Islanders Face Starvation.

Kingston. Jamaica. There are
heart rending scenes all over the east.
ern and northern portions of the
islands of jamaica. At Port Antonio
thousands of homeless and starving
people have sought shelter in the
island prison and the few other build
ings which survive the hurricane.
Those who could not be thus accom-.
modated are covering in the lee oi
ruined walls and dismantled piazzas.
The railroad sheds and waiting rooms
are filled with women and children.
The merchants of the place are feed
ing the hungry to the best of their
ability, but the maj i)rity are pepond-
ing upon green, unripe bananas
knocked down by the storm.

Lee County TO Sell Bonds to Reclaim

IMMENSE TARPONS CAUGHT
Trouble Brewing Between Oyster and
Shrimp Fishermen and the Packers---
Agreement Between Candidates Cor
demned at Natchez.

During the summer the oystermen
and men engaged in taking shrimp
have organized strong union known
as the Oystermen's Protective Asso-
citation. The Biloxi branch of the or
ganization has membership of 325.
AS the fall shrimping season ap-
proaches it becomes evident that there
wiIfbe some friction between the as
sociation and the packers. The oys-
termen will Insist on "sealed" or
stamped" measure ITO be used in
buying shrimp and oysters, different
from the measure that has heretofore
been in vogue. The old "half-bar-
rel" that has been in use since the
canneries were established along this
coast. is fourteen inches high, nlne-
teen inches in diameter at the bottom
and twenty-four inches at the top.
This measure will hold about los to
110 pounds of shrimp. The new
measure which the oystermen insist
shall be adopted will contain just 100
pounds. Though the shrimping sea
son has scarcely begun and only one
Of the Biloxi factories has worked any
shrimp this season, 1t is now evident
that there viii be a conflict between
the association and the packers, not
only in regard to the "sealed" meas
ure, but 81 the price to be paid for
shrimp and oysters as well. The pack
ers say that they are willing to pay
the highest market price, but are un-
willing that the association shall die
tate what that price shall be, and
they are not willing to adopt the
sealed measure. At present the oys-
termen are only insisting on the
sealed or stamped measure.

By The Senate of the District of C0IOm-
bia, Says a CabIegram.
FROM MINISTER AT BOGOTA
The Nicarauga Route May be Taken up
Again Without Further Authorization
by Congress. Washington Officials
Hesitate to Comment About it.
Bogota, Colombia. - The Panama
canal treaty has been rejected unani-
mously by the Colombian Congress.
The News at Was hingtOn.

Washington. A cabIegram, has
been received at th Q state department
from Minister Beaupre at Bogota,
saying that the Panama canal treaty
has been rejected by the Colombian
Senate.
President Roosevelt was Immediate
ly advised of the news, Mr.. Beaupre's
telegram being forwarded by Acting
Secretary Loomis to Oyster Bay.
Very little additional information
concerning the action of the Colon,
bian Senate could be obtained at the
state department.. Mr.. Loomis was
not at the department, the statement
being made that he had gone away foI
few days on business. Mr.. Adee,
acting secretary, would not discuss
Colombian affairs, nor indicate what
course the U nited States would pur-
sue. The Inflammation ip the cable:
gram of Minister Beaupre was mea-
ger, and there was no intimation
whether the treaty might not again be
brought up for consideration.
Section four of The Isthmian canal
act provides that should the president
be nnable to obtain satisfactory title
to the property of the new Panama ca
nal, and control of the necessary ter
ritory and the rights necessary to the
construction of the canal from the
republic of Columbia, he shall make
the necessary treaties with Costa Rica
and Nicarauga, and proceed with the
construction of q canal by the Mica
raugua route.
1t will be impossible for President
Marrcquin to submit again the treaty
to the Colombian Congress in its pres
ent form. The senate having rejected
it, the treaty cannot again come before
that body except by the senate's own
vote.
President Marroquin. however can
send The treaty slightly amended tc
the senate and reopen the canal de.
bate. 1t is believed at the Colon bian
legation that President Marroquin will
adopt some such procedure.

Mobbed the Preacher.

