From every indication the BenWood
plate mill employees will go out on a
strike unless the Wheeling steel and Iron
CO. changes its purpose TO reduce their
wages This they are not likely to do,
for the reduced scale went into effect
yesterday.
The helpers of the plate mill, who by
the new scale will be paid on tonnage
basis and who suffer the most from the
reduction called at the company's office
early yesterday morning and threatened
to quit Immediately if the cut was to be
put into effect President Hubbard was
not present and the men were prevail,a
upon to go to work again until a con-
ference could be held with President Hub
bard.
A conference was to have been held yes
terday afternoon al one O'Clock, pu- the
men were informed later that Mr. Fab
bard was compelled to attend a meeting
of the stockholders and could not meet
them until to-day. The men decided to
continue work until to-day, but declare
that unless their old wages are restored
that they will all quit work. 1t remains
to be seen what to-days event bring
forth.

After a two days siege, George H.
Owen, who was on Saturday appointed
receiver of the East Liverpool Bridge
Company, got possession Of the toll
house at the Ohio end of the Ohio river

tempt of court This evening Shrader
and two of his men made rush on the
receivers toll-keeper, ousted him, and
gained possession of the Ohio toll
house. but they were ousted again
and retired to the West Virginia side.
This evening a blockade of twenty

refusing to pay double toll. Great
crowds stood in the rain during the
afternoon watching the battle. 1t is

Mexico is not strong enough to force

she is on the silver basis pure and

FOUND IN KANSAS.
Diligence of Life Insurance Com
pany Clears Up a Mystery Of Four
Years Standing.

Special to the Register.
Parkersburg, w. Va, January 20
About four years ago a prominent stock
buyer residing near Gallipolis, by the
name of Thompson, was returning over
the B. & O. from one Of his periodical
trips to Baltimore, where he had sold
a lot of stock. He was taken Ill east
Of here, and when the train pulled out
of the depot in this city he again COM
planned of feeling i'll, and as the train
was passing over the bridge across the
Ohio he went out on the platform.
When the train reached the other SIDE
his friends became alarmed and went
out to search for him, but he was not
to be found
The general supposition at the time
was that he was overcome While on
the platform and had fallen into the
river His family mourned for him
and the matter was nearly forgotten.
Thompson had $4,000 life insurance,
but the company was not satisfied Of
his death and resisted the collection OF
the claim. A compromise was after
ward affected, by which the widow
gave bond. if the claim was paid, TO
return the amount if it should develop
that her husband was alive. Recently
some one at Gallipolis informed the
company that Thompson was living IN
Kansas town, and a special agent
was sent there and found him engaged
in the livery business and flourishing.
He explained that he had fed to evaie
his creditors and had forgotten all
about the insurance policy. The
amount will be refunded and the wife
will join her husband.

THE PHILHARMONIC CONCERT.
A Classical Programme More Than Well
Rendered, Last Evening.

a Classical Programme More Than Well
Rendered, Last Evening.
Despite the unfavorable weather
there was a fine audience at the Car
roll Club auditorium, last evening, to
listen TO the usual bi-monthly concert
by that meritorious organization, the
Philharmonic Club. Those present
represented the best musical taste and
culture Of the city, and the rendition
of the various numbers was thoroughly
enjoyed. The programme was as fol-
lows:
MOZART Quartette No. r. &C Major.
Allegro ViVace aSSai.
Menuetto, (Allegretto)
AnGante cantabile.
Motto allegro, ttugueC
MOZART Ave Verum Corpus.
HARTOG In Petit Rein.
BACH. Loure.
From the third Suite for violoncello).
INTERMISSION.
HOFFMAN. Scherzo, op. so. No. 3.
CTrio for violin, cello and piano..
BEETHOVEN. Trio. op. No. l. No. 2.
(Piano, violin and cello)
Adagio. attacca allegro vivace.
Largo con eXpreSSione.
Scherzo, (Allegro).
Finale. (Presto).
While every number was faultleSs as
to rendition, the Beethoven trio, opus
i, No. 2, perhaps, appealed with the
most force to the auditors, and was
thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated
Although but the second of Bee
thoven's compositions. according to
the accepted schedule of his works, the
trio is mastery work, and last even
ing's performance brought out all of
its beauties.
The Mozart Quartette was played
most satisfactorily, the first move
ment being particularly enjoyable
The remainder Of the programme
was in harmony with these major
numbers, and the concert as a whole
was a delightful one
The next concert by the Philhar-
monte occurs February Sth, and the
organization should be greeted by
every subscriber. 3D."

CUBAN POLICY AT LAST.

By bribery and fraud Spain has been
enabled to capture the Cuban capital
and thus is the present trucking and
cowardly administration at Washing
ton given a technical excuse to refuse
recognition of the belligerent rights OF
the Cuban patriots, although they are
not whipped yet by very large ma
jority.
Money will do much these days that
armies cannot do. For instance, a
handful of multi-millionaire goldbugs
in London and Wall street succeeded
in subjugating the great American ma
ton to the English money standard in
the last election. What Weyler could
not do with his great armies, his ruth
lessness, his unexampled brutality and
horrible cruelty, his successor has done
with Spanish money, to the extent of
capturing the Cuban capital, although
the true patriots of Cuba have refused
to be bought and are still fighting
Our administration attitude has so
stirred up the indignation Of the
American people, whose feelings are
reflected in the debates in Congress,
that it has finally been compelled to
send an American warship to Havana
to protect from Spanish deviltry and
vindictiveness the rights of American
citizens and officials in the island,
which rights the administration allow
ed to be violated with impunity for
years before, because it had not the
backbone to call Spain to account
What the orders of the cruiser
Maine are we know not, but unless the
vessel is placed at the service of brave
Fitzhugh Lee, we wager that its COM
mander is so handicapped from Wash
ington that it's big guns will be use
less even for the protection of Ameri-
can citizens. For shot fired would
slump stocks and bonds in Wall street
and cause Mark Hanna's regiment of
Plutocrats to witness a shrinkage in
the value of their precious securities,
and rather than such terrible catas-
trophe be brought about, let every
American man, woman and child in
Cuba be murdered and outraged.
Besides the Maine there are reported
to be ready to sail to Havana other
American warships which should have
been sent there at least two years ago.
And this leads to the query if our
Weakened administration has finally
been driven into adopting an Ameri-
can policy. At any rate let us hope
that the Stars and Stripes be not dis
graced.

They would at once come to the money
standard of the greatest commercial
nation in the world or else suffer the
consequence not only of being shut
ont of the American market, bnt of
being nlaced at a tremendous disad-
vantage in the worlds markets. To-
dav, for example, while the labor of
Mexico was never So we'll paid nor
the country so prosperous, Mexican
manufacturers can undersell the
whole world, and not only are their
imports decreasing at a tremendous
rate. but their exports are increasing
in proportion. Mexico's industries are
growing rapidly and the wages of labor
in that country were never so high as
now
Free coinage of gold and silver at
the present legal ratio-the honest and
sound money of the Constitution
which we had in this country in all the
years prior to 1878, and in which all
of our governmental contracts have
been made, would break the bonds
the gold ring Of the world has fas
tened upon us and would give an
abundance of circulating medium in
the channels of trade which would
mean, in short, return to prosperity
which can never be attained under the
throttling process of the gold stand

and decreasing prices

public, took wise step in that direc-

asked to secure cooperation among
missionaries, to provide for the recep-
