CHAPTER xxxU.
AND Last

The next morning we fell early to
work, for the transportation Of this
great mass OF gold near mile by land
to the beach, and thence three miles by
boat to the "Hispaniola," was consider
able task for SO small number Of
workmen. The three fellows still
abroad upon the island did not greatly
trouble us; single sentry on the shout
der of the hill was sufficient to insure
us against any sudden onslaught, and
we thought. besides, they had had more
than enough of fighting.
Therefore the work was pushed on
briskly. Gray and Ben Gum came and
went with the boat, while the rest dur
ing their absence piled treasure on the
beach. Two Of the bars, slung in a
ropes end, made good load for a
grown man-one that he was glad to
walk slowly with. Fer my part, as l
was not much use at carrying, was
kept busy all day In the cave, packing
the minted money into bread bags.
It was strange collection, like Billy
Bones hoard for the diversity Of coin
age, but SO much larger ard SO much
more varied that think never had
more pleasure than in sorting them.
English, French. Spanish, Portuguese,
Georges and Louises, doubloons and
double guineaa and moilores and
sequins, the pictures of all the kings Of
Europe for the last hundred years,
strange oriental pieces stamped with
what looked like wisps Of string or bits
of spiders web, round pieces and square
pieces, and pieces bored through the
middle, as if to wear them round your
neck-nearly every variety Of money
| in the world must, think, have found
place in that collection; and for num-
Der, am sure they were like autumn
leaves, so that my back ached with
STOPPING and my fingers with sorting
them out
Day after day this wark went on; by
every evening . fortune had been
slowed aboard, but there was another
fortune waiting for the morrow; and
all this time we heard nothing Of the
three surviving mutinesrs.
At last-I think it was on the third
|night-the doctor and / were strOlling
lon the shoulder OF the Hill where It
overlooks the lowlanda of the isle,
when, from out the thick darkness be-
low, the wind brought N noise be-
tween shriekins and singing. It was
only snatch that reached our ears,
followed by the former silence.

SO many good-humored faces especial

fruits, and above all, the lights that be-
gan to shine in the town, made most
charming contrast to our dark and
bloody sojourn on the island; and the
doctor and the squire, taking me along
with them, went ashore to pass the
early part Of the night, Here they met
the captain of an English man-of-war,
fell in talk with him, went on board
his ship, and, in short, had so agreeable
a time that day was breaking when we
came alongside the "Hispaniola."

with wonderful eentortions, to make us

Step Has Been Taken.
THE FORMAL NOTIFICATION PRESENTED.
The Chinese Government Not oniy
Accents the Agreement, but Feels
Able to Guarantee the PERFORM
ance of the COnditiOns-Some Dif-
ficuIties May Arise.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Folowing, at
an interval of one day, close upon his
announcement that the Chinese en-
ncrGr had decreed the acceptance OF
the Pekin agreement, Minister Con
ger cabled the state department un-
der date of Pekin, January !, that the
next step had been taken, and that
the ministers had been notified for
mally not only that the agreement
was accepted by the Chinese govern
ment, but that that government felt
able to guarantee performance Oh
the conditions imposed. 1t was ap-
prehended that there would be much
difficulty in settling the important
subject of indemnties, and the rear
rangement of the commercial treaties
between China and the powers, which
is provided for only in general terms
in the agreement, is expected to pre-
sent equal difficulties in the arrange
ment of details, II is absolutely es-
sential to harmonious relations in the
future that there shall be no discrim-
ination in the making Of these treat
les. If by covert arrangement, one
power is to obtain commercial ad-
vantage over the others, the result
will be the cause of dissatisfaction.
Therefore, it is within the bounds OF
probability that the outcome of the
negotiations under this sub-head of
the agreement touching commercial
arrangements will be the framing of
samething like a general convention
which may be signed collectively or
singly by the powers, but which VIII
insure uniform treatment to all.
The Chinese governments guaran-
tee of its ability to perform the acts
called for by the agreement is now
expected to be followed by the
prompt arrest and punishment of the
Boxer leaders and sympathizers who
were named in the decree of Septem-
ber 25 as follows;
Prince Chwan, Prince Iih; second
ary Princes Tsai Lien and Tsai Iing,
Prince Tuan, Duke Tsai Ian, and the
president of the censorate, Ying Men,

OUR |NS(|LAR ANN[XES.
Briefs Filed in the United States
Supreme Court in Several
Test Cases.
SOME OF THE CONVENTIONS PRESENTED
IL In Claimed that the Constitution
of the United States ReT>hes over
Every Portion of the National Do
main. Whether States, Territories
or Districts.


Washington, Jan. 3.-The first
briefs to be sled in the cases involving
the relation of the United States to
their insular possessions which are
to be argued in the United States su-
preme court next, were submitted.
There are eight of the cases, and
briefs were filed in two of them, viz,
the cases of Charles Armstrong and
of Samuel B. Downes. In both cases
the briefs represent the parties op,
posing the contentious of the govern
ment
The Armstrong case comes to the
United States supreme court from the
court of claims. Armstrong is Brit
ish subject doing business in Ponce,
p. r., and ne sues to recover tariff du.
ties collected on goods imported into
delphia and Baltimore. The court of
claims decided against him, and he
appeals from that decision. The
brief in this case was filed by Mr..
John c. Clancy on behalf of Mr..
Armstrong.
The plea is made in the brief that
the collection of duties was, in the
circumstances, violation of the con
stitution of the United States, as by
the terms of the Paris treaty the is
land of Porto Rico became a portion
of the United States. The brief lays
down the following propositions as
the basis of the appellants conten-
tions
"The constitution of the United
States reaches over every portion of
the national domain, whether in the
form of states territories, or dis
tricts, because this constitution pro-
ydes for territories as well as states.
The cession made by Spain in the
treaty of Paris produced an absolute
change of title and sovereignty in
Porto Rico.
"The president of the United States
is an executive officer. He has no
right to exercise legislative functions.
The imposition, by executive orders,
of customs duties on commerce be-
tween the Island OF Porto Rico and
other parts of the United States after
the treaty OF peace and the exchange
of ratifcatons in unauthorized and
void and the collection of such duties
is without warrant of law.
"A government without limitations
was never intended by the founders
OF the nation. They sought to estab-
lish and did establish constitutional
republic which furnishes written
guarantee Of protection to all of its
inhabitants. The idea that IN one
portion Of the country the executive
and legislative authority is subject to
restrictions and limitations and that
in another portion 1t is without any
restriction or limitation-that In
one part u republican government ex-
lists and In another port an unlimited
dcspotsm, is repugnant to the theory
upon which the government was
founded Every inbnbitant is entitled
to the protection afforded by the bill
of rights

Chicago, Jan. 3.-The Tribune says:
The Chicago & Northwestern Rail-

of age, and who has been 30 years in
the service of the company, and who
is disabled in service, will receive a

wages for the last ten years of his
service with the company.

New Orleans, Jan. 3.--New ord

prohibiting private markets within
nine squares of public markets, for
bidding the peddling and hawking of
any market produce, vegetables, fruit,
poultry, game fish or oysters within
certain hours Of the day, and making
it unlawful for grocers to offer for

the ordinances is to force all butchers
and venders of market produce into

passed under the control of the city,
and which are expected to yield
much heavier revenue to the city un-
der the new laws.
