this young man who has labored and

times to win this appointment as
cadet to West Point help it if his
father is radical populist? Are we
to carry politics into our schools of
military training? Do want a man
in our army just because he is a good
republican or populist or democrat?
Is that what we want? No, we want

Hon. Bill Reeder of the big sixth to
hire some good man to go along when
he gets away from home to look after
him and his mouth. He says that the
next time he will appoint a republl-

do it before Nov. 1900, for after that
his mouth will cease to slop over as

EARTHQUAKES IN GREECE.
Some Villages Completely Destroyed
and Others Greatly Damaged.

Athens, Jan. PA strong seismic
disturbance was felt this morning
about 9:3O o'clock throughout the Pelo-
pOnnesus (the southern part of the
kingdom of Greece and especially in
the southwestern departments of the
peninsula. All the houses in the town
Of Philiatra, in the department of Mes
seglia, on the IOnian coast, have been
damaged and the inhabitants are now
camping out in the suburbs. The viii
lageS in the vicinity of Philatra were
completely destroyed and many people
slightly injured. The villages of Ky
parissia and Staso were also practically
destroyed, though it is not known as
yet whether there were any victims
there.
Much damage to property was done
at Navarino, a. seaport six miles north
of Modon, whose harbOr witnessed the
victory of the English. French and
Russian fleets over those of the Turks
and Egyptians in 1927, and considerable
loss is reported from Calamata, capital
of the department Of Messenia, near the
head of the gulf of KOrOn.
The shock was severly felt in the dis
trict of Zante, capital of the Ie0ian
island of that name. but there was no
loss of life or property there. Many
slighter shocks have occurred during
the day and night and the people at nu-
merOuS towns and villages are afraid
to return to their homes. The authOri-
ties are doing all in their power to fur
nish tents and supplies.

the only course now is to retire to the
mountains" This, of course, is an eX-
aggeration, although the fact is that
there are people who make just such
threats.
AS showing how far the province
has drifted backward since the first
announcement that the customs were
not to be freely expended for provincial
improvements, the Santiago Heraldo
reports that a band of men are COM
mitting wholesale depredations in the
Mayari district, where several people
have been murdered. and that another
band in the Guantanamo district have
burned all the cane prepared for press
ing on the Isabel plantation. These
outbreaks" says the Heraldo, ARE the
first fruits of the money Capitalization
system"
AS yet the Mayari report has not
been verified. and Mr.. Brooke, owner
of the Isabel plantation, who arrived
yesterday, says that the burning re-
ported on the plantation must have
been done since he left, as the cane
there was intact when he started for
Santiago. He does not accept the re-
port absolutely, but says that the ad-
joining plantation, the property of Sc
nor Bueno, was fired at four different
points. the entire crop being destroyed.

torial with a defiant declaration: IF
necessary, the Cubans will know how
to act"

WEST VIRGINIA RETALIATION
Neither Party Is Yet Certain of a
Majority.

Charleston, w. Va, Jan. Pas the
West Virginia legislature has majority
of only one on joint ballot for senator.
and that one is in dispute, the present
struggle is called by some state edition
of the Hayes-Tilden contest. The fac
tional fighting was ended when John T.
McGraw last Wednesday night received
the Democratic caucus nomination. and
on the following night \. B. Scott was
made the Republican nominee. Since then
both parties have been working for par
tisan advantages in the settlement of con-
tested seats. The Republicans are fight
ing to hold their own. and have major
itv of one since two of the Republicans
have been unseated in the house. AS the
Democratic majority In the house threat
ems to unseat others, the Republican ma
jority in the senate has pending three res
olutions for contests in the upper branch.
The balloting for senator begins tomor-
row noon, but before that order is
reached it is expected that there will be
lively scenes in both branches of the leg
islature in the cross-firing in the line of
retaliation. The balloting may be con-
tinued from day to day until both sides
get enough of the retaliation programme.
