the federal republican form OF govern

with it's small dissimMar States and It's
political and religious dissensions. All
Italians are coming to this conclusion,
even the Pope. Dario Papa was a pa
triOt who wrote such things as this:
National decorum should consist IN not
letting the people die Of hunger
through overtaxati0n on food; then our
people would not be obliged to carry
their appetites, their rags and their
ignorance around the known world,
lowering the wages Of other workmen
by their competition, so becoming CD

to them as it would be just if turned
against the government which is the
cause of this state Of things
This tax on food has been growing
heavier each year. The duties are
double and triple what they are in
other States. The pellagra, hunger
madness, increases and the government
does nothing to relieve it, though all
that is necessary is to give the poor
creatures good food. In the meantime
millions are being wasted for the mon
archy with its armies and other fol-
lies, such as the civilizing of Africa.
The civil list is the largest in the
world compared to the resources Of the
country. Humbert receives much
more that Queen Victoria. He knows
by his official bureau of statistics that
Italy is on the verge Of collapse and
he puts his millions in the Bank of
England to have them safe"

Charleston, S. c., May Is, on Board
the Flagship Brooklyn, the Flying
Squadron, off Charleston, S. c., May
15.-The four vessels of war compris-
ing the major portion of the flying
squadron, Commodore Schley, anchor
ed off Charleston bar, nine miles from
Charleston city, at A.: 80 O'Clock this at
ternoon, after having been at sea for
three days, and with no sign of the
Spanish cruisers or torpedo boats, said
to be in this locality. The pilots were
dropped at Cape Henry on Friday night
and the squadron proceeded to sea at
a ten knot squadron speed At sunset
active
BATTLE PREPARATIONS
were made. Ports We're closed with
steel covers, battle matches covered
the main batteries of the ships loaded
and men sent TO the guns with instruc
lions for a night watch to be kept.

fog banks were run into and during one
of these intervals the collier became
detached To wait for her was partly
the reason that anchorage was made,
although Commodore Schley communi
Gated at once with Washington and the
Navy Department.
When the collier arrives all the ships
will take coal and then proceed to sea
again.
THE ONLY INCIDENT
of the trip from Hampton Roads was
the holding up of British steamer
that did not display its flag. The
Scorpion was sent after her and soon
overhauled her. She proved to be the
British steamer Elsie with a load of
phosphate rock and bound for Nor
folk, Va. She was allowed to pro-

cidents. mostly enacted at night, and
evidently arising from lack Of knowl
edge of the nationality of our ships, no
colors or lights being displayed. On
Saturday night swift merchantmen
crossed the bows Of the Brooklyn.
Suddenly the big warship turned on her
sidelights. Instantly every light on
the merchantmen went out and she
made run, evidently expecting that
she had encountered the Spanish. No
attempt was made to undeceive her
and it is expected that she will report
having seen a hostile fleet. Sunday
morning a schooner on the horizon
bearing north towards the ships sud

reversing her position, disappeared

Francisco with his regiment for Man
lila on the steamer City of Peking on
Monday night 1t is doubtful, however
if the regiment can start at the time or

ment.
Chattanooga, Tenn, May 15.-The
First regiment of cavalry, Ohio volun-
teers, 500 men and horses, arrived here
from Cincinnati at 10: 80 o'clock this

The regiment is in command Of
Lieutenant Colonel w. NJ Day. The
regiment did not bring horses and
these are to be supplied here by the
government Only one troop was sup
piled with arms.
Most of the men were without uni
forms, and they did not, therefore,
present very formidable appearance.
They are gallant set, however, and
their friends promise that they will
give good account of themselves when
they have an opportunity.
The regiment was Immediately as
signed camping grounds on the east
side Of Lafayette Road. They were
supplied with tents by Quartermaster
Lee from the recent consignment sent
here for the volunteer army. Very few
uniforms have been received at the
quartermasters apartment here, but
an order for $4,000 has been sent in
and will be filled just as rapidly as
possible. In the meantime the volun-
teer boys will have to get along with
their old ones as best they can until
this order has been filled.
Tonight at 8:15 o'clock the First
Ohio infantry from Cincinnati, eleven
companies, 500 officers and men, ar
rived at Chattanooga in two sections of
twenty cars each, over the Cincinnati
Southern railway. This regiment was
in rather striking contrast to the cav
airy regiment, being fully uniformed
and armed with Winchester rifles. All
arrived in good condition and good
spirits. They were brought immedi
ately to this point and reported to Gen.

