Or. A. Z. Wallace's just published edition OF

While in South America, about the middle OF
the last century, Spruce encountered the old
legend Of the buried treasure Of the Incas, and
also obtained a copy of Valverde's directions
for finding the place. DR.. Wallace thinks that
this document is trustworthy BY closely fol-
lowing the directions given therein he says, 1T
may still be possible for explorer of means
and energy with the assistance of the local
authorities, to solve the interesting problem OF
the treasure of the IncaS. The total distance of
the route. following all its SinuoSitles, cannot
exceed ninety or a hundred miles at most, fully
three fourths of which must be quite easy TO
follow. while the remainder is very clearly de-
scribed. Two weeks would therefore suffice for
the whole expedition"

TO CONSIDER
PAYNE BILL IN
DEBATE
COMMITTEE ON FINANCE WILL
GIVE ATTENTION TO VARI-
Gus SCHEDULES

Washington, March 2S.-The activ-
tiles of congress during the present
week will be confined almost exclusive
ly to the consideration of the Payne
bill in general debate. The senate
will not be in position to take up the
bill until it is passed by the house,
but the senate committee on finance
will give consideration to various
schedules of the measure. In the mean
time, the senate will do no regular
business with the exception of the in
steering committee" that no legisla-
tion beyond the tariff and the bill pro-
viding for the 18th census will
be considered has been set forth.
Opinions differ as to how long
the discussion of the tariff bill
by the house may continue under the
order of general debate, but most
members predict that the end will be
reached by Wednesday.
The house leaders are not quite as
sured of the advisability of permitting
opponents to amend the bill, and a
now becomes probable that general de-
bate will be continued until they can
reach sure footing ON that point.
Eighy- five members desire to. speak
under the present order. Among the
republicans who will be heard dur
ing the week are Representatives CAL
derhead (Kas.), and Needham (Cal).
The senate will adjourn tomorrow
until Thursday.

President Expresses Sympathy.

Paso Robles, Cal, March 2S.--Gov-
ernor Samuel Cosgrove of Washington
died here suddenly at $3.50 o'clock this
morning from chronic Bright's dis
ease. Although the governor had been
in poor health for some months prior
to his election las. November the
strain and work If the campaign
weakened him considerably and he
came to Paso Robles hot springs early
in January to recuperate. Slowly but
surely the mineral baths AMI waters
of the springs relieved his condition
and he gradually became stronger.
He felt so much improved that he
riskeA the journey to Olympia several
weeks ago to be inaugurated governor
of Washington and take the oath of
office, returning almost Immediately to
Paso Robles. This trip, however,
proved too much for his strength and
since his return here his condition has
gradually grown worse. For the past
two days he has been confined to his
room, with Mrs. Cosgrove in constant
attendance upon him. Although it Was
known that he was considerably weak
er yesterday, his death in the early
hours of the morning came quite sud-
denly and unexpectedly to his wife and
DR.. Frank w. Sawyer, the physician
in charge of the springs, who has been
attending him. Only a few hours be-
fore his death he seemed to feel some
what better and claimed he would be
able to return to Washington and take
up his duties as governor. The i'm
mediate cause Of death was the failure
of the governors heart. The body,
accompanied by Mrs. Cosgrove, will go
north tomorrow morning.

SENSATION FOLLOWS
SENSATION
ROBBlNG OF ONE SET OF OFFICES
IN SAN FRANCISCO BRINGS ON
OTHER OUTRAGE.

San Francisco, March 2S.-Eollowing
the startling developments yesterday
in the bribery-graf cases, when five
men, including the private secretary
of William j. Burns, and four Off
cials of the United Railroads, were ar
rested in connection with the alleged
purloining and copying of documents
from the office of Burns and the dis
trict attorney and the legal offices
of the United Railroads, the
private safes of Patrick Calhoun and
Thornwell Mulaly, his assistant, were
opened today and their contents care
fully examined. The forcing of the
safes was a continuation of the search
last night, when agents of the district
attorney made a dramatic raid on the
offices of the president of the United
Railroads, and followed Calhoun's re-
fusal to open them. The examination
of the papers in the safes was barren
of results, according to the searchers
Just as the search was almost fin
ished Stanley Moore, of counsel for
Calhoun, appeared with restraining
order signed by Superior Judge Mu-
rasky, enjoining the agents of Burns
and the district attorney from pro-
ceeding with their work Acting upon
instructions from Assistant District
Attorney Heney, the men refused to
recognize the order of the court and
continued their search.
Another development of the day was
the arrest Of Frank J. Murphy, associ-
ate counsel for Abraham Ruef during
Ruefs second trial, who was recently
tried and acquitted of the charge of
attempting to bribe a prospective juror
on the Ruef panel Murphy was taken
into custody on a warrant charging
him with receiving stolen property.
He was Immediately released upon
$4,000 bail. 1t Is alleged that Murphy
received some of the data said to have
been stolen from Detective Burns of

STOCK PRICES MOVE
LT|NG[Y
LOWERING VALUES FAIL TO
STIMULATE EFFECTIVE DE-
MAND FOR PRODUCTS.

New York, March 2S.-Prices of
stocks were irregular and halting last
week toward a higher level; this to
the accompaniment Of expressions of
discoura cement from various sources
at the slow rate of progress of busi-
ness improvement and the small ap-
parent prospect of early revival.
Opinions of accredited authorities in
the iron and steel trades were that the
lowering prices had failed to stimulate
any effectual demand for products.
The week was filled with reports of
intended further cuts in prices, of
curtailing production by shutting
down mills and of reductions of wages
The danger of strikes also entered into
the discussion.
In the copper trade some improve
ment in demand was reported and con-
siderable sales of refined copper were
said to have been made early in the
week. The subsequent subsistence of
this demand neutralized the effect. In
mercantile lines also in railroad traffic.
the returns show the disposition to
await the completion of the changes
in the import duties now under dis
cussion before forward steps are
taken. The condition of the winter
grain crops is another undecided
problem, although growing sentiment
of encouragement over the condition
of winter wheat is dscernible.
The money market offered no COM
plcations which had any influence, on
stocks. Money continued to flow from
the domestic interior to New York in

Came as Shock,

Olympia, Wash, March 2S.-The
news of Governor Cosgrove's death,
while not unlocked for, was consider
stood that there was no expectation
that the end was so near.
Governor Cosgrove had suffered for
a considerable period from kidney
trouble, and shortly after the close of
the primary campaign last fall and
during the election campaign, the ill
ness became acute. principally from
the vigorous mental and physical
strain he was put to during the siren
uous days before the primary cleo
tion, when his illness took a severe
turn. Within month after his cleo
tion, November 3, Governor Cosgrove's s
condition became so serious that it
was decided to take him to Paso
Robles for treatment.
At that time it was freely predicted
that the governor would not return
alive. He developed wonderful recu-
perative powers, however, and recov-
cred so that he was able to come to
Olympia during the recent session of
the legislature and take the oath of
office. The legislature at that time,
in response to his request, gave him
an indefinite leave of absence, and the
governor started the same day on his
return journey to California, where he
remained until his death today.
Governor Cosgrove is succeeded by
Lieutenant Governor NJ e. Hay, who,
during the governors absence, has
been the executive Of the state. Like
Governor Cosgrove, Mr.. Hay is a re-
publican in politics.
