and sacred relics of Spanish rule, tc
Havana, where they have since re-.
mained. As matter OF fact historians
are now agreed that the bones which
the Spaniards conveyed to their only
remaining possessions in the Western
Hemisphere were not those of the great
navigator, but of his son, Diego Col
umbus, former Governor General Of
Santo Domingo, who was buried in
the samc sepulchre with his father.
The certainty that the Spaniards had
made blunder in removing the body
was established through O very curious
circumstance.
just before his death, Columbus,
greatly aggrieved by the injustice and
cruelty with which he had been treat
ed by the people for whom he had
done so much, requested that the
chains in which he had been brought
back prisoner from his last voyage
to the West Indies, and which he al
ways kept In his room as q memento
of Spanish gratitude, might be buried
in the coffin with him. His request
was scrupulously d. regarded by the
members of his family, and without
the knowledge Of the Spanish officers
these relics were placed in his coffin
before it wac finally sealed.
A Frenchman who CHANGED upon
some autograph letters written by the
explorer found among other interest
ing documents the navigator's will.
He was struck by the strange clause
relating to the shackles, and made in
quiries whether or not any such things
were found when the coffin was re.
moved from the tomb in Santo Do
mingo. As no one remembered to
have heard Of any such thing, an in
vestigstion was set on foot, with the
result that the bones OF Columbus
were found 70 be still peacefully re-
posing in the new French colony. As
Q matter Of course, the Spaniards have
derided the notion that they could by
any possibility have made . mistake,
but subsequent discoveries have only
tended 70 strengthen the idea that the
6paniards had merely given one more

who was q Genoese, seized q pinch Of
the ashes in the chest and placed
them in crystal vial. A ribbon was
attached to the vial, bearing an in.
soription in italian to this effect:
"Ashes OF the immortal Christopher
Columbus, discovered in the Cathedrs
OF San Domingo the 10th Of September,
1877. To the City of Genoa, from
her affectionate sons, Giobatta and
Luigi Csmbiaso."
When the vial arrived at Genoa the
municipality decided to preserve it in
an urn OF bronze. The urn WAS
executed IN 1886 by Pandiani, OF
Milan. 1t is in the style of the seven
teenth century. Four sea horses sus-
tain it at the corners, and graceful de.
signs adorn the frame, which bears on
each side the arms OF Genoa. The
whole Is surmounted by female
figure representing Genoa, the Queen
OF the Mediterranean. The left hand
rests upon an anchor, and with the
right the figure holds aloft the wreath
Of victory.
Pavis received q similar honor, for

New World completed his studies.

Mystery aud secrecy surround the
exhumation in Havana, Cuba, of the
remains of Columbus, and this fact
has given rise to grave rumors, which
appear to have some foundation, as
there has been no attempt at denial
from any source. The removal of the
remains was effected behind the closed
doors OF the Cathedral, which were
guarded by an armed forced. Few of
the authorities were present, the
names of those who we're to attend be-
ing handed to the Chief of Police the
night before in General Blanco's own
handwriting.
No official account of the ceremony
or statement regarding the condition
of the remains has been made public,
but it has leaked out from an authori-
tative source that they are not in the
same condition as when they were
placed in the niche.
When the remains were placed in
the mausoleum q small casket was en-
closed, containing coins, gold and
silver medals, precious stones and
rolls Of parchment, as was then the
custom upon the occasion of burial.
It appears that this casket had been
tampered with and rifed of its con-
tents, and further rumors say that
only portions Of the remains are left.
Gossip and speculation are rife, the
exact truth of which the authorities
make no effort to affirm or contradict.
A quasi-official explanation, however,
is to the effect that secrecy was given
The star. (Reynoldsville, Pa.) 1892-1946, 1898-10-19

to the ceremony because q cable dis
patch received reported that General
Toral had been murdered in Madrid
the day before, and fears were enter
tanned THAT disorders might occur il
the public and military came together
in great numbers.

60 to the length Of saying that the
whole ceremony was a farce, the

and their Government going through
the pantomime in order to make the
public believe that the remains, which
really are left there, were shipped to
Spain.

