The first official race of the Bridgeton
Homing Club was an unqualified sue

rounding the fly were not at all satisfac-
tory. Sixty birds were shipped to WASH
ington, D. c., on Wednesday, but owing
to the storm they were not liberated un-
til Friday. Fifty-two birds came the
same day, The birds were liberated at 10
O'Clock in the mornitg. The first bird
home was black chicken hen Of Frank
E. Robinson, it being F. No. 36,S09. The
bird reeched the loft at 1.03.1S O'Clock.

Charles Davis, ofMcl[echen, Loses His
Life in the Ohio River Fell from
q Fargo and Swept Under by the
Current.

Early yesterday afternot-- Charles
Davis, well known resident of Nc
Mechen, was accidentally drowned at
Wegee, a short distance below Bell
aire. Davis at the time was superin-
tending job Of loading stone on q
barge at Davis stone quarry, which
is owned by his cousin. Davis was
walking along the outer edge OF the
boat when it was given lurch by
some of the men pulling on the ropes.
He lost his balance and fell into the
river The water at that place was
considerably deeper than most points
along the river. 1t was sufficient to
drown a man and, combined with the
current and the suction under the
boat, Davis was carried under and
did not return to the surface. The
affair happened in twinkling, before
aid could be extended to Davis.
The deceased was about So years of
age and leaves a wife and three chill
dren. He has number of relatives
and many friends at McMechen and
vicinity. For three years he was en-
gagged in the grocery business at Nc
Mechen, but quit last April and has
been employed as foreman by his
cousin at the stone quarry at Wegee.
The body of Davis was recovered
about six o'clock last evening and re-
moved to McMechen. The funeral will
occur to-day, the interment to take
place at Limestone cemetery.

OIL N EWS.

During the past three or four years
there has been number OF attempts
made to find oil in the immediate
vicinity of Middlebourne, Tyler coun-
ty, but of all the wells drilled in that
territory none Of them have amounted
to great deal, and yesterday another
of the same kind of wells was drilled
in by the South Penn Oil Company ON
the Meredith farm, near what is
known as the jug" on Middle Island
creek When drilled in the well show
ed light gas pressure and little oil,
but the gas soon blew out and the
well will not make more than two or
three barrels of oil day. There are
a couple of wells drilling within a mile
of the we'll mentioned above, and a
report received last evening was to
the effect that they had both been
shut down and would in all probability
be abandoned. u,
The Cameron O., field got it again
yesterday evening, and it looks very
much now as though the field had gone
up the flue. The Fisher Oil Company's
No. 2 on the Grow farm, was drilled
through the sand last evening and will
probably be good for as much as three
barrels day, while Wiley & Stender's
we'll on the O. Greer tract, is good for
about five barrels day. This makes
things look very blue in that section,
and a lease can be gotten over there
very cheap. Some of the work just
starting over there has been shut
down and the wells will not be drilled.
The Kenny & Mcdonald Companys
No. IA on the Pipes farm, at Elk
Fork, was started spudding yesterday.
The same company's No. Is has a fish
ing job, having lost bit on the big
line just on top of the sand, which
will take several days to straighten
out.
Treat & Crawford have fishing job
at their No. i on the Williams at
about 1900 feet. Their No. 2 on the
Williams and No. 2 on the Terrell are
drilling.
The fishing job on the we'll being
drilled on the Aaron Morgan farm in
WetZel county, is bad one, and it
looks very much now as though it
would be necessary to move the rig and
drill a new hole. The tools were lost
on top of the sand just after nice gas
pressure and little oil had been
found.

