In compliance with = request of some

chiefs and braves who were in town last
week to meet agent Sheehan gave war
dance on the green at the west end of
Oak street. A crowd of seyaral hundred,
mostly women and children, gathered to
see them. A half dozen bucks pounded
the bass drum and "hi-yi-hi.ya'ed while
a dozen others, with faces hideously
painted, danced and capered about them,
comforting and grimacing. One old
fellow, apparently the "belle OF the
ball" was gorseeusly arrayed in a calico
shirt, some red, paint and breech.clout.
If he had lett off the shirt he would
been properly clad (or unclad) to take
part in a regulation war drnce, which
fact was surprise to many who atten-
ded A collection was taken up and
about $40 was given to the Indians for
their kindness in showing the whites
how they used to celebrate successful
raid on the Sioux Indians.

And Gives Peculiar Reasons TherefOr-A
Card from Navarro.
NEW YORK, August l2-Gen. Daniel
f. Sickles said last night in regard to the
probability of war between the United
States and Mexico, that IN outbreak SEEM
cd to him likely TO occur at any moment.
I'm comparison with the United States, "
said he, "Mcxico is 4 feeble power, very
much inferior in military, nav.si and timan-
cial resources. My solution of the prob
lem is that Mexico would IKE Ia repeat
the manruvrc of Santa Aisha in 1Si6.
She knows that if we take afSlice of Chi
hauhau, Sonora and Lower California, We
would take territory Valualsc to us and
valuclesS to her, ana that we Flight, aS We
did in 1SIG, pay handsomely Eor the terri
tory taken.
Public opinion in Mexico would not
permit that government to sell this terri
tory by any pcaceable transaction or treaty.
Indeed, il Diaz and his Cabinet proposed
it, they would be hanged; but if, say $50
OOO, 600 in gold can be drawn into the Mex
lean treasury after II campaign or two, with
the loss of few OF her No! hcrn States,
Mexico would accept the sitiatiOn as she
has done before. She is SOr&3y in need of
a sum like this. The mOncE markets of
the world are barred against per, and the
ONLY way she can raise fulsds is to sell
land. DiaZ and Romero ase intelligent
men, and they undoubtedly Aesire Il con-
ilict for the reasons have gi$cn.
NAVARRO INCORRECTLY REPORTED.
The Mexican Consul General writes to Il
morning paper denying the correctness of
the language attributed to him in a report
of a recent interview. lie was reported to
have said that in case OF war the United

me to say that the reporter i.iisintcrpreted

nation has more pOpulatiOn-553 against II

Held Yesterday.
After a good deal of preliminary skir-
mishing about for members, quorum OF
the Board OF Commissioners was got to-
gether ut = o'clock yesterday afternoon,
the object beinga renewal of the discussion
regarding the proposed right of way of the
Natural Gas Company OF West Virginia
through the poor house farm. Those pres
ent were MeSsrs. Peterson, Stoker, Stein,
Picket, Maxwell and Boring. Mr.. Peter
son the chair, and then the Board put in
about an hour in endeavOring Ia get the
natural gas people before them. Mr.. Davis,
the engineer Of the company, was finally
pressed into service as a messenger, and ut

by Mr.. Alfred Caldwell. Something like

Mr.. Hearne reading the emuch-amended ord
nance. 1t provided for running partly along
the county road near the poor farm, and
Marty through an adjoining field, the latter

through Fulton down what is called Fulton

amended in some unimportant Particular
and passed. The ordinance closed with :
proyiso that the company should furnish

Of the Board Of Commissioners, at rate
the same as those given city CONSUMERS

RIGHT YOU ARE.
"a Detailed and Itemized Ststement'-Let
Us Have II.

To the Editor Of The Register.
SIR: You are certainly right in calling
for an ''itemized statement" from the
Board of Commissioners. There is consid-
erable uneasiness prevailing in the public
mind on account of what is believed to be
a tendency to extravaganza on the part OF
our county and city authorities. For in
stance, one official, who is member of the
Board of Commissioners, of the City Coun-
ell, and of the Gas Board, moves
that the city purchase work
of art costing S5OO-not thought to be
much of work of art after all; certain
members of Council would wish the city TO
procure ''likeneSses of all our Mayors" till
date: somebody else-supposed TO be an
oflicial-wants to have the plaza of the
Public Building turned into n lawn or
park" and still another thinks that
Wheeling could stand much heavier rate
of taxation, and thinks that now would be
a proper time to boom things"
Then the Board of COM
miSsioners is charged with letting con-
tracts without any effort to secure the
Lowest and best bidder" and Council
committees with letting contracts to ire
sponsible parties, without taking bond or
security. and advancing money too rapidly
TO the same because the contract was
taken too low''-and whose fault was it?
We hear a great deal of unpleasant talk
and il is feared not CauseleSs talk-about
rings" in the various departments of
county and city work, all of which go 10
show the people the necessity of greater
vigilance on their part. What has hap
pened in other cities and towns, and
has happened here, may occur
again. There is no intention here
to create unne NeSSary suspicion or alarm,
but merely To secure proper vigilance, for
il must be remembered that the men who
administer our affairs are but human he
ings, and Canada" is not far off. The
public should demand 'itemizcd accounts"
of all public officials and corporate author
tiles II is their legal right and boundcn
duty, and when this is refused or neglect
ed, the very fact itself furnishes ground for
suspicion that all is not right. That such
a course would he attended with some adj
dtional expense, is no excuse. The public
can much more easily stand this than To pay
the taxes necessary Ia make up deficiencies
caused by swindlers and deiaulting scoun-
drcls. Let the people demand, in every
case whcrcit is at all practicable, detailed
and itemizcd statements and that will
tend to make our public officials more
careful
The bungling manner-to put it mildly
in which the Board of Commissioners
and the City Counci! often transact their
business ought to impress upon the public
mind the Importance of putting iirSt-class
business men in those positions, and not
mere dcmagogues and pot-housc politi-
clans. That there are some worthy and
competent men in each of those bodies is
chccriully admitted; but that there is room
for improvement in the composition OF
both is equally manifest.

