because Of the part which Maynard PLAYED in
the notorious conspiracy to steal enough seats

Sketch of the Distinguished Descendant of
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
Colum bus, and for this reason alone is
a nota BILE man But he is not one of
those indolent beings who are content
with ancestral honors. On the ontrarv,
he is noted for his vigorous personality
and for the originality of his views on
lifetime of thought-namely cattle
breeding and agricultural improve
ments. Moreover, he is 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. a year, and this is
small when compared with the incomes
of 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 Column bus is very great

COMPARED WITH AMER
ICAN VESSELS.
Distinguished Guests From
Abroad.

The naval review of 1895 in New York
harhor will go down 10 history as the
most imposing marine spectacle the
world has ever seen. Never before has
such an array Of war vessels been
gathered together.
School children, as well as many
children of larger growth" have
been taught to regard the ''Invincible
Armada" with which the misguided
Philip IL, King of Spain. fondly i'm
agined that he would be able to effect
the conquest of England. as the most
formidable naval demonstration ever
known This is of course ridiculous
error, for on many occasions since then
there have been gatherings of war
vessels which would have annihilated
the misnamed "Invincible Armada
In an hour.
The great Spanish armada was made
np of 65 galleons and large ships, 25
urcas of 500 To zoo tons burd en-. 10 ten
ders of 20 to MOO tons, IL small frigates,
4 galleoses and 1 galleys, in all 1870 yes

tonnage participating in the great

ain would be forced to Guido her; but
if Russia sent only meagre display of
force Britannia could afford to rule the
waves with very much weaker de-
tachment.
Russia's choice for the parade was
one that showed a continuance Of her
warm regard for this country. Seven
of her most powerful ships were de-
tailed for duty in our waters and if
they could have arrived here in time
for the review Great Britain's big bat
tie ships would have been found lead
ing the foreign end of the parade. But
alas. our worthy legislators made no
change in the date assigned to the re-
view in their bill, and in April it had
to be held Consequently the Russian
armorclads, blocked in the Baltic by
ice, could not be got away in time to
take part in the review, and the Russian
limited to few light cruisers
Limited Representation.
That limitation set the keynote for
all the other powers. England sent
only one frst-class ship-the Blake
and few indifferently good cruisers;
France only one more vessel than she
sent to the naval parade last October;
Germany a couple of modern cruisers
and Italy one or two more than she had
last fall.
But if Russia could have sent her
seven stately battle ships, Great Britain
could not have sent less than ten, the
tricolor of France would have been
seen on seven or eight, Germany would
have had to keep step with her Gallo
foe, and even Italy would have been
forced to send something better than
