RURIED TREASURE.
$4,000 in Gold in One of the Chinatown
Buildings.

There was $4,000 worth of gold in one
building in Chinatown at the time OF
the big fire. 1t belonged to the manu-
featuring jewelry firm of Tim Chang &
Co., which had a store in the building
at the Mauka Waikiki corner of King
and Maunakea streets. A large part
of 1t was in the safes belonging to the
firm. But there was said to be about
$4,000 worth of gold in bars which was
not in the safes. On Monday the mem
bers of the firm asked permission to
search the ruins for this. The treasure
was buried beneath tons of fallen brick,
and it was a two or three days job
to get at it,

Yesterday afternoon, at l O'Clock,
the negro, who was nephew of the
negro Floyd, hanged week ago for an
attempted assault, attempted to assault
Mrs. Harrington. Mr.. Harrington
was at a cotton gin in Electric. His
home is ono mile out OF town. The
negro came to the house and told Mrs.
Harrington that her husband had sent
him to get 20 cents from her. She
told him she had no change. Then the

negro escape.
AS soon as Mrs. Harrington was re
stored to consciousness, Nichols gave
the alarm. The news spread rapidly
All the stores in Electric were Instant
~ closed, the ginneries and sawmills
shut down; the people left their wag-
ons in the road and their plows in the
fields and gathered for pursuit of the
negro. The negro was soon found on
the north outskirts Of Electric. Thele
he was confronted by his victim. who
identified him.
About II o'clock cowd of several
hundred was in the little village. The
negro was taken to the edge of the vii.
lage and preparations for his death
were quickly made. A rope was flung
over the limb of big oak and 100 men
stood ready to swing him up.
Then halt was called, and the man.
ner OF death was discussed by the mob.
A vote was taken, and the balloting
showed a majority of the crowd favored
death at the stake. The stake was
prepared, and the negro was bound to
it with chains. Pine knots were piled
about him, and the flames were started
by the husband of his victim. AS they
leaped to the negro's flesh he uttered
wild cries to ,jod for mercy and help.
The crowd looked on deaf to his cries,
and in an hour the negro was reduced
to ashes.
Townsend, before being bound, con.
fessed the crime. and said he was also
implicated with Alexander Floyd, who
was hanged two weeks ago, for An at.
tempted assault on Miss Kate Pearson.
He SAID he and Floyd had planned other
crimes uf like character.

look in the industrial world than was
apparent week or 10 days ago. The
reports as to the probability of settle
ment of the anthracite coal strike
which have been current for couple
of days seem to have basis OF fact
and there is more than a likelihood
that the most disturbing feature in tho
industrial situation for some time. Is
In process of elimination.
An encouraging feature in the iron
and steel situation, is tho number and
character of foreign inquiries.
The demand for structural material
continues steady and prices are firm.
The fact that the tin plate scale re-
mains unsettled produces but little
effect. But little OF significance is to
be extracted from the movement OF
prices.
Wheat has been somewhat irregular,
and prices shift listlessly, being about
where they we're this time last week.
Absence of foreign demand owing prob
ably to larger Russian shipments.
coupled with higher freights, tended to
the unsettlement.
Spot cotton is up on the week, but
the general market had tuctuated ner-
vously, influenced on the one hand by
heavy port receipts, and on the other
by apparent famine conditions. A sat-
isiactory activity in distributive trade
checked to some extent in certain 10.
calities by unreasonable weather and
in others by tendency to curtail oper'
atoms pending the outcome OF the elec'
toral contest is disclosed by telegraphic
advices.
Wheat, including -four shipments.
for the week aggregated 4,242,Sl0
bushels against 1856, S57 last week.
From July /. to date, this season.
wheat exports are AZ, 500 bushels.

POWERS IN ACCORD
Prospects Bright for Settle.
ment of Chinese Trouble.
AIAFALL IN LINE wITH AMERICA
Even Germany Shows Signs Of Prepare
ing to Join in the Common
MOvenent-Other News.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Favorable
news has reached Washington from the
European chancellories, indicating
that a complete agreement as to China
is within sight. The agreement will
be on the basis of the propositions laid
down by Secretary Hay in his note of
July 3, and the subsequent notes treat.
ing on the subject. The accord OF Rus.
sia with the United States is more
complete than was anticipated at first,
and the reports show that all of the
European nations probably are placing
themselves in position to take advan.
,age of the opening made by the Unit
ed States. and soon will be ready to be.
gin negotiations for settlement with
the Chinese government. The Rus
sains already have given notice of such
purpose, and while the text of the
French note on this subject, referred
to in today's press dispatches, has not
reached the state department, the off.
Gals are satisfied that it is correctly
reported and that France, like Russia,
Is ready to negotiate at once.
As for Germany, either the position
of that government has been misunder.
stood or it has sustained change of
mind. Possibly the former is the case,
but, however that may be. it is quite
certain from the advices which have
reached Washington that the German
government. upon careful inspection Of
the plans tor settlement projected by
the United States. finds therein moth.
ing inconsistent with the German as.
pirations. Therefore, it may be ex.
pected that Germany, too, will be pre-.
pared soon to join in this common
movement toward settlement. 1t
may he stated that altogether the pros.
poets Of an adjustment of the Chinese
difficulties without resort to formal
war are very much brighter than they
we're one week ago.
