SPECIAL Ttlegrdm 10 ne Register
WASHINGTON, June 6.-The appoint
ment of A. B. White, of ParkersbuTg, as
Collector Of Internal Revenue for West
Virginia, was announced from the White
House this evening
J. F. Stone wss endorsed by West Vir-
ginis Republicans for postmaster at RaveEs
wood, jackson county, and the appoint
ment was promised him. When his COM
mission was about to be issued a note was
received from President Harrison, direct
ing that no change be made at Ravens
wood until he should order it. he gave
no reason for his interposition, but con-
fined himself to the order. E. @. Smith is
the present postmaster there.
W. B. Maxwell, of st. George, is here
on business.
Ex-senator Camden arrived in Washing
ton yesterday from Baltimore. He called
upon President Harrison and Secretary
Window, with both Of whom be served in
the Senate. Mr.. Camden says his calls
were purely social. He was most cordially
received by the President, who abruptly
left delegation of Baltimore Republicans
to greet the ex-senator The Baltimore
people were urging an appointment and
they were indignant at being deserted for a
Democrat. The leader remarked sfter-
wards that if President Harrison shows
more respect to a leading Democrat than TO
men Of his own party who worked for his
success he need never run again. There
were thirty of the Baltimore Republicans
and they returned home in an indignant
frame of mind.
Speaking OF the ruin OF the canal as a
water way ex-senator Camden said that no
doubt a railroad would be constructed
along the lines. He could not say whether
the West Virginia Central would make an
effort to obtain the canal route or not. He
said, however, that that company is fully
alive to the importance Of extending It's
road to Georgetown, but it might not care
to acquire the canal. For his part be
Thought it would be wiser TO build on
higher ground above the danger Of over
flow. Now that the science Of bridge
building has been so perfected, and that
good bridges can be constructed at COM
psratively small cost, he would say that
the better plan would be for the West Vir-
ginia Central to come to Georgetown in a
straight line, crossing the Potomac at the
bends, it would then have a route abso-
lutely safe from high water. He added
that the West Virginia Central once at
tempted to get control of the canal, but
the Baltimore and Ohio got majority Of
the improvement bonds.

said this evening that it would be found
absolutely necessary to have the decom-
posing bodies at Johnstown cremsted to
prevent the pollution Of water and spread
of disease. He had no doubt the unrecog-
nized bodies would be burned anyhow, but
as time passes away decomposition in
creases, the necessity for incineration
would become imperstiyely necessary.

there was probably unknown 10 the officers
of the garrison. 1t was. therefore. earnestly
urged that this man he instantly removed,
and in order that this might be done the dis
charge of the motor-bomb would be post
pored half an hour.
The officer received this message and was
disposed to look upon it rs n new trick, but
us NJ time was to be lost he sent a corporal's
guard to the fort aud there discovered an
Irish sergeant by the nan OF Kilsey. who had
sworn an oath that if every other man in the
fort ran away like a lot of Anticipated sheep
he would not run with them; he would stand
TO his po,t to the las, and when the couple of
ships outside had got through bombarding the
stout wall, of the fort the word would see
that there was at least one British soldier who
was not afraid Of n bomb, be it little or big.
Therefore he had managed to elude observa-
ton and to remain behind.
The sergeant was SO hot-headed in his de-
CURED violence to remove him and it was
not until 100 that the Syndicate observers
perceived that he had been taken to the hill
behind which the garrison was encamped.
As it had been decide d that Repeller No. Q
should discharge the next instantaneous
motor-bomb, there was an anxious desire on
the part of the operators on that vessel that
in this, their first experience, they might do
their duty as well as their comrades on
board the other repoller had done theirs. The
most accurate observations, the most careful
calculations, were made and remade, the
point to be aimed at being about the CEN
tire of the fort.
The motor bomb had been in the cannon
for nearly an hour and everything

dead or stunned upon the ground, and peo-
pie On elevations at considerable distances
felt as if they had received O blow; but there
was no trembling of the ground.
As to the fort. it had entirely disappeared,
its particles having been nstantaneously re-
moved to a great distance in every direction,
falling over such a vast expanse of land and
and water that their descent was unobserv-
able.
In the place where the fortress had stood
there was a wide tract of bare eartn, which
looked rs If it had been scraped into a staring
dead level of gravel and clay. The instanta-
neous motor-pomb had been arranged to act
almost horizontally.
Few persons except those who from q dis
lance had been watching the fort with glasses
understood what had happened, but every
one in the city and surrounding country was
conscious that something had happened of
most startling kind. and that 1t was over in
the same instant in which they had perceived
it. Everywhere there was the noise of falling
window-glass. There were those who as
serted TINT for an instant they had heard in
the distance a grinding crash, and there were
others who were quite sure that they had
noticed what might be called a fash of dark
ness, as if something had, with almost unap-
preciable quickness, passed between them
and the sun.
When the officers Of the garrison mounted
the hill before them and surveyed the place
where their fort had been, there was not one
OF them who had sufficient command of him-
self to write a report of what had happened.
They gazed at the bare, staring t1atness of the
shorn bluff, and they looked at each other.
This was not war. 1t was something super
natural. awful They were not frightened;
they were oppressed and appalled,. But the
military discipline of their minds soon ex-
erted its force, and a brief account of the ter
rife event was transmitted to the authorities,
and Sergt. Kilsey was sentenced to q month
in the guard-house.
No one approached the vicinity of the BLUFF
where the fort had stood, for danger might
not be over ; but every possible point Of OBJ
servation within a safe distance was soon
provided with anxious and terrified observers.
A feeling of awe was noticeable everywhere.
If people could have had q tangible idea Of
what had occurred, it would have been diff
ferent. If the sea had ragged if q vast body
of water had been thrown into the air; If q
dense cloud had been suddenly elected from
the surface of the earth, they might have
formed some opinion about it. But the instan-
taneous disappearance of q great fertilization
with a little more appreciable accompaniment
than the sudden tap, as of q little hammer.
] upon thousands of window panes, was some
thing which their intellects could not grasp.
1t was not to be expected that the ordinary
mind could appreciate the difference between
the action of an instantaneous motor when
imbedded in rocks and earth, and its effect,
when opposed by nothing but stone walls.

