The Senate for Ten Years.

Chairman Babcock, of the Republic
can Congressional committee, declares
that the Republicans will control the
Senate of the Nation for ten years tc
come, and he is probably correct.
That they will do so for the next six
years is suspectible of strong proof.
That they will have in the next Sen.
ate SO or 81 members who can be re-
lied upon to sustain Protection and
Sound Money and the Republican Nat
ional platform and President, not
counting several Silver Republicans
who are ProtectiQnists. There will
be 20 or 2I straight Republicans, each
with full term OF six years to serve
from the 4th of March next. There
will also be rs straight Republicans
whose terms will not expire for four
years from that date, and rs more
whose terms will end in two years.
As a majority Of the Senate is 40, it
will only be necessary two years
hence Tor the Republicans to elect
seven or eight of these last IS to Sc
cure their control for two years after
March 4th, 1901. That they can cas-
lily accomplish this will be evident
from the fact that the Republicans
whose terms will expire in 1901 are
from the states of Colorado, Delaware,
Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massa-
chusetts, Montana, Michigan, Mime
sofa, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, South
Dakota West Virginia and Wyom-
ing. All of these except Colorado
and Montana were carried last week
by the Republicans either for govern
Oh or Legislators. 1t is probable that
the Republicans will certainly elect at
least II of these IS Senators, which
will make the Senate which begins its
sessions March a, 1901, contain at
least so or 81 Republicans.

West Virginia Coal.

Mine Inspector j. w Paul, of West
Virginia, is now preparing his report
for the year ending June so, 1898, and
surprisingly fine showing is made in
Vest Virginia coal The total pro-
ductiou of the year will amount to
over ia, ooo, 600 tons, an increase of
nearly 5000, 600 tons over the year
before. In Fayette alone the increase
was over / 200, 900 tons over the pre-
cediag year, and the output was In
creased in every county in the State
except Mineral, Mason and Putnam,
there being some falling of in the
latter, owing to several tipples being
washed away or otherwise destroyed.
| In Marion the increase was about
200, 600 tons.
This general increase was due large
~ to the steady trade during the sum
mer. The lake shipments for 1897 %
also exceed those of the previous year
by about 4 600, 900 tons. The market
for West Virginia coal n the great
Northwest is rapidly and steadily
growing The shipment of coal to
foreign countries is also increasing,
and one firm in Marion county, be-
fore the breaking out of the war,
shipped at least 90 per cent of its out
put to Mexico. New mines are be-
ing developed in different parts of the
State, and the output for the present
fiscal year will not, under normal con-
ditions, fall below IS, 1000, 600 tons,
and will possibly exceed that amount.
Mercer county, during the last fiscal
year, regained her prestige and
shipped over million tons of coal,
the first time the million mark has
been reached there since 1891, when
the Mercer mines had an output of
/ ,2Io, 600 tons.
Over 1000 more men were ems
ployed in the West Virginia mines
last year than during the year preced-
ing, and the number OF days is con-
siderably in excess of 1896 o7.-Coal

Sam Jones' Views.

This is how Sam Jones, the evange-
list, expressed himself on the politi-
cal situation in Louisville the other
day:
president Mckinley is not only a
good, clean, christian man, but he is
a good, clean, safe, conservative Pres
ident. The Republicans will nomi-
nate and elect him again. If he has
made mistakes, and don't say or be-
lieve that he has, in the conduct OF
the war, they are not his bur his
friends and advisers. He has been
careful, conscientious, exact. The
party cannot afford to nominate any
one else. Roosevelt is a good man.
He'll make a good Governor of New
York. AS Police Commissioners he
made it possible to revolutionizeaNew
York City. He did revolutionize it..
He is a man of backbone, and, after
all man, mind you, is about o5 per
cent backbone, with a little hair,
brains and flesh thrown in. He'll be
President after Mckinley if he keeps
M his gait. see no reason why he
should not run with Mckinley two
years hence as Vice-President. They'd
make great team"

