first report. did not come to hand
ii well along in the agternoon, when
ispatch was received at the state
artnent dated ''Jamaica, 3:31 p.
Jan. 16,'' and signed ''American

destroyed and hundreds of lives
and that food was badly wanted.
signature to this dispatch was
eading, for the consul is absent on

he department that the vice and
ty coisul, William Orrett, at
gston, had sent the dispatch. A
rence in the cablegram to the
proof safe is understood to cQn
assurance of the safety of the
ular records and papers. It was
o regarded as possible that the nies
imight have come from Nicholas
Snyder, the Amcrican consul at
Antonio, on the island of Jama
owever, the dispatch was regard
s warranting the taking of instAnt
sures of relief. Indeed the navy
artment had been inadvance in
s matter, for through Capt. Beeh
the officer in charge of the naval
tion at Key West, wireless con
nication was early established be
eep fhe navy department and Ad
iral Evans, commanding the Atlan
c fleet at Guantanamo, Cuba. When
ecretary Root later indicated the
sirability of sending warships at
ce to the distressed island, it turned
t that Admiral Evans had antici
ted instruction and had started on
torpedo boat destroyer, the swiftest
-sel in the American fleet, for King
on, ordering two battleships to fol
w as soon as they could.
The appeal for food supplies direct
-d attentioni to the fact that under
rdinary conditions none of the gov
iment supplies could be ised for
utside relief save by special author
ty of eongress. That fact, however,
id not prevent Secretary Metealf
rom orderinl"g two Supply ships with
-ill cargoes of food at. once to Ja
aica, leaving for tomorrow the
nestion as to how the supplies aie to
e given to the needy inhabitants.
The war departient up to the close
f business had not acted uipon the
pplieation for food, hut it is asLI I
hat in anticipation of the :.'
the neces-ary legislation by congress,
-it will at least take measures to get
sujpplies to the island ready for the

*There are stoics of food at San

TRANOPORTATION EXHIBITS.
Jamestown Ter-centennial Exposition
WiQl Have a Greater Display of
Transportation Adjuncts than
Any Previous Exposition.
By W. H1. Bright.
Norfolk, Va., Jan. 17.-The word
'Transportation'' has in late years
gained such a wide significance that
under its caption volunins iniglit be
written. Until recently it referied
principally to railroad and steamboat
service, but now it reaches from the
upper depths of aerial navigation to
the bottom of the sea Where the slb
marine boats disport. with the deniz
ens of the deep; from the flying lo
comotive to the trolley car, the auto
mobile or the aut-eycle. Or from
the handsomest equipage in carriage
or tral) to the broadtread or ox cart
of the burdenlbearing type.
There was a time when the ques
tion of rapid transportation was only
discussed in the great centers of civi
lization or between those centers, but
now it is a question of deep interest
to everybody, and as the canal and
the National pike have given way to
the modern steamer, the railway and
the automobile, so even the more re
cent means and modes of transporta
tion will give place to the latest mo
tive power that really constitutes the
master-wheel to the mechanism of
novin- passengers and freight.
The incalculable value of an exhibit
at tile Jamestown Expasition is be
coming manifest every day as the call
for space continues to increase, and
more particularly is this true in the
motive power department of transpor
tation. When the manufacturer of
motive power devices or mechanism
begins to realize the vast territory
along tile Atlantic coast that by rea
son of the last few years of special
prosperity, is looking for better means
of transportation both on land, river
and sea, the more readily notes the
vast importance of properly display
ing that for which the people are
clamoring Pnd which they will iave.
The oar and the sail must give way
to a surer and more rapid mode of
propelling.
That the hundreds and tlousands of
people wlo visit the Exposition next
year will have an opportunity to
compare tile various Illodes of trans
portation ill the past with tile per
fected modes of time present is evi
denced by the fact that such vast
coneerns as the American Lomotive
Works, The Baldwin Locomotive
Work and tld Climax as well as other
locomotive works and vompanies mil
Ierest ed ill tlie motive power for var
ions modes <9transportation as well
as velicles and olier adjullets will
have complete exlil)its at the Exposi
tion showing tihe old timlne means of
transportation and of applied motive
power, side by side with the imost mod
,ern vehicles and modes of propelling
them. Not only will these ext remnes
se'para te b'1ly thiree huniIdred yea rs, he(
on exhibition hut every step) taken
from thlen till now will be shown and
fully demonstrated.
How to Deal With the Butcher. ;
It is qulite as true tihat wisdom is
money as that time is money, and nev
em so true as whlen dealing withl tile
butcher. To knowv to buny a piece of
beef that will cost only twvent.y cents
but when cooked aright will be as
delieionis and as nourishing as onme
wvhich c'ost forty cents means money
to the huousewife. Many housewives,
howeer, (do not een kno1w one( cult
of beef fromn aniotherl except as the
b)utchecr labels it. Along these lines
a series of artiels in the Newv Idlea
Woman's Magazine is giv'ing infor

