VICTORY
That Was Conquest, Giving Egypt
to England.
Cornhill Magazine.

CornhiH Magazine.
Eleven of the thirteen French ships
or the line had been taken or DESTROYED,
and two Of the four frigates 1t was
not victory; it was a conquest" So
wrote Nelson regarding it. 1t is I'M
necessary here to speak Of the titles
and rewards which were shoWered on
the victor. 1t is of more real interest
to consider the true significance Of the
victory, the sense in which it could be
said to be conquest" In England
we have too much accustomed our
selves to look upon it merely as the
most brilliant of sea fights, and in
France it has been spoken Of as a re-
verse indeed, but one which cannot
cloud the splendOr Of the battle Of the
Pyramids. None the less it was the
conquest of Egypt; it was the isolation
and virtual Imprisonment Of the French
army.
Bonaparte understood this from the
first, and after vain and hopeless
campaign in Syria-hopeless against
the power which commanded the com
munication by sea-he made an ignon-
inious flight, leaving Kleber to get the
army out of the mess in which he had
put it. Nelson, too, understood it. and
wrote on August Il: 1.-The French
army is in a scrape. They are up the
Nile without supplies. The inhabitants
will allow nothing to pass by land nor
II. N. by water. Their army is vast
ing with the f1ux, and not a thousand
men will ever return to Europe" And
some months later, March %, 1899, he
wrote: THE ambassador of Bonaparte
has been intercepted by Trowbridge on
his way to Constantinople. and among
other articles of his instructions is
an offer to enter on terms
for his quitting Egypt with his army.
This offer is what 1 have long expected
the glorious battle Of the Nile would
produce; but it was my determination
from that moment never, if I could
help it, to permit a single Frenchman
to quit Egypt To Fgvnt
they went with their own consent, and
there they shall remain while Nelson
commands the detached squadron"
A letter from Kleber to the Direc-
tory, written only month after Bona
parte had deserted his post. reveals
the hopelessness which was felt. "I
know" he wrote, "all the Importance
of the possession of Egypt I used to
say in Europe that this country was
for France the fulcrum by means of
which she might move at will the
commercial system of every quarter Of
the globe. But to do this effectualIy a
powerful lever is required, and that
lever is a navy. Ours has ceased to
exist. Since that period everything
has changed. and peace with the porte
is in my opinion, the only expedient."

STRANGE ELECTION BET.
The Loser VIII Remain In Exile All
the Rest Of His Fife.

NAO ANCSN VI his
The most remarkable election bet yet
recorded is one in which the~penalty
stipulated is that the loser shall
promptly leave the United States and
remain an exile from his native land
for the remainder of his lefe The par
ties to this wager, which entails so
great a sacrifice, are G. N. Donaldson
and Fred w. Burke, Of Milwaukee,
Wis. Both are men of prominence in
the business and social circles of that
city and are in the prime of life, and
neither has made any definite plans in
regard to the occupation he will follow
on taking up residence in foreign
lands.
AS may be imagined, both the prin-
cipals to the bet are men who hold
strong convictions, and who, when once
convinced that they are right, are not
only courageous enough to express
them, but are willing, If necessary, to
suffer martyrdom in their defense
1t is difficult to see, however, just
wherein either is to be benefited by the
other exiting himself forever, unless
the feeling between them makes the
United States too small to hold both of
them at the same time.
Mr.. Donaldson is a great believer in
the principle for which William Nc
Kinley has SO long fought in public,
and is an ardent admirer of the Repub-
Hcan candidate as a man. Being sat
isfied in his own mind that the defeat
Of the great protectionist would plunge
the country into all sorts of trouble
and that business would promptly go
to the bow-wows. Mr.. Donaldson an
nounced one night to party of friends
that If silver won he did not want any
thing more to do with such q country
and such a people. Somebody asked
him If he was in earnest and Donald
son gravely announced that if Bryan
was elected he would pull up stakes
and make tracks for a gold standard
country.
The only condition he made was that,
in the event Of his party winning
Some other Milwaukee man should suf-
fer expatriation while he remained at
home and enjoyed the prosperity that
was sure to follow McKinley's election
Now, it was well known about town
that Burke was as rabid a silverite as
Donaldson was a gold bug, and self
appointed committee, made up of prom
1nent men of both factions, notified him
of the Mckinley mans defiance and he
could not say quickly enough that he
accepted the challenge and would pay
the penalty, should he lose, though 1t
entailed the loss of every dollar he
had in the world.

The last remains of Edmund Paul, of
Mahanoy City. who died on Friday of hydro
phobia, were laid at rest in the Protestant
cemetery at that place yesterday afternoon.
The service, which were conducted at his late
residence, on West Pine street. were attended
by large coDcourse of friends who listened
to very impressive sermon preached by Rev.
Hensel. of the United Evangelical church.
Deceased was 81 years of age and is survived
by his wife, but no children. He was Presi-
dent of the Mahanoy branch of the State
Firemen's Relief Association and an active
member of the Citizens Fire Company and
Lodge, No. 617, l. o. 0. F., both organiza-
tions turning out in large numbers. Among
the other organizations that attended the
funeral were the Citizens band, Humane Fire
Company, Washington Hook & Ladder Co.,
German-American Fire Co., all of Mahanoy,
City; the American Hose Company, and g
delegation of the Rescue Hook & Ladder Co.,
of town. The dirge, which was played by
the Citizens band, rendered a very realistic
imitation of the scenes connected with the
life of volunteer freman. by which the
gongs of the fire apparatus were used. The
funeral procession was viewed by hundreds
of people who lined the sidewalks.
