Some months later three men from
Canajoharie, who had deserted from the
provincial army and Joined the enemy,
came back to spy around and report on
the condition of their old neighbors.
They were caught and hanged as spies,
one of them being executed in Van
Alstine g orchard. When the spies did
not return several Indians were sent to
see what had become of them. The In

They took awful toll, With the excep

was not one that escaped without one

TRv Cable to The Tribune ]

Paris. Oct. 1.-The question of obtain
ing canonIzation at Rome for Christopher
Columbus as saint is again examined
by Henri Vignaud, president Of the So
ciety of Americanists in Paris and the
foremost authority on Columbus, VINO
publishes to-day remarkable treatise
on the subject already mooted by tue
Knights of Columbus in the United
States. by the late Cardinal Donnet'
Archbishop of Bordeaux, and the late
Count Roselly de Lorgues.
This claim for Christopher Columbus
of celestial honors was favorably re-
ceived by Plus TX and by Leo XIII, but
the pitiless scalpel of sanity investiga-
tions reveals certain moral deficiencies in
the character of Columbus, which. in the
opinion of the advisers of Pope Plus X,
would make it impossible to institute
the long and complicated process for
beatification with any chance Of success.
Consequently, all efforts to place Co
iumbus among the saints recognized by
the Roman Catholic Church are now
definitely abandoned.

HOPE TO RECOVER MILLIONS
Another Attempt to Get Gold on
Sunken Frigate Planned

London, Sept. 24.-At the recent statu-
tory meeting of the National Salvage
Association, Ltd, II was announced that
another attempt is to be made to salve the
British frlgate Lutine, lost at the entrance
of the Zuyder Zee Oh the night OF October
9, 1888, while carrying to Cuxhaven specie
