GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.
Destructive Cyclone Passes Over the
Windward and Leeward Islands.

Kingston. Jamaica. Dec 4.-Advices
received here show that a destructive
cyclone has passed over the Windward
and Leeward islands. The wind blew
with tremendous violence and was ac-
companied by very heavy rainfall.
The many mountain streams in the
various islands were soon transformed
into torrents that swept down into
and over the valleys, carrying every
thing before them. The loss of life is
known to have been great, but as yet
it is impossible to say how many per-
sons persisted, and it viii probably be
several days before even the approx
mate number will be known, as reports
from the smaller and more remote
islands will be difficult to obtain
From the advices now at hand, it ap-
pears that the island of st. Vincent,
one of the Windward group. and the
island of Montserrat, one Of the
Windward group, suffered very
severely. a number of sugar, cof-
fee and cotton estates We're inun-
dated, and in some cases the entire
crops were torn out by the roots and
carried into the sea. Many of the per-
sons drowned were negroes who lived
in the vicinity of the water courses
and who had little, if any, warning of
the approaching floods.

Chief Pratt's remaining days as the
head Of Salt Lakes police department
can now be counted upon the fingers of
ones hand.
The fire and police commission has
reached an agreement, that is, three
members thereof-and barring any IN
foreseen obstacle Mr.. Pratt will be de-
posed next Monday night.
And Captain Samuel Paul is to be
chief of police again.
These important announcements We're
made yesterday afternoon by Mayor
Glendinning and Police Commissioner
Noble
Since the appointment of Messrs.
Dininny and Grant to fill the vacan-
cies in the board the members have
vainly sought to agree upon a suit
able man for chief. Not for one mo-
ment does it appear that the members,
with the possible exception of Cohn,
desired to retain Pratt. There were
two active candidates in the field-W.
]. Lynch and ]. K. Gillespie. These
two were considered. but both had
ardent friends in the commission and
a choice failed.
PAUL FINALLY ACCEPTS.
During the past week Captain Paul
was urged by his friends to accept the
place, but he would not consent to ac-
cept it without permission from the
stockholders of the Salt Lake Livery
& Transfer company, Of which he is
manager. When these gentlemen found
that nothing but their consent stood
between their manager and the office
of achief of police they readily acqui-
esced. Captain Paul has always been
the most acceptable candidate TO the
commission. and when the members
yesterday learned that he would ac-
cept the position they at once volun-
teered their unanimous support.
HIS SPLENDID RECORD.
Thus the police muddle is to find
happy solution. Captain Paul was CHIEF
of police for two years UP to the ap-
pointment of Mr. Frat. His fitness for
the place is conceded by the people Of
the city in general. and as chief he
will be agreeable TO tie members of the
force. Captain Paul has a splendid
record.
CHIEF PRATT KNOWS IT.
Chief Pratt, though presumably
aware of the situation. has not, so far
as is known. rendered his resignation.
It was learned yesterday that Com
missioner Dininny approached him dur
ing the week and made him acquainted
with the boards intention to remove
him. He declined to resign then, and
unless he does so between now and
next Monday. will be removed. The
change will take place Immediately.
ard hence the prospects are that next
Tuesday it viii again be Chief Paul.
THE CAPTAINCY.
As to the captaincy. J. y. Eslinger
seems to have the inside track. The
contention has been set out that Es-
linger is not a member of the force
since his dismissal by Chief Pratt in
accordance with the remittitur of the
supreme court. But, on the other hand,
it is contended that so far the board
has refused to recognize the chiefs
orders in the matter and this is an
important circumstance. As far as can
be ascertained from the most reliable
sources Eslinger viii be captain.

TOOK CARBoLIc ACID.
A Stenographer Who Had Been

Fails on the Thirty-First.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Consul Mat
thews writes the department of state
from Peru that the Brazilian govern
ment is having a hard time in trying
to operate cable to Manos. The
cable, costing about 81 ,O00, 900, was
guaranteed by the company for 80
days. On the 31st day it failed and no
message has been sent over it since
