VIEW s OF A spANIARD.

st. Louis, December 2. Louis Esteye,
a member of prominent firm of grain
and cotton importers of Barcelona, Spain,
WAS visitor at the Merchants Exchange
in this city. He dwelt interestingly on
tho subject of the late war as viewed from
q Spanish standpoint In the course of
his remarks he said: 81 WAS in BARGE.
Iona, which is one of the leading coast
cities of Spain. during the entire war and
had opportunity to study the situation in
my country. I am firmly convinced that
this loss OF our colonies will in the end
prove a blessing to Spain.
with good government Spain VIII
now be more prosperous than for many
years, as her colonies have been more OF
as burden than blessing for some
time and the people will be forced to
deyelope the vast resources at home which
have b5en neglected in the enueavor to
make as much as possible out of the
colonies.
1.-THE Philippines were really not of
much benefit to Spain as the commerce OF
those islands was controlled by England
and Germany and Spain's business with
the islands was comparatively light-how
light you may judge from the fact that

really q burden, and | don't envy the
United States the acquisition of them.
Americans living in Spain were in no
more danger than Spaniards in the
United States and isknow OF two Ameri-

will have considerable trouble with the
PHILIPPINES and viii regret having taken
them away from Spain.

MINING BY VOLCANO LIGHT.
A Curious But Convenient Phenomenon
On the British Columbia.

Tacoma Wash, December 2.-Further
Information of the active volcano discoy-
cred in the Atlin gold district In British
Columbis is to the effect that the volcano
furnishes the miners light by which to
WORE tn cir claims during the long DARK
ness of the Arctic winter. The glare from
the spouting lava rejecting back against
the sky, gives an almost CONTINUOUS
twilig bit to the upper end OF the Atiin
dist riot.
All the passengers of the steamer Cot
taee City, arriving from Alaska, have
stories to tell of the volcano.
Dr. Kinslow of Denver says;
'The mountain in eruption Is the SEQ
ond in the range OF four towering peaks
lying about so miles south of Lake gladys
and a slightly shorter distance from Atlin
City These mountains ara all of at least
ia 900 feet altitude, and the crater rest
ing trifie below its three brother peaks.
"lt was in the early part of October
that the smoke was first seen from the
mountain. With the thought of avol-
cano furtherest from the minds the mi
ners attributed these first signs of rup-
tion to clouds hanging about the peak
So constant, however, was the cloud that
it became an object of daily observation
from A tin City. Then, on NoveD her

Through the smoke cloud there shot Q
stream of molten lava, boulders and ashes
that frightened tho sky for :niles and
sent its light through the darkness down
upon the men working in claims below.
A panic ensued among the miners when
the aches began falling upon them. Inc
q shes fell to a depth of several inches.
when we left the miners were WORK

light which turned night into day.

VERDICT OF CoRoNER's JURY.

Foxcroft December o-After an in
quest over the body of Willis Parker, the
Young man who was shot while hunting
ia the woods near Sebec on Tuesday last,
the iury has decided that Parker came TO
his death by the accidental discharge OF a
gun, either in his own hands or in the
hands of his companion, Melvin Norton.
The story of the tragedy told by Norton
at the inquest was much clearer than
that told by him after the shooting. The
muzzIe of the gun from which the fatal
shot was fired was SO far removed from
the body that the charge of buckshot
spread over space four or five inches in
diameter.

The Kennebec journal is mistaken in
Saving that the Portland was supposed to
be a steamer capable of OUTLYING any gale
that blows. It is perfectly well known
that steamers of her kind are not fitted
for encounters with heavy seas and gales.
The officers of the company understood it.
and for that reason have always been ex-
ceedingly careful to keep them out of
bad weather. How careful they have
been is attested by the fact that up to
last Saturday for half a century they had
run their boats without the loss of a
steamer or a life.

has been indicted for omission of duty
ana malfeasance in office by reason of his
conduct in regard to the Virden riots.
He probably deserves conviction and
punishment, though perhaps as tbs

likely to suffer much Of the latter. Stil
