An Interesting Discovery.

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. S.-After more
than three centuries, a record OF the
De Soto expedition has been found on
the shore OF Lake Itaska, under a
large boulder, where It had lain ever
since II was placed there. The rec
ord, written on the skin of an antelope
was found by Chester Gray, a farmer
living on the shore of Lake Itaska
which is the source of the Mississippi
river. He has sent the record to the
Smithsonian institution at Washing
ton. The record. which is barely legi-
Bile. is dated August 9, 15i7, and signed
by Ferdinand Villena and Sancho Cue
va, members of the De Soto exploring
party. The document states that the
writer's had named the lake, whence
arises the great river in which De Soto
had been buried six years before

The four-rnaster schooner Martha e. Wallace,
Captain Ray from Brunswick. Ga. which ran
down and probably sank the three-masted
schooner Fannie Ritchie. of the Winterquarter
Iightship last Saturday arrived at Staten ISL
and yesterday with the Ritchie's crew.
Although the Wallace took the men of the
Richie aboard and fed them well on the way
back to port, not word of pleasantly was ex-
changed between the respective crews The
men belong to organizations bitterly opposed
to each other, and the rescue was made purely
from humane standpoint and in a perfunctory
fashion.
The Ritchie's crew lost all their clothing, and
had to weather it as best they could in their wet
togs, for there was no help coming in this mat
ter from the men of the wallace.
All the way up from Winterquarter Lightshlp
the itchie's crew kept to themselves. Their
mess was served separately and the crew of the
wallace gave them wide berth Once the rival
crews were compelled to eat together, and IL was
the ouietest meal ever taken abord ship. one
able seaman of the Ritchie went without SAT-
rather than ask member Of the rival crew 10
pass the dishs
The Ritchie's crew, which is composed OF men
from the American Federation of Seamen, were
provided by the organization yesterday with a
new bag of clothing The men of the wal
lace belong to the Atlantic Coast Seamen's

POINT AGAINST TAYLOR.
Verdict Possibly Reached Last Night in
Court Martial of Lieutenant.

First Lieutenant Roy I. Taylor, OF the 125th
Coast Artillery, court martial1ed for conduct
prejudicial TO good order and military dis
cipIine," admitted yesterday that he practically
had ordered Sergeant Patrick Butler to leave a
seat in a New-London theatre 20 give him an
opportunity TO talk with women with whom he
had no acquaintance. This was regarded as
strong point for the prosecution. and it practl-
eally rested it's case on It. The court martial is
being held In the Army Building, in White
hall-st.
Sergeant Butler was the first witness. He said
that Lieutenant Taylor. in citizens clothes was
in the row back of him He was in the uniform
Of his rank Taylor asked him to leave the seat
but he paid no attention to him He repeated
his wish in a manner Butler thought was
command. He obeyed reluctantly. Lieutenant
Taylor was then put on the stand.
Gould not some one else have purchased the
seat vacated by Butler-some one not OF the
party you mention?" asked Captain Skerrett,
the Judge advocate.
''Yes, 1 suppose so,' replied the Witness
why did you desire Sergeant Butler to leave
the seat, when any one else could have come and
taken it2"
The witness showed some confusion at this
question, but finally replied that he did not
think about that at the time. He admitted later
that he did not even know the women in tho
row ahead of him. The court Is supposed to
have reached a verdict last night.

Hotel, now a part Of the Imperial Hotel at
Falls and I'd sts., in the portion occupied by
Faxen, Williams & Faxon, grocers. The oocu-
pants of the Porter Hotel were startled by a
terrific explosion downstairs, and almost inn
mediatsly the flames spread through the build
ing. Fortunately the force of the explosion was
sufficient to arouse all the occupants. who es-
capped, but nearly all lost their clothing and
personal effects.
Explosions of barrels Of whiskey In Faxen
Williams s. Faxons cellar during the progress
of the fire added to the herceness of the blaze
and the constant explosion OF cartridges and
other ammunition in a sporting goods store next
door added another element OF danger. When
the FIRE appeared to be beyond control an ap-
peal for aid was sent to Buffalo, but before the
engines arrived the local hrenen had the flames
well under control
The total loss is estimated at $4,000. The
Imperial Hote. building was damaged to the
