CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan 81
Nathan B. Scott departed for Wash
ington yesterday after his nomina-
tion stating that he will return next
Tuesday when the balloting COM
mences
1t is believed to be the firm con
yiction of the Scott forces that they
cannot elect him with the republl-
can votes in the legislature. Three
delegates refused to enter the eau
Gus and they are apprehensive that
others will kick over the traces since
several who signed the caucus call
imposed the condition that they
would not be obligated to support
its nominee.
DR.. Asbury, at his home in Put
nan county, is said to be sick. 1t
is broadly limited that he will not
return in time to participate IN the
balloting for United States Senator.
Delegate Hunt, of Kanawha, may be
brought into line.

induce Hartonstall, of Fayette, TO

Scott.
tive nothing at all to say, sill"
was his laconic reply.
In this instance silence is sig
nifcant.
Republicans find themselves in a
sorry predicament. They are de-
termined to elect Scott, but how?
The brains and resources of the
leaders are being exhausted in
searching for solution to the vexa-
tious problems which confront them.
If their majority is not big enough
they will enlarge it. Here they
jump squarely against another snag,
the fear Of Democratic retaliatory
measures.
The Senate abandoned it's puerile
course this morning and recognized
the House.
The democrats in that body offer
ed resolutions declaring the ''war
senator's Getzendanner and Pierson
ineligible to membership.
Then the majority side proposed
to unseat Kidd by resolution and
swear in Morris, the Republican
contestant, and to unseat Senator
Ashby pending investigation by the
committee on privileges and cleo
tions. This matter will come up in
regular order tomorrow morning
and there will be lively times in the
Senate. Kidd has a proper certifi-
cate and Ashby was elected by over
500 majority. The republicans will
utterly fail to make case against
either of these Senators, but will
offer in justification their parrot cry,
can eye for an eye"
In the House Mr. Davis, of Har-
rison, offered a resolution referring
the contest of A. K. Parsons dem
ocrat), for the seat from Roane
county to the committee on privil-
eyes and elections.
While the Democratic programme
has not been revealed, it is certain
that there will be no retaliation in
the House if the Republicans carry
out their revolutionary programme
in the Senate, as indicated by the
resolution offered to-day.
They will probably 90 into the
question of eligibility of members of
the House. There are at least six
Republican members of the body

A SPEEDY TRICYCLE..
HENRY FoURNlER HAS SUCCEEDED IN
 MAKING AS MILES AN HOUR.

The Machine is Light, Easy to Manage and
 Powerful, But the Speed Is Dangerous
 and No One Else Cares to Try It-Future
 Improvements.
 Like the question of reducing to three days the time it takes t9 cross the Atlantic, the increase of the bicy- cle's speed to a point where the rider can travel as speedily and as safely as on a railroad train, is one of the things that seems bound tt to be attained. 1t IS as surely a coming achievement that awaits us in the future as is the per- fecting of the machinery of the ocean greyhound so that the present speed of the marine flyers can be doubled. In the days when bicycles run at a speed of forty-fye miles an hour a clear track will be absolutely necessary, so that with locomotive engine pace will have to come special track for the wheel men, a desirable improvement that will be welcomed by all lovers of the wheel. The attainment of the speed named by the bicycle seems to be in the hands of Henri Fournier, who has become known as the king of automobilists. What Fournier does not know about the petroleum tricycle. may as well be omitted from the wheelman's educa- tion.
 At present he uses the petroleum tri- cycle of the Dion-Bouton kind, with 11a horse power machine, averaging forty kilometres an hour. The machine is comparatively light, easy of manip- ulation and powerful. It is fitted with a motor of from one to three horse power, it's hill climbing and speed ca- pabilities being gauged thereby.

HENRY F0URNIER AND HIS TR1CILE.
 Fournfer is in deadly earnest in his determination to attain speed of for ty-fve miles an hour. To see him on one of his test trips is a sight never to be forgotten. He flies along with bulging eyes fixed on the ground over which he is flying, hair streaming in the wind and the puf6ng motor work ing at such a speed as to make one tremble to think of the fate of the rider should any untoWard accident cause a spill. He seems to know no fear when going like the wind on these risky trips. By constant practice he has become an expert in the manipu- lation of the petroleum tricycle., and will turn a curve while going at dizzy speed Of forty-fve miles an hour with all the reeklessRess of a boy.
 His performance suggests the grave danger that would accompany trips such as his on a road where similar machines are dashing along. Fournier alone on level, smooth road, with no one to kill but himself, and no machine to smash but his own, is a sight suffi- eiently thrilling. Multiply the sight by ten, and imagine that number of Fourniers mounted on flying automatic tricycles, and the spectator cannot help thinking that this would make n0vel and sure method of committing suicide.

