SWETTENHAM IS
SEVERELY SCORED
The Kingston Daily Telegraph
Says Executive Has En-
tirely Lost His Head.
British Governor is Going Around the
City, Poking His Nose Into Petty
Details That His Subordinates
Should Attend to.

Kingston, Jamaica-The lack Of CO.
operation upon the part of the govern
ment is greatly hampering the work OF
extending relief, providing shelter for
the earthquake sufferers, pulling down
the unsafe walls and repairing the
damaged buildings, for which Governor
Swettenham is severely condemned.
The Daily Telegraph says:
His Excellency is still careering
around the city, poking his nose into
various corners and attend to petty
details which his subordinates ought
to attend to. The result is that when
prominent officials and other gentle-
men In charge of important work call
at Headquarters house to consult him
they cannot find the governor. There
is a total absence of deliberate, Or
ganized movement. This is state OF
affairs on which the British and Colo
NAL governments cannot congratulate
themselves.
IAN instance of the governors OBJ
structive measures is the enforcement
of the regulation forbidding the re-
erection of buildings, even wooden
shacks, without the city surveyors ap-
proyaI of the plans, which is causing
great delay and dissatisfaction. The
general opinion is that the governor
has completely lost his head and IL
utterly unequal to the task of meeting
the emergency"

CHAPTER XXI.
The Dropping of a Cloak.

And SO, with the mounted guard of
his own Cossacks before him and be-
hind, Prince Ivan carried his bride to
church through the streets of her ma
tive city.
The great doors of the cathedral had
been thrown wide open and the leath-
ern curtain withdrawn. The altar
candles and the lamps a-swing in the
choir winked no brighter than yellow
willow leaves seen through an autumn
nal fog. But as the cortege dismount-
ed the organ began to roll, and the
people within rose with a hush like
that which follows the opening OF
window at night above the Ala.
The sonorous diapason of the great
instrument disgorged itself through
the doorway in wave after wave OF
sound. The Princess Margaret found
herself again on her feet, upheld on
either side by brother and lover. She
was at first somewhat dazed with the
rush of accumulate disasters. Slowly
her mind came back.
Maurice-where was Maurice? She
turned about. The small, glittering
eyes of Prince Ivan, black as sloes,
were looking into hers. She remem-
bered now. 1t was her own wedding.
These two, her brother and her enemy,
were carrying out their threat. They
had brought her to the cathedral to
wed her, against her will. to the man
she hated. But they could not. she

1t appears from the information at

pecting to clear the main ira X in
time to let the extra pass, but he
failed in his calculations. The ex-
