WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Treasury
Department, particularly the office of the
treasury, is being flooded with correspond
ence in relation to premium coins. The
newspapers have contained articles stating
that through mistake at the mint a guam
tity of gold got mixed in with other metals
and that some of the 1-cent pieces possess
greater value on account of the presence
of the precious metal. These statements
are erroneous. The department neither
pays nor receives a premium upon any of
it's issues, either of coin or paper currency.

An Unsettled British Claim.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE British
ambassador has called the attention of
acting Secretary LOOMS to the failure of
Congress to provide for the settlement of
a claim of Gallatly, Hankey & Co., of Lon
don, England, owners of the British steam
ship Mogul, for damages alleged to be due
them by reason of a collision between the
Mogul and the United States transport
Warren in Manila bay, Dec. 80, 1900. This
claim was thoroughly examined by the
United States officials, who reported that
the Warren was at fault, and fixed the
amount TO be paid to the owners Of the
British steamship. This statement was
submitted to the last Congress, but in the
general deficiency bill the only provision
made in the case was for another exam
nation, and money was appropriated to
pay any award that the examiners might
make. The acting secretary has agreed TO
again submit the estimates to Congress.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Presi-
dent, by executive order, has turned Mid
way islands over to the Navy Department.
This was done at the instance of the Pa
cific Cable Company, which has asked for
the protection of its properties on the
islands. Rowing japanese sailors are In
the habit OF putting into the islands for
the plumage of sea fowl and for guano. 1t
is probable the Navy Department will
establish a small station the islands
and American warships will make a prac-
tice of touching there more frequently
than in the past. The islands are two i'm
number, Sand island, having 633 acres, and
Eastern island. 245 acres. There is a harbor
affording about eighteen feet of water. The
islands are deemed essential to the opera
ton of the Pacific cable, which will touch

An Ancient Canal.

Between Bagdad and the Persian gulf, about 800 miles along the Tigris, is a desert in which Sir William WilIcocks finds the same engineering opportunities that are being improved in Egypt AS late as 970, A. D., this land of Chaldea was made one of the most fertile and prosperous centers of agriculture, through a great irrigation system, with main canal 250 miles long and an im- mense number of subsidiary canals. For the first ten miles the great canal, with width of 65 feet, was cut through hard conglomerate rock. to depth of 50 feet. With neglect of the works, the main stream of the Tigris became diverted, the old bed of the river silted up, the ir- rigation system fell into ruins, and only mounds on the barren plain mark the sites of the ancient villages To reclaim nearly S,000,000 acres by new irrigation system is Sir Williams hope.-London News.

Aerial Navigation.

The Smithsonian institution has published new edition of pr. Lang Iey's Experiments in Aerodynhmics, !" first printed il years ago. Tn summing up Dr. Langley speaks of the pros poets for the futu1s somewhat as fol- lows: Since that time, he says, he has demonstrated that mechanical flight is possible by actually perform ing it with steel flying machines near ly 1000 times heavier than air, driven by steam. These machines weighed from 30 to 40 pounds, and flew from one-half to three-quarters of mile at speeds varying from 20 to 30 miles an hour. It is believed by Dr. Langley that the time is now very near when human beings will be transported at high velocities, though perhaps at first under exceptional conditions, such as are demanded in the arts of war rather than of peace.--N. Y. Sun.

speech. 'Then Upton's wrang as weM as yerself"
 When Sheridan was in command in New Orleans in 1866 the major was an invited guest at an entertainment given by the general at his quarters in the. .ity. On reaching the house the major was taken to the generals bedroorn to sfEDose of his cap and cape. Wher4 the entertainment was over the old gentle Han found himself somewhat confused mentally by reason of the good things he mad consumed, and mistaking a pair of the generals trousers for his cape as qe was preparing for his departure, made his appearance finally on the street with one leg of the garment on each side of his neck, and the body part, with pendant suspenders, hanging down ais back.
 Few men in the world, who have en- loved as wide experience in travel and n knowledge of the ways of the world Ls the major, were ever less unaffected and simple-minded. After he had reached the period of "gray hairs and anaccountability" he became, possibly, n some measure more unconventional n his manner of speech, and while never rude, indulged sometimes in directness of expression which he might possibly have avoided in his earlier days.
 An illustration of this tendency oc- surred on an occasion when in the pres Ance of several ladies the conversation turned upon the injury one of them had received Tn a carriage collision in the streets of New Orleans. The major pres entity became very persistent in his eff forts to discover the immediate loca- sion Of the injury. and while pressing

striking stone Mason. Violent.

CLINTON, Mass, July 15.-A body of striking stone masons who had been employed on the Wachusett dam of the metropolitan water system, armed with revolvers, marched among the other workmen and with threats compelled 45O to stop work. One man who hesi- tated in obeying the strikers order was thrown into the Nashua river, but was rescued promptly by his associates. The police force, numbering few men, was inadequate to check the strikers. An attempt was made to arrest one of them, but he eluded the police after a chase in which he dropped his revolver
 The contractors apparently are now waiting for developments. They say they will not grant the demands of the strikers for an increase in wages to 35 cents an hour, which caused the trou- ble. 1t is understood that an effort will be made to resume operations to- day, and extra police will be on hand if this is done. 2
