The admiral stayed only a few min

to the navy department, where. with
cut any preliminarjes, he reported d.
rectly to Acting Secretary Allen. The
latter accompanied him over to the
white oouse, reaching there at 1880.
The president gave him most cordial
reception. The president thanked the
admiral, as he had Admiral Sampson.
for the success of that memorable en-
gagement of July 3, and took occasion
to say that it was that battle which

As it had rested in the absolutely dry vault upon two bricks, it proved to beina state of fair preservation. but dull in color and covered by a coating of oxide, un- mistakable indications of old age. The closed box was nine inches high, six teen and three-Quarters inches long and eight and one-half inches wide. The hinged and overlapping cover had on it's top an inscription, which was interpreted to mean ''Descu- bridor de la America, primero Almi rante" that is, "Discoverer of America, first admiral" On the left side, and also on the front side, of the box the letter c was engraved and on the right side the letter A. They are believed to be the initials of the words Chris tobal Colon, almirante."
 After opening the hinged lid on the inside of it another inscription ap- peared, which was interpreted to mean "Illustre V esclarecido varon, Don Cristobal Colon"-"Illustrious and famous man, Don Christopher Colum bus"
 An examination of the contents of the box revealed human bones, with the exception of a few parts reduced to dust. Later, during more careful ex- animation of the bones, among the mold and dust a bullet of lead, two small iron screws and a littls silver plate were found. The screws and corresponding holes in the silver plate, as we'll as in the back of the case proved that in former times the silver plate had been affixed inside of the case, but had become loosened there

 from. The little plate contained in scriptions on both sides.
 Without doubt both inscriptions were intended to give the same idea. but it seems the author, not satisfied with the two meager first abbreyiations, tried to give in the second inscription a fuller expression of his meaning, as if he would take care that the abbreviations might be better understood. The mean ing of the abbreviations is as follows: Ultima parte de los restos del pri- nero Almirante Cristobal Colon Des- cubridor"-"Last part of the remains of Christopher Columbus, Discoverer.
 
 The news of the important discov- cry, which seemed to indicate that the remains removed in 1795 to Havana were not those of Christopher Colum- undisturbed, created a great sensation in the scientific world. especially when Spain, finding that it's claim to the true relics of Columbus was endangered. ac- cused the Archbishop, Cocchia, and the other dignitaries of the cathedral at San Domingo of being the authors and accomplices of a pious fraud
 Spain stoutly denied that any mis- take could have been made in 1795 when Lieutenant General Aristazabal undertook to remove the remains of Columbus. The Archbishop of San Domingo, of course, rejected the ac- cusation of fraud with great heat, and firmly maintained that a mistake had been made by Aristazabal, and that only those remains newly discovered were those of Christopher Columbus,

in case any European power should at tack America, by any unforeseen result of her war with Spain, We, in this possibility, should eSpouse her cause and assist her in enforcing her policy. But this possibility Is remote. l can think of no conceivable instance at all likely to occur save the improbable one that France might regard this as fla yorable opportunity to seize portions of Morocco (which she has long cOveted), but even then I doubt if the United States would regard it seriously enough to make it a casus belli.
 The other possibility for formal Anglo American alliance, in due course of time, is a far more interesting one on which to speculate. The vital re- lations between the two great English speaking peoples are those Of thought and moral purpose. Our intellectual, our religious life are one. Ideas, per haps I may say also ideals, are our common tie. Our literature Is com mon bond Now, as action always fol- lows ideas undevia tingly, the fact of orir mutual literary and ethical ideas conduces so inevitably to common ac- tion that this may be taken for granted in the future, wholly without any for nal declarations E It is one of those trends of life that follow great natural laws
 The precipitation of some great moral question might create and fuse formal declaration of alliance at once-such a question, for instance, as that of the Armenian atrocities which should vi- tally touch the religious feeling of both peoples. It is from the close relations of moral sentiments rather than from any consideration of political advan- tages that the Anglo-American alliance may at last be expected to come

