MctRAw MEN CHARGE TREACHERY
Bitter Feeling Aroused in Second
West Virginia District.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
GRAFTON. W. Va, November 11.-Dem-
ocratic politicians here are blaming former
United States Senator Henry G. Davis
and his brother, Thomas B. Davis, for be-
ing in large measure responsible for the
defeat of Mr.. John Z. McGraw in his con-
test for the House of Representatives in
the second district of this state. The re-
turns show that there was a great falling
off in the democratic vote in the counties
along the line of the West Virginia Cen
trail railroad and big increase in the re-
publican vote as compared with two years
ago.
Mr.. McGraw makes a statement in which
he says:
The splendid returns from the counties
west of the mountains were destroyed by
the heavily increased majorities given Day
ton along the line of the Davis tmeaning
the West Virginia CentraD railroad"
Mr. Dayton gained heavily in Mineral
county, which elected Thomas b. Davis to
the legislature, and the charge is that IN
all sections where the Davis-Elkins indus
Senator Davis on congressional matters he
would promptly direct them to Senator FL
kins for advice. A bitter feeling has been
aroused.
1t Is stated that four shAmerican
friends of McGraw, who belong to Tam
many Hall, each contributed 5000 to his
campaign. McGraw Is credited with say
ing that he would beat Dayton or live in
a rented house.
Mr.. Dayton in one day walked twenty
five miles and made nine speeches.

ESACIATING CUBA.
Gen. Wade TcIegrnphs That Things
Are Progressing Satisfactorily.

A cable dispatch has been received at the
War Department from Gen. Wade, chair
man of the Cuban military commission,
saying that everything is progressing very
satisfactorily in Cuba, and that the Span
iards are moving troops out as fast as ;hey
can secure transports. Already 10000 have
gone and 5000 more will embark from
Porto Principe today and tomorrow. The
department is quite satisfied with the re-
port, ard the opinion is expressed that the
Spanish troops are eVacuating Cuba as eX-
pedltlouS!y as possible within the means OF
the Spanish government.
General Nade's statement is as follows:
Havana, November 10, 1s9s.
'General Corbin, for Information of the
President:
From our arrival Spanish authorities
here have, l believe, carried out terms of
evacuation to the best of their ability
Ships arriving have been promptly and
fully loaded and dispatched, about 10000
men having gone. Lack of transportation
and money to pay troops is giving serious
trouble. Governor general seems able to
deal with conditions as they arise. Ac-
counts from here are so sensational | de-
sire to inform you of true state of affairs

they are attended by a display of Spanish
enthuslasm-that these visits to Spanish

ACQUISITION OF WEI-HAI-WEI.
Secretary White Sends n Copy of the
AnSfo-G hinese Treaty.

AnGio-Chincse Treaty.
Mr. White, secretary of the United States
embassy in London, has sent the State De-
partment copy of the treaty by which
England acquired the important naval sta
ton of Wei-Hai-Wei, last summer thus
offsetting, in large measure the Russian
acquisition of Port Arthur, directly oppo-
site the British station. 1t was at Wei
Hai-Wei that the Chinese navy made Its
last desperate stand against the japanese,
when their battle ships were sunk by jap
anese torpedo boats. Strategically the place
is scarcely second to Port Arthur conn
manding as it does Chefoo and other i'm
portant ports of north China and DESTROY
ing iii large measure the naval import
ance of kaio Chau, which was ACQUIRED nv
Germany recently.
Mr.. Whites communication sets ont the
details of the British :e.ure of this cn1-
cesaion The first paragraph of the treaty
sets out that in order - provide Great
Britain with a suitable naval haroo. in
North China, and for the b-uter Jrlta"tfon
of British commerce in the neighba-ing
seas,Chi agrees to lease to the queen, Wei
Hal-Wei, in the province o: Shautuns and
the adjacent waters. There is counied with
this the significant condition that the lease
Arthur shall remain IN The ,ie,elIpaIiou of
Russia
The leased terri,cry comprises tn Island
of Liu Kung, all the islands in the hay
and belt of land ten English mics wide
along the entire coast line of the Ray of
Wei-Hei-Wei Great Britain is given ex-
elusive jurisdiction over this territory. with
the right to erect fortificaticns AMI station
troops at any point on or near the coast
east of 121-40 degrees east longitude Witt
in that zone. while Chinese administration
may continue, no troops other than Chinese
or British shall be allowed to enter.

