London, Sept 22.--Great Britain's re
lations with the Iransvaal, 50 far as
surface indications here may be trust
ed, remain unchanged, ana, so far as
the former is concerned, the situation
is not likely to take on new phase
until after Fridays Cabinet council.
Whether the Beers will be content 10
wait even that long before ending the
suspense with hostilities appears open
to great deal of doubt.
The correspondent of the Daily Mail
at Pietermaritzburg Natal, telegraphs
that the military authorities have re-
ceived warning from Johannesburg
that the Beers have purchased con
siderable quantities OF cyanide of po-
tassium for the purpose Of poisoning
the streams in the Transvaal likely TO
be used by British troops.
Other special dispatches give various
details of preparations for war on both
sides. Koer troops now control both
the Beira and Newcastle railways as
they enter Transvaal territory.
The British authorities are shipping
troops daily from India to South
Africa.
"A Speclal despatch from fretorlh
says:-"The reports received here that
Great Britain contemplates proposing
a new convention, with disarmament
though discredted officially, have Gre
ated the greatest Indignation. The
burghers say they would rather die
than be thus reduced to the status of
white kaffirs. Members of the govern
ment declare that If this report be a
real reflex of England's intentions,
nothing will avert war"

plates introducing motion in the

A rNION-

In an Interview with a prominent
labor advocate yesterday it was learn
ed that it will not be long until efforts
are made to form a union of all the
members of the reportorial stats Of
the various newspaper offices in this
city. The Registers informant is a
mar hailing from Ohio, who is an I'M
firing worker for the cause of labor,
and who is well informed of the ex-
listing conditions among all classes of
workiRgmen. He said that reporters
unions in a number of cities through
out the country were in a flourishing
condition at present, and was of tho
opinion that Wheeling was as perfect
ly capable of supporting such an or
ganizati0n as any other city in the
Union.

w. H. Bailey, of Chicago, was intro
duced to the assemblage by Mr.. Lewis,
and responding promptly to a call for
an address from the chair, begged to
be excused, saying that although he
had kept track of the work of all the
organizations for the past nine years,
yet he had not been in a position to
know any of their differences. He
concluded by saying that such matters,
being general, are not interesting gen.
orally.
The secretary reported no receipts
nor expenditures, and the meeting was

A few days ago there was a story
emanating from P~ittsburg II the effect
that all the manufacturers of lead and
tin pipe, corrugated iron and kindred
products had entered into a combine
or trust. Mr.. Alexander Glass, secre-
tary Of the Wheeling ~Corrugating
works, was announced as secretary of
the new concern, which was to en-
brace all the plants of the kind
throughout the country. Mr.. Glass,
when interviewed by the Register
upon his arrival home, stated that the
reports sent out from Pittsburg were
misleading. He says the meeting was
only participated in by manufacturers
that have long since been associated
for the sake of price uniformity, and
that no new step for a closer or more
extensive alliance was talked Of much
less consummated at the meeting. The
local works remain on the same foot
ing as formerly, and no movement
such as spoken of is contemplated.

WRONG IMPRESSION CORRECTED.

A seeming error crept into the report
of the HissOm hearing, when Justice
Greer was represented as deciding that
''the attorneys for the defense had no
right to cross-questiOn Witnesses The
report should have stated that counsel
for neither plaintiff nor defendant were
permitted to examine directly or by
cross-Questioning the witnesses. This
practice is peculiar to lunacy cases, it
appears, and the present instance is
perhaps the first time it was ever
brought prominently to the front in a
Wheeling court. Justice Greer holds
the court is the only proper person to
examine witnesses in a case Of this
kind.

OIL NEWS.
to the Register

Special to the Register
Parkersburg, w. Va, February 49,
Judge Jackson, sitting in the Federal
Court, has named receivers asked
for in the cases of Steelsmith &
Boyer VS.. William A. Steele and 9th
ers. Many of the points arising in the
motion were of great interest to oil
men. The plaintiffs claimed thai the
operations on the lease in controversy
made the owners mining partners, and
that the rules of partnership therefore
applied to these operations. The bill
also alleged that the owners of a one
fourth interest in the leases and in the
oil produced already refused to con-
tribute anything for further develop
ion order to enable the owners to sell
the oil in the pipe line amounting to
' e eight thousand barrels. so as to
distribute the proceeds in proportion to
the interests actually owned or to ap-
ply the proceeds to further develop
ments; that the owners of leases con-
tiguous to the one in controversy were
drilling thereon and would rapidly ex-
haust the oil.
The finding of the court in the case
was a precedent, as it defines the rela-
tionship of joint owners of leaseholds
for Oil and the liabilities of the owners
to each other as to contributions for
developments.
The defendants in the case of J.. F.
Benner, of Butte, Pa, and William
Armstrong, of Sistersville, were made
receivers and gave bond in the sum of
$25, 900, the plaintiffs going on the bond.
