NOTWITHSTANDING the renewed pressure
of the democratic national committee, as
sisted by General HANcoCK's urgent and
emphatic entrcaties, the hormonizing OF
the democratic factions in New York city
has come TO halt The smaller offices
have been disposed of by lottery, but the
great prize, the mayoraty, is too great to
be left to chance, Whoever got it would
be in position afterward to crush out his
opponent. In fact KELLY cannot afford
to give it up, and so far the TnDEN men
cling to it as a sine qua non to further uego-
tiations.

The congress of freethinkors, which is in
convention at Brussels, promises TO break up

union of church and state, and demand the
suppression of both agencies, while others went
so far as to eulogi2e the commune. The Ger
man and English members denounced such
language, aud said they would withdraw IL
the congress supported such views, as they
were foreign to the subjects the congress was

the latter state, if left alone, promises soon
to acquire, is the principal agency in in
ducing the intervention Of England, France
and the United States between the COM
batants Peru and Bolivia have been
utterly discomfted and whipped, and the
acquisition of territory and war material
by Chilli has rendered the allies utterly inn

We willingly give place to the commu-
nication Of Captain GEORGE W. GIsT, cor
rectng n paragraph printed in The
NATIoNAL REPUBLICAN in regard to Ken
tucky's position in the war, At the same
time we are not convinced that anything
like majority Of white Kentuckiuns were
loyal to the union, At least in the early ypurt
of the war, nor that her quota to the south
ern army did not exceed the number Of
those who fought for the union. If she
was as loyal as the letter Of Captain GIsr
would INDICATE, why is it that he speaks of
sacrificing his fortune and position by adher-
ing to the union side? Why are not her
union soldiers houored and rewarded in
stead Of being ostracsed and exiled?
WHEN the democratic papers talk about
THDEN's being cheated out of the presi-

they dared not attempt to test that ques-

FIRE AT PEEL TREE.

DESTROYED.
Correspondence Of the Register,

Correspondence Of the Register.
Peel TREE, W, Va, March 18th.
Last night about II o'clock the repose
of the citizens OF this place was sudden
" interrupted at the alarm of fire, which
alarm soon proved to bo too true. and
the fire too far advanced to be controlled.
The fire was first discovered in the
blacksmith aud wagon makers shop,
(the two combined) occupied by b. ii.
Paugh & Hume Brothers. Notwith-
standing the promptness with which the
citizens responded to the alarm and the
united efforts to subdue the fire, but a
few moments interviewed until the shop
was completely envel0ped in the flames,
and very soon the flames reached the
grange building, (hall and store ROOM
and all efforts to impede It's progress
only seemed to add to II fuel. The store
room was occupied by Messrs. w. W..
Coburn Il Co. part oi their stock
only could he saved. Mr.. j. A. Houng's
stable, being situated near by, and being
well filled with hay and straw, soon be-
came an easy prey to the destroy
ing element, and in the shortest pOssl-
BILE space of time, three large and valua-
BILE buildings and most of their contents
had been reduced to ashes; and 1t
was with great difficulty other build
ings in the vicinity were saved; /;
In fact but for the Calmness OF the even
ing our village would be in ashes. Mr..
j. A. Young is, in all probability, the
heaviest loser but b. Ill. Paugh and Hume
Bros, the greatest sufferers, as they
are mechanics, and all thatthey had that
was available was invested in their bus
mess OF smithing and wagon making,
and all was lost. Included, were six
new wagons ready TO turn out, tools,
stock, &c. Mcssrs. W. W. Coburn u
Cos. loss Is very considerable,
but they have partial insur-
ance on stock which think will
be sufficient to cover the loss. There
was no other insurance Oh any Of the
property destroyed. The estimate to-
day, is that the real loss will approx
mate 3, 800. The cause OF the fire is
supposed To have been accidental. Our
citizens are feeling very much depressed
over the sudden and unexpected loss,
and well they may be Tor none were
prepared for the sudden change OF
affairs, neither were they prepared to
meet the losses necessarily growing out
of it. Ii will retard the business and
other interests Of our place Tor some time
to come. W. w. DANIELS.

A PRIyATEER'S CLAIM.
The MOST REMARKABLE CASE ON
RECORD.
Wiplng Out Stain on the National Honor
The Designer Of the Present
American Flsg-hajOr erett's
Civil Service Speech.

Special Dispatch To the Philsdelphia Evening
News
WASHINGTON, March l2.-The claim
Of the owners, officers and crew OF the
priyateer General Armstrong was unan-
imously reported this morning in favor
of the claimants by the Committee on
Foreign Affairs of the House by the
Hon. Benjamin Wilson, OF West Vir-
ginia. The Committee on Foreign Re-
lations of the Senate, through Senator
Pendleton of Ohio, has also made a
unanimous report in favor OF these par
ties. The historical facts and diplomat.
ic negotiation of this case against Portu-
gal make it one of the most remarkable
on record. 1t appears from the reports
that the Government OF the United
States prosecuted this claim for thirty
years without the knowledge that after
the battle of the British fleet at Fayal In
1914, which destroyed the Armstrong,
both Portugal and England made apollo
gies tothis government, and the iormer
admitted its liability. This accounts for
thelong delay oithis claim and adds to the
wrongs suffered by the claimants. This
government finally submitted the claim
TO the arbitration of Louis Napoleon. The
claimants were debarred the right OF
submitting any argument in their be-
half, nor were they represented by
the American minister at Paris, but their
important evidence was wholly exclud-
ed. On this ground the United States
government has become liable, and 1t Is
due to the efforts OF Senator Pendleton
and Representative Wilson that this
matter has been thoroughly investiga-
tod by reporting a bill in favor OF the
claimants, thus wipIng out q stain on
the national honor which has so long
been a disgrace to the government. 1t
now remains for Congress to complete
the efforts of these distinguished states
men by the passage of the bill and thus
render that justice which has SO long
been denied the claimants. Captain
Reid, who commanded the Armstrong,
and who defended his flag 81 gallantly
and added to the renOwn OF the Amerl-
can powers, besides rendering such inn
portant services to his country, also de-
signed the present American flag as
adopted 10y Congress in 1918.

