CONCERNING COLUMBUS.
Where lie First Landed and The Resting
Place Of His Remains.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-At the last DAVIS
session of the American Historical Society
President Adams of Cornell University,
New York, read an interesting paper on
THE Recent Discoveries Concerning Co.
lumbus Volumes have been written on
the subject of the first landing-p place of Co.
lumbus in the New World and the final rest
iDg-place Of his remains. President Adams
is OF the opinion that these questions have
been definitely settled by the recent investi-
cations Of the German explorer, Rudolf
Coonen, who went, abont a year ago, to tho
Bahamas to study these questions. Presi-
dent Adams paper reviewed the work of
C0onen and gave the first information of the
result OF the explorers labOrS.
Coonen's conclusion is that the first land
ing was OF Waiting Island, one Of the
Bahamas, and at or near Grahams Harbor
on the west side OF the island. This con-
clusion is arrived at after a most careful in
spectl0n CT all authorities and comparisons
with Columbus journal, etc.
VI still more Importance are his investiga-
tlons In regard to the resting place of the,
remains of Columbus. COonrn is convinced
that the Spanish authorities are mistaken
in surprising that his remains were trans
ferred to Havana from San Domingo in 1895
On the l1th OF January last, COouen in the
presence of the Archbishop and a number OF
clVl ofhclalS, as we'll as the COnsuls of the
foreign Governments at San Domingo,
opened casket. believed by the local au-
thorllies to contain the remains of Columbus
This had been sealed up at the time the
vault containing the remains was discovered
in 1877. COonen photographed all the in
scrlptlonS with great care. They are found
to differ very considerably from the repre-
sentatons previously published, and, in the
opinion OF the explorer, are incOntestably
genuine. The situat on of the vault indi-
Gated that lt was constructed before that
which contained the remains taken to
Havana. The remains of Columbus were
taken from Spain to San Domingo about
154l, whereas the remains If his son and
grandson were not transported till the be-
ginning OF the seventeenth century.
1t seems improbable that the leaden box
containing the remains of Columbus would
have no mark by which it could be identi-
fied as was tie case with the box taken to
Havana in 1895. The box discovered in the
vault opened in 1877 contains five inscrip-
tions, and CO0nen believes that the charge
of fraud brought by the Spanish officials
against the authorities of San Domingo is
unfounded. He says the inscriptions them
selves. when carefully studied, show that
they are old, and that the processes of OK
idiZation, which have gone on since they
were made, preclude the possibility of their
being modern. In conclusion, he thinks
the proof should be regarded as complete
that the remains Of Columbus are still at
San Domingo.

BUILDING EXPERIMENT.
A Twelve-story Steel or Iron and Glas;
Structure.

A Twelve-stoIy Steel or Iron ana Glass
Structure.
NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The Telegram an
nOunces this afternoon the forthcoming
erection of a remarkable building on Will
lam street. 1t will be an entirely fire. proof
structure, twelve stories in height. and COM
posed wholly of steel or iron and glass.
From the outside IL will look like a stlpen-
dous box of crystal. Steel pillars will take
the place of walls, leaving all intermediate
space for windows so the sunlight Will pene-
tTate the deepest Tecesses of the interior,
and even during cloudy weather no artltl-
cial illumination will be necessary This
gliItering edifice, massive and mountainous,
and yet so constructed that no space will be
wasted in the thickness Of pyramidal walls,
will have frontage Of abOut two hundred
feet or Williams street, and be occupied,
not by Offices. but bv manufacturing inter-
ests. Lower New York has now no such
building, where the vibration of machinery
can have no effect upon its stability. This
new departure was conceived In conse-
quence of the deadly disaster in Park place
last summer when sxtY-fve persons were
crushed and burned alive. The building will
be almost earthquake proof. From the i'll
vestOrs' standpoint a twelve-stOry manu-
featuring building will be an experiment,
although there is not reasonable doubt of
a fair percentage of profit The average
downtown Office building returns net in
come of per cent on the market value of
the land aud building.

Special 10 THE MORNING CALr..

MONTEREY (Mexico). Dec. 31.-News was
received here late last night that General
Lorenzo Garcia, in command of the troops
in the field in the northern part of Mexico,
with headquarters at Mier was murdered
by his command, and the entire force,
immediate command, has gone over to the
revolutIonists, crossing over into Texas in
body at point between Roma and Car
rizo. The private soldiers in the Mexican
army are nearly all convicted criminals
who. instead of being given a term in
prison, are sentenced to serve with the
military. They are desperate characters
and nearly all secret sympathizers in revo-
lutionary movements. General Garcia was
enc of the most prominent and efficient
officers in the Mexican army and his death
at the present time is serious blow to the
Government
Governor Relics has been in constant tele-
graphic communication with President DiaZ
all day but the nature of the dispatches is
not known. Governor Reies, the State of
Nuevo Leon and the military authorities
here are much disturbed over the situation
on the frontier. The movement of troops
through here. from the lower part Of the re-
public during the past five days. has been
very great, and the transportation facilities
Of the Mexican National Railroad have been
insufficient to accommodate the heavy de-
mand made upon it by the Government.
The garrison here has rushed all its avail
able troops TO Nuevo Laredo. from which
place they are distributed along the right
bank of the Rio Grande.

