Ordered to ParkersburR But no Prepara-
tiODs for the Change.
Special Telegram 10 the Register.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-Collector Nc
Graw is here in connection with the order
issued by the Department for the removal Of
collectors offices from Grafton to Parkers-
burg. The Collector, Mr.. White, was ex-
pscted to-day, but has not put in an ap-
pearance. While the order for the removal
of the Office from Grafton to Parkersburg
has been made by Commissioner Mason,
yet inquiry at the Department today de-
velOped that the new collector had not as
yet filed the bond of $4,000, or had it
been approved, or has his commission
been issued, and that while rooms have
been set apart in the Parkersburg Custom
House for the Internal Revenue service,
yet no appropriation is available for the
purchase of the necessary file cases, desks,
&C., or in fact the accommodations of the
Office. 1t would therefore seem that the
order removing the Office to Parkersburg
was made with undue haste. The De-
partment states that Mr.. McGraw, when
here this morning, signi6ed his willing
ness to concur in any order that the De-
partment might make in relation to the
removal OF the Office.
L. B. Dellicker, of Parkersburg, in the
city.
Mr.. McGraw left for Baltimore this
evening.

CHARGES AGAINST THE SENATOR
His Wife Imprisoned While He Contemplate
a Re-marriage.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Tne Sabin d.
vorce case is still exciting a great deal o
comment here. Anumber of st. Paul pee
pie have recently been visiting at the East
who are well acquainted in the Sabin cir
cles. To friends whom they met from thi
city, they said that the affair, so far as j
was understood in st. Paul, was regarded
as disgraceful to the Senator The belle
is general there that the next step will b,
another marriage, unless the public in
dlgnation, already SO much aroused, proves
a bar. No one who can lay the least claim
to knowledge believes a word of tn,
charges against Mrs. Sabin. Thest
friends declare that the divorce
WIS granted before any one among Mrs
Sabin's friends knew it had been applied
for. They were all confident that the ar
ticle furnished the New York newspaper
Sunday last, though purportiDg to have
been the statement of Mira. Sabin's next
friend, was in reality an article from the
most unfriendly hand, and really prepared
ss part OF The attempt to make out a cas-
for the Senator. These friends are exceed
ingly bitter against certain lady guests OF
Mrs. Sabin's, whom abe introduced into
the most prominent official society in Wash.
iDgton, who have been the first to turn
upon her in this case; in fact, the only onei
in Washington, except the husband, to dc
so. Meantime, allattempts made by Mrs
Sabin's Washington friends to obtain .
word from her, or to gain access to her liv.
ing tomb, have proved futile.

CAPE MAY, n. J., June 22.-Cape May
is beautiful to-day in it's elaborate display
Of bunting thrown to the breeze in honor
of the President of the .. S. About ten
o'clock this morning, Gen. Sewell secured
a handsome pair of blacks and drag, and
drove over to Cape May Point followed by
his son, master George Sewell, driving a
beautiful Day pony to a dog cart, according
to arrangements made with the President
and Mr.. Wanamaker last evening.
Hating before the Wanamaker cottage,
the President and Mrs Harrison, with baby
Mckee took seats in the cart, while Mr.
Wanamaker and the baby's nurse were
given seats in the drag Gen Sewell held
the lines and led the way to Cape May,
where the nurse remained at the Sewell
cottage with Mrs Harrison, while the
Postmaster General and the President took
a spin up the beach drive and through the
town.
A sight of General Sewell at once gave a
clue to the thought that the President
must be one of the party, and thus
many were privileged to catch view o.
him as he passed. Baby Mckee sat be
tween grandpa Harrison and Mr.. Wanna
maker, closely held by the President At
terward the entire party went out, the
President and Mrs Harrison occupying the
cart. An occasional halt was made at the
cottages Of some of General Sewell's friends
and introductions followed. Lunch was
served at the Sewell cottage, after which
the distinguished guests returned to Cape
May Point for az afternoons quiet and

