,pooi,,ao,s Hidden wealth

Boston, Mass March 6.-When Isaac
Lewis, who was once wealthy New
York merchant, but lost his property
through business reverses, was found
dead and frozen in the attic of his little
house in Neponset in the latter part OF
January, after living for twenty-five
years the life of recluse, it was sup
posed that considerable property had
been left by this old man, "a years of
age. Relatives, assisted by the police
of that district, made search of the
house, but failed to find anything of
value beyond deed of the property.
thought to be worth about $4,000, and
another deed for n large tract of land
near Mount Bowdoin. No will was
found, nor has one been discovered
since then. The conditions under which
the recluse had lived made 1t seem al
most certain that he must have other
valuables stored away In some place Of
safety. Failure to find property stored
in any of the safety vaults in town led
those interested to make a more thor
ough search about Mr.. Lewis home.
This has resulted in the finding of more
or less treasure hidden in the ways Of
the house. This, in the form of gov
eminent bonds and other lntehest-
bearing securities, is thought to be
worth upward of $4,000. w. ii. II.
Moore, son-ln-law of Mr.. Lewis, is in
charge of affairs of the estate and is
conducting the search into its condi-
ton.

House Committees.

Austin, Texas, March 6.-The house
yesterday morning voted down res0-
luton providing for adjournment sine
die on day certain, but the majority
against it was not very large and evil
dences are plentiful that many men,
bers are getting restless and another
attempt to cut the session short may
prove successful.
The Evans assignment bill had an
other inning in the house yesterday
and the gentlemen from Bexar (Mr.
Childs on one hand and Messrs. Blair
and O'Connor on the other INDUCED In
a little passage at arms, during which
remarks more or less complimentary
were exchanged. After they had con-
sumed about an hour in trying to prove
which of the three came the nearest
to representing a majority of their con-
stituents and reached out after one an
others scalps with Il vim that had
behind it antecedent local fractional
differences, the house heard two good
speeches from the standpoint of the
opposition to Mr. Evans proposed
measure. The speakers were Mr.. Ay-
ers of Tarrant and Mr.. Ward of Travis,
and their talks were so pointed and
convincing and their arguments were
so well fortified with authorities that
their colleagues were visibly affected
thereby. So much so, In fact, tnaf 1t Is
freely asserted that the backbone of
the Evans faction has been broken.
Mr.. Fisher of Williamson, one of the
ablest lawyers in the house, will next
Monday reply to Messrs. Ward and
Ayers, however, and the friends of the
bill promise that he will demolish the
opposition stars who spoke yesterday.
They expect great things of Mr.. Fisher,
and with good reason, for he is more
than capable of holding up his end of
any argument, as he has already
shown at the present session.
Chairman Garrison OF the house
finance committee is being congratu-

was in the Twenty-fourth legislature.

Tho Now AdmInistrntion.


Washington, March 6.--Probably
never before in American history has
an administration been obliged to face,
at the very beginning Of its assumption
of power, so many and important ques-
tons affecting foreign relations of the
United States as confront President
Mckinley and his premier. All these
are important, and while some Of them
may be kept in the background, others,
and those of the utmost gravity, are
likely to force themselves upon the
attention of the new administration in
such persistent manner that they
must be met promptly.
Foremost and greatest In interest to
the people of the United States, be-
cause of the strife that Is being wage1
under their very eyes, is the subject
of our relations toward Cuba. For
over two years the Instruction on
the island has gone on, and from the
confusion of reports that reach the de-
partment of state, it is not possible
to accurately and surely ascertain the
exact conditions of this struggle.
1t is understood to be the policy of
the new administration to deal with
this matter deliberately and not un-
dertake to depart from the policy with
which it has so far been treated, until
cur more important internal financial
affairs have been adjusted. But the
subject is of an explosive nature, and
1t is not safe to predict that through
some overt and outrageous act of a
subordinate among either the Spanish
forces or in the insurgent lines the
administration will not be forced to
depart from its plans and direct Its
attention Mt short notice to this dan
gerous subject.
Hawaii will seek to induce the pres
ident to negotiate a new annexation
treaty.
With the mother country, England,
our relations are so founded on rea-
sonable and mutual consideration thai
there are no grounds for apprehension
that subjects pressing for considera-
ton of diplomatic agencies will not
yield in the end to the usual methods Of
treatment.
The final enactment of a new tariff
bill may put a severe strain upon our
relations with some great European
powers, and first of all with Germany.
1t is understood to be the intention of
congress to provide for active retalia-
ton against those countries that have
so unjustly barred American meat pre-
ducts and cattle from their markets.
and among these Germany is the chief
offender. Secretary Olney has left to
his successor an unpleasant legacy
the negotiations looking to abatement
of the restrictive regulations which
choke the life out of American insur-
ance companies seeking to continue
the profitable businesS rninn1n, built
up with Germany. Wfrn7S eeretdFy
Sherman will do in this matter can net

