The week on the floor of the exchange
opened strong and active, and during
the morning call leading securities re-
corded a number of sales, the tendency
of the market being upward.
In the listed stocks but little was
done until Geyser- Marion was reached.
This stock started out quite strong,
with the talent busy feeling of the
market. At the opening a transfer was
recorded at 81 cents, and as it was
evident that there was considerable
stock to be had at this figure, buyers
began to weaken and the stock huctu-
ated to SO cents, at which figure 100
shares changed hands. Repeated bids
at this quotation, however, failed to
draw cut any more of the stock, al
though 2o0 We're transferred at 961a. A
Sain OF half a cent was then noted, and
zoe shares We're dropped at the first
selling quotation and at the close the
security was very strong, and 500 shares
recorded bids at a still further advance.
Mercur was a IaVorite, and before the
close of the call a block of the stock
found a buyer at $S.45, which is near
high-water mark for this gilt-edged
stock. Declines We're noted in North
ern Light, which was weak but active
at 80 and 1872 cents. Mammoth was
also subject tc a bear attack, and lost
ground heavily.
In the unlisted securities Chloride
FONT registered important gains, and
sales were noted at the highest point
yet reached by the stock, owing, doubt
less, to the magnificent condition of
the property and also to the fact that
the company has just declared its first
dividend. Swansea was weak in the
offerings, with no buyers in the pit
South Swansea was quite strong at
about the closing quotations of the
previous call.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:
SALE OF STOCKS.
800 Geyser- Marion at 81 cents.
100 Geyser- Marion at 90 cents.

This is in no sense partisan mat
ter, although the clique behind the
scheme will try to make it one in
order that they may force the ordin-
ance through Council by partisan
vote. The Register believes, however;
as we have said before, that there ~
enough sane, Honest Republican, in
Council, who have the welfarseof the
people and the city at heaH to defy
the party whip and defsf this meas
ure. If it should go through Council
by the sheer force of a partisan ma
jority, it would be sad commentary
on the patriotism and intelligence as
well as the political wisdom of that
majority. for it would be one Of the
worst blows the Republican party ever
received in this city. And the scheme
would be overwhelmingly defeated by
the people at the polls. Hence, there is
a political as we'll as financial and
common sense reason for defeating
this scheme

RIVER NEWS.
Daily Chronicle OF tha Movements OF the
fsOats and BOatmen.

pafly Chronicle OF tho Movements OF the
Boats and Boatmen.
Old mariners, who several weeks ago,
predicted that there would be rise last
week, have sought secluded spots. The
Ohio river is nothing more than a
creek. Ragged rocks, jagged piles Of
boulders and miles of sandbars have
taken the place of the stream that a
few months ago was mighty river,
carrying upon its bosom thousands of
tons of products to the markets of the
South. The spectacle is a sorry one.
All the boats are tied up, and it looks
as though navigation will not be re-
sumed for at least another month, if
then.
Capt. Isaac c. Woodward, the veteran
rlverman and president of the Pittsburg,
Brownsville and Geneva Packet Com
pany, who was Frustrated with paralysis
last week, is much improved

on the Ohio side completed and have re-
moved their dredgeboat out to the Ken
lucky pier and will begin the work of
removing it.
The ferry Charon will be brought
up from the Parkersburg docks the
latter part of the week to resume her
old run between Bellaire and Ben
wood. The boat has been thoroughly
overhauled and presents a neat ap-
pearance.

country. AS we could not, under the
changed conditions, offer this sort OF
Intervention, we shall be left without
any function to perform in straighten-
ing out the tangled situation in Cuba,
though our own commerce is suffering
heavily.
The outlook, therefore, is for a pro-
longation of the struggle in Cuba along
lines through which the United States
can scarcely effect an entrance to the
inner circle in order to assert our claim
as the conservator of peace and orderly
progression in the New World.

SAGASTA'S POLICY.

The policy adopted by the new Span
ish ministry of pacificating Cuba, if pos
sible, will if pursued make it impossi-
BILE for the United States government
to interfere. In this Sagasta shows
his wisdom. He sees that the home
government can not defeat the Cubans,
that the United States is in no mood
to allow the barbarous war to continue
further, and, so, has adopted a pacifi-
catory policy as last desperate resort
for saving the revenues of the opulent
island to the Spanish Treasury, which
is depleted beyond the hope of recovery
through any other means than the
rapid rehabilitation of Cuba.
The Cubans, however, are more de-
termined than ever to continue their
struggle, and the collapse of the Cano-
vas party has only strengthened this
resolve, if the talk of their official rep
resentatives in this country and the dec
laration of Gomez, their great strategist,
and of Garcia, their bravest and most
daring fighter, can be relied on as voic-
ing the real wishes and intention of the
patriots. This makes the situation all
the more stubborn for Sagasta to deal
with, however good may be his inten-
lions to bring the war to a close on
terms involving concessions from both
sides. Nothing short of absolute indie
pendence now seems to be the wish of
the Cubans, and autonomy appears to
be as Objectionable to them as their
former status.
This places the United States in an
unenviable position before the world.
We cannot interfere with SPANS at
tempt to restore peace on the island by
proper and recognized means. As long
as these are the subject of negotiation
we can do nothing for the Cubans that
would not be an unwarranted breach
HnQf international law that would bring
upon us the reproaches of other
ments. With the change of front
seems likely Sagasta is going
about the tender of our
ces'' will have to be trans
Spain to Cuba. The only
ch the Cubans probably
rtain would be that looking

From the tone of the press of the
country, it is very likely that Congress
will be forced to investigate the "sec-

explanation from Senator Elkins as to

nal proceeding pass unnoticed or allow

THE MONEY QUESTION IN OHIO.

