NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-If there is any new
feature in connection with the search for the
body OF A. 7, Stewart and the robbers the
police do not seom to know it, Superintendent
Walling stated again fhs afternoon that he
knew nothing new in the case. Judge Hilton
called at Inspector Murray's office, but he re-
fused to speak to reporters. Inspector Muir
ray was reticent, as usual. The assertion
made vest rday and this morning, that de-
tectives are working up the case of the doctor
in Fourteenth street, who Is said to resemble
Christian, the Washington resurrectionist, is
generally denied by the police. VIM. Baker,
alias Burke, one of the men arrested for com
picity in the robbery of the remains, was
placed at the bar to-day under an Indictment
charging him with the forgery Of a check for
S4OO on the West Side Bank. No action has
yet been taken by the grand jury in the mat
ter of Baker or Vreeland's connection with
the grave robbery.

STLWART'S BODY.

Glue 10 the Chief RNbber-The Remains

-Ehe Statement C0ntradlcted By Au~
other.
NEW YORK, Nov. 21-The Star says: Late
last night it was announced that the photo
graph Of Geo. A. Christian, a notorious Balti-
more and Washington resurrectiOnist, had
been shown to the landlady Of q boarding.
house where the missing physician, who is
suspected OF being the chief Of the Stewart
vault rObber, formerly boarded. The photo
graph was recognized by the landIady as
that OF the physician thus establishing the
fact that the man who was seen in St Mark s
churchyard at 1 o'clock of the night OF the
robbery and Christian are one. Christian S
alias was DR.. Geo. Douglass.
This is strong presumptive proof that the
rifing Of Stewards vault was done by the
parties concerned In the Lincoln tomb desc
Grafton.
Stewards body is said to have been found
five days ago and is now in possession Of one
OF Judge Hilton's agents.
It is also said that nobody but Judge Hill
ton, Mrs. Stewart and one or two others will
know where the body is buried, or even when
it is deposited in Garden City.
The Times says: From no source could it
be learned yesterday whether additional ar
rests had been made, nor could it be definitely
ascertained whether the four chief conspira-
tors. about whom no anxiety Is felt, are
actually in custody or only so shadOwed that
they can be arrested at any moment.
The Tribune says: All trustworthy author
titles have declared that the body of Stewart
has not been recovered and no arrests Of the
real Grimm tls have been made.

ed-F0rthcOming Report Of the
Academy of sciences.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The report of the
committee appointed by the National Acad-
emy of Sciences, in pursuance OF act OF Con-
gress embraced in the sundry civil appropria-
Jion bill passed during the last sess ion of Con-
gress, relating to the consideration of scien-
titic surveys, carried on under the auspices of
the general government, lends much Interest
to the subject, although the proceedings OF
the Academy on this subject are regarded by
its members as matter of secrecy. Sufficient
Of the details have leaked out on which to
base the general idea Of the plan proposed
bv the Academy
while the changes recon mended are of rad
ical character the members Of the Academy feel
confident that they will be adopted in the
main. Various newspaper paragraphs al
ready published give various statements re-
they cannot be correct. For instance, mis-
take has been made in regard to the report In
relation to the signal service bureau, light
house board and geological surveys The
former ore not likely to be disturbed, while
the latter are to have an independent organi-
zation, the chief of which shall be amenable
to the Secretary of the Interior. It will be
quite independent of the Coast Survey. The
General Land Office, however, will be quite
absorbed by the Coast Survey. as the abolish
ed, and the land survey Is to be made BY til
angulation omitting the old system There
has heretofore been much controversy over
these surveys, but now that the entire subject
has received the attention and examination of
one of the most distinguished bodies OF scien-
tific men in the world, and as the recon-
mendatlons made by this body interfere
50 severely with some old and time
Aonored bureaus, which would perhaps
result in gradual extinction with some of
them, a most spirited conflict will certainly
be the result.
The report of the National Academy places

President of the United States to tender to
her Majestys government the sum of So 50O,-
900 in gold coin, this being the sum named by
the two cOnCurring memhers OF the fisheries
com mmission, lately sitting at Halifax under
Washington, to be paid by the government of
the United States to the government OF her
Britannia Majesty. | am also instructed by
the President to say that such payment is
made upon the ground that the government
of the United States desires to secure the
maintenance of good faith in treaties and the
security and value Of good relations between
tion with her Britannia Majesty's govern
ment and with all governments.
Under this motive the government OF the
United States decides to separate the ques-
tion of withholding payment from the con-
sideration Of the question of the obligation Of
this payment which have been presented to
her Majestys government in correspondence,
and which it reserves and insists upon. I am
besides, Instructed by the President to say
deems it of the greatest Importance to the
common and friendly interests Of the two
governments in all future treatment of any
questions relating to the North American fish
cries that Her Britannia Maiesty's gov
ernment should be distinctly advised that
the government of the United States cannot
accept the result of the Halifax commission
as furnishing, any just measure Of the val ne
of the participation by ollr citizens in the in
shore fisheries Of the British provinces, and it
protests against the actual payment now
made being considered by her Majestys gov
Crnment as in any sense acQuiescing in such
me sure, or as warranting any inference to
that effect.
