to Blaneo's appeals and representations
that the Spanish minister of marine
ordered cervCra to make the enors to
escape from Santiago harbor, for were
that the cause of his objection to
Blaneo. why should he desire ceryera
also disgraced?
The Spanish count who lie arralgning
these officers IS evidently in dead ear
nest. and 1t is easy TO see that he has
some cause, but he should get down to
first principles and ascertain II the real
responsibility for spaIn's humiliation is,
after all. to be found among The gem
erals. Perhaps he will discover that
the men who deserve the heroic treat
ment he advocates sit In higher circles
than military or naval councils. The
generals and the admirals simply car
ried out the policies of the government
at Madrid. It is this institution the
people of Spain would square accounts
with, II they only dared.

WeIeomr 10 the city's Guestz.

The city of Wheeling cordially well
comes the delegates and other visitors
who have gathered here for the annual
convention of the Ohio Valley Improve
ment Association, in the work Of which
this community and its surrounding
neighbors are so vitality Interested.
While the people of the city, particu-
iarly thuse directly concerned in its
commercial and Industrial interests,
fully realize the significance of the
movement for the desired Improvements
of the Ohio river, which have been so
long delayed. and their important bear
ing upon the future prosperity of the
entire Ohio Valley. the welcome is not
Inspired by a selfishness due to this fact.
Hospitality is a Characteristic OF
wheeling. The trait is always demon
etrated on such occasions as this, on
whatever mission the guests from other
towns and states may come. We may
be pardoned for Boosting that our peo-
pie are noted for the warmth of their
welcome. To-day, tonight and to-
morrow the visitors will be made to
understand that this portion of the Ohio
Valley appreciates the presence OF the
representatives OF the organization Of
commercial interests, who are giving
their time and energies to the promotion
Of the greatest industrial interests and
the advancement OF one OF the richest
regions in this great country. The In
telligencer reflects. therefore, the SEN
timent of the whole community in bid
ding thrice hearty welcome to all the
guests Of this occasion.
Aside from the welcome to be given
to-day, which will be a true Virginia
greeting. and void OF sift tormalities,
win be the work of the convention. in
which every business man, ever manu-
facturer and every waGe-worker has a
direct interest. Judging from what has
already been secured In the way Of con-
gress!onaI action. and from the reason
able hopes held out for the future, the
service rendered by the Ohio Valley I'm
provement Association, during its com
paratively brief existence, with the CO.
operation OF the faithful representa-
lives in Congress from the several
states interested, has been great enough
already to win the gratitude OF the cit
izens of the valley. The valuable aid
the organization has given to the con-
gressmen and senator's who have been
working for the interests of the valley.
which are also the interests Of the entire
country. warrants the expectation Of an
early contamination OF the projects for
continuous navigation in the future.
The work Of the convention to-day
and tomorrow will be OF n strictly bus
mess character. in the direction of the
accomplishment of this great purpose.
but, sandwlched between, will be held
tonight. at the beautiful Wheeling
Park, the social feature from which the

memories Of their stay in Wheeling.

1t is regrettable that the President Is
having trouble persuading the men of
high character he has selected to ae-
cept the duty Of conducting the inves-
tlgation he desires. and that he may be
forced to leave the matter for Congress
to deal with. While some contend the
latter method is the only One'to be pur-
sued under the law, the Presidents idea
would be the more practical and would
doubtless satisfy the public better and
more promptly. The country will at
least give the President credit for sim
certify and desire to get at fair and
impartial INQUIRY.

Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1898-10-23

One of the busiest places in the rail-
road line in this vicinity is the Ben
wood Junction transfer. The Register
man was shown all through this place
the other day, and many interesting
things were learned. Mr.. C. H. Strahl,
a railroad man who has had many
years experience, has charge of the
station, and he knows how to run it..
A force of twelve laborers and two
clerks outside of the agent take charge
of everything, and they have their
hands full all the time. Nothing but
local merchandise cars are handled, but
over 100 of them are loaded every day.
One hard thing the force have to con-
tend with is goods loaded improperly.
Half Of the stations along the line do
not load cars as they should be in
station order, and as result the goods
have to be handled twice. The transfer
people at this point handle the cars
different in this respect and make it
easy for the employees who get the cars
after they leave this station. At all
points where connecting line touches
there is more or less transferring, and
it is very hard where there is a small
force. At one time in the history OF
the B. & o. goods were rated through
from Chicago and other points to the
Ohio River road and nothing allowed
for transferring. At that time this
work was done at Moundsville, and a
well known teamster hauled many a
wagon load to the Ohio River depot
without receiving a cent for his SER
vices. This is all changed now, and
cars are allowed to 60 all the way
through, but there is much transfer
work in less than car load lots.
