"Keep Your Glory at Home' He Said in Thanking the Rear Admiral For His Services-- The Dead Go Up Into the --undreds--Many Are in Hos- pital. London, Jan. 25.--The Kingston cor- respondent of the Daily Mail, who vent by steamer to Santiago be Cuba, telegraphs to the Jeitter city a version of the Swet am-Davis controversy that is practically identi- cal with earlier accounts. He re-as- serts that after the American sailors were lafided, at the request of the colonial secretary, to quell an out- hreak at the prison, Governor Swet- tenham accompanied a hundred of the Indian sailors to the prison, where cight of the ringleaders were flogged, The governor then repudiated the re- quest for assiftance, claiming that he knew nothing about it. The corres- pondent gives the following account of the parting conversation between the governor and Admiral Davis, which he overheard : Governor Swettenham' am grate- ful for the aid you have given. Admiral Davie--'1 am sorry that I am unable to give more." Governor Swettenham--*'I under- stand. It would redound to your wdory. Keep vour glory at home." -- The Dead And Injured. London, Jan. 25.--The colonial of- fice 'has roveived a despatch from Governor Swettenham, saying, among other things, that Kingston must be practically rebuilt: Five hundred and thirty bodies, . with some undis- tinguishable remains, have. been bur- ied and perhaps one or two hundred Lodies are under the ruins. A major- ity of the population are living ia outhouses or in fhe less injured rooms of their houses. More than 3,000 are quite homeless. There are in the hos- pitals 370 persons, besides very many are being treated privately. The sub- scriptions received and promised reached a total of 8120530. The or- phans, - eripples, aged and" the most helpless will be under the permanent charge of the governor, The despatch records the arrival of the British cruiser Brilliant, the French cruiser Kleher, the Haytian presidential vacht Nord Alexis, with supplies, and the steamer Advance, from Colon, with stores and a deputation. Panama sent a promise of $5,125 in subserip tions. The governor asks the colonial secretary to thank Fgance, Denmark and Hayti for the help given from Martinique, St. Thomas and Hayti and Holand for an offer of assistance from Curaca.

War / Fo a : RUSSEL A. ALOER. Washington, Jan. 21. --United States Senator Russell A. Alger. of Michi gan, died suddenly at his home, in this city, this morning. There were practically no premonitory symptoms that the end was near. At half-past eight o'dock, the senator had a;plea- sant chat with Mrs. Alger, in her room, and then went downstairs. A few minutes later the senator suffered a recurrence of an old heart trouble and diath came quickly, Russellf Alexander Alger was horn'in Medina county, Michigan, in 1835, of a New England family, that was left destitute by his Tather when Russell was thirteen years of age. He soon bxcame an aid and support to the family, and while yet a youth ad- Ww toward sucoess in the lumber business.

New York, Jan, 25.--~Rev. William Randolph, of the West Nyack Reform ed church,' although probably ns wear death as a human being could be and live, having stopped breathing and manifesting other fatal signs, such as showing no feeling in the eye balls, was brought back to life by the at tending physician after nine hours of incessant application of stimulants and artificial" respiration. During the treatment the tongue of the patient had to be forcibly held forward to orevent it from closine the eviglottis and eausing saflocation, Mr. Ran- dolph now on the road to re- covery. It was a case of severe pleuro-pneumonia. After ~~ Mr. dolph had been ill © for a week heart began to weaken, and he was treated to subcutaneous injections of strychnine. Early on Sundav morning the patient began to sink, and, while the stimulants were being administer- ed to quicken the intermittent pulse, suddenly stopped breathing. Then while one nurse held his tongue for ward with a pair of forceps and an- ather performed artificial respiration, the doctor injected doses of all three stimulants, The doctor and nurses worked in overcoats, as the windows had bken thrown open. After nine hours they were rewarded by seeing the patient's eves close again and hearing him breathe regularly, 8 double Ran- his HE WILL RECOVER. The Attempt on Life of a Merch- ant Prince.