The bones were in a plain stone vault
made of marble, placed to the right
of and at the foot of the main altar.
The stone vault surmounted by bust

bus, the Spaniards say, were taken to
Havana in 1875 and placed in grave
dug under the spot where the vault
now stands. In 1922 the Spaniards
in Cuba erected the present tomb aud
placed beneath the bust of Columbus
the following inscription:
o, grand Columbusl
In this urn enshrined
A thousand centuries
Thy bones shall guard
thousand ages keep thine image fresh,
In token OF our nations gratitude.
When the supposed bones of Colum-
bus were removed from Santo DOM
lingo, the ceremony was made the oc-
casion for display of Spanish gran.
deur such as had never before been
seen in the Western Hemisphere.
1t is easy to concede that the lead
chest found at San Domingo was not
the one in which the bones of the
Admiral were taken to San Domingo,
for it is generally admitted that the
name America, which appeared on the
oasket, was used before 1909, and the
Gothic characters in the interior of the
chest were not common until the
seventeenth century.
The circumstance that the chest
found at San Domingo is small, also
| confirms the suspicion that it was
| made to contain half skeleton. That
sent to Havana, although of the same
length and depth was wider, perhaps
to give more room to the hip bones
and the skull, besides the other bones
corresponding to those found at San
Domingo.
The San Domingo chest contained
| some fragments of lead which bear the
unmistakable signs of age. This sug-
gests the probability that the chest
| was cast from an older one.
After q distinguished career in Eu-
rope and Asia, Mgr. Roccococchia, the
discoverer Of the remains of Columbus
at San Domingo, was made Bishop at
Orope, Vicar of San Domingo, and
delegate to Hayti and Venezuela in
1874. The leaden chest was found on
September 10, 1877. The work in the
cathedral had just begun when hid
den tomb was discovered at the left
of the altar. A leaden chest was
found. It contained the remains of
Don Pietro Colombo, the discoverer's
grandson.
The chest containing the bones Of
Columbus was at the right of the first.

Tn the Mission some of the mechanics and trades people who report for work at o'clock took advantage of the fact that the booths were opened before o'clock and many of them went to the polls and voted while their wives were preparing breakfast At no time was there any delay in the booths. It was but matter of a few seconds work to stamp and fold the ballot and see it deposited in the bal lot box. There was a lull in the voting after 6:30 o'clock and the election officers had nothing to do but kill time for the next hour. Then came another small rush. do not go to their offices until o'clock were surprised when they reached their booths and learned that an average or about 150 votes had been cast in each polling place before they had thought Of geeting out of bed. After the second contingent of voters was disposed of there was another quiet spell. Some of the booths did not average ten votes an hour from then on until noontime. Then many who had neglected to vote in the morn> ing stopped in al the booths on their way home to lunch.
 There was but little soliciting of votes either for or against the charter around the booths The average voter had made up his mind before leaving home just how he intended voting and he did not care to listen to any further arguments. The charter champions had representatives around the polling places and so did those who were opposed to 1t. It IS sale 10 say that neither side changed many votes.

The Downtown Districts.

Tn the downtown precincts the electior. was as peaceful and quiet as a holiday The vote was exceedingly light in every precinct and the majority of ballots cast were deposited during the early morning hours. By noon fully three-fourths of the vote had been polled.
 The only disturbance of consequence took place in the booth of the Fifteenth Precinct of the Thirtieth Assembly Dis trict. During the afternoon gang of q half-doZen toughs, among whom were several eX-convictS. entered the booth and announced their intention of running things to suit themselves.
 Officer. Sandman, who was on duty, warned the gang not to attempt to carry out their threat. but they only laughed al the officer and proceeded to take charge of the ballot-box. Sergeant Brophy happened along just at that in- sisting the hoodlums. Johnny" Smith, who makes his headquarters at Sixth and Harrison streets and is well known to the police, was the ringleader, and headed vicious attack on the officers. They were compelled to handle him pretty se- His friends attempted to rescue him, but were speedily put to flight, and Smith was locked up on charges of disturbing the peace and battery.
 When the polls opened there was pro- test against the election officers of the Eighth Precinct of the Twenty ninth Dis trict, most of whom were employees of the city. They closed the booth and started out to find substitutes one returning with his father, another with his brother and others pressing friends into service, and these self-constituted officers served throughout the day.
 Aside from these affairs everything passed off as quietly as could be expected.

 Realizing that the old man meant busi- ness, no further objection was made to him depositing his ballot. AS he left the booth he turned around and laughingy remarked that he was on to his job, and did not propose to be "bunkoed out Of his vote''

 The case of the prisoner was concluded yesterday noon and at p. m. the jury was charged and retired to deliberate on a verdict. Ten minutes later 1t returned and filed a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree against the prisoner, but fixed the penalty at life imprisonment
 Lee Fat was lucky to escape the gall lows. He was caught red-handed at the time of the murder. His attorneys, B. L. Mckinley, B. B. Harrington and D. c. B. Mccarthy, put up a strong fight for their client, however, and saved his neck The convict will probably be sentenced a week from Saturday.
