Professor NJ Gee Resigns.

Prof. w. J. McGee, ethnologist in
charge OF the United States Bureau OF
American Ethnology, has resigned to
devote himself more actively to the
work OF supervising the chronological
section OF the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position.
1t is understood that one OF the rea-
sons for Professor McGee leaving the
bureau were differences which had ex-
isted between him and Prof. w. H.
Holmes ever since the latter became the
chief OF the bureau.
Major J. w. Powell the former chief
OF the bureau, died last lear. Professor
McGee was then thought by many OF
the scientists OF Washington to be the
logical successor OF Major Powell, as
Professor McGee had been in close
touch with the anthropological and eth
biological work OF the bureau and at
tached to many OF its expeditions into
the far Southwest for number OF
years. 1t is stated that Professor Nc
Gee has been at odds with the new
chief ever since he assumed charge OF
the bureau. Professor McGee is one
OF the best known scientists OF this city
and has been connected with the bureau
since 1898.
Professor McGee's wife is DR.. Anita
Newcomb McGee, who has the dis
tinction OF being the only woman who
has held commission as surgeon in
the United States Army. This was dur
ing the Spanish-American War She is
the daughter OF Prof. Simon Newcomb,
the noted astronomer Of this city.

0endarmes' Barracks Collapse and Plan
iatlons Are Destroyed 10 Martinique.

Kingston, Jamaica (SpeciaD.-There
are heartrending scenes all over the
eastern and northern portions Of the
Island Of Jamaica. At Port Antonio
thousands Of homeless and starving
people have sought shelter in the old
prison and the few other buildings
which survived the hurricane. Those
who could not be accommodated are
covering in the lee Of ruined walls and
dismantled piazzas.
The railroad sheds and waiting rooms
are filed with women and children.
The merchants of the place are feeding
the hungry to the best OF their ability,
but the majority are depending upon
green, unripe bananas knocked down
by the storm. The bananas are boiled
in kerosene tins over open fires made
from the debris OF destroyed buildings.
This is their sole food supply, and it
will be exhausted in or 10 days.
Similar conditions prevail at Annotta
Bay, Buff Bay, Orange Bay, Port Ma
ria, Manchionel, Morant Bay, Bowden
and other small seaports.
In the interior the distress is equally
acute.
Scarcely a peasants home is stand
ing. Even the dwellings OF the plan
tiers, which are built OF substantial
stone, have been unroofed, with few
exceptions.
The misery OF the peasants families
is indescribable. Their homes and be-
longings have been literally blown away
and they are contrving rude shelters
from fallen trees, palm boughs and ba-
mana leaves. Owing to the continued
unsettled weather, with occasional tor
rental rains, these shelters afford prac-
tically no protection.
Efforts are being made at Kingston
to relieve the immediate wants OF some
localities by subscriptions OF food and
clothing, but the local efforts at best
are totally inadequate. Unless immedi-
ate shipments OF foodstuffs come from
America. deaths by starvation are in
evitable.
The local hospitals in the wind
swept districts are crowded with the in
jured and the death list is increasing.
Some localities have not yet reported.
One man was beheaded at Port Antonio
by flying sheet OF galvanized roofing.
Many were seriously wounded by fall
ing houses, trees and walls. Several
houses located on the banks OF the
streams were carried away by the
floods. The fate OF their inmates is
unknown, but it is feared that there
have been many deaths from this cause.
The bulk OF the Blue Mountain Cof-
fee has been ruined, and the Pimento
Groves, which stood for centuries, have
been obliterated.
1t is now estimated that the loss on
the island will reach $4,000 900.

PTOMAINES IN THE SANDWICHES.
Hurry Call for Doctors to Attend Company
at Senator Stewards Farm.

Washington, D. c. (Special).-A re-
markable case OF ptomaine poisoning
is reported from Ashburne, Va, some
20 miles outside Washington. A large
number OF persons had gathered to at
tend the sale OF the dairy farm owned
by Senator Stewart, Of Nevada The
Senator served the prospective buyers
light luncheon, consisting oi'coffee,
ham and beef sandwiches. Shortly
afterwards at least 90 persons were
taken violently i'll, suffering from pto-
maine poisoning. One after another
they fell to the ground, writhng in
agony. Horscmen were dispatched in
all directions for doctors, and a num-
Der responded and took prompt meas
ures to relieve the sufferers.
In statement issued at II o'clock
p. m. doctors report their patients out
OF danger, although many still are quite
i'll. An investigation developed the
fact that the beef, which had been pur-
chased in Washington and kept in cold
storage on the farm for several days,
was the cause OF the trouble.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Silver for Philippines.

