Communication and Position Con
corning the Matter.
WHEELING, w. We, July II.
Having been to some extent sug-
gested as a probable candidate at
the Weston convention for Con-
gress, it is not improper that I
should say something upon the sub
ject.
There will be no lack of strong
and popular candidates at the COM
ing convention. Among those who
will have strong advocates, to-wit:
Messrs. Arnett, Howard, Camp
bell, Kincaid, Blair, Davis, Speery,
Holt, Brannon, Withers, Kelley,
and Fowler, a winning leader can
easily be found.

CATION to my party for past favors,

Speaking of "Obiigations."

Speaking of "ObligatiOns."
The Oil City Derrick publishes a
long wall over the fact that the
Standard Oils pipe lines and its
adopted contingent the Tidewater's
line are the only-only's in the oil
piping business which are obliged
to succumb to the exactions of the
revenue law and help to pay Uncle
Sans army and navy expenses.
No doubt but the United States and
the Producers and Rehners pipe
line companies would gladly share
in paying these revenue taxes could
they be allowed to do sufficient
business to bring them within the
limit, but as the Standard Oil com.
pany has so long hogged almost
everything in sight and done its ut
most in every way to harass and
curtail the business of its antagon-
lists, it must now "pay the piper"
while the others sit by and
listen to the music. 1t is
no fault of the independent
companies that with the single
exception of the Underwater, there
is not pipe line company, outside
of those of the Standard Oil com
pany, that comes within the provls-
ions of this act" The Derrick
also entertainingly sets forth that
the STANDARD Pipe Line companies
have already gone to great expense
In having new gauge books printed
in order to comply with the law"
but it forgets to state that the con-
tract heretofore printed on the
back of the tickets in these gauge
books in entirely eliminated from
the "new gauge books" in order to
save the great Standard the sum of
23 cents on each ticket and thus
prevent the grand total it would
make from going toward paying
the expenses of the war. AS the
Derrick claims 'the Standard
Pipe Line companies average a..
900 runs a month";" the blank
look on the back of the tickets in
the "new gauge books" will beat
Uncle Sam out of nearly $4,000
per month, an amount which if
more properly directed would make
quite a show of patriotism on the
part of Standard Oil. In the face
of this cutoff by the Standard Oil
company of $4,000 per month from
the government, the Derrick says
that "The present tax must come
entirely out of the profits of the
transporting and refining interests
and no industrial concern in the
country will meet these obligations
more cheerfully than the Standard
Oil company. The government
must be sustained and the necessi-
ty of the present war tax is free.y
admitted" and yet one of the first
acts of the Standard is to lessen it's
obligations" from $1,000 to $40
per month in one item aloue--

the matter. 1t breathes loyalty to
his party and assures the nominee
of his hearty support.
Mr.. Pend1eton. as far as we can
learn, IS the choice Of Tyler's de-
mocracy, and doubtless some will
be disappointed to learn that he is
not candidate.
However, there is plenty of tim,

CAMP ALGER, VA,
July II, 1898.

Shafter' S victory.
The bands are out and marching
all over camp and through the
company's streets, and the soldiers
are all following.
When the paper came out there
was another uproar, as it said that
the first division comprising the
Eighth, Twelfth and Thirteenth
Pennsylvania, First New Jersey,
Seventh Ohio, Sixty.Fifth New
York and Third Virginia was going
to Porto Rico within ten days.
Major General Butter will have
charge of the division. He had
been to the war department quite
often trying to get them in the
expeditions that sails soon.
They ordered a general inspec-
ton of the men and quarters, and a
note was taken of everything that
was lacking in equipment of men.
Our regiment is fully equipped and
ready to move at an hours notice,
and if word would come to move
they would be ready quicker than
that, as all are anxious to get to the
front and kill Spaniards before it
all ends. They don't want to go
home and have it said that they
we're nice soldiers-didn't kill
man.
Well, everything in camp is quiet
today, as our flag is at half mast in
memory of Major Weidler,who was
major of the Third Battalion of the
Seventh Ohio, and who died at his
home in Chillicothe, of fever. The
following resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t having pleased Al
mighty God to muster out by death
Our beloved comrade and friend,
Major Edward w. Weidler, and
WHEREAS, In his removal the
regiment has lost a faithful and
efficient officer; his loving wife
and child have lost an indulgent
husband and father, and the sol
diers of this command an esteemed
officer; therefore, be it
Resolved. That in deploring our
loss, the sympathy of all be evinced
by forwarding to the family an
engrossed.,cop of these resolutions,
by the half.masting of our garrison
flag for a period Of ten days and by
the wearing of Grape on the hilt Of
the officers swords for a period of
thirty days.

