WASHINGTON, D. c., December 20
The commission Of the present post
master at Keyser expired to-day, but
Representative Wilson has not yet
made any recommendation regarding
his successor. Mr.. Wilson has been
very busy, as most people know, during
the last three or four months wrestling
With the tariff bill, and has been com
PEELED 70 neglect other matters which
he regards Of less consequence. such as
ths distribution Of Offices among his
constituents.
But some OF the latter don't coincide
IN this view Of it, and for the last few
days he has been ovsrrun with people
from his district who have importuned
him TO let the tariG 20 for a while and
concentrate his mind on the great prob
lem Of who ought 10 get the keyser
postmsstership.
Among those who were here to-day
20 talk with Mr. Wilson on this matter
we're Hon. Thomas Carskaddon, DR..
Frank Keyes and Col. John A. Robin
son, of Patterson's Creek. AS Congress
viii adjourn for the holidays tomorrow
or next day, Mr. Wilson will then get a
respite from tariff work, and can de-

Mr.. s. L. Rsger, Of PhiIippL is in

Hon. Henry A. Ysager, Of POcahon'

LONDON, December 2O.-Some sur
prise is expressed to-day at Mr.. Glad
stones reference in the House OF Com
mons Yesterday to General Tracy, ex-
Secretary of the United States Navy.
According to the full report Of last
nights debate, published to-day, Mr..
Gladstone said: II really do not know
vhv Lord George Hamilton should
ouote Secretary Tracy, whose name Is
NO more sacred in my eyes than any
other name. What means that gentle
man has of examining the case l don't
know"
Lord George Hamilton here inter
nosed. saving: General Tracy for
four years was Secretary OF the u. 8
Navy"
il seems to me he corresponds little
with Lord George Hamilton, only not
quite so good. I do not suppose that
General Tracy acquired such knowledge
that the whole OF the Parliament has
to defer to the opinion he sent US across
the Atlantic"
The Globe to-day protests against
what Is describes as Mr.. Gladstone's at
tack uuoR General Tracy, who, toe
Globe adds. has very high reputation
in naval matters. The Globe then re-
marks that General Tracy's work as
Secretary of the Navy was most as
tinct success, and that MI. GlaaStones
sneer at him was usprovoked ana utter
ly unjustified.
New YORK, December 2o.-An Asso-
ciated Press reporter called on General
Benjamin F. Tracy, ex-Secretary OF the
NAVY. to-day and read . cablegram
from London in reference to what Mr..
Gladstone said about him In reply 10
Lord George Hamilton, when she latter
ouoted Mr.. Tracy as having said:
"England would require to be build
ing nineteen battle ships within the
next two years In order to maintain her
position"
The London Globes defense Of Mr..
Tracy against Mr.. Gladstone's attack
was also read TO the General.
While the reporter was reading the
ex.Secretary laughed heartily, and in re-
ply to the reporters query he said;
"Weh, don't see that the matter
calls for any comment or my part as
think the Globe has done that for me.
However, will say that if Mr.. Glad
stone studies the condition Of the
French and Russian naVies he will
learn, il he is not already aware OF it.,
that am right in the statement which
Lord George Hamilton quoted.

Russia will have combined fifty modern
battle ships of 44O, 600 tons displacement
against England's 81 of $4,000 tons
displacement.

material Of the English navy is superior
TO that of France and Russia. | differ
with him, as I believe that the French
battle ships are superior to the English
both in guns aud armor."

HUNTINGTON, w. VA, December 90
"A deplerAble tragedy occurred yester-
day at Algoma, Mcdowell county. Dr.
Robert HOgg. talented young physlc-
ian, son Of DR.. Walter II. Hogg, OF
Point Pleasant, was the victim and met
death by his own hand. The remains
were brought here to-day by his uncle,
DR.. McGuffen, of Bramwell, and after
preparing them for burial, they
proceeded on 10 Point Pleas
aut. DR.. McGuffen said that
Hogg picked up a large calibred re-
volVer from the table Of his associate,
DIR. Stone, and that while he was
handling it the weapon was discharged,
the ball entering the right temple and
passing clear through the brain, killing
him instantly. Or Stone, who was Ia
the room at the time Of the tragedy, did
not accompany the remains, but it Is
understood he confirms this statement.
The location OF the wound and
the course OF the ball tends to
the belief that it was suicide,
and the further fact that DIR. Hogg had
been III with severe cold for more than
a week and was at the time Of mis- death
taking a heavy antidote for his ailmsnt,
tends 20 the belief that he took his life
while in ft Of temporary insanity,
brought on by an overdose Of medicine
Reports from Algoma this evening
tend to strengthen the last theory.
Deceased was 2s, and had fine practice
among the miners.

To-day the Democratic members Of the

active work on the internal revenue
features OF the bill. It is no secret that
the members are considerably divided
on several propositions before them.
The first question 20 DO decided is that
or an iucome tax, and 10 looks as II the
individual income proposition would
have 20 be adopted There are oDly
three members vigorously opposed 70
this plan, Messrs. Wilson, Cochran and
Stevens. There are TWO others who
may vote with them, but it looks as II
the majority OF the members would be
Tor individual income taxes. Such a
iystem incluiing an inheritance tax
would cake % the main portion Of the
deficit. It Is doubtful II there will be
anv other retenues increased, save
nose on cigarettes and playing cards,
though upon ,he latter proposition
there is SSH considerable division Of
Ounion.
