 The steamer Port Kingston will leave Thursday, with most of the members of the party who went out with Sir Alfred Jones to attend the agricultural conference.
 Up to this hour the foregoing is the most complete dispatch regarding the Kingston disaster that has been receiv- ed here. The absence of details is ac- counted for by the breakdown in cable communication, but the announcement that no Englishmen, Canadians or Americans are missing will greatly re- assure the public concerning the fate of the unusual number of tourists and others who are spending the winter in Jamaica, or who were attracted there by the agricultural and cotton confer ences.
 The party on board the Port Kingston only arrived at Kingston on Friday last. The Port Kingston, In addition to the members of Sir Alfred Jones party, had other guests and passengers on board which gave her a total pas senger list of more than one hundred persons
 The news of the disaster arrived in London too late tonight to become generally known to the public, but it is certain to cause widespread consterna- tion and anxiety and it will bring home to the imagination of the British peo- pie the terrors of an earthquake in a way that even the San Francisco catas- trophe failed to do.
 Owing to the active efforts in recent years of Joseph Chamberlain and Sir Alfred Jones the commercial develop ment of Jamaica has made the island much better known, and it has been greatly in favor as a winter resort.
 The Right Hon. Sir James Ferguson, mentioned in the foregoing dispatch, was man of considerable prominence. He served in the Crimean campaign with the grenadier guards and was present at the battle of Alma and h. kerman, where he was wounded and at the siege of Sebastopol. He was several times a member of the house of com mons He was under secretary of state for India and the home depart ments in Lord Derby's third, and in MT Disraelis first administrations. He was made governor of South Australia in 1868, governor of New Zealand in 1873, and governor of Bombay in 1885. He was under secretary of state for foreign affairs in 1886. and from 1891 to 1892 he served as postmaster gen. eral.

Death Valley is Measured.

The depth of Death valley has at
last been measured by the United
States government, and geological
markings have been left upon that
weird region. Py strange coinci-
dence in natures organization, the
highest and lowest points in the Unit
ed States are within 81 miles of each
other. Death valley being the lowest
and Mt. Whitney. Cal, the highest.
A geological bulletin says of the sur
vey of the valley:
The United States geological survey
has lust completed line OF spirit lev
Ella through Death valley, California,
much to the surprise of everyone Ia
milisf gith the region has ascertained
chat the depth of that area is not so
great as was supposed. The fnal com.
pntations of the results have not yet
been made, but the preliminary fig
arcs give for the lowest point depth
of 276 feet below sea level.
Bennetts Well, which Is near this
poipt. is 266 feet below sea level.
These figures may be altered by two
or three feet when the fiDal computa-
tions are made, but they are probably
not more that three feet in error.
The geological survey now has eleva.
tion marks on the highest and lowest
points of dry land in the United
States.
It ia a strange coincidence that
these two extremes are both IN south
eYn California and only 70 miles
apart. Mount Whitney is a foot OF
two over IA, 500 feet above sea level,
while Death valley, as above stated,
10 276 feet below. Before the Salton
sink. also in sorthern California, was
flooded by the Colorado river, it con
tained the lowest point OF dry land In
the United STATES, spot " feet ce'
low sea level. -
Previous estimates of the depth o.
Death valley, based on barometer
readings gave for the lowest point he
ures varying from $50 to 45O feet be
low sea level. The Level line OF th'
Geological survey ia believed to be th'
first accurate determination OF eleVa
tions in that locality that has eVel
been made.

CalifOrnia's Orange Crop.

Los Angeles, CAL, Feb. 26.-The
agents of the transcontinental rail,
road companies have submitted a
joint report to the effect that the sea-
son's orange shipments will aggregate

tons to the car, the tonnage will
amount to 80, 900.
The revenue OF the railroads on
oranges to eastern poins is s25 ton
The S Juthern Pacific and the Santa
Fe divide this business equally be

ceiye from this traffic this season %,
$780, In addition to this the pri-
vate refrigerator carlines gets for the
use of their equipment something
like 81, 500, 900
Deducting what the two roads and

which is Sll, $50, 600, there will be left
to the orange men sl2, 100, 900, Out
of the latter the orange men have te
pay the cost of production, cost Of

Concrete Railroad Ties.

The universal use of concrete ties
in railroad building is an evolution
of the near future in the opinion of
Hal p. Gillette, chief engineer In the
employ of the Washington railway
commission, who is preparing an
ella borate report on the value OF rail-
way property in that state. "The av-
sIage life of the wooden tie is eight
years, =" said Mr.. Gillette. "The wood
rots, the rails as a result not unfre-
quently spread and wrecks from this
cause occasionally occur. Where the
concrete tie Ia used the rails are i'm
bedded in the material, the result is
strong durable track which would
last almost for life time. However,
it is difficult to get roads to change
their building materials, though many
of the Eastern roads have already
commenced the use of concrete ties.
The original outlay for concrete 's
perhaps three times what it is fol
wood, but the heavy maintenance ex-
pense is practically eliminated.

DDRAILMENT OF FREIGHT TRAINS
 ON TWO ROADS.
TIamc Delayed Several Hours bH Acc1- dents Few Miles Out on CSast
 Line and Western RallrOads.

Freight wrecks on the Western Rail- road of. Alabama and the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad had the effect yester- day of causing considerable delay in tile arrival and departure of trains on those lines.

The Coast Line offiicais in this city. however. obviated unnecessary delay by sending a local to meet the arrivals at the scene of the derailment and brought them to the city one and a half hours behind time
 The wrecker was immediately sent to Sprague's Junction, and was at work all day in replacing the cars.
 The Western of Alabama wreck oc- cured about 3 o'clock in the after noon. causing the derailment of about six freight cars, but no serious dam age The wreck was near Cooks Sfa- tion. about fourteen miles from Mont gomery and the cars were thrown from the track into cut.
