KINGSTON, Jamaica, June Tho
abstract question of the political posi-.
bility and the industrial and CONNER.
cial desirability of the annexation of
the British West Indies to the United
States is nothing new. AS matter of
casual discussion at least, it has been on
the cards since 1867, when General
Grant developed the scheme for acquir.
ing the Danish islands.
1t, however, remained for the Ameri-
can conquest of Cuba and Porto Rico to
awaken the English colonists to full
realization of the outlook The Ameri-
canization Of those two islands presents
most serious menace to the industrial
and commercial prosperity of their Brit
ish neighbors. and it is only natural
that the English colonists should be
attracted by Andrew Carnegie's sugges-
tion TO exchange the British West In
dies for the Philippines
AS far back as August of last year,
the question of securing annexation to
the United States was mooted in ia
maica. Nothing came of it, however
a plebescite was suggested in planting
circles and the commercial community
was not wanting in sympathy with the
proposal. But, on the other hand the
extreme antagonism of the colored pop
ulation was SO marked that the most
enthusiastic annexationists realized the
then impracticability of the plebescite.
Consequently the matter was speedily
shelvel.
The continued industrial decadence
| of the islands under the unfair treat
ment Of the mother country and the
ever-growing menace of Cuba and Porto
Rico has again brought the question
into prominence. In this case it is the
island of st. Kits that has taken the
initiative and made some definite move.
, While Jamaica, on the principle of halt
| loaf being better than no bread, in
sists on securing commercial reciprocity
with the United States, st. kits has
come forward with plebescite asking
for actual annexation.
AS might have been expected. the
West Indian newspapers as whole,
being mostly in the hands of colored
men, to whom the very word Amer
ican is obnoxious. have denounced the
plebescite and endeavored to obscure its
significance. Under the circumstances
St. kits has issued manifesto to the
sister colonies. setting forth their posi-
ton and furnishing seven reasons why
West Indies should seek admission into
the United States. This manifesto
signed by the most prominent men il
the island has attracted widespread at
tention, and promises to bring the
whole question to al acute stage.

Colonel Ray and Two Companies Of the
seventh Soon Start.
San Francisco, June 6.-Colonel S.
II. Ray has arrived here on his way to
take command of the Department of
Northern Alaska, which comprises all
the territory north Of the 62nd degree
Of latitude. He expects to leave about
June 20 with his command, which will
consist Of two companies of infantry,
probably from the Seventh regiment,
now on their way to the coast. It is
the intention of the government to es-
tablish three posts along the Yukon,
which will be permanently garrisoned.
Colonel Rays headquarters will be at
the junction of Mission Creek with the
Yukon, 90 miles from Dawson and
about 10 miles from the frontier.
When he was in Washington he had
the postoffice officially named Fort Egg
bert, in memory of the late Col. H. c.
Egbert who fell at Manila in the Philip
pines. The object Of the government is
to establish law and order in the coun-
try and to encourage its permanent oc-
cupation by settlers. Colonel Ray says
the lower Yukon valleys are capable of
of raising magnificent crops and he be.
heves that many articles of food now
imported by the miners can be produced
along the banks Of the great river.
