John FlskoVnnmo is bonoroil on two con

of his contribution toward tin demonstration

It was on this subject that Mr. Fisko lea-

When Mr. Mann Introduced hlnvto his nu-
d 10nee , It was at oneo evident that Mr. Fisko
was not of the "pule , scholarly stooped" gen

After a neatly worded introductory sent

some of bis tnoro striking sentences ( though

substantially transferred.
History needs to bo rewritten with over ;
now generation. Especially is this true ol
the discovery of America , atfd especially
necessary in thcso days wbcn so manyruo\v
and disturbing data arb constantly coming ti
light and n broader , fuller , yet not' los :
microscopic , motubd of treating history I :
ooliig everywheredemanded. . The dlscov
cry of America must bo treated in its con
ncctlon with other subjects ; it must bo borm
in mind that it was only a part , importau
as that part may bo , In ttio general broaden
ing of mind that so predominantly cbaractet
izcd the fifteenth and sixteenth conturlc
tno world over. The modern map must bi
banished from our mental view , that inoacrr
map of thn ancient world In which the enl )
things ancient are the Latinized names. Fo
example in MO3 Martin Bohaimof Nurernbcr ,
mode a glebe in which Ceylon shows largo
than Hlndostan. It Is necessary to get lnt <
sympathy with the state of nscertalnci
knowledge of tbo times to fully appreciate
UIQ situation ; nineteenth century icuowlodgi
must bo forgotten for the tlino being , or cas
aside ,
The discovery of America was n commot
clal untcrprlso , principally. Very llttlo interest
torest was taken In these days Inlho voyaae
of the Cabots or tbo Northmen adventurers
In the eleventh century thereIs llttlo doub
that Icelandic : sailors visited the coast o
North America , and , indeed , probably via
itcd Massachusetts tnv.
Ea parenttie.se , Mr. 1-isko has a pleasantly
desultory ( In the literal meaning of thai
much abused adjective ) habit ; from point U
point ho jumps , but ho is pardoned , us hi :
views If kaleidoscopic are Instructive.
But tbo voyages of the Icelanders solvoi
no commercial problem and so were un
noticed. Until the sixteenth century Europi
ntood with her back tn America. Her eye
were over on Asm ; from tbo morning
tiuii had always coino that danger
.Europe was Interested In Asia cornmer
dully. Mr. Fisko put brlelly , but In
high light the trade relations of the occldon
and the orient during tbo so-called durl
ages. But in the thirteenth contur
fiortio events occurred which brought uuou
a change. Most prominent among thos
was tbo rise of Moghol empireTb
members of that great dynasty were or
lightened to a dogroo. and at their Invltalio
it number of Frunclsclan monks visited Chin
and back to western Europe brought th
startling news that Asia on tbo east wn
terminated by a great ocu.in , not , as Ptolom ,
bad theorized , by swamps.
And hero Prof. Fisko prinked a very full
bullied bubble of popular history. Tno idc
of the earth being Hat was held by none bi
the Illiterate of that time. Aristotle ha
spoken of the sphericity of thu cartt
| and by the dawn of the Christln
era the Idea ( the fact ) wns we
known. A very important point to romom
bor. for the body of learned geographer
with wbom Columbus debated nt Lisbon on
ono und nil bollovcd In tbo sphericity of tb
earth. Uogor Bacon of England in 1 )7 ho
quoted many authorities to provo tbo poss
bllity of reaching the Indies by an ocaanl
route , but hie IdeA had taken no hold , bi
causa as'yct thnro wus no necessity for gain
that way. In 1-110 the author of tno "Iinn ?
Mundl" had gathered all the known oplnlo
an the subject , nnd it i
now well known that Christopher Columbu
possessed the book and wns largely influence
by It ; his marginally annotated copy Is noi
in the cathedral at Seville.
After a pregnant reforoaca to the book c
Marco Polo , the speaker came to what h
evidently considers the seed of thoshru
that bore in fruitage tbo discovery (

