FAST FRUIT STEAMERS.
Direct Line to Run Between England
and Jamaica.

ana Jamaica.
Correspondence of Associated Press.1
kingston Jamaica, April 24.-Tele-
graphic information was received yes
terday that the contract between Elder,
Dempster & Co. and the British colon
ial office for the establishment of di-
rect line of fast fruit steamers between
England and Jamaica, was signed in
London on the 18th instant The con-
tract is for ten years. 1t provides that
the steamers to be used at the COM
mencement Of the service are to be Of
5000 tons and to be able to carry 40 first
class and Is second class passengers.
After 1904 they are to be of 5000 tons
and to be able to carry 100 first class
and so second class passengers.
The first steamer is to leave England
January 16 next and to leave Jamaica
on the return voyage on February 4 The
ports of call are to be Port Antonio and
Kingston. These, however, may be
changed or additional ports of call may
be designated. The minimum purchase
is to be 10000 punches and the freight
is not to exceed two shillings and six
pence per bunch. Elder, Dempster &
Co. agree to provide no fewer than six
skilled agents whose special duty it will
be to improve the fruit cultivation Of
Jamaica. Elder, Dempster & Co. are to
get a subsidy of 10000, one-half of
which is to be paid by Jamaica and the
other by the imperial exchequer It re-
mains to be seen what influence this di-
rect line will have upon the fruit indus
try of the island, an industry built by
American enterprise and American dol
lars.
Reports from the north side of the is
! land show a large demand for bananas
there. Prices are on the increase week
! ". The fruit however, is scarce at
present although the fields give promise
of an abundant supply within the next
few weeks. Probably the output this
year will be much in excess of the pro-
duction for many years past.

VIEWS OF CLEMENS.
The Topeka Socialist Discusses Bryan
at Guthrie.


Guthrie, o. r, May 1-G. C. Clemens,
the Topeka socialist, who lectured here
Sunday. says William Jennings Bryan
should fuse on his views of foreign af-
fairs. He says Of Bryan:
organs position IS inconsistent with
itself at almost every point. He claims
that the constitution follows the flag.
Well how far can the constitution travel
in pursuit of the hag2 Is it limited by
latitude and longitude2 Is the cOnStltu-
ton suffering from cOrns, 50 that it can
follow the flag no further than Porto
Rico? The flag is in Manila. Has the
constitution followed it there? If so. is
Aguinaldo a Washington or Jeffer-
son Davis? If the constitution is there,
then, under that constitution, he IS
rebel in arms against the United States.
Yet Bryan thinks Aguinaldo is right.
Then Bryan is a firm champion of the
Monroe doctrine. He says We should
stay out Of the Orient. He means We
should stay out of Asia, for he peremp-
torily demands that we shall interfere
in South Africa. He charges the pres
ent national administration with shame
less perfidy toward the BilpinOs; says
Mckinley led the Filipinos to believe we
were their friends and then. having
thrashed the Spaniards, turned our at
tentiOn to thrashing the Fihpinos. Y ct
he urges the same perhdious admins
tration to come to the relief Of the
Beers against the British. Is it not
cruel? Does he not know that, unless
Mckinley is not perhdlOuS or unless
he has reformed, having licked the Brit
ish, our army would be set to work
licking the Beers. How can Mckinley
be trusted to be more honest in South
Africa than he has been IN the Philip
pines? Mr.. Bryan ought really to get
together and fuse somehow on his views
of foreign affairs"

Rabies and Patriotism.

We are in receipt Of a very interest
ling communication from an officer OF
THE navy in which the writer discusses
THE question of hydrophobia from the
standpoint of his observations in the
Icity of Constantinople, where, as ev-
lerybody knows, dogs prevail to an as
founding extent. Our correspondent
thas labeled his communication per
%tsonal," which, of course, forbids the
publication thereof, but we nay say,
without violating confidence, that it
strongly supports the theory entertain
ed in many scientific quarters n here
l~tofore extensively exploited, that rabies
in dogs is caused by their segregation
and confinement, and that it does not
leXist where they run at large and
Imingle together without restraint. Our
There are half a million of dogs in Con-
l~stantinople dwelling upon this plan,
land that rabies is unknown.
This theory is strongly supported by
1.-THE we'll known fact that in rural dis
ltricts-really rural districts, We mean,
lwhere dogs exist in great numbers and
where no one ever dreams of shutting
them up-rabies is almost as unknown
Jas in Constantinople. Who ever heard,
for instance, in the great plantation re-
lgions of the Mississippi Valley, of mad
dogs among the untold thousands of
hounds, yellow ours, etc., which roam
lat will upon that fertile soil? Even in
large cities, where dogs of all kinds
I%abound, is it not a fact that what our
~"scientists" are pleased to call rabies
invariably develops in pet dogs which
are carefully cooped up and not allow

lit is true that the existing panic in
Washington originated in the case OF
a dog belonging to a distinguished for

Ibe-that all this hullabaloo is the pro-

that the confinement, the muZZling,

AT coLoRED A. d Nj. COLLEGE.
President James Ii. Dudley Makes an
Important Announcements Regarding
Smallpox.
Greensboro, n. c., Jan. is, 1900

Greensboro, N. c.. jar. 16. 1900.
Editor Messenger:
Upon the advice of our college ply
stefan, DIR. J. E. Dellinger, Monday af-
ternoon we requested Mayor Taylor
to have DR.. c. F. wertenbaker, past
assistant surgeon of the United States
marine hospital service, examine a
student, whose sickness though very
slight had caused is some feelings of
apprehension. DR.. Wertenbaker ex-
amined the case and pronounced 1t
smallpox in a mild form. We immedi-
ately had the boy removed from the
college, began a thorough system of
disinfection, and have a all students,
teachers and attaches of the college
vaccinated. The combined effect of
these three measures-isolation, dis
infection and vaccination-so strongly
recommended by Drs. Wertenbaker n
Dellinger, we confidently believe will
entirely remove the danger to which We
have been unwittingly exposed, and
render the continued attendance of our
students here safer and wiser than
their departure fo- home. While we
shall make no effort to have any stu
dent remain against his will or the
wishes of his family, We believe, n
have been advised by the doctors that
the departure OF students now is un-
necessary, unwiSe and to some extent
dangerous.
Therefore, we recommend that our
patrons give themselves no d IN
easiness, as every possible precaution-
probably more than could be taken by
them if at home-is being carefully OBJ
served. No concealment of conditions
at the college will be made. Should IL
appear that any other has already been
affected by the exposure which no
longer exists, prompt announcement
will be made of its development. With
the complete isolation of the case
which we have on hand, the thorough
disinfection of the building which is
now in progress, and the vaccination
of all persons connected with the col
lege, it is the opinion of competent au-
thorities that further infection here is
highly improbable and we'll nigh i'm
possible.
In connection with the diagnosis by
our college physician, DR.. Dellinger, it
m IA be a matter of interest to know
that DR.. Wertenbaker, who is one of
the best known smallpox experts in the
south, stated that the case which we
have presents less symptoms of small
pox thai any other case in the city.
For the present DR.. Dellinger will
make daily inspections of the students
so that no suspicious symptoms may
escape attention.
After a little excitement incident to
the announcement of smallpox in our
school and the interruption of our
work on account of general yaccina-
ton, conditions have become normal
and the regular work of the college
has been resumed.
Very respectfully,
JAMES B.DUDLEY.
