AFTER HIDDEN GOLD.
To Investigate the Mystery Surrounding
 a Connecticut Cave.

n GOuU0CtACut C0V0s
 GREENFIELD HILL, Conn, June 12-Prep arations are being quietly made to begin again to dig for buried treasure in cave, tnat hos been the center of interest for many years, about five miles from here. From time to time mysterious nocturnal visits have been made to this c4se in years past, and various ideas are held as to just where the gold Is hidden, if there is any there at all. Ths people who are now getting ready to dig are keeping very quiet about it, and feel sure that the treasure can be found.
 The last work done was about a year ago, and there was great excitement at the time over the matter. The cave is in the neigh hood of Samp Mortar Rock, and when the last digging was done the farmers living in the immediate locality were considerably frightened at the movehents of the treasure seekers. The visits occurred at irregular in- tervals, always near midnight, and the fit ting lanterns and growls of a huge white dog which accompanied them, prevented any one from daring to nOlest or question their mysterious doings.
 The visitors approached the mouth of the cave from opposite directions, driving wagons up the gorge to the Assure in the face of the rock. The mouth or entrance to the cave Is so small as to barely permit the entrance of a mans body. On the summit of the huge rock, some 200 feet high, Is the ancient mor- tar drilled down into the solid surface wherein once a tribe of Indians ground their "samp" Hence the name Samp Mortar Rock. Upon either side of the sunken mor- tar are the indentures worn by the Indians feet where once the red man pounded samp and at the same time kept lookout. The view from this spot, with the feet resting in the two worn footsteps, is unobstructed for miles. Indian characters and hieroglyphics are to be found all around this wild spot Owls, bats, snakes and foxes are to be found here also.
 Such commotion was raised by the super stitious that finally Detectives George Arnold and Frank B. Taylor were prevailed upon to investigate the matter. Arnold is such big man that he could not squeeze his figure through the opening, but Taylor crawled in without trouble By the aid of matches he discovered that room fifteen feet square had been dug out, and that in depth it was beyond his means of measuring Arnold cut a fifteen foot pole and passed it in, but it would not touch bottom. The earth had been removed apparently with great diffi- culty, and passed up in buckets or baskets, and thrown out through the crevice. The officers said they could not account for the mysterious piece of work, unless by the sup position that some one was led on by dream or Q fortune teller to search for treasure, or that some one has revealed the place as a hiding spot for valuables buried some time since.

DIFFICULTY IN THE THROAT. Rumors About the Emperor's Health Found to ke Groundloss.

PoTsDAM, June 12.-Emperor Frederick passed a good night. The difficulty in swal- lowing which has troubled him for few days past has not quite disappeared. His appetite is better.
 Dr. Mackenzie, in the presence 0f DTS. Wegener, Krause and Bardeleben, yesterday inserted q new silver canula. The Emperor still experiences difficulty in swallowing. Early this evening his condition was slightly improved, but later he became feverish.
 The NATIONAL ZEr1UNG says :-"The inser- tion of the canula in the Emperor's throat causes difficulty beca lse the trachea has be- como so enlarged tha5 the tube no longer fills it completely, and pus coming from the upper part can thus flow into the air tubes. To prevent this rubber ring has been fitted on the canula so as to i'll, the space between the tube and the wall of the trachea. In order to remedy the dryncss of the throat arising from tho difficulty in swallowing the Emper- or takes frequent sips, day and night. of lukcwarnl milk and v.hiskey."

IN CONGRESS.

NIessrs. Woodburn and Cox Abuse Each
 Other for the Benefit of the House.
 Fisheries in the Senate.
 WASHINGTON, June 12-In the house yesterday afternoon MT. Woodburn, of Nevada, made a bitter personal attack upon Mir. Cox, of New York on account of his speech some time ago, in which he referred to Nevada as ''rotten borough" and ridi- culed Nevada's representative in congress. MT. Woodburn said that Nevada was clear of bribery; had not a Connolly, Sweeney, a Cardozo, Field or any Ingersoll, and 1t was to her credit that she had never produced Cox She needed no Canada on her borders to shelter thieves and political scoundrels.
 MT. Cox replied tartly, and after some sparring the matter was dropped.
 MT. Herbert, of Alabama introduced a bill providing for an assistant secretary of the navy.
 MT. Dougherty, of Florida, offered a reso- lution reciting the improbability of the pass age of the Mills bill at this session, and in- structing the committee on ways and means to report bills repeating internal revenue taxes except on spirits; providing for tax on incomes of over S5,O00, to be used for pensions exclusively, and placing on the free list all articles not manufactured or produced in the United States Referred.
 Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, offered resolu- tion assigning certain days in July to the consideration of pension legislation. He said that the Republican party, in its platform at Chicago, had pledged itself to liberal pen- sions, and the Democratic party, in its Chi cago platform, had also pledged itself in the same direction. But at the recent St Louis convention there was no promise or pledge of the kind. He voiced the sentiment of every man on the Republican side in demanding that time be conceded for the consideration of pension legislation. He wanted the coun- try to know that the minority was powerless to call up pension bill except with the con- sent and through the will of the majority, as expressed by the committee on rules Mir. Spinola, of New York, asked unani- nous consent for the immediate consideration of the joint resolution appropriating $25, 900 for the celebration of the twenty fifth anni- versary of the battle of Gettysburg, but Mir. Breckenridge, of Arkansas, who thought war celebrations in any portion of the country conducive of no good, objected. The house then adjourned.
 Mir. Stewart offered resolution in the senate yesterday, which went over, calling on the secretary of the treasury for @ list of bond purchases and names of the sellers. The credentials of Senator-elect Gibson, of | Louisiana, were presented.
 The senate then proceeded to consider the fisheries treaty, and Mir. Gray addressed the l senate in favor of it's ratification,
