FIRST AMERICAN CARDINAL
TO VOTE FOR POPE

Cardinal Gibbons is the first Ameri-
can cardinal to take part in the election
of Pope. and but for the delicate posi-
ton he had to occupy during the Span
ish-American war, which incurred the
hostility Of Spanish cardinals. he would
probably have been favorite for the
papal crown, in spite of the fact that
iwo-thirds Of the cardinals are Italians.
He is man of such learning, broad
Christian spirit and conservative judg-
ment that lie is as highly respected on
the continent as he is in the United
States, where his popularity is great
among men Of all classes. The cardinal
took leading part in the cOnclave held
to choose LeO's successor, as he was
the representative of the new order Of
things.

GREAT LOSS IN JAMAICA.

Storm Strikes leland, Plantations De.
vastated and Telegraph Wires Down.
The hurricane, only the fringe of which
struck the western end of Jamaica Mon
day and which, it was thought, had pass
ed, veered to the south early the follow
ing morning, instead of proceeding to the
northwest, and struck Jamaica with full
force, inflicting damage which it will
take years to repair. Owing to the in
terruption of telegraphic communication
it is impossible to estimate the amount
of the losses, but they must reach mill
ions of dollars. Every banana planta-
tion in the eastern half of the island has
been devastated. The situation in the
western half is unknown. Considerable
damage was done to property in Kings
ton and its suburbs. The roof of the cleo
trio light plant was blown off and the
machinery was disabled. Railroad traffic
was interrupted and street cars were
stopped. Many houses were damaged by
falling trees. No loss of life is reported.

Bones of Extinct Animals In Caves
Indian Traditions Verified.
The expedition conducted by Prof.
John @. Merriam of the geological de-
partment of the University of Califor-
mia. which explored the caves of Shasta
County. has made several finds of inter
est to science. Two new caves have
proved rich in archaeological remains,
yielding up bones of animals now ex-
tinct and of species hitherto unknown
to scientists. Bones of mountain lions, a
bison, wolf, porcupine. a cave bear
and ground sloth were found, with all
the bones of the extinct porcupine. and
also an almost complete specimen of n
small cave bear. In one of these caves
an old tradition had it that m Indian
woman wandering about had stumbled
into well, the bottom of which could
never be reached. This well was expior-
ed, and at the bottom was found the
skeleton of woman, fairly well pre-
served, who fell or was thrown into the
well about hundred years ago.

Train wrecked in Kansas.

Topeka (Kan.) special: The engine,
mail car and baggage car Of tho Texas
express on the Rock Island, went through
q bridge across Hendricks creek, near
Alma, killing Fireman John Leggett and
seriously injuring Engineer John Nc
Steen. The baggagemen and expressmen
jumped when the shock came and wers
swept by the waters in tree tops frIm
which they were rescued by William
Graves. fisherman. Graves also found
the engineer unconscious and entangled
in the limbs Of tree. The engine is at
the bottom of the creek out Of sight. One
car is dangling from the end Of the bridge
and another is lodged on the bank Of tho
stream, partially under water. That =
heavy loss OF life did not follow is due tc
the narrowness of the stream where the
disaster occurred. A cloudburst had filled
the creek and weakened the bridge.

populous section of the city. This train
was promptly emptied and the train
which followed was ordered to push it to
the repairing sheds. On the way these
two trains caught fire, but the employees
succeeded in escaping.
Meanwhile a crowded train reached
LesCharonnes, the preceding station, and
the officials. seeing smoke pouring out
of the tunnel, gave the alarm. Amid the
increasing smoke many attempted to re-
turn along the line toward Belleville, and
they were suffocated.
The officials seem to have lost their
heads and are unable to say how many
passengers went out. The firemen for
several hours were unable to enter the
station or the tunnel owing to the dense
smoke which poured out in black cloIds.
Meanwhile tens of thousands of anxious
people gathered about the station. All
the police and fire authorities were on the
spot and the excitement was intense.
Finally the firemen succeeded in flood-
ing the burning mass and shortly after
ward they were able to enter the tunnel.

Plan to Improve Postal Service :

Trninmen to Handle Bags.
To improve the mail service all rail-
way trains will be placed directly under
the protection of the government if plans
made by Postmaster General Payne are
carried out. Mr.. Payne would make
every trainman a government employe
empowered to handle mail. Letters and
packages would then be sent in a man
ner similar to that used in distributing
newspapers. Mail matter would be taken
aboard a train without first being deliv-
cred at postofice. 1t is understood that
the railways favor the idea, for it would
make every train a mail train, and it
would be an offense against the federal
government to stop one of them.
