DISASTER AT SEA.
Probably sixty Lives Were Lost by
the Wrecking of Il Steamer on
tie Newfoundland Coast.

st. Johns, n. F., Jan. 13.-The fol-
lowing comprises all the details re-
garding the wrecking in St. Mary's
bay that can be obtained.
The ship is a two masted steamer
of nearly 5000 tons and probably car
ried crew of 90, with possibly some
passengers. She went ashore before
daybreak on Thursday, striking a
ledge at the foot of the cliff, where es-
cape was hopeless. The crew launch
ed the boats but probably during the
panic some were crushed against her
sides, others being swamped, and all
the occupants apparently perishing.
The ship was seen to be on fire by
residents six miles away. Attracted
to the scene they found the after half
of the wreck blazing fiercely and the
forepart under water. The vessel soon
went down. There is not the slight
est prospect that any soul on board
escaped death, as the intense mid
winter cold would kill any who es-
capped drowning.
\ trunk filed with wOman's cloth
ing has been washed ashore there as
well as a garment which is either a
waterproof cape, such as used by a
woman, or a mans Overcoat. Nearby
" a mans. marked with the initials
y. j." This seems to indicate that
the ship had passengers.

MINERS CONVENTION.
tend the Opening Session of the
indianapolis Meeting.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 15.-Neariy
500 delegates to the national conven-
ton of the United Mine Workers of
America were present at the opening
session and another 100 are expected.
The larger delegations here are: Ohio,
30; Pennsylvania, Is; Illinois, 100; Ken
lucky, IS; Iowa, 10; West Virginia,
20; Indiana, 60.
The convention represents 100, 1000
workmen in % states.
All of the delegates came instructed
to demand an advance in the scale,
but there is some difference as to how
much will be demanded. Most of the
delegations are very reticent on this
score. The Indiana delegation decid-
ed upon an increase Of Is cents per
ton.
In the matter of machine mining If
was concluded to stand for fiat diff
ferential rate of Z cents between pick
and machine mined coal. This is the
Illinois rate and, while the delegates
are of the opinion that the operators
have a slight advantage even at this
rate they will be satisfied if the con-
vention fixes it at this figure. The
pick mines Will suffer under this rate
in slow runs, it is said, and a great
many men will viii be idle, however,
the figure named is looked on as be-
ing as near an equitable basis as can
be reached.
Screens came in for a great amount
of discussion, and it was finally deter
mined TO demand one and a quarter
inch Akron bar screens, 6X12, and
while this did not meet the approval
of all the delegates an agreement was
reached to accept these.

MORA IS REMOVED.
Gen. Wood Has Changed the Fiscal
OF the Cuban Supreme Court
Recently Established.

Havana, Jan. 13.-"FedericO Mora,
fiscal of the supreme court, is hereby
removed from office for the good of
the public service.
This removal is the result of an
investigation into the conditions ex-
listing in the administration of JUS
tice under his supervision"
The foregoing official order was
handed to Senior Mora by Gov. Gen.
Wood. Senior Morals fall has been
predicted ever since the first case was
brought against the custom house Off
cials, and the disgraceful condition
of the prisons, especially as affecting
those awaiting trial, has been gener-
ally charged against him. For some
time it has been said that Mora has
been devoting too much attention tC
social affairs and too little 10 his du-
ties.
Gen. Woods investigation has shown
that the Office OF the supreme court
fiscal is largely responsible for num-
Der of the untried cases and that not
only Mora. but others in the depart
ment of justice, have been persist
emily trying to block the charges
against customs officials whom Col
lector Bliss is anxious TO prove guilty
of wholesale bribery and corruption.
Every possible influence has been
exerted TO protect the incriminated
men from receiving the punishment
which is their due; but the public
has scarcely been willing TO believe
that high officials Of the rank of Mora
have been implicated. Morals letter
to the Supreme court regarding the
custom house fraud cases under trial,
which has already been cabled, was
only the last straw. His dismissal
had been decided upon some days be-

Washington, Jan. 14.-Offcial re-
ports received by RI. Adm. Bradford,
chief of the bureau of equipment,
from Lieut.. Commander H. NJ. Hodges.
commander of the Nero, announce
the feasibility of a cable route across
the Pacific, connecting San Francisco,
Honolulu, Midway islands, Guam, Luz
zOn and Yokohama.
The Nero surveyed between Guam
and LuZon, and then ran back to
Guam, pursuing a zig gag course, in
order TO sound along the route Sc
lected, with a view to obtaining the
best possible location of the cable.
Then she ran a straight course to Yo-
kOhama. She returned, zig tagging.
TO Guam, and will zig gag across the
line 10 the Midway islands and tc
Honolulu, when her work will be
completed.
The Nero has found a depth of less
than 5000 fathoms between Yoke
hama and Guam and Luzon and
Guam. Three thousand fathoms is
the extreme depth the authorities
were willing to lay the cable.
The cable between Honolulu and
Dongala bay, which - the Luzon
terminus of the cable line, viii be f.
SD knots long. Only two offsets
from the projected great circle route
between the Midway islands and
Guam were found necessary to avoid
obstacles TO successful laying and
operation of the cable. The first
was q submarine mountain a short
distance west of the Midway islands,
and the second an abyss more than
forty-nine hundred fathoms deep,
found about five hundred miles east
Of Guam.

