January 17, 1884 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information on various socio-political and administrative developments in the U.S. and around the world during the year 1884. Politician Samuel Baker writes in the journal Nineteenth Century on the future of the Sudan, of which he was Governor or Commander for several years. He now predicts dreadful consequences to the peace and order of the region if it be abandoned. The slave trade, he says, will be revived, and chaos will prevail on a great scale; but he evidently makes little account of the element of religious fanaticism. Another is a report on the full text of the treaty between Chili and Peru as published by the Herald.
