The coast and geodetic survey has
recently completed some very careful
dwelling operations which show that
the surface Of the Gulf of Mexico lies
perceptibly higher than that of the At
lantic ocean Btween the surface Of
the ocean at st. Augustine, on the east.
ern snore of Florida, and the surface
OF the gulf at Cedar Keys, on the west
ern shore, there is mean difference
in level Of nine-tenths of a foot. This
is considered to be sufficient to account
Tor the outpouring current Of the gulf
stream, which in the narrower part of
the Strait OF Florida touches bottom.
The surplus ofywater which raises the
gulf above the level Of the ocean is
apparently received through the Yu-
catan channel, being driven in by the
prevailing equatorial currents from the
east.

The International Railway Surgeons
convention recently approved certain
hygienic suggestions made by DR.. j. N.
Hurby, and it is said that two of the
western railroads have already agreed
to carry them out. They call for the
removal from passenger cars Of plush
coverings, carpets. boxes over steam
pipes, carved work, slat blinds and all
other materials, fittings and ornaments
that are likely to catch or disseminate
disease germs. Doctor Hurby said I'M
pleasant things, too. about the tin
drinking cups used by everybody, and
advocated providing individual paper
CUBS. OF course, he did not fail to give
4 thrust at the ventilating appliances.
in all these matters there is room for
Improvement. and doubtless travellers
BY railway would willingly dispense
with plush and gingerbread work" in
favor OF clean. airy. wholesome cars.

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. S.-The result of
yesterdays elections show that the gov
eminent has been successful in securing a
majority Of from 80 to 20 members on the
returns heard from, with s districts to
near from. Yesterdays elections were
in POS out of the 2l3 constituencies OF the
dominion, and the remaining five will
hold their elections at later dates. This.
of course, makes It entirely possible that
when the elections are completed and
when the later returns are received the
present apparent majority may be re-
duced somewhat.

ALLIES ARE AGREED
Dr"' OF The Demands Already Made

hHt"us Nuup
Up.
Pekin, Nov 10, via Shanghai. Nov. ~
The ministers at their meeting Ia Of
thursday made substs initial progrses
IN Formulating the demands that will
DC presented to the Chinese govern
hieht. while the utmost secreyc is
maintained regarding the actual ma
ture OF the demands, your correspond
ent believes that an agreement has
practically been reached and that II
the draft of the demands has not AL
ready been handed to the allied gov
ernments it will be shortly. The min
listers will hold another meeting on
NOV. IL. 1t is understood that the
are based on the French
note, but differs therefrom In some
respects, besides containing some adj
ditlona' demands. For instance, the
french note made no mention of the
murder of Baron Won Ketteler. the
German minister who was killed by
the Chinese. 1t is
Almost Certain
that the demands will insist that
proper reparation be made for this
murder, and hat the Chinese perform
a substantial act of humiliation to
give satisfaction to the German gov
eminent. 1t will even be suggested
that a prince of the royal blood pro-
coed to Germany and humiliate him
self before Emperor William. 1t is
understood that the ministers at their
meetings have discussed. in addition,
to the French note, the question of
indemnity. One suggestion made was
hat China be compelled to pay for
the actual damage done, and in addi-
ton, to meet the expenses of the war
and all of the expenses incurred in
maintaining troops here. Altogether
this would probably make a $500, 900, 900
bill for China to settle. Foreign super
vision Of the revenues and guaran-
tees for the payment of the indemnity
were discussed. as was also the ques-
ton of opening
The Whole Country
to trade. The protection of mission
aries was also under consideration,
but it is not known whether this will
be included in the demands. A tele-
gram from the dowager empress to Ii
Hung Chang saying it was impossible
to punish Gen. Tung Flu Hysang and
that the utmost punishment that
could be inflicted on Yu Hsien, gov
n Of Shansi, would De Punishment,
caused somewhat of a shock to the
ministers, yet such a statement must
have been expected, because the court
is absolutely at the mercy of Gen.
Tung Flu Hysang. The dowager en-
press and the emperor are dependent
Upon his troops for their own protec-
ton. If the demand for the deaths OF
these officials takes the form of an
ultimatum the dOwager empress will
be placed in a most awkward position.
The effect would be necessarily to
prolong the negotiations u~nreasonably
with no certainty Of ultimate success.
