NEW YcRE, Aug 49, The World
says: CaItain Thomas Simonds, Of the
hydraulic urclgs Lutte Giant, that is
anchored just outSiue III tie sound south
of Port Morris dock, was very serious
Friday. I'VE should hit it soon," he
said to his chief assistant. He had been
graphing day after day for something
like "a SOC. 900 lost with the British ship
Hussar. After the next plunge ol the
bucket about ons cubic yard of mud
was dumped uron the grating. When
the men began to sort and wash for the
treasure the captain saw something
yellow glitteriny III the sun AMI picked
1t up. 1t was al English guinea of the
time of George III. A half dozen more
Were found, then two gold buttons from
the uniform Of British naval officer.
The'next plunge brought up aquantity
copper coin. Captain Simonds' weather.
beaten face relaxed and he smiled. 1--WE
are right over the stuff, ann cock Ger
TAIN" said he, ''and expect to have all
of it very soon.r Then the bucket
brought up two short bars, which, ON
being scraped. proved to be sterling
silver. That ended the find for the day,
but it proved beyond doubt that Captain
Simonds has located the lost Hussar and
her enormous treasure, and is, perhaps,
on the threshold OF great wealth for
himself and family.

ments for the Monetary Conference.
LONDON, Aug. Heterogeneous for
the meeting Of the international none
tary conference are advancing. The se-
lection Of Dresden finds approval among
the English delegates. In regard to the
personael Of the English representatives,
Q prominent currency expert says that
Mr.. Currie is the strongest man ap-
pointed. He has no tendency whatever
toward bi-metalism; on the contrary, he
Is sound for single standard. Mr..
Currie is leading member Of the bank
ing firm OF Glynn, Mills, Currie u CO.,
besides being member Of the council
of India He instigated the Barring Bros.
settlement with the Bank Of England,
and IL otherwise known among financiers
as man Of firstrrate capacity. His APP
pointment Is said to have special signif-
icance for the American government, al
meaning that his influence viii overrule
any inclination of his codelegates toward
an arrangement satisfying America. Oh
the other delegates, Sir G. wv. Freemanti

SENATORS HOLD OVER.

No Elections Of Members Of the Upper
House In Minnesota This Year.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 15.-Attorney General
Clapp has rendered an opinion which
has direct bearing on the fall election
as regards members OF the state senate.
The opinion was made at the request of
L. A. Reed, chairman Of the Republic
can county convention of Hennepin
county, and for the purpose of deciding
whether or not members from the odd
numbered districts held over.
In giving bis opinion the attorney
general claims there will be no election
this fall for the reason that under legis-
lative enactment all members of the
senate hold over, making their terms
four instead Of two years. There had
been no question about the senators
from even-numbered districts holding
over, but there were those who con-
tended that the terms Of the senators in
odd-numbered districts expired this
fall. The senate consists Of twenty-six
Republicans three Of whom are classed
as independent Republicans), thirteen
Alliance and fifteen Democratic men,
bers. The Republicans must. under the
ruling, secure more than q bare major
ity Of the house in order to insure the
return Of Republican United States
eecafc.

ARMED THE PILOTS.

Rivalry Between Steamboats, Nearly
Responsible for Serious Casualty.
PEORIA, Ills. Ang. 15.-For some
6me there has been ineense rivalry be-
tween the steamers Borealis Rex and
fae City of Peoria, and matters reached
snch stage that the pilots of both boats
were armed with Winchester rifles and
Instructed to shoot on sight. Friday
afternoon the City of Peoria left the
dock first and was oyertaken at Spring
Hay by the Rex, which attempted to
pass The Peoria ran her into the will
lows and another attempt was made.
The Peoria bore down ON the Rex and
was about to strike her squarely in the
&de when the pilot of the Rex began
skpoting into the pilot house Of the
Psoria. The pilot escaped being shot by
1ying down ON the hoor. His captain
ran to the wheel and changed the course
of the boat just IN time to prevent col
heion. Both steamers were heavily
laden with passengers and great alarm
wxs felt. Both pilots were arrested and
placed under heavy bonds.

The Output Of the Carnngie Mills 60
Trifiing That II Will Not he Issued.
PITTsBuRG, Aug. lb.--The executive
committee Of the American Federation
Of Labor spent most Of the afternoon
and until q late hour In conference with
the Homestead advisory committee and
the officials Of the Amalgamated associa-
ton. As result President Gompers
gave out the following:
AFTER thorough investigation and re-
view Of the situation in Homestead and
the other Carnegie mills and conference
with President Weihe and other officials
of the association and on consultation
with the advisory board Of the Home
stead men, the executive committee of
the American Federation do not deem it
necessary at present to issue general
boycott Of the Carnegie work for these
reasons: The amount Of work turned
out in the Carnegie mills is Of so trifiing
character that it will be sheer waste
of effort to issue boycott. Added to
this the quality and small amount of the
product turned ont is so inferior that it is
hardly marketable and will result in q
greater loss of trade to the Carnegies
than would come from any boycott we
might now impose. Should it be neces-
sary to issue an order in the future to
let Carnegie products alone we win not
hesitate to do so. notwithstanding the
threats of the firm to use the conspiracy
laws against as. In declining to issue q
boycott at this time does not prevent all
sympathizers who are members to refuse
to nse Carnegie iron or steel, and at the
same time every dollar of financial aid
which can be raised should be given
freely to help this struggle Of Drawn

cold blooded. grasping avarice Of we'll

The Secret or Hardening Copper Disccv-
cred by q Quebec blacksmith.

