In Regular Wild West Style They op'
crate In Gotham.
New York, Dec 23.-Wearing car.
fridge belts and having their pockets
filled with dime novels, two boys have
been arrested in Harlem on charges
of feloniously attacking their grand
mother, strangling her into uncon.
soiousness and then robbing her OF
jswelry and money amounting to more
than $25
The boys were Charles W. Upton,
16 years old, and his cousin. Frederick
McDermott, who gave his home as
oyster Bay
According to the police, the lads
called upon their grandfather, Informed
him that he was wanted down town
on important business and after his
departure performed their desperate
deed. While the grandmother was
cooking lunch for them one is said
to have taken up position at the
outer door, while the other procured
all the valuables and money in sight.
The old lady detected him and gave
chase, when she was thrown down and
choked into unconsciousness.
Several pawn tickets were found on
the youths, together with a silgne(
resolution that they should never part
and neither should marry.

Ranort Not confirmad.

st. Petersburg, Dec 23.-The admir-
atty processes ignorance of the report
printed by the London Daily Teie-
graph today in a dispatch from Che
Foo that eight Russian torpedo boat
destroyers had escaped from Port Ar
thur during a severe snowstorm. If
knowledge of their contemplated es-
cape existed here, naturally 1t would
be carefully guarded for strategic rea-
sons until certain that they were clear.
There is no attempt, however, to dis
guise the fact that confirmation of
the report would be welcome intelli-
gence. 1t is quite possible that ar
rangements were made for the destroy
ers with the aid of a collier to fee
southwark and join the second Pacific
squadron, to which they would consti-
tute powerful reinforcement.

MAY FORFEIT HER ALLOWANCE.
Former Princess Overcome by Desire
to Sec Her Children.

to See Her Children.
Dresden, Dec. 23-Countess Mento-
gnes, former crown duchess Louise,
and divorced wife of King Frederick
Augustus, by coming to Dresden and
trying to see her children yesterday
has probably forfeited her allowance
Of $500, one OF the conditions of
which, that she should not set foot on
German soil.
This condition, however, may not be
enforced, as popular sympathy with tne
countess Is so strong already that the
court will avoid anything giving the
impression of pnuishing her for her
natural womanly feeling.
The version of the countess misad.
venture commonly believed In the
kingom of Saxony is that she is guilt.
less of actual wrong-doing and is the
victim of an intrigue of the Center,
party which Is described as using un-.
scrupulous means to prevent strong
liberal from becoming queen
The circumstances of the countess
leaving the court are so overlaid with
fiction that the truth probably will be
unknown to the present generation OF
Saxons.
