Baker has been completed by Provincial Lurveyor Deane. The line places all the mines of Importance in the district on the American side, although a mi'e of extra territory Is given to British Co lumbia. The' chief importance of the survey is that Canadian government commis sioner, by locating the boundary line north of the mining camps, compels all Canadians (ending in supplies to the camps to pay duty, and this practically diverts the large trade to mines from Chiiliwack, B. C. to Sumas, Wash. afreet Car Collision In Seattle. Seattle. Oct. 10. A street car col lision occurred this morning early on the line between Seattle and Renton.

Full details are now at band as to the capture of Captain D. Shields and his party by the Insurgents in the island of Marindiique, laBt month and theirexperiences before their rescue. After weeks of captivity, bard treatment, hunger and continual marching to avoid the rescuing force, which greatly ag gravated the sufferings of the wounded, Captain Shields and bis command were delivered by the rebels to General Hart, last Sunday, at Buena Vista, on the Marinduque coast.

The confer ence between the individual coal oper atois and the representatives of the big coal carrying companies, with a view to bringing about the termination of the anthracite coal strike, was resumed this morning in the private office of President Harris, of the Reading Railway company.

Crawford and Orin Beam, of this city, have just dug upon the farm of Georgo Cochran in Taugeut precinct, all the bones, with one exception, of a man, which in a striking manner hav9 the characteristics of the supposed missing link. They represent a man abort four feet eight inches high. The'skull is lopho ceptalon, eighteen inches in circumference, lack ing tho usual sutures. The jas are projecting and the teeth perfect. The vertebra has an i xtra bone, ami a socket for a bone that is missing. The humer us bone of the arm is the customary length, but tho radius and ulna bones are much longer I ban the humerus, where generally considerably shorter, Indicating an arm that would reach below the knee. The bones of the legs and feet are those of a man, but large. Messrs. Crawford and Beam have made a specialty of this line of investigation for several years, and have a large col lection of skulls and bones, but none ke these. They are distinctly not those of 'an Indian, and they believe thev are the nearest to the missing link of anything found. The bones will be articulated Into a skeleton, photographed aud pictures sent off to several experts for examination. Julia Sherman Mick. Washington, Oct. 17. John Sherman Is dangerously III at bit residence on K street, in this city. The attack has taken the form of general debility incid ent to old age, and to tho effects of serious il'ness, from which be suffered while on a trip to the West lod es two years ago. He never has fully recovered from that illness. Mrs. Sherman's death duri.ig the summer at the old homestead at Mansfield, O., also had its effect on the venerable statesman, who deeply mourned her Iocs. Mr. Sherman returned to Washington several weeks ago from Mansfield, and since that time has been living in the family residence here. He was then feeble in health, but mas ablet') take daily drives about the city. For Ihe post week, however, he has been gradually gr.ow ing worse and weaker, and yester day and today his condition becoming serious, relatives In various parts of the the couutry were notified of the change. Some of them are expected to come to the city. There is said to be no immediate dan ger of death, and it is possible he may rally, if no further unfavorable symp toms occur. The ex-Secretary is in his 78th year. Mitchell Not KioMfled. Hazleton-, Pa., Oct. 17. President Mitchell, when shown the statement is sued by the Philadelphia Jc Reading Coal A Iron Company, said he would be glad indeed to know that the anthracite operators had decided to change the notices previously posted, so as to comply with the provisions of the resolu tion adopted at the Scranton convention. In the absence of definite knowledge re garding the action of the other-companies and the- individual operators, Mr. Mitchell was cautious about talking further for publication. The Btrike leaders, however, tjiink that i:o fault can be found with the present attitude of the operators toward the strikers, and although nothing is said about meeting committees representing the men, they think this is a matter-lhat can be eisily adjusted. The annonncement of the action of the conferees at Philadelphia was received here with demonstrations of joy, as all believe it means a spee iy return to work at better wages. McKlnley' "Benevolent Ainillatluu." Berkeley, Cal., Oct. 17. Preeident Wheeler, of the state university, has re ceived word that President Carl C. Piebn, has arrived in the Philippines and has commenced tbo work of inquiry into the conditions of thb internal situa tion, There he will have charge of the first census ever undertaken in the Philippines.

Dr. David P. Barrows, assistant superin tendent of public instruction, has been given entire charge of the schools iu .Manila. He will reorganize theiu ac cording to modern ideas. Jim flam I.e-.i I 1 brown Down. Washington, Oct. 17. An interesting story of the way Jim Ham Lewis was thrown down in New York yesterday it told ,by the New York papers. Ham left his other campaign engagements and hurried to New York, hoping to get some prominence by sneaking on the same platform with Bryan. He was re ferred to Crocker, and the big boss, after looking him over, said that he had all the freaks on hand he could rare for, and, although there-were a half tlczen meetings, Jim was not given a show. He then scooted back into the country to continue his talks to email audiences, where pink whiskers and scattering vo cabulary can do no good nor harr. Cruker In the Calilnet, Washington, Oct. 17. The belief is generally expressed, since tho demon stration in New York, that Bryan has actually promised Croker a cabinet posi tion. No other explanation is given of the manner in which tho democratic candidate accepted the attentions of Croker, the millionaire, who has made his money out of New York corruption. It is now t.elieved that the Bryan dem onstration will arouse the business men cf New York to tiie importance of de feating Bryan in order to prevent broker from beinii the right hand of the nation al administration.

