p WASHINGTON, March 8. - Admiral
Dewey is again pressing on the navy de-
partment the urgent need Of vessels Of
light draught IS q means Of commune
cation among the numerous small ISL
ands Of the Philippine group. To this
end the gunboat Vixen, which figured
bravely for vessel Of her light calibre
at the outset OF the Cuban campaign,
has been ordered to be Immediately 1T
ted out at the Norfolk hayward for sail
ing for Manila. This will take about 8
month and it probably will be three or
four months before she joins Dewey's
feet. Besides the Concord, which, is
perhaps little too large to be classified
as one of the small craft, the only light
vessels now in the Philippines avail
able for running about those waters are
the Petrol and the Helena. The Cas-
tine and Princeton, however, are now
speeding in that direction, but the small
craft equipment there will still be in
adequate. sgfa; 5.5& n.

to-day. They will be escorted to their
lines under a flag of truce. 1t is ex-
pected they will return soon.
President Gonzaga of the Philippine
commission, previous to his departure,
said: "We greatly appreciate the
courtesy shown US We have spent
some time with your commissioners,
incidentally considering the American
constitution. Its principles impress
us profoundly.
THE plan of government offered
the Philippines seems in theory good

nation with your constitution seek to

have been so long fighting against
Spain to secure the same rights your
constitution givesP You fought the

Keep Warm by Breathing.

The simplest way to get warm after
exposure to cold is to take a long
breath with the mouth firmly shut. Re
peat this several times until you begin
to feel the heat returning. 1t requires
a very short time to do this. The long
breath Quickens the pulse and thus
causes the blood to circulate faster.
The blood flows into all parts Of the
veins and arteries and gives out q
great deal OF heat It is stated that
this method Of deep breathing prevents
colds and a great many other ailments
if begun in time.

a Heavy Sea SpIashIng Around the City
of Paris
CovERACK, Cornwall, May 27.-The
wind has veered to the eastward.
There is heavy sea and the Paris is
rolling heavily.
CovERACK, Cornwall, May 27.-A SUI
preme effort to float the American
line steamer Paris began yesterday
afternoon. Smoke was then belching
from all her tunnels, and the tugs as
sisting her churned the water into
foam. The noise of the straining en-
gines was audible long distance.
A fresh east southeast breeze was
blowing and the sea was rising as the
attempt was made to refloat the
steamer. When the tugs and the en-
gines of the Paris were going at full
speed the steamer appeared to be
swaying trife, but the leakage in
the engine room was increasing.
The attempt resulted in another
failure. The Paris is in the same po-
sition, which is now regarded as very

Native Industries DID Not Suffer
Greatly by the War.
WASHINGTON, May % In the state
ment of the British commercial at
tache at Madrid, II. Harrison, whose
report to the British government upon
the trade of Spain for the year 1898
has just reached the treasury bureau
of statistics, is the following:
I'm spite of the wars and conse-
quent general excitement and heavy
taxation, native industries in Spain
have not suffered as greatly as it was
feared they would. The loss OF the
colonial markets, on which the ex-
port trade of Spain greatly depended.
has made it necessary for the
government to take serious steps
for finding new markets for Span
ish products and for stimulating
and enlarging those already known.
With this intention several important
measures have been instituted Com
mercial attaches have been appointed
for Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, Argen-
tine Republic and Chilli, and all pos
sible steps are being taken to increase
Spanish interest in these countries .

THE DEED OF 4 CRAZY MAN. .
Student of Tom Paine Murders
His Whole Family and Himself
SHOCKING TRAGEDY AT JOPLIN

JOPLIN, Mo-, May ga horrible
tragedy was unearthed here yester-
day when the dead bodies of family
of five were found in a tent in the
eastern part of Joplin, known as st.
Joe hollow. About six weeks ago
James Edwin Moss and his family To-
Gated in Joplin. The family consisted
of Mr.. and Mrs. Moss and their three
children, aged IL, 10 and years
They came here from Nevada, No,
but formerly lived in Independence,
Mo But little is known of the Moss
family's habits or circumstances, ex-
cept that Moss had been at work at
one Of the mines near by. The family
were strangers here and lived very
quietly.
Yesterday, while two boys were
playing near Moss tent, they noticed
great swarms of flies and a very often
sive odor. Upon going nearer the
tent they discovered the dead bodies
of a man probably so years of age
and a woman of about AS, and of
boy and girl. Upon going around the
tent they found the headless body of
little girl of about years. The
head, which had been cut off with
some sharp instrument, was lying
near the body. Examination showed
that Mrs. Moss, her son and oldest
daughter had been murdered by being
hit in the head with hammer, and
Moss had killed himself after murder
ing his family.
His youngest child was killed by
cutting its throat with razor, and
his own life was ended by a pistol
ball, which he fred into his right tenn
pie. The bullet passed through his
head, coming out the right side be-
hind the ear. No cause can be as
signed for this tragedy. Moss was
somewhat of misanthropist, Judging
from some of his writings, and was a
reader of Tom Paine. Two of Paine's
works were found in Moss tent and
one appeared to have been read con-
siderably. He probably became de-
spondent and sore on the world, and
while in that mood murdered his fam
lily and then ended his own life. A
note was left by him saying: "There
was no truer wife nor lovelier chill
dren than mine. J. E. Moss"
The tragedy had probably been COM
mitted about midnight Tuesday. for
all the family except Moss were in
their night clothes, and were in bed,
and neigh bors say they heard woman
scream about tn at hour.
Moss was member of Independ-
ence camp No. %. Woodnen of the
World, and paid-up policy for 81, COO

St Louis Democratic Conference Only
Listened to Reports

Listened to Reports
ST. LOUIS, No. May 27.-When the
conference of members of the Demo-
cratic national committee adjourned
yesterday afternoon at $50 o'clock it
had taken no action regarding the
policy of the party in the coming pres
idential campaign, and planks for the
platform were not even discussed.
The meeting, from first to last, was
one of discussion regarding methods
of work next year and the ways and
means by which this work could best
be accomplished All members were
urged to see that the organization OF
the party in their RESPECTIVE states is
perfected as soon as possible and all
preparations be made for the fight.
The matters of ANTITRUST" ''anti-
imperialism" and silver were not
touched upon. No action was taken
regarding them and no recommends
tions were made.
The next meeting of the conference
will probably be held in Chicago on
July 20, and Chairman Jones of the
national committee has been asked to
call formal meeting for that date.
It is expected that at this meeting
definite action will be taken and the
question of what is to be the rallying
cry of the democracy in the fall OF
1899 will be determined.
