WEST INDIA HURRICANE.

The eastern portion of the island Of
Jamaica has been completely denuded Of
its crops, the rivers are flooded, and
many men were carried out to sea and
drowned. Considering the damage to
property during the hurricane, the loss
of life is comparatively small, though
the present estimate is that the death
list will reach fifty. Hundreds of per-
sons were injured, and there were nu-
merous hairbreadth escapes. The prop
cry loss is estimated at so, 600, 000
The effects of the hurricane upon the
island of Jamaica were greater than at
first believed. Port Antonio, on the
north coast, was completely overwhelmed;
only six houses were left standing there.
The United Fruit Company's wharves,
offices, hotel, and plantations were ut
terly demolished. Five ofthe company's
steamers, including the Simon Dumois,
Alfred Dumois, and Brighton, were
driven ashore, but are lying in easy
positions. Port Maria, another town
on the north coast, also suffered similarly.
The coast is strewn with wreckage of
local sailing boats.
1t is feared that the loss of life has
been heavy, thirty fatalities already hav-
ing been reported, principally among
seamen. The entire eastern end of the
island has been devastated. Villages
have been wiped out and public build
ings and churches demolished Thous-
ands of the peasantry, rendered home
less and destitute, are wandering about
seeking food and shelter. The destruc-
ton of the banana plantations has been
complete and the fruit trade is paralyzed
for the next twelve months. Hundreds
of prosperous fruit growers have been
brought to bankruptcy and ruin.
The western end of the island, which
it was at first supposed had escaped, also
suffered considerably, though not to the
extent which the eastern end did. The
new banana plantations planted there
were partly destroyed, and the orange
and coffee crops were also injured. The
Norwegian steamer Salvatore di GiOrgio
was driven ashore at Annotta bay and
lies in a dangerous position. Several
sailing vessels were wrecked on the north
side.
1t is still stormy and threatening, and
there are fears that there may be re-
newal of the storm. Torrential rains
have increased the misery of the poor
and homeless. Thousands Of houses IN
Kingston were damaged, and wharf
property destroyed. Trade is practi'
cally at a standstill.

President and senators Confer.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 1S.-As a
result of the conference between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the members of the
Senate subcommittee on finance last
night, Congress may be called in ex-
traordinary session in October. The
date of calling the extra session, if one
is called, has not been decided upon,
but it will probably be several weeks
earlier than November 9th, the dale
previously decided upon. The Presi-
dent and some of his advisers it is said
feel that the extra session should be
held earlier in order that there will be
plenty Of time to dispose Of the currency
legislation before the campaign opens in
the summer of 1904. The currency
bill will be given a start in the extra
session and by the time the regular
session begins, in December, its pas
sage will be only a matter ola few weeks
of routine procedure. The conference
at Sycamore Hill was participated in by
the President and Senators Aldrich, AL
lison, Spooner, and Plat, ofConnecticut,
and took place in the library. 1t lasted
until long after midnight, aud was de-
voted more to the methods of procedure
than to the features of the bill. In a
general way, it may be said that the bill,
which will be pushed through with all
the influence of the administration, will
provide for a more elastic currency
one that can be expanded or contracted
as the financial needs of the money
centres demand. The Senators and the
President hope 10 offer Congress a
measure that will be as acceptable to
the financial interests of the country as
it is to both Houses of Congress. TIE
Senators left Sycamore Hill at 1880 this
morning, and embarked on the yacht
Virginia, for the return trip to Senator
Aldrich's home at Warwick, r. |.

In Deadly Strife.

