The Senate Committee on tariff is
sitting almost constantly now, not only
through the day, but we'll into the
night and is holding frequent
conferences with the full Democratic
mem bership Of the committee. The sub
committee has almost completed
its work on the minor details OF the bill,
but the more important questions which
have passed them from the beginning,
unless II may be the income tax, are
still giving them worry and many Of
them do not appear 10 be any
nearer settled than they we're when
the bill first reached the Senate.
There no longer appears disposition
10 change the income tax Ia any way,
and IL may be accepted that 70 will be
returned. Indications still point 70 an
increase OF the whisky tax TO Sl.20 per
gallon and an extension Of the bonded
period. though there IS some disagree
ment in the committee.
Figures furnished by the Internal
Revenue Commissioner, who has been In
frequent conference with the commit
tee, show that II the bonded period Is TO
be extended the increase made
hv the House will not increase
the immediate revenues az all,
If the tax is TO remain as
fixed by the House, whereas II the tax
is 81. 20 instead OF 81. the bonded period
can be extended and the revenue in

/ Governor and Mr.. Page based
their arguments To- support Of

facts set forth in the report The facts
are that the pollution OF the New river

made bY the Governor and Mr.. Page
that the pollution of the river waters

VIRGINIA NAY SUE WEST VIRGINIA.
A Blu Introduced in the House of Dele
gates Looking to the End.
SpeadI Isssorasn 20 tas Rsgistsr

RICHMOND. VA, February 16.-In
the House OF Delegates to-day bill
was introduced which provides that
this State shall bring suit in the United
States Supreme Court against West
Virginia in order to recover the portion
OF the debt which Virginians claim the
latter State owes this Commonwealth.
Mr. Patterson, the patron Of the bill,
has this to say in explanation Of his
measure:
While it is to some extent on the same
line with the bill Of Mr. Henry Wick
ham, it differs with IL in many respects.
1t asks for no commission. We have
tried commission after commission
without avail, and while do not say or
intimate that there is any job in Mr..
Wickham's bill, for be is incapable Of
of such legislation. being, as he is. one
of the highest and purest legislators
Virginia has ever mad in her existence,
yet the appointment Of the two chair
men Of the Finance committees OF the
House and Senate as commissioners is
wholly wrong in principle. Both or
said gentlemen are of the highest char
acter and most worthy men, but 90 man
ought to be member of any such COM
mission unless he is endorsed by ma
jority of both Houses. That Is Demo-
cratic and proper. Ny bill purposes TO
cut the gordian knot in an honorable
and proper manner The State of Vir-
ginia is liable as assignor of the West
Virginia certificates under the 1871
funding act, according TO the opin-
ion of Judge Woou Bouldin,
in the celebrated cases OF
Higginbotham against the Common
wealth Of Virginia. Then the certit-
Gates under the act OF 1887 are In the
highest degree dangerous, and any man
can Offset claims against the State ot
Virginia by using these particular GER
tificates. To state such proposition is
to show its danger. Now, a suit will
cure all of that, because West Virginia
has in her fundamental law, and in
her Constitution, admitted la
bilty to the State OF Vir-
ginia on proper settlement
OF accounts. Thus we see that West
Virginia is obliged to gain the suit, and
il will settle, In an honorable way, FOR
all time, vexed and important ques
ton. Virginia, for the fifth time in her
history, is in a condition 70 bring the
suit 1t can have but one conclusion,
and that will be honorable to the State
of Virginia"
In the Senate, the substitute to the
Wickham resolution in regard to set
Element with West Virginia her alleged
portion of the State debt was passed.
The only difference between the substi-
tute and the original resolution is that
the clause in the latter which author
ICES the State 10 bring suit against West
Virginia is stricken out. The status OF
the matter now Is that a measure has
passed the Senate authorizing settle
ment by amicable means. and bill has
been introduced I'm the House authoriz-
ing Virginia TO bring suit in order TO
secure the portion of the debt demanded
from West Virginia.

u. S. Deputy Marshal Thomas Flow
er captured John Z. Freeland, an ex-
convict, on the charge Of handling q
counterfeit half dollar, one mile west Of
Burton, at the home OF his father, this
morning, and brought him here for trial.
L. $ Commissioner Williams and Dep
uty Marshal Flowers have been after
him for several weeks.
Freeland is a large, good looking
man about forty years of age. He was
given life sentence in the penitentiary
from this county several years ago for
the murder OF old man Starkey, his uncle.
The murder was committed in Wetzel
county, but the trial was held in this
county on account OF the prejudice
which existed ia that.
Freeland was pardoned out about a
year since, by Ex-Governor A. Is. Flem-
ing, on the presentation that he was
about to die with consumption, the Pc
tition for his release being signed by a
large number of prominent meu Of this

ring. He will be taken before United
States Commissioner MILAN tomorrow,

nesses, many of whom live several miles
in the country can be brought In.

LOS ANGELES, OAL., reOEudIy 10
The bOldest train robbery that ever oc-
Cured in Southern California, took
place little after midnight at Roscoe.
The train. was No. 20, scheduled TO
leave the depot at 1910. Engineer
Thomas, as the train approach
ed the switch at Roscoe,
discovered a man standing beside
the switch with a faring torch, and
that the switch had been left open. He
put on the air, but the train was going
at unusual speed and the momentum
precluded the possibility Of avoiding
disaster. The engineer heard the sharp
cracking Of revolvers and many bullets
whistled past him, breaking the win
dows Of the cab. The train crashed over
into the ditch, over fill fifteen feet
high. Engineer Thomas jumped eS-
Gaping injury. Fireman Masters was
Dinioned under the tender and horribly
crushed. Two men wearing masks
leaped from the bushes alongside the
track, on each side OF the train, and
commenced fusilade. One of the men
went to the express car door, demand
ing that it be opened. Upon the refusal
OF the messenger, the robbers placed
bombs oD the sill, aud nearly the whols
side Of the car was torn to splnters.
Harry Edgar, the messenger, got into
abe further corner of the car, and even
then narrowly escaped death. The de-
tOnaton was most terrific.
On board the train, frightened men
and women jumped from their berths.

Just after blowing up the express car
the robbers carried many sacks Of gold

robbers kept firing into the train.
After gathering their booty, the rob-
bers mounting horses galloped off to-

care for the injured and clear away
the debris.
No better place could have been Sc
lected than Roscoe. There is short

Sheriff Cline and the detectives, Insley

apparently heading in the direction Of

evening, and says there were at least
