GREAT BRITAIN'S BACKDOWN.

All Parties Denounce tho Reported
Submission to Russia.
London, Feb. ga wave of indigna-
ton has swept over the press through
the country at Lord Salisbury's al
legged backdown at Ta-Lien- Wan Con-
seryatives, no less than Liberals bewail
the supposed retreat from an unassail-
able position, on the ground that Great
Britain, supported by the United States
and Japan, might safely have defied
Russia. 1t is understood that the gov
eminent is angry with The Times for
revealing the position. A Standard ed
ftorial advises the government to let
the country know as speedily as rossi-
bic exactly where it stands
The Liberals vigorously denounce the
reported backdown of the British gov
eminent, while the Conservative mem
bers of the house of commons do not
conceal their bitter Disappointment
Many decline to credit the report until
1t should be officially confirmed, and
prominent Conservative offered Lib
eral opponent to pay a substantial sum
to a public charity if the reported back
down should be confirmed. The Lib
erals declare 1t would be humiliating

MR.. BOWERS, U. S. FISH COMMISSIONER.

AS had been previously announced
and for come time expected, Presi-
dent Mckinley has nominated Hon.
George NJ. Bowers, OF Martinsburg
for U. S. Fish Commissioner. 1t
has been generally conceded that he
would get the position and there
can be but little, if any doubt OF his
confirmation. Born and raised in
this county, he is so we'll known as
not to require any biographical
sketch. Born, in or about the time
ye editor first hung up his attorneys
single, and dipped his quill in edi-
torial liquid, he has developed from a
child into good sized man and poli-
tician plenty of ambition, energy and
enterprise. We had something to do
with his earlier politics, even before
his legal maturity, and have seen
his wishes to large extent in that
line gratifed, as he passed from one
position to another. He has been
very successful, though sometimes
underneath, mostly on top. We
hope he will be equally as successful
in the finny line, and provide
a goodly supply for mans nourish-
ment, as well as give us boys plenty
OF chance for amusement and recre-
alton with the hook and rod. We
congratulate him on his new honor,
end wish him plenty OF success.

Senator Faulkner will have to clip
the claw OF that writer with the vel

He is thorough expert in biting

matical or geometrical precision and
swiftness as to very thoroughly con-
ceal the identity of the master and
weapon, while the sufferer writhing

for did he not pour out his eloquence

the wrecks of 1894 and 1896 +? Sure.
ly it cannot be said that he planted
violets then, only for the reaper
death and that now, therefore, is the
time for treason, stratagem, etc. But
evidently, there are two Richmonds
in the field, and both cannot succeed.
We can truly say that after thirty,
years of experience as an opponent
OF the Senator, he never gave jot or
title for peace or compromise, and
give or lake, the blows were as pow

THE WORK OF CONGRESS.

House Defeats Teller,s Resolution for

passed the Indian appropriation bill
after eliminating the provisions for the
leasing of the gigantic mineral lands
Of the Uncompaghre reservation in

issues, principal and interest, in silver.
The vote was Al to 80. All efforts to
amend the resolution before the final
vote were voted down, Mr.. Lodges gold
