Ruins Said To Be Those of Edifice Builtby St. Helena.

London. Sept. 24.— Recent excavationon the summit of the Mount of Olives, inthe grounds of the Carmelite Convent ofthe Pater Noster, hay» revealed the re-mains of an extremely ancient Christianchurch, believed to be those of one of tho

three first Christian iJhllWhai built in theHoly Land by St. Helena, mother of theEmperor Constantine, the others being theChurch of the Nativity at Bethlehem andthe Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

The walls first discovered Indicated achurch measuring some 150 feet from thewestern entrance to the apse. The floorof the nave is ?till buried, but that of the

transepts hay been exposed. It Is of mo-

saic work, perfectly preserved. In the

south transept Is a baptismal pool ortrough, and the -walls show signs of an-

cient paintings.

In the north transept some shafts ofcolumns have been found, and also two or

three tombs containing bones. One tornh-stone bears the name "Theodorus" In Greekcharacters.

Still more interesting is the discovery in

the chancel of two separate mosaic floor-ings of different designs. The lower flooris considered to b« that of St. Helena'schurch, dating from about 330 A. D. Thesecond floor may be that of a restorationof the church by the Crusaders. The cite

of this ancient church may be taken asthat fixed by the oldest tradition as to

where Christ taught His disciples "how ts

pray."

Financial Issues Strong.[By Cable to The Tribune. 1

Paris, Oct. I.—Firmness prevails onthe Bourse in all departments except

that of French rentes, which are having\u25a0 setback owing to th« statement madeby at Cochery, Minister of Finance, tothe Budget Commission, that he intend-ed to carry out the proposed incomeax bill, which a majority of FTC Hall

financiers consider inquisitorial, vex-atious and unprofitable. Itremains tobe seen whether Prime Minister Brlandwill fully indorse this project of theFinance Minister, which Is a concessionto the militant socialists inconsiderationfor the government's abandoning plansfor creating^ new state monopolies,which have worked so disastrously inregard to telephones and railroads.

The foreign bond market Is particular-ly 6trong. The financial situation InHew York is closely watched with aview to a renewal of French Invest-ments, which depend largely on thepromptness of the decisions of the In-terstate Commerce Commission. Frenchcapital does not seek speculation inmaking purchases of United States se-curities, but simply sound, permanentInvestments, and the prevailing opin-

ion of leading Paris bankers Is that themoment tor doing this has not yet ar-rived.

SUFFERED MUCH FROM COLDWynhalen Forced to Fiane 9,121

Feet to Earth.Mourmelon. France. Oct. I.—Henri

Wynmalen, the aviator, established anew world's record for altitude to-day,rising to a height of 0,121 feet. Theearlier best mark, of 8,409 feet, wasmade by the late Georgs Chavez.

Wynmalen rose until his motor failedhim and then made a perilous descent.He suffered intensely, and his excitingexperience was similar to that of LeonMorane, who on September 3 ascended8.271 feet, establishing a record thatstood until Itwas eclipsed by Chavez.

Wynmalen started at G:2S o'clock andwarmed up by circling the aerodromeseveral times, testing his engine. Wheneverything was working shipshape hegradually rose in a spiral course. At analtitude of 2,"»0O metres he encounteredbiting cold. His ears and fingers werenumbed by an icy gale that slashed hisface and checked ami at times drove backthe machine. Nevertheless, the aviatorcontinued the struggle upward. At aheight of 2,780 metres (9,121 feet) themotor stopped and there was nothing

left for Wjrnn to do but to plane

down to the <i t. This was accom-plished in thirteen minutes, but the de-scent required a battle with a windwhich threatened to dash the biplane to

the ground. The airman landed safely,

but was thoroughly exhausted. An ex-amination showed that the carburetorhad been frozen at the great altitude,

thus crippling the power of the machine.The flight was official and the recordwill stand.

Henri Wynmalen is a newcomer in theworld of aviation. He first attracted in-ternational attention on September 29.when at Bourg he rose to a height ofMM feet. It is notable that the most

sensational feats of aviation recently

have been accomplished by compara-!tively unknown aeronauts. The altitudeIrecord now to the credit of "vVynmalen

jwas held successively by Leon Morane!and George Chavez, the Peruvian avi-ator, who was fatally injured after hiaflight over the Alps and died lastWednesday. Wynmalen was born In

Holland in 18S0. He secured an avia-!tion pilot's license only last month.

When Ifirst arrived themotor boat Prinz Ludwig was lying mo-tionless in the middle of tho lake. No onewaa on boara. Suddenly a gun was fired onthe deck, and Isaw the screw begin toievolve and to drive the boat forward.Then Isaw the boat follow a zigzag course,

steered by some unseen power. There wereordinary rowing boats on the lake, andwhen the unmanned vessel approachedthem, she gave a signal by means of a bellto indicate whether she intended to portor to starboard, and the indicated coursewas carried out with absolute accuracy.Iwatched the manoeuvres of the un-

manned boat for a whole hour during thedaytime and again inthe evening, when thesignals were not given by means of bells,but by flashlights. At the end of thesetests the unmanned vessel was broughtto her anchorage by the same unseenfortes. These forces were emitted from asending station on shore to receiving appa-ratus on the Doat. These Hertzian wavessent from tho shore started and stopped theengine and controlled tne helm of the ves-sel. The willof the man who controls theelectrical waves on shore thus exercisesabsolute command over the unmanned ves-sel.

