News OF the Roats and Boatnsn Along
tie Ohio.
The Bedford passed up at 1880 o'clock
Yesterday morning for Pittsburg and
way landings.
The Courier cleared at p. m, with
a good freight cargo, for Parkersourg.
The Ben Hur arrived from Parkers-
burg at $50 4. M, and Is scheduled to
depart to-day for the same port. She
may not do so, however, on account OF
the low water.
The river marks last night showed 2
feet II inches of water in the channel
and still falling slowly.
There is a scant supply OF coal at
Nav Orleans. The stock afloat in that
port has dwindIed down to twenty-five
boats. In consequence the price has
been advanced cents per barrel. w.
fl. Brown & Sons is the only firm that
has coal in that market.
The Henry DsBus and Al Martin ex'
changed tows and the DeBus is on the
way back with tow Of empties.
For some time past an entirely new
scheme, to do away with the low water
season and consequent cut off OF the
Pittsburg coal supply, has been receiv-
no little consideration and attention
from Pennsylvania river men. AS a
first step towards putting the new idea
before Congress, Col. T. 2. Roberts read
report before the Chamber OF Com
merce Tuesday showing the feasibility
of plan to construct restraining
dams or reservoirs in the tributaries OF
the Ohio river to be used in time OF In
sufficient freshets to assist In moving
coal laden vessels. Upon the adoption
of the report a set Of resolutions re-
ouesting the representatives In the
House and Senate from this section to
ask for an appropriation OF $4,000 In

duct an inquiry by Government engi-

IRIS admitted that with the Treasury
in the condition in which it was left by
the late Republican administration
little reduction Of tariff taxes can be
made unless provision Is made for re-
covering the deficiency in the revenue
by some other method Of taxation. The
income tax proposition is at present the
keynote % the situation. Upon the
disposition Of that proposition will
largely depend the extent to which il
will be possible for the Ways and Means
Committee to reduce the tax burdens of
the people in the forthcoming bill.

happiness and prosperity Of both govern
ments.
In letter addressed ITO His Excel
lency, SANFORD B. DoLS. President OF
the Provisional Government, President
CLEVELAND said:
L hare made choice Of Albert S. Willis,
one Of our distinguished citizens, to reside
near the government Of Your Excellency
in the quality OF Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentlary of the United
States Of America He is well informed OF
the relative interests OF the two countries
aud Of our sincere desire TO cultivate, TO the
fullest extent, the friendship which has
so long sUbsisted between us. My knowl-
e lge OF his high character and ability has
given me entire confidence that he will
constantly endeavor 70 advance the inter-
ests and prosperity Of both governments
and so render himself acceptable 10 Your
Exceuency.
Does this look as II the admInIstra-
ton had intended to interfere with the
Provisional government or aid resto-
ration OF the monarchy?
The gross mistake has grown out Of
the shameful haste OF its political enc
mics ia the United States TO discredlt
and misropresent the administrations
policy in advance, for the purpose Of
making political capital Mr.. CLEvE-
LANDS policy is the constitutional
American policy OF hands of in the az
fairs OF foreign nations, a policy grossly
violated by Minister STEVENS. II is
plainly the purpose of the administra-
ton to preserve this fundamental prin-
ciple OF our government Intact The
United States forces in the harbor of
Honolulu will not be used to interfere
on behalf Of either side, but simply to
maintain the peace, and permits peace
able settlement TO be made If by peace
able means the Provisional government
shall be able to maintain itself its rights
will be protected; il the people Of the
Islands desire a return 10 the late mon
archy and can peaceably accomplish
the change there will be no interfer-
ence on the part Of the United States.
That is the true American policy. 1t
was grossly violated by President HAIR
RIsoN's minister 1t will be respected
and maintained by the present admins
tration. That is the SUN and substance
OF the Hawaiian situation.

How an Knglish Reporter Was Sold Dy
His German Friend.

