they could meet. He made money and
finally put three shows on the road. The
hard times came and he pulled off two of
his companies. He kept his name before
the public, and after a short and prosper

George Wilson is an entertainer pure and
simple. He is a minstrel genius and is
funny without knowing why. Wilson has
had varied career. He was born in
London, but came to this country when
an infant When lad he went to China
with his father, who had d consular posi-
ton. His father died in the Flowery King
dom, and Wilson was thrown on his own
resources. At this time the Black Flag
rebellion was In progress and Chinese Cor
don had just gotten into the game as COM
mander Of the imperial forces. Wilson en-
listed, did service and rose to be a lieu
tenant in few months. When the war
was over he was given passage to San
Francisco. He landed without a cent and
went 10 music hall and asked for an
engagement, He gave a private exhibi-

that ne could make good. Wilson has
never lacked for employment since. He
has managed big companies and he has

Cleveland and Wilson have been bitter

combined their companies. Among their
stars are E, M. Hall, John Queen ana

A BATTERY.
Senator Faulkner Urges That West
Virginia Be Allowed to Furnish
One --Dorr and Dayton Working on
Fences.

Special to the Register.
Washington, d. c., June 9.-Senator
Faulkner to-day called on the President
to ask that West Virginia be permitted
to furnish a battery of artillery under
the second call. This would be IN ad-
dition to the full regiment to which the
State is entitled under the second call
after having furnished $50 recruits to
fill out the existing regiment. The Sen
ator was assured that his request would
be given full consideration in the Adj
jutant Generals Office, but he is not
hopeful that early action will be taken,
as the energies of the war department
are being devoted to recruiting the pres
ent volunteer force to full strength
and because the formation of the new
organization has not been fully worked
out.
Congressman Dayton returned this
morning.
Congressman Dorr is looking after
fences in the Third district, where
there is strong opposition to his renom-
nation. He will return on Monday.

BANISHED FROM PORTO RICO.
Harsh Treatment of British Consular
Officer Accused of Giving Us Information.

Harsh Treatment of British Consular
Officer Accused of Giving Us Information.
New York, June "a copyrighted
special from st. Thomas, Danish West
Indies, says:
Suspected of having furnished the
United States with information of the
mining of the San Juan harbor, Walter
Bett, secretary OF the British consul
ate at that port, has received his pass
ports and been banished from Porto
Rico by order Of Governor General Ma
cias.
Mr.. Bett was imprisoned in a dun
geon for fifty-six hours and during that
time was subjected to gross maltreat-
ment.
British Consul General Crawford
has made formal protest to his govern
ment, and serious international compli-
cations are imminent
The day after the bombardment of
San Juan by the ships Of Admiral
Sampson, General Macias caused an
extensive system of mines to be in
stalled in the outer harbor, in antici-
patton of return of the ships and a
subsequent bombardment
Although the greatest care and sec
recy were observed by the Spanish in
mining the harbor, the details of the
IL 70 nrol
Hanna. He is now making an extern
sive report of the operations to the
Navy Department
In some way General Macias learned
of this and, as the British consulate
has been guarding American interests
in Porto Rico since the withdrawal of
Mr.. Hanna, he at once suspected that
Englishmen had conveyed the news to
the United States official He peremp-
torily summoned thirty British sub
jects before him and put them through
searching examination, after which
for twenty-four hours.
Upon Secretary Bett, General Ma
cias visited most of his wrath. The
British official was practically accused
of having revealed the military pre-
parations and he was dragged off to a
dungeon There he was kept for fifty
six hours, in face of the protests Of
Consul General Crawford
When he was released Mr.. Bett was
presented with his passports and or
dered out of Porto Rico. He has left
for St Thomas.
The military plans of General Ma
cias were not disclosed to Mr.. Hanna
by British officials or subjects, but by
trusted officers attached to General Ma
class staff.

HASrENIN TO ISSUE MORE BONDS.
Secretary Gage is preparing to is
sue 5000 .OO0. coo CT bonds under the war
revenue bill.
What alacrity this national banker at
the head of the Treasury Department
displays in the matter, and, notwith-
standing the bluff that small bidders
will be given the preference, what a
snap it viii be for the bankers and the
bondholders generally-this immense
increase in the national bonded debt!
1t Will saddle them and their heirs on
the country as interest reaping credl-
tors until far into the next century.
That is the Republican way
The Democratic way would be to
raise the money at once by taxation and
settle the war debt when the war it
self was settled and have done with 1t.
Moreover we have an indemnity COM
ing from Spain, which would even up
our war account, if we would conduct
il on a sensible cash basis.
But that would not suit the national
bankers and the bondholders. They
want the nation burdened with never
ending interestLbearing debt. of which
they will be the benefciaries for de-
cades to come.

Quay has disguised the better element

in consequence, and if the Democrats
avoid factional quarrels and put up the
right kind of man they will elect
him.

wagon loaded with cotton and had
his leg broken. He is getting
along very well now.

The rain and wind of Saturday
morning was very unexpected to
our people, who ON retiring Friday
night had no thought of rain. The
wind blew in fitful gusts all day
yesterday and outdoor business was
very disagreeable. At an early
hour in the morning the north wall
of r. w. Randol's new stone build
ing, on the old Jail site, fell with a
crash. The wall would have been
completed by noon yesterday. II
is thought the unfinished condition
Of the wall and the deluge of rain
falling on it washed out the soft
mortar and the structure had tc
fall. In the afternoon Burnitt'
large sign board at the corner Of
Broadway and Springer was blowr
fiat to the ground. A few small
outbuildings have also been blowr
down.

man attempted catching her by the

neck. Miss Hobson screamed
Justify and instant help came from
the house as the william disappear

lady suffered much pain for a time
on the neck where the Williams

the skin. There is no clue to the
guilty party or whether he was
white or black.
