DEEP REGRET IN LONDON
GREAT ENDORSEMENT OYER THE FRICTION AT KINGSTON.

Incident Between Admiral Davis and Governor of Jamaica Occurs at Mo-
 ment When British Press and Public
 Appreciation of Prompt Assistance
 of United states.
 London, Jan. 20.-There is a feeling of deepest regret here over the unfort- unate incident that led to the hurried departure of the American warships from Kingston
 Being Sunday and the news arriving late tonight, the fact became known to a comparatively small section of the public and the official world, but every where the greatest astonishment was expressed.
 Up to a late hour tonight neither the admiralty nor the foreign office had any news of the incident exceptthat deriv- ed from the press dispatches, and the inclination on all sides was to withhold an expression of opinion until the re- eeipt of the official version from Gov ernor Swettenham.
 Meantime the Kingston dispatches giving the correspondence between Governor Swettenham and Rear-Ad- miral Davis are being read with eager interest. The incident occurs at a mo- ment when the British press and pub lie are loud in an expression of grate- ful recognition of the prompt and gen. erous assistance the United States rem dered when it was impossible, owing to their distance from the scene, for Brit ish warships to go to the rescue.
 The important question as to whether the British authorities at Kingston were in a position to maintain order appears to be debatable.. Governor Swettenham's claim of ability to do so is in marked contrast to the accounts of many of the British press corre- spcndents, who recorded numerous cases of disorder; but, on the other hand, some of the correspondents averred that no serious disorders took place.
 What seems much less debatable is that Governor Swettenham acted en- tirely on his own initiative. The last dispatch of the secretary for the colo nies, Lord Elgin, to Governor Swetten- ham, which was dated January IS, gave i the governor full liberty of action. It was as follows:
 You will know that I fully appre- ciate the courage and firmness with which you and your government are facing this great disaster, and that do not wish to trouble you with tele- graphic instructions or to fetter your discretion"
 I It is not believed the government sent any subsequent instructions modifying i this attitude.
 As a possible explanation of Govern or Swettenham's action it is suggested that he may have acted under the strain of nervous excitement through being overwrought by his recen pain i ful experiences.

CHURCH BURGLARIZtD.
Jewels vried from Altar Cross in St.
 Peters, Hartford.

Hartford. Jan. 2O.-When St. Peters Roman Catholic church was opened for service to-day it was found that the church had been broken into and the cases containing the vestments rided, copes valued at about $500 being taken. It was also found that four emeralds had been pried from the altar cross, and that an attempt had been made to get into two safes in the church. These safes are built into the wall and are protected by wooden doors. These wooden doors had been broken open, and on one were blood stains where the splinters had evil dently lacerated the maurauder's S hands. It is thought that two men were engaged in the work and that they were frightened away, as some garments were found to have been dropped on the way to the door while others were piled up ready to be car ried away. There is no clue.

News of Her ArrivnI fin Philadelphia
 Received by Dr. Swain.
 The fears of pr. Henry L. Swain of York street for the safety of his wife, who has been spending a vacation in Jamaica, were brought to a happy end yesterday, when he received word of her safe arrival in Philadelphia. Ac- companying Mrs. Swain was Miss T. D. Ward, trained nurse. Dr. Swain had a talk with his wife over the tele- phone, and she said they were in San Antonio, which is on the opposite side of the island from Kingston, at the time of the quake. The shock was only slightly felt there.
 Mrs, Swain and Miss Ward returned on the steamship Farragut which ar rived in Philadelphia yesterday. In speaking of the voyage, Mrs. Swain said that just after they had got to sea they experienced a tidal wave. The vessel was rocked about like a toy and everyone on board was seasick.

agreement A to This Effect Reached After
 Conferences With Lodge and Other
 Senate Leaders--New Resolution to
 be Drafted Along the Lines of the Or
 iginal Lodge Measure-This Said to
 be Agreeable to Mir. Blackburn.
 Washington Jan 2O.-Several con- ferences of republican senators were held to-day to consider the Blackburn amendment to the Foraker resolution relative to the presidents discharge of the negro troops. President Roosevelt spent several hours at Senator Lodge s home in the afternoon and several re- publican senators were called in to discuss the Brownsville affair with the view of reaching decision as to what action is to be taken in the senate to- morrow The Associated Press was authoritatively informed tonight that 9 decision was reached to draft reso- lution along the lines of the original Lodge resolution. which will meet the aproval of Senator Blackburn. This resolution will be introduced by re- publican and will be supported by both the republican and democratic senators who take the position that the senate had no legal right to question the act of the president"
 The first conference of the day was held at the home of Senator Lodge and later number of republican sem ators met at Senator Knox's home to discuss some plan whereby a comDro- mise could be reached in order that the Blackburn amendment miEht not be brought to a vote. Senator Foraker took no part in any of the conferehces and declared that he would vote against the Blackburn amendment if the question is brought before the sen-I ate to-morrow. The Ohio senator said that he really did not care whether the resolution was adopted or voted down. 'tAll that I care for" he said, Ifs an investigation of the whole affair in or der that the real facts may be laid be- fore the senate"

TERRIFIC GALE HITS THE CITY OF RAFFALO
MILLION AND ONE HALF DOL. LARS DAMAGE DONE TO
 SHIPPING.