able between the two great English speaking countries. l do not unoer- value the deep significance of the pres ent entente cordiale between our two countries, but any future alliance pe- tween Great Britain ana the Ohlleu States would probably have to De pre- ceded by an agreement or some prac- tical action on the part of the former euaranteeing the fair treatment or Ire land. and any new cause or Ill IeeHns between England and Ireland would De the immediate cause of break In this Anglo-American alliance
 Of course many of your people ana mine too. for that matter, would deny this. but I hold their view to be par tial one. I do not mean to say that America Is morally or practically pledged to the cause Of Irish freedom, but I do believe from long and care ful study of conditions and sentiment : in America that there is a strong moral opinion back of Americas sympathy for the Irish cause, and that this attl- tude will continue
 There is no reason to doubt, however, that the international relations between Great Britain and the United States may continually grow closer and more friendly. There is no probability that the United States has any idea Of ever interfering with our possession of Can ada. and Lord Salisbury's extraordi- nary and breathless change of front re- garding the Venezuela question com pelled us to accept henceforth the lead ership of the United States in all poli- cies relating to America. Nor is this position likely to change. The Clayton Bulwer treaty is dead, you know.
 The Anglo-American alliance may pos sibly be the outcome of either one of two things. The most obvious is that,

Meantime the remains of the great admiral were deposited at the Chartu- sian Monastery at Seyilla. When Diego, the son of Columbus, died, in 1526, his remains were also deposited there, to be transferred later to San Domingo. Elm peror Charles V had granted permission that the great chapel of the cathedral at San Domingo be used as sepulture of the Columbus family.
 At what time the removal of the ashes of the great admiral and his son took place We don't know. As the ca thedral at San Domingo was conse- crated in 1541 it may be that the trans ference occurred in the same year. We know that in 1549 the first Archbishop of San Domingo wrote: "The tomb of Don Cristobal Colon, which contains his

TOO HEAVY A TAX BURDEN.
Mayors Veto of Alderman Krous-
kOff's Sidewalk Ordinance.

Mayor Meldrim's veto message on Al
derman Krouskofrs ordinance requiring
that the sidewalks in certain territory
south of Anderson street be paved within
the next four months. was submitted to
Council last night. This is the Mayors
second veto during his administration.
However strong my desire to afford
good sidewalks throughout the city" the
Mayor said In his veto, "in view of the
sparsely populated character of the terri
tory south of Anderson street, together
with the fact the country Is now in a
state of war and many people deprived OF
their incomes 1 am satisfied that an ordi-
nance requiring this vast territory to be
paved within the next four months will
work great hardship. 1 suggest to the
board the propriety of laying sidewalks by
sections, OF of laying them on certain
main streets. In this way all parts Of the
city can be reached by good sidewalks,
and the laying of the sidewalks in other
parts of the city where at present there
is no urgent necessity for them, can be
avoided"
The Mayor further said he did not wish
the veto to be understood as antagonists
to the policy of the city in extending
streets through the southern section. He
does not think it wise at this time, how
ever, TO lay heavy burdens on the people
of a part of the city which Is not thickly
populated. The Mayor threw out a hint
in the latter part Of the veto to the effect
that IL is his belief that an ordinance
could be framed less comprehensive and
rigorous, which could accomplish the de-
sired result.
As soon as the veto was read Alderman
Krouskoff expressed his regret that the
Mayor had seen fit 10 return the ordinance
with his disapproval, since 1t was mat
ter In which every citizen in the southern
section was vitality interested. There has
been no system requiring a uni
form sidewalk, he said, and for
this reason the committee had considered
the ordinance very carefully before intro
ducing IT, He said he knew the Mayor had
at one time approved the idea of a uni
form pavement. Alderman Krouskoff said,
however, he would introduce another or
dinance later, providing for the same kind
of side walks, but extending the time in
which they are TO be put down. He did not
want to he held in the light of introducing
an ordinance which was carelessly drawn,
and for that reason had to be vetoed. The
ordinance he will next draw will probably
take only parts of Bull and Anderson
streets, and will give ample time in which
TO lay the pavement. Such an ordinance
will probably be approved by the Mayor.
