TO BE MET WITH SUSPICION
Coming of Delegates From Jamaica to
Negotiate Reciprocity.
Rates Suddenly Raised Apparently
With the View of Lowering
Them as a Concession.

The State Department has been Informed
that the two delegates from the Island OF
Jamaica who are coming to Washington to
attempt the negotiation of some kind of
reciprocity arrangement under the terms OF
the Dingley tariff act will he met here by
a representative of the British government
to aid In the work. The home government Is
thus consistent in asserting It's right to at
least nominally direct the foreign relations
of the British colonies.
1t is believed here that this particular at
tempt to secure a reciprocity arrangement
marks the final and complete failure of Mr.
Chamberlain's cherished plan to divert the
trade of Jamaica from the United States
entirely to England. thereby strengthening
the bonds between the home country and
the colony and putting stopper upon the
newborn annexation tendency.
The application of the new American
tariff made it impossible for Jamaica to
continue her large trade with the United
States except upon the basis of a reciproc
ity arrangement For the past year spas
modic efforts have been made to negotiate
such an arrangement. but without success
80 recognizing an opportune moment to ex-
pertinent with his own plan, Mr.. Chamber
lain endeaVored to interest some of the
great English corporations in a project to
ship all of the Jamaican fruit product di
rectly to England. The last advices re-
celVed here are that this effort has failed.
and having nothing else to offer. the Brit
ish government has now consented TO allow
the colonists to try to work out their own
salvation.
The latest phase of the case as made
known to the officials here. however, does
not incline them to the belief that the way
to an arrangement desired by thu Jamai
cans will he easy. Against the protests of
the majority of the Jamaican members of
the local assembly the government forced
81 - L. 4, Id,
upon line of imports that have come TO BE-
regarded purely American. The officials
here have come regretfully to the conclu-
sion that the purpose was to permit the
jamaica negotiators of a reciprocity
rangenent to offer a large but fictitious re-
duction in duties in consideration of the re
duction in American duties that might be
made under the terms of the Dingley act.
So 1t will be necessary for the jamaican
commissioners to first remove this suspicion
from the minds of our officials before they
can reasonably expect to accomplish much
toward an agreement.

THEY ASK FOR INFORMATION
Commissioners Address an Inquiry Respect
ing Proposed Railway Loop.
Objections of Citizens to Use Of Ger
tain Streets-Main Question
Not Yet Decided.

Before disposing of the application of the
Capital Traction Company for permission
to c. instruct its proposed loop at the Mt.
Pleasant terminus of its 18th street line,
the District Commissioners desire to learn
from the company if some better and more
satisfactory means of avoiding the parking
of cars in 14th street cannot be devised.
The company, as has been heretofore
stated in The Star. desires to construct the
loop by running its tracks eastwardly on
Kenyon street to a tract in the square
bounded by 18th and 18th streets and Ken
yon street and Whitney avenue, thence
through the tract to Whitney avenue, and
thence westwardly to 14th street, to the
main tracks.
The railroad company claims the right TO
make the loop under the provisions of the
act of Congress incorporat ting the Wash
ington and Georgetown Railroad Company,
and the attorney for the District has ad-
vised the Commissioners that they are au-
thorized by the said act to grant the COM
panys application. Residents and property
owners in the section, however, have earn
estly objected to the granting OF the PEI
nit, and the Commissioners are DESTROYS of
avoiding, If possible, the use of the streets
proposed to be occupied by the company IN
the proposed loop. Therefore they have
addressed the above inquiry to the COM
pany.
In making this inquiry 1t is stated, the
mmiSsioners do not wish to be under
stood as intimating that the company's APP
plicdtion Will be denied. Indeed, it is I'M
derstood that the Commissioners are not by
any means satisfied that they can deny it,
provided it be shown that the public inter-
ests, not the interests of those residing or
owning property in the immediate vicinity
of the proposed loop, but those of the gen
eral public, d mand the construction of the
loop. However, that question has not yet
been decided by them, and will not be, it is
said until after the Commissioners have
had a reply from the company to their in
curry.
In their letter the Commissioners, after
referring to the objections to the proposed
loop on the part of the citizens generally
in the section, stated that they are of the
opinion that a plan which would be more
conducive to the general interests of the
public than the one proposed by the com
pany can be devised. The company. it is
believed, will reply that the plan suggeste
by it is the best it can devise under all the
circumstances and Will then, in all proba-
bility, insist that it shall be granted the de-
sired permit.