New k.-Because he made ref
erence which the crowd considered
uncomplimentary to two women who
were listening to him, the Rev. Max.
we'll P. Johnstone, an evangelist who
holds open-air meetings. was inter
rupted by several men who started to
mob the preacher. He was jostled
and pushed about and his makeshift
pulpit was kicked through the streets.
No one attempted to strike the minis
ter, however, and the police finally
rescued him.

Candidate VIII Not Contest.

The two highest candidates for the
senate in Lafayette will run over in a
second primary for the nomination,
without waiting for an official opinion
on the question submitted to the at
torney general. 1t will be recalled
that it was stated several days ago
that Mr.. Hightower, the plurality
candidate, was claiming the nomina-
tion on the ground that Lafay yette
county was senatorial district all by
itself and under the terms of the pri-
mary law, his plurality in the county
gave him the electoral vote of the
district. which just happens to be that
Of the county, thus nominating him.
1t now develops that Mr.. Hightower
does not intend to press this conten-
tion, but will run in the second pri-
mary with the next man on the ticket.

Lee County to Reclaim Lands.

The board of supervisors of Lee
county have decided to sell series of
ten-year 5 per cent bonds, aggregat-
ing $500. These bonds are authoriz-
ed by recent act of the legislature
providing that communities or dis
tricts possessing overfowed or swamp
lands may tax themselves for reclaim
ing such land, and bringing them into
cultivation. Tn the Lee county case
the district is known as the Upper
Chippewa Swamp Land District" en-
bracing large areas of the most fertile
lands, but entirely beyond reclama-
tion by private means. The denomi-
nations of the bonds range from $278
to 81 Ii, ten in number, one of which
is payable each year from date OF is
sue.

Dynamite in Jett's Cell.

Winchester. Ky.-Ths discovery of
two sticks of dynamite in the cell in
the CLARK county Jail. formerly occu-
pied by Curtis Jett, the convicted as
sassin of j. B. Marcum, of Breathitt
county, has given rise to a story of
plot to release Jett during the time be
was confined here awaiting trial. The
dynamite was found in a water pipe.
The quantity of the explosiFe was
sufficient to have blown the Jail to
atoms.

ishment. A Victory for the Defe nse.
State Has Asked That no Middle
Ground be Taken.
Cynthiana, Ky--Ths jury in the
case of Curtis Jett and Thomas White
charged with the assassination OF
James B. Marcum at Jackson, return
ed verdict of guilty, fixing the pun
irhmeEt of each at Imprisonment for
life.
Jet received the verdict with COM
paratiye Indifference and calmness.
White who has been apparently un-
der O severe strain during the trial
flushed up and his eyes filed with
tears.
Attorney Golden for the defense
stated that motion for new trial
will be made as soon as possible.
The general opinion seems to be
that the motion will be overruled by
the conrt and it will then go to the
court of appeals.
The verdict occasioned little sur
prise here after the deliberation of the
jury had been 80 prolonged. The only
question that caused the delay. it is
said, was that of punishment-death
or life imprisonment. The verdict on
the whole is regarded as victory for
the defense, as the prosecution asked
that no middle ground be taken and
that the men either go clear or be
hanged.
The case has been on trial almost
three weeks, having been begun July
81. At the first trial at jackson the
jury disagreed, and it is believed that
the verdict today was compromise
with juror opposed to capital pun
ishment. The friends of Captain B.
L. Even and other witnesses for the
commonwealth, who having suffered
greatly aud were living in fear of their
lives, are greatly relieved. They ex-
pected the death penalty, which they
.wers confident would have been fol-
lowed by confessions from the con-
demned men, exposing parties high in
authority in Breathitt county, who are
considered to be back of the conspir-
acies. There have been twenty-seven
lives lost within the past two years in
the Hargis Cookrill feud in Breathitt
ceonnly,-and this is the first cepEie= is
tion. No arrests or indictments had
been made until last March, when the
troops were ordered to Jackson to
jackson to protect the grand jury and
afterward the tfialjury and witnesses.
Jett is still under Indie 'ment for
first degree murder for killing Town
Marshal Cockrill. Jett said last night
that the rope had never been made
with which to hang him, but he made
no other remarks. His friends say he
will have new trial, and even if ne
fails in that effort he might be par
doned in the course of time. The
friends of the defen liant showed such
relief as to leave no Doubt as to their
previous apprehension of the death
penalty.
