DIR. JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE
BEGINS HIS NEW YORK CRUSADE

New York, Oct 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 unayailing and the
prophet gave vent to displays of much
petulence on finding that it was one
thing to gather a great New York au-
dlence, but quite another thing to COM
mand its interest after the first de-
IE2nds of curiosity had been satisfied
<ne 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
ASEowd, curious to see John Alexander
Dowie on his first appearance before a
New York audience. Fully 1000 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 600, 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-

TROTTING RECORD
AGAIN BROKEN

Wichita. Oct 20.-Such an ovation as
was given Cresceus when he trotted a
mile in 1:59& yesterday and made
a new worlds record has rarely been
witnessed The stallion was nearly
smothered to death, so eager were the
people to pat or get near enough to
touch him.
The day was simply perfect and the
track in prime condition. He was
paced by a running mate, Mike the
Tramp, to a sulky. Cresceus had no
wind break whatever.
The first quarter was made in 80
seconds, the half in 59&. the three
quarters in one minute and thirty sec
onds and the final mile in l;59&,
Mr.. Ketchum worked the horse out
before the final test in 2:l0 and then
sent him for the record. He broke
when he first scored for the word, but
on the next attempt WIS sent off, Just
before he reached the wire Cresceus
broke and 1t is believed he lost fully
three-quarters of second. He caught
handily and flashed under the wire in
1:59A.

HOPE TO SETTLE
COAL TROUBLE

indianapolis, Oct 20.-President Nit
chell, Vive-President Lewis and Secre-
tary Wilson met at the office of the
United Mine Workers of America yes
terday to consider the question of a
strike at the coal mines in the states
Of Colorado, Utah. Wyoming and New
Mexico.
After canvassing the situation It
was decided to delay any announce
ment of the date upon which the Of
fetal order for a suspension would be
issued
This course was adopted in order
to give time in which to make further
efforts to negotiate with the coal com
panies for a conference and an adjust
ment of the grievances complained Of
by the miners in these states. After
the conference President Mitchell said:
While we have received no direct
encouragement, we are nevertheless
hopeful that our repeated overtUres for
a peaceful settlement of the threatened
trouble will receive favorable consider
alton and that strike may be
ayerted.'

An engrossed copy of the decision al
so will be signed to-day.
i he refusal of Messrs. AylesWorth
ard Jette TO coincide with Lord Alver-
stones view was only known to a few
persons here last night, but at the for
eign office and in high government cil-
cles it has created painful impress
sion. There is no hope expressed that
the Canadian commissioners will re-
consider their attitude and sign the en-
crossed copy of the document which
will stand as the international record
of the tribunals finding.
After a brief secret session yeSter-
tlay morning the commissioners drove
to Buckingham palace, where they were
received by King Edward.
The Kings reception of the COM
mission was very simple affair. He
congratulated them on the conclusion
of their labors. was especially cordial
to the Canadians. and to the Ameri-
cans he said nice things about the
United States.

CONTINUED BOOM
in SILVER r1ARkET

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
2SA pence per ounce, equivalent, at to-
days rate of exchange to 62.23 cents.
AS the bullion value of the new Phil
A;ppine pesos and their face value would
Dbe identical with silver bullion selling
at GAL cents per ounce, the margin OF
difference, which was about Is cents
per ounce when purchases for the Phil
ippine coinage were commenced last
March, has now dwindled to 1877 cents.
The continued advance in the price
of silver. notwithst landing the with
<rawal of the Philippine government
from the bullion market, indicates that
purchases made for the new coinage
were not the most important factor in
bringing about the upward movement
of the market.
1t has gone up almost daily since, in
spite of predictions that it would de-
cline and consequently there is increas-
ed apprehension lest the advance
should continue to such level as to
make it profitable to export the new
coins from the Philippines
Their expectation will not be profit
able with silver at just GAL cents per
ounce. The price must go somewhat
above this level to make it 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 chance to make even a
small margin of profit over the expense
of shipping them.

which hundreds of persons started to
leave the hall, causing much confusion.
The exodus continued in spite of re-
peaied orders to close the doors, uc-
til nearly a third of the audience had
departed, many of the vacant seats be-
ing filled with the waiting crowd out
side. After order had been somewhat
restored, DR.. Dowie said:

Dr. Dowe took his text from the
third chapter of the Book of Revela-
ticns. the twentieth verse:
Behold. | stand at the door and
knock. If 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
shril 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 at the doors of workshops; at
the doors of places of business, the
doors of business institutions: at the
doors of the municipalities; at the
doors of halls of legislation; at the
doors OF princes and of presidents and
of kings, laundering at the door of

and say: Open that door and let the

defender in H. P. Dearing, general bag

At the convention of general passen-
ger agents in New Orleans the other
day Mr.. Dearing declared that the rail
roads were to blame for eighty per cent
of the trunk smashing that has aroused
such general complaint. He summar-
lied the case of the baggage man

Messrs. Aylesworth and Jette carried
their outspoken disapproval of the de-
cision to the point of refusing to sign
even that section of the decision giving
the Portland canal to Canada, and they
emphasized their attitude by walking
out of the Cabinet room in the foreign
Office before the signatures of the
others had been affixed to the historic
document, which has already been
printed and is ready for the session to

The only thing remaining to be done
at this session is that the majority of

which minutely determines the course

ALASKA BOUNDARY COM MISSION !.
SUSTAINS THE UNITED STATES

London, Oct. 1S.-The Alaskan bound
ary commission to-day reached an
agreement whereby all the American
contensoEs are sustained with the ex-
ception OF those in relation to the Port
land canal, which Canada wins.
All that now remains to be done is
fpr the commissioners to afiix their sig
&atures to the decision and complete
? the map which will accompany it.
On the map will be marked the
boundary line definitely fixing the di-
vision of American and British terri
tory on such basis that no American
citizen will lose foot of land he al
ready believed he held, while the
. United States will get all the water
1Ways to the rich Alaskan territory,
with the exception of the Portland Ca
nal, which gives Canada the one out
let she so much needed.
The long standing dispute was only
settled after week of keen. trying,
secret deliberation between the arbi-
traitors. Even up to noon yesterday
there was an acute possibility that a
disagreement might result, and the
whole proceedings fall to the ground

States were entitled to the heads OF in

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 cesa. Whether Messrs.
Aylesworth and Jette. the Canadian
commissioners, will refuse TO sign the
decision and make it unanimous. is not
known, but 1t will not affect the valid
ity of the agreement if a minority re-
port is submitted
By Monday afternoon it 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.

Mr.. Edison's experiments with X.
rays and with radium have convinced
him that radioactive substances are
not sources of energy. but are rendered
tiuorescent by the action of some hith-
erto undetected ether vibration or ray.
The ordinary electric arc, when raised
to an extremely high temperature,
gives off a ray which renders oxalate
OF lithium highly fiuorescent. My the

the rays which the new elements emit

undoubtedly all-pervading, but which
has not yet been isolated or measured
and which may have some extra plan
