A copy of the letter follows:
If within a marine league Of the
coast of the United States any British
or French armed vessel should modest
any of our merchant vessels, you will
use all means in your power to defend
and protect such merchant vessels, and
within the harbors; and within the wa
ters of the United States above low
water mark, you will extend the de-
Tense and protection to merchant ves-
sells to whatever nation belonging. And
in all cases where defense and protec-
ton are hereby authorized, you will
take possession of the offending priv
ate armed vessels, if found or overtak-
en- within the jurisdictional limits Of
the United States, and give notice
thereof to the district attorney that
such proceedings may be had as the
case may require.
If any private armed vessel be
found within our waters or lowering
on our coast within the marine league,
and there be ground to suspect the
same of a piratical character, or that
she has been illegally fitted out, or
augmented in her force within the
United States, or has proceeded there
from in pursuance of any military ex-
petition or enterprise contrary to law,
you will seize the same and give like
notice, for the like purpose, to the dis
trict attorney of the United States.
If within our harbors and waters
you should discover any of our citi-
zens affording any aid to any foreign
armed vessel, either in repairing her,
or in furnishing her officers or crew
with supplies of any kind, or if you
should discover any pilot assisting in
navigating such armed vessel unless
for the purpose of carrying her beyond
the limits and Jurisdiction of the
United States, you will require two or
more of your crew to observe particu-
larly such citizen or pilot, so offending,
and transmit the name of such citizen
or pilot and the name Of the witnesses
to the attorney of the district in which
the offense shall. be committed in Or
der that such proceedings may be had
against such offenders as the law di-
reefs.
You will not construe these orders
as requiring to use force, beyond our
ports or harbors, although within a
marine league of our coast, in any
case when there Is not a prospect of
success.
You will issue orders corresponding
with these to all the officers under

SAINT PAUL MAN
CLAIMS TREASURE
ALLEGES HE UNkNOWNINGLY
BROUGHT GOLD FROM ENG.
LAND WHEN A BOY.

Prairie du Chen, Wis, Dec. "A
claimant has appeared for the horde
Of gold found on the Nagle farm near
Patch Grove about the first of Septem'
Der in the person of one Tom Riley, a
blacksmith supposed to be living in
st. Paul.
1t was never known just how much
money Nangle and his hired men found
in tin cans that were hidden in the
stone foundation of the old barn. but
the finders have admitted that the
coins were dated along about 1920.
Nangle was an old bachelor who
died many years ago; but along In
1857 or 1852 the old bachelors sister
sent Tom Riley, her son, to the uncle
in this country to live with him. Tom
landed in Cassville, and from there
went by OK team to the farm near
Patch Grove. The boy was nine years
old, and bore a heavy box, which he
was instructed never to lose sight Of
and to deliver unopened to his uncle.
The boy delivered the box safely, but
never saw it again after placing it In
Nangies hands.
Young Riley, boy like, told his play
mates of the heavy burden he had lug
ged from England and wondered what
had become of it, as he was. anxious
to know what it contained The fol-
lowing year the barn, under which the
gold was found, was built, and it is sup
posed that this is the loot that old man
Nangle received from the boy.
AS time went by the old bachelor
made life unbearable for the young
ster, and he went to work for a neigh
bcr, where he remainded for several
years, afterwards marrying the neigh
boris daughter. Riley then went with
his wife to st. Paul, where he engaged
in blacksmithing, and where he has
lived ever since.

PACHECO PLANS
WAR ON CAUCUS
HELD in SECRET

Supervisor VI. {. PacheCo and the
rest OF the Democrats on the board
have come to an open issue on one
subject, at least. and that is the
secret caucus system.
Pacheco heard this morning that
the other members of the board had
held a secret caucus to which he was
not even invited. He did not so much
as know what the caucus was about.
This secret caucus system is
wrong, all wrong, and | for one do
not propose to do the peoples bust
ness that way declared Supervisor
PaChecO at noon, after hearing the re-
port that the rest of the board had
been doing some business without
him. Il shall refuse to woe IN the
affirmative for any measure that is
settled in secret caucus and not with
open doors"
PacheCo's fight on the secret caucus
system will, it is probable. start with
the next meeting of the board.
While nothing definite could be
learned as to what the caucus was all
about, it is supposed that the super
visors were considering the proposal
to repeal the recently enacted plumb
ing ordinance anu also the plan to
shake up the road department and
get rid of some incompetents. Super
visor VOTERS measure to raise the
pay Of road laborers to 25 cents al
hour may also have been considered.

Blind Pig NEAR
RESERVATION

Willie Sam, a Chinese, found him
self in the clutches of the law this
morning, and before gaining his re-
lease was obliged to part with $50
in the good coin of the realm, to set
tie fine, assessed by District Magis-
trate Monsarrat.
The youth was charged with main
tanning a blind pig at Wahiawa, and
according to testimony was caught in
the act of supplying stimulant by the
quart bottle, to all-comers.
License Inspector Fennell, and a
few officers visited the highlands
yesterday, and stationed themselves at
a convenient location declared on the
stand today to have witnessed a trans
action in which the defendant sold
several bottles filled with whiskey,
to purchasers, who later turned the
liquor over to the police officials.
The defendant is alleged as the pro-
prietor of a billiard parlor at Wahia-
wa. It is alleged by the police that.
Willie has been addicted to the rather
practice of doing out the
booze to enlisted men from the nearby
reservation.

SUCCESSFUL ROOT AND

The study of roots and herbs, their
character and power over disease, was
what led Lvdie E. Pinkham of Lynn,
Mass, to produce for womans ills the
most successful remedy the world has
ever known, and while she passed to
her reward some years ago, her work
among suffering women is still car
ried on by trained assistants and many
