WASHINGTON, March Is. - Secretary
WINDOWS attention was to-day called to
newspaper statement that he was over
ruled in the matter of the appointment of
Assistant Secretary Batchelder. The story
was that he had rendered the place to ex-
Assistant Secretary Coon and that the lat
ter had accepted it and that the appoint
ment of Mr.. Batchelder was in di-
rect opposition to his wishes 1t
was further stated that Mr.. Batch
elder was ex-senator Platt's man,
and would have control Of the treasury
patronage. Secretary Window said he did
not usually notice newspaper criticisms, but
that this was SO unfair and misleading that
he did not like to let it go unchallenged.
AS matter of fact, he said, the President
had specially referred this appointment to
him and had acted in accordance with his
recommendation in appointing Mr.. Batch
elder.
NEVER rendered TO COON.
1t was true that Mr.. Coon had been con-
sidered in connection with this office He
was regarded as possessing excellent quail
ncatlons for it by reason Of his knowledge
and experience. 1t was never rendered to
MIN, however, and consequently he bad not
accepted it. The appointment of Mr..
batchelder was made after careful
consideration and was in no sense
a reflection upon Mr.. Coon. Secretary
Window said that it was absurd to say that
any assistant secretary would have control
OF the treasury appointments. That was
matter entirely in the hands of the Presi-
dent and himself, and was not likely to be
relegated to any other official The secre-
tary said that SO far as he knew, Mr..

Buried Treasure Unearthed.

The people at Friar's Point, Miss, are
much excited over the discovery of hid
den treasure, and crowds were recently
out digging, as if the town was gold
mine. One morning when the steamer
Belle Memphis arrived at the town, the
passengers saw a fisherman and his two
little sons "grubbing" in the loose loan
a hundred yards below the wharf boat.
Soon afterward the boys rushed up to
their father at the landing, and showed
him several dingy pieces of metal that
they had found. The fisherman saw that
they were twenty dollar gold pieces, and
ran to the place and began digging. The
passengers on the boat followed, and the
spot was soon alive with eager miners.
Pocket knives, parasols, and fingers were
the tools used, and they yielded rich re-
turn. The fisherman got about 5000. A
lady passenger secured $500, and Others
got smaller sums, the whole amount ag.
gregating several thousand dollars, all in
twenty dollar gold pieces bearing date Of
1859 and 1860.
The money was buried early during the
war by somebody unknown. Several
years ago wealthy planter spent about
$4,000 on excavations on Montezuma Bar,
some distance above Friar's Point, to find
treasure that was supposed to be buried
there. He failed in his attempt, but
managed to furnish another channel for
the river at that point. York Tines.

age and fathers under twenty-four have
children more weakly than parents of
ripper age. Their children are more SUBJ

est children are those whose fathers are
from twenty-five to forty years of age
and whose mothers are from twenty to
thirty years old. M. Korosi says, and

Haytl's War.

While war'ridden Haytiis struggling for
peace the merchants here engaged in COM
merce with Haytian ports are figuring
losses and gains of the eight months re-
bellion. New York is gamer by Hay
tbs losses from all accounts, since most of
the arms, ammunition and provisions have
been exported from here in exchange for
coffees, logwood, and other products of
the little island
A merchant who has had commercial
relations with both north and south Hayti
for years said of the situation recently:
"The rebellion is over by this time with
out doubt. Hippolyte will probably be
the next President, and 1 have reason to
believe he will make good one, as Hay
tian Presidents go. Legitime with either
settle down in Cuba or he may come tie
New York. At all events, he will leave
Port au Prince, if he hasn't done so be-
fore this.
"The cost of the war cannot be esti-
mated exactly, but l am convinced th&
the entire losses, including damages to
property, expenses of the army, arms,
provisions, everything, will not be far
from Sc, 600, 900 or So, 900, 900, and this
is putting it at a small figure. Fully two
thousand persons have been killed in one
way or another, and several of Haytis
best men are gone. Take, for instance,
General Thelemaque, who was killed at
the beginning of the war, in the street
fights at Port au Prince. It's been bad
war. Hayti won't recover for years from
the losses to her crops, and the Hayti cof-
fee market is practically done for for the
present season. They have sold their log
wood, coffee and everything to buy arms,
uniforms and lot of useless stuff that
won't be worth cent to them now that
the trouble is over"
The downfall of Legitime means the re-
call of Minister Stephen Preston, dean of
the Washington legation, and Hayti's
representative to the United States for
seventeen years. Minister Preston did all
in his power to sustain Legitime and still
has faith that his cause may not be dead,
as reports and circumstances seem to in
dicate.-Neo York Commercial Adpertiser.