4 DISC UST1NG EXHIBITION.

Senator Tillman of South Carolina
has made many public exhibitions OF
himself in attestation of his mate vul-
garity and entire unfitness for public
station Of any kind, least of all in
those requiring some degree Of publ
city. But he never distinguished him
self and the disgrace of the state that
selects such blatherskite as it's re-
preventative in national councils than
in his recent address before the Farm
ers' Institute at Abbeyville, S. G.
Before an audience of farmers it
might naturally be supposed a speak
er would devote some attention to
the subject of agriculture. Not so
Tillman, however.
He addressed himself largely to a
defense of the dispensary law of
which he is is the putative father and
which has been declared unconstitu-
tional by the U. S. courts, and in Will
flying all who opposed it.
Incidentally, he renewed his ridic-
ulous claim of being the only repres-
entative of 10000, 900 farmers in the
Senate of the United States.
And then with that excess of vanity
of which he is endowed by nature and
cultivation, he entered upon eulo-
gy of himself and boasted of his in
fuence in the legislative body he dis
graces. He told how the galleries
were crowded when he was announc-
ed to speak and how the cloak rooms
were en1ptied when he took the floor,
and soIforth.
: 1t is altogether likely TiHnnan told
the truth about the crowded Igalleries
and empty cloak rooms when he took
or was announced to take the floor.
Such exhibitions invite curiosity in
the same manner as dime museum
freaks invite crowds. But there is
no member of either branch of Con-
gress whose influence upon legisla-
tion or upon the minds and conduct
of his associates is so infinitesimal as
Tillman's. He commands the respect
of no one whose respect is worth the
possession of decent folk. His vanity
and vulgarity are about on par with
his insincerity.
And beyond an occasional rebuke
for his indecency, no one of his col
leagues deems him worthy of serious
attempt to puncture his efforts. And,
perhaps, that is after all the best way
to deal with the Tillmans of this gen.
eration.-St. Albans Messenger.

them down at any cost. just What
plan of action President Mckinley
has decided upon is not known at
present, but it is thought he will
present, through Minister Woodford,
the American claims against Spain
and if they refuse to do anything
about them or refuse to protect
American property in Cuba, that our
government may take more active
hand in the Cuban affair than hereto
fore. But whether this government
interferes or not the Cubans are car
rying on the war in such a way that
they seem to be sure of winning in
the end. The way that the island is
being devastated it will not be worth
much to the winning party for many
years. If the Spanish win they will
grind it down so that it will never see
prosperity, but if the Cubans gain
their liberty they should be able to
build things up once more and in
time the people Of the island should
be in prosperous condition.

nationalities." 1t has brought about
building up of the chief Samoa L
entry port of Apia. tMore progress
has been made in the municipality" +"
says Judge Ide, ''in the way of ac-
quisition of public property, facilities
for extinguishing fire and the build
ing of roads and bridges within the
six years since the treaty went into
actual operation than in all the sixty
prior years."
The Samoans now have fixed seat
of Government. The prohibition of
liquor selling to natives is well en-
forced, and the general confusion of
land titles, has been remdeied. Final
ly, the creation of the Supreme Court
has given the Samoans an object les
son in the administration of exact
justice, and has brought order and
tranquility to the islands, What is
more notable, 'sall this has been ac-
complished wholly by moral force,
without the aid of the Powers in a
single instance. .'-JournaL.

CUBA.

Weyler has been telling for several
months that Cuba was about pacifed,
and judging from present appear
ances we do not doubt the statement.
But instead of his having pacified it
we should judge that the pacifcation
would come by his being driven from
the island. The Cuban forces have
been hammering away at Havana,
Weyler's stronghold, and they seem
to be having it about their own way
over a good part of the island. There
are many Spanish strongholds which
are well garrisoned and which they
can hold for a long time, but the
Spanish do not appear to be able to
control the country except in the
vicinity of these forts. While the
Cubans are not armed so that they
can come out and fight the Spanish
troops in the open field, as they have
not enough artillery, they do not
hesitate to fight them whenever they
can meet them on equal footing. The
Cubans think that the death of Pre-
mier Canovas will be a help to their
cause, as he was determined to put

4 SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT.

Hawaiian affairs and the project
for annexation have diverted public
attention of late from Samoa, those
rich and beautiful islands lying be-
yond Hawaii, on the route to Austria
liza, where the United States has long
had important influence.
By the terms of the Berlin treaty
of 1889, joint protectorate was es-
tablished over Samoa. The United
States, Great Britain and Germany,
through what has become known as
the 'taipartite agreement" made
themselves responsible for the peace
full and impartial administration of
the islands. The chief figure in this
protectorate has been an American
citizen, the Hon. Henry G. Ide of
Vermont, Chief Justice of Samoa.
Judge Ide has recently relinquished
his post'and returned to this country.
In an elaborate article on 'tOur In
terests in Samoa" in the August
North american RevieaO, he shows
what the treaty has accomplished.
to the dangerous quarrels between
the German residents in Samoa on
the one side and the American citi-
zens and British subjects on the
other, which, in 1888, almost brought
the United States and Germany to
the verge of war. It has assured the
neutrality and autonomy of the
islands, and saved from European
grasp the last important archipelago
except Hawaii now remaining unap-
propriated in the Pacific 1t has per-
fected our title to Pago Pago Harbor
as a coaling station-the best and
safest harbor in those distant seas.
The treaty has secured to our citi
zens now resident in Samoa, and to
such of them assshalI hereafter carry
our flag and our commerce thither,
absolute equality with all others in
trade and protection of the laws and
freedom from aggressions by other

