 WASHINGTON, Jan. II. Admiral Evans, commanding the Atlantic fleet. has sailed from Guantanamo, Cuba, on the torpedo boat destroyer Whipple for Kingston, Jamaica, with the war ships Missouri and Indiana, to ascer- tain conditions and extend such aid as may be necessary to the stricken city.
 < The supply ships Celtic and Glacier. which are now attached to the Allan tic fleet and which are fully provision ed, have been ordered to proceed with Ill haste to Kingston, where their car goes of food will be distributed among The needy.
 A St. Thomas Danish West Indies) dispatch says that cables received from Jamaica report 1000 persons Killed by the earthquake and fire and that 9O,O0O persons are homeless. The damage to Kingston alone is placed at fully $1O,0OO.OOO.
 , The report declares that all people have been warned to keep away from Kingston. The stench there is describ- cd as awful. There is no fodder for animals, and famine is imminent. Money is useless. The banks have been burned, but the vaults are sup posed to be safe. The misery on all aides Is indescribable. Rich and poor alike are homeless. Provisions of all kinds are urgently needed. All the shops have been destroyed, and all the buildings in and around Kingston are in ruins. Very few only are safe to live in.
 It is reported that an extinct volcano in tlse parish of Portland is showing signs of activity.
 The devastation would appear to have been confined to the vicinity of Kingston, one dispatch giving ten miles as the radius of damage. The rest of the island, including Port An stonio, does not seem to have suffered severely.
 The estimates of dead range from 100 to 1000, but with the exception of Sir James Ferguson and perhaps half a dozen other white men there is no mention of fatalities to foreigners. The American tourists who were at King ston at the time, estimated at about

They do not take up much room. as they stand from four 10 five feet high and they prove the most desirable of reposi- tories for wells, gloves. handkerchiefs and collars. A variation of the famil- lar ch;ffonier style here shown is the one illustrated. with doors and con taining five sliding trays for dress accessories of all sorts. Cabinets of this sort are fitted up for shoes. and likewise as receptacles for hats. the latter being equipped with shelves and movable pegs. This development of the cabinet Is a foreign Idea, but the cretonne and enamel chifonier has been . favorite here for some time.

BOOM FOR SENATOR DANIEL.

II HERE is a desperate effort to arouse Nir-
\ ginians to political action and to stir the
old Dominion into taking the lead in the effort
of the so-called Conservatives towards controll-
ing the next Democratic national convention. The
so-called conservative-and we could never fancy
why the name was fastened to them-are work
ing in both parties to obtain control and secure
candidates for the Presidential nominations who
would not be inimicable to them. And we be-
lieve that the men they really think are hostile
10 them not so hostile as they imagine. No
sane man elected to the Presidential chair by
either party is going to wreck railroads, destroy
commerce, change laws, throw business into ruin
and annihilate the prosperity of our country. The
American nation is not made up Of fools or
anarchists. The so-called conservatives so long
dominated the country that they cannot realize
the change that has come in the management of
affairs. They do not understand the awakening
OF the public conscience the dem9nd for fair
and square deal, the earnest desire OF some
thoughtful men to steer the ship of state so that
it will not founder upon the rock But an ultra
conservative, so-caed, is not again to gain the
ascendency
The Virginia movement brings Senator Dan
iel forth possible candidate. 1t is anything
to defeat Bryan. 1t is doubtful however, if the
Democrats can do much to hear off Bryan Pos
sibly in a combination with Hearst they might
be able to hold up the Democratic convention and
prevent the denomination Of Bryan But an al
lance with Hearst, even for this purpose, would
be distasteful TO the forces that are so vehe-
mently opposed to Bryan

WRATH OF THE SPECIAL INTERESTS

THE frantic efforts of the local corporation
4 organ to elect the Democratic ticket bodies
no good for Candidate Bird and the other Demo
cratic nominees The organ is aroused to the
fullest efforts within its power only when the
public service corporate interests OF the State
believe they are affected Then it bazes out in
impotent rage
The fact that on the Republican ticket are
men who vaanhy fought before the legislature
for the right Of the city to tax the public service
corporations has aroused the wrath of the spec
ial interests organ. Hence it is assailing them
1t knows that a victory OF these candidates would
mean popular approval of their cause before the
Legislature and in City Council The corporation
organ wants to check such approval if possible.
That is all there is to it in this fight

GOLDFIELD, New. May 29-Ths
status OF the Goldheld stock market.
as well as other markets where Nevada
mining shares are hanlled. has beon
a mystery to the unobserving. But
here on the ground the real condition
is pretty we'll understood. and the
Nevada opinion IS somewhat better
than guess. Brokers. expecting a
high level Of prices unon the settle
ment of the lockout, loaded them
selves with thousands OF shares, and
in many instances borrowed money for
buying purposes. When the settlement
was effected prices went higher. but
FOR a brief time only. Some myster-
ious influence was at work and the
levels have zone constantly lower Co
incident with this came the panic con-
ditions IN Wall Street and the chaotic
labor conditions in san Francisco. The
banks Of that city. which carried most
OF the loans on Nevada stocks. called
their loans. TIE Nevada hanks followed
suit and the prices necessarily sank
lower. GOldncld Consolidated Mines
Company has found its record low
price, reaching the $3.50 point and this
in face of the fact that a dividend on
this stock might be paid at any time.
A glance at the figures of the COM
pany's treasury, together with the
fact that a prominent Wall Street capt.
talist may close his option on 1000. O00
shares at 7.50. lends reason to the be-
lief that a dividend VIII be forthcom-
