TAFT's MANAGER IsH new STYLE POLITICIAN

"a Taft's manager comes from dem
ocratic stock. In fact he is the only
republican In the family. He ex
plains this by saying that he inner
tied his political opinions from his
mother, who was a Webb.
Vorys never met Taft until 1905
and has but little acquaintance with
politicians of note. When Foraker
and the secretary's brother got into
each others hair, cake" was ex
pected to give oui a sizzling state
ment. Things look bright for the
secretary" was all he had to say.
This is the only interview he hal
given out since he became Taft's
manager, 3 months ago.

you and Garfield Confirmed.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Goaded by
frequent Interruptions from Senator
Tillman, the speech Of Senator
Spooner In the senate Tuesday on the
resolution for the investigation Of the
affray at Brownsville was changed
from a constitutional argument in de-
fense of President Roosevelt's course
in discharging negro battalion of
the army to severe arraignment of
the South Carolina senator. He
quoted from Mr.. Tillman's utterances
defending lynching as a means Of con-
trolling negroes, and said that to en-
courage such mob violence was a dis
grace to civilization. Mr.. Tillman
was not permitted to reply, but at the
conclusion of Mr.. Spooner's attack
declared that at an early date he
would take occasion to defend himself
against 'the insulting illusions made
to him"
The bitter feeling provoked by the
controversy between the senators
makes it impossible to say when a
vote can be had on the resolution. 1t
is expected debate will not be extend
ed. Senator Spooner took the position
that article of the articles of war
gives the commander-in-chief OF the
army the power to dismiss the troops
in the manner employed. He referred
to the ARRAY at Walla Walla, Wash.
during President Cleveland's adminis
tration and said that the investiga
ton of that disturbance resulted in a
recommendation that the four com
panies involved be dismissed.
While the senate was in executive
session, the nominations of Messrs
Cortelyou and Garfield were con,
firmed without encountering further
opposition. The nomination of George
Won l.. Meyer to be postmaster gen
eral was also confirmed, as was that
of Herbert Knox Smith to be commits

nominations, except that of Mr. Smith

Stricken City of Kingston
Has Suffered Many Disasters

The stricken city of Kingston Is
situated on the south coast OF the
Island of Jamaica and on the north
side of a fine harbor. The latter is
a land locked basin available for the
largest ships, and is enclosed on the
south by a long tongue of ianI, and
at the extremity of which is Port
Royal.
The only volcanic formation in the
island is that at the L"wlaytol and
Retreat estates in the parish of Port
land, mile from the sea in the coun'
ty of Surrey, in which Kingston is sit
uated. There is, however, no active
crater, and the volcanic materials are
the only evidences remaining. The
coast formation of Surrey is of white
and yellow limestones and the great
er part of the country is very noun
tai1ous.
Rs Previous Disasters There.
In August, 1901, Jamaica was swept
by hurricane, which almost destroy
ed her and caused iamagss amounting
to $10,0O0,0O0. Thousands of houses
in Kingston were damaged, the
wharves were battered, aud several
coasting vessels were sunk.
On Nov. 13 last sharp earthquake
was felt in the south aud north of the
island 1t was followed Immediately

this catastrophe which led to the
founding of Kingston, many of thg
survivors removing to where Kings

maica in 1916. The whole island was
damaged, hundreds of houses were
washed away, vessels were wrecked
and about 1000 persons were drown
ed.
Kingston Is laid out with regular
and wide streets. The better class OF
houses are neatly built, with wide
verandas and surrounded by hand
some gardens. Street cars run to the
suburbs, and two lines of railway

and eastern parts OF the island.

What 1t Means to Ride Second Glass OF

What 1t Means to Ride Second Glass on
the Railroads.
a delusion of the gujdebooks is the
advice to ride second class on the rail-
roads of Europe 1t is often pointed
out that first class and second class are
frequently but divisions Of the same
car, and this makes a great impression
on the inexperienced traveller, particu-
larly If his purse is limited Landing
at Plymouth, Southampton, Havre,
Cherbourg, Liverpool, you are at once
conveyed to London OF Paris on Steam
er trains" under the same excellent
conditions that have prevailed on your
trip, but thereafter you are at your
own resources, and If you are wise you
will not only travel first class, but you
will see to 1t that your seat Is always
engaged well ahead. If you travel Sec
Ond class between cities that CORE
spond to New York and Philadelphia,
say where intercourse is frequent and
numerous, you will most likely have
to stand up in all second class com
partments To get a second class seat
between Vienna and Budapest, for ex-
ample, is about like boarding train
for Coney Island at Brooklyn bridge on
a summer Sunday afternoon, and If
you do get a seat somebody else sand
witches and sausages on your lap.
Another point to be remembered Is
that In Europe you cannot engage a
whole sleeping compartment for your
self, as you can here You have to
show ticket for each berth. There

alone at night to seek out before ar
