USUAL JAMAICA QUh.KES

Felix In New England.

Boston. Jan. 15.--Dr. George II.
Bridgtnan of Eliza beth, y. j.. who re-
linouished his post as American con-
sui al Kingston. Jamaica. and arrived
from that city on the steamer Admiral
Dewey yesterday, stated tonight that
the consulate is at present in charge

try. but a resident OF Jamaica for many
years The office has two secretaries.
both Jamaicans. so that at present
there are no Americans connected with
the office. Dr.. BridSnan's family is in
Italy.
DR.. Bridgman said tonight that there
were perhaps 100 Americans residing
in Kingston in addition to the tourists
who visit the city at this time of the
year When he left on Jan. the tour
list season had been a poor one and
there were at that time less than so in
the city. Last year the city was
crowded during the month of January.
Speaking of earthquakes. DR.. Bridg-
man said that three slight shocks We're

there were no greater than those some

IT'S SEC, OF TREAS. CoRTELYOU.
Senator's Bacon and Spooner Fail
to Agree on Rights and Privi-
leges OF the President.
BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR.

washington, Jan Ex-senator
Spooner in the Senate today resumed
his discussion of the Brownsville reso-
luton. He said he agreed that II IS
for Congress to determine the oath OK
enlistment Of land and sea forces. the
duration of term, the method OF pun
ishment and many other regulations
for the government of the soldiers but
he could not agree that the comman-
der in chief is in time of peace or war
under the supreme control of Congress.
The constitution made the President
the commander chief Of the army
without defining his functions declared
Mr.. Spooner.
Il never heard until yesterday" said
Mr.. Spooner, that the President had
not the power of sending forces where
he chose. 1 never heard that that was
not a part of the power of command.
until this was proclaimed yesterday by
the senator from Georgia, (Mr. Bacon).
Contending that Mr.. Bacon's theory
that Congress had supreme control
over the army and navy and Of the
communicative chief, is the most dam
gerous proposition that could be ad-
vanced, Mr.. Spooner again brought the
He read from decision In the
Swayne case in the court of claims
that Congress may reduce or abolish
the military forces but so long as there
is a force the commander in chief Is
supreme. This decision set forth the
view that the powers of Congress and
the powers of the commanderi in chief,
are supreme and that one cannot en-
croach upon the power of the other.
Mr.. Bacon insisted that there could
be no more dangerous proposition
than that the great power of the army
and navy should be lodged in the will
of one man. and the two senators came
into direct and positive conflict on this
point.
Mr.. Spooner declared that Mr.. Ba-
cons position was in utter disregard
of the constitution itself; that, absolute
power has to be- lodged in the govern
ment somewhere and in the case under
discussion this absolute power had
been divided between the President and
Congress. He said the question of
whether the 167 negro soldiers had
been discharged from the army by an
order not in accordance with the Presi-
dents constitutional authority could
be tested any day. These men may go
into the court Of claims and sue for
their pay and there test the constitu-
tionality of their discharges.
Messrs. Spooner and Bacon agreed
that there are statutory provisions au-
thorizir3 the President to take the
course he did.
IF the President abuses his privi-
| lege," said Mr.. Spooner. IF he violates
/ his oath of Office, this is not the place
to question his course. The method
for his punishment Is provided for
| through the other end Of the Capitol"

times felt in New England and We're
not regarded with any apprehension.
The island is usually looked upon as
being outside the earthquake belt of
the West Indies and is of limestone
formation rather than of volcanic
origin. Referring to the city of King
ston DR.. BridgTnan said that the build
ings We're nearly all of wood and of a
character that would be easily pros
trated by any severe series of shocks.
Most of the business section is on
Harbor street at the head Of which at
the east end is the Myrtle Bank The
prevailing direction of the wind at this
season of the year is from the north
east, the island being in the zone OF
the northeast trade winds. If a fire
started in the section near the Myrtle
Bank it would probably sweep the en-
tire water front as well as Harbor
street. which would practically destroy
the entire business section. Nearly all
the private residences are outside of
the city to the north and are built Of
limestone. A fire on the east side of
the city during this season of the year
where the trade winds are very strong
has been dreaded for many years. DR..
Eridgman has been in Kingston for
four years and resigned during the fall.

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.