Wasiilg-ton, dJan. 14.-Tt wias a

ot ihe least of it was the resurrec

lie senator from South Carolina got
ninediately and intensely mad, for a
ew minutes. Senator Bacon hand read
in editorial recently published in the
ffacon Telegraph, in whicli ana edi
orial in the Charleston News and
'irier recounted the incident of the
lismissal of the Newberry company
n 1894. Senator Bacon called atten
ion to the fact tfhat Senator Tillman
hen quoted exactly the same section
ii the articles of war that President
loosevelt referred to in his Browns
,ille order messa-e in support of his
ketion in tle Brownsville incident. It
vas when Senator Clay got up, though
he fun was at it liei.-hit. [In less than
kminute Mr. Patterson, who stirred
1p a whirlwind of prolest anld recrii
lation among the senators Saturday,
vas on his feet solemnly giving no
ice that he should not attemlipt to re

vould come back and repulse him at
ength later. The unterrified Clay
woceeded then to state as his causes

ibhor mob violence. They abhor li
Tense law. There is not a man iii the
ate who would countenance such
iets.'' Up rose Foraker. ''Didn't a
>rominent Atlanta paper run a stand
ng offer of a reward for a lynching
ast summer?'' lie asked. ''If it did I
[ am sur not a dzen men in' Geor

urned his batteries toward South
arolina and instantly had Tillinan
-oinlg. ''Eery maii, womaln and child
1i this great republic ought to ap
WrVe and applaud the president for
lisCharging these brutes,'' was his
pening shot at the pitchfork artist.
''If lie had discharged tlhem the
7irst time or the second -or the third
w the fourt.i'' retorted Tillman,
'here would never have been an af
rayi at Brownsville.''
''If the presideit Vas wron.g thle

TS0nded Clay. 'we olu'lt ievertlie

I 'Im nol one of th Iose who( jist ify a

''I nlever (did alny man an inutenltion

Washimngton, ,Jan. 1 4.-Taking but a

Statitng that lie did not agree with
the president in ill lie has done in
this case, Mr. Mallory of Florida di- F
gressel 14) call attention to what lie
regarded as the best illustration that t
could be given of the incompetency of
lie legro to grapple with great ques- I
tions. Ilis illustration was the crit
icismn .of the presidetit. by the negro I
mass meetinlg at, Boston.
A negro. lie said, held the most Il- '1
Crative federal oflice inl Florida as
collector of interna1"l revenue; the coI-!a
lector of, eistoms at Savannah, (.h
was a negro0, anld tle eollector of in- n

gila was a negro and every one knew t
tle fight wihich ti senlate had made (
against Ih-. Crum, a negro made (o1
lector of tile port at Charleston, S. C. t
'But,'' added Mr. Mallory, ''the I
patriots of Boston, who probably are a
the best iepresentatives of the colored 'I
race in this country, ihe most enlight.
ened to'be carried away by thi-pas- i
sion of the moment, unable to look t
farily and squarely at a proposition I
which should be judge(d justly and
honestly, forget that. they are under
great obligations to the president an(l
send forth a deilnciation of the best .3
friend they have ever had in that
ollice. They will allow passion to get t
the better of their judgment otn almost t
all oveasions.
Mr. Mallory believed the president t
otuglt not to have included in his ord
er of dischairwe the prohihitiion against
futmn-e enlistment. He said he should c
not oppose tile resolition of itnvesiga- c
tion.
Mr. Clay of Oeorgia said lie took
the fl.)oor to reply in brief to t lie
sweviin.g ellarge agallist the prolnin
(btit people of the south made on Sat
11114da1y by Sentatoi Pattiersotl. A ill
