4 CURIOUS CROWN,
Found ssny Years Ago In the wiids Of
California.


A shot time ago Prof. Van der Nall
len OF ian Francisco received from
Henry suehler, OF Jacksonville, Ore, a
most STANCE and interesting curiosity,
says anexchange. A letter came with
II, statiig that Mr.. Buehler believed the
object D be some sort of a crown, but
would Ike some positive information
on the nbject. The letter went on 10
say ina the supposed crown was found
by the writer about thirty-five years
ago on his ranch in Tuolumne county
In Caiibrnia. AT the time he had been
living On the ranch about three years
and IL vas wild land when he got it.
There no record Of any one except
Indians ever living in the vicinity and
there isnot the vaguest possibility that
the WORK was done by them. The place
where the crown was found was most
curious one, and the circumstances
connected with Ii are strange and in
teresting. Mr.. Buehler states in his
letter that he was digging out large
sage brush that was in the way Of his
pillow. At the depth of about four feet
from tie surface, his shovel struck
what appeared to be boulder about
the sizeof mans head. AS the ground
about the roots was soft, he picked up
the lump and was astonished at its
lightness. A close examination showed
a piece OF shining metal sticking out
at one side. Taking his knife, Mr..
Buehlef scraped away portion and
could hardly believe his eyes when a
perfectly formed grape leaf, made of
bright Yellow metal. came to view. The
work Of removing that object from its
encasement was a task that occupied
several days. The substance surround
ing IL proved to be a composition OF
clay and gypsum, and incessant boil
ing and scraping with bits of soft wood
was necessary to get it off. Great care
was necessary, as the intricate mass
was found to be very delicate. When
Mr.. Buehler at last had the object in
his hand he had not the least idea OF
what it was, bat his few neighbors
agreed that ii vas crown OF some
hiHu, dIlHOuSH HODOuy WOulu dllclupN
TO explain how it came to be buried
among the roots of a sage brush. Since
then Hundreds of people have examined
It, but so fa- no satisfactory explana-
ton of its origin has been given.
Taken altogether, it is a most un-
usual Object 1t is hemispherical in
shape. about five inches in diameter
across the base, and made to appear of
interwovsn leaves of grapevine. The
leaves are most delicately and accurate
ly nodded all the veins showing plain
ly on both sides. Little punches of
grapes are scattered over the surface.
These are, in fact, the most curious
part Of it. They are purple in color
and made of a substance that looks
like Bohemian glass. Each grape is
fastened in the proper place by tiny
wire and all are bound together in a
perfect bunch. An analysis OF the
metal forming the leaves shows it TO
De composed of gold, silver and copper,
gold being nearly one-half of the COM
position. There must be nearly 500
worth of the precious metal in 1t.

REVIEW or TRADE.

That exports OF s5s1000O gold have produced
no monetary disturbance is AT once proof OF the
SOuudness OF financial conditions aud one OF the
prevailing confidence in better things to come.
Mucn OF the hesitation at present is due TO
temporarily reduced demand in some industries.
In iron and steel the general irreguarlty OF
prices and slacknoss OF demand for finished
products do not prevent the marking up OF
prices by combinations, but are largely due to
doubt whether such prices as are liked can be
maintained. Pig iron Is weaker and most fin
lshed products are weaker with remarkably
low demand. Minor metals are inactive For
textile manufactures the situation is trying.
Cotton mills have n fairly active demand,
though not equal TO their normal output. Trad
ers in wheat have lifted prices little, and yet
nobody questions the correctness OF western
reports indicating more than ordinary yield OF
winter wheat and unusual progress In the
planting Of spring. With the narrow stock
usual at this season. speculation for advance
always has many opportunities, but western
receipts are still 90 per cent larger than last
year, while Atlantic exports, -four included
are for the week g3i 667 Blu, against ,6l5O5l bu
year ago. Corn Is n shade lower. but without
definite reason. Wooden manufacturers find
prices OF wool sagging both here and abroad.

Presests Against the Proposed Execstton
OF the Competitor Filibusters.

Havana dispatches say that by a
court martial the crew of the American
schooner Competitor, which was cap
tured with a filibustering expedition on
board going to help the Cuban insur-
gents, have been sentenced TO be shot,
without civil trial. When this news
reached Washington, with the inform
alton that some of the men were Amer
can citizens the state department at
once protested against such sum
mary action and demanded that the
sentence be withheld and civil trial
be given the Americans according to
treaty provisions. This soon stirred
matters up at Havana and at Madrid.
A dispatch from the latter place says
there are evidences of growing popular
excitement in Spain over the attitude
of the u. :. government towards the
execution of the filibusterers captured
on board the Competitor. The news of
the capture of these men was received
with great satisfaction and rejoicing.
1t was felt TO be the first opportunity
. that had been offered TO make an ex-
ample of those engaged in feeding the
insurrection. The popular demand for
their execution is general, and is likely
to become vociferous. Little account
is taken of the refined questions of
treaty Interpretation involved in the
protest of the United States govern
ment against the execution of the sem
fences. The action of the United
States is regarded rather as an eX-
preston of sympathy with the insur-
rection, and there will be "a strong pop
ular clamor TO disregard it. The Span
ish government is willing to consider
the demand, and has cabled to Capt
Gen. Weyler to delay the executions
pending the result of negotiations
which are actively proceeding between
Washington and Madrid.
Havana: Gen. Weyler declares that
if the sentences of the Competitor fill
busters are not executed by Spain that
he will resign. Il am tired" he says,
"of the continuous menace and inter-
ference of the United States in Cuban
affairs i came to suppress IA rebellion
of bandits Death is the only penalty
which can be inflicted upon bandits.
If am not allowed To proceed in the
only way 1 think will save the Spanish
cause, / prefer To retire and leave to
others the responsibility of the loss of
Cuba by Spain"
Havana: 1t has become known that
the British consul has also interviewed
in the name of his government on be-
half of the Competitors captives SEN
fenced to death. He invoices clemency
for the prisoners. This action of the
British government in the ease has
caused a sensation here.