10000 VICTIMS.
JOhnstOwn Physicians Again Estimate the Dead, and
Place Them at the Above Number
The Work of Clearing Up.

JoHNsTowN, PA, June 22-Au the
local physicians met accidentally at the
Bedford Street Hospital last night. They
represented all parts of the stricken city,
and after discussing the calamity, all
Joined in the conclusion that not a soul
less than 10000 people were lost in the
food.
On account of the general knowledge
of the people possessed by the physicians
the estimate is looked upon ns reliable.
Two new cases of typhoid fever were
reported among the wOrkmen this morn
ing. They were taken to III. Red Cross
Hospital. The Red Gross people have
opened additional headquarters near Ger
eral Hastings headquarters. This cIgani-
zatiOn is still doing much good.
August BumgsTdneT, reiiGent here and
a foreign labOrer employed in clearing up
the wreckage near the P. r. R. Bridge,
were reported dangerously sick with Bit ID
poisoning in their arms, the sun having
blistered their barred arms and the fetid
water poisoned them. The arms of 10th
thu men were swollen out Of ali proportion
and the physicians express little hope for
the recovery of either. The foreign labor
er was sent to PittsbuIg hospital and
Bumgardner is at his home il Kernville.

o'clock yesterday afternoon w. w. 0'Neil

Alderman McMasters and lodged th.
information against Flamm for EN-
bezzlement. Flsmm was taken from

BUCKEYES

Mixsd-Up Situation in OhiO's Political
Affairs.
HON. DAN WCONVILLE'S OPINION
Is That Campbell and Foraker Will be the
Candidates.

NEW YORK, June % Hon. Daniel
E. McOOnville, of Steubenville, Assistant
Attorney General under the last admins
tratiOn, is stopping at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. McConville is a brainy young
Irish lawyer and an active party worker.
Just now is working to get Democratic
Legislature in Ohio, in order TO elect a
Democrat to succeed Senator Payne. If
Hon. James E. Campbell, Congressman
from the Seventh district, or some other
good Democrat car be made Governor the
party will be all the more enthusiastic.
81 think that Campbell will be the can
didate for Governor, however," said MIR.
McCOnville to me last night. There are
a number of other audidstes, among them
being Allen w Thurman, Charles Baker,
of Cincinnati, and Lawrence Kneelsnd, Of
Cbillicothe. In the County Convention of
Franklin county, in which Mr.. Thurman
lives, which was held last week, there
were five votes for Thurman for guberna-
tOrial candidate, and thirteen for Camp
bell. That, think, is an indication that
he is practically out of the race. Campbell
is the strongest candidate we have. He
won his seat in Congress from the Seventh
district by majority of two only, but
the district was naturally Republican
by 1900 or 5000. 1 don't know who
will be the Democratic candidates
for United States Senator. That will not
be developed much before the State Con
vention, which will be held August "a
The Republican Convention is held in
July, and they have wagon load Of can
didates for every place. Foraker is deter
mined upon going into the United States
Senate. McKinley's friends are urging
him, Robert P. Kennedy wants TO be
Governor, Ben ButterwOrth wants to be
Senator, and, altogether, the State is full
Of factions backing candidates. McKin-
ley's candidacy for the Speskership Of
the House seems 30 be a stumbling block
to his other ambition, and it looks as if
Foraker would dominate the entire pro-
gramme. He may run again for Gov
ernOr. 1t is altogether possible, and he
could be renOminsted fhe wants to. For
aker is pusher, but Mckinley has a
strong following, and it is not known yet
Just what Senator Sherman and his friends
are going to do; so you see that there is
nothing certain about any ones chances
in Ohio this year.

