ONE of the most commented upon
features of the present strained Cuban
situation, says Washington dispatch,
is the perfect accord and unanimity
with which the executive and judicial
branches of this government are CO.
operating. Fer the first time since
Cuban affairs have reached their pres
ent precarious condition, the President
and Congress are working hand in
hand, and the criticism which marked
the previous course of Mr.. Mckinley,
has now turned to admiration. The
hotheaded members of Congress now
appreciate the wisdom and conserva-
tism of the Chief Executives policy,
and they do not hesitate to express
their admiration. Their feeling is
now, il they never had it before, that
a pilot who can be trusted is at the
helm. The President, it is said has
believed that Spanish jingoes have
been trying to force him into a war.
His efforts have been directed toward
averting such a calamity SO far as 1t
was consistent with the nations honor.
If hostilities should commence, Spain
will be to blame. -

BOUND OVER TO ooRRr.
Bond to Await the Action of the Grand
Jury.

Morgan Mcsweeney Committed without
Bond to Await the Action of the Grand
Jury.
The preliminary hearing of Morgan
McSweeney was resumed as the Court
House Wednesday afternoon before
Mayor Meisenhelder. The defense ex-
amined two witnesses, Marshal j. H.
Dye and John Johnston, but no new
information was elected. In binding
McSweeney over to await tho action of
the grand jury, Mayor Meisenhelder
said: From the evidence in the case,
/ will say that the murder described in
the affidavit has been committed, and
the proof is evident that the defend
ant, Morgan McSweeney. has COM
mitted and is guilty of the crime set
out in the affidavit. l will, therefore,
order defendant, Morgan McSweeney,
to be committed to the Jail in Wash
ington County, without bail, and an
swer forthwith to the Common Pleas
Court of said county"
In the examination of witnesses Nc
Sweeney's hearing was purely super
fetal and no attempt was made to
draw out those testifying. McSween-
ey's daughters, Mary and Maggie, were
each ordered to give bond in the sum
of 5000 for their appearance in Common
Pleas Court. Their own signatures
were accepted on the bonds and they
were released.

A BAD GANG.
Arrest and Conviction of scotty Myers
Leads to Their Discovery.

Leads to Their Discovery.
1t is not generally known that Sheriff
McCailister's nervy capture of the burg
lar, Scotty Myers, was the initial step
which has led to the unearthing of one
of the worst gangs of robbers eyer or
ganized in the Ohio Valley, but such is
the case The Sistersville Oil Review
has the following.
There has been discovered what
would seem to be the headquarters of
notorious gang, and it hos since been
proven to have been the home of Myers
and Livingstone, and they were acces-
sories of "Ten-fngered Jack" George
Black, alias George Hoofer, who was
sentenced few days since from St.
Marys for looting the o. R. R. R. depot
and express offices at Raven Rock.
The headquarters where all the petty
thefts of this and other neighboring
towns were planned and where the
plans were laid for catching the un-
suspecting farmers who at the points of
guns were made to give up the earnings
that years of hard labor accumulated,
was found to be only a modest little
shanty boat just below Friendly.
Detective Mehen has been shaiowing
the boat for the past week in the hope
of still finding some one else implicated
His watch was not rewarded and it
seems the boat has been deserted. This
morning before leaving the place he
decided to investigate and see what
might yet be left. A search was insti-
tuted and twenty skeleton keys were
found. Enough, said Mr.. Mehen, to
unlock every business house in Sisters
vile. Carpenters, coopers' tools,
blocks and various other things were
found that had evidently been stolen.
The goods which this gang stole were
sent here and shipped by an accomplice
to points near Pittsburg, to relatives
who disposed of them. This last allie
cation has been esta blished almost to a
certainty, and arrests will occur in a
few days.