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-A fierce race war
is now in progress at Whiting, Ind.
Already three men have been seriously,
if not MORALLY injured, and four hun
dred Infatuated Servians and Hungar-
ians employed by the Standard Oh
Compony are battling with each other
in the streets of the Indiana city.
Clubs, bricks, and stones are the
weapons employed by members OF the
MODS with which the police are utterly
unable to cope. Eighteen Of the rioters
have been arressed but hundreds remain
who defy the law guardians, each faction
declaring that nothing but the expul
sion from the city of members
of the other band will satisfy.
The trouble began between two families
named Winiski and Buzech, in Europe,
and was transferred to this country
when the families came and located in
Whiting. Gradually all the relatives
and friends have become involved until
the factions have assumed the proportions
of two small armies continually fighting
each other. The arrest OF Is and the
fining of several of them $50, and costs
did not have the desired effect, and al
midnight last night, the fighting was in
progress. Several attempts were made
to set fire to the houses of the leaders Of
the factions.

Mob Spirit in Organized Labor"

Chauatauqua, n. Y, Aug. 1S.-"Mob
spirit in organized labor was the title
of paper read by d. NJ. Parry, Presi-
dent of the National Association Of
Manufacturers before the Cbautauqua
Assembly today, His address was
mainly devoted to bitter attack upon
organized labor. He called it a
"mobocracy," and declared that
coercion, intimidation, and the blud-
geon we're its reliance. Mob spirit" said
Mr.. Parry, 'it relic of the barbarous
stage of human development. In
essence it is a hatred or contempt for
all regulations of government, and an
attempt by the vicious and ignorant to
impress their will upon Others by the
exercise of physical force. Mobs may
be spontaneous in growth, or their
formation may extend over long
period. They may be poorly organized
or they may be under good discipline.
In this country, in the last year, there
have been many mobs of different
kinds, but to my mind the most
dangerous of them all is the mob of or
ganized labor. No man, take it, can
object to any kind of an association,
laborEor otherwise, which is organized
for lawful and benefcent purposes, but
organized labor, asst is conducted today,
stands convicted by its own leaders as a
lawless organization, in that it seeks
by physical force to override individual
rights, and in its continually railing
against the laws and denouncing the
courts and public officials for enforcing
these laws, it fulflls all the requirements
of the definition of mobocracy. Unlike
the lynching bees and the vigilance COM
mittees, it is what might be termed 8
standing mob, under fair discipline by
its officers and ready upon occasion tc
commit the overt acts of outrage anC
destruction which are the outward man
Hesitation of the mob spirit. 1t declares,
in effect, that its will is superior to GUS
toms, traditions, government regulations, anc
even the legislation Of the country. IL asserts
that the individual has no inherent rights tha
cannot be taken from him, and that there
fore, it has the right to say that no man shall
work and that no industry shall run without
its consent. In its attempt to compel rec
Ognition Of its pretensions to sovereignty, II
relies not on reason, but upon coercion, intim
dation and the bludgeon. In its continue
preachments against law and its constant ap
peal to the baser passions of men, 1t is dolnt
more than any other agency to inculcate thu
mob spirit and TO encourage the unfurllng o
the red flag of anarchy"

LYNCHINGS AYERTED.

The town of Peach Bottom, near
York, Pa, had small race war Tues
day in which William Dorsey, negro,
was shot. Dorsey and another colored
man, Charles Haywood, were denied
drinks at John r. Moore's hotel. This
angered the men, and they assaulted
Moore with revolyers and knives. He
procured a shotgun and filed Dorsey
hip and back with shot. The two
negroes, who are desperate characters,
and who have been terrorizing The lower
end Of the county for several months,
narrowly escaped lynching when the
news of their conduct spread, a mob
having been formed to administer lynch
law. The legal authorities captured the
negroes, however. and succeeded in
carrying them to York, where they were
placed in Jail.
Eight negroes were arrested for an at
tempted criminal assault on Mrs. Hart,
white woman, at Whitesboro, Texas,
Yesterday. Seven we're released and the
eighth man was held for Identification.
A mob appeared at the Jail last night,
took the negro and hanged him to tree
nearby. Before he became unconscious
officers appeared. and rescued the negro
and hurried him to Sherman for safe
keeping. The mob is gathering to Pur-
sue the prisoner, and it is said other
communities will join the mob.
