Columbus Remains.

Offer of President Henreaux, of
San Domingo, to Hypothecste
or Sell Them to the United Sta
tes for 100000.
Washington, Oct. 10.-A some
what startling story is told by one
of the Worlds Fair commission
ers, who during a recent visit to
the State Department learned
that the remains of Christopher
Columbus were offered to the IN
tied States as security of a loan
100000 at 6 per cent interest.
The offer had been recently made
with due formalfty by President
Ulysses Henreaux, of San Domin-
go.
President Henreaux's thrift has
been exemplitied in several nego-
tiations with the authorities at
Washington, but it was not until
the proposition was made to hyp-
othecate these sacred relics of the
great navigator for a cash consi-
Iteration that the full extent of
his thrift was appreciated.
Although the proposition was
that the remains should be taken
in security for the loan, it is the
general belief of the officials here
that this was merely a delicate
way of proposing an absolute sale.
This view was strengthened by
the fact that no time was mention
ed for the payment of the loan.
1t was simply that the 100000
should be placed in the hands of
President Henreaux; that he in
turn should have the relics taken
from their resting place, boxed
and shipped, and that the interest
on 100000 thereafter be regular
ly paid by him. The proposition
was rejected, as the department
authorities in Washington have
no right to make purchases of re-
lies no matter how valuable they
may bet. y.

often throw away their crops.
Each eager to get the first advan-
tage, all press like a flock of sheep
over the precipice or into the
VOLTS den. 1t is worth the while
of every man to consider rs to the
money value of his crop. 1t is
needless to expect "the uttermost
farthing," but certainly the crea-
tor of the wealth of a country has
the right to and ought to insist on
q fairly approximative equivalent
in hard cash for work labor. At
the present moment We have rice
in mind AID we call attention to
the utterance of the well-known
authorities, Messrs. Dan Talmage's
Sons, they say: THE condition
of the rice market is simply de-
plorable; while there is a large
crop, larger than in any previous
year, it is going to be frittered
away at very much less than its
real worth. This is due to the
fact that planters do not know of
or care to get its value. There is
no cooperation and the principle
maintained-"every man for him.
self and the devil for the hind
most" Crops are pushed forward
and the chief anxiety of every
planter is to lie the first man
slaughtered. As a result there is
a regular Observation-Disclosures
and what we fear is humiliation
1T the best interests of the crop.
We say this as unless there be a
halt called, prices are going below
the cost Of production and the
next year will see a partial and
probably large abandonment of
the culture. There ought to be
sober second thought" INDUCED
in an ascertainment of value and
as to the outlook for a favorable
disposition of the crop at such or
some prices reasonably approx
mate. Here are facts:
1.-The rice crop is not suffi-
cient to meet the requirements of
the United States.
2-Its value if properly man.
aged is. therefore, fully equal that
of foreign rice, which each year
has to be imported to meet def
ciencies.
3-FOreign of the lowest grade
costs to import over 4c per Id.
Throwing aside that our home
rice is worth much more. we say:
Domestic rice of good character
should sell at not less than $3.50
to 1915 per bbl., on plantation
and at anything below such Nets
less than real intrinsic worth.
VIC give a range of figures as some
plantations are more remote from
milling centres and, therefore,
costs of transportation are greater.
The practical question is. How
can this be realized? and the
answer by every man determin-
ing to hold his crop unless he can
get fair return in dollars and
cents" We say to every planter
