So the Report Goes, and Affairs Are
. In Such a Muddle He Can’t Set
Things Square.
Kingston, Jan. 28.—It Is understood
that Governor Sweetenham tendered
his resignation to Lord Elgin, Secre-
tary of the Colonies a few days since,
in consequence of the Admiral Davis
incident and his inability to solve the
problem created by the earthquake.
Saturday Gov.» Sweetenham visited,
the temporary offices of the Municipal
Council and informed the Vice Chair
man, who is acting in the absence of
Mayor Taft, who is injured, that the
Government had decided to relieve the
people of Kingston from all rates and
taxes for a period of fifteeh months be-
ginning the first day of January. This
announcement has been received with
gratification by the residents of the
city, who will be encouraged to start
the work of rebuilding as early as
possible.
Archbishop Nuttall declares that in
addition to the generous contributions
from the United States and Canada,
and elsewhere, it is absolutely neces
sary to obtain an imperial grant and a
large imperial loan to rebuild Kings-
ton, more particularly in view of the
attitude of the British fire insurance
companies who have disclaimed all re
sponsibility for Joss sustained during
the fire and earthquake.

Fierce Blowout in Louisiana. *
Lafayette, La.: The most terrific
blowout in any oil field, even surpass-
ing the Jennings and Batson districts,
occurred Saturday night in the Ance,
La., Butte field. The force of the gas
was so great that rocks larger than a
man’s fist were thrown half a mile
from the derrick.- A perfect shower of
rocks and sand lasted for over four
hours, 'tons of sand buried all the
machinery with the well 15 feet deep.
Death from the Firepot.
Houston: To charcoal fumes eman-
ating from a brazier kept burning all
Saturday night, is attributed the death
of Lizzie Harrlss, a negro servant in
the home of Mr. Osborne. Her re-
mains were found in bed Sunday morn-''
Ing with a charcoal burner in the cen-
ter of the room, and the opinion is
that she slept all night with the fire
burning and thus Inhaled the fumes.
