West dian Hurricane vietima

Kingston, Jamaica, Sept. H.-At O
public. meeting yesterday, called for
the purpose of discussing the possibil.-
ties of raising funds for the relief OF
the sufferers from the recent hurricane
which swept over the West Indian is
lands, the archbishop of the West In
dies declared that the condition of ia
maica was such that 1t was not possi-
BILE to do more than emphasize an ex-
preston of sympathy with those who
were in need Of help.
Any substantial relief. he added, COM
pretending the establishment of the
original conditions in the devastated
Islands, must. in his opinion, necessa-
rily take the form Of imperial assist
ance on a large scale.
Public opinion here endorses the
statements of the archbishop, and es-
pecially holds Great Britain RESPONSE
BILE for the industrial crisis which rem
ders the other West Indian colonies
Impotent to give the suffering islands
substantial aid.

TROOPS FOR MANILA.
Several Regiments Ordered to Sail From

Several Regiments Ordered to Sail From
San Francisco.
Washington, Sept. 20.-The army au-
thorities are greatly exercised over the
situation in the Philippines. 1t has
been decided to strengthen the force
uader General Otis, upon whose rep
rrsentations the step is taken and five
regiments now at San Francisco have
been ordered to Manila, and will sail
as soon as the transportation has been
secured.
General Otis has cabled the depart
ment from Manila that Aguinaldo is
addin gto his power, and that he has
at his command, or within call, force
Of not less than 10000 men.
This statement has created a sensa-
tion among the officers here, who have
seen the private advices from Manila,
and It presents to them the immediate
necessity of discouraging the insurg-
ents by some means more definite and
energetic than negotiations and making
threats.
The situation as described by GEN
eral Otis is most serious, and while in
its general features it is not unexpect-
ed, it is more menacing in extent than
most of our authorities in Washington
anticipated.

No More Bounties.

The Luzerne County Commission
ers have decided not to pay any fur
ther bountles upon wild animals, such
as are named in the Act of July, 1897,
entitled an Act for the destruction of
wild cats, foxes and minks, of this
commonwealth, and provide for pay
ment of bounties for the same, offic.
ers' fees and fixing penalty for vio-
lation of the same, which has been de-
clared unconstitutional in an opinion
found in the district reports, volume
7, page ISo. The court in this case
holds that the Act of July 9, 1897,
entitled an Act for the destruction of
wild cats, ETC., is unconstitutional in
that its subject is not clearly expressed
in the title. There is no clear ex.
preston of tine purpose of the Act,
which is to require the several coun-
ties to pay the bountles provided by
the Act.-E.r.