Director of the Mint Roberts received
a report on the purchase of silver for the
new Philippine coinage, covering every
thing up to August /, which shows that
the seigniorage will yield substantial
contribution to the redemption fund in
the new Philippine currency system.
1--WE have bought o7II, $4,000 ounces
of bullion, for which we have paid S5,-
I4s,76253," said Mr.. Roberts. THE
Philippine peso contains three and half
more grains than our silver dollar, or an
amount Of bullion worth slightly less
than 42 cents. Its currency value on the
new 81 to basis will be so cents, leaving
a margin of profit in the shape of seign-
forage which will go far toward solving
the redemption fund problem which for
so long troubled the Senate financiers."
Bids for 100000 worth OF certifi-

worth of similar certificates have already
been issued to buy bullion, and Congress
has authorized the issuance of $Io,ooo,-
600 worth of the certificates in all.
The Philippine certificates are exempt
from the payment of taxes or duties
either in the United States or the Philip
pines.

RUSSIA SENDS WARSHIPS
Part Of Her Black Sea Fleet to 0verawe
the Sultan.
Full PREPARATION IS DEMANDED.
Tbe Russiss Ambassador Has Been Telegraph
ed to Frsa Sebsstopol Notifying Him Of the
Orders Received By the Naval Headquarters
30 Thst He May be Prepared fer Whatever
Nav Come.

St. Petersburg (By Cable).-A
squadron OF the Russian Black Sea
zleet has been ordered to sail for Turk
ish waters.
Notification of this move has been
selegraphed from Sebastapol to M
zinovieff, Russian Ambassador at
Constantinople. The dispatch OF the
squadron is intended TO emphasize
Russia's intention OF exacting complete
compliance with her demands as to
satisfaction for the murder, by Turk
ish gendarme, OF NJ. Rostkovski, Con-
sui at Monastir.
Il is announced that last Tuesday
Count Lamsdorff, the Foreign Minis
aer, telegraphed to M. Zinovieff that
the Sultan's expression of regret, the
visit OF coincidence by Prince Ahmed
the Sultan's son, to the Ambassador,
and the expressions OF sympathy by
the Grand Vizier and other high Turk
ssh dignitaries were not considered
adequate satisfaction for the murder
OF NJ. Rotkovski. When M. Stched-
bina, the Russian Consul, was murder
ed at Mitrovitza, continued Count
Lamsdorff, the Gar took into account
the fact that the murderer was an AL
banian whose tribe was in rebellion
against the government. The outrage
at Monastir, however, was OF another
character and called for the severest
punishment. The Gar therefore or
dered that no promises on the part
OF the Turkish Government should be
accepted, but that demands should be
made as follows:
The immediate severe punishment OF
the murderer; the arrest and exemplary
punishment OF the person who fired at
M. Rostkovsh' carriage; the imme-
diate production OF positive proofs that
the Vail OF Monastir has been actually
banished; the instant severe punish
ment OF all other civil and military Of
tcials responsible for the murder.
In addition to these demands, AM
bAssador Zinovieff was instructed as a
means OF general pacifcation in the vii
ayet of Monastir to make the follow
ing demands:
The immediate severe punishment OF
all Turkish officials regarding whose
outrageous behavior" report was
made by the director OF the Russian
consulate at Uskub, after a tour OF
the vilayet OF Kossovo in company
with the Austrian consul; the rein
statement OF Ismail Hakki, who was
dismissed, but whose efficiency was in
dorsed by Hilmi Pasha, Inspector gen.
eral OF Macedonia; the immediate re-
lease OF the peasant on whom, ac-
cording to the reports OF the Russian
and Austrian Consuls, the Turks per-
petrated atrocities; the instant dismis-
sal and punishment OF the officials of
the administration OF Salonica and Pris-
rend, whose malpractices have been
exposed to the light" and finally that
the foreign officers employed in Mac
edonia shall Immediately enroll fresh
gendarmes and police for the protec-
tion OF the peaceful population and the
introduction of legislative order.
