AN ANCIENT MAP OF PA1Esr1NE
Tho Mosaic Discovered by Workmen In the
Ruins or an Ancient Church.


WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.-The Rev. DR.. Hyvernat
Of the Catholic University has called attention
to the recent discovery Of an ancient map at
Madaba, hamlet in Palestine beyond the
Jordan. In clearing away the ruins of very
ancient church to mako room for n new struc-
ture the workmen discovered O mosaic pave
ment In which was reproduced map of Pales-
tine. Some parts of the mosaic are wanting,
but the northern and southern extremities are
intact, and show that the map included that
part OF Palestine which lies between Zebulou to
the tn and tho delta of the Nile to the south.
It is impossible to say what were the limits of
the map from east to west; very likely 1t ex.
tended from the desert TO the sea.
At first sight one might be tempted to view
this mosaic map as an artistic execution of the
Ohomasticon Of Eusebius. 1t seems almost Ger.
tain that there Is some literary relationship be
tween them: yet they are quito independent.
The mosaic was conceived on q much larger
scale than the Onomasticon. Though its Bib
lical character appears evident from the many
Scrptural citations relative TO the twelve tribes
nevertheless 1t exceeds the Biblical framework.
at least as conceived by Eusebius: thus. in
Egypt. 1t reproduces localities that do not fig
ure In the Bible.
1t Is a map of contemporaneous geography.
the methods OF the time. Tho identitcations
made by the author OF the mosaic may be false.
but there Is no reason 10 suspect that he put
anything on his map which did not exist in his
time. This Is evident from the extreme care
which he seems to have taken 70 be faithful to
the facts The ancient namo of place is never
given without the contemporary name attached.
Often only the contemporary, name appears.
without any attempt to identify IT by
OF any pous, character which might have
been given it, for instance, by placing cross on
| Calvary. or by depicting the baptism Of our
| Saviour. or tho Dead Sea surrounded by fames
On the contrary, the map Is quite realistic. Ono

fish in Its waters. because fsh could not live in

and nature is reproduced as faithfully as pos

| Whatever may be said concerning some slight
| details, the objective value of the map Is con-
siderable. Its maker endeavored sincerely to
| represent things as they existed in his day. But
| that date IL Is difficult TO determine exactly.
Father Cleophas, librarian Of the GreeS con.
| vent at Jerusalem. who examined 1t, thinks that
It dates back to the beginning OF the fifth cen.
tury. He reported its discovery to the Academy
OF Inscriptions and Belles.Lettres at Paris at its

| interest to lovers of the Holy Land and to stu.

A certain luRn4of Arm Of thi6 city
more than two years ago Shipped to
the sultan of Turkey several Thousand
dollars' worth Of its most valuable
goods. The order included mahogany
and ebony logs Of unusual size and OF
the finest colorinG and general QUALIFY
that could DO obtained. The payment
or rather tho promise TO Peg, WAN ir
the shape OF . draft on the sultan, the
money TO be torthcoming upon the
arrival Of the logs at Constantinople
Naturally the American firm regarded
the imperial treasury of Turkey as
good for the pri6a Of shipment OF
lumber.
In due time tho mahogany and the
ebony reached the Golden Horn and the
Mediterranean Steamship company
sent in to the shippers gentle remind
er that the settlement Of freight
charges was in order. But meanwhile
nothing had been heard from the sui
tan or his agents and the New York
lumber dealers did not fancy being
held responsible for charges upon
goods which were not yet paid for.
Cable dispatches and letters were sent
to the porte, but the "Sick Man of Eu.
rope was apparently too busy attend
ing to his Armenian subjects to be able
to look after such trides as settling
with American creditors. No satisfac
tory response OF any sort could be oh
tanned.
Then the lumber firm made appIica.
ton 10 Mavroyeni Boy, at that time
the Turkish minister at Washington.
He promised to see that his sovereign
paid the bill without further delay,
and the hopes of the dealers were again
raised. But not even Mavroyeni Bey
was able to open the sultan's purse
strings. The Armenian question still
absorbed his attention. Mavroyeni
Bey .I-as recalled without having az
compl:shed this bit Of work. The firm
had G lawyer working on the case, but
had for months practically abandoned
all idea of getting the money.
On the last day Of October, things
took most unexpected and Joy full
turn. Influenced afar off, it may be,
by the prevailing American sentiment
in favor OF paying ones debts hon
estly, about noon on that day word was
sent to the firm that the draft had been
paid. Since then the actual money
has been received.
The moral of the transaction would
seem to be that. if you have business
dealings with Abdul Hamid II, you
must be content to wait rwiila for
your money, he being slo,y debtor,
but one who will come around at last
if you give him plenty Of time.-N. Y.

Republican BLUNDE xs.

It is "on the bills" as the phrase
goes, that the Republican party is to
restore prosperity. Mr.. Mckinley,
indeed, was announced as the ad-
vance agent Of prosperity, and it was
underEood in business circles tlieS
the mere event of his election would
go far to produce the desired result.
We have already seen how futile and
foolish such hopes were. Three
months have now passed, and the
conditions that make against pros
perity have grown steadily worse in.
stead Of better, and it is now known
that the Republicans will have to
take active measures to bring about
a condition that was expected to fol-
low hard upon the heels or the an
nouncement of the Republican
victory.
But when we look at the republican
party itself to find out what prepare
tons it is making to bring about tho
promised result, we perceive nothing
substantial on which human expecta-
Gon may seize. On the contrary, we
see signs of Generalization and
factional differences that hold out
not the smallest hope Of relief to the
country at large.
One OF the best known OF Republi-
can senators recently said to be Mr..
Bowen, the correspondent of the New
York World: "Major Mckinley was
to be the advance agent Of prosperity
We hoped. AS appearances are now,
we fear he may be the harbinger of
defeat" To this Mr.: Bowen adds
that senators and representatives in
discussing the prospects Of the lie
Coming administration 4utter words
which would electric, the country If
they could be printed and their source
revealed"
These men speak ~of the colossal
blunder that has been made in Ohio
and declare that if Mr.. Hanna makes
d fight for the legislature the Demo-
Gratis will carry the state. The quarrel
in Ohio is larger and more important
than the newspapers have led the
public to believe. Then there il
the SheIman-Alger feud. And on
top Of this is the disgust and diemay
produced by tho declarations of
Lyman Gage that the bullion silver
should be sold for what it will fetch
and the greenbacks aud treasury
notes retired.
Senator Allison has declared openly
that measures embodyipg these views
could not pass the senate or house.
Another Republican senator declares
that an attempt to carry out the Gage
plan would mean ruin to the Repub-
can party # enacted into law; that
oven the discussion Of the proposition
would be in the nature of agitation,
producing uncertainty, and that IL
prices continue to show a falling
tendency the opposition to the Re-
publican party will elect q great
majority in the house two years from
now and sweep the party off the earth
in l900.-Atlanta Constitution.
