WHO DISCOVERED AMERICA Prof. John Fiske of Harvard University Talks of the Great Find. MANY BUBBLES BURST BY NEW FACTS Rathless Tending of Cherished Legend and Poetic Fancy—Columbus Wasn't in 1t —How the Country Was Christene: John Fiske's name 1s honored on two con- tinents, and it was natural that when he was aunounced to lecturo in Omaha much inter- est, and not a little commendable curiosity, shoule be evinced, Mr. Fiske is eminently a “credit to his country,” and his work an unanswerablo refutation of the European- born sneer anent America’s lack of distine- tion in science and letters. The importance of his contribution toward tha demonstration of tho Darwinian theory and oxposition of the Sponcerian philosophy gained the immediate recognition of the masters thomselves somo twenty vears ago. “Excursions of an Evolu- tionist” in the “The Unsesn World” are highly interesting and perhaps as conclusive as anything on that subject can be. Ho has rangod from “Myths and Mythmakers” to the outlines of cosmic_philosophy, ana has aoalyzed “American Poiitical Ideas,” “The Critical Period of American History” (that imieaiately following the revolu- tion) he has made peculiarly his own. his latost work, monumentally minute, the fruitage of many years' study, deeds with tho discovery of America. It has just been published, and is likely to romain the great- est quudrocentennial memorial of that preg- aant event. It was on this subject that Mr. Fiske lec- turediio Unity church Monday night, and his suditors will never forget it. But, no, he doesn’t “'lecture,” he talks, and makes arafts on his fand of facts (all duly dated) that wmaze one into confusion. Ha is so terribly destructive of all our cobweb notions of ms- Y. ‘When Mr. Maco introduced him to his au- dience, it was at once evident that Mr. Fiske ‘was not of the “pule, scholarly stooped” gen- us, and in the moment one remembered that thn bistorian and scientist had also deciared “4t does pay to smoke” and that “‘the coming man will drink wine.” Hale and ruddy, with tho girth of fifty years, his very pros ence lightened tho to many dry-as-dust min- uiiae a knowleage of which he considors es- sential to a right appreciation of how the discovery of America was brought about. Mr. Fiske bears o not remote resemblance to Mr. Walter Besant, the novelist, in sppearance. His lower face is concealed, and partially revealed, by a full beard somewhat thin, “ He wears a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles which somohow resent resting on such an noncharacteristic noso and have ever and again to be settled by Mr. tiske. The Delsartean method is unknown to Mr. Fiske, evidently; gencrally he stands ‘with his right hand resting on his waistcoat in- side the scrupulously buttoned Prince Albert, his left caressing the small of his back, but now and again he loosely twines his fiagers in front and an auditor anxious for the pro- prieties perspires in fear that he may twirl his thumbs waiile uttering the gravest of novel propositions. His eye has tho twinkle (doubled 1n the same way) of Wailter Bes- I ['ne lecture! The intellectual vanity of the “omniscient one” on the staff dropped a noteh and then slipped all the other notches. Ho could appreciate in a vaguely sort of - vertebrate way the quality of the wine, but how give o keen-palated public even a faded flavor of the bouquet? After o neatly worded introductory sent- enco from Mr. Mann, Prof. Fiske spoke, and somo of his more_striking sentences (though his last merit will be Scntentiousuness) are substantially transferrca. History needs to bo rowritten with every mew generation, Especially is this true of the discovery of America, and especially necessary in these days when $o many uew. and distarbing data are constantly coming to light and a broader, fuller, vet not less microscopic, methdd of treating history is velug everywhere demanded. The discov- ery of America must be treated in its con- nection with other subjects; it must be borne in mind that it was only a part, important as that part may be, in tlie general brouden- ing of mind that so predominantly character- fzed tho fifteenth and sixteenth centuries the world cver. The modern map must bo banished from our mental view, that modera map of the ancient world in_which the only thiags ancient are the Latinized names, For examplo i 1492 Martin Behaim of Nuremberg mude a globe in which Ceylon shows larger than Hindostan. Itis necessary to get iato sympathy with the state of ~ ascertained knowledge of the times to fully appreciate tho situation; nineteenth contury knowledge must be forgotten for the time being, or cast aside, The discovery of America was a commor- cial unterprise, priacipally. Very little in- terest was taken in those aays infthe yoyazes of the Cabots orthe Northmen adventurers, In tho eleventh century thero is little doubt that Icelandic sailors visited the coast of North America, and, indeed, provably vis- ited Massachusetts tav. Eu parenthese, Mr. Fiske has a pleasantly dosultory (in the literal meaning of that much abused adjective) habit; from point to point ho jumps, but he is pardoned, as his views il kaleidoscopic are Instructive, But the voyages of the Icelanders solved no commercial problem and so wore un- noticed. Until the