Beck Thinks the Secretary Has Been Too
Aggressive In the Mexican Trouble.
BALTIMORE, August l2.CThc Sun OF
to-day has the following interview with
Senator Beck on the procecdingsin Mexico
AGAINST A. X. Cutting: The Senator iu-
formed the Sun correspondent that he docs
not believe any man of ordinary intelll-
gcncc can question for one moment the
argrcssiycncSS of the present Admlnlstrl-
tion in battling with all public queS-
tions, be they foreign or domestic. lie
stated most cmphatically that there IS no
ground for dOuhting the courage of the
State Department in dealing with the Cut
ting case; on the contrary, the Senator Is
inclined to think that the Secretary OF
State, has, if fanything been too aggressive
in the Mexican matter. He says that the
United States should try to induce MeNl-
co repeal the law which renders Al Amerl
can citizen punishable in Mexico for his
utteranccs in the United States. 1t is 4
bad law, and will create mischief 50 long
rs it remains upon the Mexican statute
book; but We can not gain anything by de
claring war against Mexico, for If we did
we would simply place ourselves IN the at
titude of big man picking quarrel with
a small boy.

HURT BY THE BOYCOTT.
1T. Louis Brewers Threaten to Discharge
All Union Men.

ST. LOUIS, August l2.-The Central La
Dor Union believes that it has got at last n
genuine fighting issue with the brewers
who have been quietly testing their
strength with their union employees ever
since the latter part of May, when Senai-
der's and Stiiel's beer was bOycotted by the
union. Last night, ut the regular meet
ing of the union, Richard Schlagintweit,
delegate from the Brewers Union, of
which he Is President, read to
the Assembly a series of reSOlu-
tiOns which he said had been presented to
the brewers at their last meeting and had
been adopted and signed by all of them
except Miller Bros. The resolutions de
clared that unless The boycott WAS removed
by September every union man in their
employ would he discharged. The reSo-
lutiOnS were referred to u committee Ot
three To be presented TO the local unions
for action President Schlagintwcit said
after the meeting that the brewers had
been hurt by the boycott which will not
be removed, but be made the tirmcr.

KNIGHTS INVESTIGATING
The Charges Against the Home Cuban
Emphatic Denial.

New YORK, August 12.-The General
Assembly of the Knights of Labor in Cleve-
land appointed a committee to investigate
the charges against the home club in the
circulars of John Morrison, John K. Lloyd
and P. c. Mcguire. The members Of the
committee have come to this city and are
at a downtown hotel. There are large
number of witnesses to be examined, and
much documentary evidence will be pre-
sented. 1t is supposed that it will take
two weeks to complete the investigation,
which began to-day.
The charges are, in substance, that n
body of men in New York, headed by I.
ID. Mcguire, District Master Workman of
District No. 40; James Z. Quinn, one Of
the auxiliary members of the General Ex-
ecutiye Board, and Victor Drury formed
the Home Club, whose real purpose was
first to gain control of the labor movement
in this city, and then to get control OF the
entire order and TO run the Knights of La
Dor for their own personal ends. They
have carried out the first part OF the pro-
gramme, it is alleged, by the most ques-
tiOnable means, and have nearly succeeded
in the last. The accused members of the
the Home Club deny all the charges, and
say that they court, rather than fear, the
fullest investigation.

DENVER, August 12.-An'El PasO spec
ial this evening says: Cutting WAS again
taken from his prison and dragged before
Judge Castaneda'S Court. He WAS merely
told that the appeal taken in his
case by the lawyer who had been
appointed for him would be tried by the
Supreme Court Ofthe State of chihuahua IN
q few days, and he was asked if he desired
to have an attorney to take care OF his In
terests before that court. He replied,
rs he has always done before, that
he did not recognize the juris-
direction of the Court and was in the hands
of the American Government He was
thereupOn taken back to prison. The
chihuahua authorities continue to ignore
entirely the diplomatic entanglemens re-
sulting from this case.

british Common, ON the Cutting Case.

LONDON, August l2.-The Times, speak
ing of the Cutting case, says: The chief
difficulty in the way Of settlement OF the
matter lies in Cuttings appeal t0 the angry
passions of the Texans and the desire Of the
dormant raider on both sides Of the frontier
for an outbreak which would result IN the
restoration Of c0ntraband trade. President
Diaz, of Mexico, can have no wish for
collision with his powerful neighbor, and
he must be well aware that there are enc
mics of Mexico on both sides Of the front
ier who are clamoring for war. Mexico has
been surprisingly reasonable in dealing
with Cutting considering the proyocation
he gave, although Secretary Bayard has
been little too exacting, the action Of the
President and the Senate IL all that could
be desired. In that action lies the assnr-
apce of peace"