4 WAR OF GIANTS.

The strike of engineers in Great
Britain, with the consequent lock out
by employers, constitutes one of the
most serious industrial struggles of
recent years.
A circumstance which contributes
to the obstinacy of the encounter is
that both parties to it are unusually
well equipped, and that both appar-
emily have been waiting only for a
good pretext to measure their
strength. On one side is the Anal
gamated Society of Engineers and
the trade associations affiliated with
it. The society has been conserva-
lively managed, and has been for
some time accommodating money in
preparation for emergencies, until its
surplus amounts to nearly one end
half million dollars. On the other
side is the Federation of Engineer
Employers, comprising most of the
employing engineers of the kingdom,
and bound together by a pledge of
mutual help in case of labor quarrels.
The question in contest is the eight
hour day. A considerable number of
employers have conceded the shorter
working day, and it seemed to the
managers Of the Amalgamated Engi-
neers that the time had come when
the eight-hour day could be forced on
unwilling employers. The plan de-
cided on was strategic. 1t was to call
out the men employed by few firms,
to force the issue with all the strength
of the society TO support the striking
engineers by the contributions of en-
gineers still at work, and, as one en-
ployer after another yielded, to ex-

CANOVAS ASSASSINATE

Senior Canovas del Castillo, the
prime minister of Spain, was shot last
Sunday by one of the anarchists
which abound in that country. He
fingered for few hours but the
wound was fatal and nothing could
be done to save his life. Senior Can
ovas had been noted figure in
Spanish politics for many years and
was one of the greatest statesmen in
Europe. He was staunch friend and
a loyal supporter of the Spanish
royalty. He always ruled with an
iron hand and doubtless made many
enemies among those who are in op
position to the present form of Span
ish government. 1t is doubtful if the
Spanish colonies will mourn for him
as he could not be called their friend,
but was always inclined to grind
them down. He was the one man
above all others who has kept Weyler
in Cuba devastating the island and
has upheld him in all of his work. His
policy towards the anarchists made
caused his death. He has done much
towards forming the policy of the
Spanish government for the past few
years and it has been a policy which,
instead of binding the Spanish colo
nies closer to Spain, has caused them
to rebel against the government. 1t
is well for the Cuban government
that Canovas' murderer was not con-
nected with, them ir any way. 1t is
not thought that the continuance of
the war in Cuba had anything to do
with with the murder, it appeared to
have been more for vengeance. That
Canovas was a great statesman can
not be denied, but he was not one to
form lasting government; as soon
as his iron hand was taken from the
rudder the tendency would be for
such a government to fall to pieces
Whether the present government will
exist long in Spain or not remains to
be seen.

tend the struggle to. those remaining,
on the same plan. Four London con-
Germs were selected to begin with,
and the strike was ordered. But the
Amalgamated Society apparently did
not calculate on the course which
would be taken by the Federation of
Employers. That organization ac-
copied the action against the London
firms as gage of battle. 1t announc-
ed that one quarter of the engineers
employed by members of the Fedora
ton would be discharged at the end
of the first week, another quarter at
the end of the second week, and so on
until all had been locked out. There
upon the AmaIgamated Engineers
abandoned their first plan of cam
paign and ordered out Immediately
all the engineers, without waiting for
the series of lockouts to tax effect.
Looking at the question merely as
one of industrial strategy, it is clear
that the employers gained by this
proceeding, for it cut off the striking
engineers from the support of their
brethren, and threw the whole body
on the funds of the society. The ques-
tion now becomes one of endurance,
for the burden of supporting one hum
dred thousand men, more or less, is
not light ono, even with the re-
sources which the society has it's
treasury. At last accounts neither
side showed signs of yieldi ng, though
there was increasing talk of arbitra-
