VICTIMS OF THEIR OWN CRIME.
Burglars Thought to Have Perished
in Blowing Up . Safe.

MIDDLETowN. N. Y. Dec. 5.-Strong
evidence Las been produced that the bur-
glars who blew open the safe in Howard 3
drug store at Hancock. N. Y, early on Sat-
urday morning were blown to pieces in the
shattered wooden building and then burned
up in the fire that followed, which consumed
the entire block in which the store was
located.
The safe in the drug store contained ST.
600, which was found intact. Twenty
pounds Of dynamite are missing from the
store of Kilpatrick's stone quarries, and
no doubt exists that this amount was ex-
ploded. II 1t exploded prematurely, while
the burglars were near it, there would
hardly be the slightest semblance Of Q
human being left of them. The explosion
was of such great force that the whole
back portion of Howarfs drug store was
blown out on the Erie tracks where a train
was standing at the time. The loss is esti-
mated at $50, 600.

THE MISSING YACHT.
Little Cause for Hope That the Paul
Jones nnd Her Passengers
Are safe.

ST. Louis, Jan. ia special 10 the
er thorough and fruitless search of
the coast, inside and outside, Chande-
leur, Ship and Horn islands, there seems
10 be little cause for hopes that the
naphtha launch Paul Jones is atioat,
and every reason TO believe that the
persons aboard of her have persisted.
Additional light is thrown on the move
ments of the launch after she passed
out of the Mississippi river by Capt.
o. Nielsen, of the steamer Georgia, ply
ing as a passenger towboat between
here and Ship island, who gives a de-
scription of launch which he passed
on the morning of January while on a
trip from Scranton TO Biloxi, tallying
In every particular with that of the
missing craft. Capt. Nielsen says that
the launch was about so feet in length,
with strongly built houses on deck, fin
ished in dark wood, probably mahog-
any, and attracted his attention be-
cause she was much larger than any of
the launches usually seen on the coast.
When the Georgia passed her she was
about halfway between Ship island and
the mainland and was heading for
Grants pass. This is the regular route
taken by pleasure craft, keeping in
shore. In the ordinary course of events
the launch should have reached Mobile
next day. This is the last information
obtainable concerning her.

and would not be ready 10 report to the
convention for several hours. A recess
was then taken until one o'clock in the

Prior to the resumption of the scs-
sion a sensation was sprung by the dis
covery that during the absence of the

unknown persons had entered the
committee room in the ST. Charles ho-
tel and mutilated the records. Eight
cen pages were torn from the ledger
and carried away, while many other
pages were blotted ard blurred The
thief or thieves left no clew and the
announcement of the outrage caused
intense indignation. The miners off,
Gals believe that the object of the per-
son who mutilated the books was to
destroy the records from Illinois. This
state had been gone over by the investi-
eating committee and no objections
were found to seating any of the dele
gates represented by the committee on
credentials. Another object the thief
may have had, ii is claimed, was to

Washington, Jan. 16. - President Nc
Kinley has decided to send a commits
sion to the Philippines to make thor
ough study of the situation and advise
him as TO what the policy of the
United States should be regarding
those islands. The commission will
not be subject to the confirmation OF
the senate, but will be named under
reserved authority of the president and
its expenses will be paid out of the wal
appropriations. 1t is not expected &c
commit the United States government
to recognition of the independence OF
the natives nor is it to frame a scheme
of government for the islands, as was
the case with the Hawaiian commits
sion. Undoubtedly, however, the con-
missioners will unofficially confer with
the natives and advise with the military
authorities, it being felt here that men
of their experience and qualifications
will be valuable counselors in the con
ditions now existing.
The members of the commission will
in all probability include Admira

A DESPERATE BATTLE.
Turks and Arabian Insurgents in
Fierce Conflict - Thousands
Killed and Wounded.

Constantinople, Jan. ia great bat
tie has been fought in th Yemen divi-
sion of Arabia.
The Turkish troops stormed and cap
tured the insurgent position at Shanel
on November 30.
About 1000 insurgents and 1000
Turks were killed or wounded.
London, Jan. 13.-Special dispatches
from Constantinople say that after the
battle a Shanel, a further Turkish adj
vance was ordered. Abdullah Pasha,
commanding the Turkish troops, was
directed to capture Sasbeh, the head
quarters of an important insurgent
leader, $50 miles northwest of Sana. All
the commanding positions in that vi
cinity are occupied by rebels and as the
Turkish troops are deserving the opera
tons are likely TO be prolonged and
difficult. The trouble in Yemen is one
of old standing and the rebellion
against Turkish rule has spread
throughout Hadschin and other dis
tricts.
