SENATOR FAULKNER and ex-Gov-
ernor MacCorkle, who were authorized
to act for the commission, had a con-
ference in Washington. on Monday
with Sculptor Doyle regarding the
Kenna statue. They informed the
sculptor that the work was unsatisfac-
tory, and that he must correct certain
defects before it would be accepted.
This he undertook to do, and will re-
move the statue from the capitol to a
studio for repairs.
This whole affair has been ridiculous
and absurd. In the first place, the
legislative act authorizing the statue
was passed hastily and without proper
consideration. Then followed the APP
pointment of fearfully and wonder
fully constructed Commission" which,
after long period of wire-pulling and
narrow avoidance of scandal, awarded
a contract for the statue to Sculptor
Doyle. Mr. Doyle did mt sculp as we'll
as he Unanswered for the Job, and
finally offered the committee an efhgy
in marble that the lamented Senator s
own family scarcely recognized. In
stead of instantly rejecting the statue,
the commission has been haggling over
the matter for several months, and
now the news comes that the statue is
to have certain defects corrected.
Just what additions or alterations are
to be made we do not know, but we
think the money appropriated for this
work will be entirely wasted. If ever
this work of art, as altered and amend
ed, is set up in statuary hall we are Of
the opinion that no West Virginian
will wish to own it.

The constitution of West Virginia
provides that there shall not be two
Senators from the same county. The
Jefferson Democrats will, consequent
ly, lose their turn this year, as the
hold-over Senator, Mr.. Getzendanner,
is from this county. The honor will
probably go to Berkeley, and we have
heard of several aspirants already. We
earnestly advise our neighbors to put
up some man whose ability and fitness
for the Office will be of such indis-
putable character as to command the
full party strength and insure the reg
ular old-time majority. If Berkeley
county does not put forward such
man perhaps Morgan willard carry
off the nomination.

NO REPORT YET.


The board of inquiry investigating
the blowing up of the Maine has not
yet made its report, though it is ru,
mored that its conclusions may be COM
municated to the President the latter
part of this week. No intimatlon
whatever has been given as to what
the report will be. The board Of in
uuiry has left Havana and is now at
Key West. Presumably it has OBJ
tanned all the testimony it can secure,
and is now sitting it and drawing its
conclusions.
One of the important events Of the
week has been the purchase by the
United States from Brazil of two fine
new cruisers. The vessels secured are
the Amazonas and the Admiral Abre-
uall. The former has just been COM
pleted and ha. her coal and ammunl-
ton aboard. The latter is not yet
finished, but can soon be put in order.
Both vessels are in England, where
they were constructed. Negotiations
are pending for the purchase of other
vessels by our government, and Spain
is also endeavoring to buy warships.
/ Spain has despatched Aotilla of
torpedo-boat destroyers to Cuba.
These destructive vessels are capable
of doing enormous damage, and their
presence would be a menace to Our
Navy that could hardly be Over-estl-
mated. Our government is said to be
seriously concerned about them, as our
own navy is not well equipped with
vessels capable Of meeting their tactics
Senior Sagasta, the Spanish premier,
said on Tuesday that Spain seeks
peace, but, naturally, peace with hon
or. She seeks every means by which
peace may be obtained without deroga-
ton to herself as a nation.
Ex-President Cleveland, in an IN
terview at Princeton, said that it is
the duty of every American to Loyalty
support the government. He earnestly
hoped the present difficulty would be
settled without bloodshed.
The Spanish government has sent a
message to the President arguing that
the massing of our feet at Key West
is an act that will have tendency to
defeat SPANS plans for pacifying
Cuba. 1t will also be regarded by the
Cuban insurgents as an encourage,
msnt for them to continue the strug,
gle. This statement is regarded as an
endsavor of the Spanish government
to shift the responsibility for trouble
upon the United States.
Spanish bonds and securities have
fallen in price considerably during the
past week.

EDMOND BURKE, the great Irish
orator and philosopher, drew the like
ness of the 'jingo" over century ago,
and the description is applicable to the
tribe today just as well as then. He
spoke of him as "an impotent, helpless
creature, without civil wisdom or
military skill, without consciousness
of any other qualification for power
but his servility to it, bloated with
pride and arrogance, calling for bat
ties which he is not to fight, contend
ing for violent dominion which he
can never exercise, satisfied to be him

,truction or completed no les, than
ninety-six new vessels for war purposes
twelve battleships, thirty-two cruis-
ers, forty-one torpedo boat destroyers
