lumberman who has written or spoken
to the REGISTER and told the same tale
of the Unprecedented boom in the lum-
Der trade under the new tariff.
The Intelligencer is probably acQuaint-
ed with Mr.. A. E. SWEENEY, late Of
Tyler county, who is we'll known to all
the people along the river as an active
business man, who is now in Pittsburg
associated with his brother in the lum-
Der business. Mr.. SWEENEY told the
REGISTER the other day that he had
made more money during the past too
months than during any similar period
of his business career. He said also
that prices stimulated by the increased
demand for lumber under the new tariff
bill were much better than they were
last year. Aud he is in high spirits
over the outlook in his branch OF trade
If the Calamity HoWler does not know
Mr.. SWEENEY, it doubtless is acQuaint-
ed with Hon. w. w. THOMAS, of Put
nam county. The latter gentleman re-
marked to the REGISTER last week,
appropos of free lumber, that he was
getting better prices for lumber now
than last year, and was entirely salts
fed with the outlook.
So much for the prosperity OF the
lumber trade in West Virginia under
free lumber. The Wilson bill, with It's
free raw material and greatly reduced
tariff barriers, which relieve the build
ing trades OF the restraints, burdens
and shackles of McKinleyism is just
what the lumber industry of West Vir
gtnia wants. 1t defes competition any
where; all it wants is increased mar
kets, and the Wilson bill furnishes
them.

New YORK, October 25.-L. C. Weir,
president OF the Adams Express Com
pany, received a pouch to-day contain
ing a number OF bonds, insurance poll
cles, stocks, drafts, bills OF lading and
other valuable documents. These

The pouch was one OF the express
bags taken from the train by the rob-
bers, who showed all their booty into ii.
The money was afterwards extracted
aud the pouch, with the remainder Of
its contents, was hid in the woods near
Calverton, Va.
Searcey, the captured robber, who
has turned states evidence, revealed the
hiding place 10 the authorities and the
pouch was sent 10 Mr.. Weir.
The recovery of these valuable iocu-

To the Dying Czar-His Life was the
Greatest Assurance of Peace

Greatest Assurance of Peace.
LONDON, October 25.-Lord Rosebery
made an address tonight at the banquet
Of the Cutters Society, of Sheffield, in
which he paid a high tribute 70 the
Car. Lord Rosebery said:
I'VE bad in him a monarch whose
watchword, whose reign and whose
character had been a worship of
truth and peace;" he would not
say that the Car would rank
among the Caesars and the Napoleons OF
history, but II peace had her victories
not less renowned than war he would
reign in history IS not less entitled 10
fame than either Caesar or Napoleon.
1t was due TO mis- character and Influence
as much as TO any other cause that
peace had been preserved. HIS death
would mean the removal of one OF the
greatest, perhaps the greatest, guaran-
tee Of peace 10 the world.
Lord RoSebe Try denied that the cabi-
net had discussed the question Of inter
yenton in the Chinese-Japanese war,
or that any circular had been issued
or rebuff received. He dilated upon the
seriousness for Great Britain Of the de-
struction OF Ceptral government Of
China. and said that this would be an
appalling danger TO every Christian
within it's reach.
After the first Japanese victory, Lord
RoSebery added, news mad reached Her
Majesty's government from a source Of
toe highest authority that China was
willing TO concede honorable terms Of
peace, which considerably exceeded the
demands made by Japan when she en-
tered upon the war. These terms Japan
might have accepted without any dim
mutton of her prestige.
The Prime Minister'S remarks were
greeted with prolonged cheering.
