DR.. Fuhrsr, archaeological surveyor

carry the origin Of Buddhism much
farther back than the accepted date in
the nth century before Christ, says
the Edinburgh Scotsman. In the vii
lass Of Nlliva. in swamps within the
borders Of the state Of Nepal, he found
IN Asoka pillar. surrounded for half
. mile by vast brick ruins Of monas-
tsries and Of still magnificent domed
tomb Of Konsgamana. The portion Of
the pillar which Is still erect has an
inscription establishing the fact that
the Buddha commemorated is the same
~ the konagamana of the Buddhists
Of Ceylon. who was the twenty-third
mythical predecessor Of the historical
Buddha. The Napalese speak of the
pillar as the smoking pipe of Bhima

MORE ABOUT MARY.

Mary had little lamb,
One very small-sized slice,
"As usual" she thought. 81 am
Obliged TO order twice.
Then to the walter did she bawl:
''Here, sir, some more of thatl
! feel thar l could eat 1t all,
Ills very nice and fat"
oh, Mary. dear. how can you eat
That tender little sheep?
An act to cause all lambs to bleat,
And make the angels weep.
When you recall your childhood pet,
Do you not fear Its ghost
May reappear to haunt you yet
For ealing lamb on toast?

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 2s.-I,feu-
tenant Jose Felix Rios, q special mes
senger from the Cuban Government to the
Junta In this city. arrived here last night
on the Clyde line steamer Algonquin from
Jacksonville. This afternoon he told a
startling story in the headquarters of the
Cubans In this city which would go TO
show almost beyond doubt that battle
which took place in the Rubi Hills In
october last, and in which 1000 Spanish
soldiers are said to have been killed. had
been construed into an engagement with
Weyler's troops in the same territory
about a week ago.
The details of the October battle are
strikingly similar to tn, details of the
story Of Weyler's alleged engagement
which was attributed to Lieutenant Rios,
although he now denies that he ever gave
out such an interview. He declares in.
stead that what he said about the alleged
engagement with Weyler was simply COM

but she was quarantined and we were
safe. From Nassau, after some delay, we
went to Jacksonville thence to this city,"
Some shrewd questioning at this point
led lieutenant Rios off the subject of his
story and into the details OF fight that
he said occurred IN the Rubi Hills. lust

troops is said to have taken place. He
declared that he knew it to be an absolute

Maceo is said TO have engaged a few
weeks ago, came suddenly upon General
Maceo, with 5000 Cuban patriots behind
him. As usual the Cubans got to work

St Louis, June 1.-THE vice presidential

ed development Of a heated wire corre-
spondence between Plat and other Repub-

The import OF the message was TO gain

to have me demonstrate, aye. and TO

That Mr.. Plat has forsaken all hope In
the presidential boom OF Mr.. Morton is
perfectly apparent When asked this az
ternoon II he had any hopes he said terse-
ly: Mr.. Morton's name will be present

There was 4 rumor current that the

name OF Gen. BENJAMIN F. Tracey for vice
president. and that the anti-organization
people would present the name OF Cor
