CHARLES!OWN'S BOOM.
The Sale of Lots Very Satisfactory-Total
Sales Nearly 100000.

The Sale of Lots Very satisfactory-Total
Sales Nearly 100000.
Special Telegram to the Register.
CuARLEsTowN, May 15.-The public
sale of lots by the Charlestown Mining,
Manufacturing and Improvement Com
pany closed to-day. The total number
of lots sold was 371, of which the greater
part were business lots. The average
price for the business lots sold was
1925, and residence lots S170. The sales
aggregated S97,4 The prices OBJ
tanned for lots give the company fair
profit on their original purchase,
and at the same time leave
the purchaser of lots with
a chance To sell 1T reasonable advance,
because the lots sold for nothing be-
yond their reasonable and actual value.
A delegation of capitalists from
Brownsville, Uniontown and Lancaster,
Pa, composed of the leading business
men from those places, invested heavily
in lots and are so well pleased with their
purchases and the development and i'm
provements which have already taken
place, that they intend expending con-
siderable money in the erection OF resi-
dences and business houses upon the
lots drawn or purchased by them.
Every one leaving Charlestown after the
sale expressed the opinion and belief
that the development here is substantial
and the growth of the place will be rapid
and permanent, and that Charlestown
has a bright future for advancement and
business progress. The officers of the
company are gratiiied at the reasonable
prices obtained for lots, thus leaving
purchasers a good opportunity to make
a profit, whereas il the lots had sold for
more than their value, progress would
have been checked and purchasers left
with no chance to sell to an advantage.
Every effort was made by the company
TO keep down bogus or inflated prices.
The company will continue to improve
the property reserved by them and Sc
cure manufacturers to locate here and
establish industries.

THE PRESIDENT HOME AGAIN.
He Delivers His One Hundred and Fortieth
Speech Before Entering Washington.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The Presi-
dent and party arrived in Washington
at $50 o'clock this evening, exactly on
schedule time. When the train was
nearing the National Capital and the
Journey was almost at an end, the
President summoned to the observation
car every person who had accompanied
him on the trip, including the ladies and
all the employees of the railroad and
the Pullman Car Company, and made
them a short address. He Sa d he found
that he made just 139 speeches since
they left Washington, and he thought
this a good occasion to make the num-
her a round l40. He then referred TO
the unprecedented excellence and per-
fection of the railroad service through
out the entire trip. He said that Mr..
George w. Boyd of the Pennsylvania
road was entitled to great credit for
his excellent management OF the trip,
aud he added that it was a
superb exhibition OF what training, en-
ergy and intelligence could do for a
man. He then returned his thanks in
dividually TO the conductors, the engin-
eer and firemen, the chief aud his assist
ants, the brakemen, the walters and
pOrters, and in fact TO every person who
had rendered service to the party on
the trip,
The President gave all the employees
a substantial token of his appreciation
Cf their attention.
The arrival in Washington was I'M
marked by any demonstration, beyond
the presence at the station Of small
knot OF officials and several hundred
travellers. The company broke up in a
few minutes, and the President and his
family proceeded TO the White House.
The President stood the trip better
than any one else, Notwithstanding the
greater labor performed by him, and
there is nothing whatever in his ap-
pearance to indicate that he has been
subjected to any unusual strain.

Special Telegram 10 the Register.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-lnternal Rev
enue Commissioner Mason some days
ago gave out statement to the effect
that the payments OF tobacconist claims
for rebate under the Mckinley bill We're
likely to be delayed for some time. This
caused a good deal of i'll feeling among
tobacco dealers throughout the country.
Protests began to come from sections
that they were being Disseminated
against. The truth of the matter seems
TO be that the claims are being adjusted
and paid with rapidity, Mr.. MaSon'S
statement having been based on miss
apprehension. All the claims for the
rebate have now been filed, and they
aggregate about 10000. The total
amount of money called for is not yet
known, but it will probably reach $780,
600.
Only 271 claims for rebate came from
West Virginia and they aggregate
about 81, 600. OF the 10000 claims filed
all but ., 900 have been passed on by the
Internal Revenue Office and forwarded
to the Fifth Auditor of the Treasury
who, when he has examined them sends
them TO the Comptroller. In order to
expedite the adjustment OF the claims
an additional force OF clerks has been
put to work in the Internal Revenue

CHASING THE iTATA.
NO DEFINITE NEWS ABOUT TIE MISSION OF
TIE CHARLESTON.
The Rsmerada Refused Coal at Mexican PORT
SIZE IS Hoping to Drop in With the Chilian
Privateer-Ths San Francisco Will
Take Eand in Overhaul
ing the Itata.

