DEPLORED IN LONDON.

London, Jan. %. - Referring to
the withdrawal Of the American war
ships from Jamaica, tne Pail Mall
Gazette yesterday afternoon said that
the Language employed by Governor
Swettenham would be difficult to
justify in almost any circumstance. -
AT the same time, the paper says,
1t thinks cit is possible that a praise
worthy desire to do his utmost in
the cause of humanity pushed Admir-.
al Davis beyond the necessities of the
case and led him to encroach too far
upon the sphere of British authority. "
The Pail Mall Gazette assumes that
both the admiral and the governor
we're animated by the best of motives,
and adds:
"Englishmen certainly do not wish
the misunderstanding to be maGnifled
in any sense Of pique and the Ameri
can public ought to be broad minded
enough to regard it with the same
charitable disposition.
The Westminster Gazette says there
can be nothing but regret at the fact
that any dicffiulty has arisen between
Admiral Davis and Governor Swetten.
ham, and while awaiting further ex.
PLANTATION, adds
In the meantime the United States
can be assured that we In this country
deeply appreciate the generous, SYM
pathetic way in which Its citizens vol
uDteered assistance TO the British col
ony. "

olutions:
Whereas. The present controversy
In the management OF the Illinois Cen

edge OF the stockholders the fact that
the board OF directors has delegated
its powers in intervals to an execu-
tive committee OF their number. which
In turn has conferred the same abso
lutte power upon their chairman. which
we believe 20 be grave danger to
the interests OF the corporation and
OF its stockholders. and
Directors Scored.
Whereas. The fact has become
known that by this concentration Of
authority the officers have been able
to make large loans to themselves on
such securities and terms as they
themselves deem sufficient and are
the sole Judge. And. as It is also evil
dent that under this present system Il
is possible for any individual delegat-
ed with these powers to make in his
own interests this railroad and it's
business subordinate and contributory
to other roads in which he may have
a greater personal interest. and
Therefore. We. stockholders Of the
Illinois Central railroad, protest
against this improper and hazardous
practice. and we request the board of
directors 10 take such action as will
prevent these evils in the future"

it'll be all I'll ask for. l won't want to go no

as just good a pitcher as Mowemdown

You see in league where the sluggers slug

was what Mowemdown Mott, pitching for the
Swattburg nine, did one year. And yet
Sluggitt Corners won the championship. After
I've told you how good Mowemdown Mott
was, I'll tell YOU how that latter come about.
Mowemdown Mott struck out twenty-seven
men in his first game in the Big Stick League.
Then the second time out he struck out twenty
five and two died on fouls. In the third
game he had the batters SO buffaloed they d
dodge away from the plate whenever he
pitched a ball, and he just had to lob straight
ones over, mainly.
He got all the batters on all the mines in
the league on his list right away, so they all
knew they couldn't hit him. He had two
astonishing curves, the dropup and the hornet.
The first really dropped to your knees as it
came towards you' anu theli rose ike stfeak
as you went to pound it. The hornet was a
variation of a rising drop inshoot. If you
didn't back away from it, you got stung, gen.

After awhile Mowemdown got SO good that
even the best batters became discouraged.
When Mowemdown 'ud sing out he was
going to throw a dropup or a hornet, the
batter 'ud Just hold his hand up an say
Don't bother THROWN. Call it strike and
let it go at that" and then settle down an
wait till Nowendown announced what he'd
throw next. Maybe he'd announce three
dropups or hornets. If he did, the batter I'D
reply as before, Don't bother THROWN, !"
an walk sadly back to the bench, out on three

whim not to let him hit it.
People began to stay away from the grounds
