MADRID, Sept. 7.-The chamber has
followed the senate in discussing the
late war behind closed doors. This ac-
tion has caused the greatest sensation.
Immediately after the meeting sena-
tor Salmeron. the Republican leader,
moved that an investigation be made
into the responsibility OF Senior Sagns-
ta's government in connection with the
declaration OF war, the negotiations for
peace md the violation OF the constitu-
ton by the suspension Of the guaran-
tees
The premier, Senior sagasta, quickly
asked that the deliberations be conduct-
ed behind closed doors and the president
pronounced favorably on the request.
Thereupon the Republicans and Conser-
vatives vehemently protested and amid
an indescribIble confusion the door
keepers cleared the galleries OF specta-
tors, the deputies In the meantime
shouting uprnarlously.
The senate session also was stormy
one. Generals Weyler, Dominguez. AZ
carraga, Palejo and Rivera attended.
General Weyier reminded the senate
OF how Count d'Almenas had greeted
the returning soldiers ignoring the Off
GERS. He declared that this was q re-
Election upon the officers efficiency.
General Weyler strongly condemned
the secret sessions OF the corteS and
concluded HE speech AZ follows:
II desire to speak to all Spain and not
merely TO the government"
Count d'AimenaB, replying to General
weyler's structure, said: II addressed
my greetings to those who have been
martyrs for their country--to the Span
lsh soldiers because they deserved such
greetings. did not address the gen.
erals for they showed themselves In
capable OF leading soldiers to battle, or
of showing them how to fall worthily
on the field"
Marshal Primo de Rivera shouted:
''That is not true" and General Weyler
and others Joined in the protest.
Count d'Almenas, addressing General
Rivera, replied: II am not afraid Of
such cries or OF epauIets or OF the deo-
oratlons that will have to be torn OF
the breasts OF several ofIlcerS The
sashes Of some generals should be torn
on and put around their necks."

The eighteenth annual West virginia
state fair and exposition is surely be-
Ing handicapped in a manner that y
rather dlscouraging to the promoters
of the great enterprise. ''FarmerS
Day" is usually the occasion Of the sec
ond largest attendance of the entire
week. The heavy rain yesterday morn
ing made the track a sea of mud, 90 II
was Impossible to run the races, and It IL
not surprising that the attendance was
dIsappolnungly small. Ths out-ot-
town attendance was small on account
Of the weather, and the city people did
not turn out strong for the same rea-
son.
To-day the weather viii no doubt b
good, the weather bureau having swung
a prediction to the breeze yesterday af-
ternuon to the effect that Thursday ana
Friday will be cool, and the weather
clear This prediction is borne out by
the falling barometer and can be relied
upon by the people of Wheeling and The
surrounding country.
To-day Is "city Day" always the oo-
casion OF the largest crowd of the week.
and as the out-ot-town people who
were held back yesterday will come TO
the fair in force to-day, there ought to
be a record breaking crowd on the
grounds. If the city people come out
and make a strong effort to avert q
financial loss for the association, the
attendance should go above the 2ooOo
mark.
Notwithstanding the races were post
poned, the crowd in the latter part Of
the afternoon yesterday, was fair con-
sIderlng the weather. Tho principal
feature, In the absence of racing. was
the concert In the grand sand by the
opera House band. which dlScoursed itS

people we're attracted to the stand By
the music.
