THE DUKE OF VERAGUA
sketch of the Distinguished Descendant OF
Christopher Columbus.

Christopher Columbus.
The Duke de Veragua. who. with
other distinguished foreigners. came to
this country TO see the naval review
and attend the Worlds fair Is the
thirteenth in descent from Christopher
Columbus. and for this reason alone is
a notable man But he Is not one Of
those indolent beings who are content
with ancestral honorS. On the contrary,
he is noted for his vigorous personality
and for the originality Of his views on
those subjects TO which he has given a
lifetime Of thought-nameiy cattle
breeding and agricultural improve
ments Moreover. he is a statesman Of
no mean calibre and his opinion carries
considerable weight in the liberal
councils of Spain.
Though comparatively wealthy, the
duke is by no means as rich as some Of
the older families of Spain. His income.
much of which is derived from his ex-
tensive and well managed estate, is es-
timated at $50 200 a year, and this is
small when compared with the incomes
of a few very old families, whose an
cestors were potentates when Christie
pher Columbus was unknown. The
duke. however, is one OF the greatest
grandees in Spain, and the prestige
which necessarily attaches to his des-
cent from Columbus Is very great

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

The ImPortanee Of the Affair Greatly
Diminished by the Early DATe.
Had congress fixed a seasonable time
fyear for the review its Importance
would have been greatly increased
Twice the number OF foreign ships
might have been in attendance. In a
function" of this kind each of the lead
ing maritime nations is largely infiu-
enced by the display that other navies
make For instance, Great Britain
would have sent whatever ships were
necessary 10 outshine the feet Of any
other power. Similarly France and
Russia certainly and Germany and
Italy probably would have sent some
OF their most powerful ships if each
knew that the other would be so repre-
sented.
Owing to the delay in getting the
necessary appropriation from congress
our government was unable to push
preparations until the last moment,
and as foreign nations could not be ex-
pceted TO take action any earlier than
ourselves, no arrangements were def
nitely made until very recently.
Russia Set the Pace.
Now, in this matter great deal de-
pended on Russia The sympathy of
that nation for Us in 1S6l-65 has been
well remembers here, and whenever
