they run into a cleavage from the

their discovery, The locators of

Thursday of this week under the
able direction of Prof. w. King

by people from various parts
of the valley. Those who
were present were highly appre-
ciative of the excellent manner in
which the opera was rendered

possesses, but of the hard labor

New York Court Examining TaIesmen
 In Effort to Secure Jury.
 New York, Jan. 23.-The trial of Harry K. Thaw for killing Stanford White commenced before Justice Fitz- gerald in the criminal branch of the supreme court Two hundred tales men had been summoned, and from that lot the twelve men "good and true" are being selected who will say finally whether or not Thaw commit ted a crime when he killed Stanford White
 In an interview the Countess of Tar mouth, Thaw's sister. Is reported as saying that he was justified in shoot ing White and that he avenged deep wrongs by his action.
 So far as known emotional insanity will be the defense. 1t will be al legged that at the time of the killing Thaw was not of right mind, but la- boring under a nervous strain that temporarily unbalanced him. 1t will also be asserted, in order to save Thaw from an asylum for criminal insane that since the killing his mind has be. come normal.
 If such proves to be the defense, MT Jerome and his assistant, MT. Garvan will insist that Thaw was sane when he killed White and has been sane ever since

 and the nation on this subject The newspapers are almost unanimous in condemning Governor Swetterham.
 Residents Want Governor to Quit.
 Governor Swettenham's attitude to- ward friendly American officers as sistance is greatly deplored by many of the residents of Kingston, some of them even suggesting that the govern or be petitioned to resign. His action is construed by some as inspired by re- sentiment of President RoosexAlt's atti- tude toward Jamaican negroes on the Panama canal. Others r;dicule the governors objection to the landing Of American sailors armed or not armed. The insecurity of the city Is evidenced by the attempt on Friday night by six negroes to waylay midshipman from the Missouri, who drew his revolver and put his assailants to flight.
 The streets of the burned district still reek with the stench of decaying bod ies. The burned ruins were illuminat- ed only by the baleful glow of the corpse fires lining the roadways.
 Clearing Up Kinsston's Streets.
 The work of clearing the streets of Kingston of debris and recovering the corpses of the victims of the earth quake and confiagration is proceeding rapidly.
 The southwestern portion of Kings ton looks exactly as did St. Pierre aft CT the eruption of Mont Pclee.
 Fully 1000 persons have been maim- ed for life, their legs or arms having been amputated, and those who sus- tained lesser wounds are counted by the thousands.
 On the whole, the conduct of the pop ulace has been admirable. There have been only a few attempts at footing, and these have been confined to rum shops and provision stores.
 Many bodies are recovered through the aid of the vultures, which perch in flocks on the ruins beneath which their prey is buried. As fast as they are un- covered the bodies are thrown on the funeral pyres and slowly consumed.
 The total known dead is about 45O, and 1t is believed there are at least 250 persons who have not been accounted for.
 City Fears Famine.
 Food is coming into the city from the country districts, but famine is great ly feared.
 The filthy condition of the camps on the parade grounds and race course, where thousands of persons are hud- dled under irnprovised tents roofed over and sheathed with palm leaves, causes grave apprehension of m out break of typhoid fever.
 At present there is a most urgent need for tents for several thousand persons, but the government Is not supplied with these and is not making endeavors to obtain them. Rain is now and if it should come 1t will involve untold suffering to home less thousands.
 The business section of the city has been wiped out, and the estimates of damage range from $1O,OOO,OOo to $25,- 100000
 The citizens of Kingston are greatly discouraged. The fear is growing that in view of the enormity of the disaster there is scarcely a score of houses capable of restoration-the rebuilding of the city will prove impossible.
 Among the dead and injured are Q number of prominent English persons. Several Americans are recorded to be missing, and 1t is said that many tour
 A-V ing walls in the shopping district.