sixteenth century Europe stood with nher back to America. Her eyes weore ever on Asia; from the morning sun had always come that danger Europe was interested in Asia commer- cially. Mr. Fiske put briefly, but in a high’light the trade relations of the occident and tho orient during the so-called durk ages. But in tho thirteeath century some events occurred which brought about a change, Most prominent among these was the rise of Moghol empire. The members of that great dynasty were en- lightened to o degree, and av their invitation w number of Franciscian monks visited China nd back to western Europe brought the startling news that Asw on the east was terminated by a great ocean, not, as Ptolemy had theorized, by swamps, Aud here Prof. Fiske pricked a vory full- bellied bubble of popular history. Tne idea of the earth being tlat was held by none but the illiterate of that time. Aristotle haa spoken of the sphericity of the eartn, @and by the dawn of the Christian era theidea (the fact) was well kuown. A very important polat to remem- ber, for the body of learned geographers with whom Columbus debatec at Lisbon one one und all believed in the sphericity of the * earth. Roger Bacou of England in 1257 had quoted many authorities to prove the possi- bility of reaching the lndies by au oceanio route, but hic idea had taken no hola, be- cause as yet there wus no necessity for going that way. In 1410 the author of the “Tmago Mundi'” had gathered all the known opinion on the subject, and 1t s now well known that Christopher Columbus l;on.em.l the book and was largely influenced y it; his marginally annotated copy is now 10 the catbedral at Seville, After a pregnant reference to the book of Marco Polo, the speaker came to what he evidently considers the seed of the shrub that bore in fruitage the discovery of Auwmerica. Toward the latter half of the four- teenth centary the Chinese tired of the mighty Mognol dypasty and overthrew It, closing to western Europe the golden gates of theeast. The power of Islam revived. Now, whilo Veuice beld the Oriental trade by way of Egyot, Genoa, the bithplace aud ehildhood home of Columbus, controlled it via the Bospborus. Constantiuople fell in 1453, and Geooa's trade was paralyzed. The Mediterraneau swarmed with Turkisk cor- sairs, Wnat to dot The circumnavigation of Africa haa been spoken of years before largely as a geographically aud scientificaily curious point; now it entered the realm of #ipractical politics,” so to speak. 'Mr, Fisko descrlbed how the wostern coast of Africa had bcen explored by various bardy mariners, noting that Bartholomew Columbus, Christopher’'s brotber, had been in the exvedition of Bartholomew Diaz, who bad rounded the cape of Good Hope, About 1470 the brothers Columbus were in Lisbon, There Christophier mariied and went to live on Porto Santo, in the Madetras All exploring expoditions called at Porto Bauto, leaving their impress and inspirin, the Genoese navigator and dreamer. Bagl in Lisbon, importuning, but fixing exorbitant terms, the king to #dt outan expedition to weach the spices, oils ana valuable products of the Indies by the water route. The kng of Poptugal gug the geograpliers never gues- tioned that the Indies could be reached by westward sailing, but the distance—S8,000 or 10,000 miles—with no shore to hug, made the project impracticable. Disgusted, hut not dishearteasd, Columbus erossed over Spain, Ill-fortuned momeat. Spain was in the midst of her war with Grenada. Nice time to talk of visionary exp2ditions. The war over, however, Columbud got his fleet and sailed toward the sotting sun. Many intoresting and novel points brought out by Mr. Fiske here may not be dwelt upon. Rowever, ons. Thé seeming avaricn of Co- lumbus’ terms is explained by Mr. Fiske as a desire to got the means where by he might fitout another crusade against the recrescent Moslem. Columbus returned from his first voyage, but added little to_the old world's knowl- edge of tho new. Vascodi (Gama had been round the Cape and brought back weaith; Columbus had none, and the evident was more valuable than the potential. The peo- plo of his time thought nothing of ms accom- plishment. But in fact he accomplished lit- tle, in Mr. Fiske's opinion. How did America get long story, to Mr. lously microscropical its name! A Fiske's scrupu- sense of trath. Vespucius Amerigo was a noted astronomer | in th rvice of the mighty Meaici of Flor- ence. Astronomer and cosmographer, he was naturally stirred with a desire to enter the onterpriso of seoing this new world dreamt of for 1,550 years boforo his time. The result of his voyages were communi- cated to a Florentian friend, Lorenzo di Madicl. This letter is the great item in the discovory of America. Waldseemuller of Strasburg wrote an _introduction to it for publication and jestingly said, “Seeing Ku- rope, Asia and Africa were all numed after women why not christen the mundus novis America, after a man?” A jest the name re- mained. Mercator was the Hrst to use it on a map. But this was not the discovery of America as we know it, wflrningl{ says Prof. Fiske, and the reporter 1s left in a hoze nsloeun what the Harvard lecturer does cons! the when and the how and by wbom America was found out. ——————— BrruiNatoy, la., April4, 1801, Dr. J.

