that such action can be secured from
the Committee and in way to insure
harmonious action on the report in the
Senate, then there probably will
BE NO OCCASION
for the discussion of the form Of the
resolution before taking up the reso-
luton at issue Senators, as a rule,
show very slight inclination for other
subjects, and the chances are that if
the Senate does not adjourn soon after
receiving the message, the Cuban ques-
ton will come up in some shape to-
morrow. Yet it is barely possible that
the whole matter will be deferred I'M
til the Foreign Committee can make its
report.
A resolution scarcely can get
through the Senate without arousing
some discussion, as there are Senator's
who are opposed to any action at all,
whether for intervention or independ-
ence. Senator White of California, is
one of these, and he probably will dis
cuss any resolution reported. There
are several Senators who now say that
they will insist upon the recognition
of independence in any action taken,
and that they will be heard from in
opposition to any measure that does
not provide for this. If opportunity
appears the sundry civil appropriation
bill will be finally disposed of and
it is possible that the naval appro-
priation bill will be reported from
committee and taken up later in the
week

Large Bodies of Guards on Duty.
General Woodford and His Daughter
Out for a Walk.--The Government
Suspicious of It's Citizens.

Madrid, April 10.-6:55 p. m.-The
day passed quietly and without special
incident. Enormous crowds going to
and coming from the bull fight passed
within easy reach of General Wood
ford's house. Large reinforcements of
police and civil guards were posted
near, and also in front of the Bank of
Spain and other public buildings. J3st
as the crowd was returning, General
Woodford and Miss Woodford, who
had been spending the afternoon in the
park, walked to their residence.

evening approve the resolution of the

VERY BADLY SCORCHED,
A Serious Fire at Warrington, Yes
terday.
1t Broke Out at len O'Clock in the
Commercial Hotel, and Rapidly
Spread in All Directions Wheel-
ing Asked for Aid-The Losses
and Insurance.

Special TO the Register
Warrington, w. Va, April 10.-The
most serious fire in the history Of the
town originated in the Commercial
Hotel, owned and run by John Hayes,
on Water street, about 10 o'clock this
morning, and ragged fiercely for over
an hour, causing a loss of $4,000.
The fire company attempted to con-
fine it in the building where it started,
but the building was a three story
frame, and as the surrounding build
ings were all frame, it soon spread and
burned the residence of J. F. Gump,
On one side, and ON the other it
burned the business house of w. P.
Burt, occupied by the Warrington
Produce Company; L. W. Martins
building, occupied by Snodgrass' sa-
loon; Mrs. Lancasters' building, occu-
pied by A. A. Hayes, meat market; and
Mrs. Jennie Hess building, occupied
by E. c. Martins Bon Ton store.
From there it crossed the street and
badly wrecked J. T. Koen's business
house, occupied by Kellar & Joliffe'S
dry goods and notions store, and Mrs.
Millers confectionery. 1t also crossed
Water street and burned Dr.. ". G. Q.
Wilson's residence and Office and bad
ly scorched the Bank of Warrington
new brick building and the Carskad-
don boarding house 1t also crossed
the creek and badly scorched l.. e.
Forbes new building. The principal
losses are: Commercial Hotel, $4,000,
no insurance; j. F. Gump, dwelling,
$4,000, no insurance; w. P. Burt, 81
600, partly insured L. W. Martin, ST.
200. no insurance; Mrs Lancaster, ST.
200, no insurance; Mrs. Hess, $4,000, no
insurance; ]. T. Koen, $4,000, partly
insured; DR.. Wilson, $4,000, $1,000 in
surance; Carskadon, $500, fully IN
sured: Howard MILAN, $500; l.. c. Fur
bee $500, insured; Warrington Pro-
duce company, $780, insured; Trainor
Snodgrass, $500; A. A. Hayes, $500;
E. c. Martin, $500; Mrs Miller, S400,
fully insured; Kellar & Joliffe, $4,000,
ST 500 insurance; Bank of Warrington,
$500, fully insured; J. Q. Huey, post
office fixtures, 500.
1t looked at one time as though
great deal more OF the town would go,
and Wheeling was telegraphed for as
sistance, but by heroic work the fire
was gotten under control before the
Wheeling engine got started, and they
were advised not to come.

