(This, the first of a series of articles on a highly interesting topic, conies appropriately at a moment when the problem of who really discovered America is experiencing a revival. These articles are specially written for the Daily Record by an unquestionable authority on Runiology and Norse tradition, and will appear consecutively until concluded.) The Daily Record of June 4th contained a com munication from its New York correspondent under the above heading, announcing the “find” of a stone bearing an inscription in runic characters which the writer seemed to regard as affording convincing testimony to the discovery of America by the Scandi navians before the landing of Columbus. The stone was discovered iir Wisconsin, and bears the date 1362. That the Norsemen were acquainted with por tions of the coast-line of the North American Con tinent previous to the voyages of Columbus is a well- established historical fact, but that this “find” is to be accepted as evidence of such is very questionable. In the first place, there is no evidence discovered as yet that these “hardy Norsemen” penetrated any distance into the “hinterland” in their voyages to the American Atlantic littoral. Even in these coast ing expeditions they had constant fighting with the Skrellings (Skraelinjar), or Indians, and experienced considerable danger and difficulty with them, not being possessed of the advantage against swarms of such, and their stategems, which the after dis coverers possessed in fireamrs. Then, further, if this Wisconsin stone is really a monument and re mains of Scandinavian exploration, it means that this band of forty “hardy Norsemen” penetrated at least five hundred miles, as the crow flies, from the coast, through forests and the lands of hostile Indian tribes, and left this token of their track and travels, and tale of their troubles, which has apparently been unknown and undiscovered during these five hundred and fifty years. Moreover, if the inscription is in runic characters, it is one of the longest known. These Scandinavian runic symbols, derived from ar chaic Greek letters through traders down the Rus sian river valleys to the Greecised Scythian tribes and Greek colonies around the Black and Caspian Seas, were not easy to inscribe, and such inscriptions are invariably short. The longest yet found is, in com parison with all known ones, an exceptionally lengthy one, viz.: The Rok-stone in Ostergotland, Sweden, circa A.D. 800-900, and consisting of seven hundred and sixty letters. This Wisconsin-stone inscription would consist of about three hundred and forty runic characters. The instance recalls the case of the Dighten-stone, with its inscription of supposed runic letters, Roman characters, and picture signs. It was copied as early as A.D. 1680, and in the last century was deciphered thus: “Thorfin, with one hundred and fifty-one Norse seafaring men, took possession of this land.” The best runic scholars and anti quarians have declared this to be without doubt of Indian origin. There have been many cases of “mis taken identity” in Runological research. The late Professor George Stephens, of Copenhagen, one of the world’s greatest Runologists, with indefatigable industry and the zeal of a true scholar, deciphered about 10,500 Runic inscriptions,—all, with the ex ception of 19 wanderers, in Scandinavian lands and the British Isles. It is hoped that the Daily Record’s New York correspondent will transmit further de tails concerning this “find,” one of the most im portant—if really Runic— in the history of Runic re search. Perhaps a rubbing could be obtained and (Continued on page 4.) C™!*IDQ a ^ vance ^ s tyl es w—now ready— AT POPULAR PRICES Retail and Wholesale.

