KINGSTON IN WOE.
Desolated Jamaican City May Never
BE Rebuilt.

Slowly the conviction Is forcing it.
self even upon Jamaicans that Kings
ton will never be rebuilt Except that
the streets have been cleared Of debris,
the city lies to-day in practically the
condition that the earthquake left it.
A few plank buildings have been erect
ed to accommodate certain lines Of busi-
ness, but they are of light, rude con-
struction and can not be regarded as
otherwise than temporary. Nowhere Is
there sign that any Of the substantial
structures are to be rebuilt.
There Is no money In the island. Not
a man in Kingston but suffered and
most men lost their all. The insur-
ance companies without exception have
refused to pay any earthquake claims,
and investors of all nations are giving
the island a wide berth. This stand
of the insurance companies has result
ed in an epidemic of incendiary fires.
Many owners Of property damaged by
quake and fire, made desperate by their
failure to collect insurance indemnities,
fired their buildings that they might be
completely destroyed to enable them
to make a claim for fire damages not
connected with the earthquake

The Northwestern and st. Paul roads
will not have TO pay Wisconsin license
fees due prior to Feb. /, 1899. The
Wisconsin Supreme Court decided that
the statute of limitations bars such col

The Interstate Commerce Commission
has announced the appointment of
board of experts to supervise and conduct
experimental tests of block signal syS-
TENS and other safety devices as provided
for by the joint resolution of Congress.
The officers of the Southern Railway
have appealed to the United States Cir
cult Court in North Carolina for an in
junction restraining the Legislature Of
that State and the Virginia corporation
commission from putting into effect the
reduced passenger rate of cents a mile.
This is the first instance in which the
legal questions involved in the reduced
rate laws have been brought before high
federal tribunal and will probably be
the first to reach the Supreme Court for
final adjudication.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has reafirmed the right of interstate rail
roads to operate separate passenger cars
for negroes, provided that accommoda
tions be offered them equal TO those in
tended for the whites of the same class.
Commissioner Lane says that the rea-
sonablcness of regulations to segregate
white and colored passengers is estab-
Iished, but that it does not follow that
carriers may discriminate as to accom-
modations The decision requires that
whare a line is providing wash bowl and
towels for first-class white passengers 1t
must give the same conveniences to first
class colored passengers The complaint
was made by Georgia Edwards against
the Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis.

sension and Bickcrings.
Telegrams from Seoul, Korea, state
that intriguCS on an extensive scale are
now in progress. 1t is declared that
the palace is a hotbed of illicit plots
and conspiraces. The placing on the
throne of the new Emperor has aggra-
waited the jealousy between his mother,
Princess Ming, and the mother of
Prince Wing, each having a large follow
ing. This state of affairs is being taken
advantage of by politicians, who are
distrustful of one another DisaffectiOn
is spreading rapidly and riotings of the
people throughout the peninsula are eX-
pected.
The crisis provoked by the enforced
abdicatiOn of the Emperor Is still full
OF menace. The two government arsen-
ais are guarded by Japanese soldiers,
although the number is not large. They
are under orders to explode the maya
zines II they find themselves unable to
defend them.
The Korean troops are frequently
harangued by civilian agitatOrs who
take up their stand at the entrances to
the barracks. The Koreans possess
$1,000 rounds of ammunition, Of which
General Hasegawa who has only $500
Japanese troops in Seoul, has been un-
able to demand the surrender.
Two disturbing factors are, first, the
enigmatfcal presence in Seoul Of Jap
anese Foreign Minister Hayashi, whose
mission is believed by the people to be
the abduction of the former Emperor
and his removal to Japan. Second,
domicilary contact with the new Enpe-
ror and control and manipulation of the
throne by the ex-Emperor.
Japan's demands on the new Empe-
ror probably will include the revision
Of the Japanese-Korean treaty or new
Korean constitution. In either case the
power OF the japanese resident-general
would be so extended that he can in
tervene in kOreas internal administra-
ton, including the judiciary.
The demand also will be made that
the court be distinguished from the ad-
ministration, making COM rsion between
the two impossible.
Another plan is to give the resident
general direct control of all depart
ments and make the cabinet responsible
to him, the Emperor retaining the pow
er of formal veto. In any case the
Korean military system will be aban-
dOned.
At the suggestion of Marquis Ito the
various consulates have accepted Jap
anese guards.

