MIsER BURIED HIS GOLD.
Relatives Are Now Digging Up Farm
to Find 1t.
stipatiOn.


AsHEvILLE, N. O., Sept. 4.-The rela.
tives of Jonathan Newman, late of
Henderson county, are still digging for
the bucket of gold, which the old man,
just before his death Friday, declared
was buried in his garden. If it is un-
earthed, it will mean between $1,000
and $4,000 for the heirs.
Gold figured in all the late transac.
tlons of Mr.. Newman, as he would pay
premium for the yellow metal when
necessary. Some are inclined to the
opinion that the bucket was buried un-
der some log or brushheap.
Mr.. Newman had q way of going to
the outskirts of his large tract of land
and building brushheaps, whether
brushheaps were needed or not. Won
dering neighbors used to watch the old
man pile up heaps of brush and logs,
and then day or so after their wonder
would take on fresh impetus to find the
brush and logs in another place, there
being no apparent purpose in the vast
display of industry.
There are a half dozen sons, to say
nothing of a small army of other rela-
tives. and it is said that the gold will
be found if it is necessary to dig up the
entire farm. And in the meantime q
close watch is being kept to see that no
one outside of the family does any dig

JAPS SAY THEY HAVE
BEEN MISTREATED
Indignant Over Action of
Hawaiian Officials.
STIRRED UP HORNET NEST
Native Press Inclined to Think the
Japanese May Be Disseminated
Against In the Framing of American
immigration Laws.

YOKOHAMA, Aug. 21, via VICTORIA,
B. c., Sept. 4.-To say that a hornet S
nest has been stirred up in Japan would
but mildly express the news of the al
legged outrageous treatment of Japanese
ladies on the Nippon Maru by the quar-
antine officers of Hawaii. Nothing in
the course of all the relations between
America and Japan has aroused so omuch
press Indignation or such strong popu.
lar feeling.
The Occident shows clearly the diff
culties that are before the Americans
should the japanese be Disseminated
against in the framing of immigration
laws. Any such discrimination would
also destroy the extraordinary friendly
relations which have always existed be-
tween the two governments.
One of the leading Tokyo papers
points out, however, that jealousy of
western powers guard their flag and
their national regulations against every
lndlgnity Or injustice. It cites the
action OF England in the affairs of the
LOrcha Arrow and of Don PaCifco, and
while not insisting that Lord Palmer.
stones procedure should be taken as q
model of foreign political methods, it
does hold that Japan lacks self as.
sert1veness and that she might win a
larger measure of respect if she insists
on receiving it.
The posUponement of the return of
the Chinese court to PeSing until Octo-
Der on account of the prevailing heat is
perfectly understood here and recOg-
nized as part of the program of delay,
which will ultimately end either in the
retention of the present stopping place,
or the choice of some other interior city
as the capital of the empire.
That the court will ever return to Pc
king, while that city is completely under
the domination of foreign troops, is
not reckoned with as among the possibili-
ties. In the meantime, the growing in
fuence of Japan over the Chinese gov.
ernment is evidenced by the appoint
ment of a japanese officer to organize the
police force of Peking and by the ac-
ceptance of the recommendation Of
Yuen Seika that the Chinese army be
modelled upon that of Japan.
Major General Fukushima has started
for Shanghai, and it is reported that
this is preliminary to the dispatch to
that place of a battalion of Japanese
troops, so that the nation may arrange
itself alongside England and Germany
in any developments which may occur
in the valley of the Yang Use.