Canada, as with other nations, but
strongly opposed to the jug handle
articles which Canadians have hereto
fore sought. AS soon as the Cana
dians are willing to give as much as
they wish to take treaty can be ar
ranged.
Hon. II. S Foster, member of the
British Parliament, who is visiting
Washington, quotes President Nc
X inley as having said to him, during
a conversation ON the relations be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, that "the feelings of the two
peoples would be fruitful for the cause
of humanity and civilization, and
that "the cooperation of the two
countries did not depend upon paper
treaties or written obligations, but
upon much deeper and more lasting
basis.
Representative Dalzell, OF Pa, who
is a member OF the House Committee
on Rules, was asked whether there
was likely TO be any currency legisla-
ton at this session of Congress. He
replied eWhat is the need of it? We
have an abundant revenue, and as
long as that is the case, there is moth
ing the matter with our currency. |
do not think there will be anything
done on the subject at the coming
session of Congress. There may be
some currency during the fifty-six
Congress, but how broad and general
it will be ! cannot say. do not
think the country would suffer if there
were none. The people have no ques-
ton about our money as long as our
revenues are all right
Secretary Long will, in his annual
report, recommend that Congress
authorize the building Of three new
battleships and twelve cruisers, and
the enlistment in the Navy Of twenty
thousand men and two thousand five
hundred boys.

LAFAYETTE Monument Fund.

Contributions from the school chill
dren of the country to the fund Great
ing a monument to Gen. Lafayette in
Paris, it is thought, will reach $500,
600. Pennsylvania and Ohio have
each contributed $50, 900, and Illinois
over $40, 900.
No contributions from New York
state have been received, as the SUI
perintendent OF schools forbade a col
lection being made. Several wealthy
New York men may make donations.
Commissioner General Peck says
the monument will probably be un-
yelled July a, 1900, United States
day at the Paris exposition.

A horrible accident happened near
Harrisville, Richie county. Friday.
The two young sons OF Lewis Meyers,
who were searching for stove CRATE
in a corn crib by the aid of a lighted
match, ignited gallon can OF kero-
sene oil and terrific explosion fol-
lowed, destroying completely the
corn crib and fatally burning the
boys, aged, respectively, twelve and
fourteen years. Large quantities of
the burning oil was thrown upon
them, and they were enveloped in
flames when aid reached them. One

west Virginia Economy J"

The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
of last Tuesday editorially devotes
considerable space 10 commenting on
the finances of this State.
The Commercial Tribune says;
"Our neighboring State, West Vir-
GINA, is pleasing distinction i'll that
it has followed the scriptural iujune-
ton, and owes no man anything;
more than this, it has 81, 900, 900 on
deposit which receives interest. This
seems an altruistic condition of af.
fairs. -
The editor then quotes from a
Maine paper, which says that West
Virginia is located over mine OF
wealth, a coal center. an oil center,
but its frugality may be less conspic-
uous than its good luck. This Maine
editor then goes on to say that there
are better things than boarding mon
ely, when thousands of children are
born yearly to die in ignorance and
when the OK team personi6es the idea
of progress. Better fifty years OF
Europe than cycle OF the backwoods,
where the school and school house
flag are not. Economy is just and
wise, the editor continues, but pru-
dence is an essential, but there is no
prudence in money at interest when
the people hunger for the things that
the money thus taken from them by
taxation is diverted to other purposes
than their immediate needs and those
of their families. The Commercial
Tribune editor attacks this unjust
comment on West Virginia. saying
that there is some force in the posi-
sition assumed by the Maine editor
and says that from what we know OF
West Virginia we have an impression
that the school house flags are flying
in a pretty we'll distributed way.
The expenditures for educational pur-
poses may not be so large per capita
as in other states, but that is because
the topography of the State iorbids
buildings in great proiusion. In
other words the population of the
mountains, though scattered, is large.
If it were condensed into villages,
The schools would be mole numerous,
but even as matters stand at present,
the opportunities are plenty for the
youngsters to get good educations,
and without cost If money has
been diverted to wrong purposes, 1t is
news 20 us, as we have looked upon
the State as one we'll and economical
lily governed. At least they who live
within its bounds seem well satisfied
with prevailing conditions. Anyhow,
if there is room for improvement
along any line they will get it, as 1t
is now almost a Republican State .
The Commercial Tribune's compli-
ment to West Virginia is timely and
no doubt the editor wishes he could
say as much for Ohio. Ohio, natur
ally a wealthy state, seems to be too
full of prominent politicians and ma
tional statesmen to have managed fl
naucial affairs successfully enough to
show balance in the treasury. The
trouble in Ohio seems to be that the
legislature is an extravagant body
Away living beyond its means, and
as a natural consequence the state
treasurer is in hot water all the time
over his cash account. The state s
finances are horded in vaults in the
capitol without interest. Why don't
Ohio try West Virginia's plan and
distribute the money among the
banks?-Preston County Journal.

