TRACES OF THE MISSING LINK.
Scientist Thinks He Has Discovered
Them in the Philippine Islands.
From the New York Herald.

from the New York Herald.
Dr. George F. Becker, the government
geologist sent to the Philippines, in his re-
port expresses the opinion that the ape
like the creature termed "the missing link
may have had its earliest haunts in those
isles of the sea, at a time when. not less
than 100000 years ago. they were connected
with the mainland of Asia by a sort of
land bridge, via Borneo. In this opinion
DR.. Becker comedies with the late Prof.
Marsh of Yale University, who expressed
the belief that the Philippines were among
the earliest localities inhabited by the
human species, even if the latter did not
actually start there. The time may have
been 100000 years ago. but science always
wishes to be conservative
There are excellent reasons, however.
for believing that homo sapens-the true
human being, as distinguished from the
typical epe-existed on the island of In-
zon, or in that immediate neighborhood
in the epoch called the pliocene, along to-
ward the end OF the tertiary period, which
ended about 100000 years ago with the
great ice age.
Dr. Becker surmises that the black
dwarfs of Luzon and other islands of the
group, known as Negritos are actually
descended from the primitive human
stock in question. These black pigmies
now nearly extinct, are astonishingly
monkey-hke in aspect. The sounds thew
utter in lieu Of language resembles the
short and sharp shrieks of animals. Ap-
parently they are not distantly related TO
the certain savages discovered in the in
terror of Borneo not exceeding four feet in
stature, whose wrinkled skins are covered
with hair and who sleep in caves or in
trees and live on mice and such other
small mammals as they can catch.
All through the larger island groups of
the Southwest Pacific are found more or
less differentiated tribes Of monkev-lllxe

town came TO the palace to see about

Charge against Former President of

Boston, Dec 23.-The trend OF affairs
connected with the closing of the Globe
National Bank in this city for the first
time developed a criminal aspect through
the placing under surveillance to-day in
California of the banks former president,
Charles II. Cole.
The charge against Mr. Cole is the old
one of overdrafts and over-loans, many
to himself. and the action of the receiver
of the bank ordering the arrest, while a
shock to the friends of the former presi-
dent was not a surprise.
1t is practically agreed that it was a
gigantic speculation IN copper stocks in
which Mr. Cole became so much involved
that the banks money and credit was
used until IL was well night exhausted.
The inevitable result of failure followed
after the bank was bolstered up by the
clearing house, which paid its indebted