in America looked upon the affair of the
crabs and the repellers as but All incident in
the beginning of n great and disastrous war.
On the morning after the destruction OF
Fort Pitcher the Syndicate's vessels moved
towards the port, and the steel net was taken
up by The two erals and moved nearer the
mouth of the harbor, at a point from which
the fort, now in process of evacuation, was
in full view. When this had been done, Re-
pcller No. 2took up her position at a moderate
distance behind the net and the other vessels
stationed themselves near by.
The protection of the net was considered
necessary, for although there could De no
reasonable doubt TINT all the %torpedoes in the
harbor and river had been exploded. others
might be sent ont against tue Syndicate's YES
sells, and a torpedo under a crab or q repeller
was the enemy most feared by the Syndicate.
About 3 O'Clock the signals between the re-
pelIers became very frequent, and soon after
wards q truce boat went out from Repeller

but it was obliged TO go much further Ut the
harbor than on previous occasions in order
TO deliver its message to an officer of the gar
rison.
This was to the effect that the evacuation Of

States before the repellers and the crabs, and
it had been engaged in laying a private sub
marine cable, which should put the Office
OF the Syndicate in New York in direct com
munication with its naval forces engaged with
the enemy. Telegraphlc connection between
the cable boat aud Repeller No. l hav-
ing been established the Syndicate soon re-
ceived from its Director in Chief full and
comprehensive accounts of what had been
done. and what it was proposed to do. Great
was the satisfaction among the members OF
the Syndicate when these direct and official
reports came III. Up to this time they had
been obliged te depend upon very unsatis-
factory intelligence communicated from Eu-
rope, which had been supplemented by wild
statements and rumors struggled across the
Canadian border.
To counteract the effect of these a full re-
port was Immediately made by the Syndicate
TO the Government of the United States, and
a bulletin distinctly describing what had
happened was issued TO the people of
the country. These reports, which re-
ceived a worldwide circulation IN the
newspapers, created a popular citation in the
United States, and gave rise TO serious appre'
tensions and concern in many other conn
tries. But under both citation and concern

mystical bomb he was expected to march to q
place of safety with all his forces. If this
should be done it would not be long before
these crafty fellows would occupy the fort,
and with its great guns turned inland, would
hold the city at their mercy. There could
be no greater insult to q soldier than TO sup
pose that he could be guilty Of q trick like
this.
No thought of actual danger entered
the mind of the commandant. 1t had
been easy enough TO sink a great tor
pedo IN the harbor, and the unguarded bluffs
of Fort Pitcher offered every opportunity to
the scoundrels who may have worked at their
mines through the nights of several months.
But a mine under the fort which he COM
manded was an impossibility its guarded out
posts prevented any such method OF attack.
At a bomb, or q dozen, or hundred OF the
Syndicate's bombs he snapped his fingers.
He could throw bombs as well.
Nothing would please him better than that
those ark-like ships in the ofing should come
near enough for an artillery fight. "A few
tons of solid shot and shell dropped on top
of them might be a very conclusive answer to
their impudert demands.

were weak. What would happen when the
great naval power of Great Britain should be
brought TO bear upon the Syndicate was u
question whose probable nnswe was likely
to cause apprehension and concern in the
United States and elation in many other
countries.
The ommcncement of active hostilities
had been precipitated by this Syndicate. In
England preparations were making by day
and by night 20 send upon the coast
lines of the United States a fleet which,
in numbers and power. would be greater
than that of my naval expedition
in the history of the world. 1t is no
wonder that many people of sober judgment

When the orders for evacuation reached the
commandant of the fort he protestedly holly
and urged that his protest be considered. 1t
was not until the command had been %reiter-
ated both from London and Ottawa that he
accepted the situation, and with bowed head
prepared to leave his post. All night prcpa-
rations for evacuation went on, ami durlpg

and established itself far enough away to pre-

but near enough to be available in case of
necessity.
During his morning there arrived in the

started from u northern part of the United
The evening world., 1889-01-19

The letter brought by the truce-boat
was read by the commandment, surrounded by
his officers. 1t stated that in twenty-four
hours from time of writing il. which would be
at or about A o'clock on the next afternoon, q
bomb would be thrown into the garrisoned
fort, under the command of the officer I'D
dressed. AS this would result in the entire
destruction of the fertilization, the COM
mandant was earnestly counselled to evacuate
the fort before the hour specified.
Ordinarily the commandant of the fort was
OF a calm and unexcltable temperament.
During the astounding events of that day and
the dav before he had kept his head cool his
Judgment, if not correct, was the result of
sober and earnest consideration. But now he
lost his temper. The unparalleled efrontery
and impertinence of this demand of the
American Syndicate was too much for his
self-possession. He stormed in anger.
Here was the elimination of the knav-
ish trickery of these conscienceless pi-
rates who had attacked the port. A
torpedo had been exploded in the harbor, an
unfinished fort had been mined and blown
up and all this mac been done to frighten
