At ENTIRE VARIANCE
Peace Commissioners Can't

REFERRED DIFFERENCES
BY Compulsion to Their Re-

REFERRED DIFFERENCES

London, Oct. 1.-THE Exchange
Telegraph company received an
important message from Paris this
morning.
1t says that the Spanish and
American Peace commissioners are
at complete and entire variance con-
corning the disposition of the Phil
ippine islands, and they have re-
ferred the matter to their respect
i've governments.
1t has been supposed all along
that the commissioners were v ork-
ing along as tremendously as could
be expected and this news comes in
the nature of a surprise.
1t is too early to form any opin-
ion OF the outcome of the differ.
ence of opinion. But 1t seems al
most certain that the Americans
will not yield an inch.

Festivities Wen Under WAY.

The first day of the Pythian eel,
ebration passed in anything but a
propltious manner, and the intense
enthusiasm and expectation of our
people gave way to gloom in the
lace OF the heavy rainfall. 1,
seemed as if the flood gates of the
sky had been opened. expressly for
the purpose of quenching our fes-
tivities. The decorations were, in
many instances, left in a sorry con
dition by the storm, and in every
case much of the brightness and
freshness had been destroyed. This
is to be regretted, as much
labor and skill has been
exercised in the desire to
create a favorable Impression of
our city's in the minds of all visit
ors. But the elements have in a
measure made void the efforts to
this end.
This morning, however, nature
appeared at her best and taking the
spirit of her caprices enthusiasm
again is in the ascendancy. Every
train into the city is unloading it's
human freight and we will doubt
less entertain the largest concourse
of people in the history of Sisters
vile. Every one is happy and hav-
ing an enjoyable time; disturbances
are conspicuous by their absence
and general good fellowship is pre-
vailing.

TWO SKELETON Ms

The Result of DIR. HaIe's Research In
the Mounds in the Washington
Woods
DR., Hale, last week, opened six
of the mounds in the Washington
Woods down the river, but nearly
all the skeletons were so badly de-
composed that he was unable to
save any except two. They were
in fairly good condition. They
were apparently buried lying down,
both in the same mound. They
were rather small of stature, and
the skull indicated a very inferior
degree of intelligence. He also
found several arrow heads of very
fiue agate flint which probably
came from the Rocky Mountains.
There were also some tomahawks,
but no other ornaments. In all the
mounds he found evidences of fire
and rock which had been in the
fire. The Washington Bottoms
seem to have been a great centre
for the aborigineS as innumerable
skeletons and interesting relics
have been found there.-Ravens-

Traced by Foreign Coin.

Constable w. II. Carter, of
Parkersburg, arrived In the city
last evening and this morning re-
turned to Parkersbnrg with Harry
Dotson, the young man who is
wanted in the latter city for house
breaking.
Dotson is house painter, and
while working at his trade in Park
ersburg came into possession of a
key to private residence there.
Subsequently he gained entrance to
the house and looted it of consid-
cradle property, which included
several rare French and German
coins, preserved as relics. These
old coins are the nucleus around
which conviction will hang, for
three OF them were recovered yes
terday by Chief of Police Ewing in
the jewelry store of A. G. Thomas,
who had paid Dotson IS cents for
them.
Human depravity is we'll ex-
empli6ed in this case. While Dot
son has a wife and children he
keeps up liason with another wo-
man and during his incarceration
here this person has been constant
ly near him.

Amusement Lovers Disappointed.

Through an unfortunate over
sight, the Schubert Glee Club of
Chicago, which was to open the
Olston Opera House last evening,
was unable to give their entertain
ment, to the great disappointment
of many of our people who had
looked forward with pleasure to the
appearance of this famous musical
combination.
The baggage and musical prop
critics of the club were carried by
this station, and, of course, without
their equipment the Schuberis
could not appear to any advantage.
Consequently it was decided to re-
fund the money from the advance
sale Of seats and cancel the date.
The management regrets the in
auspicious opening of the amuse
ment season in his house, but as
sures his patrons that no blame
attaches either TO the club or him
self.

STOLEN GOODS
Sold 10 n CIOthing and Shoe Dealer at
Beliaire, Recovered by the Police.

Bellaire, Recovered by the Police.
James Mehen, the Ohio River
railroad detective, was at Bellaire
yesterday on business appertaining
to the robbery committed at the
Ohio River station at Proctor, about
six weeks ago. While there the
detective had turned over to him
two pairs of ladies shoes and a pair
of mems shoes by Marshal johnson
of that city. Marshal Johnston
having been informed that the sto-
len shoes had been sold at shop at
Bellaire, found the articles after
searching about for awhile, at
j. L. Mendelson's secondhand
clothing and shoe store No.
No. 3292 Union street, and COM
municated with Detective Mehen,
who secured the articles yesterday.
Mr.. Mendelson, the proprietor of
the Bellaire establishment, stated
that he purchased the three pairs
of shoes from two boys three weeks
ago last Friday, paying them the
price asked, which was fifty cents a
pair. The shoes, Mr.. Mendelson
said, might have been sold at re-
tail for a dollar a pair. Each boy
carried large basket full of shoes
and told him they were running a
country store, and finding that the
demand for this kind of goods was
very poor in their locality, that they
had decided to go about peddling
them, with the intention Of selling
them out cheap. They offered him
the entire lot at reduced prices, but
Mr.. Mendelson had peed but for
three pairs.

