Diary of the South African War and the Startling Events In China De struction by Fire, Storms and Ac cidents Personal, Political and Miscellaneous" Items A Classified Summary. The year 1900 clotted a centnry of marvelous material development and striking social and political changes. During the last 100 years the principle of republican government has been firmly established and the liberties of people living under monarchical rule enlarged by the increase of power in the hands of representatives.
