EX-CONSUL PENDLRTON.
A Pleasant Chat With the Gentleman Las

A Pleasant Oh It With the Gentleman Last
Evening.
Mr.. Harry Pendleton, ex U. s. Consul
to southampton, EnglOnd, as announced
yesterday, returned Sunday from the Est,
whence he came from his late place Of resi-
depce. Mr.. PendletOn looks as if English
climate sgreed with him. He left South
ampton in September, having held the Of
fee of Consul for two years and five
months. Mr. Bradley, of New Cumber-
land, succeeds him. When queried as TO
his sojourn in Southampton, Mr. Pendle-
ton said
"Well, there is little 10 tell. South
ampton is a very quiet place, and my stay
there was quiet accordingly. The place
mas a population OF about IS, 600 and is a
great place for travellers, who pass through
on their way to the Isle OF Wight and
other points.
at would be hard to describe TO you the
customs OF the people, because society is
on such q different basis from what it is
in America. However, political lines are
sharply drawn, and in this there is some
resemblance to American habits. Still,
everything is done so differently that it
would consume a good deal of epace and
time to give people here comprehensive
idea Of English customs.
Southampton is not manufacturing
city by any means, as it is far removed
from the coal supply, and then it is not
far from London. II erjoys large trade
with France, South America and other
countries, but there il little or no direct
trade with the United States.
The county round about is quite fine
and the climate is very pleasant after one
becomes accustomed to it, The first year
of my stay there thought it rather dis
agreeable, but afterwards found it quite
healthy. In winter it is quite cold and
penetrating, while you are still, but when
moving about the cold is not nearly SO
noticeable 10 fact. it is about as healthy
along the South coast as it is any place in
England.
"Yes, made numerous trips TO London
and France Bnd took a trip up through
Scotland, visiting Glasgow and Edin-
burgh, aud | also made a trip through
Belgium. The laws of the country are
very strict regarding correspondence, and it
ia dangerous for a man holding en- official
position TO even write to his friends in
America anything concerning public sf-
fairs. One would not think it, but London
is a very quiet place on Sundays. Some
parts are even as quiet az Wheeling on the
Sabbath day. What would be known asa
saloon here is called public house there,
and they are allowed to keep open certain
hours on Sunday. The whole fact of the
matter is that an American cannot compre-
hend on what an entirely different prin-
ciple affairs are conducted in England
from that OF America, and it is hard to
explain. l am glad TO get back to Wheel
ing, and fad quite a good deal Of improve
ment in the city. No, have not definitely
decided what shall do yet. Good night.
Maybe I'll tell you more some other time"

special praise as clever comedian, and
his rendition of that character was all
that could be desired. The entire cast

of the ecsnery and scenic effects, which
have never been surpassed on the stage Of

Special Telegrsm TO the Register.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, December q
The announcement that the city of Wheel
ing had appointed q special committee Of
business men to call on Gov. Wilson snd
urge the importance Of including the
Wheeling electric light measure in his call
for the extra session, created considerable
comment here. There is little or no rea-
sln 10 believe that Gov. Wilson will
change Liz announced intention not to
name any local legislation in the call. II
any exception to this rule is made, it will
be in favor of the people of Clsrksburg,
who ask that steps be Immediately taken
to prevent the deposit of poisonous mat
ter from the Weston insane asylum in the
West Fork river, from which Clarksburg
draws her water supply. This is re-
garded as a matter of the utmost import.
ance, and Gov. Wilson may make an 6x-
ceptiOn in its favor.
GOOD REASON FOR HIS COURSE.
There is ample justification for bis posi-
tion in regard to the Wheeling and other
local bills. he has been flooded with i'm
poftuDities, both in person and by letter,
in favor of local measures for every section
of the State, and it ia simply impossible to
include even a small number Of them in
the call. It would be an invidious task to
choose few measures from the many and
make q distinction in their favor. Il ia
also pointed out that the obj ect Of an ex-
ira session as contemplated in the OOnsti-
tuition is not to dispose of general legisla-
tioD, but only those highly important mat
ters which cannot be postponed without
serious ipjury. 1t is, therefore. highly
probable that the mission Of the Wheeling
gentlemen will be fruitless. OF course,
they will receive courteous hearing, but
there is little Likelihood that they will be
successful.
