COMMERCE OF JAMAICA.
Grent Britain 20 Run a Line of
Steamers TO the Island.

The condition of the commerce OF Jamaica
ana the anxiety expressed by the people OF
that island for its improvement have re-
suited in the establishment Of a new direct
steamship line between England and that
island. Copies OF the British Trade Jour
nal, just received by the treasury bureau OF
statistics, state that the colonial Office has
signed contract with the jamaica Fruit
and Produce Association for direct fruit
and passenger service between that island
and the united kingdom. to commence May.
1900. The contract is for five years. and
the steamers Will run fortnightly. at an
average speed of fifteen knots between
kingston and Port Antonio and Southamp-
ton. The steamers will be fitted for the
conveyance cf fruit and will have storage
for at least 200 punches Of bananas The
contractors bind themselves to employ at
least six agents In Jamaica in developing
the fruit industry, 20 improve the wharf
accommodation at Kingston and other
ports. and to build one or more hotels in
the island. The subsidy payable is 10000
per annunl-of which one-half will be con-
tributed by the imperial governmeut-to he
increased to $4,000 II more passenger ac-
commodaton Is required.
The British Trade Journal Of October /,
commenting upon the condition Of COM
merce I'm the British West Indies. SAYS.
The new reciprocity treaties between Brit
ish colonies and the United States bode no
good TO British manufacturers. They may
SHOW no directly discriminating treatment
against the stepmother's goods. but they
may make arrangements which may rea-
sonably be held to be discriminating. For
instance, Barbados has on,Iuded con-
Nention with the United States providing
that certain articles imported from thai
country are 20 be imported free OF duty
or at greatly reduced rates. To make up
for the loss of revenue thus occasoned the
colony greatly increases the duties on the
classes Of merchandise imported chiefly
from the united kingdom. and this Will
unfortunately hit Manchester and Blrming-
ham traders very severely. The rcp'y OF
the colonlsts will be that as the United
states have counterVaiied bounty fed sugar
they have opened the door TO the sugar OF
Barbados. and therefore may naturally
expect the colony TO take American prod
ucts at low duties in return. As soon as
Manchester and Birmingham adopt a sim
liar policy they will have a similar claim
on the colony"
OF the imports into the British West In
dles In 1897 there went from the United
States 2I.94 per cent. and there came TO tho
United States 1914 per cent

SENATOR HANNA ON TRUSTS.
He Opposes Combinations InfmicaI TO
interests of the PconIc.

Senator Hanna, in an interview I'm Cleve-
land Saturday, emphatically denied the ac-
cusation that he is defending trusts In
stating his position he first called attention
TO the statement recently made by Prof
GUnton, who is one of the most prominent
economists of the country, that there is not
trust left In the United States; that there
never were more than half dozen, and
they all have been dissolved and converted
into large corporations.
Pref. Gunton's statement gives the whole
question in a nutshell" said Senator Han
ma. MY idea OF a trust is that il Is a COM
binatfon of capital organized for tie pur-
pose of controlling a commodity-a neces-
sity. That kind of organization would
be inimical to the interests Of the country
and the republican party can be depended
upon to protect the interests of the people
against such combinations or trusts. Cor
porations are not trusts, and without cor
porations IL would be impossible for this
country to compete with the world, and
more so now that the doors of the orient
are open to our trade. / am not defending
trusts, nor am | repudiating a single word
or phrase in the republican platform l will
continue to tell the people of the state ex-
actly the meaning of trusts and of combl-
nations or corporations"

well.
The Senator was caught in the tail of the
typhoon encountered by the steamer En-

manner for several hours, but suffered 40
severe damage. So serious did the situation
seem to the officers of the steamer at enc
time that all the passengers were orderd

There are already about do
zen applications for the position
of road master, and before the po-
lice jury is ready to appoint that
officer, many more applications
will be filed. One fellow from
Breaux Bridge was so much in a
hurry in writing his application
that he forgot to sign the paper.
The police jury will have to use a
great deal of judgment in selec-
ting the road master, who should
possess all the qualifications me-
cessary to fill the Office, and not
listen to petitions and recommen-
dations from politicians. This
Office should not be a political
plum to crafty the hunger of
some politicians for political ia
vors, and we hope the police jury
will act independently in this mat
ter, as upon the road master will
depend the success or failure OF
the Lew road system. We believe
the right man in that Office will
make it q success.

Ruth refinery closed down
Tuesday night, after saving the
cane of all the planters it had con-
tracted with. This refinery made
a longer run than any other
house in this section, and though
a new concern, ran throughout the
season without any mishap what
ever, which is a good record.
We learn with some satisfac-
ton, that the new road law adop-
ted by the police jury at it's last
session, is meeting with popular
favor, because, we presume. the
other system being a complete fai-
lure, the people are anxious for a
change, which may prove bene6-

yette has made rapid progress
since last we visited that town.

advertised for sale, an injunction
coming from the same court was
served upon the Sheriff restrain
ing him from selling the property.

kers, who we understand, will
make it their duty to interest and
smuse the people.
