Down On Columbus.

One OF the most DELIGHTFULLY."-
humorous aspects Of our late antag-
onlsts Is their utter absence of sense
OF humOr. Some American lester
having predicted that when the Span
iards got through with the war they
would repudiate Christopher Column
bus for having discovered America,
the Madrid journals are verifying the
prediction by asserting with truly
Iberian profundity that Cristobal
Colon has turned out TO be the evil
geni"us Of Spain.
1t Ii evident that If the old mariner
had been content with staying in the
Mediterranean and had not gone
about bothering morarchs to furnish
'um the me ms of discovering the
new world Spain wonld have no col
onies. and having none she could not
lose them. @lt's i'll taking the treeks
off a H'elander," says the Scotch
proverb, and by the same logic, il it
had not been for the mischievous
activity OF Columbus Spain would
have been thoroughly guarded
against such disasters "a have now
befalien her.
But even upon the Spanish method
OF reasonrng-that Columbus was at
fault and not the ages plumber and
cruelty which have wipel ont the
Spanish ownership Of nearly half the
world-our Madrid friends forget
that Columbus gave them three CEN
turtles of squeezing the colonies that
followed his discoveries in South
America, md fnnr in Cuba and Porto
Rico. Inasmuch as Columbus was
thrown into diefavor and prison
while he lived, we should say that
the balance between him and Spain
was still in his favor.-PIttsburg Dis

Dreyfus Convicted.

The Dreyfns trial, or farce, was brought
to an end, Saturday, by his conviction
and subsequent sentence to 10 years.
Imprisonment. Ii Is stated that the Off
GERS making up the military court stood
to 2 In favor of conviction and the
statement is also made that the court
finds extenuating circumstances. What
the mitigating circumstances can be In
the case of man or military officer
found guilty of treason to his country, it
is hard to understand.
If the reports received on this side the
Atlantic, were correct, or nearly so,
Capt. Dreyfus was convicted without
sufficient legal evidence, to establish in
this country prima .facie case of larceny
before grand jury or police court.
The appearance is very positive that
the court was convened to convict and
did its work promptly. For some rea-
son the French government at the be-
hest of the army thought it necessary to
again convict this Jewish captain and it
was done, regardless of the weakness of
the case against him.

PearY Heard From.

Those who have followed the career
OF Lieut.. Peary In the frozen north will
feel relief to know he has been heard
from. The steamer Windward arrived

ing all we'll on board. She left Etah
North, Greenland, Aug. %. The
steamer Diana is expected within a
week. Lieut.. Peary had some severe
experiences with frost bites that made it
necessary for him to have several toes
amputated. He has made long journeys
over the ice fields.
One item of particular interest is re-
lated, the finding Congre exactly as
Greedy left it 16 years ago. The table
was standing from the last meal and all
the other appointments had remained
undisturbed. The buildings were in
fair condition, though some of them
would not be servceahle much longer.
He took possession of all the property,
real and personal, in the name of the

effect. He brought away and is sending

Newspaper Enterprise.

The celebration of Admiral Dewey's
return to his native land will be one of
the most important civic events in the
history of the United States. New
York City has voted the sum of $50, 003
toward defraying the expenses of the
event, and the State of New York has
contributed $4,000. There will be mill
tary and naval parades, fireworks,
dinners and speeches. The entire city
will put on gala attire and the streets
will be festooned with streamers, bunt-
ing and flags. At this time, also, the
great international yacht race between
England and America will take place
Toe railroads and steamboats, entering
New York City will all make low excur-
sion rates, and this fact, together with
the manifold attractions which New
York will offer, will bring to the city
hundreds of thousands of visitors from
all parts of the Union.
1t is expected that the capacity of
hotels of the city will be taxed well up
to the limit and to meet this contingency,
and to aid in a public spirited way all
intending visitors to secure ample room
ing accommodations, the Brooklyn
Eagle, through its free Information
Bureau, will, without any charge what
ever, supply TO any and all persons
applying for it information as to where
rooms, with or without board, can be
obtained in either boarding houses or
hotels in the entire City of New York
The Manhattan Bureau is located at 1872
Broadway, N. Y. and the Main Bureau
in Rooms Is and 20 Eagle Building,
Brooklyn.
The Brooklyn Eagle will also furnish
guide book of the city, with program
of the Dewey reception. This guide to
the metropolis will be sent free to any
address on receipt of cents to cover
postage. All communications should be
addressed to the Eagle Information
Bureau, Eagle Building, Brooklyn, n. Y.

GermanY's Position.

One significant thing in the Dreyfus
case was the declaration of German off,
cials. The legislative organ at Berlin,
Sept. sth, published the following state
ment in the official portion of the paper :
"We are authorized to repeat here
with the declarations which the Imperial
Government, while Loyalty observing the
reserve demanded in regard to the in
ternal matters of another country, has
made concerning the French Captain,
Dreyfus. For the preservation of his
own dignity and the fulfilment of a
duty to humanity, Prince Won Munster,
after obtaining the orders of the EN-
peror, repeatedly made, in December,
1894, and III January, 1905, to NJ. Hano.
taux, M. Dupuy and Nj. Casimer-Perier,
declarations to the eff ct that the impe-
rial embassy in France never maintained,
either directly or indirectly, any rela-
tions with Dreyfus."
Secretary of State Won Buelow, in the
Reichstag, Jan. "a, 1898, made the fol-
lowing statement II declare in the
n ost positive manner that no relations
or connections of any kind ever existed
between the French ex-Capt. Dreyfus,
now on DEVILS Island, and any German
agents.

Inches. Every precaution is used to
insure safekeeping Several locks must
be opened to reach It, and the key OF
each lock Is in the possession of a
different man. 1t is publicly exhibited
very rarely, and then only by order of
the senate. A precautionary decree
was passed In 1476 forbidding all per-
sons to approach the priceless treasure
too closely. An antiquarian advances
the theory that It was one OF the gifts
made Solomon by the Queen of Sheba.
and has written n book to prove his
assumption. 1t is difficult In these

Bad Freight Wreck,

Twelve cars of the through freight

in an accident just after midnight, Sat
urday. The train was just passing the
State Fair grounds station when the
eighth car behind the engine broke away
from the train and eleven others were
piled up on 1t and across the track in
every direction.
Six or eight of the cars are badly dam
aged, some of them being total wrecks.
The engine was sent down to the
Bates street station and a message was
wired to the superintendent at Portland
who sent wrecking crews from Water
Vile and Portland which arrived about
a. M, Sunday, and went to work i'm
mediately. The main track was cleared
for traffic at about p. m. The only
interruption to the traffic was the de-
rention of the through Skowhegan
freight, No. IS, which was due to cross
No. % at Lewiston at about the time of
the wreck. The work of clearing the
spur tracks was done, Monday. The
cause OF the accident is supposed to have
