TWO VACANT SEATS.
Getzendanner and Pearson Forfeit
Their Places in the State Senate by
Accepting Commissions 10 the U. S.
Volunteers.

| Special to the Register.
Charleston, w. Va, July 13.-There
will be fifteen State Senators to elect
this year-two more than usual. Sen
ators Pearson and Getzendanner have
lost their seats by going into the vol
unteer army.
Republican leaders are annoyed by
the loss Of these members. They try
to show that their seats are not vacated,
but Sec IS, Art. 6 of the Constitution
reads: mo person holding lucrative
office under this State, the United
States, or any foreign government <
shall be eligible to seat in The Legis-
lature."
The Republicans, ii they have a ma
jority under the provision that each
house is the sole judge of it's members,
if they find it desirable will reseat
these men.
The opinion Of good lawyers is that
the Judgment Of the Senate is not
final when it's judgment contravenss
the constitution. 1t is believed the
matter can be taken to the Supreme
Court On quo warranto proceedings.
Capt. Getzendanner and Lieut.. Pear
son are not entitled to their seats even
if they resigned their commissions.
The moment they take the oath as a
United States officer their State Office
is vacated.
The Democrats will have two can
didates for the vacant places. The
Republicans do not know yet whether
they will attempt to reseat Pearson and
Getzendanner or try to elect their sue
cessors.
The Ninth district has elected but
two Republicans in twenty-five years.
They were George w. Patton in 1894,
ard Edward G. Pearson in 1896. The
Thirteenth has never elected a Repub-
lican, H. C. Genzendanner having been
arbitrarily seated by the Republican
majority. The Democrats of the Thir-
teenth can send two members for the
next session, and it is safe to say the
same can be done in the Ninth
| The Senate stands, not counting
Genzendanner and Pearson, eight Pc
| publicans and three Democrats. To
| have a majority in the Senate the
| Democrats must elect eleven members
| If they carry the Ninth and Thirteenth
districts, two members from each, ii
will leave seven for other districts
which, in the opinion of good politi-
clans, will be easy this year.

To the Editor OF the Register.
Parkersburg, w. Va, July. 12.-It Is
not often l ask for space in public
Journals, but would be glad il you
would give space for few expressions
from the Fourth Congressional dis
trict.
The Democratic committee has de-
cided on September 1st as the day to
nominate our candidate for Congress.
The great array Of eminent men who
have announced themselves as eandl-
dates indicates that we have fair show
to win, if we make. wise nomination.
All of the gentlemen named thus far
are fully qualified to represent this
district with credit, but each election
has new features and presents new
questions for consideration. OF course
we all stand on the platform of 1895,
and are ready to do battle for the prin-
ciples enunciated therein, but we must
win before we can legislate, and In or
der to win we must have a candidate
who is prepared to make thorough,
complete and effective campaign. One
who will marshal his forces and send
them to the front fully armed and
equipped. We all know the fallacy of
sending a soldier TO war without
gun, therefore, let our candidate DE
man who thoroughly understands moi
ern political warfare.
Such a man Is found in the person
of Hon II. c. Henderson, Of Wood
county.
We want a candidate who has the re-
spect and confidence Of the Democracy
of the Fourth district. especially Of the
Democrats in his home county aud
town Such a man is Hal. Henderson,
who for three months prior to aLnoufc-
ing his candidacy, was literally be-
sieged by his hundreds of personal
friends, uring him to offer for the
nomination.
We want candidate who can start
at the upper line of the district, go in
to every county, every roadway or
pathway up and down the Little Kan
awha and the Big Kanavha, Twelve
Pole Guyan and Big Sandy. and as he
takes the people by the hand look them
squarely in their eyes and feel that
their interests are his interests: that

YELLOW FEVER SITUATION.
Decidedly Encouraging Outlook for I'M
munity from the Disease.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The surgeon
general of the marine hospital service has
received telegram from DIR. Geddings,
In charge of the yellow fever detention
camp at Fontainebleau, informing the
surgeon general that all suspects except
those from McHenry had been discharged
and saying that he was preparing to close
the camp. He added a statement to the
effect that the quarantine had been rails
ed against all places except McHenry.
Discussing the situation, Surgeon Cen
eral Wyman spoke of the outlook for i'm
munity from yellow fever in the United
States for the season as encouraging. at
is hopeful to the entent at least that so
far as we have been able to discern there
is no fever in the country at present"
he said. I'VE have made quite a COM
plete investigation in various southern
States and find them exempt to date.
There Is" he continued, "encourag cement
in the fact that no fever has developed
this season in places where the disease
was prevalent last year, 1t is too early
to say there will not be an outbreak, but
on the other hand there has been suffi-
Client time for the development of the dis
ease"
Referring to the probabilities, DR. Wy
man said his office was giving careful at
tention to the conditions in Cuba with the
view of preventing the introduction of
the scourge from that island. "Hereaf-
ter" he said, mo more wounded soldiers
are to be brought from Cuba into the
United States through Florida This will
be a great help in preventing an outbreak
of fever and is a happy conclusion on the
part of military authorities"

THE SQUADRON BULLETIN'
Describes the Destruction of Admiral Ger
veras Fleet

WASHINGTON, July 13.-A copy of
squadron Bulletin, which is published
every day or so on board the flagship New
York, has been received here and gives
the following account of the naval fight
at Santiago under date of July 3:
'"This is red letter day for the Amer
ican navy, as dating the entire destruc-
ton of Admiral Cervera's formidable
feet, consisting of the Infanta Maria Te-
resa, Vizcaya, Oquendo, Cristobal Colon,
and the deep sea torpedo boats Furor and
Pluton. The flagship had started from
her station about 8 o'clock to go to ST.
honey, where the admiral had proposed
going for a consultation with Gen. Shat
ter When about a mile from the bay
the Spanish fleet was observed coming
out and making westward. The flagship
at once put about to rejoin. The exit
was remarkably sudden and the pace sus-
tanned by the enemy was such that the
flagship was more of a spectator than an
actual participant, having an opportunity
of firing at only one of the torpedo boat
destroyers. Though at no time close
enough to fire on the larger ships there
was a fine view of the successive steps of
the victory and an opportunity of forming
one in the long and successful chase after
the Cristobal Colon.
! cit is, of course, much to be regretted
tthat we were not able to save anything
iout of the general wreck. All but the
Cristobal Colon were total wrecks early
in the action, being fired by shells, run
ashore and blown up or burned. The
Cristobal Colon was chased about sixty
miles until 1 p. m. The Oregon, Brooklyn,
Texas, Vixen and New York took part In
the order named, but toward the last the
Brooklyn drew somewhat ahead and final
~ brought the Colon to bay, when she
was run ashore and surrendered. When
boarded her bow was in eight feet and
her stern in seventy feet of water. There
was a considerable quantity of water in
her engine room. Officers and men were
sent from the Oregon to take charge of
her but she gradually sank, chiefly from
all her seacocks having been opened,
which our people were not able to get at
1t is probable that we may be able to
raise her. AT least it is to be So hoped