+. ELKINS
Is Alleged to Have Entered Into
Deal to Throw Dayton Overheard
in Favor of Thomas E. Davis, of
Grafton Interesting State of
Things.

Special to te Register
WASHINGTON, April 10-There are
curious stories afoat among West Vir
ginians in Washington to the effect that
Senator Elkins has become convinced
that Representative Dayton can not be
reelected in the Second district if he gets
the nomination, and has made up his
eind that for his own sake 1t viii be nee
essary to throw Dayton overheard and
put another name on the ticket this fall
instead of that of the present Represent
ative. 1t is said that the decision to sac
rifice Dayton was reached at the begin
ming of last week. when Governor Akin
SON, Secretary of State Dawson, and other
leading Republicans of the State were
here to urge the passage OF Dayton 5 bill
for tine creations Of another judicial dis
trict After long conferences with the
Senator regarding the bad outlook for
Republican success in the Second district
this fall ii was decided that Dawson
should go TO the district and try to make
arrangements with ex-State Senaor Thos.
Z. Davis, of Grafton, to become candi-
date for the Republican Congressional
Elkins is Believed to have had more rea-
son to desire that Davis should take the
nomination. In the first place, Davis is
thought to be the strongest man in the
GiStrict-the only man who would have
a ghost of a show to- carry the district
this fall. Secondly, it is said that Sena-
tor EllSins is aware that Davis feels very
bitterly toward him because the internal
revenue collectorshfp went to another
man, ard is nursing his wrath with a
view TO getting even with E,lkins when
the latter comes up for reelection to the
Senate in 1861 50 the Senator planned
to turn Davis for Congress instead of
Dayton. ard at the same time strengthen
the general party lines by avoiding de-
feat in the Second district this fail But
when Secretary of State Dawson went to
Davis with the proposition, he met with
a most frigid reception The Grafton
man wouldlyt listen to him, and is said
TO have minated that he wouldn't take
the Congressional nomination this year
under any consideration. because he was
convinced that no Republican had the
ghost of a SHOW to win.
So far as heard from no further at
tempt has been made by Senator Elkins
10 finl man 70 take the nomination in
Will not hear to either Sturgiss or Grant
Pitzer getting tile nomination. for neither
of those men is the kind that can be cons
troled by him, which seems to Be u pre-
requisite in any prospective candidate.

UNINJU RED.
The Great Orchards Of Hampshire
County Have Escaped Harm from
the Cold Weather of This Month.

Special to the Register.
Romney, w. Va, April 10.-The un-
usually cold weather in the early days
of this month has been less hurtful in
its effects than might have been ex-
pected. The magnificent orchards Of
the Allegheny Orchard Company may
be said to be uninjured as yet The
company has some fifteen thousand
trees in bearing in this and the neigh
boring county of Morgan, and from
present indications will have a fine
crop, even better than last year.
This enterprise was undertaken by
Mr.. |. H. c. Pancake and Mr.. Miller. of
Berkeley, some four or five years ago.
and. the success was to fiattering
thatsa company was organized about a
year ago to push the undertaking to
something like the limits of possibili-
ties in this section of country
The president, Mr. Pancake. told
your correspondent, in an interview
yesterday, that the results of the last
year have abundantly demonstrated
that the Hampshire orchards especi-
ally, are clearly within the peach belt
that the soil en- our mountain sides
which has been exhausted by cropping
is still rich in the elements needed for
the growth Of fruit, and that the thrift
and beauty Of the trees and the perfec-
ton Of the fruit make this region sec
ond to none in fruit producing quail
ties.
Some idea of the company's magni-
tude of operations may be had from the
fact that it has carried a payroll Of
more than fifty persons right through
the winter, and that it will give en-
ployment to much larger number of
hands through the spring and winter
seasons. Ii is a significant sign Of the
faith of cur private farmers in the re-
suits of this important experiment
that many of them are planting orch
ards with a view to the commercial
production of fruit. AS the enterprise
grows, it is hoped that facilities fer
transportation will come along in pro-
portion.
