FATE OF THE YACHT PAUL JONES

Launch Wrecked on q Reef.

Belief existent for several days that the
naphtha launch Paul Jones had been lost
in the Gulf of Mexico has become GER
tainty. 1t is more than probable, more
over, that all ON board have been lost.
Bird Island, thirty miles from the mouth
of the Mississippi, is strewn with wreck
age of the yacht and ample evidence that
she was destroyed by an explosion, pre-
sumably of gasoline, has been found. This
positive news plunged into mourning we'll
known families in Chicago, indianapolis,
ST. Louis and Louisville. The launch,
which was owned by Lawrence Jones, a
Louisville distiller, was loaned by him to
Mr.. Yocum of st. Louis and left Louis
vile for trip to Florida. She left New
Orleans for Pensacola. Since that time
nothing definite had been heard from her
until definite news of her loss was brought
by oyster fishermen, who have known Of
it for more than a week. The launch ex-
ploded, they say, near Bird Island, and
everything goes to show that all on board
were killed at once or drowned soon after.

The Sherwood House, on the east side
of Walnut, above Sixth street, Cincinnati,
took fire, probably from an oyerheateo
furnace, early the other morning and IN
very brief time the house was SO hlied
with smoke as to endanger the hyes OF
the sixty or more sleeping guests. Many
of the guests were members of theatrical
companies. Very soon the upper corridors
were flied with shrieking, hysterical wom-

difficulty in restraining the women from
jumping from the windows. The tremen
were active in carrying out the women
and most of them were rescued by the
stairway, but several were taken down
by the ladders and by the fire escapes.
T. H. Munich, travelling salesman from
New York, was among the last to be res
cued. He was found unconscious, with
wet towel over his face, but by the aid of
physicians was saved. The entire fire de-
partment was called out and the fire sub
dued before the building was destroyed.
The money loss will not exceed $4,000,

FARMERS GREATEST YEAR.
Figures Which Show that 1898 Beat
All Records

Figures Which Show that 1898 Beat
All Records
The farmers of this country made more
money in 1893 than ever before in its his
tory. The statistical reports from the
Department of Agriculture show unprece-
denied crops and unprecedented prices.
The corn crop in 1896 amounted to $685.
S75, 1876 bushels, valued at $40, 276,O 3O;
in 1897 it was 1902, 967 1888 bushels, val
ued at $5O1 ,O72,9 52. In 1898, according
to present estimates, the volume was not
only largely increased, but the farm value
of corn throughout the country averages
"a cents bushel more than in 1897.
The wheat crop in 1896, at u cents a
bushel, was valued at 1927, 1884, 346; in
1897, at SO.S per bushel, it was valued at
$42S, 547, 121. The increase in 1893 was
1,411 ,692 acres, the largest in history, and
the crop was unprecedented in quality,
quantity and price. The barley crop in
1897 was worth $50, 142, 139 at 81 cents
bushel. The figures for 1898 are not in
yet, but the price is Ala cents bushel
and the preliminary report shows crop
slightly above the average. The same
may be said Of rye, which is quoted at
1853 cents bushel, against AT in 1897.
The farm price for oats in 1898, accord
ing to the official figures of the Agricul
tural Department., is 25.6 cents bushel,
against 21.2 for 1897 and 1915 in 1896
The totals are not in yet, but in 1897 the
crop was valued at $147,974,719. Pota
toes are now worth Ala cents q bushel on
the farm, which is large falling off from
1897, when they sold for 54.7 cents, but
it is said that the difference will be more
than made up by the increase in the vol

Three Men Wounded in a Fight with

A riot occurred in a negro saloon at
Chattanooga, Tenn, between the bar
keeper and walters and several negro SOL
diers of the Eighth United States volun-

manga. A quarrel arose between one Of
the soldiers and q waiter over a matter of
change, when the soldier pulled a pistol
and fired at the waiter. The barkeeper
and several others in the saloon opened
fire on the soldiers, and as a result Ser

Company 1, was shot in the abdomen;
John Reed private, Company +, was shot
in the thigh and through the chest, and
Louis Brown, the barkeeper, was shot
twice through the lungs and will die. Ser

WARSHIP TO SAMOA.
CRUISER PHILADELPHIA ORDER.
ED TO THE ISLANDS.
Hurried Trip to Be Made to Protect
American Interests Action of Ger
many's Consul Resented at Washing
ton-Demands Explanation.

