CUBAN BOND RUMoR.
IL IL Said France VIII Hold Uncle Sam
Responsible.

Paris, Dec. SIT is rumored to-
night that the government here Is
about to take up the case OF
the French holders OF the Cuban
b )nds in the Inevitable event Of
the reputation of these securities
by Spain, and that an attempt will
be made by France to hold the
United States financially responsible
for the same. This rumor, however,
finds but little credence in diplo-
matte circles.
France has quite enough trou BILE
ON her hands at the present moment
without wishing in any way to pick
a quarrel with the United States on
the subject Of liability for the Cuban
bonds.
The French Government Knows
full we'll that. having no possible
means Of coercing the United States
il the matter, any pretensions which
it might put forward il this respect
would be summarily rejected, and
would result in inevitable failure and
defeat.
With the Fashoda backdown
already to it's credit, the French
government can not afford to invite
yet another humiliation of the SALE e
character.

At champagne supper some cap
tains of the navies Of England, Rus.
STA, Turkey, France and< America, a
toast by each one in honor of the flag
they defended was called for and the
following are the toasts given:
The Russian said: sHere is to the

torn down.
The Turk said: s'Here is to the
moon Of Turkey, whose wings have
never been clipped.
The Frenchman said: Here is to
the cock of France, whose feathers
were never pulled
The American said: Here is to
the stars and stripes of America, which
have never known defeat
The Englishman concluded as fol-
lows: Here is to the rampant, roar
lug lion of Great Britain, that has
torn down the stars and bars of Rus

moons Of Turkey; who pulled the
feathers from the cock OF France and
ran like hell from the stars and stripes

cal candidate in the coming cleo
tion
1T extends greetings to the soldiers
and sailors and rejoices in the appar-
ent near approach of peace.
The resolution touching the ques-
tion of Imperialism was as follows:
"And in view of the probable stip-
ulations and terms of peace about to
be made with Spain, we declare it to
be the sense OF the convention that
such terms of peace ought to be nego-
ciated as will open the gates of trade
to the expanding commerce of the
United States in every quarter of the
world. And we also favor the pernla-
nent acquisition of scuh Spanish ter
ritory in the western hemisphere as
may be consistent with the policy OF
government laid down by Washington
Jefferson and Monroe, and known as
the Monroe doctrine, but we are I'M
alterably opposed to the establishment
of any imperial policy In the govern
ment OF this republic which would
tend to involve us in wars with for
eign nations, and which would ne
cessitate large standing army in
times Of peace. >

ting for the Pacific railway funding

THE DECISION
OF Commissioner Scott Was Just rs
Expected.


Express and railroad companies have
won a great victory in the war revenue
law. According to the ruling
of Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Norman B. Scott, they are supposed
to furnish the shippee with a bill of
lading or receipt properly stamped.
Further requirements, however, win
for them the victory. They are not
forced to accept the package at the
present rates they are charging. No
internal revenue or war tax law can
force them to adjust their express
rates. If the companies so desire
they can accept the package on condi-
ton that the owner or shipper shall
pay the sum necessary. for the pur-
chase of the stamp or stamps in addi-
tion to the customary charges for trans
portation. Following is copy of the
ruling:
''It is the duty of the carrier to
furnish the shipper with stamped bill
OF lading or receipt. If he fails to do
this he incurs criminal liability, but
if he refuses co accept the goods for
transportation, except on conditions
that the owner or shipper pay the sum
necessary to purchase the stamp or
stamps, in addition to the customary
charges for transportation the war rev.
enue law provides no remedy, nor
does any internal revenue law

What the Register says of McGraw.


In commenting upon the nomina-
ton of Hon. Jno. T. McGraw by the
Democrats of the Second Congress
sional district the Wheeling Regis
ter says:
1t did not take the Second dis
trict Democratic Congressional con
vention long to complete its work.
Hon. Jno. L. McGraw had signifed
his willingness to accept the nomi-
nation, and the convention named
him as its standard bearer by ac-
clamation.
This action is a forerunner OF
Democratic victory in the Second
district, for there is no stronger or
more popular man in the State than
John T. McGraw.
Ever since his graduation from the
law department of Yale University
Mr. McGraw has been prominent in
the legal profession and in politics
and business in this State Enter
prising and public-spirited in a high
degree, he long ago made his mark
in the affairs of West Virginia, and
now stands as one of her leading
and representative citizens and pub
lie. men. Identified with her devel-
opment and leader in her bushes S
and industrial life the interests of
the State and her people are the in
terests Of Mr.. McGraw, and the peo-
pie of the Second district may cast
their ballots for him at the coming
election with full confidence that if
elected he will represent their inter
ests in Congress with thorough
knowledge and with the sterling
ability and vigorous determination
we all know him to possess in a high
degree.
Mr.. McGraw is a young man-an-
other point in his favor in these days
when young blood is needed at the
front-and thoroughly wide-awake
and up todate, although a conserya-
tive Democrat of thegood old school.
AS campaigner he is interchangeable
and eloquent, and as a manager
shrewd and long headed Intimate
ly acquainted all over the State, he
is especially popular in his own dis
trict, where he is best known.
1t is time the important interests
of the Second district were repre-
sented in Congress by an able, wide
awake and representative Democrat,
and "a better or more capable one
could not be found throughout it's
length and breadth than John L.
McGraw, whose election the Regis
ter confidently predicts.