Washington, Jan. 15.-After 4 fight
which lasted all day and extended to
the floor OF tie House threatening to
bring about mucn filibustering on time
the House committee on merchant mar
inc end fisheries finally decided at 6
O'Clock P. NJ. by vote of to I to
make favorable report on ship sub
sidy bill prepared by Rep. Littauer Of
New York as u substitute for the
Grosvenor bill, which has been under
discussion fer many weeks.
The members Of the committee who
supported the measure were Grosvcnor
Miner. Littlefield, Fordncy. Wacilter,
Humphrey. Watson and Litteaur. all
Republicans.
The negative votes were east by
Birdsall, Wilson and Hinshaw, Repub-
licans and Goulden. Maynard, Sherley,
and Patterson, Democrats.
Only two changes We're made by the
committee in the bill as originally
drawn by Mr.. Litteaur. Instead of ac-
tually fixing San Francisco and the
Puget Sound as the points of departure
of the two lines to Japon, China and
the Philippines, the committee amend
ed the bill so that enc of the lines is to
start from Il point north of Cape Men
docino and the other from point south
of Cape Mendocino.
At the morning session Of the COM
mittee the Senate ship subsidy bill,
which carried a tonnage subsidy and is
said to be extremely distastefui to
Speaker Cannon. was laid before the
committee by Mr.. Litteaur, and sew
eral Democrats voted for it. Republic
cans changed their votes in order to
defeat it. and get a compromise bill
under consideration which it was
thought would have a better chance
with the Republican House leaders.
TIE committee adjourned to meet
again at O'Clock, and. when an at
tempt was made to have the House ad-
jUurn at that time the Democrats be-
gan Il filibuster in an attempt to keep
the House in session, thus preventing
the merchant marine and fisheries COM
mittee from meeting and reaching an
agreement. The minority leader, Mr..
Williams. demanded tellerS and ayes
and nays on the adjournment vote but
a count showed that a quorum was not
present and the House adjourned by a
vote of l43 to a.
This substitute provides for naval
reserve fitct along the lines of the
Senate bill.
The bill requires that all ships be Of
1G-knot speed, except that from the
gull To Colon. which is to be IA knots.
1t requires that the ships he built in
America and owned by Americans and
repaired in American dry docks and
that they shall be available as auXii-
larry cruisers in time Of war. To meet
the requirements of the bill about 81
ships would be required. And most Of
these would have to be built. it will
require four years to build the ships.
With fortnightly service establish
cd, this being provided in the bill, the
line to Rio will receive S600,00 annual
| ly; to Buenos Ayres 100000; The West
Coast Line. 100000; the two Oriental
Lines, 500, 600: the Colon Line. $500, 900.

COOPERATION IN COAL.
Independent Mines Are to Supply the
Consumers.

Ashland.-The successful operation
of the Northwestern Cooperative
Coal & Dock company and the start
ing of the work here in the con-
struction of a modern coal dock has
aroused a great deal of interest
throughout the northwest, for this is
the first time in the history of this
northwestern region that an effort
has thus been made to supply coal
consumers on cooperative basis with
coal direct from independent mines
in the east. The movement was de-
signed originally for the Farmers Co
operative companies Of the north
west, but as under the terms of the
organization no person can secure
coal except the stockholders, many
other coal consumers who have be-
come incensed at the arbitrary die
tation of the coal trust have become
members of the company.
Under the plan of organization the
six northwestern states, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, North and South Dakota,
Iowa and Nebraska are each to have
one director, and the first annual
meeting for this purpose is to be held
in Ashland in June, at which time ex-
cursions are to run from various
points in the northwest to this city.
The company is organized to secure
for it's stockholders coal bought direct
at independent mines in the east,
taken to Ashland on the great lakes
on boats chartered by the. company
and unloaded on the company's own
docks at Ashland, thus taking coal
direct from the mine to the stock
holders of the company, without the
Intervention of any organized monop-
oily, wholesaler, jobber or retailer.

LOCKED UP IN HIS OWN JAIL.
Jailer of Newport, KY, Caught in Raid
on Crap Game.

Cincinnati.-As a result of anti
gambling agitation in Newport, KY,
a peculiar situation has developed in
connection with numerous arrests.
Saturday night Chief Lickert, assisted
by nearly every member of the police
force, raided crap game almost OPP
posite police headquarters. The pro-
prietor and about % well known citi-
zens were caught, several of whom
claimed to be only spectators, and
every cell in the Jail was crowded. 1t
was long after midnight before the
last Of the prisoners succeeded in Sc
curing bond and was released.
City Jailer Ben PlOeger was among
those captured and he experienced the
unusual sensation of being locked up

so that he could in turn officially re-
lease the others as fast as bond
was offered
