sWETTENtIAM HAD A BUN ON
WHEN he DROPPED THAT !.
JOKE.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Feb. 4.-"The
action Of Governor swettenham in ad.
dressing his Insulting letter to Admir-.
al Davis was not that OF a sane man,
now was 1t the deed OF James Alexan.
der Swettenham. man of the world
and valiant soldier. That letter was
written by man temporarily craxeii
by an overwhelming calamity. The
public win have to look to science for
the explanation OF IT."
This is the statement made today
by DR.. James Deane, head of tho gov
eminent medical department in ia
maica. He is an English physician
of great learping and high rank.
He Joins the whole English popula.
ton in deploring the unfortunate in
cident which was so insulting to all
America, but unlike most people he
forbears no resentment to the gov.
ernor. In his opinion the governor
was thrown into a strange form Of in
toxicati0n by sudden destruction of
the fair city over which he had held
such a comp1acent rule.
Needs Sympathy.
"Too much sympathy cannot be OK.
tended to the governor. He certainly
shall be placed in the harassing posi-.
ton of seeking sane explanation fer
an insane act" continued DR.. Deane.
when the shake c,mc he escaped
with his life to find death and tlestruc-
tion all round hira. He threw AIm.
self into tho task OF coping with the
situation. In that dead heat that fol.
lowed the quake. he went about ii
the sun. Always as he went. the ap-
palling borrow grew. and here and
:nere on ali sides ha foun,l certain
traces OF de death OF men and women
he counted az his fr'enis. 1t was too
much for q human m!rd, for he real
lized that UPON his dovo,ycd the duty
of meeting the crisis. He did his best,
no doubt, as a good soldier, but he
was man when he wrote that letter
which the whole British empire would
recall. As I say, you must go to the
expert student of the brain to find
the explanation, and there only will
1t be found
The theory of DR.. Deane is support
ed by the subsequent action Of the
governor in accepting with thanks
supplies sent by the United States
from Panama. Many less charitable
in the explanation Join in the asser-
ton that the letter was the work Of
a madman.

Vancouver, b, q, Sept. l0.--Following

stratioh occurred later, in which ak.

figures and in which number Of people

by the rioters. Seven or eight Of the
japanese were ulieeremoniously picked
up and thrown into Buzzards inlet
Still further rioting occurred when a
crowd OF about 1900 laborers started
on the war path, but were finally queil-

had been made.

ENGLAND IN HARD PLACE.
The Vancouver Riots Are Particularly
Embarrassing.

London, Sept. l0.-The news Of the
attack on Japanese and Chinese at Van
couver, y, @. did not surprise the col.
onial and foreign Office officials here, who
had long feared an outbreak against the
Asaties in western Canada, bat they
have the greatest confidence in the abil-
ty Of the Canadians to suppress any
disturbances and protect aliens. At the
same time the officials realize that a
most serious problem has arisen, partic-
ularly as the feeling appears to be very
strongly against the subjects Of Great
Britain's eastern ally, and that it re-
quires the most careful handling, for
whatever action is taken Is likely to be
resented either By the colony or Japan.
The question has been under considera-
tiou for some time by the imperial au-
thorities, who have used their good Of
fees on numerous occasions 10 prevent
the enactment OF anti Japanese legisla,
ton BY British Columbia. 1t is under
stood that the matter was discussed
during the recent visit Of the coloial
premiers to London, Australia being as
much opposed to the admission Of Asiat-
les as are the Canadians. No steps were
taken at the time, however, and the
subject was allowed TO lapse until the
aeitations were revived All the cabinet
ministers are ont of town at present,
but the colonial and foreign Office OH.
eials are seeking to obtain all the infor'
nation possible on the subject Of the
Vancouver outbreak. with the view Of
taking some action the nature Of which
Is difficult 10 surmise.

tween this country and Japan, and that
each had a thorough understanding aud
approval of the course Of the other.
While Japan, be said, would be pleased
to welcome the battleship feet and rs
officers, should the ships visit that eoun.
try, he said ii was too early for him to
discuss such matter or for Japan to
make any plans for the welcome until
il has been decided whether on not such

The opinion Of both the state and
the navy departments is that the trouble
between the sailors Of the Chattanooga

of serious character, and that there
Is not likely to be any interchange Of