WORK OF CONGRESS.
Forecast of the Weeks Proceedings in
Both the Senate and House.
The Philippine Question and the
Samoan Treaty Likely to BE Dis
posed OF in the Senate-ROu-
tine Work I'm the House.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The senate
probably will resume consideration of
the Pettigrew resolution making re-
quest for certain information concern
ing the beginning of the war in the
Philippines. This Will be succeeded
by a speech on the financial bill by
Senator Rawlins, of Utah, if the pres
ent programme is followed. Senator
Pettigrew Will continue his speech on
the Philippine resolution. After he
concludes Senator Berry, of Arkansas,
will take the floor for a general speech
on the Philippine problem if sufficient
time remains.
When the Pettigrew resolution is
disposed of the Hoar resolution will
supply food for talk each day in the
morning hour, and after the Hale res
olution concerning the seizure OF
American goods by Great Britain will
be taken up.
1t is Senator Aldrich's announced
purpose to press consideration of the
financial bill each, day after the con-
clusion of the morning hour, but it is
not probable that he will succeed in
securing q daily speech on the sub
ject. Senator Teller probably will
SPEAK some time during this week,
after Senator Rawlins concludes. 1t is
also understood Senator Daniel will
be heard soon on the question of the
finances. Other addresses on this sub
ject will come later
The consideration of the Samoan
treaty in executive session will be re-
sumed if the legislative work permits,
and Senators Bacon and Money will
make speeches in opposition to it. 1t
is also possible that the report in the
Quay case may be presented late in
the week.
The house will plunge into the rou-
tine work of the session this week.
Most of the time, excepting Friday,
which has been set apart for paying
tribute to the memory of the late
Vice President Hobart, will be devot-
ed to the consideration of appropria-
| ton bills. 1t is expected that both
the urgent deficiency and the pension

does many millions for the army and
navy, will raise the whole question as
to the insurrection in the Philip
pines, with its allied issues, and lead
to very protracted debate. How far
the republican leaders will allow the
debate to run has not yet been deter
mined, but if the democrats insist and
are persistent, they can hardly refuse
them several days, in view of the
large amount of appropriations in
yolved.
The pension appropriation bill is
also likely to cause some spirited de-
bate owing to the disposition in GER
tain quarters to criticise the conduct
of the pension Office. Attempts doubt
less viii be made to legislate upon
the bill and secure reversals of some
of the pension commissioners rul-
ings, but as all such legislation is
subject to a point of order, it viii
fail.
There is no present prospect that
the Roberts case will get into the
house before next week.

Harpoot, the state department has re-

no such massacre was threatened.
Conditions at Harpoot are reasOna-

MASKED AND ARMED.
A Lone Hiphwayman Cleaned Out
Two Restaurants in Kansas City
in True Western Style.

Kansas City, Jan. 15.-In true west
ern fashion, a lone robber, masked
and armed, cleaned out two restaur-
ants in the center of the city at c
o'clock Sunday morning, under the
glare of an electric light. In Lewis
restaurant. at 1910 Walnut street, he
pointed pistol at Stanley Brushwood'
the cashier. and tapped the register,
while he kept his revolver in plain
view of two customers, eating nearby.
The contents of the register had been
transferred to the safe but q few
minutes previous, and the robber Sc
cured only a handful of change.
He then gave the waiter and the
two customers a parting word of
warning and skipped across the street
TO the restaurant of Robert McClin-
took. Here the robber covered Cash
Ter Joseph Drysdale, and commanded
two walters and three customers to
hold up their hands. They complied
promptly and the rObber emptied the
register in a twinkling. He pocketed
the entire contents, STAG, and backing
out of the door. encountered a grocery
solicitor. He poked his revolver into
the solicitors face with the command
not TO make an alarm and forced him
into the restaurant, where all the 9TH
ers still stood with arms upstretched.
At this instant the robber darted
down a nearby alley and disappeared.
Hardly more than five minutes were
consumed at both jobs and the
rObber had plenty of time to get away
