Treasure TroYe.

A tin can filled with melted mass of
silver weighing about eight pounds was
found last week by quarrymen near
Ronda, Texas, buried about two feet be-
low the surface in the banks OF creek
some twelve miles from the Red River
While Texas was yet Spanish province
a road known as the Santa Fe trail ran
along beside the Red River, and it is sur
missed that the silver was buried by some
traveller who was hard pressed by In
dians, and who either was killed or who
could not afterward locate his buried
treasure. The trunk of an old saddle,
found near the same place a short time
ago, was probably part of the same way

TRIUMPH OF TaE woRKINGMRN.

The Sunday closing fight is etill on
with great vigor, with the advocates OF
the opening of Jackson park on that
day largely in the lead. 1t would be a
great wrong msny wise mon, including
many bishops of different denomina-
tions, think, TO prevent hundreds Of
thousands of workingmen from the en-
joyment and instruction involved in o
continuous study of tie great exposition.
Since it has been opened the enormous
attendance shows how great conven-
fence it is to hundreds of thousands.
On the first day of the Sunday opening
fully 200 900 visitors showed their sppre-
citation of the new departure. All that
seems to oppose it ie the extreme relig-
ious sentiment of number OF highly
respectable persons who carry religion
to the extent Of fad. The advocates
of Sunday opening have won their drst
battle in the courts. and it may be
safely assumed that there has been 8
great change Of sentiment on the whole

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

Proceedings Yesterday of the World Q
Fair Committee.
The Los Angeles county worlds fair
committee met at the chamber of com.
merce rooms yesterday evening.
Mr.. Charles Forester, the chairman,
reported that the county worlds fair
funds were in satisfactory condition,
and that all demands incidental to the
shipment of fruit and other expenses
also would be readily met.
A number of bills were audited and
acted upon.
1t was reported that, judging from
present indicationa, some of the coun-
ties would be unable to meet their as
sessments on the publica ton OF the new
book descriptive of Southern California
that will be soon issued. The commit
tee resolved to proceed and collect from
the countieh that could pay, and those
which were delinquent would not be
mentioned in the book.
Mr.. Forester was given an unlimited
leave of absence to go to Chicago. He
was also authorized to confer with Mr..
Frank Wiggins as regards the future
shipments of oranges to replenish the
citrus exhibits. Other matters will also
be adjusted.
A meeting of the members of the
chamber of commerce and the public
generally Is called for next Wednesday
afternoon at O'Clock at the chamber OF
commerce for the purpose OF discussing
the best means of proceeding with the
holding of the irrigation congress here

uing TO be recognized in many quarters
that were at fret adverse 1t. In the first
place, IN addition TO the positive and
downright instruction involved in the
opportunity afforded multitudes by the
Sunday opening, there is no doubt but
that in this manner myriads OF persona,
who must have amusement of come
kind on Sunday, will be kept from seek
ing it In less Innocent ways. It hard
30 conceive Of anything more calculated
TO refine the mind and lead Ii to
elevated thoughts and decorous action
than the frequent contemplation OF the
highest achievements OF art and science.
In the grand ensemble OF the exposi.
tion religion will by no means be ne
elected. All the great conceptions OF re-
ligious minds will be represented; and,
altogether, the effect cannot fail to be
most salutsry. There is no reason why
the most fanatical views of the Sunday
should be forced into prominence in the
United States. This Is above all things
a cosmopolitan nation. 1t was deter
mined from the start that there should
be no doctrinal bias given to our insti
tutions. Jew and Gentle are on q pre-
cisely similar footing When it was
proposed to insert in the constitution
recognition OF Almighty God the propo-
sition was negatived not because most
OF the members Of the convention that
framed that instrument did not believe
in Supreme Being, but because they
we're determined to keep church and
state separate. Nearly every year since
some pious gentlemen send in petitions
TO congress asking for an amendment to
the constitution which shall hold forth
the United States to the world as a
Christian nation. They have never
been able TO impresa their views ON our
lawmakers, and it is very doubtful
whether they will succeed in closing
Jackson park on Sunday. Religion is
really revered in the United States, but
its ianatical aspects are disappearing.