REPORTS DIsCREDITED.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Minister Romero
said this morning that he had heard moth
ing, except from the newspapers, about the
assassination of General Garcia and the de-
sertion Of his tro0Ds to the revolutionists.
He did not credit the story, but army officers
familiar with the character of the Mexican
soldiers on the frontier are more inclined to
accent il as probably true.
Officials at the War Department are
watching the situation on the Rio Grande
with deep concern, but are without news
from General Stanley this morning. They
are apprehensiye that Captain B0urke's
the revointionists, but they feel confident
that officer will conduct himself with all
necessary prudence, and that he will soon
be re-enforced.

a Deadly Explosive.

LONDON, Dec. 31.-A Munich correspond
ent telegraphs that he learns from AN officer
of high rank that the new German artillery
is possessed Of an element of appalling eff
fectiveneSs in the new bursting powder. In
the war with France the best record made
by the shells then in use was to cover With
splinters an area of forty or fifty PAGES.
There were seldom more than sever or eight
persons wounded by tile bursting of Shell

a large area where it falls its spliEters

of the fragments Will be large enough to

In an experiment an enormous target was
riddled with thousands Of holes by the
bursting of shell. Four shells were suffi-
cient to sink an obsolete ironClad used as a
target at Kiel. The informant expressed
belief that one battery, if the range were

THE BARNABY CASE.
Closing Arguments in the Trial of DR.. Graves
for Murder

Icr MuTuST
DENVER, Dec. 31-Judge Belford to-day
resumed his argument for the prosecution.
II will read some of DR.. Graves letters to
show you how corrupt he was and how
utterly helpless this woman. with her I'M
mense fortune, had been. This letter is
dated July Sth and addressed to Miss Han
ley. He fastened upon Mrs. Barnaby spy.
The letter Is addressed to Miss Hanley, not
to Barnaby, and contained an inclosure for
Mrs. Barnaby. 1t is registered to Miss
Hanley. Was there some secret instruction
in it? Why register this letterP The whole
conduct of this man seems snake-llke. III is
registered t. Miss Hanley to save you the
trouble of postoffice receipts he SAYS.
Why, if he did not wish to bother her with
postoffice receipts, did he register the let
ters? He says he should prefer her TO pay
Bennett as little as possible in order tnat
he might pay him by check. DO
you remember the child like question
Mrs. Barnaby asked Worrell Jr when
he was driving her about the city when
she was thinking Of investing here?
Can | have the power of attorney to sign
my own checks? Think of this. gentle
men. They point out Barnaby as wretch,
and before the dew is cod on his brow
Graves and Ballou are plotting to divide
600 between them." Continuing his ar
gument Judge Belford said that the first
will made by Mrs. Barnaby was drawn up by
Colonel Ballou two weeks before a cOmprO-
mise was effected on Barnaby's will, In
this document Doctor Graves was be-
queathed Sc. 900, and Judge Belford said he
believed Ballou and Graves forced Mrs.
BaTnaby to make this will before they
would attempt to break Barnaby's will.
Judge FuTman. counsel for the defense,
then began his speech. He made a brilliant
argument, but failed to touch upon many
vital points made by the prosecution against
Graves. At the conclusion OF his speech the
court adjourned until Saturday, when Dis
triet Attorney Stevens will make his last
speech for the prosecution, and it is the In
tentOD Of both sides to allow the jury TO re-

CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-A short time ago the
Chicago World Company, with a capital
stock of 100000, was incorporated under
the laws of this State. An evening journal
says Joseph Pulitzer, proprietor of the
New York World. is back of the enterprise
and adds the following: Pultzer's agents
have been in this city for several weeks ne
gotiating for the purchase of site befitting
this latest great newspaper venture and the
requirement of requisite plant NegOtla-
tioDs were opened with the proprietor of a
Democratic daily. but were not closed,
owing to the fact that he persistently raised
the price just when the deal was about to
be closed. As a natural consequence all
negotiations were dropped, and the result
will be that Pulitzer will essay in Chicago a
repetition of his success in the New York
newspaper business.

A Rumor Denied.

MONTREAL. Dec. 31.-There was consid-
cradle agitation in Catholic circles here
over the report that the Pope had been
assassinated. The rumor was traced TO the
House of the Jesuits and Father DrummOnd
appealed TO. He admitted having heard it
from an intimate friend, who would have
no motive for deception. The telegraph
and the newspaper offices were besieged by
anxious inquirers, and apparent credit for
the rumOr was received in two or three
quarters. 1t is not known how the report
originated. Father Drummond has since
received offilial denial of the story.
