WALKERS PART IN IT.

In the year 1888 there lay in Boque-
ron. off Callao, Peru. an Italian man
of-war called Archimede Being con-
sidered obsolete for modern warfare,
she was sold out of the service and
was purchased by Capt. F. D. Walker,
who was engaged in collecting cargoes
Of iron for the japanese market.
By the kindness of the captain of the
Port and incidentally an occasional
payment to him of one hundred silver
soles the frigate was allowed to remain
in the Boqueron instead of the mer-
chant ship harbor
This was most pleasant as that an
chorage (for men-of-war only) is free
from the nauseous fumes which pc
riodically visit Callao, called locally
the Painter ewing to all white paint
being quickly turned TO a dirty slate
color. Some months after the a-uuisi-
ton of the Archimede 1 purchased
from the United States government the
store ship Onward.
THE MAN WITH THE SECRET.
On taking possession Of the Onward
took over her caretaker, an old man
named Conner. whom 1 transferred
eventually to the Archimede. His age
was uncertain; he said he was about
seventy, but to form an opinion from
his personal appearance, L should say
he was close to eighty or ninety. Sull
he was lively and his life must have
been very adveL>1resome, he had been
every thing you could imagine, though
he never quilted the Pacific coast. He
served the Peruvians. ChilenOs, Boil
vians, whenever there was war either
as gunner in their navy or sergeant in
the field,with equal fidelity. There was
nothing he did not know from Magel-
Ian straits TO Panama.
1t was my invariable custom Gt is /
now to get up at night, go on deck, I
perhaps light a pipe, and feel the in
influence Of the cool night T.
air, and on those occasions had many
with the old man who .
though loquacious was interesting.
TELLS HIS SECRET TO WALKER.
When young he had served in nearly
svery service, whether in the regular
navy or disguised pirating. One star
light night. after slight conversation.
le told me Of a secret which he possess
ID and said that if I would assist him
We could both be rich. CAPTAIN
SAID HE. 7 CAN TELL YOU /.
WHERE YOU CAN FILL THE GUN
ROOM WITH BAR SILVER AND
SOLD" He then related TO ME the
account Of the Esperanto, he
having been Edwards's attendant. He
lad gone TO Mission hospital with a
,roIen arm and collar bone. He care
ully wrote down Edwards's statement
Z the latitude and longitude of the I
'lace Of ship wreck together with a
nap Of the buried treasure. After re-
naming in the country till 1919 he
oined the service Of the Argentines.

L0ngino's Candidacy for the
United States Senate.

Governor Longino has decided
to measure arms with Senator
Money in contest before the peo-
pie of Mississippi for the exalted
honor of representing them in the
United States Senate.
His announcement has disturbed
the political waters and the forces
with which they are pregnant are
gathering strength to align them
selves in the most memorable
struggle that has marked Missis-
sippi for years.
The claims OF Governor Longino
will be weighed against those of
MIR. Money, and his excellent rec
ord as chief executive, contempt
rary with the most splendid devel-
opment and progress that has ever
characterized any epoch of the
States history. will make him a
most formidable contestant for
senatorial honors.
These honors fell 10 Senator
Money from the lamented j. Il.
George and he has worn them
with credit. achieving national rep
utation for himself and prestige
for Mississippi While Mr..
Money has a strong hold on the
affections of the people, it is
equally true that Mr.. Longino's
brilliant public career, character
lied by forceful executive ability
that has wrought wonderful prog
ress for his State, will largely
counteract this sentiment of affec-
ton and afford room for vigorous
contention between the two gentle
men.

City Tax Assessment.

The Mayor and Board of Select
men have taken a commenda bic
step forward in appraising the
value of real estate and solvent
credits of the city and equalizing
them accordingly. This was done
Mt the March meeting and the rolls
will be on file subject to the in
spection of the assessed until the
18th inst. for corrections. On the
afternoons of the 18th and Goth
the Board will hold extra sessions
for hearing complaints and making
equitable adjustments. The as
sessments just completed by Mr.
CT. ID. Sims and revised by the
Board of Aldermen. shows an in
crease in the taxable wealth of the
city of more than 5000, 900 and
affords a base for material rednc-
ton Of the tax levy The mass of
citizens are much gratified at the
action of the Board and believe
the step it has taken will promote
the general welfare, inasmueh as it
places the burden of city govern
ment equitably on all alike. If
this should be distasteful to any
one the others would not care, since
the ends of justice are being sub
served.
