are all balanced.

nally Kingston, Port Royal and SAINT

practically ceased, and only the coal
and rubbish are now burning Inc

area between the parade gardens, the
sea, Luke street and Princess street.
The parish church forms the appex
of this triangle which comprises about
one-third OF the town. The wharVes
burned arc George and Branday, anu
Malabre, Haggart, Lyons, Solomohs,

'The burned area Is being cleared

ident a preliminary report of the in

members In the Northwest into this
matter, and the full report will be
submitted very soon.
When this is ready the president
VIII prepare a special message 10
congress urging necessary legislation
The president made this announce
ment today at a conference with
Messrs. Knapp. Clements. Harlan and
Clark of the interstate commerce COM
mission, and four members of the ex-
ecutive committee of the national re-
ciprocaI demurrage convention recent
ly held at Chicago. They include the
following:
]. Van Hoose. Birmingham. Ala
bama, representing Southern Whole
sale Grocers' association; George II.
Emerson. Hoquiam, Washington, re-
presenting the Pacific coast; Donald
A. Sage, Chicago, representing the
coal shippers, and ]. L. Defenbaugh,
secretary Of the convention.
The president took a deep interest
in the appeal presented to him by the
demurrage representatives. asking
that he recommend federal legislation
giving the interstate commerce COM
mission power to deal with questions
of car shortage when such an emer-
gency arises, and settling out the Sc
rious condition of affairs resulting
from the present situation.
The presidents idea as expressed by
one of those present. was that what
ever amendments TO the interstate
commerce act on this subject may be
enacted they should not become oper-
ative until July 1, when the roads
which the act affects would have had
ample opportunity to prepare for the
change,
The members of the interstate COM
merce commission unofficially say
their recommendation to the presi-
dent will include some form of reci-
procal demurrage so that the carrier
may be penalized for delaying move
ment as well as the consignee for de-
laying unloading cars and probably
some suggestions for the Interchange
of cars by railroads to meet eXtraor-
binary demands in one section not ex-
isting in another.
One of the demurrage reports told
the president that because of dis
pute between the railroad companies
and the consignees 1900 carloads of
coal were held at Minneapolis and sew
eral hundred at Chicago.
The president decided to have the

satisfaction that the casualties among
the English residents in the island had
been few.
At the time of writing this message.
however, a message was received from

dius of ten miles have been damaged,

This dispatch from Sir Alfred is
identical with other mes
sages received from Kingston, includ-
ing one from a correspondent of the
who is with the Jones party,
with the exception that all the others
give the death list as several hun
dred," while a dispatch of a similar
purport received by the direct West
Indies Gable company says the loss
of life was heavy" and adds that
Port Antonio was not badly injured.
King Edward, through the Earl of
Elgin, secretary of state for the col

follows;
Il am commanded by the king to
request you to express to the inhabit-
ants of Kingston the horror with
which his majesty and the queen have
learned of the terrible catastrophe
which has befallen the town, with a
loss of so many lives, and the deep
of their majesties with the
sufferers and the relations of those
killed"

The royal family has tended to set
the country an example of generous

Wales have contributed $2.500 each.
