REAL SITE OF CALVARY.
Experts Claim Discovery of Hill Where
Savior Died.
peeial Cablegram to The Star

Special Cablegram to The Star.
CONSTANTINOPLE. January 12.-After
long and patient investigation and no little
controversy it is now believed by experts
who have devoted especial attention to the
subject for several years that the real site
of Calvary has been identified also that a
tomb has been discovered which. as the
only one that in all respects satisfies the
requirements of the gospel narratives, Is
entitled to take precedence of all others as
the probable sepulcher in which the Savior
was laid away after the crucifixlol.
The new Calvary, as it is called to dis
tinguish it from the traditional Calvary.
has long been used as a Mahommedan GEM
etery, and its acquisition is therefore i'm
possible. But after much trouble with the
Turkish authorities the tomb. with the gar
den surrounding it, has been purchased for
$40, 600 the purchasers agreeing to build a
wall to separate it from the cemetery.
1t is held by trust, Ito be kept sacred
as a quiet spot and preserved on the one
hand from dissertation and on the other
hand from superstitous eyes, Among
those who have approved the plans and who
sent to these plans from the Turkish gov
eminent are many distinguished ecclesias-
tics and laymen. Now an appeal is Icing
made to Christians the world over to sub
scribe an additional sum to provide a fund
for the proper maintenance of spot which
has such unique claim to generation.

THE HAGUE, January FIT is well

great interest in the fight against tubercu-

end of the regency, applied it for estab-
fishing home for consumptives on one of
her majesty's country seats. The Associa-

RUSSIA PLANS RAILWAY.
New Line to Vladivostok for STRAIT
egtic Purposes.

ST. PETERSBURG, January 12.-The
ministry of railroads has proposed to the
council of ministers the immediate COM
mencement of the construction of the first
section of the Amur railroad designed to
give Russia a line to Vladivostok entirely
through Russian territory. This section
runs from Stretinsk, where construction of
the Amur railroad was abandoned when
Russia occupied Manchuria, to Pokhrovs-
kaya. at the confluence of the Shilka and
Argun rivers. head of navigation on the
Amur, a distance of 240 miles.
The purpose of the line at present is
purely strategical and was evoked by the
specter of a renewal of the Russo-Japa-
nese war. 1t is admitted that the road
can be profitable commercially only after
many years. The need of the immediate
construction of the remaining section to
Khabarovsk is obviated by the facility of
steamer navigation from Pokhrovskaya to
the sea

North German Insurance Company of

German court to pay the claims against

Citizens Object to Assessments in Ad-

The Commissioners gave hearing to
representatives of the citizens aSsocia-
tons of Paramount. Burrville and Lin
coin at the District building yesterday
upon a proposed bill to extend the time
for the payment of certain assessments
on property along the extension Of 10th

the Spokesman of the party declare, has
not been extended except on paper and
those affected do not think the District
should begin assessing the abutting and
benefited property owners at the early date
proposed and it was in view of this that
they had the legislation for the extension
of time in assessing the property intro
duced.

the Commissioners by John Ridout, who

Illegal for the Commissioners to make

make any improvements, thus tying up

the owners in question to pay the neces-
sary assessments. Mr.. Holman contended
that. with this blocking of improvements,
it is impossible to dispose of the property
or make improvements.
The bill, which was introduced in the
Senate December last. provides that. in
