Kingston, the picturesque capital
Of the Island of Jamaica, was devast-
ated by a violent earthquake last
week.
The details of the disaster are lack
ing as direct communication with the
stricken city has been slow.
From meager reports received from
such channels as are open it has been
learned that many of the most i'm
portant buildings were destroyed and
there has been great loss of life.
AS far as the reports indicate the
fatalities number into the thousands
and the hospitals are filled with the
injured.
Kingston and other points of inter-
est on the island are at this season
thronged with tourists from both
America and England.

sprung from the wreckage to carry
on the work of destruction.
Myrtle Bank hotel, the principal
hotel of Kingston, which probably
sheltered the great bulk of visitors
on the island, is destroyed.
The great military hospital was
burned, and many soldiers are dead.
The extent of the destruction,
which has been wrought in Kingston,
a city which already bears scars of
number OF disastrous visitations of
fire, earthquake and cyclone in years
gone by, is still left largely in imag-
nation.
The city is one of low-lying build
ings, clustered along the shores of one
OF the finest, most securely handbook
ed harbors in the West Indies.
The population of $4,000 is largely
made up of native blacks.

st. Thomas, d. w. l., January 16.-
The latest advices received here from
Jamaica declare that all people have
been warned to keep away from Kings
ton. The stencil there is described as
awful. There is no fodder for animals
and famine is imminent.
Money is useless. The banks have
been burned, but the vaults are sup
posed to be safe.
The misery on all sides is indescrib-
able. Rich and poor alike are home
less.
Provisions of all kinds are urgently
needed.
1t is impossible to say where any
body can be found.
The loss of life is very great, but
the exact number is not yet known.
The dead are being buried under
smoldering ruins.
The mercantile community suffered
most severely, warehouses falling up
on them.
Many professional men are dead and
injured.
The negroes are looting. Ghastly
scenes are being witnessed.
All the shops have been destroy
ed, and all the buildings in and
around Kingston are in ruins. Very
few of them are safe to live in.
No news has yet been received from
other parts of the Island of Jamaica,
communication being very difficult.
New York, Jan. 1.-THE shores Of
the harbor of Kingston are sinking

COTTON IN THE FAR EAST.

Prof. Ii. p. Hnlburt says the jap
anese are absorbing lands in South
ern Corea for the purpose of growing
cotton in that part Of the world. The
japanese are intelligent, and they are
not entering upon cotton growing
contest with nature arrayed solidly
against them. They see at least
probability Of success, and possibly
experiments have demonstrated the
feasibility Of the scheme. Corea
reaches southwark to the thirty-fourth
degree of latitude, which is just about
the latitude Of Birmingham and Gen.
trail Alabama. There seems, therefore,
to be no climatic reason why cotton
cannct be grown in Corca. 1t is free
ly grown in China, but all Of the
Chinese product is consumed at home.
All that Japan lacks in order to
control the cotton trade of the Far
East is an ample homegrown supply
of raw cotton. She can spin a,,9
weave it cheaper than we can, because
labor is lower-priced than it is here
or in England or on the continent.
She is, too, near untold millions Of
consnrlers--at least 4O0,OOO.OOO. She
has mills, and she has the ambition
to build more, and all she lacks TODAY
is the staple itself.
If cotton can be grown in Southern
Corea, the japanese will assuredly)
grow it, and she may therefore wrest
from us the entire cotton goods trade
Of the Far East before we can dig the
canal. This, however, is one of the
ups and downs Of this world, and if
we cannot sell goods in the Far East
we can certainly sell them in South
America and in some of the isles Of
the seas. American cotton is still in
the ring.

fered for sale the numerous products
OF farm, orchard and garden. And the
farmers are assisting each other in q
way that insures success to the entire
community. They are helping to bear
one another's burdens.
Lopez island is one Of the divisions
OF San Juan county. It is an ideal
land of dairies, farms and orchards.
Every variety of fruits and vegeta-
bles produced in the Puget sound ba-
sin grow in profusion on the island.
The surplus is shipped to Seattle for
3 market. In order that the best
prices may be obtained, the farmers
are united for the common interest
of all concerned. The telephone is
the beginning Of concerted action
along all the lines of disposing Of
farm produce and the purchasing of
manufactured articles. It marks an
important era in the industries Of the
island. And those farmers have set
good example for other agricultural
communities to follow in the work of
co-operation.-Post Irtelligencer.

It is universal knowledge that the
officers Of three of the largest in

tees Of "high finance" to the Wall

for private gain. Not even one Of

The few men that automatically
control the railroads of the country
have brazenly violated law and
equity, have treated the public with
defiant insolence, and have MAIN
tanned lobbies to corrupt State legis-
latures and Congresses. Yet the rail-
roads owe their very existence to spe-
cial privileges granted by the people;
and every dollar used to build, to
equip and to operate the roads has
been furnished by the people, direct
ly or Indirectly.
These same railroad autocrals hav4
"won" hundreds of millions Of dol
lars by juggling railroad stocks in

these hundreds Of millions of fat

American people will do the paying

in fact for extortionate charges. A

BY the judicious use of a small
percentage Of this special privilege

There is no more bitter sarcasm
nor mocking humor than the tariff
benefciaries' plea that the "protec4