NEW ORLEANS, June 22-It is stated
by those who know, that arrangements
have been made for the Sullivan Kilrain
fight and the ground for the battle agreed
upon. 1t will be near Abita Springs, on
the line of the East Louis ana Railroad,
in st. Tammany parish. For month past
the officials of the Queen and Crescent
and the East Louisiana roads have been
working hard to have the fight cJme of
near Abita Springs. The managers of Kill
rain, who had the choice of ground, have
accepted the offer presented to them. The
East Louisiana Railroad people were es-
pecislly interested in having the fight take
plyle near Abita Springs on account of the
advertisement it would give that resort.
MC Isrs. POitevent and Favre offered to
erect an smpethester on the battle ground
capable of seating 1000 people. The Ioo-

which he thinks of falling over the horse
shoe fall, provided some one will put up
enough to pay general expenses and leave
a subsistence fund for the widow. He
thinks his life worth about 81, 900.
The strange thing about his new pro
posed venture is that be thinks of taking

ssAu Rights" of the Cleveland Haverly
minstrels. Osada is ''stuck" on Niagara,
and would like to tell The big moguls OF

the barrel. The minstrel men were obhgen
to nutup So 600 with the Jspenese Gov
ment as a guarantee for his proper pro
lection while doing the albright acts. But

Revival of the Rumors About That GIgan

Revival of the Rumors About That GIgan
tic Coal Trust.
NEW YORK, June 22.-Rumors that
gigantic coal trust is in process of forms-
ton, have stirred up Wall street again, and
are generally regarded as not at all improb-
able. Some brokers say that an English
syndicate has been formed to buy up all
the coal companies and to guarantee indi-
vidusl operators who would join the trust
profit of % cents per ton on all coal
mined. Another report wes that the al
legged ayndicste is entirely American, and
that Austin Corbin and Sam Sloan are back
of it.
At the Office of the various coal roads no.
body could be found who WAS willing to
talk about the proposed coal trust. 1t is
believed that the efforts which are now be-
ing made to break the Reading voting
trust are inspired by the syndicate, who
can better carry their plan into effect with
the Reading shares scattered. II wOulo
teke an immense capital to carry out the
scheme. The market vslue CT the stocks
of the great coal roads and mining com
panies is 1856, 900 600. The companies
which it would be necessary TO have in the
trust are the Reading, Lehigh Valley, Jer-
sey Central, Lackawanna. Delaware and
Hudson, Pennsylvania and Lehigh Nayiga-
ton.

A Clerical Error Makes the ExtraditiOn
Law Retroactive.
OTTAWA, ONT, June 22.-Speaking Of
the Welden ExtraditiOn bill, passed last
session, the Minister Of Justice said to-day
that the Dominion Government had re-
quested the British Government to imme-
diately assent to or disallow the bill, the
Government here having decided within
the past few days to put it Immediately
into affect if notified by the Imperial Gov
eminent
The Minister states that it was discOv-
cred after the bill had passed Parlls-
ment and received the GovernOr-GeneraPs g
signature, that the omission Of one word
had made the bill retroactive, and that the
moment it was put in force Emo, AxwOr-
thy, Bartholomew and fifty others will come
within the scope, and be liable to extradi-
tion, if asked for. The retroactive clause,
it will be remembered, was the main OBJ
lection to the bill. The clause reads:
The provisions Of this act shall apply to
snv crime mentioned in the said schedule,
whether such crime was committed before
or after the coming into force Of this act,
&c
That it should not be retroactive it wss
amended to read thus:
Shall apply co any crime mentioned IN
the said schedule committed after the COM
ing into force of this act.
The omission of the word only to
make the act read shall only apply"
places the bill on the same footing as all
extradition treaties and makes it retrOsc-
tive. Those who opposed the retroactive
clause are greatly chagrined to find they
have been sold on a legal tecnicality. Nat
ursllv the disclosure has caused great ex-
eitemept and uneasiness among the colony
of refugees from United States justice who
have found an asylum on this side Of the

The Territory Can Go Ahead and Frame a
Constitution.
WASHINGTON June 22.-Attorney Cen
eral Miller at the request of the Governor
of Arizona, submitted through Secretary
Noble, has considered at great length the
question whether, in the absence of an
enabling act by Congress; an act passed
by the Arizona Legislature, and approved
by the Governor. ''tO provide for the
holding of a convention for the purpose Of
framing State constitution to be sub
mitted to the people for their approval or
rejection" is valid.
The Attorney General holds that it is
valid aud cites numerous precedents
where Territories were admitted into the
Union without enabling acts. The power
to accept modify or reject the constitution
adopted by a Territory where it seeks sd-
mission as State, he holds. is vested in
Congress.