Advices from Apia, the seat of the Sa-
moan government, indicate that the Amer
lean and British representatives there
seized with force and elected the German
consul from the seat of the Samoan gov
eminent and threw him bodily into the
street and then renstated the chief justice
who had been arbitrarily deposed by the
Germans. Emperor Williams representa-
tive had taken advantage of the reign of
anarchy which existed there, and presum-
ably exists yet, to declare himself dictator
of the islands, in defiance Of the tripar-
tite agreement made at Berlin between
Germany, Great Britain and the United
States
The State Department at Washington
took immediate steps in the matter. An
inquiry as to the meaning of Germany S
conduct was cabled to Berlin. Secretary
Long telegraphed the commander of the
cruiser Philadelphia, which had arrived at
San Diego, Cal, from Acapulco, to pro-
coed at once to Apia. The Oregon, which
will soon land at one of the Pacific sta
tons, will probably be dispatched to Apia
as soon as a message can reach her COM
mander.
The situation at Apia is said to have as
sumed serious phase. 1t is feared that
the German and British gunboats station
ed at Apia may clash before word can be
sent to the island. Meantime the author
tiles, both at Berlin and at Washington,
view the affair as being one that will ulti-
mately lead to a quarrel and probably
war between the two powers. If the

SUCCESSOR TO GEN. EAGAN.

Been Selected.

Col. John F. Weston Reported to Have
Been Selected.
Whatever may be the outcome Of the
Eagan court martial, it may be confident
ly said that Eagans career as commissary
general of the army is ended, says a
Washington dispatch. His successor, Col.
John f. Weston, has already been Sc
lected. He is ultimately to take charge
of the commissary generals department.
He cannot be nominated to the Senate to
succeed Gen. Eagan as commissary gen.
eral until the latter has been dismissed
or relegated to the retired list.
Col. Weston is one Of the best known
officers of the subsistence department. He
was the chief commissary officer during
the Santiago campaign. He has been in
the subsistence department since 1875,
and previously served in the line of the
army. He entered the volunteer service
as first lieutenant of the Fourth Kentucky
cavalry in 1861 and served throughout
the rebellion. At it's close he was appoint
ed to the regular service.

Labor Saving Devices Are Not Wanted

Labor saving devices are not wanted in
China. This is clearly shown by Consul
General Goodnow, in report to the State
Department, made in reply to an inquiry
of an export association in New York.
II cannot give you any encouragement"
he says, sin regard to the shipment of
wheelbarrows, scrapers, dump carts and
the like to China. The wheelbarrow used
here has one large wheel in the middle and
a seat on either side, where passengers
are carried. Once in a great while dirt
is carried in baskets in such a barrow,
but ordinarily it is carried by a coolie in
two baskets hung on the end Of a bam-
boo rod balanced on his shoulders. Labor
saving devices are not in demand in China.
The cheapest thing here is a man. There
is more labor than can find employment.
A coolie carrying dirt will receive from Z
to 10 cents gold per day. He must work
from sunrise to sunset-not very steadily
or intensely, but putting in great many
hours and accomplishing large amount
of work for the amount of wages paid"

All Departments of Business Make
Encouraging Reports.
r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade says: ga new year rarely opens
brilliantly. Difficulties between holders
of material and manufacturers continue
to hinder in some industries and in some
may prove embarrassing, but the activity
is, on the whole, unsurpassed hitherto,
and the volume of traffic is beyond all eX-
pectations, in some branches consumption
is running beyond the producing capacity,
but in others it is hindered by doubts
about the future supplies and prices of
materials. The wooden manufacturer is
still waiting, with only moderate demand
for goods as yet. Sales of woods for the
last three weeks at the three centers of
the Eastern market have been Ii, 495, 500
pounds, against %, 322, $40 last year. The
cotton manufacturer has a large demand
for goods, but raw cotton has so rapidly
advanced that there is hesitation in the
purchases Of staples. The iron and steel
manufacture leads all others in the vol
ume of new business. While production
is much the largest ever known, many of
the works are withdrawing all quotations
or naming prohibitory prices i'll order to
check orders which they cannot fill for
months to come. Failures for the week
have been 249 in the United States,
against 374 last year, and 80 in Canada
against 53 last year"

At South Omaha, Neb., about 3 o'clock

oblow up with dynamite the residence
of E. B. Towle, manager of the Omaha
Packing Company. At that hour man
named William Barrier, on his way home,
saw Pickering light on the porch He
ran into the yard and hastily drew the
burning matter off the porch. Seeing a
fuse attached to the package, he stamped
the fire out and called for an officer. The
package was taken to the police station.
Upon opening the package it was found
to contain six sticks of dynamite. No eX-
PLANTATION can be made for the attempt
except the theory that the work was done
by persons recently discharged from the
service of the company.
