Paris, ’ SepL 2S.?—An important work, which throws a fresh light on the discovery of America by Colum bus, has been written by Henry Vig- □eaud, -first- secretary- of the United States embassy here. I t is in French and will be published in this city Oc tober I. Mr. Yigneaud, who is the vice preaident of the Americanist society Paris, has made a life study of the early history o f America. In an interview with the corre spondent of- the Associated ¿Press, Mr. Vigneaud sjud: ‘‘The present work is intended to show that for the last four centuries \ve have been .deceived by a fraud wbich hides from us the real belong ings of Columbus’ project, that the famous documents ascribed to Tos-,| canelli, the learned Florentine as tronomer, was fabricated. I submit excellent reasons for believing that Toscanelli never wrote the letter of 1474 to K in g Alfonso of Portugal and never traced the chart alleged to have accompanied it. Columbus’ de sign was not founded ou any scien tific basis but on positive confirma tion as to the existence of land to the westward.” T h e G - e m , ANGUS BEDCE, Proprietor JS - Firstclass Restaurant ....

Shut Out Liquor Men. Agrees on the Decision. Washington, Sept. 28.—The board of' construction o f the navy practi cally has agreed on the design of the two armored cruisers authorized by the last congress. This authoriza tion provides that the navy depart ment should prepare plaus for two battleships and two cruisers which should be superior in construction to any- battleship or cruiser in 'the world. Recently the board decidedJ upon the battleships, with the exception of determining the question of turrets. Majority and minority reports were presented to the secretary of the navy and-then the board began to prepare plans for the cruisers. The plans, for the cruisers have been agreed upon' and a report pre pared, but it has not yet been acted upon by-th.e secretary. It is learned that the recommendations of the board provide for cruisers approach- • *, ing very nearly the present type of- battleships with, the 'difference that there Bhall be greater speed. They .will b e ,an-innovation in the direction of strength of armor < and battery and superior to even most of the battleships now afloat. The bat e tery recommended is as follows: Four ten-inch guns, mounted in two eight-inchiarmored turrets, the same as in'“ battleshipsf 'sixteen six-inch a.;» ~ i guns in broadside and twenty-two fourteen-pounders'(tbree-incb) guns protected by'five-inch stde armor G Y h e ispeed/w ill be< about ¿twenty- Helena, Sept. 28.— Mnosena Bullard is back from Indianapolis, where he attouded the session of the sovereign grand lodge of Odd Follows as the representative of Iho grand lodge of Montana. Oue of the matters discussed, said Mr. Bullard yesterday, was the eligi bility for membership of a hotelkeeper who provides a bar for his customers. The committee on judiciary reported that a hotelkeeper was not a saloon keeper merely because he provided a bar for-his hotel,-..and was, thorefore, eligiblo, hut tho supremo lodge would not accept the report. As tho mat-' ter now stands, ■ any saloonkeeper who maintains-a bar. in his house js barred .from membership. At tho close of the session there was a spiritod discussion regarding tho rules of-order with reference ,to liquor dealers, ojed the* tendehcy was to make them vory strict. Saloon keepers being barred from the order, the question was rpisod as to what should bo dono with those who’ had become members before this pro vision was adopted. It was decided that they should be allowed to take withdrawal cards. It was also decided that in case of emergency, whore an Odd Fellow was called upon to talio charge of a hotel with a bar in .it, be should still be subject to trial, but not necessarily to conviction. Another matter finally disposed of was that agents for breweries. were not digiblo for membership id* tho order. - ..... *• w n r b r à b b u t '2 ,0 ^ ^ structúró¿wjlL b e järnfor^j/the icon Heavy Licenses. - wlxich Murderer of President McKinley Will Pay the Penalty. Buffalo, Sept. 26.