rhe Secret or hardening Copper Discov-
cred by Quebec Blacksmith.
QUEBEC, Que., Aug. l5.-Local scien-
lists say that one of the most wonderful
discoveries Of recent years is tina, made
by poor blacksmith of this city named
Ferdinand Allard. II is the long lost
art known to the pyramid builders OF
Egypt Of hardening copper. Axes and
other edged tools made of hardened cop
per have boon exhibited by him, which
Ia edge and temper rival the best steel
|of the present day. Allard prepare q
sheet Of his hardened copper a quarter
Hof an inch in thickness and had it tested
|at the government rifle ranges here.
At the first shot fired from forty
yards distance, the bullet was
shivered into thousand fragments;
on the second the missile, striking the
copper more fairly, was completely fat
tened, but remained embedded in the
plate which it merely indented lightly
without cracking it in any away. This
Is claimed by experts to be vastly supe-
fior to anything the best steel could do
under like circumstances and the matter
4 to be brought under the immediate
notice of the British lords of the admi-
ralty. The leading military authorities
here express the conviction that il, on
Further trials in the. English dock yards,
the discovery maintains the same supe-
fiority, most important results must fol-
low and the existing systems be COM
pletely revolutionized.

DuN's TRADE REVIEW.
Crop Reports Not Up to Expectations
Corn aud Oats Snort.

Crop Reports Not Up to Expectations
Corn aud Oats Snort.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15.--R. G.. DUN 81
Co. 3 Weekly Review of Trade says:
Crop prospects are not quite up TO ex-
pectations and are construed as indica-t
ing deficient supply of corn and oats,
while any possibility OF q shortage in
wheat will be more than met by surplus.
The prices have advanced quite sharply
and domestic products fall below last
years. The great industries are all doing
remarkably well, except in she iron
manufactory, in which labor controver-
sizes have been partially settled and seem
likely to be wholly settled speedily.
Boston reports money stronger with in-
creased demand and the volume OF trade
larger than usual for the season. Chicago
reports sales greater than year ago and
receipts OF hides, oats and barley show
some increase, -four and cured meats 80
per cent. and Of lard decrease, while
some decrease appears In wool, cattle and
rye and third in wheat and corn and
30 per cent In dressed beef. Collections
are satisfactory there and throughout the
West. At ST. Paul threshing reports
promise an average yield and at Minneap-
oils business 10 good In all lines, especially
in lumber. Trade 10 improved OF Omaha
and collections never better; improving at
Kansas City with money In better de-
mand, and very good al Denver. At St.
Louis trade Is 0f fair volume, labor trou-
bles having been settled and collections
are more prompt than usual. Southern
reports show general improvement in
trade at Little Rock, at Memphis, ut
Montgomery and at New Orleans, but at
Galveston collections are slow and at Sar
van ,ah money Is reported tight. Stocks
were strong most OF the week The treas
ury has taken In 100000 more gold and
silver than It has paid out, while lessen
ing the volu me OF notes in circulation &1,-
100000, but money is abundant aud cheap.
Business failures during the last seven
days number for the United States 100,
Canada 20, total ls9, as compared with lSi
last week, and 1893 the week previous TO
the last, and 227 for the corresponding
week of last year.

CARTHAGE, Mo-. Aug. 15.--A suit has
been commenced here of much concern
to all horsemen and their trainers Last
September John Kingston was travelling
on the Western circuit with horse. and
going from Hutchinson, Kan, to Wich-
ita, claimed the right to travel free as
an attendant ON his horse The conduc-
tor ON that branch Of the Missouri Pa
cific railway demanded payment of fare
and made threats to fix him. Kingston
claims that afterwards he offered the
conductor his fare and it was refused,
but on reaching Wichita the conductor
had him sent to jail, where he remained
over night. For heaping this indignity
upon him Kingston sues the Missouri
Pacific for SIC, 900 damages.

Amalgamated Association Will Not
Institute Boycott on Carnegie
at Present.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. l5.-The
switchmen in the Lehigh Valley, the
Erie and the Buff llo reek yards, in this
city, went out os. I. ,srike at midnight
for a ten-hour day rne strike was or
dered by Grand Master Frank Sweeney
and will extend over the entire system
Of the roads and probably spread to
other roads with terminals here. A
meeting of the switchmen was held
during the evening at which Grand
Master Sweeny was present. The griev-
ance of the men was discussed and it
was decided that a strike was advisable
and Mr.. Sweeney issued the order.
An Erie employe. who seemed to be
well posted. stated that the men are now
doubled up and this gives them twelve
hours continuous work day. The men
are paid by the month, counting twenty
six days q month, but have to work
twelve and often fifteen hours q
day. They demand that all time over
ten hours day shall be paid for
by the day as extra. The strike ID not q
sudden affair, but has been under con-
sideration for the past three months.
Plenty OF time was given the roads in
which to remedy the evil complained Of.
Failing TO receive the redress asked for
Grand Master Sweeney was summoned
with the result as stated. The men ex-
pect help from the switchmen Of other
roads, who will probably refuse to
handle cars from the roads mentioned
above.

man, well dressed fellows, attacked Con-
ductor G. d. Hutchins and came near
making off with the money in his pos
session. Had it not been for the inter-

would have been successful, but they
were driven off after leaving the con-
ductor almost insensible.

NEW YoRK, Aug. ID. "A fish story
comes from Elmira. While Miss Katie
Smuck, Of New York city, was bathing
in Lake Keuka, near Hammondsport,
Wednesday. and lying on the shore with
her feet near the water, large white
fish, rarely seen In the lake, weighing
over four pounds, jumped out of the
water and caught one Of Miss Smucks
great toes In its mouth, biting it quite
severely. The fish was caught by a
young man named Bradley, with his
hands, and taken home and cooked for
supper.
