MleAN's HATRED OF PENDLETON.
An ohio COBgressman Denies the story
Of Blighted NJ striIuonial Hopes.

n
Of BliRhted Matrimonial Hopes.
WASHINGTON, January II iW.-Ii-e
member of Congress from Ohio, who is
always accurate in what he says, said to
night: you've heard the story that the
cause of John McLean's hatred for and hos
tility to Senator Pendleton was the refusal
of Senator Perdleton's daughter to marry
Mclean, or Senator Pendleton 5 refusal to
permit his daughter 10 marry Mclean.
Well, there's nothing in it, and I'll tell you
how know. About a month ago the Dem
ocratic Congressman from Ohio and Sena-
tor Penteton held a con ference in the Sen.
ator's committee room at the Capitol. We
tslked about the situation in OHIO, and, of
course, McLean's hostility to Pend eton was
mentioned. The cause Of 1t was also dis
cu>sed. One man mentioned one thing
npd another something else, until finally
ole gentleman said directly to Senator
7. ndieton: Il have heard that John Nc.
Ia an is opposed to you because you refused
mm admission TO your house when he
rsme 10 see your daughter. fendleton
in mediately replied: Il have never refused
chm Mclean admission to my house and
he has never applied for it. He has never
c, lied at nv house to see my daughter, and
[ ont think my daughter and Mclean are
even acquainted. There is absolutely no
',undation for that story / think that

enorant of tie cause for McLesn's hostil.

4iout McLrsn's b!ighted matrimonial
horea is not new. 1t was circu ated in
Ohio six months ago and l always sup,
pnsed until the Senator made his denIa'
that this was the reason for McLean's or
position. I don't know of any reason for
il whatever"

IMPROVEMENT Of LITTLE KaNAwHA
, tne Government Hampered BY Pri
vate Interests.
Special 10 the Reoister.


WstHYGroE, January l7,-Talking over
the pnbsb!e appropriations for the benefit
of West Virginia streams with Congress
man Gibson of the Fourth District yester-
day, be spoke OF the probable necessity OF
purchase b. the general government Of the
private Improvements on the Little Kama
wha already made by the Little KanawhA
improvement Company. The last appro-
priations made by Congress for that stream
are tied up ~ a provision made in the act
OF Appropriation that DO portion OF the SUM
set apart shall be expended until the COM
pany now owning and operating the i'm
provement, at the lower end Of the river
shall ceie them to the general gov
ernment. These Improvements, which
were, believe, projected and established
mainly by GEN. Jackson, father OF your
present governor, now furnish slack water
navigation as far as Burning Springs, up
wards OF thirty miles from the mouth OF
the river. Major Dellicker, who is probably
more corversunI with the affairs of the com
pany ovnirg The works told me some time
since thstthe company would willingly turn
over it's property to the 'nited States II the
latter would assume the bonded indebted
ness of the concern, which is now pe1N"ps
equal TO The valne Of the improvements,b but
did not, OF course, propose TO give up its
property without providing for the latter
The situation as it stands is that the gov
erpmant is unwilling to put in any more
money or the upper end of the stream
while the lower end is paying tribute to
private corporation. Every dollar put IN
above If course tends to increase business
on TIE river and increase the value and
irCoA,e nj the private Improvements below,
ar d If it ia really IplenGed to make the
river q practicable and free highway 81
commerce from its upper waters 20 its
mouth at any time. it would be easier to
get rid of tie private ownership now at
tached to a portion Of it than it would be
hereafter when its upper portion was i'm
proved by the Government, and the value
OF the priyste frsnchise on lis lower por
tion was Consequently increased.
Capt. Gibson thought the demands OF
public policy would ultimately make II
4 free stream sgain, either by purchase or
of the rights under which
tolls were now laid, and that the Govern
ment would put in the additional work
necessary TO make the river available
throughout. The danger is that its full i'm
provement is likely to be delayed by the
continuance of jus: such complications as
now embsrrass it. IL