Wind Blows Ninety Miles an Hour at
 Times and Sweeps the City for
 Eighteen HOurs--Five Large Lake
 Steamers Wintering Just Outside the
 Breakwater Driven AshOre-Thirteen
 Others Ride Out the storm.
 Buffalo, N. Y, Jan 2O.-A terrific gale. which blew ninety miles an hour at times. has swept this city for eigh- teen hours and has done s1.5o0OOO damage to shipping.
 Five large lake liners wintering just inside the breakwater wall were torn loose from their moorings and driven aGl lounde The gale still rages and no aid can be sent to the endangered yes sells. They are believed to be resting on soft bottom and unless the gale be- ccmes worse will probably not suffer serious damage.
 The vessels aground are the Hurl- burt W. Smith, William Nottingham, J. c, Riddle. Monroe c. Smith and IA. c. Brewer. Most of them are owned in Cleveland. They have no carsoes.
 Caretakers were aboard but are be- lieved to be safe.
 For four hours the gale sweet the water front with unabated fury. Docks ani wharves were wrecked and car ried away Craft broken from their moorings were smashed against bridges with serious damage Smoke stacks and buildings of light eonstruc- tlon were blown down like paper boxes, but so far no casualties have been dis covered.
 The water in Lake Erie rose three feet in as many minutes. The inner breakWaters have been pounded until portions of them have been mroken away. Railroads having tracks along the waterfronts are holding them down with strings of freight cars.
 The city has had telephone and tele- graph communication with the 2rinci- pal cities most of the day and much of the trouble is being remedied. The lbrunt of the storm seems to be west of Buffalo, Railroad service in and out of the city has been badly d!sar- ranged. The gale brought with it binding snowstorms.
 The fleet that was anchored at the breakwalls consists of about eighteen large lake liners. When they started coming ashore in the height of the storm about noon to-day, vessel men were prepared to see the whole fleet heached, but thirteen of them rode out the gale.
 No more accurate estimate of the damage can be given until the weather permits the underwriters or vessel men to make an inspection. None will ven ture into the sea now Old lake men say this is the severest continued storm that has swept the lower lake in the last twenty years.

SUPPLIES MAY RE STOPPED.
Those on Way May Not Now Ever
 Reach Kingston.

New York. Jan 20.-The gathering locally of supplies for the Kingston earthquake sufferers by the New York Kingston relief committee will, it is ex- peoted, be discontinued tomorrow for the time being at least, and in view of the refusal on the part of Governor Swettenham of Jamaica to accept aid from American war vessels, it is quite probable that the supplies now on the way to Kingston on the steamers AL leghany and Prinz Joachim will never reach that port Both steamers have been ordered to call off Port Antonio, and there await further instructions.
 A special meeting of the relief com- mittee will be held tomorrow, when the situation will be thoroughly gone over, and definite action taken. Mem bers of the relief committee tonight would not commit themselves further than to express the feeling that noth- ing more could be done without official authorization from the government of Jamaica.
 Several days ago the relief committee cabled Governor Swettenham, asking him the nature of acceptable relief where supplies could be landed safe- ly and to advantage. To these in- quiries subsequently repeated, no reply was received. The committee did hear from the colonial office in London, through which one of these cablegrams was sent to Governor Swettenham, and the tone of the message was such as to leave the committee to believe that it's efforts were welcome. That the governor had not personally replied was believed to be due to the confu- sion of affairs in Kingston. Acting on this supposition there was dispatched on the Hamburg American line steam- CT AllegF any yesterday 1,500 barrels of clothing canned goods and medical supplies, including a Red Cross con- tribution representing between $5,00N and $6,00O. To-day the committee se on the Prinz Joachim of the same line, also sailing for Kingston, additional supplies. The. captain of each steam CT was commanded by it's owners to call off Port Antonio, and there await instructions. To make possible also communication with the Prinz Joachim when she was off the Florida coast, the latter vessel received a wireless equipment.

ment That Real Work of the Trial
 men From Whom to Draw Jury
 Panel Selected With Greatest Care
 Includes Men of Affairs With RecOg-
 nizeds Standing in the Community.
 New York, Jan. 20-Harry Kendall Thaw, heir to the famous Thaw mil lions of Pittsburg, will leave the gray half light of the Tombs tomorrow morning, cross the Bridge of Signs" and stand In the tribunal of justice, where he confidentally hopes to prove before a jury that his killing of Stan ford White, eminent architect and pa- tron of the stage, on the Madison Square garden roof was not "wilful and deliberate murder" in the eyes of the law. It will be the first time ThaW has left the Tombs since his commit ment June 2S last, just three days after the tragedy which furnished an inter national sensation. He will be pre- sented formally at the bar tomorrow, but Justice John J. Fitzgerald has an- other case pending, that of Matthew Hilgert, the maker of magic boots" and this must be disposed of before the cause of the people vs. Thaw can be taken up. It is thought that Wednesday will be the very earliest moment that the real work of the Thaw trial can be started
 In the meantime 200 talesmen, mem bers of a special grand jury panel drawn for the Thaw trial, will have to await the call of the court. This large jury list is remarkable in many ways. It has been selected with the great est care, and every effort has been made to avoid the professional juror. Men of affairs, with a recognized standing in the community, have been sought, and the district attorneys off, flee believes the list of those summon ed constitutes as high type of citi- zenship as could be secured It is rec ognized that the selection of jury is to be the most difficult part of the proceedings. The interest in the Thaw- White tragedy has been so keen and so l long sustained the comments on 1t have been 50 wide and diversified that comparatively few of the talesmen will be able conscientiously to say that they | have not formed some sort of an opin- | ion.

TURNED INTO 4 FIASCo

Paris, Jan. 2O.-The firm measures taken by the government turned the gigantic workmen's demonstration in favor of the complete enforcement of the weekly rest day law, which had been planned to take place on the main boulevards of the city to-day, into a fiasco.
 Under the French law parades with out the authorization of the prefect are illegal, but counting upon the com placency of the radical government the labor leaders disdained this formal ity. Premier Clemenceau, however, re- alizing that procession of such mag nitude as has been planned would be sure to lead to trouble, last night no- tified the leaders of the. demonstration that it would not be permitted.