—Leon F. Czol- gosz, the assassin of President Mc Kinley, was this afternoon sentenced to bo electrocuted in Auburn state prison during the week beginning October 28,1901. Before the sentence wus passed thp assassin evinced a de sire to speak, but he could not get his voice above a whisper and his .words were-repeated to the court by his counsel. “ There waB no one else but me,” the prisoner said iu a whisper, “ no one else but me to do it, and no one paid me to do it. I was not told anything about the crime and I never thought auything about that until a couple of days before I committed the crime.” When Czolgosz sat down he was quite calm, but It was evident^that his rniud was flooded with thoughts of his own distress. His eyes were dilated, making them appear very bright. His cheeks wore a trifle pale and his outstrotchecT hand trembled. The death warrant signed by Jus tice White and addressed to the agent and warden of the Auburn state prison, directing bim to execute tho sentence of the court within tho prison on some day duriDg the week beginning October 28th, next, by causiug “ to pass through the body of the said Loon F. Czolgosz, a current of electricity.of sufficient intensity to cause death and that tho applica tion of said current of electricity bo continued until the said Loon F. Czol gosz is dead.” According to the law of this state, October 28th is tho earliest date that could bo fixed for tho execution of Czolgosz. Washington, Sept. 29.—Adjutant General Corbin announces that the board of brevets recently appointed to meet at the war department Mon day, would devote its attention solely to the cases of officers and enlisted men who especially distinguished themselves in the campaigns in China and the Philippines. It will have nothing to do with respect to officers who rendored special services in the West Indian campaign. The latter class was disposed of by a similar board, which concluded H b sessions over a year a year ago, while the fact that a brovet bad been recommended to congress for Colonel Roosevelt was published at the time tho nominations wore sont to (he senate, it appears that tho fact that there were two separate recommenda tions, and the exact basis for the board’s action wore not made public. Thoroforo the adjutant general today furnished these transcripts from tho proceedings of tho board: Lieut. Colonel Roosevelt, First United Statos volunteer cavalry to bo breveted colonel United States volun tears for gnllantry in battle, Las Guayma8, Cuba, Juno 2-1, 1898. For gallantry in battle Santiago do Cuba, July 1, 1898, Lieut. Colonel Roose velt, to bo brevetod brigadier general. Moved Lincoln’s Remains. Springfield, 111., Sept. 26.— What is intended to lie the final removal of the remains of Abraham Lincoln took place today. The casket was taken from its resting place in the monument to Memorial hall where it was openod and the remains viewed by the state officers who are members of the Lincoln Monument associa tion and some mombors of the old Lincoln guard of honor. The caskot was then closed and removed to the new vault. Two feet-of concreto pro tects the bottom of the casket. The excavation in which it rests is fifteen feet deep and eight feet wide and eight foot long. Surrounding the cas ket is a stool cage, around which will be placod a solid wall of concroto. . According tq the figures have been collected by L. P . Bennett,4 clerk of tho bureau of agriculture; labor and industry, (ho total amount' of licenses collected in Montana for the year 1000 was $547,806.37.' Of this amount $426,925 was paid by the retail liquor dealers, constituting 77.93 per cent of the total liconsos collected. The merchants and whole sale liquor dealers paid $60,930.20, or 14.12 per cent of the total: collected. The,next highest total paid by^any class by any class of business ia the state Ivas $9,638.15, which was paid by hotels, restaurants and -lodging housos,' being only 1.76 per cent. < „• In 1895 tho total licenses collected in the state was $172,942 50. In that year the retail liquor dealers paid $339^341.93 or 71.75 per .cent-of the \ > , 1 total. -The merchants and wholesale liquor dealers paid $48,067.47 or 10.17 per cent of the total. The total amount collected during ' the year 1895 ($472,9-42.50) included $26,399.42 for gambling; $17.50 for ?oleoinarga-f rine and about $600 lo r pools on races.

Was Breveted Brigadier General. Territory Wools. Asks for Alimony. Butte,' Sept.,28.—The Bordeaux di vorco case was -before the district court today. In the original suit Mrs. Bordeaux lost, and. she is uow endeavoring to get a new trial. In affidavits filed in the case-today, it is alleged that.Mr. Bordeau has prop erty iu Butte to the value of $65,000.

