question which should be easily

The Value of the Historical.

Some years ago San Antoni,
awoke thoroughly TO the truth tia
historic interest attached to it is ;
most valuable asset. and set to worl
to take full advantage of it. Step,
were taken to insure the preserya
ton of the mission buildings anc
pat them in condition for visitor:
I to go to and through without dis.
comfort. an admirably small and
well illustrated history Of the city
was printed and placed in the book
stalls, superb post cards, showing
all principal places and objects,
were prepared and sent through
the mails and a systematic policy
of advertising San Antonio as a city
where health. pleasure and interest
can be found in attractive combin-
alton was inaugurated. This EN-
lightened policy has since been
pursued, with the result that the
Alamo City is known almost every
where the English language is
spoken, and draws to itself annual
" tens of thousands of visitors.
All of these tourists have spent lib
orally and added, in that way, to
the magnitude and richness of the
volume of local trade. Many others
have invested in real estate and
others still have established enter
prises that have helped greatly in
building up the city to its present
metropolitan proportions.-Cur-

New Fact About Pompeii.

I separated from the sea by a STRIP
of land, was solved de fact, il
1879, by a network of trenches
opened by Rugfero across the
disputed district. It was ascertain
ed on this occasion that the story
of three-masted ship, in fact OF
the flagship of Pliny, alleged to
have been found near the farm
house of Messigua in 1855, was
absolutely groundless. The masts,
seen and described by the naval
architect Giuseppe Negri, were
simply trunks Of cypress trees.
Many such trunks of expresses
have been found since. They
measure, as an average, N. 1.42 in
circumference N. O.57 in diam
eter, which seems to be the proper
size for a tree 40 or As years old.
Their roots are still planted in the
antique humus Of the mouth of
the Tarho, whereas the trunks are
embedded in the laplli of the
eruption of 10. With the help of
these fossil remains the line OF the
ancientseacoast has been traced from
Tore Annunziata to Castellam-
mare, crossing the river Sarno 5000
feet above its present mouth. The
picturesque rocks of Rovigliano,
the petra Herculis of the Romans,
which, before the eruption, were
separated from the mainland by a
channel 1850 metres wide, come
now within APO metres of the
shore.
Among those who showed an
equal but far nobler self-possession
and who remained faithful to duty
in spite of the appalling Circum-
stances were the few soldiers
garrisoning the city. Sixty-three
skeletons have been discovered in
the barracks.
These facts, which I have quoted
from memory, prove that the
number of the victims of the erup-
ton within and near the Inflated
city is greater than was generally
Supposed-viz., from 500 to 700 for
the portion excavated up to 1889.
This portion represents four-tenths
of the whole surface. If the ratio
be same for the districts yet
unexplored, the total number of
the victims may be put at a
of 1900. Admitting the
of 1000 or 1000 as the
most probable for the population,
this means that of nine Pompeians /
one persisted, while eight succeed
ed in saving their lives The lat
est discovery deserving considera-
ton is that of trunk of laurel -
Taurus nobilis-tne plaster cast of
which is an admirable reproduc-
ton. In the mass Of ashes in
which the trunk lay buried prints
Or marks of leaves and berries
oacca lauri-have been identified
beyond any doubt. The discovery,
studied and analysed by the pro-
lessor of botany in the University
Of Naples, and other eminent
specialists, is very important, be-
cause it brings forth a new argu-
nent, as decisive as it was I'M

TROOPS WILL APPEAL.
Discharged CoIored Soldiers TO Make
Fight in Court.-Want Civil
Rights Restored.

Washington, Post. Nov 10, '06 ]
Members of Companies B, c, AMI
ID, of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. who
were recently discharged from the
army by President Roosevelt will
take steps TO secure their re-instate-
ment in the service and the restora-
tion of their civil rights. This is
the opinion returned by James b i.
Green, a Washington lawyer.
- Mr.. Green maintains the President
had no right to discharge the SOL
diers without trial by court martial
He says the discharge was unconsti
tutional and without precedent in
the War Department.
THE action OF the President IN
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1906-11-24

discharging the members of Com
panies b, c, and ID is illegal, and in
direct violation of-the fifth amend
ment to the Constitution" said Mr..
Green yesterday. Action will be
instituted for reinstatement ani res
toration of civil rights. The fifth
amendment positively asserts that
no person shall be deprived of his
life. liberty. or property without due
process of law. The Presidents or
der disban ling the soldiers may be
effective for that purpose only, but
the penalty attached is clearly ille-
gal.
DEPRIVED OF THEIR PROPERTY
"The order forfeits the privilege
of re-enlistment and the right TO
hold positions under the government
1t is undoubtedly an attempt to de-
prive the men of their property
without due process of law. A sol
dier's right Of reenlistment unques
tionably is property.
1.-The phrase, due process of law,
describes the process by which cases
pass through the courts of justice
in this particular instance, the court
martial. This was not done.
THE provision in the Constitu-
tion against quartering soldiers in
private houses is but branch of the
constitutional principle that soldiers
in times OF peace. shall be in strict
subordination to the civil powers
Therefore, the rights of the soldiers
are subject to the same protection
as the rights of any citizen.
