A VISIT TO JAMAICA.

Taking advantage of Mr.. Plant new Jamal-
ca line from Tampa, l have just paid the Is
land a two weeks visit, chiefly for the purpose
of gaining new ideas of methods of culture and
propagation of tropical fruits. l think my ex-
p%erience is, on the whole, very fattering to
our state, though the object of my visit was
not realized.
I found a truly tropical island with deep,
fertile soil provided with tillable slopes, ele-
waited enough to admit Of the successful growth
of apples and peaches, where a paternai govern
ment at a heavy annual outlay has for many
years kept up extensive experimental gardens
and nurseries presided over by talent from
England, with trained and educated hortlcul-
turists for foremen and still they are far be-
hind us in the methods of propagation and
varieties. They still march the mango in the
slow unsatisfactory way introduced from India.
They plant only sweet Seeding oran- es and
never bud. The peaches and apples OF slavery
DAYS have been allowed to die of neglect and
forest fires. With an abundance of water-head
in mountain streams they allow fertile plains
to dry up and remain stertile for want of irri-
CATION. But the Boston fruit company, repre-
sented by their founder and president, Capt. S.
D. Baker, the banana king (as the natives call
him) are making things move on the north
side. and with a progressive governor and
rushing earnest chief Of the botanical depart
ment. bid fair to revolutionize Jamaica in a
few years.
Most Of the soil is q stiff red or brown clay
and but little of it seems suited to ~pineapples,
while but little of it seems unsuited to bananas.

Mr.. Blair's suggestion of having industrial

patrons, and arrangements have been made for
teaching the pupils some useful trade. AT

of the bigger pupils the opportunity of learning

TO PURCHASE ST. THOMAS ISLAND.
\ Proposition To Reopen Negotiations
Under Consideration
TNew York Times, September 25.7


Washington, Sept 24-The proposition to
reopen negotiations for the purchase of the is-
land of St. Thomas seems to have been under
consideration by the Administration for some
tine. though as far as can be learned Mr.. Blaine
has not yet had a hand in it.
Soon, Sfter the President returned from his
Western trip, when his head was full of the
ideas of territorial expansion, suggested by his
trip across the continent, he summoned Score
tary Tracy and Admiral Gherardi to the White
House, and the three went over charts Of the
harbors of Mole St. Nicolas, SANTANA Bay, and
st. Thomas. It is probable that it was then
agreed that St. Thomas was the most desirable
of the three, andshould DO secured if possible.
The Administration, however, evidently be-
lieves that the United States cannot get too
much of a foothold in that region, and will take
the mole st. Nicolas, too, if a chance is offered.

The Cattle Disease Commission had a
meeting this week, at which DR.. Hill, Mr..
Shields of LuSignan, Mr.. Love of Belalr, Mr..
Bynoe of Chateau Margot, Mr.. Smith OF
Vryhcid's Lust, and Mr.. Higgins of the Mar
ket, were examined. DR.. Hill said he was
now convinced the disease was acute laryn-
gifts and he did not believe it was cOnta-
giOus; he was of opinion that the disease
was on the decrease. Mr.. Lusignan thus
described the symptoms
You notice that the animal refuses TO
grace, and it experiences great difficulty IN
drinking water. 1t staggers, falls down and
seldom gets up again. The body is warm
and the ears are very hot. There is a swell
ing on the throat and a small quantity OF
matter from the nose. The swelling in
creases and the animal breathes very heavl-
~ and rapidly. A kind of wheeling sound
from three to four hours. If you don't take
the disease in time, in three hours you can
not affectit at all.
We were surprised to learn from Mr..
Shields evidence that the disease had brOk-
en- out on Lusignan as far back as February
and that between then and May, $50 cattle
had died on the estate, besides about a
dozen mules. 1t seems very strange that
such a murrain as these figures disclose was
not made theSubject of special investigation
much sooner. 1t is comforting to hear that
there is no disease on several OF the estates
within the prescribed district, and that the
general opinion on the coast is that it IS dis
appearing. Up till now, however, no light
has been thrown upOn the introduction OF
the disease INTO the district, and until this
is known, it is impossible to say whether pre-
c%autlOnary measures to deal with 1t a'e
practicable or not. The aim of the Commits
sloners should be to trace the disease to it's
cause; but we fear they will be unsucess-
nj.

Sewer Prices Unchanged.

PITTsBURG. Pa, July IA largely
attended meeting Of sewer pipe manu-
facturers of Pennsylvania, Ohio, West
Virginia and other states was held here
to-day to consider prices. Some OF the
manufacturers were Of the opinion that
prices were too low, and that there
should be an advance. They claimed
that il there was not an all
round advance there should be at
least an advance on certain sizes
and grades Of pipe. The matter was
discussed for several hours, but il was
finally decided that while prices were
low 1t would not be best 10 advance
them at this time. 1t is reported that
there has been a considerable falling
offin the sewer pipe trade, consequent
upon the small amount OF building on
erations. The falling of in trade here
is said TO have been one reason for al
lowing prices TO remain unchanged.

His Contempt Case Comes Up, But the
Court Fails to Decide the Case.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, July 14.-H. 81.
Yard was brought into the Common
Pleas Court this morning on an attach
mert for contempt in refusing to obey
the order of the Court directing Yard
to appear before the city council inveS-
tigating committee and answer Ques-
tions regarding his connection with
business transactions of the Keystone
National Bank, and with ex-City
Treasurer John Bardsley. Counsel for
Yard, Mayer Sulzerbacher, informed
the court that by his instructions Yard
had not appeared before the committee
as he (the attorney had filed writ OF
certiorari with the Supreme Court, APP
pealing from the courts order.
City Solicitor Warwick, on behalf OF
the investigating committee, claimed
that the mere act Of filing writ did
not relieve Yard of the writs OF the
court, and asked that Yard be COM
mitted for contempt.
Judge Allison after hearing the argu-
ments expressed desire to have decis-
ion in the case given by the full bench,
and continued the case till Saturday
next when it will be brought before
Judges Allison, Biddle and Breezy. Yard
was placed under S., 900 bail to appear
on that day. Yard is at present under
$4,000 bail on the charge Of conspiracy
with John Bardsley in the misuse OF
public funds, and he claims that to tes-
tify before the committee will ieopor-
die his case when called for trial.

President and Cardinal Gibbons Meet.

Saturday the President and Cardinal
Gibbons accidentally met on the board
walk here, and there was cordial
greeting between them. After brief
walk they came in front OF the Presi-
dents cottage which Mr.. Harrison in
vited the Cardinal to enter. In the
course OF pleasant conversation OF
about half an hour, it is stated that the
President introduced the subject Of the
Cahensley memorial. He gave his opin-
ion quite freely on the subject and said
that while having no disposition to in
terfere in church matters, he was glad
to have an opportunity for expressing
his satisfaction at the published re-
marks of the Cardinal and at the merted
rebuke administered at home and abroad
to foreign interference in our domestic
affairs. The Cardinal, it is said, was
deeply impressed and very much
pleased with the Presidents views on
the subject.