West Virginia is in need of
careful and intelligent revision of
her assessment laws. The aim of
the present laws in this State Is to
assess all property and to make the
assessment on an equitable basis, so
that the burdens of government
shall rest equally on all alike-but
the aim is not accomplished. A
just and comprehensive assess
ment law would produce larger
revenue OH greatly greatly re-
duced levy.

OF WELCOME
Delivered by Rev. Bowden Be.
fore the Meeting Today.
G. c. c. PRAGER'S REPLY.
One OF the Largest Encamp-
mentS Ever Held.

For awhile yesterday afternoon
1t looked very much as though the
elements were going to make it de-
cidedly bad for the meeting of the
twenty-ninth annual meeting of the
Grand Lodge of the Knights Of
Pythias OF West Virginia, which
has been in session commencing
today, but finally toward evening
the sky cleared and the morning
dawned as bright and pleasant as a
morning i'll May. The rain which
fell tor the most part OF yesterday
afternoon had very bad effect up
on some of the fine decorations with
which the city had been fixed I'D,
but even at that they do not look
very bad today and those who
came in this morning and afternoon
to attend the encampment have
been unstinted in their praise of the
beautiful appearance of the city.
There was quite number of the
members of the order who came in
yesterday morning and afternoon
and they were taken care of by the
reception committee in good shape.
They were met at the station by
the committee accompanied by the
Heatherington band of Bellaire and
were conducted to the headquarters
where they were assigned to their
different lodgings. Among the
prominent members of the order
who came in yesterday were

Grand Inner Guard; Sir Knight
Wolthes, of Martinsburg, Grand
Master at Arms. This morning
and afternoon the rest Of the grand
lodge officers arrived, and have
been quartered at grand lodge head
quarters at the Hotel Wells. One
or two of the grand lodge officers
were unable to be present, for some
reason.
The only thing done yesterday
afternoon and evening was the re-
ception of the visitors and the ex-
qualification of the Knight rank in
amplifed form by the team of
Hope Lodge No. 3 of Parkersburg,
which took place in the auditorium
OF the High school building on
Main street. There were number

River Notes.

The water this morning is sta
tionary, after rise of nearly eigh-
teen inches. Whether the rain
fall of yesterday was sufficiently
general to affect the head waters.
can only be conjectured.
While the recent rain only made
difference of about eighteen
inches here, the Great Kanawha
registered rise between eight and
nine feet.
The steamer Ruth will make the
first trip since the tie up at six
O'Clock tomorrow morning. This
popular boat has been thoroughly
overhauled and put in prime con-
dition. The Sip Bayes, which has
been running in place OF the Ruth
IS now undergoing repairs and will
return soon to Cattlettsburg.

Ready for War.

New YORK, Nov. ga cable to the
Sun from Paris says: The Fashoda
crisis has ended as all clear7sighted
observers foresaw. There never was
any serious danger that it would
plunge France and England into
war. There is reason to fear, how
ever, as has been limited for several
weeks past, that graver situation
has been masked behind the Nile
quarrel. Europe has been suspect
ing for some time that England was
arming for another purpose. The
fact that the complete backdown of
France on the Nile, which has been
discounted for several days, has not
checked British mobilization, is
causing genuine alarm, especially in
st. Petersburg

Jolly Comedians.

The audience which occupied
every seat in the Opera House last
evening realized with great pleasure
that the Mckee Rankin company lie
composed of actors and actresses,
who rank high in the comedy as
we'll as in the drama.
"The Magistrate" was hailed with
enthusiasm by the whole audience,
and all admitted that the work Of
the company was excellent.
The play selected contains many
comical situations and is full OF fun
from beginning to end l.. r. Stock
we'll was very amusing as the
"spree-going" judge and caused the
audience to roar whenever he appear
ed on the stage. The many friends
of Herbert Carr we're surprised
to see him display such talent as
comedian and could hardly believe
that the British colonel in "pilikia"
was the favorite hero and dramatic
lover OF the Honolulu public.
Leslie Morosco deserves great
credit for the manner in which he
presented the young scamp Of a
somewhat uncertain age. His fine
stage appearance made him a gen.
eral favorite, at least with the fe-
male part of the audience. Nance
O'Neil did very we'll, of course, as
the judges wife, but we prefer to
see the talented actress in something
better adapted to the high standard
of her art.
The other characters of the farce
were we'll represented and gave
great satisfaction to the audience.
Thursday night Leah the Jewess,
most interesting drama, will be
presented.

The Planter Arrives.

The Planter arrived this morning
from Laysan Island, with the flag
flying at half-mast. On board Of
her were the remains of the master
OF the vessel, Captain F. A. Dow,
who died on the End of November,
two days after his leaving Lsysan
Island Captain Dow was we'll
known in Honolulu, where he had
numerous friends. He had been in
command OF the Planter about eight
years, and from here he was to take
the vessel TO San Francisco. "This
is my last trip to Laysan Island"
said the Captain, when he last left
Honolulu. His words were pro-
phetic. Many vessels in port half
masted their flags out of respect to
his memory.
Captain Dow was an American,
and was about forty years of age.
He leaves a widow and two children
in New England, to mourn their sad
loss. The deceased was not we'll
during his last visit to Honolulu,
but his friends did not consider his
aiment very serious.
The Planter encountered very
rough weather on the trip and
brought only AZ tons of guano for
H, Hackfeld g. Co. Several Japa-
nese laborers returned in her.
