Workmen in demolishing an ancient
house situated in the Rue de Stras-
bourg. opposite the old Mont de Piete
ut Nantes, have made an interesting
discovery which is likely to attract
considerable attention, since the find
was at once dispersed by the men. 1t
consisted of number Of gold and sill
yer coins of different epochs. The
most interesting bore the efigy of Al
phonso VIII. king Of Galicia and Cas-
tile, who reigned from 1925 to 1853.
They bear on the exergse an inscrip-
tion in Arabic in these terms: 1The
Emir of the Catholics is aided by
Allah, and Allah protects them" The

one, and it is likely that economic
writers will not fail to make use Of
these. coins to show the trade reia-
lions OF Nantes, about the period of
the Hundred Years War.

Stricken With Hemorrhage in
New York Hotel.

New York Especially Paul Nor
ton, president of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society and Secretary of
the Navy under Theodore Roosevelt,
died Of cerebral hemorrhage In the
Hotel Seymour here Thursday night.
His wife and his elder brother, Joy,
were at his side ID minutes after he
was stricken, but he never regained
consciousness and at 6.45 o'clock, an.
hour after he was stricken, he died.
There will be no autopsy.
Mr.. Morton himself had no idea
that his life was in danger, but his
family, his physicians and few close
friends knew that his condition was
precarious and that II he did not take
care of himself grave results would
follow.
Joy A.. Morton gave full account
of his brothers i'll health and sudden
death.
Paul and took luncheon to-
gether at noon,'' he said. II had
just come on here from Chicago, and
Paul met me at the station. We went
to the Equitable building together,
where, at Paul's request, attended
a meeting Of the board of directors at
which he presided. Then we had
luncheon together in the building,
and sat together talking until per-
haps 2.30 o'clock.
II had other business and SO had
he. See you at the house at or a
little before, said, and we parted.
1 never saw him alive again.
Mr.. Morton was to have started on
a vacation trip to Europe February
~.
Y Coroner's Physician O'Hanlon said
that from the antecedent history and
the symptoms there was no doubt in
his mind that death was due to
arterial sclerosis, hardening of the
walls Of the arteries, terminating in
cerebral lesion
The death was reported to the cor
oner's Office in the usual stereotyped
form.
Few, If any, of the directors OF the
Equitable had news of the death until
they were informed by the newspa-
pers. E. w. Bloomingdale, Robert
De Forest and Frank s. Witherbee,
the last named also of the executive
committee, we're all deeply shocked.

Ell Paso, Texas Especial Fight
ing continues at Galeana, south OF
Casas Grandes, and runners brought
the news to Casas Grandes Sunday
that among the dead were many wom-
en- and children, killed in their homes
as the Federals fired on the insurgents
in the houses. Unless these couriers
are greatly excited it promises to be
the bloodiest battle of the present in
surrection when all losses are totaled.
Reports say that the dead and
wounded will total 800. Casas
Grandes is still in the hands of the
Federals but the inhabitants are not
certain how long it will be held.
1t is claimed now that the rebels
are attempting to take all towns
along the Ell Paso Northwestern road
south of here and hold the line in
order to use it to take supplies to
their troops from Ell Paso Juarez,
opposite Ell Paso, according to these
statements, is to be taken. AS in
dicating that the Mexican govern
ment places credence in these reports
it sent another hundred cavalrymen
to Juarez from Chihuahua Sunday.
Fiscal guards in Juarez reported
Sunday that 200 revolutionists
crossed the Rio Grande at Guadalupe
east of Ell Paso Saturday going
south This report was made to
their commander.
Reports from Guerrero and
Ojinaga show the Federals in as seri-
GUS condition there as at Galeana.
Navarro is completely cut off from
chihuahua and the rebels boast that
their retreat from Guerrero was to
draw him further away from his base
of supplies and then annihilate his
command. He has been cut off for
a week and the rebels are attacking
his commands in all the smaller
towns, around Guerrero and Temo-
sachic, assisted in their attacks by the
Tarhuamara Indians
At Ojinaga General Luque has had
to send out all the troops he can
spare to reinforce the small garrisons
he placed in the smaller towns and
is now said to be surrounded himself
by rebels at Ojinaga. The loss
among the Federals around Ojinaga
is known to have been heavy of late.

T0l FIND MORE WORLDS
Carnegie Gives $4,000, 900.
More For Research Work.

New York Especial The dona-
ti3n of an additional endowment of
sic, 900 900 to the Carnegie Institu-
tion Of Washington BY Andrew Car
negie, the founder, was announced
Friday This brings Mr.. Carnegie's
gifts to the institution UP to a total
of $4,000, 600.
Coupled with the formal announce
ment was declaration BY Mr.. Car
negie that the work Of the institu-
ton had cleared from blame the cap
tain ola British ship who ran his yes
sci upon the rocks by proving that
the British Admiralty charts, by
which the captain was guided, were

10000 New Worlds Discovered.
The discovery Of 10000 new
worlds by Professor Hale at the OBJ
servatory on Mount Wilson, Califor-
mia, also was announced. The OBJ
servatory was established by the in
stitution, and its operations and dis
coveries afford Mr.. Carnegie more de-
light, perhaps, than any other work
ings of the institution.
Mr. Carnegie also announced that
a far more powerful telescope than
man has ever made is now under con-
struction for the Mount Wilson OBJ
servatory. With it he hopes to make
possible the discovery of still more
celestial bodies.
In confirming report of the en-
dowment, Mr.. Carnegie said:
The report is correct. They had
a large endowment before and $10,-
600, 900 makes the total of their en-
dowment $25, 100000, but the insti-
tuition has already scored successes
to Justify even that sum. I believe
that the institution in research will
pay tenfold in service to the world
