ALASKA BOUNDARY COMMISSION
SUSTAINS THE UNITED STATES

American argument that the United
States were entitled to the heads of in
lets. as contained in question five, held
out that Canada had established her
case In questions two and three, deal
ing with the Portland canal.
After luncheon Senator Lodge. Sec
retary Root and Senator Turner agreed
to cede those points and to start the
American boundary line from the head
of Portland canal. thus giving the Ca
nadians that chanel and some small
islands on which there are only few
unused storehouses.
This accomplished. the majority of
the tribunal agreed to fix, with this ex-
ception. the entire boundary as outlined
in the American case. Whether Messrs.
Aylesworth and Jette. the Canadian
commissioners, will refuse to sign the
decision and make 1t unanimous. is not
known. but 1t Will not affect the valid
ity of the agreement II a minority re-
port is submitted.
By Monday afternoon II is hoped that
everything will be ready for signature.
though the actual marking of the line
on the map which shall forever de-
termine the respective territories will
occupy some time.

DR.. JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE
BEGINS HIS NEW YORK CRUSADE

New York. Get. 1S.-John Alexan-
der Dowis. who calls himself Elijah the
Restorer. faced his first New YORK au-
dience to-day. and. although Madison
Square Garden was thronged at the
afternoon and evening meetings, and
thousands were turned away from the
doors. he found himself confronted
with what he called a new experience
when Thousands. having evidently sat
isfied their curiosity, threw the meet
ings into confusion by their sudden ex-
odus before the ceremonies had fairly
begun.
Commands TO close the doors and
prevent exist were unavailing. and the
prophet gave vent to displays of much
petulence on finding that 1t was one
thing to gather a great New York au-
dience, but quite another thing TO COM
mand its interest after the first de-
mands of curiosity had been satisfied.
The house-to-house visitation by the
hosts of crusade meetings will be in
augurated tomorrow.
Five thousand persons were turned
away from Madison Square Garden this
afternoon. after all the seats in the
building had been filled with a great
crowd, curious TO see John Alexander
DoWie on MS nrst appearance before
New York audience. Fully 1900 per-
sons were in the Garden at half-past 2
o'clock when the services began with
the professional hymn which the Zion
white-robed choir. to the number of
about GOO. and the capped and gowned
ordained officers of the Christian Cath
olic Church in Zion took part.
The service of prayer opened with
the invocation by DR.. Dowie. followed
by the singing OF hymn, during which
the crowd continued to pour into the
Garden. This was followed by the re-

that the motion for a continuance was
denied.
Attorney W. V. Elliott and Judge
Advocate Greer then had n little tilt
as to whether General Chase should
plead on each charge and specification.
Attorney Elliott contended that 3 plea
OF not guilty to all charges was prop
er. Captain Greer insisted that plea
be entered for each Of the charges
separately. 1t was agreed that General
Chase would plead to each OF the
charges. The charges were then read
by the judge advocate.
General Chase pleaded not guilty Ia
each of the charges and specifications
as read.
The court granted Mr.. Elliott. attor-
ney for General Chase. permission to
use certain books In the preparation OF
his case. and adjourned to $3.50 this
morning.
Two charges against General Chase
were flied by Sherman Bell. ndjutant

ground that he had insufficient mill

agreement whereby all the American

All that now remains to be done is

CONTINUED BOOM
IN SILVER rlARkET

Washington, Oct 1S.-Another slice
was taken off the rapidly narrowing
margin between the bullion value of
the Philippine pesos and their face
value yesterday by an advance in the
price of silver bullion in London to
esq pence per ounce equivalent. at to-
days rate OF exchange to 62.23 cents.
As the bullion value of the new Phil
lppine pesos and their face value would
be identical with silver bullion selling
ut GAL cents per ounce. the margin of
difference, which was about 10 cents
per ounce when purchases for the Phil
ippine coinage were commenced last
March, has now dwindled to 1.S7 cents.
The continued advance in the price
of silver. Notwithstanding the with
drawal of the Philippine government
from the bullion market, indicates that
purchases made for the new coinage
were not the most important factor ir
bringing about the upward movement
of the market.
1t has gone up almost daily since, in
spite of predictions that 1t would de-
cline and consequently there is increas-
ed apprehension lest the advance
should continue to such level as to
make 1t profitable to export the new
coins from the Philippines.
Their expectation VIII not be profit
able with silver at just GAL cents per
ounce. The price must go somewhat
above this level to maze 1t worth while
for bullion dealers TO ship coins to mar
ket in Asiatic ports.
There is much difference of opinion
as to how high silver can go without
starting an outflow OF the new coins
from the islands, but the Chinese mer-
chants at Manila can be depended upon
to begin their expectation as soon as
they can see a chance to make even
small margin of profit over the expense
of shipping them.

Behold. stand Mt the door and
knock II any man hear my voice and
open the door, will come into him and
will sup with him and he with me"
With his arms above his head. in a
shrill voice that reached the farthest
parts of the Garden. he cried:
''oh. It is good TO know that God
has not ceased to knock at the human
heart; TO knock at the doors of homes;
to knock Ht the doors of workshops; at
