oil well has been discovered atthe bottom

path Of the ferry steamers at slack wa
ter
Tt was on last Tuesday that Captain
aroused the curiosity of shipping men,
The bay was smooth and the atmos-
phere clear and bright The Piedmont
was steaming along at full speed when
the captain spied an oily looking patch
of water directly ahead. The phenOm-
enon was SO uncommon that he called
the mates attention to it. and after OBJ
serving it as the steamer plOWed
through, concluded that a barrel of oil
had been dumped there by a passing
vessel

slack water. as he crossed the same
spot identically the same phenomenon
was observed, only in more pro-
nDunced form The water within a ra-
dius OF 50 yards or more was covered
with glistening Oil, and when the atten-
ton Of some persons on the lower deck
was called to it they were willing to
assert that they could detect a strong
Odor of coal oil.
After that Captain Jones and his mate
took particular pains to observe the
phenomenon at every slack water. The

servers even thought they could detect
a movement in the center Of the pool.

the present and future commercial rela-
lions Of his dominion with the United

sents the highest type Of English official

which seem antagonistic to our cher
iahed beliefs. But I fear I might tread
on some ene's toes by enunciating facts
which might offend people of different
political faiths. One thing I may say
that is that while Jamaica depends al.
most solely upon US for her very life.
while we offer her the only market for
her products of sugar, moiasses and trcp- 4
ical fruits, she still clings to England,
the SO called mother country, like death
to defunct Ethiopian. While we take
two-thirds her produce and England
only one-fourth, yet more than half her
imports come from England and but
one-fourth from the United States.

the substance Of frequent conversations. /

But here. as said, the question of rec
iprocity comes in. and one is in danger
of treading debatable ground.
One thing am moved to regret-that
is, that the ruler of Jamaica is not like
this island, American. Every interest OF
Jamaica, with it's half million iuhabit-
ants, centers in the United States. The
bulk of it's sales are to Us. It prOspers

It is only one-fourth the distance from
US that it is from England. It only lacks
closer sympathy with us as people to

that be does it I can humb bly, testify,

loved the flow thereat of wine, wit and

visitor to the island to sit at the gov

were owing to the semidiplomatic ma
ture of my mission here, but every one
who calls at Kings House and leaves
his card is sure of an official invitation
to the next ensuing reception or govern
ment ball. These invitations are taken
to your hotel by the governor s aid-de-
camp, and, though no written acknOwl-

though the dissatisfied West Indian is
not slow to accuse the home government

true when it comes to individual appli-

It is doubtless true that many Offices

SLAUGHTER OF DEER.
Hunters Invade the Minnesota In
dian Reservation IN Swarms.

St Paul. Nov. 3O-The slaughter of
deer in northern Minnesota this year is
something enormous, and bids fair to
exceed that Of any previous year in the
states history. The favorite hunting
grounds are upon the recently ceded
portions of the Red Lake reservation.
Nor are these hunters content TO hunt
upon coded lands alone. They take ad-
vantage OF the Indians lack of knowl-
edge concerning the new boundaries,
and boldly push across on to the dimin-
ished reserve in quest Of newer runa-
ways which have not been patrolled 50
regularly. Many of them kill for the
sport there is in bagging large game.
Carcasses are frequently hung up in
the woods and forgotten, or purpOsely
left behind. A fat buck weighing $50 or
800 pounds is a heavy load for a man
to stagger under to a wagon trial which,
perhaps, is some distance away, and
many of the parties have not the facili-
ties for transporting their game to civil
hzation. Once there it is drug upon