of their patriotic acts to fade into o0llv-

thoae who have fought and died that
she might live is unworthy Of place
among the nations OF the earth. The
poet, the painter and the orator have all
Joined to perpetuate the deeds OF vaior

dead upon whose tombs they come to
lay their floral offerings.
James Russell Lowell, when the
wounds of war were fresh, expressed in
finer lines than have since been written
the high sense of love we owe to the men
who laid down their lives for their conn
try at the call of duty. In his Commem-
oration Ode, recited at Harvard in 1855,
he said:
Many loved Truth, and lavished life's best oil
Amid the dust OF books to find her,
Content at last, for glerdon OF their toll,
With the cast mantle she hath left behind
her
Many In sad faith sought for her,
Many with crossed hands sighed for her
But these, our brothers, fought tor her,
At lifes dear peril wrought for her,
So loved her that they died for her,
Tasting the raptured fleetness
OF her divine completeness
Their higher instinct knew
Those love her best who to themselves are true,
And what they dare to dream of, dare to do;
They followed her and found her
Where all may hope to find,
Not In the ashes OF the burnt-out MIND,
But beautiful with dangers sWestness round
her,
Where faith made whole with deed
BreEthes Its awakening breath
Into the Hfeless creed
They saw her plumed and mailed,
With sweet, stern face unveiled,
And all-repaying eyes, look proud on them In
death.
The ceremonies today will be of the
most touching character, and every
Goods acre" in our city will be visited
by the surviving veterans and crowds of
civilians to pay just tribute to the
memory OF the men who braved the bat

Illegally, as county official, held them
In trust and In consequences the action
is not barred.
At the conclusion of the arguments,
the court stated orally that he took the
view that the claims were illegal, and
the supervisors had no authority what
ever to allow them or the county audi
tor to issue the warrants.
But he also held that
the only action that could
be maintained on the pleadings
was for money had and received, in
which case all claims in which more
than two years have elapsed from the
time of payment would be barred by the
statute Of limitations.
Consequently the claims should have
been aet out in the first count specific
ally by District Attorney McLachlin, in
whose term the suit was brought, 30
that the court would be able to deter
mine which were barred and which were
not.
The court therefore overruled the de-
murrer as far as the second count was
concerned, which involves the $952.38
before mentioned, and sustained the
demurrer as to the first count, with
leave to the plaintiff to amend by set
ting out the claims in detail.
This decision was made solely on the
ground of the statute of limitations, the
court holding in both counts that the
claims were illegal and unauthorized.
In the amended complaint an effort
will be made by the plaintiff to remedy
the defects of the original complaint, so
as to bring the whole amount within the
necessary limit, and recover judgment

THE BANBURY CASE AND JUDGE VAN

Judge Van Dyke yesterday delivered a
very interesting opinion in the case OF

this ex-county treasurer, who had the
gall to bring libel euit against the
HERALD for $4,000 because 1t defeated
him for Office by telling OF his miadeeds,

him to recover the money which he had
appropriated to his own ues, set up the

to be barred by the statute OF limits.
tions. This was confession by the old
fox that he knew that he had violated
the law and was in great danger of being
made to disgorge his ill-gotten plum
der. The fact that Judge Van Dyke, q
iurist OF great note, substantially en-
dorses the attitude of the HERALD is one
OF great significance.
The court took the view, expressed
orally, that the claims were illegal; that
the supervisors had no authority what.
ever to allow them, or the auditor to
issue the warrants.
But he also said that the only action
that could be maintained on the plead
ings was for money had and received !;
in which case all claims in which more
than two years had elapsed from the
time payment was due would be
barred by the statute of limitations.
Consequently these claims to be col
lected should have been set out in the
first count of the complaint specifically,
by District Attorney McLachlan, so as
to enable the court to determine which
were barred and which not.
The court, therefore, overruled the.de-
murrer as far as the second count was
concerned, which involves $952.3S, and
sustained the demurrer as to the fret
count, with leave to the plaintiff ia
amend, setting out the claims in detail
The decision was made solely on the
ground OF the statute of limitations, the
court holding in both cases that the
claims were illegal and unauthorized.
In the amended complaint an effort
viii be made to remedy the defects OF
of the original, if possible, so as to make
the entire amount collectable under q
new construction Of the statute of limi
tions.
o! couree this means that the HERALr
has won its fight. The idea that a man
like Bsnbury, who had deliberately sp
propriated money that did not belong tc
him, and who violated a statute that in.
volved the commission of perjury, shoult
be able to turn round and collect dam

ONE of the lawyers for the Chinese Six
companies hss been permitted to trun-
pet to the country, through an associated
press dispatch, the sensational asser-
tion that the Chinese government has
already notified the secretary OF state
that it will meet the enforcement of the
Geary law with cessation of all rela-
tions, commercial and otherwise, with
this country. All the truth there is in
this bluff one can put in his eye. The
Chinese government is not inseneible
enough to its own interests to cut Off
commercial relations with the United
States. The balance of trade between
the two countries is tremendously in
favor of the Celestial empire. Ita teas
and silks sold to this country are
only Offset by few shipments OF
-four and lively expectation Of Con-
necticut cheap clocks. We have not the
figures before us, but 500 100000 would
not more than cover the advantage China
has over ne in this respect. Then, when
we take into consideration the fact that
about two.thirds of the eRrninge of the
Chinese in this country are sent to
China, we can readily conceive that
John Chinsman is not such dullard il
business affairs as to close all CONNER
cisl relations with US for the sake OF pre-
venting the coolies in the United States
