Mr.. Atkinson will introduce bill in
the House tomorrow amending section
1854 OF the Revised Statutes 80 as to re-.
quire the appointing power to employ
soldiers OF the late war in government
positions, whether they were discharg
ed because Of disabilities or not, and
providing a severe penalty for failure to
give them the preference. The law, rs
1t now stands, o1ly provides that the
soldiers who were discharged because OF
disease shall be preferred aud does not
fix penalty for failure to do 80. The
law, therefore, is dead letter. Mr.. At.
kiuson's amendment not only gives it
broader scope, but makes It effective
also. aud will prove a real benefit to the
soldiers.

splendid speech.
Special Dispaicn to the Inis4ige,,ccr.
MARrISspuRa, W. Va, Sept. 2l.-The
Republicans started the ball to rolling IN
Berkeley Saturday by nominating one Of
the strongest tickets they have eyer put
in the field.
The convention met in the Court
house at II o'clock a. III. on Saturday
with fnll attendance OF delegates, and
enthusiastic ones, too. Dr.. Ross, OF
Hedgesyille, was made chairman.
When nominations were in order Mr
L. D. Gerhardt nominated Mr.. S, II
Martin for Clerk OF the County Court,
Daniel Snyder nominated W. NJ. Brown
for Clerk OF the Circuit Court, J. L.
Clendenning nominated james ", Nc.
Donald for County Commissioner, J. B.
Wood nominated Charles Strickey, Of
Tomahawk, and DR.. G. ". Daniels,
Hon. ]. Nelson Wiener for House OF
Delegates, all oi whom were accepted
amid roaring applause by the convention.
BY lar the must interesting portion OF
the convention was the magnificent
address by the Hon. J. Nelson Wisner,
one OF the ablest Republicans OF Wesi
Virginia.
Mr.. Wisner commenced his remarks
by stating that the honor conferred on
him was unsolicited, and ,ha.'he was not
an office. seeker, but that he considered
it his duty to his party and.to his paper
to accept and thanked the convention.
He then branched off into ayiisclssion
Of the tariff, saying that he believed in
the principles Of which Henry Clay was
the Observation-Disclosures to home
industries;" that it applied to every one
individually, and that it was question
Of the pockets OF America ayains,
the pockets Of the world; Of American
labor against foreign labor, and OF Amer
ican capital against foreign capital. He
illustrated hls argument by asserting
that il a peddler came into the city oi
Martinsburg and placed his inferior
goods before the people to unders.ll the
merchants OF Murtinsburg, thu they
would soon rise and demand protection
at the hands OF the city authorities aud
ask that they b. made pay license.
He riddled Faulkner's speech ut the
Democratic convention last Saturday,
advocating the admission OF certain ar
tic!es free, and criticised his action il
voting to retain the duty on coal, which
interest was represented in this Statt
by johnson N. Camden and Henry G
Davis, asserting that Faulkner was al
much OF q prosec,ioniss as any one when
the money power OF hls own constitu
ents were represented. He referred, il
conclusion, to the speech Of Mr.. Parks
candidate for State Senator, in aeceptin,
his nomination at which time he claimed
that the Democratic party deserved al
the credit for inauguratiig our excellen
free school system, and said that 1t wa
an erroneous aud misleading statement
and asserted that the Republican par.

Tho Tariff Hlil to be Reported Tucstln
or Observation-Disclosures In tho House.


Tho Tariff Isiil to be Reported Tuesday
or Observation-Disclosures In tho House.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2l.-The undn-
ished business before the Senate when
it meets tomorrow will be the bill for
the relief OF the Supreme Court, which
was under discussion several DAYS last
week. The bill providing for the or
ganization Of court for the adiudica-
ton Of private land claims also occu pics
Il place on the calendar, where it NAV
be called up at any time. It's probable
come action will be taken upon both
these bills this week, but it is difficult
to cay just what it will be. II they
should be passed, it would probably be
necessary to send to the House for con-
current mendments, 80 that it is not
likely that either OF them will become a
law at this session OF Congress.
The bills next on the order OF business
fixed by the Republicans are the two
labor bills, and they will be called up BY
Sena'or Blair at the first opportunity.
Conferees on the tariff bill say today
that an agreement is not probable before
Tuesday or Wednesday. As the report
goes frat to the House for consideration,
it will not reach the Senate until the lat.
ter part Of the week. 1t will then de.
pend upon the desire Of Senators to Get
away whether the discussion shall be
long or brief.
Notice has been given that three tariff
speeches are to be made when the con.
ference report is made to the Senate, by
Messrs. Aldrich aud Carlisle, Of the
Finance Committee, and Mr.. ingalls,,
who was in the Chuir while the bill was
under consideration in the Senate.
ln the House the Langston- -Venable
election case has reached stage which
rtq1ires further action before any other
business can be touched. Tho previous
question is operating. and although in
the ordinary course the District OF Co.
lumbia Committee would be entitled to
the floor Tomorrow, the yea and nay
vote upon the election case must be
taken before the usual order can pro.
vail. So it will be- necessary for the
Republicans to secure quorum as a
preliminary to the disposition Of any
business, aud as matter OF fact they
confidently expect to have one hundred
and eixty.Gye members present Monday
or Tuesday at the --latest, which with tbs
assistance rendered by the presence ol
pt least one Democrat will, they believe,
enable the House to dispose Of the cleo.