Clark A Co., Fourth and Locust Streets, Philadel phia, Pa, 8 tf Subscribe for Tbe Chronicle, GENERAL BLACK UNDER THE FLAG Declares He Cau Xot Stand Anywhere Else While His Country Is at War Springfield, III., Oct, 13. "For my part, I can not, while my c.mutry is at war, stand anywhere but under its flag. Like Martin Luther, "Here I stand. I can not do otherwise, God helping me.' " With this utterance, in a tone of deep feeling, the cl injur of cue of the most remarkable meetings of the campaign was reached in the opera house at the Ilinoiscapital tonight. The speaker was Gen. John C. Black, a life-long democrat, a gallant Union soldier, democratic con-gressman-at-large from Illinois, and commissioner of pensions In Prtsident Cleveland's first administration. Tbe occasion was Gen. Black's appearance In the campaign in favor of McKinley' re election. Ci-.pt. J. B. Inman presided. He placed Gen. Black before the audience iu appropriate words, referring to his gallant military reeir 1 and bespeaking the satisfaction which those present felt. He spoke of Gen. Black as a representa tive of "a militarism not to feared, but to be loved and revered." Rehearsing tho story of the general's terrible wounds in the civil war, and of his refusal to go to tbe rear, insisting rather on remaining at the head of his command, Capt. Inman said: "Refusing to go to the rear, lie stands now where ho stood that day, for the honor and glory of that same flag." Gen. Black stood before an audience which filled the auditorium to the doors. As he looked out upon the sea of faces over which an expression of intense interest played, he said : refers to palmer "That mighty gathering means that the people are attending to their own business. And when the people attend to their own affairs they settle them right. ( A burst of applause here broke in upon the speaker.) He who recently stood among you, a towering leader, just called to his rest, gave us all an aphorism that will enduro. He said 'The af fairs of the people are safe with the people.' " A hush followed this reference to the late John M. Palmer. Thus Gen. Black began. He spoke at considerable length, and r.s he proceeded the interest deepened. The intense earnestness of the speaker spread to the listeners. "rvext Monday w ill be two years and eight months since Spanish treachery lifted the Maine into immorality and buried her crew in the waters of the gulf," he said. Then followed his de scription of the uprising of the nation and of the beginning of the Vwar of patriotism." "Men said: 'Until this war is ended I know no party. I know only my country.' Of them I was one.' " I.OfilOAL ARGUMENTS. Then caiim the logical argument which was unanswerable. Step by step Gen. Black traced the course ot events from tho blowing up of the Mainn until tbe presrnt tiint", with the government pie Ik-ed to tin. support of its sovereignty in thrt P.'iilij'i'iiies. "And still r ns a war i.f patriotism," said the spt. I;er again and again, as he tratvd the r-t-qiience. He described the treachery of Aguinaldo. "Somebody, God forgive him, has called him George Washington," said the speaker. (it n. Black told how hostilities were forc.-d. He went through all of the in cidents fixing the responsibility, with a soldier's sense of loyally and duty. And thatgreat audience followed breathlessly. The time came Jhe speaker dealt with the character of Aguinaldo. He quoted from the Insurpent chieftain's own ac count, a givvn in his appeal to the Civil'.' ', nations, and then he asked his hearers to imagine, if they could, Ad miral Deie- meeting this man upon hi quarter deek and asking his consent an one i.f tbe coverned. " I'll in is t'ie nun," he said, "upn whom that Kansas City rroad they were not democrats have been wasting sympathy, and w hom they have been asking yon to uphold." Clave I p the Attempt.

SURPRISED THE MINERS They Had Not Expected So Complete a Victory Ready to Resume Work Out Will Xot Do So Until More Companies Have Accepted. PorrviLLE, Pa., Ocrt. 13. The news received here that the demands of ti e anthracite coal miners' convention had been granted by the Reading Coal A Iron Company was ns welcome as It was surprising in the Schuylkill region. The labor leaders, were not in the secret. Ttiere will now be bonfires, meetings, parades and a general jubilation by the miners. Some of the conservative leaders favor arqtiiet acceptance of the victory, tfut it Is doubtful If their cjunsels will prevail. The Reading Company employs 23,000 men, one-fifth of the anthracite workers, and they will undoubtedly be ready to go to work just as soon as they are ordered to do so bv President Mitchell. The Reading Company has been rush ing its cars into the coal rt-gion ever since the strike began, and it is estimated that it has in the neighborhood of 10,( 00 emp ties now on sidings throughout the regbn at pointseasy of aeons. Striker are Finn, Siiamokin, Pa., Oct. 18. Notices that the terms of the Scranton convention have been accepted by the Philadelphia & Reading Coal A Iron Company wore posted in public places here and at the collieries early this morning. Strikers in the employ of the company say that while they are highly pleased over the action of the Reading Company, they will not think of goirg to work until fieir brethren employed by othtr com panies and operators aro granted the increase. It is the general impression here that all empioyeis will have film into line by tomorrjw, and that, a not'ea from President Mitchell, informing the strikers to go to work, will be issued Saturdav cr .Monday.