THE EARTHQUAKE IN SOUTHERN FRANCE. Marseilles, June 14. As more detailed reports continue to arrive, it becomes plain that the earthquake on Friday night was a very serious affair. Serious loss of life oc curred, but the actual number of dead is not yet established. At Saint Cannat all the houses were badly damaged. The four outer walls of the church there completely collapsed. The populaoe is camp ing out in the fields. The victims of the shock at Lambesc were mostly asleep, when the catastrophe took place. All the streets in the town and sur rounding country are damaged. A woman having in her arms a five-year-old child was buried beneath the debris, and both were killed. Later. Sixty persons are now reported to have been killed and many other injured. The Prefect’s official report gives the following death-list: 14 at Lambesc, eight at Saint Cannat, two at Puy-St.-Reparade, one at Pelissane, and 12 at Rognes. The troops engaged in rescue work in the arrondissement of Aix have taken twelve bodies from the ruins. The churches at Ve- nelles and L’Equille have collapsed. Telephonic and telegraphic communication is practically destroyed in the earthquake district. At St. Cannat the houses are mere heaps of ruins. At daybreak on Saturday the Mayor ordered the in habitants to leave their houses, which they did with great expedition. The work of rescue at once began, and ten dead and many injured were soon recovered from the ruins. Rognes has suffered still more seri ously. SHOCKS IN SPAIN, PORTUGAL, AND ITALY. Madrid, June 14. Early on Saturday morning, and again before noon, more or less violent subterranean disturbances were experienced here. ' Lisbon, June 13. Several light earthquake Shocks are reported from various parts of the country. Genoa, June 13. On Friday night the entire district of San Remo was shaken by earthquake. The people at Valle- bona, Coldirodi, and Bordighera spent the night in improvised tents, and in San Remo itself hundreds of people sought refuge in the cafes. The shock was not violent enough to cause much damage. REPORTED JAPANESE PLOT AT HONOLULU. New York, June 14. A telegram from Honolulu received here yesterday reports that the local police, while making a .domi ciliary search at the headquarters of the Japanese labour organisation, came upon a number of docu ments which establish the fact of a Japanese con spiracy against the American administration of the island. Later. With referenoe to the Japanese conspiracy at Ho nolulu, it is reported from there that twelve Ja panese have been placed on trial for inciting to rebellion, and three for inciting to murder. The case is exciting great interest at Honolulu. London, June 13. The naval review at Spithead yesterday in honour of the Colonial press representatives was a highly successful and imposing spectacle. Hundreds of war ships were anchored in long lines, down which the special vessels conveying the visitors slowly passed, thus affording everybody an excellent view. The round was finished at the “Dreadnought,” which was boarded by the whole party. An attack on the mammoth battleship by submarines and destroy ers followed. This proved to be a most realistic affair, the submarines diving one side of the vessel and coming up on the other side. An inspection of the ship was made, and tea provided on board. The party afterwards returned to the harbour, pro ceeding to Whale Island, where they witnessed a sham fight by the naval men. A 4.7-inch gun was landed, together with 12-pounders. The defenders were driven back at first, but they rallied and even tually drove the invaders off, capturing some of his guns. A drive through the dockyard was the con cluding item, the return to London being made at 7 p.m. The naval manoeuvres which begin on Tuesday will continue for more than a month, and will be on a larger scale than any former exercises. The scene of operations will be the waters of the Eng lish Channel and North Sea. THE TSAR’S PENDING VISIT TO ENGLAND. London, June 14. The British Labour party, and some sections of the Radical party, are strongly protesting against the forthcoming visit of the Tsar of Russia to Eng land. A conference of 92 unions connected with the Independent Labour Party has just been held, at which King Edwad’s proposed reception of the Tsar was strongly condemned and a resolution in favour of a great public demonstration against the visit adopted. KAISER AND ENGLISH TUTOR. London, June 13. By command of the German Emperor, Herr von Haniel, Secretary of the German Embassy, has laid a wreath upon the grave of the late Mr. Gerard Fox, of Dibden, near Southampton, former tutor of the Emperor, and conveyed the sympathy of his Majesty for the relatives of the deceased gentleman. BRITISH AND GERMAN SCRIBES FRATERNISE. Cherbourg, June 14. The new steamer of the North German Lloyd, “George Washington,” arrived here last evening on her first outward voyage after a delightful trip from Bremerhaven. The average speed during the run was 18.1 knots. At Spithead the liner passed the as sembled British fleet anchored there, some 100 war ships in all. At Southampton forty English news paper men came on board, and were cordially wel comed in a short speech by Herr Heinicken. Greet ings were also exchanged between the English and German newspaper men, the latter being already on board, and an atmosphere of the utmost friendli ness prevailed, the spokesmen of both parties giving short speeches in favour of friendship between their respective nations.