Whee1men's Interests

The United States government.
through the office of Road inquiry OF
the Department of Agriculture at
Washington, d. c., is building sample
roads in several eastern states. Ohio
is entitled to her share, but will not
get it unless she asks for them. Every
one therefore who would like section
of improved road in their vicinity
should lose no time in urging the Con-
gresham from their distrsct to get one
of these roads built in their neigh bor-
hood before the appropriation is ex-
haused. Ohio ought not to get left on
the deal.
The bill to tax bicycles 81 each, in
troduced by Mr.. Laub, of Fairfield
county, and was referred to the SEN
ate committee on Taxation, has been
indefinitely postponed. Such meas
ures are unjust and illegal and the
Ohio Division L. A. w. is on record as
being opposed to them in no matter
what form they bobup.
In the report of Secretary Bassett at
the recent meeting of the National
Assembly L. A. w. in st. Louis, NO.,
the increase in the membership of some
of the larger divisions was as follows:
Illinois II per cent, Massac chusetts 80
per cent, New York 81 per cent, Con-
neticut 81 per cent and Ohio 42 per
cent. Ohio, like long distance rider,
doesn't spurt, but gets there.
Several villages have been in the
habit of replenishing their treasury by
arresting wheelmen on all sorts of
TRIVIAL charges and the Ohio Division l..
A.W. will try to put stop to it.
They have prepared bill which will
prohibit any town Or village from ar
resting or fning any wheelman for vi
olating local bicycle ordinances unless
a sign. stating the restrictions and
the penalties, be placed in conspic-
uous place at the corporate limits on
all roads leading into the place.

Ioung Venezuelan Has nccorae n
Yankee Maniac and Rides N Wheel.
In America there is a type of indi-
vidual who turns up his trousers, docks
his horses tail, and when he travels
hands in his brasses to redeem his lug
gage. Among the native-born Vene-
zuelans his prototype, according to q
writer in the New York Tribune, is nu-
merous and diversified. Sometimes he
has been educated at Harvard or Yale; 1;
then he is Yankee maniac"
He is unduly energetic, and vainly
epdeavors to inspire in his companions
love of football. He dresses in tweed,
and has been known to ride a bicycle,
when he becomes an object of interest
to the community and of anxiety to his
unsophisticated mamma. She calls the
blessed saints to witness the scandal of
1t! That her young Jose should expose
to the world the calves of his legs, put
peaked cap upon his head, and go tear
ing through the streets on two
wheeled machine, followed by an ex-
cited crowd of riffraff to
their windows as many interested but
more dlgnlhed spectators; II is dread
full! She talks to Jose by the hour, but
he only laughs and persists in his wick
edness.
He even goes further. He becomes
acquainted with the foreign tourists at
the hotels, girls of the most immodest
appearance, who wear coats like men,
and shirts, and stiff collars and cravats
and sai,or hats. They go upon the
streets. these boy-girls, unchaperoned.
carrying a little Black instrument with
which they take everybody's picture,
and often they are accompanied by
Jose.
He says they belong to the best North
American families, which is state
ment that Jose's mother cannot bring
herself to believe

WE ARE "THE" AMERICANS.

Are we 1.-The" Americans or not? At
least here is defnitive admission tn at
we are from the head of great nation
that has long been chief disputant to
our claim to the title. Common usage
abroad has made us always the only
Americans Other inha bitants of this
continent are known as Canadians,
Mexicans, Brazilians, etc. But we are
always the Americans. In any of the
smaller capitals of Europe, if you ask
for the residence of the Ministre des
Etats Unis, no one in the streets at
least will have the slightest idea who
you are talking about And yet every
gamin will rua to show you the house
of the Ministre d'Amerique.
There was much discussion of this
subject last summer when the engraved
stationery Of our new Ambassador to
St James first made its appearance in
London. Mr.. Hay decided to accept
the title of general usage rather than
the utterly unused official one. So his
visiting cards are engraved simply,
'The American Ambassador Invita-
tions read, "The American Ambassador
and Mrs. Hay, At Home" etc. All OF
this naturally stirred up the dispute
which is probably still raging after the
manner of the intermina BILE contro-
versies which the London papers en-
courage in disputatious contributors.
There was last summer host of Cana
dians, Brszilian and other neighbors
protesting in the papers against Mr.
Hays assumption of a whole continent
as his home.
Now comes a strong adherent TO the
ranks of the Ambassadors defenders
The London Times gives very fully a
recent address of the Canadian Premier,
Sir Wilfrid .Laurier, in which be begins

and applaud the wit OF the here and hiss

an air of enjoyment quite at variance
