weeks ago the wreclSing tug Emerald

ble, the location of the wreck of the
Pewabis. which went down sever
al years ago, and secure her treasnsc.
Tuesday everything was in readiness,
and they headed for the wreck again,
having on board Oliver Pclkey and
Michael McCartv, two of the most ex-
pert divers in the United States. Pelkey
insisted on going down first. In about
twenty minutes the signals stopped.
This caused considerable uneasiness,
and, after waiting few moments more
without hearing from him, they loos-
ened the connecting lines in hopes
that he might free himself. Force had
to be used finally. 1t required consid-
cradle of q pull to free him. and
bring him to the surface. A hole

BADLY MIXED.

A Recent Government survey May E.tab-
Iish the Fact That by nm Error In Lo-
eating the boundary Line Indiana En-
croaclles Upon Ohio's Territo ory- Illinois
May suffer.
lSDIAsAPOLIs, Ind, Nov. 1.-THE In
diana and Ohio boundary line question
has assumed startling aspect It is
alleged that Ohio is entitled to a slice
off Hoo,ierdom varying from l. miles
wide at the northern boundary of the
state to nothing at the southern
line. 1t is not generally known.
but it is nevertheless Il fact
that survey party. sent out
by the national government, has
been at work on the problem for the
last two mcnthe for the purpose of
locating the boundary line between the
two states. The work has been under
the direction Of Prof. Mendenhall and
has been personally conducted
by Col. Sinclair. The work
has been completed within the
last few days, and the surveying party
is now preparing its report which will
be ready 10 submit 10 the government
in about three weeks. The survey, it
IS said. will probably establish the fact
that the true line as declared when Ohio
became u state commences l.. miles west
of the present boundary line at the
north and run, directly south to the
present lin. between Ohio and Indiana,
thus making strip of 1.2O0 square
miles to which the state Of Ohio lays
.l.i, sEh.. trivN ,na ,lns,
the cities Of Fort Wayne. Richmond
and Union City and total population
of 200, 900.
The agitation of this question COM
nencei about 4 year ago through q
resolution adopted by the Ohio legis-
lature rcciting the facts as stated and
asking the national government to cor
rect the line. The detail of the sur
veying party to locate the line was or
aered by the government in compliance
with this resolution.
An inquiry into the causes that led
To the juggling of these boundary lines
discloses that ut the time Ohio was
made a state there were post traders
located ut Richmond and Fort Wayne,
whose trade with the Indians was
very profitable. II the line had been
run correctly these posts would
have been taken into the new state of
Ohio and the occupation of these
traders would have been gone. The
post traders accordingly bribed the
survey party which located the line
and Richmond and Fort Wayne were
left on the Indiana side.
The question is considered here as q
highly important one, for should the
claim of Ohio be pushed. Indiana. it is
claimed here, will insist upon having
rs her right corresponding slice off
illinois. The state charter provides for
certain width 1T the northern boun-
.ary. This, it is provided. is to be main.
lained on the east and to be continued
IN the west until the line reaches the
Wabash river, which it follows to the
Ohio river. which constitutes the south
ern boundary Of each state. The claim
will be pushed, it is said. by members
of the legislature here all the more as
The city Of Chicago would be included
n the territory, should it be captured.

LATER NEWS.
FrenziOd Chlliane.

SANTIAGO. Chilli, Nov. 6.-Thc news
papers here for several days have been
publishing wild stories about a conspir-
acy formed among the refugees at the
American legation to kill Gen. Canto.
A notice was circulated to-day calling
for meeting of people in the plaza to
denounce the conspiracy. Mr.. Egan,
the United States minister. informed
the junta that threats had been made
to attack the American legation and
capture the refugees, and he warned
the junta that it would be held rcspon-
sible for such action.
Later in the day several thousand
men ASSEMBLED in the plaza, and APP
plauacd several incendiary speeches. in
which the supposed conspiracy and the
United Strtes legation were denounced
The junta, upon receiving Mr.. Egan' 5
letter. sent a troop of cavalry to guard
the United States legation, and as the
meeting in the plaza closed, the inten-
dente published notice saying that
the stories of Il conspiracy were devoid
of foundation. Serious trouble was
doubtless averted by this action, AZ
though the government did nothing to
prevent trouble until receiving Mr..
Egan's protest.