a. Pantages, one OF the youngest mem
bers of the Greek committee, is the pro-
prietor of restaurant on Fifth street,
where all his warlike countrymen are
wont to congregate nightly and discuss
the probability OF war with Turkey.
Their patriotic am bitIon scars above an
| isolated skirmish, or an exchange of pro-
jectiles between TWO warships separated
by mile of water; they are eager for
wholesale slaughter at close quarters.
Like Harry Ho;spur, they have for
sworn the fitting of lips and are seeking
for bloody noses and cracked crowns"
They are saying with Pistol, though they
have amended the phrase: Let US to
Crete. Like horseleeches, my boys. To
suck, to suck, the very blood to suck"
Pantages himself has rugged up very
respectable gymnasium behind his res
taurant and here these youthful membe
of the company are developing thews and

night, land then die But this is a di-
erosion. Pantages is a member of the
San Francisco Athletic Club ana recently
pounds, knows something about Greco
Roman wrestling and enjoys a local repu-
tatiOn and name.
He ranks in fact as an all-around light
weight athlete, and is just now busily en-
gagged in imparting some of his knowledge
TO his fellow-countrymen. Many of the
younger Greeks in this community left
Greece before they were 21-ihe age of
conscription-and have not therefore en-
ioyed the advantages of a military train
ing.
Frank Campoorakes, Gus Carvoones and
George Malaverzos all three sadly con-
fessed last night that they were in this
posi- ton. But, they added, ''ii we go to
Crete with the company we intend to put
in our two years in the army before we
re urn"
Pantages also left his native land before
the age OF service though he belongs TO
military family. Two OF his elder
brothers were in the army during the
blockading of the Pirae@us in 1887, and he
received letter from his father few
days ago informing him that they had
both been promoted and expected to be
ordered to Crete at any moment. They
are attached to q regiment which bears
the name OF the King. Apostolic, Pantages'
partner, served for many years in the
Greek navy, and though not so young as
he was he Is still ready 10 say "HearP' to
the muster-roll if called upon.

RANDSBURG'S INNOVATION.

oct.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Feb. 2O.-The
sturdy prospectors and hardy miners Of
California have, since the days of 40, in
vented and perfected many and subtle
schemes Tor locating the alluring nugget
ana the speckled quartz. Many a novelty
in mining has been introduced into
The mountain Businesses in search
OF the elusive ore that glitters
and enriches; but it remained for certain
clalm-owners at Randsburs, the wizard
camp OF the Mojave, to go blowing for
gold. This innovation in prospecting is
proving eminently satisfactory to the
orlglnatorS of the scheme, and is destined
TO become the fad on the Rand.
Prospect plowing' was first introduced
IN what is known as the siringer district,
where Messrs. Whelplsy and Mandy
bought some property from the Stephens
poys. They procured a big plow, hitched
eignt horses to 1t and plowed burrows
across 1t. The soil Is u decomposed
granite, and the heavy rains have put it
In tne condition to work.
Ihey put their pow in deep and ran
TWO or three times in place, and were
aoie to tear the soil up to depth of two
ieet or more. In this way they ran on TO
hve or SIX stripgeTs. AL prospecting we'll,
out further development will,bs necessary

PORTLAND, Or, Feb. 20.-Heinrich
Won Damreich, 16 years old, arrived here
yesterday afternoon, after having almost
completed a tour around the world. He
departed for San francisco to- night. Won
Damrelch is, perhaps, the younges gen
tleman ever having made the trip alone.
He is the sole heir of a deceased mil
lionaire pipe manufacturer Chemnitz.
Germany. peculiar provision in the
elder Won Damreich's will prompted the
young man to undertake this journey so
early in life. In that document was ex-
press desire that the decedent's heir
should visit all the countries of the globe
to be reached by steamer or rail ere he re-
solved to create a home for himself.
Should the heir comply with this wish of
the testator al any time before he reached
the twenty-fifth year of his age ne might,
at the termination of his tour, claim all
accounting from the trustees of the estate
and demand that they place him in abso-
lutte control of it.
There was another provision which
stipulated that at the end of the young
mans travels ne write an interesting and
original volume recounting what he saw
and experienced, and copies of that book
must be submitted for criticism to q pro-
lessor of German literature in both the
Bonn and Heidelberg universities. 1t
must by them be pronounced grammati-
cal!y pure, 80 per cent perfect in construc-
ton and in no manner hackneyed. Then
the youth might revel in his ia hers mil
lions as early as he pleased.

guage, therefore l fear no faultiness in

The unanimous approval of the bill by the
Assembly, while it does credit to their human
Ivy as developed under the representations
made on the floor of the House. seems to the
writer 10 reHect very strongly upon the good
sense OF the members in accepting without

lous to push his tavorite measure through.
