State Gets Money!.

The state treasury received cheek
for 1925, 622 "a from the United States
war department to reimburse Minneso-
a. -fo- A-r---~a inn""rad in eQuipping
volunteers for the Spanish-American
war. This is one of several claims
which the state has against the gov
eminent, aggregating $199,619.
Notwithstanding reports from Wash
ington that $s4, 119 of this amount had
been disallowed, State Auditor S. G.
Iverson believes that Minnesota will be
reimbursed to the full amount of the
expenditures for this purpose. Mr..
Iverson says that it may require an act
Of congress, but that eventually the
money will be forthcoming.

until the general staff bill was In opera

department were we'll under way. 1t
is understood that the matter Of his
successor has been discussed and while
nothing official can be obtained it is
believed that the position will be ten
dered to Gov. Taft.
Based on Personal Grounds.
Secretary Roots desire to leave pub
lie life is based largely on personal
grounds. His family does not like the
life in Washington and the secretary
desires also to return to his law prac-
tice in New York. The great questions
that were pending in the war department,
relating mainly to the administration of
the islands acquired from Spain and the
establishment of a government in Cuba,
have been accomplished during Secre-
tary Roots administration. The reor-
ganization of the army under the general
staff plan is now under way and the Sec
rotary feels that he has accomplished
the work that he was called on to do
when he became secretary Of war.

Hunters Licenses.


The state game and fish commission

The licenses are made to conform to
the new law and the care which has
been put upon their manufacture will
be appreciated by the hunters. The
resident licenses are printed on heavy
cloth and have attached to each -
coupons. Each of these is a shipping
coupon and each bears upon it's face
the number of the license. The coup

deer, two moose and two caribou,
which is all the law allows.

was thought had passed, instead OF pre-

south early this morning and struck
Jamaica with it's full force, inflicting
damage which it will take years to re-
pair Owing to the interruption of tele-
graphic communication it is impossible
as yet to estimate the amount of the
losses, but they must reach millions OF
dollars.
Every banana plantation in the east
ern half of the island has been devas-
tated. The situation in the western half
is unknown. Considerable injury was
done to property in Kingston and the
suburbs The roof of the electric light
works was blown off and the machinery
was disabled. Railroad traffic was in

II am stronger than Pope Leo. Why
should not do what he did,"
1t was explained to him that Leo, when
elected, began by taking fortnight's
perfect rest, and thereafter gradually
trained himself to his new duties. More
over, Leo's special constitution did not
need exercise in the fresh air, which an
ordinary healthy man does.
At noon Pope Plus was reported to be
almost restored to his normal condition,
but was keeping his room, as he feels
occasionally slight palpitation Of the
heart.
The pope ardently wished to receive
the Austrian ambassador, who was to
present his credentials, but he was per-
suaded to renounce his intention, not
only in this case, but with regard to all
audiences which were fixed for Wednes-
day.
The pope, after taking some medicine
to calm his heart and nerves, was able
to lunch, afterwards taking a sleep,
which lasted two hours and half On
awakening he felt much benefited and
refreshed.
Ceremonies Too Much.
The pope has been overexerting him
self to such an extent that his naturally
strong constitution was unable to bear
the strain put upon it by the coronation
ceremonies. Such has been the effect
upon his nerves that he has been unable
to sleep for whole nights, while numer-
Gus receptions Monday made matters
worse. Monday night his holiness was
very much agitated, still he insisted
upon admitting Tuesday morning to
hear his mass all Venetians who had
journeyed to Rome purposely to attend
the coronation. They numbered about
300 when the mass began in the Pauline
chapel, and the air was vitiated, with the
temperature above 80 degrees.
Pope Plus was seen to grow paler and
paler, finally throwing out his hands
as though seeking support. He would
have fallen had not Mgr. Bressan, his
private chaplain, been quick to catch
him. 1t is impossible to describe the
confusion and alarm among the wor-
shippers while the pope lay motionless
and unconscious, with his eyes closed.
Fortunately, among the Venetians
present was DR.. Davenezia, who for nine
years has been the pope's attending ply
stefan at Venice, but had been called
only once during that time to treat q
sore throat.
Davenezia gave the pontiff Immediate
assistance, while the messengers tele-
phoned DR.. Lapponi. The latter rushed
to the vatican, but did not arrive until
after the pope had been restored to con-
sciousness and taken to his own apart
ment.

WORKON THE CANAL
Col. Quinn Says Work will
Soon Begin on the
Waterway

From all indications work will soon
be commenced on the canal that is to
be cut through Plantation and Club
creeks to the Altamaha river, and
Col. Quinn, In charge of the govern
ment work in this section, thinks the
plan is an excellent one. Speaking
of the proposed canal, the Savannah
News Of yesterday. says:
The announcement in the Morning
News yesterday that the special com
nittee appointed to investigate the
advisability of cutting through from
the Altamaha river to the back river
near Brunswick, is regarded by Col.
Quinn as the first step taken to-
wards the inland route. The Skida-
way Narrows project was part Of
the original plan.
AT present boats along the Altama-
ha are compelled to pass into st.
Simon sound and other sounds on
their way to Brunswick. Considera-
BILE danger was run by this route, a
danger which the new route will com
pletely obliterate When completed
the boats can come from all points
along tie Altamaha river to Bruins
wick by an inland route, sheltered
from high winds and ocean storms.
The Ilan is feasible owing to deep
water il the back river. By moving
s. ort distance down the Altamaha
boats reach Clubb's creek A short
distance from this creek, at g point
nearly opposite st, Simon's sound,
rms Plantation creek. By cutting
through this narrow strip of land boats
can easily reach the Black river anu
thence move down it to point only
a short distance from Bruins WICK. Inc
nlan is one which was warmly aoFo'
Gated by Col. Quinn and tne report
of the special board, recommending
the work, is highly pleasing to him
This is regarded as the first stel
