The Hussar's Trsas,Ire

A letter has been received at the treasury
department from Mr.. Nelson Cross, who re-
presents the interests Of the Government in the
Ss5oOO,00o supposed to lie in the wreck OF the
British ship I1ussar at the bottom of East river,
saying that the work on the wreck is at a stand
sui, and that K. Thomas, the contractor, is
unable to proceed with it. Mr.. Cross makes
proposition to 60 on with the work himself on
On the same terms as the present contractor,
and without disturbing any acquired rights
He says that there are men of means who be-
lieve that the treasure exists, and who will
assist him to complete the search. 1t is n t
likely that any action will be taken on the pro-
position before the return of Secretary Folger.

A Good Idea,

The English Government is trying novel
experiment in life insurance. Policies for
sums not over f25 are now granted at any
Post Office Savings Bank without any medical
examination. Ii, however, AN insured should
die before the second annual premium be-
comes payable, the amount Of the first
premium, and no more, will be paid to his
representatives should the insured die after
the payment of the second, but before the
third premium becomes due, the representa-
tives will be paid only half the amount of the
policy. In case of death from accident, how
ever, the full amount is paid. After the pay
ment of the third premium the policy is en-
tiled to full benefit

city marshal arrested one for disturbance and
for carrying firearms. lie was knocked down
by the Indians, who mounted their horses and
started to leave town. Several citizens and
cattemen gave chase and running fight was

ceedsd in citing out of range. Some twenty
shots were fired by both sides, but no one was
injured MS far us known. The citizens have
asked for troops to keep the Indians on their
reservation and away from town. The cattle

the burning of their camping outfit. Ageneral
war between them and the Indians is imminent
unless something is speedily done to protect
their interests from thevng bands of Utes.

the former power agreed 10 expatriate the

America went into operation recently in Glove
