The Italians, M. lie Roux says are

prisoners who resided for years in the

JrRusALEM's RUINS.
The Remains OF a MEDIEVAL church

The Remains OF a MEDIEVAL Church
Discovered.
The Greek Catholic monks, who are
in possession of the chief portion OF
the church Of the Holy sepulcher. are
now going to build a bazaar opposite
it, where pilgrims may purchase SOU
venirs Of their visit 10 Jerusalem. Dur
ing the process Of clearing the site
the foundations Of an old medieval
church, forty meters long and thirty
wide, with three apses, were discoy-
cred. A number OF fine capitals, trag-
ments of basalt pillars and Da5-rsliefs,
with symbolic animals, were found, all
these remains having, doubtless, be-
longed to the choir Of the church. Last
year a valuable silver shrine, contain
ing a piece Of the holy Cross and relics
Of the Apostles Peter and Paul-ae-
cording, at least, to the Inscriptions
on them-was discovered at the same
place. The patriarch Of Jerusalem, 1t
is said, is keeping other discoveries Sc
cret, owing to his dislike Of the Ro-
man Catholic church. Those mem
toned above are all the more impor-
tant as it can be ascertained to what
church they belonged. According to
the statement of a medieval traveller,
the hospice and the monastery, which
the citizens Of Amalf founded about
the year GAO, as a refuge for Western
pilgrims, was situated due south Of the
Holy Sepulcher, about a stones throw
away. The first church was built in
honor of st. Mary de Latins, and the
second, the ruins of which have now
been found, in honor of st. John the
Baptist. The French monk Bernard,
who lived there in $40, highly praised
the hospitality and the large library OF
the hospice. A Mohammedan histo-
rian says it was destroyed by the
Khalif Hakem and rebuilt shortly aft
erWard; while, according to another
account, it prospered down to the time
of King Baldwin of Jerusalem, from
HOO to 1118, when the two communi-
ties of st. Mary and st. John adopted
the latter as their joint protector. This
was the origin of the knights of St
John. The remains now discovered,
therefore, are the ruins of the cradle
of this order. 1t is most unfortunate
that the preservation of these very in
teresting remains seems impossible,
owing to the i'll feeling which exists
between the Greek and Roman Cath
olics in Observation-Disclosures Standard.

John. "Tm no worse off than lots of

as the clock struck ten.

The Socialists.

Returns of the vote cast at the re- cent election show 6 very general, though not extraordinary, increase in the SocialiSt strength, under one party designation and another. In New York state the total vote of the social iStS was upwards of 2i,0O0, or double that cast for DebS for president two years ago. This increase Is taken as an indication that the avowed social. iSts did not flock in any material nun. berS to the democratic standard be- cause of Mr. Hill'S state ownership Of coal mines plank. Had they done so uniformly without causing counter balancing defectionS they would have elected Mir. Coler. The paralysis of the coal mining industry has led to careful consideration by the public Of the conditions of mine ownership, and there has been among business men all over the country surprising amount of approving comment on state social 'm as remedy for the evils and dan gers of the present system. But the increased SOcialistic vote is far from being sufficient to indicate a decided political movement toward socialism in the United States. Only in a few communities are the votes large enough tO reckon even as l per cent of the total ballot. In Boston they made their best showing on the percentage basis, polling a total of g, ,4l4 votes out Df S7,4l2, or about II per cent. Yet this vote was divided between two candidates, each calling him self a So- cla'ist, so that there is no prospect of the socialist vote becoming a deciding factor even in Boston. Many of these Massachusetts socialists, too, belong to what is jocosely known as the school of "parlOr socialism, That is, they reyel in theories of state ownership and control, and extreme regulation by law. But they are not militant. They do not seek to proselyte their fellows. They hold meetings under comfortable circumstances, discuss ab. struse doctrines of statecraft and give
 themselves intellectual treats. But when il comes down to practical poll

 Civil Engineer Nichols, who is with the Souther Pacific grading camp al the mouth of the canyon, is reported to have stated yesterday that work will commence immediately on the branch railroad that is to be built from COchiSe to Naco. The Southern Pa citic now has about 5000 ties stacked at COchise, and has the road all grad ed, with few exceptions, between that place and Naco. They have a large crew ready to begin work on short notice. The company has the proposed cutoff now surveyed into this city as far as the Bisbee Mercan- tile store. It is not likely that they will be able to come any nearer the center of the city on account of lack of room. A large freight depot will be built there, and the switch yard put in on the ievel short distance from the mouth of the canyon. -BiSbee Review.
 The question of incorporation is up at Clifton. The Copper Era says We are firmly of the opinion that the only object of incorporation IS Co better the sanitary condition of the town, which it seems can only be accomplished through that method. The facts are that Clifton has been full of typhoid fever and smallpox for the past year. There have been at least two hundred cases of typhoid fever here within the year, a record unedualed by any other town in the United States. Notwith- standing the cold weather there are yet many eases in town, and the gen eral opinion of the medical fraternity Is that 1t will be much worse next year. This, with the smallpox, which has prevailed here for the past year, and still exists, is responsible for the lack of business energy that now prevails, and if it is allowed to continue for an- other year, there will be many more empty houses in Clifton"
