WHEELER's VIEW OF 1T.
What He Wanted to Say in the House.

Washington, March with reference
to his attempt today to secure recognition
for the purpose of addressing the House,
General Wheeler tonight said:
"There was nothing to be done in the
House when l asked unanimous consent
to speak for five minutes. was not recog-
inized, but Mr.. Payne was notified to
'Soove a recess of five minutes. 1 then
asked that, before the motion was put, l
be permitted to address the House for
three minutes. If the Speaker had sub
mitted my request am confident no
member of the House would have object
ed.
"What l intended to say was as follows {:
"No one reveres the constitution more
than myself and could not be induced to
advocate construction contrary to the
intent of its trainers.
"When received the appointment us
major general of volunteers last May / was
by persons whose desires l
could not disregard not to resign my seat
in Congress. l found that during the pres.
ent Congress thirty-three of its members
had been appointed to Offices and none
Of them had resigned their seats in Con-
gress. examined the decisions and pre-
cedents on the subject and found that 1ur-
ing the ITO years of the existence Of our
government hundreds and possibly thou
sands of members of Congress had accept
ed Office during their terms, and that none
Of them holding temporary office like
mine had ever been unseated.
~ found that the decision Of courts, even
including four decisions quoted by Gen
eral Henderson in his report, took the
ground that inhibitions found in the con-
with regard to officers referred to
officers of a permanent character and not
of temporary character. also found that
the Attorney.General of tie United States
had rendered an elaborate opinion On
this subject, in which he took precisely
The same ground as to what was inhibited
by the constitution.
81 was anxious for the matter to be
brought up in the House and fully dis
cussed, 80 that the decision would be in
harmony with the spirit of the constitu-
tion."

STATE NEWS.

Professor w. E. Peters, OF the Univer'
sity of Virginia, who has filed the chair oi
Latin at that institution for more than
thirty years, has notified the Board Of
visitors that at the expiration Of three
years he intends to resign and go to
Europe with his family. He urges as his
successor Professor Thomas Fitzhugh, an
NJ. A. of the University of Va, and now
professor of Latin in the University of

In sections of Spottsylvania county the
people are greatly alarmed about mad
dogs. A number of dogs have shown
symptoms of hydrophobia and shot guns
are kept in readiness and dogs are killed
who show the first symptoms of the fear
full disease.
There have been over 10000 persons
vaccinated in Richmond during the past
thirty days. That city has determined to
protect itself against smallpox. Since
the 91st of last December 645 cases have
existed in the cities of Alexandria and

FrIshtful Accident.

A fearful accident, narrowing in its de-
tails occurred near Wills yesterday, as a
result of which one man was killed out
right, four hurt SO badly that they will die
and sixth painfully injured.
The cause of the accident was the care
less handling of dynamite. Probably a
dozen or more disasters of a similar char.
acter were known to the very men who
were killed yesterday, yet the lesson was
not needed.
1t seems that the Section Foreman Pet
tit and five section men were at work a
short distance east of Oakvale and had
built fire, near which they placed sew
eral sticks of dynamite to thaw out. The
explosive tell, and, igniting, exploded the
others.
The explosion was terrific and the de-
tails are revolving.
The six men were standing close by
and one of them was literally torn to
pieces. His head was found some little
distance from the scene of the lamentable
occurrence and presented a truly sicken-
ing sight. Parts of the unfortunate vic
TINS body have not yet been found. The
others were badly mutilated. 1t is ru-
mored, though the report cannot be veri-
fed, that two of the injured men had their
eyes blown out.
The fire was scattered by the explosion
and the clothing of the men became ig.
nited.
One of the men who was the least hurt
started to Oakvale to summon help for his
comrades. His journey was one of great
hardship. The intense cold told on the
poor fellow in hia wounded and bruised
condition and his sufferings must have
been fearful. .-Bluefeld Telegraph, 8 inst.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

The cotton mills in New England and
the iron mills in Pennsylvania are advanc.
ing the wages of their employees. This is
against the predictions of the free traders
and the free silverites.
About rs per cent Of the officers in the
volunteer army Of the United States are
applicants for positions in the regular
army under the new army bill. They
must be satisfied with the treatment they
received as volunteers, and have not even
been disgusted with "embalmed" beef.
President Mckinley accomplished won.
ders with the late Congress in securing
legislation favorable to his views on many
important questions, with the Senate op-
posed to him politically. This he did
notwithstanding the fact that strong
policy Of obstruction was kept up by the
Democratic leadership in the Senate.
Some of the Democratic papers are rails.
ing howl about the increase in the ap-
preparations for the army and navy. They
cry out against the increase, well knowing
that it is the result Of our war with Spain
which was, to q great extent, forced by
Democratic leaders upon the country.
They were eager for war, but are now cry.
ing out about the conse quences Of the war.
The rudeness of speaker Reed in refus-
ing to recognize General Wheeler, when
he asked for unanimous consent TO speak
for five minutes just before the final ad.
journment of the House of Representa-
tives, will not commend the speaker very
favorably to gentlemen of either party.
MIR. Reed seemed to be trying to surpass
MIR. Bailey in rudeness to the hero of two
ware. The hostility Of both those politi-
clans to the old veteran, no doubt, is oc.
casioned by his warm friendship for Presi-
dent Mckinley and his views on territorial
expansion.
On the lst of May, 1898, Commodore
Dewey steamed into the bay of Manila and
fought the most remarkable naval battle
known to history. Oa the 4th Of March,
1899, ten months and three days after his
victory, which made him noted throughout
the world, he ran the flag Of Admiral to
the top of the mast Of the Olympia, which
was his flagship in the battle. He had
remained on the scene of his victoty for
these ten months and three days to pre-
serve for his country the fruits Of the vic.
tory, being on constant duty all the while
Dewey is remarkable man, and the whole
Manila affair no less remarkable.

Chicago fire, in 1871, where over two thou
sand acres of solid city were swept away.
or an area of nearly four square miles, the
companies in this agency paid their losses,
in full, while eighty other companies were
bankrupted. Seven companies In this
agency alone paid ninteen millions of dol

eighty brick and stone buildings in

tribute eight millions more; and again
they paid their losses in full, while some
forty companies that escaped the Chicago

their plumage to make Bond Street gay.