How an English Reporter WAS sold Dy
His German Friend.
Two reporters employed on daily
journals of thecIty are having lively
tits almost daily while doing the South
Side.9 1t seems the desire OF each to
get ahead of the other. This was ex-
emplfied very recently.
Last Friday morning an Eighth ward
Councilman was riding down town in
street car. Beside him sat the very able
reporter of the Substituting. An
aged man entered the car, and pretty
soon seedy-looking. sharp-eyed fellow
entered and sat down beside the man,
who had the appearance OF being
farmer. The reporter nndged the
Councilman and said, 81 know that
chaps game. He is going to rob the
old fellow" The Councilman only
grinned, but soon got from the car and
told South Side pharmacist the story.
The druggist aud the pharmacist then
and there concoeted a scheme TO 'do,
some reporter, and they didn't care
upon whom the brunt might fall.
The man of the German daily later
arrived at the store in quest OF news.
Anything new?" he queried, cycling
the drug dispenser. Eyes, there is
something" said the druggist. He
then told q tale concocted by himself
and the Councilman. 1t was that an
old chap "blew into' the pharmacy
"just little while BEFORE" saying he
had been held up and robbed. The
druggist told of how the old man had
met the fellow in the street cars, and
later had been held up, robbed ana
beaten. He closed the tale by saying
be had sent the old chap to South
Side physician" to have the result OF
his beating dressed.
The reporter saw q chance to get one
on his evening contemporary and his
rival, and, although he doubted the
story, he knew the supposed "hold up"
would be copied by the evening paper.
And it was, too.
The reporter winked his other eye,
and sat right down there and wrote a
couple of sticks about how the hold-uD
was conducted, just as the drug man
had told him. He concluded by telling
what time a physician had in dressing
the injury, The item appeared last
Friday evening in the German paper.
The evening paper reporter didn't
see the tie m in time for Saturdays pa
per, but his attention was called to It,,
and in Yesterdays edition Of the even
ing paper q pretty thorough transla-
tion from the German paper OF Friday
was dished up and given as fresh news,
nearly two sticks being devoted to the
druggists and Councilman's tale. A
name was supplied, the old fellow be-
ing called "Shaffer," a farmer near
Sherrard. 1t stated that $25 was Sc
cured, and then proceeded to give fur
Their "details"
This seems enough glory TO last the
German "Faber" shower whole year,
for now he is length ahead OF his
rival

shortly after noon. Cinders from the
Riverside plant are being dumped there,
and Goals, red hot, caught the trestle.
There was danger for time that the
entire structure would be swept away,
but the large number Of persons on the
scene soon put the blaze out. The
trestle was considerably scorched, but
not enough to prevent trains running
safely over 10.

TIE BOUNDARY LINE DISPUTE

TIE BOUNDARY LINE DASFO IN
In the United States Supreme Court,
in answer to the cross bin Of the Attor-
new General OF West Virginia, Attorney
General Roe. Of Maryland. has filed an
answer in the suit TO fix the boundary
line between the two States.
Naryiand's original bill was fled IN
November. 1891. West Virginia, +s5rgh
Attorney General Riley, fled its an

The arguments are now summed up
on both sides, and it is expected that

"AFTER TIE BALL"
Throe Fights in One Night Over Young
Lady.

Three Fights in One Night Over a Young
Lady.
Last Friday night the "Funny Six
gave a big dance at Fulton. An inter
esting bit of news grew from the event.
1t seems barber and a Whitaker
mill man, both of East Wheeling, had
''hankerings" after q popular young
lady, also Of the East End. They had
had lively little tits over the beauty,
but il never came to blows till on the
night of the dance.
The two East Enders were present,
and also the lady. Friends who knew
the jealousy OF the young men antici-
pated war when they saw the three
persons at the ball. The barber, seeing
that the mill man was gaining the In
side track, accosted his rival and a
scrap was begun in the hall. The bar
Der was getting the worst Of it, when
they were separated.
The barber then went out to wander
about the hill In his solitude. The
mill man followed, and while strolling
near the top Of the hill above the town,
the rivals met again, and they had an
other scrap. The barber had the best
Of it in this encounter.
The mill man, being mad, while COM
ing down the road met an East Wheel
ing carpenter and be accused him OF
paving too marked attention to the
lady over whom be and the barber
twice taught.
The carpenter said"this was America
and he would go with whom he choose. "
Another fight followed and the mill
man got stab in the arm with a pen
knife.
The mill man is now in the cou ntry
fearful of the law and nursing his arm.
