north side of Hazleton also marched
here ami succeeded in closing the com
funk's No. 1 colliery at Nesquehoning,

e much crestfallen that they failed in
accomplishing; the object of their long
march.

Canada Will tiet uo o(Oir Mine.
Vanc-ocvkr, B. C, Oct. 16. The sur
vey of the disputed boundary line at Mt.
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.

Dowager Empress Frederick was mar
ried laet April to Baron Seckendorll, who
was h'jffmeiater under Emperor Freder

End of the strike.
Scbanton, Pa., Oct. 10. That there Is
a positive assurance of tho end of the
etrikeoMhe anthracite miners seems
certain today, in view of the prepara
tions which are being made all through
the Lickawanna valley for the resump
tion of work. The coal companies ore
their mine sidings with empty
cars so as to be prepared for the greut
demand for coal which will necessitate
the running of the mines and breakers
to their utmost capacity f ir week In
order to get the stock ahead to meet the
winter's demand.

Manila, Oct. 17. 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.
Captain Shields and his party, while
operating east of Torrijos, were taken in
ambush in the steep hills. They at
tempted to cut their way to the coast,
but became eubjected to the enemy's
four-sided fire, when Captain Shields was
shot twice and badly wounded. After
four had been killed and five wounded,
being out of ammunition, the command
surrendered through a uisnnderstanding
amoDg them to twenty-five insurgent
riflemen and 125 bolo men. The rebels
divided their prisoners into small parties
and conveyed them heavily guarded, to
impassable volcanic mountains-
On this news reaching Manila, two
companies of the thirty-eighth infantry,
under Colonel George S. Anderson, were
Immediately sent to Marindiique. This
force was followed by eight companies oi
the eighth infantry, under General Hart.
Tho combined force of 1300 men pro
ceeded to occupy all the towns In the
island. The wounded praise unstintedly
the care and services rendered them dur
ing their captivity by the hospital corps
men who were with them.
The Strike t Ended.
Philadelphia. Oct. 17. 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.
The conference resulted In an agree
ment to accede the demands, made by
the mineworkers' convention. The Phila
delphia & Reading Coal & Iron company
at once Issued the following statement:
"It hereby withdraws the notice
posted October 3, 1900, and to bring
about practical uniformity in the ad
vance of wages in the several coal regions,
gives notice that it will suspend the
operation oi the'eliding scale, will pay
10 per cent advance on September wages
until April 1, 1901, and thereafter until
further notice will take up with the mine
employes any grievances which they
may have."
Tiie Lehigh Valley company, in whose
region the sliding scale is also in opera
tion, will issue similar notice, as will
also the individual operators who were
represented at tho meeting.
This meets all the demands of tho
strikers and means the immediate end
ing of tho strike.
Much I.IKe Mlnnlng Link.
Albany, Or., Oct. 17. J. G. 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.
Under the Philippine commission, a
night school has been opened in Manila
for the purpose ol instructing in English.
More than 200 students are attending
and another school will be started. 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

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.
Astokia, Oct. IS Word comes from
Fort Cnby today that tha attempt of
Wolff A Za icker, the Portland ahipbuild
ers, to tloat the stranded lightship has
been abandoned for good, and the con
tractors are said to be thort u;My disgust
ed with the job.
It Is qu s'.ionabie now whether there
will be sufficient favorab'e weather to
permit of taking the lightship overland
to Baker's l!ay, ai:d tbe ctn!raco I who

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.
