THEY MISSED 100000
How the British Government Let That
Sum Slip Thro' Their Fingers.

sum Snp Thro' Their Fingers.
All England is,deeply interested in
a new mystery-whatb became Of King
! Theebaw's crown Jewels and other
wealth when the British occupied the
palace in Mandalay, Burmah, after
the campaign of 1885.
This question has come up through
the death bed confession of private
in the West Surrey Regiment, who
declares that he and companion,
Private William White, secured all
or portion of these treasures and
hid them in a moat in the vicinity.
This statement has been made public,
and Private White has been sent TO
Burmah to help recover the treasure.
At the time of the British occupa.
tiou orders were given by the Gov.
ernment that the annexation of Bur
nah should be carried out peacefully
and without bloodshed, and every en-
| deavor was made to obtain King
Theebaw's submission. But he re-
fused to comply with the British de.
manda, and the troops were marched
from the tiotil,a to the palace walls
An assault was then made, and the
palace was occupied. Shortly after
Theebaw abdcated, and he and his
two wives were sent OFF by steamer
AS soon as the King had given his
submission guards were hurriedly
placed in the royal rooms to protect
the jewels of countless worth which
were known to he there. And great
was the British Disappointment when
it was discovered that the treasures
had disappeared. Among these mis-
sing treasures was gold calf weigh
ing several hundred weight, as well
as 4 portion Of the rega ia and guam
titles of precious stones The crown
is studded with rubes and diamonds
and is surmounted by peacock.
At the time suspicion rested on
the Burmah Ministers and the maids
of honor, and every effort was made
to trace the treasure, but without
avail. Now, after nine year,, the
whole subject comes up on this con-
fessiou of private soldier who was
present at the attack on the palace,
and who declared that he and COM
panion buried the stolen plunder be-
meath a sentry.box.
Theebaw's kingly wealth was in
disputable. lie had accumulated
from his ruby mines q most valuable
collection of stones, and his insignia
were set with diamonds of the rarest
SIC. What was known as his
betel-box was of pure gold, and tho
cover was ornamented with rows Of
rubies and diamonds, the center ruby
alone weighing thirty-nine and one
half carats. There was also in this
collection golden ever. made as a
receptacle for sacred water to be used
at the coronation. 1t was done in
the shape Of d crayfish, Of pure gold
and studded with Jewels.
The crown is also of gold and GOV.
cred with pearls and diamonds.
These articles, together W tn the
royal peacock and the Henza, were
present at all royal audiences and
were theron familiar to the many
agents and officers of the British Gov
ernment who had been admitted tc
Theebaw's presence. They were, In
fact, carried about with him.
Through all this picturesqueness
one can perceive an earnest pique
that Great Britain somehow failed to
gobble that thirty-nine carat ruby.

THERE seems to be great diversity OF
opinion among New York's dramatic
critics as to the ability OF the French
tragedian, Mounet-Sully, who is now
performing Hamlet and other parts in
the city of Gotham. One writer says
that "his action leads up to the belief
that he does not know the difference
between tragedy and melodrama,"
while another declares that he "does
not see how anybody who recalls Booths
Interpretation of the melancholy Dane
can sit the performance out" These
critics do not stop to realize, evidently,
that the player is essaying part written
in . language foreign to his own and
adapted by the younger Dumas; and
that any play, so written, must neceH-
ssrily suffer by translation, no matter
how able the sdapter may be. Even
Boucicault, who was the best French
scholar among all modern British drs-
matists. readily conceded this. Mounet-
Sully makes the prince an insane man
in the presence OF others, who shows
quite sanity enough in his solitude. Il
Ia quits likely that, in this particular
he voices Dumas rather than 1.-The i'm
mortal bard OF Avon"

Mr.. G. R. JoUeH1Ns, q master me-
ohanic on an eastern railway, recently
read paper before the New York Cen.
tral Railway club, in which he advo-
Gated the construction of tubular iron
freight cars, on the, ground that they
were more durable than those built out
of wood and less liable to com bustion
through proximity to burning car or q
prairie on fire. The writer did not
claim that the tubular iron car was per-
feet, by . good deal, but that it was
susceptible of improvement. The worst
festurs about it, hs said, was the in
adequacy of suitable provision for the
attachment of draft rigging. 1t is
claimed that a saving of Is to 18 per
cent in dead weight can be effected by
the use OF iron in preference to wood,
and the experience of steam vessels
with reference to draft OF water would
go far towards confirming that theory.
There are now over 100000 freight
cars in use, of which loss than 1000 are
built wholly of iron.