RUSH ORDERS AT NORFOLK.
Squadron-Working Night and Day
on the Princeton.

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 15-The orders
toWork night and day on the gunboat
Princeton, now at the navy yard, and
to rush work on other vessels, have
caused surprise among the officials.
The Princeton is to join the North At
lantic squadron, ssembling in Hamp-
ton Roads, and as this fleet is expected
to be ready for instant service, this ex-
plains the rush on the gunbOat. But
the monitors Puritan and Terror are
also included in the rush order. AS it
is improbable that these slow war ships
will again be attached to a squadron,
apparent.
At the naval magazine at st. Julian's
Creek there have been loaded recently
some 10000 six-pounder shells. The
shells will be shipped to the Mare
Island navy yard, and it is believed
that they will ultimately go to Manila
to replenish the magazines OF Dewey's
ships. The shipment of such large
quantity OF ammunition across the con"
tinent is very unusual.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The battle
ships and armored cruisers in northern
waters will soon be modified at Hamp-
ton Roads, all new work on the ships
having been ordered stopped, and the
vessels will be rushed away from navy
yards as fast as possible.
The New York and Brooklyn are in
splendid shape, and repairs to the Mas
sachusetts and Indiana will be COM
pleted this week. The Texas will not
be far behind them.
The Oregon and Iowa will remain on
the Brazilian coast for another ten
days at least. By that time, the au-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-What will
probably be the most important sitting
of the Paris commission will be held
Wednesday for the purpose of entering
upon the final stage of the peace ne
gotiations. The Spanish commissioners
will present to Judge Day and his col
leagues the reply to the American de-
mand for the REIMBURSEMENT by Spain
of sovereignty over the Philippines.
The latter will thereupon submit
to the Spanish representatives note
stating in emphatic language that the
United States can no longer permit
discussion over the question of its
right to make such demand, and the
Madrid government must agree to the
transfer of the archipelago without
further delay. Only in the event of
compliance with the demand of the
United States will this note be with
held.
should Spain" said high official,
who has authority to speak for the adj
ministration, decline to surrender the
islands and continue the discussion,
after the presentation of the note,
an ultimatum will be presented requir-
ing the Spanish commissioners to inn
mcdiately consent to the preparation Of
the treaty upon the lines already agreed
upon with respect to Cuba, Porto Rico
and Guam island, and that treaty will
also provide for the cession of the Phil
ippines to the United States. Refusal
to comply with the ultimatum will
cause the Termination of the negotia-
tions and the military occupation of
the Philippines"

Bullet Into the Robbers Brain.

New YORK, Nov. 16.-Rev. Maurice
ROsenthal, a Jewish Clergyman. was
aroused from his sleep early Tuesday

HE LEAVES DEVILS ISLAND.
Dreyfus' Story Will Be Heard and Then He
Will Be Taken Back TO Prison to
Await Justice.

PARIS, Nov. 15.-The rumor that
Capt. Dreyfus is dead is unfounded,
but in view of the prisoners last de-
spairing statement to his wife, many
believe that such an occurrence is
possibility of the near future.
Indignation increases at the heart
lessness of the government in not ac-
quainting Dreyfus with the latest IA
vorable developments in his case.
According to the latest reports Capt.
Dreyfus is to be sent to Cayenne,
French Guiana, where his deposition
will be taken by French officers and
forwarded to Paris. Then the UNI
fortunate prisoner will be returned to
the Island of the Devil.

MADRID, Nov. 16. According to semi
official statements here, the Spanish
peace commissioners will maintain
their present attitude in regard to the
Philippine islands, and will certainly
not accept the conditions OF the United
States. Further, if the discussion does
not return to the limits of the protocol,
as viewed by the Spaniards, the Span
ish commissioners have decided, in
spite of contrary reports, not to sign a
treaty of peace.
1t is also learned from the same
sources that complete accord prevails
between the Spanish government and
it's peace commissioners.
