When the train pulled up at the depot
Mr.. Rebman presented an order from
the local manager OF the road TO have
the car sde.tracked and taken direct TO
the mill. This was done through fear
OF trouble with the Amalgamated men.
There were at least 100 OF them gathered
at the station awaiting the arrival OF
the non-unlon force, having been ad-
vised in the evening that they were en-

off on the mill side-track, they set up
howl and started after II In body. The
coach was run into the mill yard and
the gates closed, and when the locked

nothing to be seen but an occasional
guard.
The new arrivals spent the balance
OF the night In the company's Offices,
but despite the vigilance Of the guards
two representatives from the strikers
managed to get into the enclosure and
informed the new arrivals OF the true
state OF affairs. It was soon learned
that the Superintendent had misrepre-

WASHINGTON, D. c., February l.
Some Republicans here are expecting
President Harrison will finally appoint
Judge Nathan Golf, of West Virginia,
to the vacancy on the Supreme bench
caused by the death of Justice Lamar.
They think Judge Goff is the ablest
Republican among the Circuit Court
Judges who can be regarded as OF the
South, from which section it is regard
ed as essential the new Justice should
come. On the other hand, the belief is
still strong that Harrison will I'LL the
place by nominating Judge jackson, OF
Tennessee, who, though Democrat, Is
very highly regarded by all who know
him, including the President himself,
and the present Justices Of the Supreme
Court. :,
Mr.. Harrison in the past couple OF
DAYS has expressed his desire to nom
mate Judge Jackson. He fears that II
he nominates Republican the Demo-
cratic Senators will fight and prevent
confirmation, as they regard 1T as very
unfair that the Democrat representa-

THE IRISH NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Gladstone's Home Rule BIZ Is NOT
Satisfactory-Protests Against It

Gladstone's Home Rule Bill ls Nos
satisfactory-Protest Against 1t
New York, February This cir
cular has been sent out by the officers
of the Irish National League OF Amer
ica:
"Irishmen: The supreme moment has
arrived in the history Of our country
and we feel that in such crisis, silence
on our part would be criminal. Great
British statesman, the Right Hon. VIM.
Evart Gladstone, will within the next
few days introduce in the British par
lament home rule measure for Ire
land. The character OF this measure
we now know. We have carefully
studied it's provisions and we have
arrived at our conclusions regarding 1t.
r \
80 hedged in is II with conditions
that it falls short of even the measure
of 1886. The Irish legislators provided
for would be legislators merely In
name, without power TO interfere In the
matters most concerning their coun'
Cry.
"Ireland cannot prosper as a mere ag-
ricultural country, and a parliament
without the power to build up its trade
would be worse than worthless. The
proposed Parliament would have no
such power, and would not be able to
protect even the least of her interests.
ANY legislation whatsoever affecting
the land question would be beyond It's
reach for years TO come, and even
in the matter Of quarantine 1t
would be for England TO say
whether or not Ireland should be
a sort of British lazarette. With the
consent OF the lord lieutenant the par
lament of Dublin might build bridge,
construct road, reclaim bog, or legiS-
late concerning gas, water and cleo
trlcity. That Is all. Have Irishmen
fallen so low that they will accept such
a measure as this from England. We
think not. We believe that the ma
tional spirit is immortal and that our
people will refuse TO barter
their nationhood. Strong in this
belief and full Of hope
in the future of our country we declare
that the Home Rule proposals of Mr..
Gladstone are inadequate, and that the
principle or lndependence only Will SAY
isfy the Irish people.
ave stand to-day at the parting Of
the ways between resistance and con-
ciliation. We have advised the latter
until patience has ceased to be virtue,
and further temporizing has become a
crime. We call for an expression OF
opinion from all Irishmen who remain
true to their traditions, as to the
course we should pursue at this
inncture. We advise the formation OF
clubs where ever there are Irishmen
honestly desirous Of improving the con-
dition of Ireland. Even those who are
| most inclined to under rate the resour-
ces of our race must recognize that II
our scattered people could be welded
into one homogeneous mass, working
for Ireland's redemption, the task would
be easy Of accomplishment. To achieve
this grand result is the goal OF our am
bition and we call on you to join with
us so that we may be able to round out
the century by the fulfilment Of our
hopes.

time after last midnight. The bank Is
in the building occupied by w. 0. Pos

entrance 10 the bank.
The front door of the store was burst
open, and the safe in the store was
somewhat damaged at the effort to blow
the door open. The money drawer in
the store was relieved of about two dol
lars, and enc or two pairs of shoes, can
of tomatoes aud can OF apples were
taken. An entrance was gained into
the Office Of the bank, and several draw
ers were ransacked.
In one drawer there was twelve dol
lars in silver which they took. At the
vault was found a score OF burned
matches, but no attempt was made upon
it. Up to late hour tonight the Off
GERS have no clue, but the general opin-
ion is that local talent did the work,
while some believe it to be the gang
who have been operating on the line OF
the West Virginia Central railroad.

watching the half million appropriation
for conducting the improvement OF the

them out OF the sundry civil bill, and
falling in this, to cut them down one

The contest consumed good share

nearly all of this afternoon. But
Judge Holman's movement was not
strongly supported, and he finally aban-
doned il late to-day, having been beaten
on every motion. So the item for the
Great Kanawha of S5OO,OO0 remains in

the outlook for the future of the plant

Spec,el TsIsqram 70 De R.ansr.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February l.
Don NJ. Dickinson came 10 Washington
last night to look after political matters
which are interesting him. He was on
the floor of the House this morning
talking with Democrats about the silver
question and the annexation OF Hawaii.
His interest In both questions is en-
tremely active. He is working with all
his might TO secure the repeal OF the
law for the purchase Of silver and is ad-
vocating the annexation Of Hawaii and
something more. He is said to have
told his friends to-day that II the Sher-
man silver purchase act was not repeal
ed by this Congress, an extra session to
repeal it would be called early in April.
AS the foreign complications 1T Is
safe TO say that the Hawaiian situation
is thoroughly understood by Mr.. Cleve-
land, and that he has been informed on
it FOR some months. Moreover there is
another very important question inti-
mately associated with ii which has
had his attention as we'll as that OF
President Harrison, and in which some
developments are expected at an early
date. 1t is the annexation OF Canada.
This matter has been indefinitely dis
cussed for years, of course, but what is
going on concerning it now is definite
and looks TO speedy solution OF the
question.
The REGISTER correspondent was In
formed to-day that Mr.. Dickinson has
been discussing the matter with few
men who are taken into confidence and
that it is expected that in short time
Canada will come to US as has Hawaii.
There will probably be discussion OF
the matter in open house before long.
