CITY ASKS DAVIS TO STAY.
Kingston Council Disapproves Action
of Governor.

New York, Jan. %. - A special dis
patch to the Times from Kingston says
that Governor Swettenham, in addition
to refusing aid from Rear Admiral
Davis, has declined an offer senDby
the War department of the United
States to extend Immediately to Kings
ton 10, 900 rations which were intended
for troops in Cuba, and would have been
diverted here.
The governors action, the Times cor
respondent says, is dsapproved of by
the community, which appreciates the
kindness of the Americans. AS soon as
it became known what had been done
by Governor Swettenham and that the
American ships, in consequence, we're
to leave, an emergency meeting of the
city council was called.
The discussion showed that the gov
ernor's attitude toward the Americans
did not meet with the approval Of those
officials, and letter to Admiral Davis
was drafted and adopted in which the
action of Sir Alexander Swettenham
was wholly disapproved, and the Amer
lean government and officers were
warmly thanked for the thoughtful, ef
fective and timely aid they had giver
in the emergency. This letter was i'm
mediately dispatched.
Admiral Davis was also asked to re
main in spite of the unfortunate Incl
dent. The request was dispatched t.
him and he made reply in which HI
said that there was no misunderstood
ing with the Jamaican authorities, bu
he added significantly in reply to tn
request to remain:
Gas a foreign naval officer l an
bound to respect the wishes of the con
stituted authority of Jamaica"

Always to be Depended Upon

When a person gets up in the morning
with a dull headache and red, stretchy
feeling, it is an almost certain indication
that the liver, or bowels or both are oecid-
eddy out of order.
At such times Nature, the wisest and
best ofall doctors, takes this means to give
warning that she needs the help and gem
tie assistance which can best be OBJ aimed
from that Old family remedy, Brandreth's
Pills, which has been use for over CEN
fury.
They are the same fine laxative tonic pill
your rand arents used, when doctors
we're few and far between and when people
had to have a remedy that could absolutely
be depended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended upon
and are sold in every daug and medicine
store, either plain or sugar-coated.

Salt Is the latest device for laying
dust on roads in the country. The au-
thor of the new departure is NJ. Trint-
zins, city surveyor of Rouen, who has
published it as the result Of a long
series of experiments. The list of these,
while bringing out the weak side of
the new system, possesses considerable
interest as showing 1t to possess real
possibilities of utility. A long stretch of
road was first watered and then sprin-
killed. with salt. The next day the sur.
face OF the road was covered with a
thin glazed crust. Rain removed this
in parts, but where the glaze remained
there was no dust for five days.

Washington, Jan. 15.-When the
legislative bill was taken up in the SEN
ate yesterday, Gallinger, who had given
notice of an amendment increasing the
salaries Of senators and members of the

viii Recall All Supplies.

New York, Jan. 22.-The gathering
of supplies here for the Kingston earth
quake sufferers by the New York-Kings-
ton relief committee, it is expected, will
b discontinued for the time being at
least, and in view Of the refusal on the
part OF Governor Swettenham, Of ia
maica, to accept aid from American wal
vessels, it is probable that the supplies
now on the way to Kingston on the
steamers Allegheny and Prinz Joachim
will never reach that port. Both
steamers have been ordered to call al
Port Antonio for instructions.

Washington, Jan. 16.- Smokeless
powder patents were under debate to-
day in the house.
Gaines, of Tennessee, told of how
Professor Monroe had patented the
smokeless powder process, having dis.
covered it while filling the chair Of
chemistry at the naval academy, an
also said patent was taken out by
John R. Barnadou while the latter was
a commanding officer in the navy.
Gaines quoted the Supreme court de
cision in the Gilly and Solomon cas-,
that patent taken out by an officer fo
a discovery made by him in the line o
duty belongs to the government. Mr.
Monroe, he stated, had turned his pat
emit over to the United States, and ye
it was today in the hands of grea
powder monopoly, ''and the government
is in the grasp of that monopoly"
So far as Gaines could find out, Mr.
Barnadou had not turned his paten
over to the government.
