THE BATTLE OF THE NILE.
Nelson Said 1t Was q Conquest, Not q
Mere victory. n

Nelson Said 1t Was Conquest, Not q
Mere victory. fn
Eleven out of IS French ships Of the
line had been taken or destroyed and
two Of the four frigates. 1t was not
victory; it was q conquest. So wrote
Nelson regarding it. 1t is unnecessary
here 10 speak of the titles and rewards
which were showered ON the victor. It
Ia Of more real interest to consider the
true significance Of the victory, the
sense in which it could be said to be Q
conquest. In England we have too
much accustomed ourselves to look on
1t merely as the most brilliant OF sea
fights, and in France 1t has been spoken
of as a reverse indeed, but one which
cannot cloud the splerSior Of the battle
Of the Pyramids. None the less, il was
the conquest Of Egypt; itwas the isola-
tion and virtual imprisonment of the
French army.
Bonaparte understood this from the
first, and after vain and hopeless cam
paign in Syria-hopeless against the
power which commanded the oommuni-
cations by sea-he made an ignominious
fight leaving Kleber to get the army
out Of the mess in which he had put 1t.
Nelson, too, understood 1t and wrote on
Aug. IL: "The French army is In a
scrape. They are up the Nile without
supplies. The inhabitants will allow
nothing 10 pass by land, nor II. N by
water. Their army lie wasting with the
fux, and not 1000 men will ever re.
turn to Europe" And some months
later, March %, 1899, he wrote: 1.-THE
ambassador Of Bonaparte has been in
tercepted by Troubridge on his way to
Constantinople, and among other arti-
cles Of his instructions is an offer to en-
ter on terms for his quitting Egypt with
his army. This offer Ia what have long
expected the glorious battle Of the Nile
would produce, but IL was my deter
mination from that moment never, il /
could help 1t, 10 permit single French
man to quit Egypt. To Egypt they went
with their own consent, and there they
shall remain While Nelson commands
the detached squadron"
A letter from Kleber TO the directory,
written only month after Bonaparte
had deserted his post, reveals the hope
lessness which was felt II know" he
wrote, "all the importance of the pos
session Of Egypt used to say in Eu-
rope that this country was for France
the fulcrum by means Of which she
might move at will the commercial sys-
tenn Of every quarter Of the globe But
TO do this effectually powerful lever
is required, and that lever is a navy,
Ours has ceased to exist Since that Pc
Rod everything has changed, and peace
with the porte Is, in my opinion, the
only expedient. "-Cornhin Magazine.

Dependency Drives Nino Boitano to
Commit Suicide.
He Told Friend That He Was Going
to Get Married, But Chose
Another Fate.

Shortly after z o'clock yesterday
morning some boys living in Washing
ton, Yolo County, found the body of
young man near an old Japanese cabin
which is near the junction made by the
tracks from the new and old bridges.
The body was in sitting position,
leaning against the fence, and the blood
was trickling from the right ear. A
new 3S-caliber revolver by his side, with
one shell exploded, told the story of how
he had taken his own life. He was we'll
dressed, having on new suit of black
diagonal cloth, a coiored shirt, white
standing collar and imitation ruby pin,
but there was nothing on the body to
show his identity.
Justice Gill was notified, and he in
turn notified Coroner Clark, who went
over and brought the body to the
Morgue. Tt was there identified as that
of Nino Boitano, who has been running
a bootblack stand in front of the Crystal
Palace Saloon, opposite the Plaza 1t
was also ascertained that on Friday
afternoon he told one of the proprietors
that he was tired of living and was GO
ing to kill himself. To the other propri-
etor he said that he was going to take
the 3 o'clock train to San Francisco, and
meet there the girl whom he was going
to marry in the evening. e gave the
proprietor a silk handkerchief and was
given in return three bottles Of cham
pagne for the occasion. The bottles
were found in his room after his DEATH

kill himself joking1y suggested that he

however, until after the announcement
of his death. He was a member of Wal

savings in share in the street-sweep-

JAMES HARRIS EXAMINATION.
Witnesses Tell How he Was Caught
in Sweeney's House.
He Acknowledged Enough to Prove
Him Guilty of Other
Burglaries.

James Hart was examined in the 20
lice Court yesterday on the charge OF
burgIarizing the house of q. II. NC
Laughlin. There is a complaint also
pending against him for burglarlzlng
the house of Frank Sweeney, where ne
was caught by officers Plunkett and
Fitzgerald
Mclaughlin testified that his house
had been burglarized and he identified
two razors found under the carpet in
the Sweeney house, where Hart was
captured.
Officer Plunkett and Acting Police
Captain Ash testified that after Hart $
arrest they asked him to tell them what
he had done with watch taken from
the house Of a man named Brennan
whose house was burglar1Zed about the
same time as theother two. He denied at
first knowing anything about 1t, but
afterward told them where to ind IT,
on a shelf in a closet in Sweeney $
house, and they went there and found
it
Officer Fitzgerald testified that on
last Tuesday a telephone message came
to the station that a man had been
seen to go into 1706 H street. He ana
Officer PIunkett went out in the patrol
wagon and were told that the man was
still in the house.
He went to the front door and Plum
kett to the back door, but both were
locked. They procured key and
searched the house and found Hart
crouching down behind a bureau and
arrested him. The next day witness
went up to Sweeney's house and found
the razors identified by Mclaughlin
hidden under the carpet behind the bu-
reau where Hart was captured.
The charge of burglarizing the house
of Thomas ]. Brennan was then taken
up, and Brennan testified to the bur
glary of his house and that the money
in his wife's purse, his watch, a gold
thinble and a child's savings bank
had been taken.
The testimony of the officers was the
same as in the Mclaughlin case, and
in addition officer Fitzgerald testified
to finding the thimble in Sweeney s
house, and Acting Captain Ash to find
ing the watch in a closet in Sweeney s
house.
The evidence on the charge of bur
glarizing Sweeney's residence was sub
stantially the same, but Sweeney was
absent, and as his testimony was need
ed, the case was continued till this
morning.
