Sleeves are becoming an objective
point in the costume. This is probably
due to the extreme tightness of the
skirts, and the desire to increase the
width Of the shoulders as a counter
balance. Plain sleeves are becoming
only to perfectly formed woman, and
hence the efforts of the modistes to in
troduce them have failed. Our illustra-

WILL INJURE SANTA GO PROVINCE
Order to Transmit Customs Receipts to
 Havann Each Week.

Santiago, Jan. 2-An order has been forced, will mean, in the judgment of the commercial classes here, serious in- ton to transmit the entire customs re- ceipts each week to Havana. Compll- ance with such instructions would in volve the abandonment of many neces- sary public improvements and really in the matter of roads and waterworks. These funds have been used for meeting the necessary expenditures The Her. aldo says that to carry out this order would rob the Cubans of employment, the most of whom would probably take to the hills and become bandits, having no other recourse. Robert T. Mason, British consul at Santiago says it was Spain's practice of monetary centraliza- tion which cause most of her troubles in Cuba.
 General Wood, United States military governor, on being asked to express an opinion respecting the order, declined to be interviewed, but it is reported that without offering any criticism of the policy which dictates the order, he has shown his annoyance at the possi- bility of a stop being put to the good work being done in the province Lo- cal taxation funds are barely sufficient to meet the expenses of the city. There is nothing over for improvements ana ,the customs receipts gre considered by competent judges to be absolutely nec- essary for the successful management of the province. Popular excitement over the order is growing among all classes. The chamber of commerce, the sons of veterns and the supreme court and the San Carlos club have called meetings to take action and will pro- test against what is described as the policy of centralizing money at Hava- na."

RORRIBLE CRIMES BY THE ANII-
 RUSSIAN PARTY.
The Official, Who safeguarded Removal of COrean Emperor to Russian House, His Wife and Other Coreans Merct- 1essly Tortured-An This in Country
 Blessed With Christian Missionaries.

London, Jan. 3.-The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Times says: The correspondent of the Novoe Vrenya at Seoul, the Corean capital, relates the horrible crimes by the anti-Russian party, who since the departure of the Russian financiers and drill instructors, have wrecked vengeance by vile deceit and barbarous cruelty on the Corean ex-dragonman of the Russian embassy, the official who safeguarded the re- moval of the Corean emperor to the Russian mission house. The official, his wife and other Coreans were merciless- ly tortured with a view of compelling them to confess to a false charge of poisoning the emperor in order to shield the guilty parties. All this oc- cured in country blessed with Amer ican and other Christian missionaries and where American officials occupy in huential posts in the Corean govern ment service.

Narrowly Escape Sufrocation in n Coal
 Shnft Fire.

Carlinvllle, IL, Jan. 2.-The shaft of the Carlnville Coal company caught fire to-day by a can of lubricating oil being heated ,on a stove in the top of the tipple. A strong west wind famed the flames to all of the wooden part, which covered an acre of ground. The fire company was powerless as there was no water in the mains. The burn ing timbers and fire tumbled down in- to the shaft. Fifteen men were en- tombed below. The right shaft engine being seldom used could not be work ed. A panic ensued below, where the rush of air had eXtinguished the flames in the lamps, leaving the men in total darkness. They were scattered over a radius of three miles. Suffocation was narrowly averted. A scene indescrib able took place on top among the Wo- men, mothers, daughters and sweet hearts of the entombed men. The men were finally released from the mine un- harmed. The loss will aggregate $10,O0O with $5 900 insurance. One hundred families are rendered almost destitute as result of the fire.

Young Woman and Young Man Killed
 Others Injured.

New York, Jan. 2.-Seven young peo- pie of Mount Upton, Chenango county, were going to South New Berlin Satur- day evening on a ride. A storm came up and the side curtains of the surrey in which they were riding were drawn. As they approached the crossing of the New York, Ontario and Western raI- road, near Latham's corners, they were singing, and the driver did not hear the approach of a train which was twenty minutes late and running at great speed. On account of the storm and darkness the engineer did not see them until right upon them and then it was too late to stop before striking the wagon. The wagon was demolished and it's occupants were thrown into the fields. Miss Susan Thomas aged eight cen years, and Calvin Chamberlain, aged nineteen years, were fatally in- jured. The other members of the party were all more or less injured, though all are expected to recover.

 Baby Gibson of Cincinnati and Joe DoWney of Boston, mounted on a tan- dem. The little fellows covered the half mile in 1:01.
 The final heat of the mile professional resulted in close finish between R. A. Miller of this city, who had a handicap of 30 yards, and Oscar Hedstrom of Brooklyn, the only scratch man who qualified at the trials. They crossed the tape in the order named only a few inches apart. T. L. Kramer of East Or onge, N. J., won the finals of the half

 When Waller came on the track for the fifty mile race he wore bright red racing suit, brown cap and black gloves He rode a chainless machine. When the Flying Dutchman started off he did not catch his pace very quickly and nearly went a lap before getting behind his tandem. He made 8A laps in the two minutes conceded him and Bikes started out in pursuit.

When each had ridden twenty miles, Bikes was only 3-5 of a second behind in actual time At twenty-one miles and three laps Bikes overlook Waller and shot ahead of him. At twenty-five miles Bikes was one lap ahead and still going nicely.

No Word Received From Otis Regard-

 Washington, Jan. 2.--Nothing more has been heard at the war department from General Otis at Manila. The sit uation is irritating in the fact that, ac- cording to the experience of the last few days, it is not to be expected that any more can be heard from Iloilo for a day or two at least, except in the very improbable event that the Ameri- can force has been repulsed in their ef forts to make a landing and has been obliged to return straight to Manila. It is surmised from the reports that Gen. eral Miller is proceeding with more tact and with less roughness in his dealings with the insurgents than appeared from a first impression of the reports. His a formal recognition of the insurgents as might tend to embarrass the United States government hereafter, but at the same time not to deal harshly with them if they can be brought to see the
 
 the officials are of the opinion there will be no actual hostilities between the forces arrayed against General Otis and his own but that at the worst the former will retire from the city without accepting or rejecting the American overtures until they have heard from Aguinaldo General Otis has taken steps to acquaint General Miller with the very latest instructions of the presi- dent and special messenger is now on his way from Manila to Iloilo.
 Although officials profess strong be- lief that no serious trouble will occur, they have taken the precaution to eX- pedite the dispatch of military reinforce ments to General Otis command in the Philippines. Orders have been issued for the 20th regiment of infantry at Fort Leavenworth to time it's departure so as to be in San Francisco by the 7th inst. in order to embark on the military transport being fitted out to sail for Manila on that date, if possible. The two other infantry regiments which are under orders to proceed to the Philip pines by the Pacific route-the 3d and 22d, will follow as soon as means of water transportation can be secured. Three other regiments are also under orders to proceed to Manila by way of the Mediterranean and Suez canal. These are the 4th, 10th, and 14th infan- try. They will make the trip on the new transports Mobile and Mohawk and, unless present plans miscarry, they will embark at New York on the 17th inst. Major General Lawton, who has been ordered to take charge of the military in the Philippines under the direction of General Otis, as military governor of the archipelago, will &C., company the expedition from New York after conference here respecting the administration of affairs in the Philip pines.

 Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 2.-The fight for the next United States senator from Pennsylvania, depends largely upon the time of holding the Joint republican caucus. Senator Quays friends have fixed the meeting for tomorrow even ing and if the majority of the republi- can legislators attend his nomination is assured His managers predict tonight that the caucus will be held at the ap- pointed time and that there is no ques- ton as to his success.
