Parsons, w. Va, December l.
The boldest and most daring at
tempt to change the results of an cleo
ton ever known in the interior OF
West Virginia has been for some few
days past been going on in this
county.
1t is well known that Judge Philetas
Lipscomb, the Republican candidate
for the Legislature from this county,
after demanding a recount and con-
testing the seat of Mr.. Wagner, the
Democratic candidate, as far as an
honorable man could do, acquisced in
the action of the court, which resulted
in the certificate of election being is
sued to Mr. Wagner.
For the past three days Governor
Atkinson. Secretary of State Dawson
and Collector A. B. White have been
urging, by telegram, Judge Lipscomb to
contest the seat of Wagner upon any
pretext that will give Dawson, as Sec
rotary of State, a chance to withhold
the name of Wagner from among the
list of elected members.
Lipscomb declined to make the con-
test, and on yesterday Mr.. Stalllngs,
the chairman OF the Republican COM
mittee of this county, came to Parsons
and urged Lipscomb to sign the notice
of contest and make the affidavit re-
quired by law.
Lipscomb declined to do so, and re-
peated kilograms were sent to him
from the managers at Charleston, urg-
ing him to sign the notice anC make
the affidavit for what they called
party purposes
sJtallings and the local politicians
pressed Lipscomb during the greater
part of the day, and finally the old
gentleman said to them: go back
and tell Dawson and Governor Atkin-
son that if they want this notice served
they will have to sign it themselves
and do the swearing. l was beaten for
the Legislature in this county, and
have no grounds for contest against
Mr.. Wagner, and l decline to be a
party to any scheme which looks to
deprive him of the seal in the Legis-
lature to which he was elected
The kilograms which passed between
Stallings, Dawson, Atkinson and White
will evidently cut big hole in the
Republican corruption fund, because
of the length of the kilograms and the
great number of them.
This effort on the part of the Char
lesion gang has aroused the indigna-
ton of the people of this county ire
spective Of party, and the people of
the State should know and understand
fhe desperate game which is now be-
ing played from Charleston to steal
from the Democratic party the Legis-
lature which the people elected.

CONTINUE IN THE SENATE.
Special to the Register.
Washington, d. c., December L.
Senator Faulkner, in an interview to-
day, expressed the belief that the
peace treaty with Spain would be rati-
fed by the Senate, but that this action
might not commit the country to any
definite policy regarding the Philip
pines.
MY views on expenslon are we'll
known" he said. 1--WE don't need the
islands. After having ratified such a
treaty and thus restored state of
peace, the Philippines problem could
be disposed of as we see fit. 1t would
be my indea to establish in these is
lands an independent form of govern
ment much the same as we propose
TO inaugurate in Cuba Having done
this, we might dismiss the vexing
problem and withdraw from the East.
81 think that when the war spirit
has died out-a year from now, we will
say-the American people will take
another view of this Philippine mat
ter and be less eager to acquire pos
session of country which can never
be Americanized 1t is impossible to
Americanize tropical country
Referring to Cuba, the Senator ex-
pressed the opinion that in less than
ten years the Pearl of the Antilles
would ask to be annexed to the United
States.
Regarding his own political future,
the Senator was rather reticent.
Il want to get out of the Senate,
said he. I'm fact, as far back as 1894
[ expressed my intention to retire
from the Senate, but the necessities OF
my party and a desire to leave it in
as good condition as | found it in my
State, influenced me TO remain in
political life and help to carry West
Virginia against the Republicans.
There are contingencies which may
confront the Democratic party in my
State and force me, out of loyalty to
my party, to be a candidate to succeed
myself in the Senate, but it is too soon
to discuss this matter any more defin-
itely than this

Parkersburg, w. Va, December L.
The attempt to take from the Jail and
lynch the negro Wade Grant, last
night, by a mob of angry citizens, has
been the theme of discussion in Park
ersburg to-day and the developments
of the day have brought about great
excitement tonight, which would have
no doubt resulted in successful at
tempt at lynching had Grant not been
quietly removed from the Jail here by
Sheriff Wade by order of Judge j. M.
Jackson, to the Ohio county jail, at
Wheeling.
The transfer was made with the
knowledge of but few persons.
Grant remains defiant. He shows
no trace of fear, and remarked upon
awakening this morning that the mob
were afraid to take him.
Warrants were sworn out to-day by
Chief of Police D. Writ Heaton for the
arrest of Clifton Oliver and Jessup
Brown, charging them with melting
riot, and the officers are searching for
them.
The fact that George Melat, of Ly-
onsville, Pa, under arrest charged with
the assault of little fve-year-old Laura
Shafer, had not been identified by the
child as her assailant was the cause
of no demonstration being made to-
wards securing him by the mob.
Justice George Drennen, after get
ting another clew to the possible as
sailant of the little child to-day. had
Melat taken quietly from the Jail 10
the American House, into the child's
presence Although timid and much
frightened she said he was not Albert.
as she called her assailant. Melat
broke down, and wept bitterly.
All the while the authorities were at
work on the new clew, which resulted
in the arrest of young man, Albert
Bates, of Marietta, Ohio, charged with
the crime. Bates, as the hotel register
shows, and which he verifies by his
own statement. boarded at the hotel
when the assault was committed. He
is a paper-hanger and painter, and
is a son of Anginora Robinson. for
merly Anginora Bates, of Marietta.
Deputy Sheriff Hugh Kerr and
Prosecuting Attorney j. f. Laird
brought him from Marietta to this city
and he, together with Melat, the county
officials and others, went to the child's
home
The little girl was on the bed, and
although repeatedly changed about,
she time and again pointed Bates out
as the man who is charged with the
terrible crime upon her person.
Bates's mother, who accompanied
him here, asked for bail, but the JUS
tice refused and informed Bates's at
torneys the offense was non bailable
and the prisoner was taken to Jail.
When arrested Bates at first resist
ed, but was overpowered and persuaded
to come to West Virginia. He is near
ly % years of age, tall, slightly stopped
and somewhat lacking in intelligence.
He takes his arrest eoofly.
Various rumors are in circulation to-
night, and as the developments in the
Shafer case become public the sitna-
ton becomes more strained.
The authorities are considering the
removal of Bates to Wheeling also,
and threats of serious nature are
freely made. especially by the negroes.
some Of whom declare they will avenge
the demonstration by the white citi-
zens last night by lynching Bates.
Melat will be released tomorrow.
He is overjoyed at the outcome.
