C. Men- denhaU of tlio const and geological survey on the part of tlio United States , and Com missioner King on the part of Great Britain , will shortly leave Washington to determine the vexed question as to which country Is the legal owner of Pope's Folly Island , near the waters of the boundary line between the United States and Canada , oft the coast of Maine. The possession of this Island has been In dispute for the lust century tury , but Is now In a fair way to settlement The discovery has Just hccn made by Prof. McmfcnhnU that tbo first chart issued by Great Britain , showing the boundary line he- twccn the United States and Canada , gives " * thu former country the Island , hut a subse quent churt Includes it In Canadian territory. The Island Is not so valuable In time of peace , but In case of war , would bo a decided advantage to the country possessing It. In view of his latest discovery that the island , according to the chart of Great Brit ain , was conceded to the United States , the professor believes ho will have no trouble In Rottling the vexed question In favor of the United States. Wlt > t this question settled , * the only other Imriortntil one pending be- : twccn the United states and Great Britain Is the determination and marking of the boundary line between Alaska and the Brit ish possessions. The party which left hero In March last has been unable to accomplish much. W'.ion last heard from the mountains were covered with snow. It Is not believed that th'.i boundary line between the disputed possessions can now be marked for a year because of the unfavorable weather. CAPTAIN MIXKIfS CASE.

The preparation ol Instruclior.s by the State department which will soon bo forwarded to Ambassador Buy- nrd , directing him to make Inquiries con cerning the condition of Captain W. C. Miner , U. S.

It is the only case on record of r murderer borne on the rolls of the unity ant drawing the pay of his grade. The salary is not paid to him direct , but It goes to his lately appointed conservator , and he wil continue to draw it as long as he remain ! alive. It is In consequence of the pay that Am bassador Bayard will bo directed to inquin Into the case. Every few years n forma inquiry of this kind is made through tin regular diplomatic channel tin order lhat tin War department may feel satisfied that it ii not paying a salary to a dead man. " Thcro has been no official report as to hii condition for several years. The lust repor from the superintendent of the Broadmon Lunatic asylum tolls the story of his crinn and conllncmcnt.

Br.nuN , Juno 18. The election returns were virtually complete at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The reports from 131 districts were then lacking. The returns may neces sitate a few alterations but they will ho trivial. The candidates elected number 215. Of thesn , 101 will vote for the army bill ; 114 against it. In the following list 'by parties the nntl- Scmltio conservatives are Included with the consct rat ires and the Independents are treated as members of the parties with which they affiliated in the last Holchstag. Liobor clericals , GS ; social democrats , 20 ; conservatives and agrarians , 44 ; national lib erals , 18 ; radical unionists > vho favor the bill , 4 ; Poles , 12 ; free conservatives , 10 ; cler icals favorable to the bill , 11 ; Alsatians , 7 ; south German democrats , 4 ; anti-Semites , a ( two of them favoring the bill ) ; Bavarian agrarians , 2 ; Guclphs , 1 ; Danes , 1 ; Bavarian separatists , 1 ; Hlchtcrists , none. Among the candidates in the 181 tio\v bal lots there will bo 10 Poles , 52 conservatives , 0 agrarians , 7 free conservatives , 70 national liberals , HO clericals , 77 social democrats , 11 radical unionists , an Hlchtcrists , 10 anti- Semites and 8 Guelphs. As was expected the latest returns have Increased steadily the list of members upon whom the government can rely for support. While the victories of the social democrats have been regarded with alarm , their Im mediate effect upon the fate of the army bill will be more than offset by the losses of thu Hichtcr radicals. rinns of the Ministry. After four hours in conference yesterday afternoon the ministers who had met to dis miss the results of the election decided that .n view of the recent results it' would be lUporlluous to Issue an appeal to thevcountrj > cforo the second ballots. On Frlday everal nlnistcrs favored this mode of arousing the rotcrs to support the government candidates , but yesterday only two of them were still in Tavor of the plan. The great majority of the Tiinistcrs are confident that by means of free conservatives and national liberals they can secure a number of seats at the second bal- .ots from the Hichterists and clericals. They depend upon the general alarm ex cited by the social democratic victories to drive clericals and opposition clericals into .he government camp In constituencies ivhere the contests arc between conserva- Ivcs or national liberal candidates and socialists. If these expectations bo realized , not only will the government open the " { eiehstag with almost half the members on ts side , but also will bo enabled at the Una ] > oto \ \ keep the social democrats down to n .otal of forty or forty-live voles. Combining AgnniHt tlio Socialists. The ministerial expectations of a general combination against the socialists are eu- tirely under ground , as shown by the action of the clerical leaders. Immediately after the election they sent out a circular letter to the constituencies to admonish Catholic voters that under no circumstances should thcj vote for army bill candidates lit the by-eloc tions. Since then the socialists have be come so great that the leaders have revoked their lirst letter and have sent out anothci calculated to solidify the Catholic vote against the social democratic candidates. even In cases where such a course will loaO to the election of a conservative or nationa liberal. , The Germania , organ of the north Germai clericals , and several o.ther Catholic dailies are now urging the Catholics in constituen cies contested by social democrats to ignori the army bill and vote-solidly for conserva lives , free conservatives or national liberals Where socialist successes are in question says the Gormanla , the Catholic voter mus subordinate all other duties to the duty o doing his best to prevent them. The dange of more social democratic triumphs must bi obviated at any cost. Strengthened Stocks. Operators on the bourse took a sanguini view of the government's prospects in ihi second ballots. Imperial and Prussia ! stocks , which weakened on Friday , weri strong yesterday in consequence of the re ports that the government would have i small majority at the opening of the Ketch stag. Scml-olllclal information that th chancellor would act on his latest proposal for taxes on bourse operations and splrituou : liquors helped to strengthen the prices. The official returns from many constitv oncies have been received and will bo pul lished tomorrow. They contain much Intel csting information as to the votes polled b , conspicuous candidates. Count Herbert Bis marck , who was elected by the agrarians 1 thoJerichow district , received 11,000 vote to 0,848 cast for Ferdinand Woellmcr , rad : cal , who was the last member for the dis trict.