Mount Gretna, Pa, May 1.-two
regiments of Pennsylvania volunteers
pulled out from Camp Hastings before
O'Clock this afternoon The first to
go was the Fourth, commanded by Col
Case, which moved at daybreak. After
reville two trains were made up to
take Col. Huling's Sixteenth regiment
of Oil City, and during the afternoon
the two battalions of this regiment left
on two trains amid the cheers Of the
remaining commands Both regiments
were glad to get away, as they have
been without canvas since Thursday
night, on which occasion they were to
go to New York and thence to Tampa
on transports, but failed to get away
through no fault of theirs. The tents
had all been packed on that day Sew
eral more false starts followed, until
to-day, when matters were arranged
and the start for Chickamauga was
made. The regiments left over the
Pennsylvania railway by way of Cone
maugh, Harrisburg, Pittsburg, Cincin
natl, and are to reach Camp Thomas
within thirty-three hours of departure
from Mount Gretna.
This afternoon Col. Robert Rails
ton, Of the Third regiment, received
orders to move at once and late this
evening the regiment boarded the cars
and started on the journey to Chicka
manga.

San Francisco, May 15.-All night
long the rain which commenced fall
ing yesterday nOCn continued to
drench the 5000 men camped at the
Preside, awaiting orders to proceed
to Manila to relieve Admiral Dewey.
The Preside is sea of mud, and the
troops, most of whom are lacking
proper clothing to withstand the cold
and damp, are suffering greatly, but
they do net complain. Although their
tents are surrounded by the miniature
lakes and small rivulets course through
the camps underneath cots and shake
down beds not a whimper is heard.
There has been so much to do and
so little time in which to do it, that it
has been impossible for the officers to
look after every detail and they were
much handicapped owing to their ina
bility to secure the articles necessary
for the comfort of the men, the stocks
of local merchants being depleted early
in the week.
The Charleston is still at Mare ISL
and and nothing definite can be learned
of the time of her departure or wheth-
er or not she will convoy one or more
of the troop ships which have been
chartered to take the supplies and men
to Admiral Dewey.
1t has been given out at the Preside,
officially, that the first ship load of
men will leave tomorrow or Tuesday,
but this is impossible, unless the men
go almost totally unprepared for the
duties they may be required to perform
in the Philippines They have not
been supplied with sufficient clothing,
arms and ammunition. The troops
need shoes, overcoats, underclothirg,
rifles and ammunition. 1t has been de
termined by the officers to ask for
Krag-Jorgesns rifles, and if these can
not be secured, No. 1874 modern
Springfelds will be asked for.
The City of Peking doubtless will be
the first vessel ordered to the Philip
pines and she is not in condition to
receive the troops: but large force
of men is at work on her and she
will be prepared for the reception of
men on "a hours notice.
Nearly 5000 troops from Minnesota,
Colorado, Utah and Oregon will arrive
here on Wednesday and Friday next
and will go into camp at Preside.

Tha, Senatorial Convention, "a

The Third Senatorial d &SE !, :
Republican convention held here
last Saturday was pretty fair spec
linen of modern Republican pol
itics.
Of the FIVE candidates, Morris,
Mcknight and Maxwell withdrew,
and left Anthony B. Smith, of Ty-
Ter and Harvey w. Harmer, of
Harris to fight it out between
them. The withdrawal of the two
Nltchle county candidates gave
Smith the solid vote of that county.
The officers of the convention
were c. E. Haddox, of Richie,
chairman and P. M. Ireland, of
Doddridge. secretary.
The resolutions adopted en-
dorsed every Republican office
holder from Mckinley down. They
even swallowed the Dingley def
cheney tariff bill and the bond issue.
Golf henchmen were on the
ground in great numbers, and
one of them proposed an amend.
ment to the resolutions instruct
ing the candidate nominated by the
convention to vote for Golf for
United States Senator. This caused
some discussion, but was finally
adopted with the proviso that he
would only be required to do so pro-
vlded Goff's name was before the
legislature.
When nominations were called
tor delegate from Harrison placed
in nomination the name of Harvey
w. Harmer, and F. l.. Blackmarr,
of Tyler, placed the name of An
thony B. Smith before the conven
ton. Several persons seconded
each, and the applause seemed to
be about equally divided.
1t was known 10 be an equal
race and the excitement soon be-
came intense. Finally a delegate
from Tyler threw bomb into the
Harmer camp by charging him
with keeping Prof. Barnes, Dem
ocrat, at the head of the Fairmont
Normal School.
Here was the opportunity for the
Smith men and they grasped it in
a minute. Instantly the chairman,
who was Smith man, ordered a
vote taken Immediately. They
didn't want to give Hammer
to meet the charge.
The counties were called and
vote taken. Doddridge divided her
vote and voted 10 for each can
didate. At this time some delegate
from Richie bawled out that a
Doddridge delegate was trying to