LONDON'S LAZY CLUB.
Observance OF It's Rules Calls for =
Good Deal OF Determination
of Character.

London contains many societies, from
the ChristmStS Goose club to that for
the Worshpcrs of Omar the Tent
maker, but apparently there is another
which has hitherto escaped notice, says
the London Telegraph. 1t is called the
Lazy society" and, no doubt, in the
metropolis there are many people who
are eligible for membership. Idle per-
sons, however, had better not enroll
themselves rashly, OF they may find
that the rules demand too much deter
mination of character. Absolute lazi-
ness is task in itself, and requires
good deal of living up to, besides in
volving one in unpleasant situations.
Mr.. Reason is one of the members of
this curious community, and so in ear
nest is he that he informed Mr.. Mar
sham at Westminster that no punish
ment would induce him to break stones
or pick oakum. He was charged by the
master of the workhouse with refusing
to do any work, and he even carried his
principles SO far as to decline to wash
or undress himself. He had been pun
ished in every possible way (ominous
phrase), but all to no account. He re-
manned, in spite of all temptation, an
obstinate member of the LAZY soci-
ety." The jailer asked the defendantto
give some explanation and he answered,
with great elaboration, that work was
too hard and against his principles.
The magistrate decided that he must
suffer for his convictions, and sentenced
him to 81 days hard labor. The martyr
left the dock very quietly and slowly
and with beautiful smile on his face,

COURTING IN CUBA.
This Writer Says There Are No Hand
some MnddIe-AEed Women
on the Island.

Apparently the highest social insti-
tuition of Cienfuegos is the Sunday even
ing promenade in the plaza, and with
out it L really do not know how the
young people of the aristocracy would
manage to mate and marry, SAYS a cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Record.
During all the week senoritas of the up-
per class are kept under rigid restric-
ton, never permitted to walk abroad
alone and constantly watched by par
ents and duennas, as if expected to rush
to the bad if allowed the smallest op-
portunity. This system of eternal Wig
lance would doubtless become as irk-
some to the guardians as to the opening
buds were it not so soon over.
AT the age of 10 Cuban girl is con-
sidered quite old enough to marry, and
her parents hunt up son-in-law with
out delay-unless, as is more commonly
the case, some sub-rosa lover announces
himself, or a match, satisfactory to
paterfamilias, was arranged for her
with the son of friend while the pair
were yet in their cradles.
The beauty and charm of the fair
CubanS are as evanescent as irresistible
while they last. Like the lovely wild
flowers of their islands, they mature
very early, but fade as rapidly. The
prettiest girl will be plain before she
is 30, and handsome middle-aged wom-
an is not to be found in Cuba-if any
where outside the temperate zone.

WHERE THE BLAME RESTS.
McKinley's Supporters Trying to Shift
The Philippine Failure
on to Congress.

VII ~ OohkEobbs
Some Of tie apologists of the Presi
dent blame Congress for the failure
OF the campaign in the Philippines
and for the deplorable condition OF
the troops there. Had Congress auth.
orized larger army it is said the in.
surrection could have been crushed
long ago.
But congress on the LIST of March
passed the bill authorizing the enlist
ment Of $4,000 volunteers to increase
the army to 100000. The President
did not avail himself of this oppor-
tunity until the 9Th of July. although
it had long been obvious that our
forces in Luzon, though fighting su
perbly, we're gaining no permanent
advantage,
Was Congress Mt fault for this dila.
toriness? Was any body except the
President to blame for placing and
continuing in command at Manila a
third rate general, who insisted that
10000 troops were all that we're need
ed, and who sent bulletins steadily
from February 9th, to the collapse
and suspension of his campaign an
nounclng victories and repeating as
surances that the Filipino forces
were disntergating and the leaders
we're preparing to sue for peace?
Who except McKinley-unless it
be Alger or Corbin, his military adj
visers-is responsible for General
OTIS and his inadequate military
force?
Other supporters of Mr.McKinley's
war of subjugation declare that
Aguinaldo has been encouraged in
lis war by the opposition to the Pres
ident's policy in this country. Could
anything be more silly than this? Has
Filipino resistance to tyranny for two
centuries need any outside stimulent
to keep it alive? If the President had
sent an adequate force and a compe-
tent general to enforce his edict,
would any amount of criticism have
prevented them from sweepIngAguin-
aldo into the sea?
The plain truth is that the whole
deplorable situation in the Philip
pines is due to McKinIey's mauthor-
lied, un-American and unfortunate
proclamation for sovereignty and de-
mand for submission, and to the
weakness, the webbing and the per-
verse faulty which have characterize.
ed his conduct of the war. Any at
tempt to place the blame elsewhere