Celery in New Mexico.

correspondence or the Chicago Record.
f. ]. HOLSTER. the agricultural expert
who is working down here among the ir-
rigated settlements fnstructing the farmers
how to water to the best advantage,
told me the other day that with proper
cultivation he was confident 500 worth of
celery could be raised on a single acre of
this arid land. He says the alkaH In the
soil is exactly what is needed to produce
the crispness that is the first essential of
this popular plant. The Colorado celery he
considers the best in the world and he pre-
diets that IL will soon be raised in sufficient
quantities to monopolize the eastern mar
ketS.
Fifty thousand celery roots can be plant
ed on ten acres of irrigated land and will
require the constant attention of two men
with the modern tools that have been in
vented to cultivate, harvest, trim, wash and
bind the plant into punches. He says there
Is d machine drawn by horses, with knives
that run through the soil and cut off the
plant at the root as neatly and as exactly
as can be done by hand. There are other
machines that do the rest of the work es-
pecially the back-breaking part, and reduce
the labor of cultivation to minimum. An
entire outfit costs about 81 900, but with 1t
and ten acres of strong alkali land a man
can make profit of from 81 600 to s. 500
with less than five months labor
1t is another interesting fact that these
arid lands, which were formerly considered
worthless, have produced the highest de-
gree of saccharine matter in the sugar
beet.

Cable to Iceland and Greenland.

The following, dated Copenhagen, April
n, 1899, has been received from Vice and
Deputy Consul Blom by the State Depart
ment:
The meteorologists in Europe have for
many years desired Geographic connec-
ton with Iceland. Farce Islands and Green
land. Daily Geographic reports from Ice
land would be of the utmost importance to
the weather service as well as to the large
fishing interests in the north Atlantic [
understand that the British fishing inter
ests have recently petitioned the govern
ment TO grant a yearly subvention to the
proposed cable. The Danish government
looks favorably upon the plan. but is of
the opinion that It should be realized by
private individuals. The Great Northern
Telegraph Company, Limited, of Copenha-
gen is willing to lay and work the cable
provided 1t is guaranteed a certain sum
from the various governments and other
parties interested. The royal Danish me-
neurological office, in Copenhagen, has is
sued circulars to kindred institutions
throughout the world, requesting them to
subscribe to daily weather bulletins from
Iceland and Farce Islands; the matter is
also being seriously considered by other
bodies, especially in Great Britain and the
prospects for a realization of the enterprise
are promising"

THE UNLUCKY S0MERs.
A StaRch Craft, but Her Crew Wa.
Afraid of Her.

Lieut. Ia Motto in St Nicholas
After all preparations had been made
hastened to Hamburg, hoping TO catch the
Somers somewhere in the North Sea canal,
but on my arrival at Hamburg | found that
she had passed through the canal early that
morning, and was now ON the North sea on
her way to England. 1t was not until more
than a week later when [ sailed into the
port of Weymouth, England. on board the
United States ship Topeka, that | succeeded
i'll getting her signal flags aboard her. Cap
tain Knapp told me that from the mouth
of the Elbe to Weymouth he had had "A
very rough trip, but he had made it in three
days, averaging twelve knots an hour
which was as much as any torpedo boat vi
ner size could have made under similar cir
CumStanceS.
When he arrived in Weymouth he caus-
ed an inspection to be made, which showed
that the Somers had not leaked a drop, in
spite of her rough handling. and, consider
ing the weather she was out in, he believed
her to be very comfortable boat.
At Weymouth an English crew was put
aboard the Somers and Captain Poust and
the Germans We're paid off and sent home.
Ehe Englishmen We're evidently afraid
of her, for every time they put to sea in
her they declared that she was leaking
Twice she put back into port on account OF
these reports, and each time little or moth
ing was found to be the mat,er. The third
attempt to get her to sea in company with
the Topeka succeeded in getting her as far
as Famouth, where We put in because the
Somers had made signal that she was sink
ing. This report was found to be as ground
less as the two previous ones. There was
however. a very slight leak about the sub
merged torpedo tube, and her crew. now
thoroughly demoralized. absolutely refused
to go to sea Unless she was dry-docked ard
inspected by an agent of Lloyds
1T being utterly impossible to engage a
Lew crew for her at Falmouth Captain
Knapp was obliged to yield to their de-
mands. and arranged to have her dry
locked.
As she was being put into the docks
whether by accident of design cannot be
proved-her sailing master ran her head
on into a stone pier. which caused such
serious damage as, without doubt, to re-
quire her to remain In dry dock for repairs
at least ten days.
This was on April 49, and as we were
sure that war would be declared in few
days at the furthest. We were obliged to
sail away in the Topeka without her The
day after war declared the English
captain of the port called upon the officer
in command of the Somers and told him
that Great Britain, under her proclamation
of neutrality. must request him to go to
sea in twenty-four hours: and If he were
unable to do so, the English government
would be obliged to detain the Somers in
port during the continuance of the war
And so. after all our trouble and expense
one of our torpedo boats was left in Fall
mouth harhor. of no more use to us in our
war with Spain than if she had remained

only one trip will be made over the course.
Last Sunday fifty miles We're made by most
of the boys in the quick time of three
hours and thirty minutes, and several
made a century of it in eight hours, not
having to push themselves, either. 1t will
be demonstrated that some time far below
seven hours will be made on the open CEN