It is Said That the Chancellor, By His Actions, Took His olitical Life in His Hands-- Expectation That the Social- ists Will Win Heavily, Berlin, Jan, 25.--~The election of mem- bers of the mow reichstag is taking place to-day and it is expected that the result of the polling will be an- nounced to-morrow night, or on Mon- day morning at the latest, Great ex- citement prevails and it is certain that owing to the strained relations exist ing between the emperor and certain sections of the people, the polling will be the heaviest in the history of the country. i Thare is now no doubt that the pros- pects for Germany this year are by no means very bright, as it has been pub- licly asserted during the commence ment of the present campaign that the cmpire was now at the zenith of her presint oyele of prosperity. How this upon the elections, and the mutual at- year will materialize depends largely titude of the government and the reichstag to one another. Ii the goverament does mot make conviderable concessions to the popular desire for genuine constitutional rule, then the widely prevalent pessimism due to the meat famine, the «all-round rise in prices, notably of raw mater inls, and the necessaries of life, and weariness of the almost frenetic "Welt- politik'" of the kaiser, with ite mone: MA. and colonies, will place it beyond the power of the people to endure the chan. cellor's policy of fair words and light phrases. All these things may about an internal situation of extreme vity and even danger to the throne, othing, however, of gven the quasi prophetic kind éan be said of the gene ral prospects of the for 1907 wn- | til the results of the are an- nounced. Amongst statesmen of all shades of opinion the itical fortunes of the imperial chancellor, Prince Von Buelow, are regarded to be in jeonardy owing to his advice to the emperor to dissolve the reichstag on Dee. 18th. It in said that the chancellor, by his ac- tion, took his political life in his hands. In doing so, however, he was under the inspiration that comes of taking great risks, for, when making his famous announcement, as one transformed, his manner being wholly different {rom anything that the reichstag had ever seen since he entered political life. Indeed everyone noticed with mus he repelled the view that he was a mere instsument for carrying out the emperor's will, At present Von Buelow appears to feel that he will remain in office a fow years longer, and, though he has made determined efforts since the dissolution of the reichstag to do something, to Recure the reputation of being a bold, independent statesman, he has signally failed, for even now it can he seen that the socialists,as the only consist ent party in opposition are making re markable disputes between. the other parties. 'There is almost universal ex: pectation that the socialists will 'win heayily, and that the Catholics, whom th: government dislikes, will simply make way for the socialists whom the government despises, It is now rumor: ed that the chancellor will consider go government defeat at the polls tanta- mount to his own political death war- rant and would swamarily abdicate the chancellorship, A Check To'The Channel Tunnel, London, Jan. 25.-At a meeting of the imperial defence committee, in the Army and Navy Club, to-day, Lord Wolseley presided, "he procsedings were conducted in private, but, it has been announced that the committee Fwould oppose the proposed channel tunnel bill in all its stages, Leading British naval and military experts condemn the project as opening the possibility of continental invasion. On the other hand, all the great rail- roads in England and France, backed by the Rothschilds, are prepared to make' enormous investments of capital for carrying out the project. The trouble, therefore, will arise between capitalists and strategists, and there is great: apprehension that the latter will ereate sufficient public apprehen- sion to endanger parliamemtary ap- nroval of the scheme. It is not likely, however, that any mention will be mare of the project in' the House of Commons until after the Faster recess, --n Great Enthuiasm.

Duty Lowered on Account of Combine. Ottawa, Jan 24--The opposition this evening resurrected 'an iss of four years aro. and criticized tf gov- erument for having failed to set the machin of the criminal code in se tion against the paper manufacturers for combining to enhance prices in stead of reducing the duty. The con- tention was advanced that the duty should be restored to the original figure in order to jrotiet and encour age the paper-maki industry, Mr. Fielding intimated that the govern- ment had complied with the request of the newspapermen, who wore suf- ferers by the combine, and who pre- ferred taking action under the tariff act, as a more effective and expedi- tious method of securing relief than by appeal'ng to the criminal courts. Sending . members of 'the combine to ail would not, he contended; Jive ree price paper so long as the higher duty was maintained. He pointed out that it was rather late in the day for the opposition to raise the dead issue, as no opposition was of fered to the action of the government at the time, except by a few of the paper-makers, On the other hand, the newspapermen were gratified by a re duction in the price after the duty had bern lowered.
