The Hu..nrrr.a..-.

Near the spot not far from Port Nor
ris where the English man-of-war uus-
sar sank more than a century ago with
her gold intended for the British army
n sloop has recently been making
soundings and this has started the re-
port that another search was to be
made for this buried treasure. No
sunken wreck near New York has been
more eagerly sought for than that OF
the old Hussar.
Many wrecklng parties have been
organized TO hunt for il and much
money has been spent on these at
tempts. Force pumps, divers and big
dredgers have been used in this work,
and as soon as one company has failed
another has been organized TO take ii
up. Pieces OF wreckage nave been
found, and one particular searching
party did bring up II guineas. Since
that time later searching parties have
found cid hints, grape shot and occa-
sional coins. and Judging from the
thoroughness OF these searches IL
seems improbable that the money was
aboard the ship when she went down.
One OF the large wrecking companies
In New York city became interested In
this hunt 10 years ago and took a hand
In II without success. Despite the al
most unbroken line OF failures in the
various treasure hunts that have been
organized for this and other buried
gold, 1t is apparently easier to raise
capital for a new search than for a
well established business proposition.
So accustomed are the Port Morris
people to these treasure expeditions on
Long Island sound that they now
merely remark about new one,
There's another."-New York SUIT.

The completion OF the dam across the
Nile near Assouan begins the transfor-
nation Of lower Egypt and will intro
duce n new and important force in
world commerce. How to make the
waters of the Nile. capricious and un-
certain stream. regularly irrigate and
fertilize the great valley has been a
problem Of the centuries. A few years
ago engineers who had carefully stud
led the subject suggested to the Egyp-
tan government that this result could
be secured 10y constructing a series of
dams, which should serve rs storage
reservoirs. A dam was built I'm the
delta country, south of Cairo. 1t was
successful, and the region of the delta
was supplied with regular ard album
dant irrigation. Without delay n sec
ond dam was begun at Assouan, 700
miles up the Nile valley, and, with this
completed, work will shortly begin at
point some 800 miles farther south on
a third.
These three dams viii furnish stor-
age sufficient to irrigate the entire Nile
valley, notwithstan ding all variations
of climate. and will bring one of the
richest reaches of land or the globe

Of the struggle between the Traction

A dramatic element was added to the

Major General Roe. commander Of the
national guard.
As long as the traction company does
not attempt to move cars or bring in
non-union men. the crowds on the street
remain good-natured except for taunt-

instant an attempt Is made to work on
the line or bring non-union men In, the
crowd becomes frenzied and bloodshed
results.
The mob and militia closed in COM
bat late this afternoon but by an ac-
cident Of fortune there were no serious
casualties. II was the Introduction OF
mere non-unlon men to take the place
of striking Traction Company en-
ployes that produced violence. Seventy
five non-union men reached .he union
station shortly before o'clock and their
delivery at the Quail street barn, a
mile and half away, was made with
dash under cavalry escort, with mob
resistance in almost every block. Fren-
zied men swarmed through the police
lines, surged around the fast-moving
cavalrymen and fought to get at the
crowd Of non-union men inside the cir
Gle of galloping horses. Several Of the
mob were knocked down by cavalry
men but the record does not yet show
single fatality.
