quently no information resulting from
those late instructions could have been
received.

A Story OF Missing Letters Denied
Revolution Foreshadowed.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE state
ment of democratic member OF the
house foreign affairs committee that
two important dispatches from the late
Secretary Blaine to Minister Stevens
are missing is denied ut The state de-
partment The story probably origi-
mated from information given to con-
gresham that letters from Minister
Stevens to the secretary had for some
time +, rshadowed probable outbreak
at Honolulu. One in November, 1892,
detailed the manner in which it would
probably occur and 70 etold the char
acter of the revolution in way which
was verified by the events of January,
it is said, in minute particulars. Toall
this informa ton from Minister Stevens,
it is said. there is no response from the
cretary of state in the records. The
inference is that Minister Stevens I'M
derstood what was desired and did not
need further written instructions 1t
is claimed also that these dispatches
from Stevens are to be relied upon to
show that he had an understanding
with the leaders of the provisional
government as to the action they were
going TO take months before the revo-
luton.
There is nothing ut the White house
or state department to show that in
formation on the Hawaiian question
will be transmitted to congress to-day
or at any time in the near future. APP
parently the preparation of reports in
the state department is completed and
can lie sent in Mt any time the presi-
dent pleases to transmit IL.

PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE judicial inquiry
into the tomb outrage will probably be
temporarily postponed, as the authori.
ties are convinced that Valiant had
accomplices and will continue their
efforts to discover them.
The detectives working on the an
archist conspiracy have arrested man
named Carl Stubb, militant anarchist
and well known to Valiant, and found
a loaded dynamite bomb in his lodg-
ings.
The authorities are drawing up q
scheme for the adequate surveillance OF
persons known to have revolutionary
tendencies. Commissaries of police
will be established in various towns
which hitherto have been without
them. and large sum will be placed
at the disposal of the projects to en-.
able them to keep sharp watch upon
suspects. The whole machinery will
be in working order at the beginning
of the new year.
Leopold Koch, an Austrian shoe
maker. who had been employed here,
has been ordered to quit France within

LOST THIRTEEN DOGS.
Illinois Fox Hunters End Up In Chase
After Supposed Panther.

Illinois Fox Hunters End Up In Chase
After Supposed Panther.
CANTON, ILL.,, Dec. 14.-Ordinarily the
loss OF a dog or two is hailed with un-
feigned delight by the average com
munity, but there is mourning in Can
ton over the continued disappearance
of thirteen as fine fox hounds as ever
bayed the moon. And the worst of 1t
lies in the grewsome fact that the num-
Der of CANNES is fatal-unlucky.
James Barnard, Amos Wysong and
William Fitzgerald are true and mighty
hunters of the old school. These men
have returned. however. from long
ind bootless. or tailless fox hunt in the
famous "l,lack Jack" covers of Fulton
county. Twenty hounds were used
the pick of several large packs that
may be found on Mr.. Barnard's dog
ranch near Canton.
Despite the fact that the Canton
hunters did not secure a brush, they.
nevertheless, had a glorious chase. Sew
eral foxes were started, but for some
peculiar reason the dogs took no inter
est in the chase after reaching GER
tain part of Fulton county's BLACK
Jack" region. In fact, the animals
seemed cowed and nervous, and their
deep-toned baying changed alternately
from yelps of rage and fear to piteous
whines.
"Boys, there's big game around here"
said one of the men,
No sooner had the exclamation been
uttered than a chorus of yells and
snarls emanated from growth OF un-
derbrush not far distant. The riders
put spurs to their steeds and dashed
forward. But the dogs had evidently
given chase to the strange brute-a
panther as believed, and they were
soon lost in the underground. Sounds
of lively fight were heard at dis
lance, and after long chase seven OF
the dogs came scurrying back, show
ing evidence of hard work.
All attempts to find the other ami
mails proved unavailing, and the sports
men returned to Canton, vowing to or
ganize party to hunt down the wild
brute that has no fear of twenty good
dogs.