THE CHOICE OF OHIO.

Pittsburgh Dispatch.
John Il. Thompson, of Ohio, known
to fame and politicians as JOngee, was
in the city Yesterday afternoon.
81 have been at the meeting OF the
State Committee, said Mr.. Thompson,
'and am now on my way back to Wash
ington, for which city | will leave this

said our ignorant employe, "and cannot
solve your puzzle. But do you think
Tilden will be nominated2"
IL think not. ! am sure he should

State Committee on Thursday"

THE IRON WORK ERS.
The strike by Eastern Puddlers.
How Pittsburghsrs Look at


Pittsburgh Post.
The iron manufacturers OF the east
are now coming in Tor their share OF
trouble. as will be noticed by the report
of strikes published in our telegraphic
columns this morning. The eastern
pudllers have struck for an advance oi
81 per ton. Heretofore they were Iet,
ting 81 The manufacturers offered
them - 81 per ton, but they refused to
accept For some weeks past the pud-
dlers i'm this city, and in the mills west
O, here. have been getting ~ %
per ton, and the eastern workmen
have now decided that their employers
shall pay wages more nearly equal To
the rates at Western points. The strike
seems to have been inaugurated simuI
taneously in the Eastern towns, nom
which 1t has been inferred here that ihe
Eaa.ern workmen have joined the Amal.
gamatcd Association Of Iron AMI Steel
Workers. which body Regulates wages
in the West. This suppOsiuon could
not be verified last night.
some of the Eastern manufacturers
ar, of the opinion thar a general strike
i to be inauguratcj IN all sections, II
s3yires received at this office last night
be correct, hut they are mistaken IN this
view The irOu workers here are all
satisfied with their wages, aud there
will be no strike here.
The strike in the East may prove OF
nro6t 10 our home manufacturers. here
toiore the Eastern people have generally
enioyed certain advantages from strikes
in the West, and the Western men think
thsir turn il now at hand. Some fears
we're recently expressed here that the
rs,,snt advance in the price OF iron TO 4
cents per pound wSs too high. These
isars Aere based on the present inis IN
the iron market. Since the rumor OF
probable decline Was sent out

louisville have all held meetings, re-

ceptable to all Republicans. "To
whom did they refer" asked, and he
replied, "To Washburne." Wash
burne," said he, "has not been

"Do you think" asked, "that Grant

he had set out to be frank in our
talk and yet he evidently disliked to ex-
press his real sentiments fully in reply

Finally, he replied: 81 think the
chances are against Grants carrying
Ohio, and do not think it at all certain
that either can carry New York. New

specialize the Register.
WNsHINGToS, March 10.
The in igment is that all the Demo
Gratis oi the Ways ami Means Commit
tee will vote Tor placing paper pulp and
other materials used in the manufacture
ot paper on the Tree list, and that the
Republicans will vote against It. The
newspaper men and the manufacturers
have both malC lame eases IN the argu-
ments so lar made before the committee.
For example, the former say that you
can buy pulp in sweden and Norway
Tor a cent aul half pound, and that
with au AL valorrm duty uf only 20
per cent, very little Is ever imported,
aud vet they say this pulp ln the INT
ted States sells at from three and han
L. four cents a pound. Now, the ques-
tiun arises, why will capitalists invest
la four per cent. bonds when there Is
such an inviting margin on paper pulp!
Ca the other hand the manufacturers
fail to show why they want TINS 20 per
cent. kept on foreign pulp. Ii they
asked for one hundred per cent. there
would he some protection. They evinct
a dread that Canada will, IN the event
pulp is put upon the Tree list, overrun
the United States with this article.

THE sUoAR:TARIFF
How Il Looks To-day

special tO the Register.
WAsWNGroN, March Ii.
One of the ablrst members OF either
House, AMI one who knows more OF
tariff matters than any one that | have
met here, said to me to-day, You may
set it as settled that either there will be
no change in the sugar tariff or there
will b. a uniform rate OF duty ON ali
sugar under IS. Ii there is no change
then the frauds now complained ot by
which sugar is classified, because oi It's
color, as under 7, which ought In pay
duty as above !, will he repealed. IT,
however, there is uniform duty on all
under IS. there will be no chance ot
fraud. Then there will he Just rs
much sugar imported, and Just as
much revenue realized as under the
present tariff, while the rCtiners viii not
be i'm the least hurt. IL Is suScepihe
0i proof. however, that thls UNIFORM
rate on sugars under IS, will warrant
reduction of duty on all the sugars above
l3. known as the diStributive sugars,
without detriment To the Tehners and to
the great advantage of consumers. In
the discussion OF the sJNar question, tue
fact that MIR. sherman by 4 department
order, has been using the polariSeOpe
since last July, Is not often adverted To,
and it is assumed that this instrument
has to be adopted by act OF Congress be-
lore it can be used. think II It would
test alike in Cuba, Oemarara, NrS
York and elsewhere, then Il would be
most desirable. But it looks to me,
after hearing a great deal in regard to IT..
that it will enable United states gov
ernment officials to discriminate as be
tween importers. Then a dealer buy
ing sugar In Cuba testing 9l by the po-
lariscope there, may be charged duty at
New York on sugar testing ~, because
