"The report that Southern railway

Ished - steamers Driven Ashore and
Great Loss Of Life Feared-Blany
Villages Swept Away.

Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. 13.-The
effects Of the hurricane upon the Is
land Of Jamaica were greater than at
first believed. Port Antonio, on the
north coast, was completely over
whelmed. Only six houses were left
standing there. The United Fruit
company's wharves, Offices, hotel and
plantations were utterly demolished.
Five of the company's steamers. in
Guiding the Simon Dunois, Alfred Du-
nois and Brighton, were driven
ashore, but are lying In easy posi-
tions. Port Maria, another town on
the north coast, also suffered SINH
larly. The coast is strewn with
wreckage of local sailing vessels. 1t
is feared that the loss of life has been
heavy, go fatalities having already
been reported, principally among sea-
men. The entire eastern end OF tho
island has beeen devastated. Villages
have been wiped out and public build
ings and churches. Thousands OF the
peasantry, rendered homeless and des'
titute, are wandering about seeking
food and shelter. The destruction OF
the banana plantations has been COM
plete and the fruit trade Is paralyzed
for the next ~ 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. New ba-
mana plantations planted there were
rartly destroyed and the orange and
coffee crops were also injured.
The Norwegian steamer Salvatore
di Giorgii, was driven ashore at An
notta bay and lies in a dangerous po-
sition. Several sailing vessels were
wrecked on the north side. 1t is still
stormy and threatening and there are
fears that there may be a renewal OF
the storm. Thousands of houses IN
Kingston were damaged, the wharves
we're battered and several coasting
vessels were sunk in the harbor'

cause Of the trouble. The sufferers

OKLAHOMA STATEHOOD.
Facts and Figures Advanced Why the Ter

New York, Aug. 1.-THE New York
Evening Post says editorially: A
number of meetings have recently
been held in Oklahoma preparatory to
q new campaign In congress for ad-
mission as q state. The most popular
plan carries with It the Joining OF the
indian territory with Oklahoma and
the formation Of o single common
wealth out Of the two. Oklahoma
alone has q population Of 100000. six
cities with from 10000 to 10000 in
habItants each, and q considerable
number of towns and villages with a
population Of from 1000 to 5000. The
territory has 1856 banks, with cash de-
posits aggregating $25.0O0,000 and the
tax valuation, admittedly far below
actual market prices, amounts to more
than 100000 Oklahoma is essss'
TALLY agricultural, producing wheat,
corn and oats in abundance. In the
last three years her total output OF
farming products has increased 81
DER cent. The wheat yield last year
was 100000 bushels and Of corn
there was produced 100000 bushels
The case for the admission Of such
a state is obviously strong. The
right Of the inhabitants to have the
state government which they so great
ly desire cannot be much longer de-