Oulmot , acting minister of Jus tice , is engaged in preparing a tariff for judges and commissioners appointed to sit in extradition cases. Ho will submit the same to the cabinet for approval. This is an out come of the trouble which arose over the un paid fees in the extradition ease of Harris Blank and Carl llosowlg. There was a good excuse for some of the fees In this case not being paid by the United States. For instance , the judge who sat on the case in Montreal is said to have charged $20 per day. The statute docs not make provision for such charge. In fact , it is a direct violation of a judge's commission to make any charge In a case upon which ho sits. Magistrates and commissioners are different in this respect. It appears that , the United Stales consul general at Montreal inquired into these un paid fees nnd discovered there was no legal authority for charging. , them. Ho reported the same to Washington , and when the Canadian government was asked for the charges in detail it could not give them. When the tariff is made thcro will bo no difficulty in collecting the bill of expense either in the United States or in Canada , as the case may bo. Anjfun no MUST iv xiiAQRDr. AmbroHo S.

There was a wild rush if people to the World's fair this morning. i.'ho Sundaygolng crowd made no unusual iiaste ; it took its usual Sunday morning nap and ate its usual Sunday breakfast. The sun was high in the heavens and that lowing orb had begun to settle toward the ivest before the Sunday crowd began to pout n at the gates of Iho White City. Its make-uii differed little from the crowd that at- ended the fair last Sunday and the Sunday before. There wcro sounds of ivorkingmen , some of them alone and many of them with their wives and families , including the babes and dinner baskets. They strolled about the grounds , through the buildings and took solid com fort in the wondrous sights there on exhibi tion , and if any man imagined that the aKQ worker does not appreciate fine paint ngs and works ot art he should have seen the mullitudo of artisans that lingered in the halls of the Fine Arts building through out the afternoon nnd far into the evening. And when evening came thousands of fami lies crowded the benches on the Administra tion plaza and listened to the music of Hie band in Iho pavilions , and ale the lunches they hud brought out from their homes. They enjoyed it , too , and when the clos ing hour came they went homo , ap pearing , at least , to have spent n profitable and happy day. But the nrl . .nlleries and buildings containing works ol skill and science were not the only places patronized. The inhabitants of Darkest Africa , Asia and the isles of the sea , tempo rarlly quartered on the Midway plnisancc drew crowds of people to witness their wild fantastic dancing and hear their strange am : monotonous songs nnd music. The fortune tellers , magicians , camel drivers and dancer ; of the Cairo street , the South Sea islanders the Algerians and the Chinese , all enter talned thousands upon the grounds am thousands thronged about the wonderfu Ferris wheel , and all day long the captive balloon carried visitors skyward and le' ' them sco Chicago , the fjvir and surrounding towns , from an altitude of 1,000 feet. Ant so another Sunday at the World's Columblat exposition. Tlio great Ferris wheel , the Eiffel towei of the World's fair , is to bo formally openei to the public next Wednesday afternoon Over a thousand invitations have bcoi issued and included in the list are about all the prominent engineers in the country Excursion trains nro to bo run from Pitts burg , Cleveland , Cincinnati , Milwaukee urn other largo cities.

The formal usurpation of the palace by the provisional government nnd iho liolsllng of its emblem over It is regarded by the annex- ntlotitsts , and by many of the natives , as n fatal blow to monarchy.

The provisional government has passed a law glylng the attorney general discretionary power to bail persons charged with murder , treason or seditious offenses. Heretofore all offenses have been bailable , nnd the now law Is considered to boa further precaution to prevent conspiracies nnd to shut off the royalist natlvo newspapers from terrorizing the government. Secretary Wilder has been appointed con sul general at San Francisco. On June 0 Minister -ind Mrs. Blount left for a short visit to Maul , and though they will bo gone only until July 11 , rumors of Im pending trouble began to arrive before the steamer bearing the "peacemaker , " as Mr. Blount is called , had fairly got outside of Honolulu harbor. Royalists claimed ' .o have received reliable Information that the pro vincial government had decided to deport the ex-queen on the steamer Qlty of Peking , duo from China Juno 7. Troops were placed on guard at the cx-queon's residence to give the doporters n warm reception. No attempt , however , was made to deport the ox-queen. The provisional government played a trump card by publishing the lext of the power of attorney given by Lilluoka- lunl to Paul Neumann wbon ho wont to the United States. The annexationists claim that the power of attorney destroys the chief nrirument of the queen , as in it she ac knowledges her unconditional surrender to the provisional government. She had no thought of her people and thought only of her financial welfare , and it was a plain offer of sale on her part. W. G. Smith , editor of the Hawaiian Star , has been arrested on the charge of criminal libel at the instane-e of Claus Sprcckels.