'• ,.V %- Reviewing the wool market for tho past week, tho American Wool and Cotton Reporter says: There has been a steady call foi territories, but not for largo blocks of wools. The aggregate of tho busi ness dono figures up a vory fair total -o v e r 1,000,000 pounds, all told. Among tho sales o f tho week were InOjUOO pounds of fine and medium Montana clothing at 15c, equivalent to a clean cost of 42<&43c. Another fair-sized lot of wool—about 100,000 pounds—of Montana was takon at a clean cost of 44c. Quite a number of samplo bales wore taken by con sumers, who are keeping in closo touch with tho market on territories. A number of other consumers have been in the market taking up wools which they bought several weoks ago. Tho ruliug prices for territory wools are 42<&43c. for fmo medium clothing, and 45<?/47c. for selected staple or dead fino clothing wool. Medium territory clothing sells for 3G@38e. Manufacturers have made some attempt to buy fino modium at -10c., but no stock which is desirablo Can be secured at that quotation. Savages at the Big Fair. St. Louie, Sopt. 2!).—Prof. F. W . Putnam now holds the chair of American archeology and ebnonogy of tho American musoum of natural history at New Fork, chairman of tho committee o f anthropology of the LDiversity of California and formerly chief of tho department of ethnology at the World’s Columbian exposition, who is here conferring with tho Louisiana Purchase Exposition com pany, has outlined what probably will be adopted, the plan of bringing the savage tribes o f tho earth to tho world’s fair in 1903. His suggestion is that tho exposi tion authorities appoint a committee of tho most eminent anthropologists of America to formulate plans for collecting tho types of the human race which it is desirablo to exhibit at the exposition. Yankees Score Victory. London, Sept. 30.—American elec trical engineers have scored another victory in England. The firm of J. G. White & Co. has been awarded the contract to build the corporation tramways in Bournemouth at a cost of £152,000 ($760,000). Special interest attaches to tho pro posed lines for the reason that they will be-the first ever constructed in Great Britain combining tho con duit and overhead trolley systems.

Later the troops went to Manila and were engaged in provost duty in that city. During the pastsummer a battalion of the Ninth has been in Samar. All the officers iu Company C were named in General' Chaffee’s dis patch, there being no second lieuten ant now with the companv. During his trip of inspection, Geueral Corbin visited the island of Samar. It was just se?en weeks ago tonight, he re marked whea discussing the news ef tho disaster to the «• company, that he was talking to General Hughes at Iloilo about the condition of the islands. The point where company C was surprised, he said, was a considerable distance from General Hughes’ head quarters. He was not surprised at the attack on the troops in Samar, as that was one of the islands consider ed particularly troublesome. The natives along the coast are friendly, but many of those in the interior are regarded as dangerous as guerrillas. Eleven Wounded Escaped. Manila, Sept. 30.— Like a flash of lightning from a clear sky comes tho nows o f the cutting to pieces Satur day in the island of Samar, near Balaningiga, of Company C, Ninth United States infantry, by an over whelming force of insurgents. Of tho seventy-two men composing the companv, forty-eight were killed and only twenty-four succeed in escaping. Eloven of them were wounded. Genoral Hughes is assembling a force to attack the insurgents. Captain Lawrence J. Hughes, of the Twenty-first infantry, reports a severe oDgagement with insurgents near Candelaria, the Americans los ing four killed and two wounded. The insurgents’ loss has not been as certained. The Americans captured 30,000 pounds of rice ond several hundred rouQds of ammunition. Excitement in Manila is at fever beat and an attack on tho city will be guarded against by the reinforce ment of walls and sentries. Work of General Lukban. Milwaukee, Sept. 30.— General Mae- Arthur said in relation to the attack on Company C: “ This is'one of those deplorable, isolated incidents which will have no effect upon the general result. It is a portion of the insurgents which has boen conducted by General Lukban, which has never been surpressed. There are plenty of soldiers there to ultimately suppress the rebellion in the island of Samar. The detail are too meager for me to discuss the sub-, ject. I can add nothing more.” ■fcV Boers Besiege British. Durbau, Natal, Sopt. 30.—A force of 1,500 Boers, commanded by Gen eral Botha, made an attack which lasted ail day long, September 26, on Fort Itala, on the border of Zueland. The burghers were finally repulsed, but at a heavy cost to the garrison, whose losses were an officer and 11 men killed and five officers and 38 men wounded. In addition 63 men are missiDg, of which number many - are believed to have been killed or wounded. The Boer commandant, Opperman,and 19 burghers are known to have been killed. Ask for Requisition.