THE MONEY QUESTION IN OHIO.
Those Ohio politicians who are try
ing to make the people of the Buckeye
State believe that the money question
is already settled and is dead issue
and ought not to be brought up in the
Ohio election, are stating condition
which they wished existed, but which
they know does not exist.
Some distinguished candidates try
to hoodwink the people by saying the
tariff question is the only question TO
be considered and the only one that
can give prosperity to the country.
This year Legislature is to be
chosen in Ohio which will elect
United States Senator. The vote of
that Senator on the money question
may be the decisive vote which will re-
establish bimetallism in this country
or defeat it forever. Never in he
history Of the State has there been a
more national question or one of
greater Importance than the election Of
United States Senators this year. The
same monetary system is in vogue to-
day as before the panic. Similar con-
ditions would set this machinery to
working backwards just as they did
before. The same conditions repro
duced-and history is always reproduc.
ing itself-would enable a strong gold
syndicate to draw out all the gold in
the United States treasury just as it
did before, and compel the govern
ment, in order to maintain it's credit,
to issue another 1852 200, 900 of ponds,
TO remain as a perpetual burden upon
the energies of the people, as monu-
ment to the cost of the gold standard.
This money question is a very live
issue; it is far from being settled; it
was never more alive than to-day. 1t
will not be settled by international
agreement and will remain a live issue
-d,,r; ~ .ls a.st p,es;A-z.,sialz ean,-
paign. 1t will never down Until it is
successful or the English policy is fas-
tened upon America beyond redemp-
ton. We understand that The money.
loaning centers of the East, of Eng
and and Germany, are all united for
gold standard. that they want the
English standard and the English
monetary policy. The people, the
large proportion of the producing peo.
pie, not only in America, but in Eng
land, France and Germany, are in
dead earnest to secure the free coin
age Of silver. There is too much hon
est conviction and determination in the
public mind all over the world, and
there are too many interests at stake,
and the plain people of the world have
been forced to make too many sacri-
fees for the benefit of the owners Of
bonds and mortgages rot to feel where
their duty end their interests lie AS
a part of this great question the cleo
ton of United States Senator is before
preston of opinion, and the legislature
elected must voice the opinion of the
State
The Governor to be elected is also to
hold position of great responsibility.
In case of the death of either of the
Senators the Governor holds the power
of appointment, so next to being a SEN
ator he holds the greatest responsible
ity on this vital question. Therefore,
in the election of Governor, the people
should stand by the man who is thor
oughly in earnest and honestly in favor
of bimetallism, which is for the interest
of all the people.

A realistic train robbey in which an
expess car is blown up with dynamite
and the safe cracked is one of the ex-
citing incidents in Thomas H. Davis
and William T. Keogh's new western
play, ''The Great Train Robbery" of
which Scott is the author The scene
of the robbery is laid in the bandit-in-
tested section of Northern Texas, Okla
homa and the Indian Territory. For
years this country has been deprecated
by gangs of the worst desperadoes
known to the civilized world. 1.-THE
Great Train Robbery abounds not only
in scenes of pulse-quickening sensa-
ton, but also in exhilarating comedy.
It's incidents and characters are decid-
eddy picturesque, distinctively Ameri-
can, and the first to attempt to portray
with any degree of accuracy the life
of these localities. An elaborate scenic
production has been given the play, one
especially fine scene showing the great

rugged beauty. At the Opera House

III well in the southwest extern.

The Hill well in the southwest extern
sion of the Elk Fork field, is still hold
ing up to about 20 barrels an hour, and
it is now believed the production of the
well will be permanent. There is not
the least doubt but that this well has
opened up an extension of the field in
that direction.
Treat & Crawford's No. ! on the Fer
rell farm, at Elk Fork, in the vicinity
of the Hill well, is drilling at a depth
of 800 feet and will be due in the
sand the latter part of the week.
Steelsmith & Co.'S we'll on the
Moggs farm, in Sugar run, in Tyler
county, is drilling at about 800 feet.
This we'll is one of the most important
tests in the county and it is being
watched very closely by the talent, for
it it comes in producer it will open up
large amount of new territory in the
southern part of the county.
The Kanawha Oil Company's we'll on
the Work farm, in Wetzel county, which
was drilled in few days ago, has been
cleaned out and tubed and is now re-
ported making 100 barrels day.
Ramey & Co.'s well on the Schnell
farm at Benwood, about which there
has been so much trouble in the way OF
fishing, and which was expected in
yesterday. has not yet reached the sand,
and probably Will not for EA

surrounded by the best supporting

engagement of a solid week at the
Grand Opera House last night. Rich
ard Stahl's tuneful opera, Said

in an excellent manner, while the ac-
ton was beyond criticism. The COM
pany numbers about thirty vocalists
and comedians. The settings are
handsome and the costumes rich and
appropriate A big audience was pres
ent last night, and left highly pleased.
Large houses will no doubt be the
rule during the engagement, as it is
seldom that the opportunity is pre-
scented to see such excellent operate
productions at popular prices. Said
Pasha'' will be repeated at the matinee
to-day, and to-night's bill will be Fra
