Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
Parkersburg, w. Va, January 21.-
Marshall Johnson, the negro arrested
at Fairmont and brought here last night
by Detective Mehen. will more than
likely be released after he is given a
hearing, as he is not thought to be the
man wanted by any one here.
Detective Mehen received a photo
and' the description of the mulatto un-
der arrest at UniOntOwn, and thinks he
is the man seen by Mason at Monongah
the Sunday after the assault He gives
his name as jim Sherman, and says he
is from Wyoming. but refuses to come
here without a requisition, as he fears
he will be lynched. He does not give a
very good account of himself, however,
and refuses to talk.
A pawn ticket for 60 cents for watch
pawned. was also found on Johnson,
and some letters to a girl at Grafton.
Requisition papers have been made
ont for the mulatto in Jail at Union
town Pa. and Detective Mehen will go
after the man.
Another arrest has also been made at
Warrington.
1t has been learned that the negro in
custody at Uniontown has destroyed
his clothes, and the belief is general
that he is the man wanted for the as
s9ult.

The Globe Considers the Venezuelan Com
mission Rather Ncrvy-HOw Any other
Nation Would lie treated.
London, January 21.-The Globe this
afternoon publishes a severe article
on the invitation of the L. S. Venezue-
Ian commission to the governments of
Great Britain and Venezuela to submit
to the commission all evidence in their
possession which is likely to further
the work of the inv stigatiOn and also
inviting these TWO governments TO be
represented before it by attorneys
without prejudice to either's claims,
and says:
Great Britain will never allow the
monstrous claim to determine the ter
ritory of a British colony within its
jurisdiction. No power could admit il
except at the close of a long and dis
astrous war. Were such a demand
made by any other power. our reply
would be to hand its ambassador his
passports and mobilize the feet.
"Will these pernicious commission
ers undertake to answer for the effect
upon their own countrymen of forcing
the Premier to snub the American Sec
retary of Stale?"

WILL COIN SOME SILVER.
Eighteen Million Silver Dollars to be Made
Up from stock on Hand.


Washington, January 21.-AbOut Feb
ruary 1, the Treasury Department Will
resume the coinage of silver dollars ana
continue until about S1S,00O,OOO have
been coined. When the present admin
istration came into power there were IN
the treasury about $29,000000 in silver
dollars coined from bullion under the
act of 1890 and available for the redemp-
tion of treasury notes issued in payment
for the bullion purchased. Since Au-
gust, 1898. about S1S,O0O00O of these
notes have been redeemed in silver dol
lars and cancelled. The Secretary Of
the Treasury has now decided to coin
from the bullion on hand and purchased
under the act of 1890, about $lS,0OO,OOO,
which will restore the amount Of dollars
in the treasury tc what it was on March
4, 1893 The average cost of the silver
bullion purchased under the Sherman
act was 711a cents on the dollar, which
leaves a gain or seniorage Of 2S12 cents
on the dollar. At this rate the signio-
rage on the $1S,OOO,0O0 to be coined
would be $4,000 which will be ac-
counted for in the available cash on
hand, increasing it by that amount
The order for the resumption OF the
coinage at the mints at Philadelphia,
New Orleans and San Francisco is eX-
pected in a day or two.

Washington, January 21.-From the
action of the House Committee on Com
merce to-day, there seems to be little
doubt that a bill authorizing the Pacific
Gable Company, to lay a cable from the
Pacific coast to the Hawaiian Islands
and Japan, will be favOrably reported
within a short time. The committee di-
rected a Subcommittee to prepare a
bill embracing certain changes con-
sidered desirable from the bill outlined
by the company. There will be a con-
ference between members of the State
Department officials regarding arrange
ments for cable station on the Mar
shall Islands, which are owned by Ger
many.
The principal points of difference be-
tween the cable company and the COM
mittee are the amount of government
subsidy to be granted and the time TO be
allowed for laying The cable. 1t is pro-
posed by the company to have the cable
working to the Hawaiian islands in
eighteen months and completed to
Japan in three years. The bill 10 be
drafted Will reduce this time. The
subsidy asked is $1S0,0O0 a year for
term OF twenty years, the government
TO have free use OF the cable in that
time.
In the course of the discussion. it
was argued that the subsidy asked was
too large in view of the estimated cost
Of the work $4,000, 600 to $1,000 900. and
the probable amount of government bus
mess, which the committee estimated
at from $4,000 to $4,000. The sugges-
ton was also entertained that subsi-
dies might be granted by the japanese
government, and possibly China.
THE BILL TO BE FRAMED
Will probably reduce the subsidy It
will also embrace provisions to secure
to the United States government the
right of way in the use of the cable
James 5. Scrymser, president, and
r. l.. Baylies, vice president of the COM
pany, have written Chairman HEPBURN
accepting suggestions made by the COM
mittee that the company shall deposit
IN the treasury 100000 in bonds. to be
forfeited in case it fails to complete the
work within the specified time. Rates
between the United States and the ISL
and Of Oahu shall. not exceed IS cents
per word, and $3.50 TO Japan and China,
also that after twenty years govern
ment messages shall be carried at press
rates, not to exceed One-quarter of busl-
ness rates.
Mr.. Bennett. of New York, has asked
Secretary Olney for an opinion whether
it would be necessary to make a treaty
with the German government to secure
the right to establish a cable station on
the Marshall islands.
