AT, the State Department tonight It
was stated that SO. far as this govern
ment is concerned. the matter will be
allowed to. drop, the departments position
being that the action of one man in a
distant colony. at a time of great dis
tress and mental anguish, should not be
the means of raising an unpleasant issue
with a great and friendly nation.
Officials of the National Red Cross So
ciety in this city do not believe that the
jamaican authorities will refuse to ac-
cept the supplies which have been sent
by this society to that island for the
relief of the earthquake sufferers on ac-
count of the correspondence between tho
Governor of Jamaica and Admiral Davis
At least, no such intimation has thus
far been given the society.

for moment that city of such thrift
and enterprise as Richmond now is
would let pass this opportunity to pro-

there are movements in several cities
Just now for suitable buildings for the
Young Mems Christian Associate Tho
full and abundant success of your Rich

encourage our other Virginia cities. and.
on the contrary, any delay or difficulty
in carrying out your plans would Ger

Several railroads have complained Of
