The Loves Of ChristOpher Column
bus.

AMONG the earliest things learned
at school is that "in 1892 Columbus
sailed DER the ocean blue" and dis
covered America; and every rem
iniscence of the event and OF the
great discoverer is being revived
this quadri-centennial year. But
with it all we have heard compar-
atively little about Mrs. Christopher
Columbus, the faithful wife who in
spired and encouraged Columbus
through all his trials and disappoint-
ments and helped him to his life's
great work. In DEMoREsr's FAMILY
MAGAZINE for July there is an espec-
tally fine article, "The Loves of
Christopher Columbus" which gives
an interesting account of this phase
of the life of the great discoverer,
the numerous illustrations including
copies of very rare old portraits,
among them the most authetic one
of Columbus himself. Mrs. Helen
Campbell contributes che Of her
realistic papers, "Child Life in the
Sums of New York." which is en-
bellished with numerous character
istic pictures. "How to Row with
out a Teacher" is especially apropos !;
and with the plain directions, and
about a score of pictures to look at
besides, one would not be very apt
who could not learn to manage a
boat in a very short time. Every
lover of his country will be inter-
ested in the article on "The Amer
lean Flag" which, besides the his
torical information about our "star-
spangled banner gives the fullest
directions for making one at home,
which will reduce considerably the
cost of it. In addition, there are ex-
cellent stories by well-known writ
ers. The numerous departments are
particularly interesting and there
are nearly 200 pictures, including a
full-page oil picture, Luscious
Fruits" which is brilliant and
artistic piece of coloring. The sub
scription price of the magazine is
only 81 year; single copies, 20 cts.

tions of food and grain to sufferers In
Russia at cost not to exceed 800, 900
was read.
There was much discussion over the
proper reference, several members, in
cluding Mr.. Kilgore of Texas, claiming
such measure was clearly unconstitu-
tional. MIR. Oates stated that para.
doxical as it may seem the best opinion
is that this government may vote money
for sufferers in another country, but
cannot vote money for the relief of it's
own people.
MIR. Raines, of New York, asked Mr..
Kilgore who discovered that congress
has not the authority to appropriate
money for the relief of the suffering
people of Texas. Was it not the late
president of the United States? (Cleve-
land) That discovery has not been pat
ented, Mr.. Speaker, and congress- is
ready to vote upon the question put 70 it.

ST.. PAUL, Jan. f--Governor Merriam
has received a cablegram from Charles
Emery Smith, minister to Russia, which
is sufficient to show that there ia wide
spread suffering in Russia which ought
to be relieved. The interview with
Colonel d'Arnaud, which was sent out
from Washington Dec. 20, in which that
gentleman stated that the Russian peas
ants are not in need of help, seriously
checked the Russian relief movement.
The colonel's remarks have been contra
dicted by Minister Gregar, the Russian
charge daffaires, and now our minister
to Russia sends information which is so
definite that it should set at rest the
rumors which have been current to the
effect that relief was not needed.
On Dec. 2S, Governor Merriam, wish
ing TO find out the exact condition Of
affairs in Russia, sent csblegram to
Charles Emery Smith, minister plenipo-
tentiary and envoy extraordinary at ST.
Petersburg, Russia, asking tor definite
information as to the status of the peo-
pie, and whether aid was needed and
acceptable.
In reply the following cablegram was
received

lTURBlDE INTERVIEWED.
The Prince Denies, Any knowledge OF
the Mexican Revolution.

the Mexican Revolution.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.--Dispatches
from the seat of the CARA revolution
which purported to implicate the Cler-
ical party Of Mexico, and Prince Itur-
bide with fostering tho insurrection, are
the theme of discussion in diplomatic
circles. Prince Iturbide has been in
Washington since last July, having
come to this city from Mexico immedi-
ately after his release from imprison-
melt for insubordination against the
Mexican government. The prince is tho
heir OF Maximillian, and his alleged con-
nsction with the revolutionary party
served to increase the interest in Mex
ican affairs Iturbide was interviewed,
and when asked about his connection
with the Cara party, said:
don't understand YOU"
Being shown copy of the dispatch
he read the story through slowly and
replied:
his is the first time have seen it,"
it trus that You are connected
with the Ga.za revolution?" was asked.
This is the first that have heard Of
this" he replied.
The report is false, them"
- know nothing about it, he said,
shifting in his seat.
Were yoI identified with the Clerical
party when in Mexicof" questioned the
reporter.
81 would rather not talk of these mat
ters.p replied the heir of Maximillian.
"Isit a fact that you are candidate
for the presidency
II prefer not to say anything
about it,
All other questions as to the CARA
revolution and Iturbide's political aspi-
rations met with the same response,
that he did not wish to discuss these
matters.
Have You taken up permanent res
idence in Washington he was asked.
Il have been in the city since last
July. Washington is my home indefi-
nitoly," replied Iturbide.
Throughout the interview the prince
was saffable, bat evidently nervous. 1t
was plainly to be seen that the published
reports agitated him.
Renfero Thinks Not.
Senior Romero, the Mexican minister,
was interviewed at his residence later
in the evening, about the situation in
Mexico.
''Garza's exploits have no political
significance, whatever" he said. eff
there is u strong party backing him
would they not rally to his support at
thistiIse2 JIe has been driven to bay
and is about to be annihilated. As to
the Clerical party, have no doubt that
it would be glad to see the Liberal gov
ernment overthrown, but / do not be-
ieye the CIericals would compromise
themselves by becoming allied with such
an outlaw. do not believe there is any
political meaning in the least in Garza's
raids. He is bold outlaw. That is
all"
