Special telegram to The Register.
WASHINGTON, August 5.-Secresary
Window, in conversation with West Vir-
ginia Republican about the appointment
of Fehrenbach; of Cincinnati, as Steamboat
Inspector, said it was not worth while for
West Virginia TO expect anything more
from the Treasury, as it is a certain Dem
ocratic State. He added that West Vir-
ginia Republicans had candidates for every
place to be filed, but that their aspira-
tions for Office exceeded their performance
of duty to their party. He said that the
last campaign demonstrated that West
Virginia was Democratic, and that the Re-
publicsns ought to content themselves
with taking whatever the administration
felt disposed to give them.
This expression of Window may be
taken IS indicating that West Virginia
will not ges the Interstate Rail
read Commissioner. In the organiza-
tion of that commission the places were
distributed geographically, and the Presi-
dent holds that the vacancy belongs to
New England.

ter Of the petition Of the general creditors
to have Frank P. Woodmausee appear be-
fore the Probate Court ana show cause
why he gave to Thomas McConville two
chattel mortgages, one for 81 300 and one
for g.. go, thus preferring him to other
creditOrs, the hearing took place this
morning, and although Judge Mansfield
reserved his decision it is we'll understood
that the general creditors accomplished
their purpose, as the msin object of attack
was the mortgage for 81 $50, which was
given to secure rent for the hotel for two
years yet 10 come, and McCOnville will
rot press that mortgage on the ground
that should he do 80 WoOdmansee could
claim the hotel for two years TO come
without further remuneration, and they
regard its lesse for that time as worth
more than the amount involved.
In the course of the hearing Joe Wood
msnsee, brother of Frank, testified that
as Chief Clerk he was given authority TO
sign checks, pay bills, etc, and in the
course of his duties exceeded his privileges
TO the amount Of about $500 OF this
amount S400 had been expended for dia-
monds, which he turned over to the as-
siguees He also admitted drawing two
checks, one fer $50 and one for $40 on
Sherrsrd, Mooney & Co.'s bank, which
amounts he had appropriated TO his own
use. He admitted that these amounts
we're all appropriated without the know
ledge or consent of his brother Frank.
Albert link, one of the general creditors,
then went before Jusiics Love and swore
out warrant against joe, charging him
with embazzling the funds Of Frank. He
was arrested and the hearing set for three
o'clock this afternoon. A. that time Nc

Of Victory.

ScoTTDALE, PA, August 5.-The strike
in the Connellsville coke region has as
sumed immense proportions. OF the IA,
600 ovens in the region not less than II,
OOO are now idle, and the managers of the
strike assert th0t over /, 600 of the remain
ing ovens will be shut dowh to morrow.
The Progressive Miners Association
and tho Knights of Labor are work.
ing together in perfect harmony for
the fst time in years. At q
meeting at the Standard works yesterday,
the men, who are nearly all National Pro
gressive Miners, unanimously passed q
resolution ignoring their scale of Last
February. From the latest reports received
here il is almost certain that not more than
eight or ten works out of the rs in the re-
gion will he working tomorrow. These,
with the exception If the Mammoth, are
all small wOrks, and will rot represent
over !, 200 or l, 400 men.
STRIKERS ABE CONFIDENT.
The men in this part Of the region are
quiet and peaceable and believe they will
win the strike. The strikers from Dom
nelly and Stoneville we1t to MorewoOd
this morning at dsybreak and held meet
ing in front of the company's etore at that
place. They succeeded in inducing the
men TO quit work, bat it is reported that
as the vi-itors lett the place some Of the
men went back TO work.
Arrangements are being msde for an
immense mass meeting 10 be held at this
place on Wednesday. Delegates from all
parts CT the region are expected to be pres
ent, and the meeting will be addressed
By National Master Workman Rae, and
several other prominent labor leaders.
TWO BIG FIRMS SURRENDER.
The latest feature in the coke situation
here is the report that the strike will end
successfully as far as the Mcclure and ].
Schoonmaker Coke Companies are con-
cerned. Telephone message have been
sent tonight to all the works operated By
these companies offering the men an ad-
vance of six and One.fourth percent. They
will try to force the prices Of
coke TO a point that will justify
them in paying the advance. As far "a
can be learned, meetings ore being beld at
the above companies works and the proba-
bilities are that number of them will be
running in the morning Just what
action will be taken by the II. G. Frick
company cannot be sscertained tonight,
but it is entirely probable that they will
make similar offer 70 the men IN their
employ.
