There is a standing rule in the treasury department, one of the most strictly enforced rules in the service by the way, against any employe of the treasury accepting presents Or fa- vors of any sort from the financial institutions with which the treasury has to deal says Washington writer. This matter was brought into prominence this week by the action of Treasurer Treat in demanding the resignation of Samuel Terry and Ed gar Lee of the New York sub-treas- ury on account of their having ac- cepted presents from some of the New York banks or trust companies. A good deal of mystery is thrown over the action of the department in these two cases and 1t is specifically stated that nothing was found wrong in the accounts of either of these two em- ployes, but they have violated one of the cardinal rules of the treasury de- partment and they were made to suf- fer for it immediately.

 The grip is not simply bad cold resembles cold in some respects, and colds are often wrongly diag- nosed by the victims as grip. This grip is malady which has laws of it's own, both as to origin and progress after development. According to the doctors it must run it's course--''there is no special remedy that can direct ly destroy the infection, no drug that can kill the baccilus or neutralize it's toxin" This also is worth knowing. i The main thing is to nurse with care and give the best possible aid in its efforts to throw off the poison.-Bal- timore American.

Considerable scandal has been ere ated by the publication in Washing ton of the fact that the navy has maintained an effective lobby here this winter for the passage of the per- sonal bill. There are number of executive orders against government employees of any sort lobbying in fa- vor of a bill which affects their own department, and there is a particular order that any petitions of naval of- ficers either for or against legislation affecting their service shall be trans mitted to congress through the sec retary of the navy. This procedure has not been followed in the case of the personnel bill. It might also be news to the war department to learn that similar Hobbies have been main- tained this winter in favor of the ar tillery bill and the medical bill, both of which are now pending, for the war department In fact. 1t is said, in case of the artillery bill that per sonal requests were circulated from high officers in the service to all of their subordinates asking them to bring whatever pressure they are able to bear on both senators and rep resentatives favoring the passage of this bill.

Another chapter in the rather stormy history of the Panama canal commences with the retirement of Chairman Shonts from the Panama Canal commission and his succession by John F. Stevens, now the chief engineer of the canal, says some writer. Mir Shonts this week gives up his S30OOG job as the president of the commission to accept something which Is reported to be between SG0.- OOO and s100,OO0, for the manage ment of the New York subway, the Belmont-Ryan institution, which can afford to pay any sum it chooses to get a suitable man. The severance of Mfr shonts' connection with the canal enterprise was not marked by any of the unpleasant accompani- menxs. such as were made public when Chairman Wallace resigned the same position about a year ago. Chairman Shonts' letter of resigna- ton was sent to the president and was accepted in an entirely friendly spirit and he was given the good wishes of the administration in his coming work. John F. Stevens. the presen. chief engineer of the canal has succeeded Mir Shonts as the head of the canal commission It is gen. e-ally understood that both the president and Secretary Taft consid- CTS Mir Stevens fully equipped in ev- cry respect to carry on the work and an effort will he made in the near future to reduce the number of the canal commission to three. possibly even making it a one-nah power con- cern. with NIT Stevens ia entire charge.

TREASURE HUNTING COMPANY.
Organized in London to Recover Wealth Lost at Sea.

The taste for treasure hunting is not dead. A month ago the South African Salvage Co (Limited) was registered at Somerset House, with a nominal capital of f25,000. The company has been formed, among other objects, ito search for, prospect and explore, recover and salve, in South Africa and of the coasts there- of or in any other part of the world, wrecks, wreckage, vessels lost, stranded, derelict, or otherwise, and the cargoes thereof"
 The Alfred Nobel, a vessel former ly belonging to the Nobel Explosives Go, has been chartered by the com pany. After being fitted, an opera tion which will take about a month, the vessel will leave for South Africa under Captain c. A. P. Gardiner.
 Some of the wrecks on which it is proposed to start salvage operations are as follows:
 l. The troopship Merestein, lost in Saldbana bay, off Jutton Island. Believed to carry f100,000 in gold and s20,000 in silver.
 2. The Dorothea, lost of the Zulu coast. Reputed to have had on board f650,00 in gold, believed to have been stolen from the late Trans vaal government and consigned to South America.
 8. The Thermoplyae, wrecked in 1898. Value of remaining cargo said to be s42.S35, in copper, tin, silver ore and silver bars.
 4. The Wilhelmn der Secunda. Reported to have been carrying treasure captured from three pirates from Batavia to Amsterdam.
 5. TLe Cravenstein, an armed Netherlands merchantman,. wrecked in 1898. v
 6. The Middleburg, an old Dutch wreck, believed to have been loaded with crockery, bullion, tin, lead and silver.
 Notification of thirty-eight wrecks, however, has been given to the gov ernment in Cape Town, and satisfac- tory assurances have been received from the assistant treasurer that with regard to the Thermoplyae (upon which salvage operations will be be- gun toward the end of January) and the Merestein, and similarly in re- gard to any other wrecks notified from time to time," the company's right to search and salve shall be protected.
 Captain Gardiner's adventurous record is as follows:

For Funding Debt Of Big Colorado
Strike.

Denver.--The bill to fund the debt

three years ago reached final passage
in the legislature Friday The bill
received the twenty Republican votes
in the senate and the solid opposition

passed provides for bond issue of
100000. Two years ago similar
bill providing for an issue of bonds in
the sum of $S00,0OO failed of passage
by reason of the adjournment of the
legislature. 1t was understood then
that supporters of the measure had
offered to compromise with their oppo.

opposing the bill in the senate Friday,
number of Democratic members fa
vored unhesitatingly the payment of
