BURIAL PLACE OF COLUMBUS
Santo Domlngans Declare Great Dis
eoVerer's Ashes Lie In Their
Country.

Santo Domingo expects that it will
get a share in the great interna-
tional commerce that will move
through the Panama canal, writes
William Joseph Showalter in the Ma
tional Magazine. Not only will it
afford a great highway for its ex-
ports and imports, but it will also
constitute an important port of call
for many kinds Of ships.
Here one may see the house of Co
lumbus, and if the conclusions of
the priests of Santo Domingo are to
be believed, his brother and his son
were inferred in the cathedral. In
after years it was decided to remove
the ashes of the discoverer to Ha-
vana
When the S%paniards were fighting
in the Spanish-American war they
took the bones at Havana back to
Spain and inferred them there. 1t
is claimed that it has since been
demonstrated that those are the
bones of his brother.
The Santo Domingans afterwards
opened up a leaden casket and in it
found the inscription, "Cristobal CO.
Ion, first admiral" Other evidence
substantiates the claim and was
strong enough to convince Secretary
Knox that the Dominicans actually
possess the real bones Of Columbus.

Cat in a Long Fight Keeps Everybody at Bay

Witt went in and lighted the gas. His
hand was not down from the Jet be.
fore the cat sprang from corner and
struck his arm. AS he beat her on
she bit his left wrist and her claws
made burrows on his hand.
The cat renewed the attack. She
landed on his knee and he struck her
with HIS club. knocking her across the
room, but she was not even stunned.
for she was erouching for another
spring when De Witt hurled his club
at her. She was in the air when she
and the club met and both dropped to
the floor. Again she was up and upon
the policeman, this time tearing his
uniform. before he could seize another
weapon.
Selling her by the tail. he hurled
her against the far wall De witt
then threw a chair at the animal she
crawled out Of the wreckags and was
making another leap. when De witt
hurled another chair In fifteen min
utes the only article OF furniture no
had not thrown was the center table,
and upon the cats next lunge he up
set this upon her. But her nine lives
served her in good stead and she was
back in the fight IN a second.
The policeman wrapped the table
cover about his arm and used strate-
gy. He awaited the next spring and
let the animal fasten her teeth into
the covering on his arm AS she hung
there he shot her FIVE times.

A certain special correspondent for

the double quick a few years ago to
get a descriptive story" Of serious
mine disaster which had occurred in
the Pennsylvania coal fields. More
than 200 miners had been entombed
and rescuing parties we're vainly at
tempting to reach them. Arriving at
the scene of the disaster the CORE
spondent stood drinking in the situa-
ton. The weeping relatives gathered
at the head of the shaft and the spir-
itual consolation which was being
given them by clergymen affected him
strongly. Rushing back to the tele-
graph Office he wrote a 1,500-word
lead" which started like this:
God is near the head of the Mt.
Pleasant shaft tonight. Hundreds OF
wives, mothers, sweethearts and sis
ters are praying for the rescue of
their loved ones"
An hour after the story was filed

II Is reported that eight new Trans
Atlantic liners are under construction
for the exclusive use OF the Canadian

White Star, Canadian Pacific and

The liners 10 be built for the White

her maiden voyage from England TO

launched early next year.
II is predicted that the Canadian
Northern will not be slow IN following
the example Of the other big concerns,
as It is a matter OF common belief that
Canada, more than any other in the
world, will be the country OF the fu-
ture, and the best field for Investment
by shipping interests.
An Official of one OF the companies

trade told the American yesterday
that the ideal steamer for this service

Dominion.
"The farm land Of the vast North
West Is the attraction, and while this

the Canadian Government exercises a
strict censorship over the class Of i'm
