trail of the previous night. We had

trail of the previous night. We had
not yet searched in that direction. After
going half a mile we dropped into a
ravine, and as made a slip and threw
out a hand and clutched bush there
was a rattle of iron against stone. In
another minute had drawn out short
crowbar, and then we felt certain that
the cave was in the ravine. This was
what our spy had taken for stick, and
it had been brought along to work at
masonry.
1t was the major who found the cave,
and it was his broken leg that lost us
the treasure. AS we walked down the
ravine, carefully scanning the rocky
walls, he slipped on wet stone and
pitched forward against bush. The
bush was uprooted and he swayed and
fell, and his first cry was that the cave
was behind it. So 1t was. A stone
which must have required the services
of six or eight men to lift had been
cemented into the mouth of a cave of
some sort; and but for the bush the
seams would have been plain to any
eye on the lookout. So anxious was
the injured man to learn the contents
of the cave that he insisted on our be-
ginning work at once. This we would
not hear to, and making rude litter
we bore him back to camp. Then set
out for Delhi and a surgeon, and it was
midafternoon before we landed our
patient in the hospital.
Then Capt. Gordon and 1 made all
speed back to camp and the cave. His
horse had been left there but was miss
ing, as was also some bedding and pro-
visions. We made for the cave on
run, fearing the worst, and neither of
us were surprised that it had been
opened and rifled. This was all I had
to bear, but the captain had more. In
few hours he learned that his trusted
servant had been working in concert
with Col. Bounce" He had watched
us as well as him; and on the way to
town he had retracted his charge, and
the pair had been kicked and set at
liberty. The Ceylonese had fitted him
self out at his masters expense, and
though the pursuit of him was long and
expensive he was never captured. What
the amount of the treasure was we could
only guess; but with the breaking of the
majors leg the syndicate of three went
out of business and had no profits to di
vide.

oBLlGING THE GEAR.
How High English officials Violated
the Law of Their Country.


the Law Of Their Country.
Englishmen have recently learned
with angry surprise that, at the re-
quest of a monarch, for whom they
feel something the reverse of affection,
the foreign office and treasury officials
entered three years ago into success
full conspiracy to violate the law which,
of all on the English statute books, was
supposed to be the most like those of tho
of the present Russian emperor died,
there was on deposit to his credit in the
Bank of England cash and bonds
amounting to considerably over 81 ,000,-
900. This, of course, like the personal
estate of every Englishman, and of
every foreigner with property in Eng
land, was subject to heavy death
duty. The young czar had a natural
dissemination for contributing to the
revenue of foreign country, so his
representative in London was directed
to ascertain if there was not some way
OF escaping the tax.
An appeal to the comptroller of leg
acy and succession duties elected the
opinion that the money would have to
be paid, but this was accompanied with
= promise to sec whether n precedent
for exemption could not be found. In
vestigation disclosed that in every pre-.
vious instance of the kind, and they
were numerous, the tax had been col
lected to the last farthing. This was
n oerit hI1f
stated, the cabinet was determined to
grant the czar's request, and SO way
out of the difficulty was invented.
The Bank of England people init
mated to the treasury that they were
willing to hand the property over to the
new czar, without requiring letters of
administration to be presented (the OBJ
tanning of which would have involved
the payment of the duty, provided the
treasury would take no exception to
that course. Accordingly written
communication was sent to the bank,
stating that $50 far as the treasury
was concerned the bank was author
lied to transfer to the present emperor
the property belonging to his late inn
perial majesty" The money was there
upon released, the English taxpayers
lost the benefit of 6 10 shillings out of
every 6 100 which the late car had on
deposit in England at the time of his
death, and the young car had been
pleased at their expense.
The committee which, has just been
investigating this episode does not ex-
press any opinion on the propriety of
making a concession for the sake of
what it calls international comfy, but
the report declares with some energy
that when the treasury decided to coun-
tenance what was not only "extra-
statutory" but actually against the
law, and by executive act to dispense
with payment to the exchequer which
1t had no power to remit, it should have
communicated the facts of the case to
the comptroller and auditor general,
who could, if he thought necessary,
have brought them under the notice of
parliament. No such communication
was made, and the whole affair was
wrapped in secrecy, and now the ques-
ton is whether anybody can be held
responsible for the amount of the duty.

Sound Reasons for Approval.

There are several cogent reasons why the
medical profession recommend and the
public prefer Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
above the ordinary cathartics. 1t does not
drench and weaken the bowels, but assists
rather than forces nature to act; it is
botanic and safe; it's action is never pre-
coded by an internal earthquake like that
produced by drastic purgative. For forty
five years past it has been a household
remedy for liver, stomach and kidney
trouble.

YEARS MINERAL OUTPUT.
Figures Showing the Mineral PrOduc-
tiOn Of the United States
During 1896.

New York, Jan. 2.The Engineering
and Mining Journal to-day contains sta
tistics of the mineral production of the
United States during 1896. The total
value is $653,31 ,468, showing a decrease,
as compared with 1895, of 1924 4,689,26G, or
about 31la per cent. This decrease was
largely in values rather than in guam
titles.
The increase of copper has been extra
ordinary, the total gain amounting TO
G7,763,l5o pounds, which was more than
absorbed by the extraordinary exports
for the year.
The gold production reached total of
@57000,000, gain over 1895 of $10,169,-
500. Our output of gold was no less
than rs per cent of the total output of
the entire world.
The production of silver from domestic
ores reached total of 45,465,175 fine
ounces, decrease from that of 1895 of
SG5,O62 ounces only.

And this disposes of the objection that
the amendment of the record 80 as to

liction existed, and the action of the dis

NEW PARASOIS.
The new parasols are in better style
than those Of last year, and charm by
their simplicity. Striped chine silks on
white grounds, with pink interviewer, vel

pink silk and have double Fittings of
butter-tinted lace. The handles are most
original, some taking the form of small
metal or china-painted balls. while others
have green painted handles, with gold
tops. Many of the newest models are
returning TO the early Victorian style,
and have deep fringe. Bright poppy red
silk will be much worn, and will give a
pretty dash of color in the promenades.
Quite new departure is the use Of
applique trimmings, in sets of four rows,
starting from the top Of the parasol close
together, and then widening and radiat-
ing toward the edge. the ground being
