WASHINGTON, d, O., July 29,-United

Leonard was denied to-day and TO might

concerned decline 10 be interviewed, but
there seems to be an understanding that
Senators Camden and Kenna will jointly
recommend Mr.. Watts tomorrow and that
ho will be the sppointse, The best Of
feeling exists among the applicants, and,
so far the contest has been conducted in o
most friendly spirit,
Mr., Leonard has stated to your cores
pondent that the matter has not yet been

am informed that the matter has been
carefully canvas4ed by the Senators, and
that they will make a recommendation
that will not only bs satisfactory TO all
parties Immediately interested but will
preserve harmony among the Democrats
OF the State.
All three Of the candidates express
themselves as being willing to abide by
the decision OF the two Senators. Your
correspondent, from talks he has had with
those who are In y position to know de-
ducts the opinion that Watts will receive
the appointment.
Ex-senator Davis has made a gallant
6ght for his friend Daley, but as the mat
tor now stands it LOOKS as though the TWO
Senators will be able to overeach him.
at a late hour tonight 1t was stated
that the whole matter has been amiCably
arranged, but l am unable to state def
nitely who the lightning has struck. The
sigma are that it is General Watts. The

OF. They Borrowfully gazed up at the

Commissioner lay, and when the body
was placed in tho hearse all bats
were removed as by one common i'm:
pulse, and q procession was formed
which slowly followed tho hearse

the twelve pall.bearers, wore conducted
by the Rev. Samuel s. Seward, pastor OF

came from Tammahy Hall 10 pay their
last tribute to their old political opponent.
The funeral procession entered the
chapel Of lO:45 AM The ediGCe was filled
with prominent citizens gathered 10 do
honor 10 the memory Of their deceased
friend and political associate. In the con.
pregation were eminent judges, bankers,

A COMMUNICATION from the Dean Of the
Faculty OF Jefferson Medical College ap-
pears to-day. II that old and honorable
institution OF learning needed to be set
straight in West Virginia the statement Of
Dr.. BArtholow ought to do 1t.
There is at least one peculiar feature in
the case which lioH at tho bottom Of this
affair Tie State Board OF Health permits
sphysician to practice before he attends
the jefferson College. When this physi'
clan comes home with a Jefferson diplo'
ms, the Board declares that this man
ought not to have baen graduated, and re-
solves that hereafter IL will not recognize
the diploma Of the Jefferson Medical COL
lege.
IilhO diploma ought not to have been
granted, certainly the physician in ques-
ton ought not to have been permitted by
tho Board TO practice within its iuriSdic'
ton. II he was not well enough read in
mOlicinO to entltle him to a diploma he
was nosQualiGed to practice his profession.
We arc unable to see tho strength OF the
Boards position, for It tcondemns college
for doing what 1t had already practically
done itseli.

SOME LOCAL OPINIONS


OF the Submission IlesOlutlOn-EciIOes Oi
tho Conference,
A meeting Of the Republican State
Executive Committee was held at Parkers.
burg Wednesday evening after the general
conference. Chairman Cowdsn presided
and Secretary scoAeld was in his place.
Mr.. William Vandervoort, OF Wood
county, was appointed member Of the
Committee, vice W. L. Cole, and Mr.. F.
NJ. Reynolds, Of Mineral, was chosen to till
the vacancy caused by tho resignation Of
Hon. I. u. Carskadon.
Tho Committee decided 10 issue an I'D.
dress covering the questions OF the day, in
line with the viows expressed by the con.
ference.
The action Of the conference in adopt.
ing the resolution offered by Hon. John
A. Hutchinson and amended by Ex.
Postmaster Scott OF Parkersburg, In re.
gard to the submission OF a prohibitory
amendment, waa the main topic OF con.
yersation about town yesterday. Many
heartily approved the resolution, while
some as heartily condemned 1t. The pro.
portion OF sentiment for and against
among the Republicans OF Wheeling
seemed 10 be about tho same as In tho
conference. One prominent Republican
said that when he first heard Of the &C.
ton he was mad. But when he read the
full report Of the proceedings In the
1NrRLLidRNCRR, the discussion and tho
different expressions considered, he con.
Cluded that the best thing had been done,
g. W. Baggs, the we'll known temper.
anCe worker, who 10 "a Republican from
wayback," said last night that he thought
the conference had done the right thing
II was oil that any reasonable temperance
man could or would have expected or
asked. He did not see how any Conslst.
ent, reasonable advocate Of prohibition
could act in opposition 10 the Republican
party In this State under the existing cir.
cutnstanCes.
W. ]. w. Cowden, Chairman ol the
Committee, laughed at the Registers re.
port yesterday, and said a newspaper man
who couldn't do any better on that con.
ference than the Register man did was not
worth four cents q week. A number OF
Democrats were interested spectators oil
the conference al different times, and
around the hotels the proceeding were
freely and publicly Conyassed. An on.
terpflBlng reporter could have stolen q
verbatim report and not half tried.
Said q prominent Republican last night:
"oh, guess that thing had 10 come sooner
OF. later, and there was no Use In lodging
II now. believe the submission feSolu.
ton will help uS all over the State, and no
doubt II will hurt uB SOME bore, bat have

however, gives rise TO new hope Of q

question will be, how 10 get on with tho

The appointment OF Lord Iddesleiph as
Secretary for Foreign Affairs, is applaud-
cd by every one, even tho moderate
Liberals admitting It's excellence, but the
enthugiasm over the appointment OF the
Marquis Of Londonderry as ViCeroy Of
Ireland is by no means marked. Lord
