MORGAN AFTER
COLUMBUS TREASURE

Madrid, July 26.-Private advices
received here state that ]. Pierpont
Morgan has started representatives to
this city, who will arrive within few
days to secure, if possible, the ledgers
recently discovered at Palos, Spain,
containing interesting facts concern
ing the outlay made by Christopher
Columbus on his expedition to the New
World. According to the accounts
found the armament of the little fleet
cost $4,000 pesetas. The personal ex-
penses of Columbus and his officers
were about 1000 pesetas and six pese-
tas month sufficed for the crew, SO
that 10000 pesetas or about $4,000 was
spent for the eight months that the
voyage lasted. The sum total for the
discovery of America was, therefore
SO 900, or about $1,000. In spite of the
small amount required, however
Queen Isabella was forced to paw
her jewels, it is related, to provide
] funds for the expedition.

Icehera Blocked Harbor.

Discussing the iceberg question,
Prof. John Milne of London writes
that the year he visited Newfoundland
one of these ice mountains had stuck
in the Narrows, which is the entrance
to st. Johns harbor. The capital OF
Newfoundland was bottled up. "a
fort pounded at the intruder for a
time, but they might as well have
pounded at the Karakoram mountains
The monster stopped all traffic either
in or out. On the third day, however

soudanese Almost ExtermInated.

The general opinion of the Egyptian
fellaheen is not fiattering one. We
have generally looked upon him as
beast Of burden whose only idea Of
retaliation for the blows showered
upon him is to find some one even
more abject than himself and repeat
the castigation with interest. But
Lord Kitchener in his first report has
good word to say for the fellah. He
speaks of him as zone of the best and
most hard-worked types of humanity"
so we will willingly revise our esti
mate and stand corrected. Incidental
ly Lord Kitchener tells US that the
population of the Soudan was about
nine millions before the Mahdist re.
bellion, that after the rebellion II
was reduced to two millions, and that
1t is now over three millions. The
trifing reduction Of seven millions OF
people was due to war and starvation
That 10 to say, they we're killed.
