cept these supplies, waiving tho custom

The Daily Telegraph, in a scathing
editorial article, arraigns Governor
Swettenham as follows:
"Wo would be unfaitful to our duties
as exponents of public opinion if wo
failed to call attention to the extraordi
nary conduct of his excellency in tho
present crisis. His general behavior at
a moment of great peril and difficulty
was unworthy of the responsible British
official and even a cultured English
gentleman. His letter to Rear Ad
miral Davis was a production of which
ho ought to be ashamed and of which
tho Jamaicans aro ashamed. Tho
United States is a friendly nation;
their bono is British bone, their flesh
is British flesh and no one but a blind
ed bigot would have refused to admit
American landing parties."
SHONTS TO RESIGN.
result of the floods In November.
MUST APOLOGISE: OR RETIRE
Will Take Charge of New York's
Rapid Transit,
Washington, Jan. 24. Tho resigna
tion of Theodore P. Shonts as chair
man of the Isthmian Canal commission
was announced at the White House to
rlay.' It will take effect not later than
March 4, Mr. Shonts having been
elected today president of the Inter-borough-Metropolitan
company, which
controls the rapid transit and many
surface lines in New York.
No announcement was made as to
who will succeed Mr. Shonts as chair
man of the commission, but it was
learned authoritatively that headquar
ters will be removed from Washington
to the isthmus and that a high salaried
chairman to servo in that capacity
alone will not be named. This being
admitted, it follows that John F. Stev
ens, the, engineer in charge of the con
struction of tho canal, would not be
made subordinate to another official.
MINERS ARE ENTOMBED, j
Fate of Swettenham Unless He Can
Give Good Excuse.
London, Jan. 23. The Incident aris
ing from the exchange of letters at
Kingston between Governor Swetten
ham and Rear Admiral Davis now ap
pears to be entering the waiting stage,
as tho government, after doing all
possible in the absence of advices from
the Governor of Jamlaca, is obliged to
defer further action until he reports.
In the meantime the trend of official
sentiment is toward having Governor
Swettenham apologize or retire, but
this is based on the press accounts of
the Incident and on letters, and it may
be modified by Governor Swetten
ham's version, giving extenuating cir
cumstances. In the absence of a report from the
Governor to his government, his dis
patch to Secretary Root, which has
been reproduced here, tends further to
mystify the mind of the public, which
finds it difficult to reconcile the Gov
ernor's present recognition of the as
sistance rendered by the American
squadron wit hthe terms of the nre-
vious letter.
The bill providing for publication of
notice of all est rays was passed by the

Tuesday, January 22.
Salem, Jan. 22. Both houses of tho
legislature in separate session today
elected Jonathan Bourne, Jr., United
States senator for the long term and
Fred W. Mulkey for the shoit term.
The vote on Mulkey was unanimous
in the houso and all members of the
senate present voted for him. Three
representatives, Reynolds, Rodgors and
Settlomier, of Marion, refused to sup
port Bourne. These men explained
that they did not pledge themselves
and also that their constituents gave a
plurality against him'. Four senators,
Booth of Lane, Laycock of Grant, Mil
ler of Linn-Marion and Whealdon of
Wasco, voted against Bourne. Tho!
senators gave much tho same reason as '
to bo paid by tho comity and one-third
by tho state; creating tho office of in
spector of mines, and Boveral covering
tho sovenil sections of tho report of the
state tax commission, in each caso ad
, vocating tho adoption of tho report.
In tho senate tho now measures in
cluded: For reciprocal demurrage and
prohibiting rebates and discrimination;
for transportation of convicts by prison
employes; to purchaso land adjoining
the capitol grounds on the east side,
and to provide for working county pris
oners on public highways.
