Questions Considered by Local No
80. international Association


SO. International Association.
A largely attended meeting of the local
No 96. International Association, was
held last evening in its hall.
The most important matter considered
was the proposition to increase the ini-
tiation fee from $3.50 to so. After
lengthy discussion of the subject 1t was
decided that it would be unfair to those
who intended to unite with the associa-
ton to take such a step without notice
to all concerned. 1t was accordingly de-
ternlined to postpone final action on the
matter until the next regular meeting.
Nine new members were Initiated, and
fifteen applications for membership were
received. The members of the associa-
ton are preparing TO entertain Stephen
A. Clements, the delegate to the annual
international convention, before he leaves
for indianapolis on September Il.

Boiler.

Boiler.
M. o. Burnham, an engineer, forty-fiVe
years of age, who lives at 30S Four-a nd-a-
half Street southwest, was badly scalded
while at work in L Street, between Third
and Fourth Streets northwest, yesterday
afternoon. He had been told by another
workman that the boiler of the engine he
was running had been emptied and he
started to remove the drum head for the
purpose of cleaning it
1t was full of boiling water, however.
through an inadvertence, and when the
drum head was removed the water flew
all over the engineer. He was badly
scalded about the arms and the upper
part of his body. Tie ambulance was
summoned and he was removed to the
Emergency Hospital where his injuries
were dressed. Although the burns are not
deep, Burnham was suffering severely
from the shock last night and the pbvsi-
clans were apprehensive concerning him.

1t has been some time since a rail-
road man in this end of the State an
nOunced himself as a candidate for an
office. Railroad men, as a general
rule, have always been too modest to
ask for anything in the political line
This year, however, the Baltimore. &
Ohio Company has a man in its SER
vice who will make the race to repre-
sent Marshall county at the next Legis-
lature. He is we'll known, not only
by railroad men, but by the citizens
Of the county as well. His name is
Frank Legge, and.with his family re-
sides in the town of McMechen. Mr..
Legge has never held an office under
any political administration, but he
has always done the best to help his
partl. His many friends have in
duced him to enter the contest, and
with the large railroad element and
his other friends it looks as though
lie would be one of the nominees. The
convention will be held at Moundsville
on the 25th of the month, and Mr..
Legge, with his workers, will likely be
heard from on that date.

had it that Mr. Speidel might be one of
those who would quit. The race appears

ON A JOINT RESOLUTION NOW
Perhaps a County of California.
No Report From Maine Disaster
Commission.

WASHINGTON, February 23.-Im-
mediately on the return to the city of
Senator Davis, chairman of the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations,
meeting of that body will be held to
consider the form of bill which is to
take the place of the Hawaiian treaty,
for it was admitted by prominent
Senator, a member of the committee
named, that in the absence of a two
thirds vote to ratify the treaty no more
time will be lost in pressing for con-
sideration a bill of annexation. 1t is
believed there will be sufficient votes
to carry through bill from the start,
and, a large majority being assured,
it is thought the debate will not be
prolonged. Senators favoring the bill
now expect there will be vote reach
ed upon the resolution not later than
April 1st and perhaps sooner.
In framing the bill it will be the aim
TO u6HU0 C06 future status OF the ISL
ands, which, if satisfactorily done, it is
believed will so disarm criticism in
the House as to guarantee considera-
ton there, which now means passage
1t is learned that Speaker Reeds first
point of objection is to the possibility
that State will be created soon and
two Senators and Members of Congress
given to the newly acquired territory
On account of this feeling, which ex-
tends to many members of both houses,
plan is now being considered seri-
ously OF making the Islands a county
of California, which would mean the
giving to the county of Hawaii one
State Senator and two Assemblymen
and making it the Eighth district to
insure representation at the capital.
Some advocates of this plan are urging
that it will disarm the objections of
those who foresee statehood in a short
time and secure their assent to the pro-
position

FEELING IN WASHINGTON.
Absolutely No Data to Work From.
People are Restless,

Absolutely No Data to Work From.
People are Restless.
WASHINGTON, February 24.-The
mystery unsolved is the general fore
cast here today of the report of the
board of INJURY into the Maine disas-
ter. On every side tonight the same
expression is heard. While the mem
bers OF Congress, FESTIVE under delay,
with pent up emotions reaching almost
to the explosive point, gravely contem-
plate conditions, the officials of depart
ments most directly concerned, view
ing the press reports-for they still in
sist they have no data on which to base
conclusiOn-are becoming more and
more convinced that there will be no
direct pronouncement by the board, and
that to the end of time the mystery of
the loss of the Maine will stand be-
tween these two Governments and be a
menace to a perfect understanding.
Secretary Long today said he had not
one word on which to base an opinion
as to the cause of the Maine disaster
and had no more light upon the sub
ject that he had five minutes after the
receipt of Sigsbee's first dispatch. The
semi-official statements from officers
who are in daily communication with
the department is a most perfect blank
as to the knowledge of the disaster,
which still shrouds in gloom every de-
partment of the Government and
causes serious apprehension.
To attempt to say from the position
of an armor plate lying in the upper
works of the wreck that the explosion
was internal or external in origin, il
the opinion of the officials here, il
without warrant. The Maine carried
no armor below water at CREATE
depth than two and half feet. Be
meath that there was nothing but tn
ordinary thin hull plates Of about hal
an inch structural steel. All of tn
armor, even that worked into the pro
tective deck, was entirely above tn
magazine, and in case the latter ex
ploded the armor might easily hav
been tossed upward.
