verely criticises the grant recently made

trict allowing him to dredge 100000 yards

minimum value at slo0,0n00o0. 1t says

Remains of Columbus Exhumed.

Havana, Sept. 26-The ex animation of the remains O Columbus took place here to day before General Blanco and his officers. The remains o1 Christopher Columbus, which this morning were removed from their niche in the Cathed ral preparatory to their ship ment 10 Spain, had laid 1T their late resting place since January 19. 1796, when they were brought from Santo Dom ingo. that island having been ceded to France by Spain.
 Since the date mentioned the remains had laid in an open niche i'll tue wall of the presby- tery of the cathedral. a yard and a half above the ground between pit supporting the main arch.
 In 1892 there was pla ced in front of the niche a slab, of doub ,ful artistic taste, repre- senting in relief a bust of the great admiral and bearing this inscription in Spanish:
 "May the remains and image of the great Colnm bus lie a thousand cen turies preserved in this urn and in the remembrance of our natlon."

DIAGNOSING DISEASE.
Medical Mans Experiment to Dis
 cover What Allied His Patient

SOvCi W AdA ALArA His Eal4sUI
 A medical man, far ahead of his pathy and his training, unable accu- rately to diagnose a disease which had for long time baffled him, tried an experiment. Being an expert bac- terlologist, and knowing by sight the infnitesimal atoms that live to de- stroy human life, he put the patient into a Russian bath, allowing him 10 remain until he was drenched with precipitation, and then scraped his skin to secure, if possible, through the exudation a sufficient number of bacllll to enable him to determine the nature of the ailment from which his patient suffered. So many to the square inch meant danger, and by a simple process of mathematical cal culation he soon discovered theenemy that was sapping the strongholds of life. He estimated that millions of bacilli were washed out of the body by those streams of precipitation. Having established this as a fact, he made it his practice to examine all obscure cases in the same way. If the system is overcharged with ba- cilli and the precipitation furnishes courses upon which they float from the body, surely this ought to be one of the most accurate methods of di- agnosing doubtful cases. That the precipitation of human beings is poisonous is an admitted fact. Small animals are readily killed by subcuta- neous injections of precipitation col !ected after violent exercise.

"KING DIAZ" OF MEXICO.
Believed tho Existence of the Govern ment Depended on Order st Any Price

Diaz, courted by all parties but trusting none, had devoted himself to the reorganization of his native state and incidentally made strenu- ous efforts to promote the revival of industry and education by legislative reforms. In 1874 he again turned his attention to national politics and gradually yielded to the conviction that the hope of salvation, if not the very existence of the republic, depend ed upon the chance of enforcing or der at any price. A shameful defec- tion of his former liberal friends at the same time reduced his confidence to that of self-reliance, and before the end of the year he seems to have made up his mind 10 harness the beast that could not be trusted to keep within the pale of law and reason. The Lafayette of his nation had be- come a partisan of absolutism
 All his claims to moderation, to unselfsh liberality, and the abhor- renee of corruption in every form were forfeited in the ensuing strug- gle with interruptions rivals; Por- firio Diaz intrigued for the ruin of his antagonists and spent a fortune in bribes, but he attained his object, and in 1876 was elected president of Mex leo. Then the struggle with the three-headed Cerberus began in earn- est. Diaz turned his first attention to the brigands. A fine on every com munity that had failed to report the existence of highway robbers in it's neighborhood soon set the bushwhack- CTS flying to the shelter of the Sierras, but the government regulators were at their heels, and in the first IS months some 5000 ladrones were hung or shot down like wild beasts.
 The fines were levied by military force with a promptness that made the suborners of brigandage extreme ly unpopular, and within five hours after railway robbery the hue and cry had generally spread for hun dred miles around, and the knights ofthe road could think themselves for tunate if they succeeded in saving their lives, minus their plunder, by instant flight toward the national bor- der.-Felix l.. Oswald, in Chautau- 0uan.

 Men Could Do Better at Home.
 There has been no lack of Jere- miahs preached on the subject of this arctic Pactolus Reports that the claims were all taken, that there had been no placer discoveries since the first rush and that the whole Yukon settlement was on the verge of starva- tion have alternated with graphic de- scriptiors of the hardships and dan gers awaiting the Yrospector before he can even reach the mining region. The scientific experts, too, have de- clared that nine out of ten of the men who try their fortunes would do far better physically, morally and fnan cially by staying at home. It is more over, estimated that the vast army of prospectors, the vanguard of which is now starting Alaska-ward, will spend in 1898 some $60,000, ,000-to pro- duce one-fourth of that amount. But all these arguments are as vain babble in the ears of the Argonaut. He has seen or known or read of the men who took $5,000 out of 40 square feet in Claim No. 30; of the $62,000 that came from 24 square feet in Fl Dora do Claim 13; of Mrs. Lippi and Mrs. Berry, who poked S6,000 out of dis carded dump in few days, while one of the men of their party secured $1,000,000 claim; of the man who took $1O0 out of one pan of dirt-and So on through crescendo of fact and fiction.