WAR MADE MORE TERRIBLEGerman Inventors Control Boats

and Airships by Wireless.London, Sept. 24—According to the cor-

respondent of '"The Standard,"

unmannedships, submarine vessels and steerable bal-loons, controlled and driven forward orbackward, steered hither and thither—han-dled with perfect ease by an invisible hand

on shore in the case of vessels and sub-marines and on the ground in the caee ofairships— ar© the latest production of Ger-man inventive ingenuity, and one moreterror has been added by the new deviceto the horrors of modern warfare.

Two Germans, the electrical engineerChristopher Wirth and the manufacturerChristopher Beck, have invented a ship

whose engine can be started or stopped andwhose helm can be controlled by the elec-

trical waves communicated without wiresto a receiving apparatus on board themysterious vessel by a sending apparatus

on shore, similar to that required for wire-

less telegraphy. By means of these electri-cal waves a gun on board tho ship can be

fired and signals can be transmitted, bothby flashlight and by bells. All these won-ders are possible within a radius of eigh-

teen miles from the wireless station onshore, which transmits the controlling

force to the vessel. The practicability ofthe new invention has been demonstratedby exhaustive experiments on the Dutzend-teich, a large expanse of water near Nu-remberg, with a motor boat, tho PrinzLudwig. An eyewitness of these testswrites:

This claim for Christopher Columbus

of celestial honors was favorably re-ceived by Piua IXand by Leo XIII,but

the pitiless scalpel of saintly investiga-

tions reveals certain moral deficiencies inthe character of Columbus, which, in theopinion of the advisers of Pope Pius X,

would make It impossible to Institutethe long and complicated process forbeatification with any chance of success.

Consequently, all efforts to place Co-lumbus among the saints recognized by

The statue of Sir Henry Irvingwillbein position opposite tho National Por-trait Gallery, and St. Paul's Cross, a

Dorif. column designed by ReginaldBlomneld, with Bertram MaeKennePsstatue of tho Apostle, willbe a conspic-

uous ornament In the cathedral church-yard.

The King's preference will probablydetermine <h» nature and form of theKing Edward memorial, for which sev-eral hundred proposals have been al-ready filed, among them a scheme for amonument-il chapel connected withWestminster Abbey.

The new quadriga will probably bemounted on Constitution Hill,an orna-

mental Leighton lamp will bo placed on

the Horse Guards* Farade, opposite thaForeign Office, and John Tweed's statueof Clive, already finished in clay, may

be on its pedestal at the western end ofCharles street, undem the shadow of the

India Office.

Arrangements for the coronation arealready !n hand, and efforts are being

made to improve the out-of-door setting

for that event. The Victoria me-morial b nearly finished, and will beunveiled before the coronation. Thestatue of Queen Victoria is already inplace and contrasted figures of mother-hood and truth are mounted.

The group of naval buildings designedby Sir Aston Webb, at the opening ofthe Mall into Trafalgar Square, is com-

pleted, bat it will hardly be possible to

remove three buildings at Charing Crossand regulate the approaches to the Mallbefore the coronation.

LOCKOUT OF 130.000 MENSeven Hundred Lancashire Mills

Closed-—

Intervention.Manchester, England, Oct. I.—The

Federation of Master Cotton Spinners

declared a lockout of 130,000 operativesto-day, and at noon closed the doors of

the 700 mill!" owned by its members.This tying v of the Lancashire indus-

try la the result of a trivialdispute aris-ing from the discharge of a single em-ploye at the Fern Mill,in Oldham. Thetotal number of men idle in England as

a result of differences between employer

and employe is now 200,000. UnlessGeorge Ranken Askwith, Controller Gen-eral of the Commercial, Labor and Sta-tistical Department of the Board ofTrade, Is successful in his effort to ar-range a settlement of the latest quarrel,

hundreds of other workinmen will bewithout employment next week.

George Howe, an employe of the FernMill, was dismissed because, under or-

ders from his labor union, he refused tocarry out the instructions of his fore-

man to clean the machinery which heoperated. Howe took the ground thatthe cleaning of machinery was not a

proper part of his work. A strike fol-lowed and arbitration was sought. Theowners of the Fern Millinsisted, how-ever, that before the dispute- was sub-mitted to arbitration work be resumedwithout the employment of Howe. Theoperatives, on the other hand, demandedthat either the mill remain closed untilthe arbitrators had rendered a decisionor that Howe be permitted to resumework temporarily with tho other men.

At this point the federation took ahand and threatened to-day's lockoutunless the Fern Millmen accepted arbi-tration on the terms proposed by theowners. The Cardroom Amalgamation

refused to yield, and after several con-

ferences hope of an amicable adjust-

ment was abandoned yesterday.