TITLE TO TERESA.
Our Claim Held 10 BE C0Od-ship
May Not he Worth saving.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-The off,
Gals at the navy department are inter-
ested in the news from Nassau identi-
flying clearly the steamship lying off
Cat ISLAND as the Maria Teresa.
The legal status OF the vessel has
been considered cursorily, and in the
opinion Of the department the title OF
the United States to her is unimpaired,
Notwithstanding the fact that it was
necessary to abandon her for a time.
There may be some question involved
as to the payment of salvage to the
Bahama fishermen, but that depends
in a large measure on what they have
done II they have simply been loot
ing the vessel, then not only are they
not entitled to salvage, but the goods
stolen may be recovered.
on the other hand, If 1t was the fish
ermen who anchored the ship in smooth
water and If they made any endeavor
to bring her in probably they will
have good claim for salvage. The
vessel, however, is not subject to de-
tention on this account, international
law exempting national vessels from
seizure on any score in time of peace.
In such case the salvors might, after
allowing the vessel TO proceed, present
their claim to the government Of the
United states through the diplomatic
representatives, Of the British govern
ment
From the account received II is fear
ed that the damage to the vessel sus-
tainea through the storm and the prob
ablc pounding upon the coral reefs out
lying Cat island added to the wounds
received by the ship in action when she
was sunk originally are sufficient to
render her entirely valueless. Nothing
but an experts examination can deter
mine this point, but as the Merritt ex-
ports are already on their way to Cat
island that question win soon be de-
cided.

PARIS, Nov. 12.-Mme Dreyfus, It is

NAL minister yesterday for permission
10 send her husband some warm cloth
ing for his return home. Her request
was refused on the ground that the
government would do whatever was
necessary.
At the same time the authorities read
TO her a letter from her husband to the
effect that, having for five months adj
dressed appeals for revision to General
de Boisdeffre without getting any reply
and being wearied and exhausted by
his useless appeals he would write no
more to his family or to anybody. He
described himself as III and dying and
bequeathed TO the generosity Of my
country the care Of rehabilitating my

quest also was refused.

NASSAU. N. F.. Nov 1.-THE British
admiralty authorities here are going to
take possession Of the Maria Teresa as
derelict.
The American consul has protested
against this course, claiming everything
less the salvage.
The steamer Antillia has left here for
Cat island, with customs officers and
police on board.
Opinions differ as to the chance OF
saving the cruiser. Although she has
been aground since Thursday, the Ma

the weather Is moderate.
Wreckers who have arrived here have
brought with them stores from the
stranded vessel off Cat island which es-
tabllshes beyond a doubt that she is the
lnfanta Maria Teresa.
AS the vessel is looked upon as being
a derelict. the wreckers claim the right
TO seize the stores which can be saved.
They report that the water is up 10 her
between decks. that she has a list to
starboard, which side is damaged, ana

The massacre of the missionaries re-
ferrcd to in the foregoing dispatch grew
out Of the dissatisfaction of the natives
with the local hut tax. A number Of
chiefs rebelled. and the insurrection
spread through the Sherbro district,
where the headquarters of the mission
aries Of the United Brotherhood Of
Christ were located. The insurgents
burned the mission houses and murder
ed a number of the missionaries, among
them Mr.. and Mrs. Cain and the Misses
Archer, Hatfield and Schenck. Several
of the missionaries-Mr. and Mrs. Burt
ner, Mr.. and Mrs. Minshall and the
Misses Muller and Ward-succeeded,
after terrible experiences, in reaching
Free Town, capital Of the British colo
ny of Sierra Leone.
a British expedition was subsequent

Of the missionaries were subsequently
recovered. Native chiefs to the number
