Washington. 1. C, March 28. The most interesting and precious historical documents that are to be exhibited at the World' Kair arrived here today. They include the original manuscripts, maps, charts, etc.. of Christopher Colum bus, which are owned by the Vatican. and loaned by Pope Leo. There are also the many valuable autograph letters of Columbus sent to this country by his lineal descendants. The documents in clude the original contract made by Col umbus with Ferdinand and Isabella by which he undertook to discover the new world, and also the original comariaaion issued to hi 1 before be undertook his voyage. The papers were of such value that Secretary of the Navy Tracy sent the United States gunboat Newark to Italy and Spain to bring -them here. The Newark arrived at Newport the other day, and word was sent to the World's Fair authorities to come and take pos session of the papers. Last night Win. tcb Resolution Passed T Washington, March 28. A lively po litical discussion will be the result of the resolution introduced in the Senate providing tor an investigation of the personal character of Senator William N. Roach of North Dakota. Senator Garmaa and some of the Democratic colleagues were surpised that such a res olution should have been introduced aiter the Senator baa been sworn in. The proper time, they think, would have been before he Qualified. This is the first instance in the history of the Senate, it is said, in which an in vestigation of Senator has been order ed after he has been admitted to member ship in that body, for offences committed many vears before he was elected to the Senate'. If the investigation commences there is no telling where it may stop. It is suggested by some of the Demo cratic Senators that charges might be brought against Senator Power of Mon tana, who is said to have been under an indictment prior to or at the same time of his election as a Senator. It is also intimated that the charges which the Republicans - have repeatedly made against Senator Quay may be subjected to an investigation it the Roach resolu tion is passed N. Y. Sun.

One Price System. E. Curtis and Lieutenant Crowell. of the navv. boarded the Newark and received the five big boxes. They were carefully loaded in a steam launch and transferred to one of the Potomac river boats run ning to Washington. Messrs. Curtis and Crowell would not trust the boxes out of their sight, so they were placed in a stateroom where the two officials slept with them over night. On arriving here this morning the boxes were put i one of the caged wagons of the express com pany and carefully transferred ta the safe deposit vaults. On Saturday morn ing Mr. Cm tis will sturt for Chicago with the documents. He will occupy one of the paycars of the Pennsylvania rail road, and Secretary Lamoat will detail a guard of United States Soldiers to ac company the car. Wre fsmciilimllar Packed. Three of the five boxes areof cedar and the other two are pine. They are smoothlv finished, with the lids and sides screwed together and the corners and edges bound with sheet iron. Each box ban been wrapped in glazed leather to protect the contents from moisture. The leather was removed today, and several of the lids were removed. The papers have been packed with the ut most care in cotton batting and tissue paper. The documents are over 100 in number and include most and. in tact, all of the fully authenticated original documents of Christopher Columbus. There is the original commission from Ferdinand and Isabella dated Grenada. April 30. 1492. appointing Columbus Grand Admiral ot the ocean, sea and Vice-King and Governor-General of at! the lands that be should discover. There are also the va rious royal letters patent granting li cense to the seamen who (iccompanicd Columbus, and directing the inhabitants of Palos to furnish Columbus with two caravels and all the necessary equip ments and provisions for the vovage. There is the boll of Pope Alexander VI., granting to the sovereigns of Spain all lands discovered bv Columbus dated at Rome in 14-93. There are the decrees from King Ferdinand granting a coat of arms to Columbus, and letters from th King and Queen congratulating him upon his discovery. WTtll ofColambns. One of the quaintest documents is the original will of Columbus, in which he confers the right of succession to his son Diego' There are from twenty to thirty autograph letters of Columbus written in full bv him and signed with his quaint and almost unintelligible signature. The papers are yellowed with their 400 years of age and their edges are worn and tagged. In some of them the creases have made abrasures and have broken the paper. The writing has faded on some of the documents, but on the others it is well preserved, and on a few of them the ink is as clear as though it had been made within recent years. Altogether, these documents will form the most valuable historical collection at the World's Pair. Cincinnati Tribune. Light XOoas oat Opera Haass Barn ad. McKeksport, Pa., March 31.

Glenn has seen the President and received the statement that the Western District Attorneyship has not been de cided. The claims of the competitors will receive due consideration.

He declares tha1; he does not know how the attomevship matter will end. hut seems as cheerful ns ever. Mr. Glenn also thinks his case is in good condition, but. like Mr. Hlias, indulges ia no lurid horoscope.

"Well, I'm glad to hear that," wis Mayor Blanton's remark whenTHR Cit izen told him yesterday afternoon of Gen. P. M. B. Overpay Young's appoint ment as minister to Guatemala and Hon duras.

Matv-Flv a Mlnate. The speed with which the pavers on North Main street put down the bricks is a source of wonder to the people who pass that way and stop to look on. There are two colored men, Eugene Jones and Ed. Coleman, in Superintendent Briddell's force who have a record of 65 brick each per minute. Jones, when he made his speed trial, made three stops to throw out bad bricks. But for this interruption he would probably have pat in 70 bricks. GRANT'S PHARMACY.