BLOODY FEUD.

Another Outbreak Nrtween tho Brewer

CATLErTsDuRG, KY, Sept. ol.-Wed-
nesday, at the store Of Chailins & Waller,
at the mouth Of Pigeon, Logan county,
WA, James Dempsey shot and instant.
ly killed George Waller, one Of the pro.
prietors. The cause Of the fight was
bad blood which had existed between
the two for some time. Waller was a
sympathixer with the Baisdens and
Dempsey with the Brewers, both mem.
bers Of q notorious faction. The day
following the killing several hundred
people gathered at the ec.ne OF The
homicide, the B'isden sympathy pre-,
dominating. Further trouble is feared
as the Baisden's and Dem pse,s ar.
deadly enemies. Two fights, the Sun

resulted in on Dempsey being sh OF i

WAsnlNdroN, Sept. 2l.-The Republi.
can conferees on the tariff bill were In
session last night until midnight and re-
snmed work again to-day in tho effort to
get report ready for adoption by Tues.
day. At the close Of work to-day, how:
ever, 1t was found impossible to com.
pletc the report within that time. The
Democratic conferees are not holding
any conferences, but will b. invited to
90 through the formality OF dissenting
when their Republican colleagues reach
an agreement. At the close OF the con.
ference tonight Major Mckinley said:
1--WE have made good progress in the
past two days, and think that 1t will
be possible to reach conclusion and
make a report on Wednesday. We will
not give out anything relating to the
features OF the report. What Is done on
one day may be reversed the next, and
the public would be misled il all that
traaspires IN conference were given GU:
before Gnal action is taken."
Representative Bayne said that ho did
not think it possible ior the conferees
to get through their work before Thnrs.
day. lie did not anticipate that any
great length Of time would be occupied
IN disposlng Of the bill in the two
Houses after the conferees reported.
Mr.. Dingley, of Maine, condescended
to disclose some facts, namely, that sugar
and binding twine were the two jtems
which were going TO be troublesome in
The settlement. There is one thing al.
most absolutely certain-namely, that
the House conierees will accept the Sen.
ate amendments to tue sugar schedule.
1t is not a concession on principle, but
because it is bold and palpable fact
that the Treasury will need the money
which will be collected under the Senate
So well determined is this
matter that the representatives of the
planters have gone home, merely asking
that certain features as regards the time
when the new schedule shall 70 into
etiec. shall be modified.
Senator Carlisle does not agree that
Congress can complete its work by Oc.
tobef !. He says the conference reports
will not be ready until the last days of
the present week. 1t will be devoted in
both Houses to an extent that will keep
Congress in session until O:toher 10, ut |
least, and possibly to October Is.

No doubt whatever exists as 10 the

due to another accident which, had tho

Of 10Y cars, drawn by engine No. 347, had

Just at TINT moment, G:l5 o'clock, the
express, which had left

of the Allegheny and shenango, and,
with the assistance Of other lines, will
form a route to Buffalo shorter than the

Pittsburgh and Western will be used to
Butler, the Allegheny and shenango to
Mercer, from thence tho road will be
extended 10 Franklin, where it will
connect with the Western New York

Buffalo $50 miles long. 1t is claimed
that all the mysterious dickering OF late
between tho Baltimore & Ohio and
Pittsburgh and Western is now made
clear. The Baltimore & Ohio has been
anxious to get into Buffalo and the oil
regions. Through the Valley and the
Pittsburgh 4 Western it has a good line
