Paris, France.-The remarkable
search which Ambassador Porter has

cation Friday by the highest French
medical experts as unquestionably
that of the famous American admiral
who founded the American navy.

state of preservation, considering the

final discovery of the body are partic-
ularly interesting. General Porter has
conducted the search for the last five
years and when congress recently
took no action upon the presidents
recommendation for the expenses in

continued the extensive labors at his
own expense. A large force of work

BODY OF PAUL JONES DISCOVERED

Itunneling and cross-tunneling the old
st. Louis cemetery. This constituted
huge operation, embracing nearly a
block covered with buildings and re.
quiring system of subterranean min
ing.
Finally the leaden coffin containing
the remains of the admiral was dis
covered. 1t was opened in the pres
ent of General Porter, Colonel Bailey
Blanchard, second secretary of the
American embassy, and Engineer
Weis, who has been directing the ex-
cavation. The body was found to be
well preserved, owing to it's being i'm
mersed in alcohol. 1t was wrapped in
a sheet with packing of straw and
hay. Those present were immediate
ly struck by the resemblance of the
head to that on the medallions and
bust of the admiral.
The limbs were wrapped in tinfoil,
presumably for sea transportation, as
indicated in a letter of the admiral's
nearest friend and a pallbearer at his
funeral, Colonel Blackenden, who
said:
''His body was put in leaden cof-
fin, so that in case the United States,
which he had so essentially served,
should claim his remains, they might
be more easily removed"
Finding that all the internal organs
were singularly well preserved, the
doctors made an autopsy, which
showed distinct proofs of the disease
from which the admiral is known to
have died. The Identification was pro-
complete in every particular.

New York, August 15.-The tide of

mixed points of strength they were
not SO predominant as for some time
past. The desire to take profits evil

the failure of the efforts to get the
market to move upwards prompted
an attack in the latter part of the

signs of concert and organization. The
attack had little success in dislodging
any stock and rather hasty moves

Weather Bureau was regarded as Civ

hopes now entertained for the great

Commerce Commission of the charges