Mr. Fisko doscrlbod how the western cons

MAYOR BEMIS DETERMINED THE MOVE

Ho Held by the City Until Do-

nlto 1'roccodlng.
City Attorney Connell decided yesterday ,
after looking Into the matter thoroughly ,
that the triangular ploca ot land containing
about'-'CO acres nnd situated on th ) rlvor
bank just south of East , Omaha was the
property of the city , and not tno Union Pa-
clllo Uiilway company. A diagram of the
pint of ground was prepared by City En
gineer Hosowater , nnd nlong wltn Mr. Con-
noil's decision laid baforo the maydr. In
compliance- with n decision roachoJ nttor a
consultation with the engineer nnd the city
attorney , Mayor Homls yesterday morning
ordered the land In dispute to bo fenced In.
Street Commissioner \Vludipjar w.xi rather
expecting tbo order , and whou it reAched him
early yesterday morning was ready with a
force of thirty men and several wagon loads
of material to commence work nt onca.
Once on the ground tno laborow turned to
nnd worked rapidly. The llr.it post was
planted nt tha foot of Cumin ? stwat and a
line of posts placed In position to the north
ward ns fast as possible. When the work
men laid off at noon-tliiio they had about
1,530 foot of yellow pine boird fence , llvo
feet high , in position.
KntcriMl Form-it Objection.
Some Union Paclflj employes happened
along about this time and when they niw
what was going on , hastened to tbo railway
company's headquarters -nud reported the
matter. This brougnt William Canada of tbo
Union Pacific land department to the scene
nsfnitns ho could travel. Ho was accom
panied by a clerk nnd throe or four yardmon.
Mr. Canada approached Street Commis
sioner Windspcar , who was still on tbo
ground In charco of the work , and notified
him "ofllclally" that ho was a trosspassor
nnd would bo hold responsible , nnd concluded
his llttlo speech by ordering Windspsnr , his
men and material off the ground. The bluft
didn't work on Wlndspoar , however , who
merely replied that ho was acting under
orders from the mayor mid city attorney and
did not Intend to stop until the work wns
completed or ho was ordered to do so by the
courts. The carpenters returned to their
work and Canada loft , saying that ho wa *
going to got out an Injunction.
In snlto of tbo rain the work progressed
fairly well , but not as rapidly as bad been
expected.
The land being fenced ) n is Just north of
the old water works pumping station mm In
the form.of n letter V , made so by two sid
ings ; thus tbo fence does not cross nny of the
rnilrond tracks. .
Windsponr stayed oa the ground all day
and saw that the work was pushed rnpjdly
forward. Ho wanted to bo on hand any wny
If there wns n chance for n fuss , ns it wns
thought nt ono time thnt the Union Pacific
might send a gang of men out to tear down
the fence already up.
All through the long , wet afternoon tbo
men worked , and at quitting time hud 1,030
feet of the long fence in place. Up to 0
o'clock , when the men lolt the ground for
their homos , Canada haa not showed up with
his'threatencd injunction.
Wliut the I.iuvycrH Say.
General Solicitor Thurston was seen last
night by a representative of Tin : BEE , but
declined to disclose the course which would
bo pursued by the corporation ho represents. *
Ho dd | say. though , th'at no force would bo
used by the Union Paciflc employes to dnvo
the men from their work or to tear down
the long yellow wall of plno boards.
City Attorney Connell suld last nigbt that
if the railroad company had a bettor claim to
the land than the city it would hnvo to go
into tbo courts to provo it. The city attor
ney further said that the land In question
was the northern key to the city , and was of
great value and would be especially so if
another railroad desired entrance into the
city.Street
Street Commissioner Windspoar was
rather pleased with his day's labor , though
he said that the heavy rain greatly retarded
the work. The material for the completion
of the fence is nil on the ground nnd the work
of erecting tbo fencing will bo continued
today ,
Two regular police officers nnd several of
tbo street commissioner's men guarded the
fence and material all night.

