RECEIVE HERO'S WELCOME

PARiS, April 1.-THE remains of John
Paui Jones. the naval hero of the
american Revolution, which were discov-
cred yesterday have been bathed in
fresh alcohol to assure their preserva-
ton and 'hermeticaly sealed in a new
comm. They Will be kept in this condi-
ton pending the arrangements for their
transportation to the United States
The discovery of the body is regarded
as personal triumph for Ambassador
Porter. He had the courage of his con-
viction that the coffin could be found,
and persisted in his researches despite
encouragement.
A Hero's Homecoming.
1t is expected that arrangements will
be made to send the remains home on a
warship and that the arrival OF the Rev
oiutionary hero will be made the occas-
lon of patriotic demonstration.
The coffin. containing the remains was
located in the old ST. Louis cemetery.
On Wednesday, four leaden collins; of
The kind in which 1t is known Paul
Jones had been buried. were discovered
The plates on three Of the collins marked
Them plainly. The fourth coffin bore no
name and ii was removed TO medical
school for examination.
P0S1t1vely lQenI1ucQ.
Doctors Captain and Papiilaut, recog-
nized authorities on making indentifica-
tons Of bodies, were called in to exam
Inc the body. They declared. after the
examination, there could be no doubt
that the body was that of the naval
hero.
The body was found in an excellent
state of preservation, considering the
length of time which IL had been buried,
great care evidently having been taken
TO save il. Those who witnessed the
opening of the casket were struck with
the resemblance to the medallion heads
OF the admiral.
Measurements Tally.
General Porter furnished the doctors
with an authentic description of the adj
miral. including his measurements, and
with medallions. portraits. and two
busts by Houdin. The measurements
were found 10 tally exactly.
The linen was in good condition and
one piece bears an initial. either a j"
or an inverted '.P."
No uniform, decorations, or sword was
discovered in the coffin, as these had
all been accounted for after the burial
