Discovery Of Old Coins.

The London Times of June 2 says:
The discovery of treasure made in
Aberdeen on Monday having been
brougt under the notice of the crown
authorities, the Queens remembrancer
instructed the procurator fiscal of the
city TO claim the bronze urn and its
contents on behalf of the Queen. The
owner of the ground OH which the find
was made refused to give it up. but the
authorities insisted upon it, and it has
now been handed over to the crown.
The coins have been cleared of the YER
digris with which they were incrusted
and examined by local numismatists,
who discovered that they are of various
dates and belong to various countries.
English coins of the reigns of Edward
|. and II. predominant, but there are
also Scotch coins of the reigns Of David
and Alexander. In addition there is Il
considerable number of French coins and
NNNlNSlflNAINAti 3itpiftfNs ~ 4 bNul-
inc miters and stats. The coins vary
in size from Il modern threepcnny piece
to a shilling. TWENTY-FIVE weighed an
ounce. and it is calculated that the to-
tai number found was from 10000 to
$4,000; but "A great many were removed
before the finder realized their value.
Several of the coins have been analyZed
by the professor If chemistry in Aber-
teen university, who stated that the
tolerabiy clean coins yielded in 100
parts 1888 of silver and 1912 of cop
per. The composition is therefore
nearer to that Of French coins than of
English. The Edward coins have an
inscription round the outer edge on the
diverse side, with a clear cut head
wearing an open crown. On the re-
verse side there is also an inscription,
and the coin is marked with the strong
" defined cross peculiar 10 the quarter
money. In the acute angles formed by
the cross ~trefoils are placed. Another
coin has a crowned head in profile in
closed in a triangle IN the diverse side
and an inscription, while on the re-
verse side it is almost similar to
that before described, with the excep-
ton that stars are substituted for the
t~refoils. Most Of the money is of this
description, but numismatists state that
there are several exceedingly rare coins
among the number. 1t is estimated
that the coins were of about the same
value as soyerelgns are now. There
are several theories as to the circum-
stances under which the coins were
buried, but from the dates it is c%onjec-
tured that they were hidden about the
time of the battle of Barra, fought near
lnverurie between the forces of Ed
ward Of England and Robert Bruce. The
spot selected would at that date be on
the Aberdeen burgh boundary. near
what was known rs The Ghaists' row
on account Of its supposed nightly Wis
itation by ghosts. A bishops resi-
dence stood near the spot, and from
the fact that there vas no covering on
the urn it was conjectured that it was
buried hurriedly during a time of panic.
Another theory is that the coin formed
! part OF the money used to pay British
soldiers, and that it was left in the
flight which followed the engagement
with Bruce at Barra.

Miss Cleveland is not in the house.

President Cleveland's Income.

Washington special to lnter-Ocean:
President Cleveland, as several of his
predecessors have done before him,
keeps an account with Riggs q Co..
the bankers, and makes a deposit there
whenever he draws his salary. Usually
he sends over by Col. Crook, who is a
sort OF quartermaster at the white
house, an even $4,000, and keeps the
remaining $1.l66 for current expenses.
| am told that his bank account has
shown a balance as high as $4,000 Mt
one time. hut he made a check the 9TH
er day for s2l 800 in payment for his
new residence in the country, which,
with his wedding expenses, must have
made quite n hole in his pile.
The president is an economical man,
and his expenses have not been any
where neal AS great as those of Mr..
Arthur. He seldom entertains people
ut the white house, and while his Off
cial dinners have been elaborate, they
have been few in number, and the lunches
given by Miss Cleveland last win
ter TO ladies in official life were mex
pensive. Only four private servants
are kept by the president, the remain
der of the attendants at the White
House being paid by the government.
He has one pair of horses and IA driver
TO pay for, but he gets all of his forage
and household supplies from the quar-
termaster's department of the army at
contract prices, which are much lower
than other people have to pay. Mr..
Clcvelanu's wants are few, and he has
never had any eXtravagant habits. In
Buffalo he lived in a snit of two rooms
in 4 business block, and took his meals
ut a hotel, His friends say he had AM
income of from five TO seven thousand
Il year, and never spent o than q
third of it. When he WAS elected gov
ernor he was worth from fifty to sixty
thousand dollars. and he has been liv-
ing at the White House at a rate not to
exceed ten or twelve thousand, so that
he had added considerably to his
capital. His bride will bring him
about 100000, it is said, and rs he is
u prudent, conservative mar he will
leave the presidency worth u quarter
of a million or more.

A Speedy Change, for Better Worse, Ex-
pected at Galveston
GALVESTON, March I'm the Mallory boy
colt, affairs remain substantially unchanged to-
night, with certainty of an early change either
for the better or worse. Master Workman
Farmer and Executive Committeeman Donnelly
arrived here to-day, thus completing the mem
bership of the district executive board. This
afternoon they had private conference. last
ing two hours, with President Zealy, of the
Gulf, Colorado 81 Santa Fe railroad. and
afterwards called upon Captain Sawyer. agent
of the Mallory line. The executive board is in
close session tonight. The belief is entertained
in many quarters that the boycott will be ami
cably adjusted. There is no doubt that good
deal of dissatisfaction exists among the local
Knights. who are doing everything possible to
avoid general strike. The local press publish
statements to the effect that several Knights
who are contented with their present employ
ment would refuse to observe general strike
if so ordered. This is vehemently denied by in
dividual Knights and officers The test vote on
general strike will probably be had some time
tonight.

Comments Of ST. Louis Papers.

ST. Louis, March 12.-The Globe Democrat
referring to the railroad strike, says, editorialy
''There has not been single point in the contest
thus far at which legitimate issue between cap
ital and labor could have been presented for ar
filtration. The strike is based upon demand
totally unknown to the history of arbitration
and totally impossible as a thing to arbitrate
The commerce of this whole section was sud
denly and summariy paralyzed, and when the
real sufferers from this paralysis inquired as to
the cause, they were referred to district com
mittee somewhere in Texas"
The Missouri Republican says: 1.-THE purpose
of majority of these men in joining the
Knights of Labor was laudable one. The pur-
pose Of the organization itself is laudable one
Having joined, its members are bound by its
rules and its rules are not in conflict with our
written laws. These being the facts it does not
behoove any corporation to stand rigidly upon
its legal rights or upon the dignity of its ndi-
vidual officers when, by conference and fair
spirited negotiation, serious mischief may be
avoided Neither does it behooye the knights
OF Labor to 60 a step further in the contest than
to offer passive resistance If. in the face of
this passive resistance, the railroad companies
can succeed in securing sufficient number of
non union men to operate their roads. then the
Knights have nothing to do but to submit, as it
is demonstration that they measured forces
before they had sufficient strength to win"