Mr. C. S. Mullen IlcslKiix IIlH Position With
the Union I'ucllio Hallway.
The rcslgnntion of Charles S. Mellon ns
general traffic nianagar of the Union Pacific
is a surprise in railway circles , though a few
intimates profois having known that ho had
contemplated such a move for a considerable
time back. Tbo resignation will take effect
April 1 , and Mr. Mellon has accepted the
general managership of the Now York &
New England railroad.
Tho'near approach of the annual meeting
of the Union Pacific stockholders and the
rumors of a probable change In management
lead some railroad men to conclude that Mr ,
Mellon has improved an opportunity to an
ticipate a olg revolution in tbo olllco buildIng -
Ing ut tbo foot of Farnam street.
On the other hand thoso.wbo stand closest
to Mr. Mellon assort positively that the
change was made soUly for family considera
tions. Ho had been living ii Bosto.i before
joining the Union Pacliioforco , und bis fam
ily did not tuko kindly to the tar west. As a
matter of fact their homo was made In Chicago
cage , With an offica In Omaha and a homo
in Chicago Mr. Mellon was lorccd to spend
much of bis time at New Ycrk and other dis
tant polnU. His friends explain that ho long
contemplated u return to tbo east nnd tbat-
the change- now announced Is simply la line
with his desire and has noslgnlllcunt bearing
upon any Union Pacific policy.
Mr. Mellon himself Is said to have been
well pleased with the west , and it Is thought
In some quarters that the death of his wife ,
which occurred last Sunday , may lead to the
withdrawal of bis resignation , but as ho bus
accepted another position that Is hardly
probable.
ThosuccessorsMp is of great Interest in
railway circles , but Its yet it teems to bo
only n matter of speculation nud very vague
at tbat. General Manager Clark Is ex
pected in tbo city this week nnd may on-
nounco a now traffic manager , but as the an
nual meeting Is only n mouth distant the an
nouncement may bo delayed until after tbat
event transpires.
A Union Pacific- official who has closely
followed tbo trend of tbat road's affairs for
many yeura expresses the opinion that the
traffic managership will bo abolished as a
distinct office ,
"Tho most thoughtful railroad men. " ho
said , "havo coma to tno conclusion that a
traffic manager is a fifth wheel. The general
freight and the general passenger agents are
his subordinates , and have to refer a great
many things to him for bis approval or rejec
tion. Tno traffic manager's business calls
him awny from headquarters a great deal ,
nnd it has been tbo experience of the Union
Pacific tbnt ills action on importnut mutters
has of lea been delayed two weeks. This Is a

nickels in that sheet ( for the purpose , uu
doubt , of reading something about the lire
and tbo tragedy ) only found a lively nows-
Doy , for they didn't Hnd the matter looked
for. Lot us consider that nowsb iy for a mo
ment , i happened to DO on the street , atC)0 : ! )
Sunday moruing. out found Farnam street
and other usually busy thoroughfares de
serted , and it was fully 7 o'clock before
thcro vas any stir. But , sny tno boy began
to scllatG0 : ! , from that tlmo until 0:3'J : la
three hours 180 minutes. In this time , If
tbo item is correct , the newsboy mentioned
sold 4E > 0 papers. This Is nt tbo rate of ex
actly two and one-half papers per minute , or
one every t\venty-four seconds. Any man
who has over bougut a daily paper Irom an
Omaha newsboy nnd watched him fumble
for the copy wanted nnd then waited while
the boy mentally calculated the dldorcnco
between the price of tno paper und the dime
or quarter handed him In payment nnd
counted back the change , will understand In
n decree the marvelous accomplishment of
this truly wonderful news buy.
There is Irttlo doubt that the item was
written bv the circulation editor. * .
