we doubt if he had a superior. This we know personally, for we found in him a splendid teacher and generous, helpful friend. While he had filled the years of man's allotted age, he was still vigorous in mind and body, and Battle Creek educational circles sustain a great loss. Our sympathies are extended to the bereaved ones, we mourn with them.
Peace Proposals and Militarism
By Editor
The czar of Russia does not seem to be over-sanguine in regard to the outcome of his peace congress. But still the congress may do some good. All the overtures of peace that any one can suggest are needed in this time. But there is one great danger. The spirit of this age is militarism and not peace. And unless the real facts are kept in mind we may find ourselves among those who fulfil the prophecy by saying "peace, peace, when there is no peace." At any rate, the czar's proposals of peace would seem much more consistent if it were not known that his naval dock-yards at Sevastopol are "in a state of feverish activity," and, further, if he was not having his military and naval stations carefully inspected, if he was not urging forward every possible means of defense, if he was not increasing his garrisons on the Turkish border, and if he had not enrolled more soldiers and marines during October and November than ever before.

Bibles, Bibles!
Bibles, Bibles!—Mr. Henry Froude, publisher to the University of Oxford, England, tells us in The Sunday School Times of Jan. 14, 1899, that "the Oxford press alone sent out approximately 500,000 complete Bibles in the year 1875, 650,000 in 1876, 700,000 in 1885, 900,000 in 1890, and five years later the yearly output reached 1,000,000. The other Bibles produced in Great Britain would probably amount to twice as many more, while it is well-nigh impossible to estimate the number that are being printed in America and other parts of the world." Praise God for this. Let us pray that humanity may receive that Word and be saved by its blessed message of life.
