plain statement that the Senate in reducing

similar reductions on metals In the more

the Senate did great injustice to the iron
interests In the West by putting pig iron
down to So per ton and voting to bring in
the best material for the Eastern rolling
mills in the shape ofNGnt iron and steel,
railway bans and other material called

Senators Allison and Morrill,, both mem-
befs Of the Finance Committee, spoke very
warmly on this subject. Mr.. Allison said
II tue blast furnaces Of the West were
compelled TO close because OF u failure 10
put IN extra tax Of fS cents per ton on pig
iron, 1t was an evidence they were not To-

WArKRTowS, n. Y, January 2G.-The
details Of desperate encounter with bear
have been received from Hamilton county.
John Walton, farmer living on the out.
skirts Of the grea. northern wilderness, had
been engaged In drawing bark from the
woods to a neighboripg ;annery. One day
he was startled to see huge black bear
leisurely ambling down the hillside and
coming directly toward him. The horses
were making desperate though Intellectual
efforts to free themselves and their move
ments attracted Bruins attention. Raising
upon his launches he proceeded 10 take
survey of the intrudeH. Walton
stepped to the rear OF his load and
grasped his gun. II@tily slipping in
cartridge he took deliberate aim at the
breast OF the bear and fired. The bullet
struck him squArely on the nose and plow.

bear, ,enmged with pain, dropped down upon
all iouB and made for bis assailant. Wal.
ton had only five or six cartridges left.
These he inserted in his rifle and discharg.
ed them US rapidly as possible at the ami.
NAL. Although II was evident that several
OF the balls had taken effect, they failed TO
stop the beast. As a last resort Walton
threw down bis rifle and, seiEing his axe,
aimed vigorous blow at bruin, who was
now at close quarters and had raised upon
his hind quarters preparatory 10 embracing
him. The bear was TOO quick for him,
however. One cutT from his huge paw and
the axe was sent whirling into the bushes
several rods distant. Walton now thought
that his days were numbered. After II
brief struggle everything seemed TO grow
lark and he became unconscious.
During the melee the horses succeeded
In breaking loose and running away Late |

ANoSO certain recommendations 10 the
Pnsiden. Of the Board Of Regents Of the
West Virginia University, President and
Congressman.elcct Wilson calls attention
10 what has been done since June last, and
makes some suggestions for the future.
The University has been divided into ten
schools, eacr In charge Of professor.
President Wilson thinks there should be
two more professors for the existing schools,
and two more for a school Of medicine yet
TO 10 established. We are in
formed that last fall the University
opened with 40 students, which number
las now dropped to seventy. The figures
may not be exact. Certainly the Legisla.
ture can learn the number who have left,
aud at the same time the reason. 1t has
l4en charged that loyal young men, the
sOns Of loyal fathers, have left the Univer-
tity because Of It's Confederate tone and
teaching. II concerns the Legislature and
,lle people to know whether this Is true.
The IxrELllaEScER does not know that 1t
ir, and hopes u Is NOT, true. The Fairmont
IIoa I'irgmim says it Is ready with proof.
Ten teachers, ins,ruc,ing seventy young
man in false dOctrine-a teacher to every
seven students-can do great deal oi
harm. There Is solid Democratic Board
OF Regents, and this is a lit,ie lopsided for
d State institution Of learning.

LONDON, January 9G,-The Tuna in an

NEw YoRE, January 2G.-W. S. Walcott
evidently Is In bad way. Whether his con.
dition is entirely due to quail diet or to too
much gin and bit,ers, or 10 both, is ques.
tion. When he appeared at Gabe CaSe's
to-day his step was still unsteady and bis
eyes dull. He walked up and down in
front Of Gabe's, leaning on the arm of his
attendant When the eighteenth brace Of
quRil were set steaming upon the table,
Walcott did not fly to eat them. On the
contrary, he fingered. His attendant went
to the bar and returned with very small
dose Of gin and bilters. This Mr. Walcott
put away. Still he fingered, and finally,
with an air Of disgust and WEAKNESS, sat
sat down and mechanically ate the birds.
He didn't relish them and he devoted
twenty minutes TO their consumption. A
bet Of twenty-five dollars was made that
he. would fall before the twenty.lith day.
Case Is very confident that he will fail and
II looks very much that way now.

adopted by the pilots themselves and al.
ways worked satisfactorily. A few years ago,
however, the Board oi Inspectors, for some
reason, ordered change, and since that

increased. The pilots demonstrated time