Narcotic cures have got another victim. This time 1t is the dozoction of drugs that destroys the uppetite for the use of tobacco, and in this case the life of a man. Willlam Zeller, a carpeater, who has been in the employ of Contractor Coots for the past nine years, and who resided with his | wife at the corner of Twentieth and Grace streets, was an inveterate tobacco chewer. Heé did not smoke, neither was he addicted to the liquor habit. He chewed tobacco con- stantly, and a little mora than a week ago he thought he would rid hiself of the desire for chewing the weed and squirting its amber substance around over everything. He went to an institute and procured the tobacco rem- edy. He had been taking it about a week, and Monday night went home apparently in good health, bav one of his co-workmen said he quit Work an hour eariier than usual, When Zeller startea home hoe staggered a little and said he felt a littls dizzy. Arriving there ho complained of feeling poorly, and, shortly afterward, died very suddenly. A physician who had been summoned in- formed Zeller's wifo that he died of heart failure, probably caused by the tobacco cure. Zeller wus a healthy man, and during his long career in Contractor Coots’ factory At Sixth and Jones stree! he had little sick- ness. Ho was 55 years of age and his family consisted of a wife only. Her rolatives at Springfield, Neb., werc telegraphed the sad intelligence of her husbaud’s sudaen and unexpected death. They arrived in the city yesterday.

Interment at Concord, N, H. dor | THE HORSE HIGH OMAHA D HOG TIGHT Btrest Commissioner Windspear Puts a Legal Fence Arouad the Oity's Land. MAYOR BEMIS DETERMINED THE MOVE Property Clalmed will [ by the Unlon Pacific 1d by the City Until De- ed in the Courts—A Defis nite Proceeding. o ¥ City Attorney Connell decided yesterda after looking into the matter thoroughly, that the triangular piecs of land contatning about 200 acres and situated on thy river bank just south of Kast Omaha was the property of the city, and not the Union Pa- cific Ralway compauy. A diagram of the plat of ground was propared by City En gineer Rosewater, and along with Mr. Con- nell's decision laid bafore the maydr. In compliauce with a decision renched after a consultation with the engineer and tho city attornoy, Mayor Bemis yestorday morning ordered the land in dispute to be fencod in. Streot Commissioner Windspar was ratner expecting the order, and when it reichad him early yesterday morning was ready with a fores of thirty men and several wagon loads of material to commence work at ones. Once on the grouud tno laborers turned to and worked rapidly. The first post was planted at tha foot of Caming straat and a line of posts placed in position to the north- ward as fast as possible.. When tho work- men laid oft at noon-time they had about 1,500 foet of yellow pine board fonce, five feet high, in position. Entered Formal Objection, Somo Union Pacifis employes happaned along about this timo and when they saw what was going on, hastened to vhe railway company’s headquarters and reported tho matter. This brougnt William Canada of tho Union Pacific land uepartment to the scene as fast as he could travel. He was accom- panied by a clerk and thrae or four yardmen, Mr. Canada approached Street Commis- sioner Winaspear, who was still on the ground in charge of the work, and notitied him “officially” that he was & tresspasser and would be held responsible, and concluded his little specch by ordering Windspear, his men and material off the ground. The bluft didw't work on Windspear, however, who merely replied that he was acting under orders from the mayor and city attorney and did not intead tostop until the work was completed or ho was ordered to doso by the courts, The carpenters returned to their work and Canada loft, saying that he was going to get out an jnjunction. In spite of the rain the work progressed fairly well, but not as rapidly as had been expected. The land being fenced in is just north of the old water works pumping station and in the form of a letter V, mado so by two sid- ings; thus the fence does not cross any of the railroad tracks. . Winaspear stayed oa tho ground all day and saw that the work was pushed rapidiy forward. He wanted to be on hand anyway if there was a chance for a fuss, as it was thought at one time that the Union Pacific might sena a gang of men out to tear down the fence already un. All through the long, wet afternoon the men worked, and at quitting time huad 1,080 feet of the long fence in place. Up to 6 o'clock, when the men left tho ground for their homes, Canada haa not showed up with his threatened injunction. What the Lawyers Say. General Solicitor ‘Thurston was seen last. night by a represontative of Tue Beg, but declined to disclose the course which would be pursued by the corporation ho reprosents.: He did say. though, that no force would be used by the Union Pacific employes to drive the men from their work or to tear down the long yellow wall of pine boards. City Attorney Connell suid last night that if the railroad company had a better claim to the lana than the city it would have to go into the courts to prove it. Tho city attor- ney further said that the land in question was the northern key to the city. nmi was of great value and would be especially