Long in Washington some days ago to

ship material at fair profits. So satisfac-
tory was the interview that the party visit
ed Newport News with Mr.. Huntington
went over the ground and returned with
him TO New York to arrange the details
of what, it is stated. will be one of the
largest industrial deals in this country.
The foreign capitalists will, it is under

CONFIDENCE IN THE PRESIDENT
Conspicuous Feature of the EIer-
tiOns.


Assistant Secretary RYAN of the Interior
Department returned this morning from
Kansas, where he went some days ago to
participate in the campaign. Secretary
Ryan looks much improved after his out
ing, and was enthusiastic over thu success
Of the republican party in Kansas and else
where. To reporter of The Star, who saw
him this morning, Judge Ryan said:
Did you ever see such a grand victory >
1t is exceptional for an off year and teaches
us many lessons, the most prominent of
which is the absolute confidence the oeople
have in the President. While | knew of
the great popularity of the executive, 1
never fully appreciated it. In the west
Wherever l visited / heard nothing but
praise for the President and satisfarti IN
with his administration For over thirty
years | have been in politics. and l assure
you have never seen such a thorough r.
spect for President. He is in the hearts
of the people.
Kansas just swept the platter. The re-
puthcans piled up handsome majorities and
gave The pop1lists prod they will never
forget Three things contributed to the
success of the party in the state. Firsr
the prosperity of the farmers had a whole
some influence. They seemed more con-
tented than for years Then. the popularity
OF lhe President and the confidence in MS
administration help materially, and last
the splendid organization Of the party in
the state proved a strong factor. This was
due more to the fine executive ability of
Morton Albaugn. chairman of tn. repub-
hcan state committee. Although 4 young
man, he demonstrated exceptional ability
as an organize. and put the party on a bet
ter basis than ii had ever becG before.
Yes, the west is for expansion" coltIn-
ued the assistant secretary, with emphasis
The people believe in insisting upon the
nag flying wherever she has been unfurl=d
and maintaining it."
Did you hear much free silver talk in
the west?'
Very little" rejoined Judge Ryan. 1T
is my opinion as well as those with whom
/ talked in the West that the silver issue
has been 'Scot"hed.' 1t will hardly be res
urrected by the democrats and never. in
my opinion, form cardinal plank in ihe
platform of any political party. 1t is a

EXTRA SESSION EXPECTED
Many Questions Crowding for Settlement
by Congress
The Treaty Of Peace May BE One of
the Matters Snb-
mitted.

1t Is felt that one effect of the republi-
can victory in the congressional elections
will be to save the country from a sensa-
tonal and partisan congressional investi-
cation into the methods of the war AS a
matter of fact, both houses of Congress
will be republican during this last session
Of the Fiftyfifth Congress- as well as
during the Fifty-sixth Congress. The re-
publfcans, though they had the committee
organization of the Senate al the first ses-
sion of Congress, were not in a majority
having merely a plurality; but by the cleo
ton of senator in Oregon they are placed
barely in a majority in this last session,
and will count on the support of Mantle
and Kyle in most matters. This leaves the
Senate, however too close to be counted
on for reliable support of the administra-
tion until after the beginning of the Fifty
sixth Congress, but leaves the democrats
helpless to put into effect any design they
may have to make any political capital
out of the war inXestiga .ion and antago-
nism to the administration during the clos
Ing months of this Congress.
An Extra Session.
The situation is such that 1t is not re-
garded as possible for all the questiors that
are crowding for settlement to be disposed
of during this short session of Congress-
and it is almost a certainty that the Fifty
sixth Congress will be called into extra ses-
sion next spring. The republicans will
then have a large enough majority in the
Senate to insure the carrying out of the
policy Of the administration in spite of the
possibility of two or three republican SEN
atorS not being in sympathy with it, and
the republican majority in the House is
strong enough to enable the enactment of
legislation desired. If treaty Of pea .e
iS tSaI tf.f 4 be Il,
ing its coming session, it will be with con-
of its ratification, but it Is by no means
certain that the treaty will be prepared in
time for action by the present Senate
The belief is that the ratification of the
treaty and practically all the, legislation
acquisition of territory by the United
States will go over to the extra session Of
the F.fty-sxth Congress, NEST of the time
of the coming session. CT this Congress b.
ing taken up with the appropriations and
routine matters.
On account of the instability CT the re-
publican control of the Ser ate in this s. s.
sion, it is doubtful whether even the legis-
latfon affecting the permanent ;acrease of
the army will be accomplished, If, indeed, it
is attempted.
The administration does not. anprehend
difficulty in the next House of Representa-
tives on account of the reduced majority
since the issues in the campa ignjust closed
were sharply defined, and there is no op-
portunity for the existence. of an anti
faction in the republican
party in the House.
