The sum Of sixty guilders (about twenty

greater part two miles broad. But IL satisfied
"the lord sachems of the Manhathes," and

piece OF duffels, 27 ellis long; six axes, six
kettles, eighteen knives, one sword blade one

Not Kuowa Whether or Not He TOOK It
With Suicidal Intent.

Barney O'Malia died at the Rhode ISL

had worked for Joseph Mccormick on

had always been hard drinker. but very
little else was known about the man, for

He saw O'Melia in the barn but paid no

few minutes he saw O'Meha with the
battle to his mouth. The teamster snatohed
it from him. telling him 1t was poison.

Greatest Fifteen Of the World.

Saratoga, whero Burgoyne's surrender took
place, is counted by Sir Edward Greasy
among the fifteen decisive battles of the world
Ey this verdict the American victory comes
into very small and very memorable COM
pany. The worlds history is full of battles
and sieges, and among this almost countless
host only fifteen arc deemed worthy, by mn
ACCOMPLISHED Historian to take rank rs decis-
i've in the widest sense and as affecting the
destiny OF mankind. BY what title does Sar-
aioga rise 10 this dignity? Certainly not
from the numbers engaged, for they were
comparatively small. The victory was COM
plete, II Is true, but army OF 10000 men
has been beaten and has surrendered many
times without deciding anything, not even
the Issue OF the campaign. From the mill
tary point OF Wow tho blow was a heavy one
to England. but she has suffered greater
losses than this IN her career OF conquest and
still has come out victorious.
The fact Is that the significance OF Saratoga
lies less in what II actually was than In what
IL proved and what il brought 10 pass. II
showed tho fighting quality of the American
people, and demonstrated that they were able
10 iise up around powerful and disciplined
force and hunt 1t down TO ruin and sur :
rem jcr. The prospect of conuuering people
capable OF such fighting, defended by three
thousand miles Of ocean and backed by the
wilderness, was obviously slight. Saratoga
meant, further, that the attempt to control
the Hudson, and thus divide the states. had
definitely failed. The enormous advantage
of united country for military purposes had
been won. and the union of the new states,
which, physically as well as politically, was
essential TO victory, had been secured. and,
once secured, this meant ultimate success
Last, and most important Of all, the sur
render Of Bur goyno and the utter wreck OF
his campaign convinced Europe OF these very
facts, OF, in other words, assured foreign
powers that the revolted colonies would win
ia the end. From "Tbe Story Of the Revolu-
tion." In the May Scribner's.

The whole world is waiting to
hear direct from Dewey.
1t is reported that the cable has
been cut so that for some hours no
news even from the Spanish gov
ernor- general or the Philippines
has been obtainable. But it is
highly probable that Dewey
promptly dispatched messenger
boat to Hong Kong with his re-
port Of the operations Of Sunday,
perhaps too, giving forecast OF
what he proposed to do imme-
diately and the prospect of con-
tinued success.
If this is so, we may perhaps be

SPAIN.

The Queen Regent Of Spain is
reported to be aflame with pa
trictic enthusiasm " and to have
declared that though the loss o.
so many ships was a misfortune,
there was satisfaction in the re.
Election that the Spaniards had
covered themselves with honor"
This is all very we'll. Brave
hearts everywhere will recognize
and appreciate this sort of spirit.
But when the Queen Regent de-
clared, as she is reported to have
done, that my spirit can never
be daunted so long as / can rely
on the patriotism and courage OF
the Spaniards," little considera-
ton is necessary to make one feel
that the Queen Regent is asking
a good deal of her people as the
price of her possessions.
She knows, if she knows any
thing, that Spain is defeated and
that Cuba is lost. Relying OH the
patriotism and courage OF the
Spaniards, she may indeed cause
the blood of her people to flow in
rivers, that her spirit may be
maintained undaurted. Backed
by her political addresses she
may for some time continue to
delude and deceive her unfortu-
nate subjects as to the inevitable
outcome. Artemus Ward was
Content to sacrifice all his wifejs
relations in his country's defense.
The attitude of the Queen Regent
would be equally humorous did
not mean something terribly SER
ious to the people upon whose
patriotism and courage she relies
for the impossible task of keeping
her sons heritage OF real estate
intact.
