STARTS SOUTH.
Second West Virginia on its
way to Cuba.

They go first to Greenyiile South Caro-
lima and thence to Cuba-TEe regi-
ment In good shape-Ali things need
ed have been issued to them--They
have been kept away from yellow jack
Garrison duty will constitute their
work for the next two years.
1t is stated by several of the pa
pers that the second West Virginia
has been ordered to start on their
long journey to the south and event
ually to Cuba They have received
the orders preparatory to breaking
camp and they will go in a few days.
They go first to Greenville, North
Carolina, and from that place they
will start for the West Indies.
Gen'l Gramm has had charge OF
this part OF the movement OF the
troops and If this be true that they
are ordered to go he has decided
that it has become cold enough to
prevent any danger of spread OF
yellow jack among the men. This
has been what has kept them in the
north so long. Had they gone in to
tue dangerous territory during the
warm weather hundreds of the men
would have died from fever before
they could have become aeclimated.
The men are glad to get out OF the
camp and begin something that
promises to give them some excite
ment They are not very much in
favor Of going to Cuba which they
regard as pest hole but they will
go rather than stay in camp with
the monotony of the life before
them.
They have received their winter
clothing and all other things that
they will need In the coming months.
They will not meet with very cold
weather and will have lots of pleas
ure out Of their trip.
The relatives and friends of the
men will be sorry to hear that they
are going SO far away as they will
not have the chance to see the sol
der boys again until che period OF
SliiobiuSHt HA9 SApAiSst' h1 2VAE
diers will not have chance to come
back while the troops are in Cuba
but will have to stick to their knit
ting
They will be employed in garrison
duty which is not at all exciting and
which is extremely distastefal to the
men. The probabilities are that
none of them will be discharged UNI
til the full two years of their en-
listment has expired and they will
be kept in the service which to the
majority Of them is onerous and dis
tasteful.
We hope to be able from time to
time to give letters from various
members of the regiment on the ex-
periences which they will meet while
on the trip which will be of great
interest to our readers.

1t will be noticed that the big
changes are made in Warrington and
Fairmont districts. In 1896 Dayton
had As majority in Fairmont district;
the Democrats have gained so. In
Warrington, Dayton's majority in
1896 was 214, and it will be cut down
to Isl. Pawpaw was 1913 Democratic
in 1896, is now estimated at 195.
Chairman n. /. Kendall, Of the Re-

in the following special:

The game was eagerly watched by
Washington & Jefferson and d. A.

vania's famous end, Sam Boyle.
P. A.. C. was strengthened by Van

The Parkersburg Journal has the
following to say of the game at
Clarksburg:
Considerable interest is being
taken in the football game Saturday,
at Clarksburg, between The Marietta
team and the W. V. T. eleven. The
teams are about as evenly matched
as is possible, and the game will be
a battle royal. The score at Mar
ietta, on the fifteenth, was SO close
that the superiority OF the team is
debatable.
Quite number of Parkersburgers
will 90 out to the game, and it seems
probable that number from Mar
ietta will go.
Last Saturday, Marietta took a
badly crippled team to Columbus
and beat the Ohio State University
eleven 10 to 0. Several of the Mar
ietta players are reported to be suf-
fering from sprains, which may cut
some figure in their stand against
w. v. u. Saturday, but this ought
to be more than Offset by the fact
that the Morgantown boys are to
have a hard game only two days be-
fore the Marietta contest. Players
generally recuperate in time to take
part in the games.
The Morgantown men seem conf
dent of winning the game and say
they will make the score considcra-
bly, larger. The Marietta team AYERS

Ned Carmack retains his seat in
Congress as Representative from the
Tenth District, and Josiah Patter-
sons name is mud.
This decision was reached by the
House last Friday, the vote being
1856 to llS in favor of Mr.. Carmack
holding his seat. This was quite an
agreeable surprise to Mr.. Carmack's
friends, and somewhat of "a surprise
to Mr., Carmack himself, as the Re
publican majority of the Committee
on Elections had reported previously
in favor of unseating him, and
Speaker Reed and Mark Hanna
focused all the power within their
grasp on the Republicans to compel
them to support the majority of the
committee.
The Carmack forces were led on
the Democratic side by Representa-
tive Richardson, and on the Re-
publican side by Representative
JOY, who had grudge against
Josiah for voting to unseat him upon
one occasion in a contested election
case.
After discussing the case in the
House Friday, Representative Rich
ardson made the first move by a
motion to substitute the Democratic
minority report, which was in favor
of Carmack, for that of the Republi-
can majority report, which was for
seating Patterson. This motion car
ried by l39 ayes to l2O nays. This
was the signal for wild applause on
! Al, Il 1 <
which lasted for several minutes
and which taxed Speaker Reed to
the utmost to finally silence. Then
followed the vote on the adoption OF
the report Of the committee as
amended, declaring Mr.. Carmack
the legally elected member. This
motion carried by majority Of
eighteen and again the Democrats
broke forth in wild applause.
In speaking of the action in the
House, the Washington correspond
ent to the American saye;
During the course of this discus
sion Mr., Carmack demonstrated to
the members of the House of Rep
resentatives that he is an orator of
first rank and that in public speech,
as well as at the editors desk, he
has wonderful command Of
language. his speech throughout
was a bitter arraignment of Col.
Patterson and his former election
methods, and just before the con-
clusion he broke forth in the most
impassioned bursts Of oratory as he
described his love for his native
State and particularly the Tenth
Congressional District.
The applause which followed the
conclusion of his remarks was deaf
ening. Mr.. Carmack was surround
ed Immediately by his friends and
for several minutes received per-
feet ovation. While this was going
on Col. Patterson sat in the cloak
room on the Republican side. 1t
was apparent that he was fearing
the worst. In this he was right, for
not even Speaker Reed, Senator
Hanna and other prominent RepUb-
licans could control the Republican
members of the House,"

The Aged Secretary of State Withdraws
From the Cabinet.

From the Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-Another
resignation from the Cabinet oc-
cured to-day, when the venerable
Secretary of State, John Sherman,
handed his resignation of the pre-
miership to the President. The
resignation takes effect at as early a
day as may be convenient to the
President. Mr.. Sherman retires
from public life after service of
over forty years, embracing the
House Of Representatives, the
United States Senate, the Secretary
ship of the Treasury and the Secre-
taryship of State. The reason for
the resignation is the condition of
the Secretary's health, which is
now impaired as the result of years
of devotion to the public service and
the arduOus labors OF a lifetime,
added to age, the venerable Secre-
tary being now within few days OF
70 years Of age.

been Assistant Secretary of State, has

Carmack'S Speech.

A Washington special to the

"Carmack's speech was bold and
almost defiant IN its character. He
began by telling the Republicans
that it was matter of no cOnse-
quence to him whether he received
their votes or not; that they might
take away his seat, but they could
not take away the respect of his peo
pie at home. He said tlat the Re-
publican party had never received
any favOrs from him and would new
er get any. He reviewed the record
of his competitor in scathing terms,
made a thorough presentation of the
testimony ami closed with a defense
of bis people that brought storm
of applause from the house and gal
leries.

able and scholarly heard on the
floor Of Congress for long time