the prison, Majors entered Wad-
dell's open cell and began MUIR
derous assault upon him. The
guards interfered.
Majors came into notice in 1889
by committing a robbery at Og-
den. Captain Brown Of the juno
ton City police force gained a
clew Of his whereabouts and, with
an armed force, took up the chase
The chase led into Boxelder coun-
| ty and "Abe e" brother was shot
in it. A few minutes after Ma
jors's brother was killed "Abe"
shot and killed Captain Brown.
Majors was captured tried and
given death sentence. He got a
second trial through his mother
and was given a life sentence.
Majors recently led an attempt
at escape that failed. He was
knocked from the prison wall
while trying to get over. His
mother, an aged and broken
hearted woman. has been trying
to get her son pardoned, but she
is not likely to have her desire
fulfilled on account of his con-
duet.
Waddell is serving twenty
year sentence for burglary, CON-
mitted at Ogden about six years
ago. His chance to recover was
said to be favorable late Tuesday
night.

for powder. The powder is kept
in bags Of fifty pounds each,
four bags, to a case, and the steel
cases are tightly fastened with
nuts and bolts. Four bags Of
powder are required for one
charge for the big thirteen inch
guns. BY the way, it would seem
much more appropriate to an un-
enlightened observer to call these
guns thirteen yard guns. so far
as size goes. All the power used
is smokeless and we saw some
small sticks of it that looked like
transparent yellow cough candy.
The powder smells overpowering-
ly Of ether. Bags of wood of the
same size as the powder bags are
used in practice firing. In anoth-
err small room near by are kept
rows of bullets for the thirteen
inch guns. These are immense
things, fully three feet long, and
fit into the large cases holding the
two hundred pounds of powder.
There were two hundred and
forty of these on board. Down
here are also derricks and shafts
for raising the ammunition to the
men who are loading the guns.
These are sent up by system Of
chains and cogs. Those for the
thirteen inch guns are in the Gen.
ter at the bottom of the turret
and those for the smaller guns
are along the sides Of the ship.
The bullets that are called small
and are used in the six inch
guns weigh one hundred pounds
each. AT this time there were
twenty-four hundred of these on
board. All of these bullets ex-
plode like torpedoes when they
strike after having been fred.
Electric Potato Parer.
"The main engine of the ship
has a capacity of ten thousand
horse power. All the electricity
is, of course. made on the ship,
and the Dynamo room is really
beautiful and interesting. 1t is
lighted by pale green lights.
Three hundred and seventy-fve
horse power is generated. This
electricity is used for a variety of
purposes besides lighting; for in
stance, all the guns are worked
by electricity and so is the steer
ing mechanism. Even the potatoes
for the mems dinner are pared by
electricity. One of these machine
will pare bushel Of potatoes in
minute, and this is none too
quick. to judge by the size of the
bins of potatoes which we saw
portioned out for the next days

fully six feet square. There were
other bins of like size filled with
other vegetables. The icecream IL

with it. The Stadometer, like the
Sex'ant, has q scale of miles an,
a pointer, and a system of con-
cave mirrors by whose reflections
the ships distance from an OBJ
ject can be determined. The
Chronometer is also of great i'm
portance, as it gives the correct
time. When ship is in port,
this is frequently compared with
the Observatory time at Washing
ton. We saw the large charts by
which ship steers her course.
Every lighthouse and every small
buoy is marked on these and the
depth Of the water at a distance
Of every few feet is also given.
"On deck ave saw the steering
compasses, for there were several
of them quite near each Other.
Near these was a glass covered

also the searchlights. which

ships bell was interesting to see.

Much Silver.
"The silver service used by the
officers was presented to them by
the State of Illinois, as is Gus
tomary when battleship is NAM
ed for a state or city. This is
solid silver and exceptionally
beautiful and heavy. There are
ever so many pieces, including
beautiful candellabra and punch
bowls. AS we were party from
Idaho, we Immediately thought of
the fact that the new Battleship

and as Idaho is a great silver
producing state, we all agreed
that we were sure this ship will
receive one of the most beautiful
and valuable sets ever presente,'
and also that ii will be specially
made from native silver.
"The captains quarters on a
battleship are surprisingly spa
cious and beautiful. He has a
reception room the size of large
hotel parlor, several small recep-
ton rooms, private offices, a Ii
brary, a smoking room and so on.
All are beautifully furnished,
equalling in every respect the
most expensive hotels in the
country.
