A X cent and New Construction Put Upon
the Illinois Stock Law.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 30.-The Illinois state
live stock commission has made another
ruling with regard to the yarding of Texas
cattle at the stock yards. Hitherto the
law has been construed to require that
Texas cattle arriving in Chicago shall be
yarded together and separate from other
cattle, aud great complaints have been
made that no distinction was made be-
tween cattle that had Texas fever and
other cattle that we're sound and healthy,
Now the commission has construed the
state law to refer only to cattle from the
infected district of the southwest. There
are inspectors at st. Louis and Kansas
City whose duty it is to certify to the
authorities here concerning all cattle
passing through those places whether or
not they are from the infected district,
and they are then to be treated here.
Accordingly. hereafter the stock yards
will have no jurisdiction of these cattle
and if they are not certified by these in
spectors are to be loaded outside of the
infected district. They will still be
ysrded with cattle from that district.

New Theories Regarding the Birth Place
of Christopher Columbus.
LONDON, July 30.-The impetus given
by the recent meetings In New York to
prepare to hold an international exposi-
tion in that city in 1892, the four hund.
reth anniversary of the discovery of
America, has revived the discussion as to
the birthplace of Columbus. The abbe
perreti, VINO is the cure of Oalvi, thinks
that Columbus, as we'll as Napoleon, was
Corsican. fhe general opinion is that
the discoverer of America was born at
Genoa, but other places have laid slain to
the honor. Thus Buggiasco, Cogoletto,
Savona aud Nervi have been mentioned
and now there is tire shadowy pretentions
of Calvi. The able has found the
names of three somewhat famous
sen aptains-Christofer Oalvo, Bar
tolomeo Corsi and Jacopo
Oalvo. These, he thinks, are the unidsnti
fled relatives of Christopher Columbus.
True, they do not bear the name made so
famous by their supposed relative, but in
the middle ages, as the Able Perriti Justly
says, it was not unusual, but on the con.
trary very common, for men to be known
by the name of their native town or by
that of their fatherland. These Corslcan
seaman, whose names the Able Perriti has
found in the annals of three Geonese his.
torians, Giustiniaui, FOglietts and Bra
celli, CORE, pond in date and other par
ticuars to the great uncle, the uncle aud
brother of Columbus.
This can hardly be regarded as conclu.
sive evidence, although it has Sufficient in
terest as clew worth following up. Blu
even if it we're proved that the family o
Columbus had a connection close or re
mote with Oalvi, it would not set aside tn
long presum ption in favor of Genoa a
the birthplace of the man who found the
ocean pathway to the new world.
Another speculation about Columbus is
that he was of Jewish origin. The jewish
World, without indorsing this "dariug
suggestion" says that "the name Chris
topher was frequently adopted by con
verts, while the surname, Colon, was borne
by distinguished family of Jewish schol'
ars. Christopher's brother, Diego, bore
originally the Jewish name jacob, which
sounds suspioiously like a 'SheH Kad
osoh.'" Further it mentions that "Jewt