CITY OF MExIco, May 15.-The Chill
ian insurgent cruiser Esmeralda is evil
dently not afraid of the United States
cruiser Charleston.
A dispatch from Acapulco, received
here at late hour last night, says that
the cruiser Esmeralda entered that port
Wednesday and sailed again yesterday.
Several Of her officers were ashore and
used the wires, and made various in
quiries regarding the action Of the
United States, showing that they had
been informed that the cruiser Charles
ton had been sent in pursuit Of the
Itata. 1t is believed that she has
steamed north to intercept the Itata,
ana protect her, should the Charleston
attempt to capture her.
The officers who came ashore were
very reticent, but from one OF the sail
ors it was learned that they expected to
sight the Itata and act as her consort
down the coast. The Esmeralda has
numerous crew, and in appearance they
are veterans and will fight. The opin-
ion prevails here that should the Charles
ton attempt to capture the Itata naval
engagement will take place and the
United States cruiser will get the worst
of IL.
The receipt Of the dispatch was con-
firmed at the War Department. A
prominent official said that the Chilian
cruiser had been warned not to remain
in port, as Mexico was not harboring
insurgent vessels and did not recognize
any other government In Chill than that
of Balmaceda. That was the reason
why the cruiser had sailed.
The captain of the fishing boat which
was nearly run down by large steamer
carrying no lights, says that after his
boat was out OF danger bright, blind
ing light was suddenly flashed upon his
craft, and it was undoubtedly produced
by an electric light from man-Of-war.
He said further that the vessel was
steaming north. With this fact in view
there is but little doubt that it is the
Esmeralda going north TO intercept the
Itata. 1t is the general idea that should
the Esmeralda meet the Itata before she
is overtaken by the Charleston the arms
that she has and her cargo will be trans
ferred. In this case the Charleston could
hardly delay the Esmeralda No proofs
would be forthcoming to prove what
had become of the munitions OF war.
This will doubtless be the course which
the Esmeralda's captain will pursue.
The transfer of arms being made, on the
Chareston's appearance, the empty
Itata could be graciously turned over
to it. If naval engagement takes
place it cannot be delayed, il the
Charleston is on the right track, much
later than tomorrow, and will doubt
less be fought of the coast OF the State
Of Jalizco.
The following was received here at
O'Clock last evening from San Bias Topic:
"a long, low, rakish craft is lying on
and off this coast, with steam up and
flying no coors. Fishing vessels report
her well manned and protected by large
guns. A steam yacht has been sent out
to investigate"

PENSION OFFICE SCANDAL.
The Commissioners Son Bounced-Raums
Financial Affairs in Bad Shape.
Special telegram to the Register

Special Telegram to the Register.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 15.-lt Is
believed here that the latest pension
Office scandal, involving Commissioner
Raum's son in Office, charged with sell
ing places and other offenses, will lead
to the retirement of Gen. Raum himself.
Gen. Raum is not believed TO have any
knowledge of his sons wrong doing, but
it is felt that he will hardly care TO
continue in Office longer, nor that the
President will care to have him.
Besides ali this, it is said thai
General Raum is in financial
difficulties and that his creditors are
pressing his hard. Notes for large
amounts are outstanding against him
and the holders have become so impa-
tient that they threaten to prefer
charges against him before the Presl-
dent. / is alleged that Raum has not
conducted his private business affairs in
a way that would be considered safe
and honorable by careful business men,
and that he has at times given checks
for which he had no money in bank to
meet. Altogether, his administration
of the pension Office seems to be in
very bad way.

keeping up their average and every
thing looks favorable.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, May 15.-Elk
City is all excitement tonight over the
action of their city council in agreeing
to grant liquor license. Heretofore
there has been no liquor sold there, the
Charleston council having jurisdiction
for mile beyond the limits of Charles
ton and refusing to allow any liquor to
be sold there. When the new city was
created the liquor question at once
arose, but it was supposed the council
was dry. Tonight an application for
permit to apply to the County Court for
license was made. The vote on grant
ing it was a tie till one man changed his
vote and the permit was granted. Others
will follow.
