CHARLESTON. W. Va, Feb. 1.-The

mont citizons to-day. 4 meeting was
held at the Opera house, and in wran.

came 40 interesting that the police were
required to keep the peace. John B.

and as result. is now using pins instead
OF buttons on his vest. As twas iinpos-
sible to secure order, ono faction re-
paired to the city hall and held meet.
ing, while the other remained at the
Opera house. Each meeting adopted
resolutions and appointed committees
to appear before the senate on Monday.
House bill No. 90, introduced BY Mr..
Hoover. Of Webster county, concerning
appointments and terms OF office OF no.
taries public, is creating a little breeze
on tho ground that 1t provides for ex-
ira fees for the secretary OF state and
for county clerks. 1t makes the term OF
Office eight years instead OF during
good behavior, and requires the notary
to qualify before the county court,
which means two fees every eight years.
The bill has passed tho house. A fight
may be made against il in the senate.
AS indicated last night Governor
MacCorkle reported to the senate to-day
his appointments oNotiicers for the new
county OF Min.o, which were duly con.
tirlned by the senate. OF the eight, six
are recognized Republicans, Messrs.
Deskins, Stafford, Anderson, Drake,
keadle and Varncy. 1t was indicated
that the appointment Of these men was
desired BY the people OF the new county,
and the governor has shown himself
strong enough to lay par,issnship aside,
and listen to the voice OF tho people.
Messrs. wilkinson and Hatfield are
Democrats.
Judge Fleming will express himself
tomorrow on the Virginia debt ques.
ton. when his resolution for printing
the report Of the senate finance commit
tee Of 1873. with the report OF the Nir-
ginis debt commission, will come up.
The house railroad committee, in ses-
sion this afternoon. decided to report
adversely on Messrs. Martins and Nor
ris's bills (Nos % and l27) to prevent
unjust determinations in tariff, and on
266. introduced by Mr.. White. Of Mer-
Ger, requiring railroad companies to
fence their lines.
Abill was introduced in the house yea.
terday providing for the taxation OF dogs
and another for tho preservation Of
sknnks. In the afternoon bill amend.
ing the game law was up, and an
amendment was proposed prohibiting
snaring and trapping rabbits. The
amendment provoked some discussion,
when it was mentioned that another
bill, more general in its provisions but
covering the same ground, would be up
tomorrow. Mr.. Toler moved TO table
the bill, saying he did not believe in
spending two days on "ferrets and pole
cats" His motion prevailed, aud the
lost time was more than made up in
dispo.iug OF bills on first reading.

LowEsroFT, Feb. 1.-The terrific
weather Of tho past forty.eish. hours
continues along the east coast Of Eng.
land. Visits made this morning 10 al
tho various life saving and coast guardl
stations show that no. additional news
has been received in regard to the loss
OF the steamship Elbe and no trace has
been found OF the missing lifeboat sup.
posed to contain people from tha,

Tho sea is so rough that many OF tho
fishing smacks are unable to make por!
and are beating up and down tho coas.
waiting for chance to run into some
barbor.
In reply to message OF sympathy
from Queen Victoria, the agept here OF
the North German Lloyd Steamship
Company has tolegraphed her majesty
that no hopos whatever are entertained
OF any more OF the passengers or crew
OF the steamship Elbe having been
saved.
Itbecamo known to-day that the Elbo
had on board the body OF N. c. Con.
ners. OF Dakota, who recently died in a
sanitarium at Berlin.
Tho mayor OF this town has opened a
fund to be given to tho captain OF tho

ial for his rescue OF the survivors OF the
Elbe disaster.
Tho official inquiry into tho founder.

Tho British steamer Cra,hie, which
ran into and sank tho Elbe, has been
seques,ered at Rotterdam. Her captain

dispute between Guatemala aud Mexico.
"rhe disputed strip" said Mr.. Morgan,
