miral Davis Was Insnlt.
London, Jan 22. The British gov
ernment and nation, having shown
the strongest reprobation of the at
titude of Governor Swetteuhaui. of
Jamaica, In bringing about the with
drawal of the American warships un
der the command of Rear Admiral
Davis from Kingston, the chief In
terest now centers In the governor's
long deferred reply to the British
government's urgent demand for an
explanation of his conduct, as this
will give the first adequate means of
determining the governments dual
course iu repudiating or condemning
the governor's action. This explana
tion had not been received during the
early hours of the day, although a
dispatch reached here from Swetten
ham setting forth the progress o the
relief work, without any mention of
the incident which cause the Ameri
cans to withdraw from the Island.
This dispatch was not dated, indicat
ing that it was sent before he re
ceived the government's request for
an explanation. Swettenham bus
been markedly lax in keeping the Im
perial authorities informed regarding
the situation -at Kingston and the
present delay causes much irritation
here. The prompt recognition in
America that Swettenham's letter
was the act of an individual Is much
appreciated here. Public opinion con
tinues to strongly denounce the gov
ernor or Jamaica, although a small
element takes the ground that he
should have a fair chance of defend
Ing himself. The Evening Standard
concisely sums up the j prevailing
sentiment as follows: ;
-air Alexander swettenham com
mitted the gross and unpardonable
niunner or writing a letter to Admiral
Davis which was nothinir more or
less than an insult and bore all The
appearance of a carefully studied In
sult aven ir he received vexatious
provocation from the Americans no
shred or Justification can be urged
for the letter. The only course It
leaves open to him and to his coun
trymen is to apologise to the nation
to whose officer It was riliwrwl
Among the newspapers the Globe
ioue, in its customary antl-Amerl-
enn way, persists In "applauding the
mujuess wnu which swettenham as
serted the rights of bis sovereign and

Former Governor McConnell of Idaho
and a former Indian commissioner,
in an interview ' in the Herald,
charges a gross mismanagement of
the Indian schools and arraigns the
system by which young Indian girls
are taken away from their parents
and sent to the Indian schools. He
alleges that the teaohers In the
schools practice great cruelty upon
their charges and that the girl pupils
are allowed to be debauched. The
blame is placed upon Secretary
Hitchcock, whom, Mr McConnell
says, he acquainted with these con
ditions during his tenure of office,
but who pigeon-holed his report. He
further says that the offlcals of the
Interior department conceal the true
state or affairs Irom the president,
The reservation schools are badly ov
ercrowded, he says, as the agents try
to secure as large a per capita appro
priation as possible. , He says he has
seen Instances where Indian boys
with running tubercular sores were
compelled to sleep with healthy In
dians.
COAL PIES BURNED.
Four Masted Schooner of Boston Was
Also Destroyed.
Baltimore, Md, Jan 22. The large
new coal pier of the Pennsylvania
railroad at Canton, and the four
masted schooner Cobassett of Boston
were burned to-day. The men at work
on the pier and the crew of the
schooner got away in safety. The
loss on the pier was placed at $30,
000, fully insured. Very little coal
was In the pier at the time.
The schooner Cohassett was about
one-third loaded with coal. She was
built In 1903 and was owned by
John S. Emery & Co of Boston.
TO LIGHTEN A ROOM.
Little Touches that Will Do
In Relieving Gloom. .
Much
No one wants a gloomy room, but
what to do with such a room is a
problem that baa bothered more than
one.
Many a woman has foregone inside
curtains and even sash curtains to al
low all the light possible to come into
the room, but still It looks dreary.
It is not as muoh the light that one
needs as the sunshine, and when this
cannot be had one must make it, or
rather get the effect of it
A room with a northern aspect
should not, of csurse, be papered In
blue, or soma such cold color, but
rather In rich, warm tones of olive
green, brown, red or yellow. If the
room gets but littje light and sun
shine, yellow should be the choice.
Not only shor'd there be yellow on
the walls, but also on the ceiling, for
the sake of the reflection. A pretty
treatment Is to have a light pumpkin
yellow on the walls as far as the pic
ture molding and a lighter shade
above this and on the celling. Then
yellow silk xash curtains, pulled back,
tend to nr a room sunny.
Brass ca nake a wonderful differ
ence to a u eary room. A large Jar
dlnlere, with a plant In It placed In a
dark corner will lighten up most mar
vellously. The andirons, too. will give
a cheery reflection, even candlesticks
help, and little trays and bowls, be
they ever so smalL The Importance
of brass In a sunless room cannot be
too strongly emphasized. Mirrors
brighten up and so do some pictures,
with well-polished glasses and glided
frames, but these little points are too
seldom taken Into consideration.
The Rainy Day Costume.
It may not be fashionable to go
about In rainy weather but It is, nev
ertheless, often necessary, and In
very outfit there should be one cos
tume that Is suitable for Inclement
weather. An old cloth suit Is gener
ally relegated to this sort of wear and
Is often excellent for the purpose, but
frequently the only suit that la old
enough for the purpose Is too elabor
ate to be appropriate. The simpler
tne rainy day suit the better, and
there must be bo plaits or trlmminn
to be ruined by the dampness. The
skirt should bo soma Inches shorter
than the regular walking skirt and
should be sufficiently full to be becom
ing, but as Just stated must have no
plaits which would require the skirt
to be pressed after each outing. A
plain tailor-made Jacket of three-quarter
length la the smarter, and the
sleeves should bo long, for long gloves
are quit Inappropriate for this style
of dress.
Fur Hats Drew In Popularity.
Par hats grow la popularity with
the length of the winter. Black lynx.
caracuL mink, chinchilla aad squirrel

quaint and charming head dresses.

ANNUAL .CONFffiENCE
The Demands Made Are Socialistic
In Nature But Call For Many
Reforms, Many of Them Are
Just Ones.
Belfast, Jan 22. The labor party,
which has to be seriously considered
politically, blnce the unexpected suc
cess of Its candidates at the last gen
eral election, begins its seventh an
nual conference here Thursday. Chief
Interest centers on the amendment
proposed to the constitution of the
party by the executive, making the
organization socialistic without an
reservations. The insertion oi tins
new '-object" into the constitution is

ject shall be the obtaining for tue
workers ine tun resuus oi men la
bors by the overthrow of the present
coiiipc.Uivc system of capitalism, and
the institution of public ownership
and control of all means of life."
Some of the unions affiliated with
the party will propose that a vote of
all unionist working men be taken on
the proposition les being their belief
that the worklngmen ns a whole aro
not socialists. The executive will al
so endeavor to have the the confer
ence instruct the members of parlia
ment as to the stand they shall take
on the government's temperance bill,
which, with the Irish question. Is ex
pected to occupy the attention of the
commons during the coming session.
