TROOPS IN MUTINY.
Slack Soldiers OF a West India Regi-
ment at Kingston on a
Rampage.


Correspondence OF the Associated Press.)
Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. 9.-The black
soldiers of the first battalion West India
regiment broke barracks on Thursday
night last (Nov. ~, and proceeding to this
city, assaulted every citizen and police
man with whom they came in contact,
the police in particular suffering,
About $50 of the men gathered in the
parade gardens belonging to the govern
ment and played havoc with the trees.
They cleared the gardens of visitors,
chasing them with sticks. Others went
into the Sollas market and ransacked
stores.
The military authorities were tele-
phoned to and force of 200 men under
q white officer named Buck were sent to
the scene. The officer galloped away
from his men, and riding full speed down
to the parade gardens, a distance of two
miles, ran his horse right into the center
of the rioters. Before they could recover
from their surprise he ordered them to fall
into line, and snatching the caps from a
couple of the worst, shouted: You are
all right"
Some thirty were obedient to the word
Of command, and forming these up, the
gallant officer proceeded to make prison
erS of as many as he could, marching the
repentants to the market, the officer used
them as a picket and arrested several
others.
There Is no doubt that the action of
Maj. Buck prevented sanguinary riot
such as occurred in 1894, when the sol
diers broke barracks, and tying their ra-
zors on sticks, cut and slashed some thir-
ty policemen and citizens, among them
two inspectors. This sort of thing in
variably occurs when the three years
term Of the black regiment in Jamaica
is over and they relieve their brethren on
the west coast of Africa.

FINLAYSoN IN THE PoORHoUSE.
Father of Margaret Mather, the Actress
in Extreme POVERTY

Detroit, Mich. Nov. 20.-Mayor May
bury yesterday was surprised to receive
a visit at his office from John Finlayson,
father of Margaret Mather, the actress.
but what surprised him most was the fact
that Mr.. Finalyson came as a supplicant
for aims, or assistance. He said he was
utterly destitute and had to throw himself
upon the mercy of the public When it
was suggested that his daughter might
help him he said he did not wish any as
sistance from her. The mayor gave him
a letter TO the poor commissioner, who
will look after him during the winter at
least. Finlayson's poverty is caused by
business reyerses and ill-health.

Fine Vein of Galena Has Been Found
SVanZey.

Interest in silver-lead mining IN this
county has been renewed by the explora-
tons being made by Cad Smith of Mar
quette, who has opened fine VEN Of
galena, rich in silver, near Swanzey. The
width of the vein, which is clearly de-
fined, is in excess Of one foot and would

THE MAJOR WAS BUSY

SUBPOENA
The Judge Waiting for Ruling as
to the Rights of the Govern
ment's Petty Officials

CLEVELAND. o., April 20.-Major w.
3. Stockman of the United States wealth
er bureau, was sent to Jail by Judge Ong
this afternoon for contempt of court.
Stockman had been called as a witness
III damage case and was expected to
tell whether it rained on certain day.
He did not appear when called and Judge
Ong issued an attachment for him. The
major was on the way to the court
house when the deputy sheriff met him.
Judge Ong lectured the major severely.
Stockman upheld with dignity that he
was busy with work for the United
States government and added that he
held written orders from the department
at Washington to attend upon courts
only when he had completed those du-
ties. Judge Ong replied warmly that he
did not understand that government Of
ficials were above courts: that the courts
had to wait until they had leisure. He
therefore fined Stockman S. and costs
and ordered him committed until paid.
Stockman was exceedingly indignant
and announced that he would report the
case to the department at Washington.
Judge Ong told him to do so by all
means. The major left the court room
in a rage without paying his fine. Judge
Ong sent a deputy sheriff after him and
ordered him taken to Jail. Major Stock
man declared that a government official
cannot be compelled to attend a civil
court when busy and that Judge Ong
will find it out.
At2:45 o'clock this afternoon Judge Ong
held a consultation with District Attor-
ney Dodge and as a result of the in
terview the judge decided to remit
Stockman's fine. Stockman was accord
ingly released. After Stockman's release
Judge Ong directed that he communicate
with the department at Washington to
obtain a ruling as to whether govern
ment duties take precedence over courts
or not.