so if another railroad desired entrance into the city. Street Commissioner Windspear was rather pleased with his day’s labor, though ho said that the heavy rain. greatly retarded tho work. The material for the completion of the fence 1s all on the ground and the work of erecting the fencing will be continued today, I'wo reguiar police officers and several of : tho street commissioner's men guarded the fenco ana material all night. WITHOUT A TRAFFIC MANAGER, Mr. C, S, Mellen Resigns His Position With the Unlon Pacific Rallway. The resignation of Charles S. Mellen as general trafic managar of the Union Pacific is o surprise in railway circles, though a fow intimates profess having known that ho had contemplated such a move for a considerable time back. The resignation will take effect April1, and Mr. Mellen has accepted the general managership of the New York & New England railroad, The near approach of the annual meeting of the Union Pacific stockholders and the rumors of & probable change in management lead some railroad men to conclude that Mr, Mellen has improved an opportunity to an- ticipate a oig revolution in the offize build- ing at tbe foot of Farnam street. On the other hand those who stand closest w0 Mr. Mellen assort positively that the change was made solzly for family coasidera- tions. He had been living 12 Bostoa before joining the Union Pacificforce and his fam- ily aid nov take kindly to the far west, Asa matter of fact their home was made in Chi- cago, With an ofice in Omaha and a home in Chicago Mr. Mellen was forced to spend much of his time at New Yerk aud other dis- tant points. His friends explain that he long coatemplated u return to the east and tnar. the change now anuounced is simply in line desire and has nosignificunt bearing ny Union Pacific policy, ‘well pleased with tho west, and 1t is thought in soine quarters that the death of his wife, which occurred last Sunday, may lead to the withdrawal of bis resignation, but as he has accepted another position that is hardly probable. ‘The successorship is of great Interest in railway circles, but #s yet it seems to be only a matter of speculation and very vague at that. General Manager Clark =~ is ex- pected in the city this week and may an- nounce a new trafiic manager, but as tho an- nual meeting is only a month distant the an- nouncement may be delaved until after that event transpires, A Union Pacitic official who has closely followed the trend of tnat road’s affairs for many years expresses the opinion that the trafiic manugership will be abolished as a disunct ofiice. ““I'ne most thoughtful railroad men,” he said, “have come Lo the coaclusion that a traflic manager is o fifth wheel, The general freight and the general passenger agents ure his subordinates, and have to refer a great many things to him for his approvai or rejec- tion, Tne traffic manager's business calls him away from Leadquarters a great deal, and it bas been the experieace of the Union Pacific that his action on important matters has often been delayed two weeks. This is a greay bindrance to the work of the freight Baking Powder: Used {n Millions of Homes—40 Years the Standard, DAILY BEE:S WEDNE and passenger baepartments, but it is ana. voidable under she prosent system. “It is necessary to have a man to do {nst rh\t ho traf fl;‘“ rrni boen doing, but think when themhangd is Announced it will be fonnd that Mee.

"’ General Froight Agent Munroo has been in California astending o transcontinental mesting, but is mow on his way home. Mr. Mellen s regarded by his associates as atraffic man of exceptional ability, ite beirun his railroad career as a clork in the office of the cashier of the Northern, a small New England road, A year later he went 1o the engineeriug department of the Ver- mont Contral, but in 1873 returned to the Northern and becamo its auditor and cashier, After soven yoars 1n that service ho was made assistant geporal manager of tho Bos- ton & Lowell. Tures yoars later ho was ap- poiuted general superintendent, which posi- tion he beld untal 1888, when the Adams management pursuaded him to come to Omaka in the servico of the Union Pacific. He began here as weneral purchasing agen s, but a year later was appointed general traf fic manager. Rallway Rarry Knodell, state organizer for the Ruilway Employes club, has returned from a trip over the Blkhorn and reports new clubs at Long Pine and Chadron. The latter was organized Sunday with sixty-five charter memoers and the following oficers: President, G, W. Lahr; vice presi- dent, D. MeNeil; secretary, C. A, Tennant; tronsurer, J. H. Samimons; other members of executive committes, P. H. Hayes, . R. Wess, (. L. Harner: delegate to state con- vention, H. A, Cox. The Loneg P’ino club started with twenty- five charter members. Another club will probably be formed at Diadwood or Lead y. oir. Knodell went to Columbus this afternoon to organize a club. A convention of the Nebraska clubs will be held in Omaha next Tucsday to form a state bourd. The Omaha club will meet Saturday night at the Grand Army of the Republic hall to elect nine delegates to the state con- ventiou. At the latter there will be repre- sentatives from Omaha, South Omaha, Sionx City, Lincoln, Beatrice, Plattsmouth, Nor- folk, Long Pine, Chadron, Columbus and Wymore. W. E.
