Legislature had passed an act nullify-
ing completely all of the interests
which American miners had SO pain
fully and extensively acquired in the
New Atlin district This caused great
irritation and was the subject of con-
siderable discussion before the COM
mission. 1t was believed, however,
that with the ratification of the treaty
which was supposed to be negotiated,
carrying with it the provision for the
settlement of the mining controversies,
the obnoxious law would be vacated by
the superior force of the treaty.
The indications are that the United
States government will be obliged to
take some steps to police it's side OF
the border in Alaska in method cor
responding to the Canadian system.
There will be nothing threatening in
the adoption of such course, for in
the official belief there is much less
risk of conflict between the regularly
organized and responsible bodies, like
the Canadian mounted police en- the one
side and the United States military
forces on the other, than between
bands of miners as opposed to the
Canadian police

Dr.. Greene'S NerYura Makes
Strong Bodies, Pure Blood
and Vigorous Nerves.

DR.. Greene's Nervura bloodand nerve remedy
always insures the greatest measure of strength
and vigor. No such thing as failure in life is
possible in perfect manhood 1t is lack of vital
force weakness and inactivity of body and
nerves-that strews the world with human wreck
age. Poor blood fails to nourish and the nerves
and muscles become weak. A noticeable failure
of strength ensues. A feeling of exhaustion
follows. Sleeplessness is the next symptom of a
decadence, intensifying the nervous arrangement.
The stomach becomes affected, as shown by bill
iousness, indigestion, dyspepsia, weak back,
headache, melancholy, encouragement, until the
sufferers begin to despair of recovery.
DIR. Greene's Nervura is the only specific for
disease and weaknesses of the blood and nerves.
Under its magic influence physical weakness, ex-
haustion and mental depression quickly disappear
and exhilaration, strength and buoyancy mark the
beginning of new life of happiness and success

STATEMENT BY Mr.. TALBOT.

To the Editor of the Register.
l notice an article in the Charleston
Gazette regarding the action Of the
committee appointed by the House Of
Delegates to investigate the disburse-
ment Of the $4,000 appropriated to pay
certain military claims.
l wish to say as the article appears
to be intended as a cut at myself, that
it does not contain word of truth.
What the committee did should not be
misrepresented, as it was in the Ga
zette. Every one who read the Jour
nal of the House knows that this COM
mitee was not appointed until near the
close of the session, and that on the
following day l. as chairman of the
committee, notified Mr.. McWhorter to
appear before the committee on the
Gath of February and lay before the
committee all papers, including COM
munications, contracts, checks, etc.
Mr.. McWhorter failed to present the
papers demanded of him. He appear
ed, but not before the committee, the
other two members of the committee
being then at Morgantown. l notified
Mr. McWhorter to appear on the fol-
lowing day, at which time the other
members of the committee would be
present, but owing to important mat
tiers then pending before the House,
failed to take the matter up. I
notified the committee that Mr.. Nc
Whorter refused to deliver the papers,
saying they were private papers be-
longing to his father and other attor-
neys who had private contracts with
the parties to whom this money be-
longed." Mr.. McWhorter had inform
ed me that he had made his report and
had filed it in the Office of the Secretary
of State. The committee called on the
Secretary of State, who delivered the
papers filed in his Office. On investiga-
ton we found Mr.. McWhorter's writ
ten statement of what he had done,
but we were unable to verify it, but
from the face of the report it appeared
true. and as we had not the time to
compel Mr.. McWhorter to present the
papers demanded of him or to take
dispositions touching this matter, I
made short report and presented it to
the other members of the committee,
who signed it. Owing to some inter-
lining on the report first written and
signed ny all members of the commit
tee, gave it to the stenographer, David
Clark, clerk of the Supreme Court, who
made another copy.
l am inclined to believe that the
Gazette is only complaining because I
refused close friend of that paper, if
not one of its corresponding editors,
who continually annoyed me with the
request that l employ him as an ex-
pert to examine Mr.. McWhorter,
and allow him large sum of money,
payable out of the contingent fund Of
the House, Notwithstanding the fact
the committee was composed Of three
lawyers The Gazette is of the opinion
that all branches OF the State govern
ment that meet in the city of Charles
ton belong to that town.
I again say it is not true that I ere
ated 'furore at the beginning of the
session. or at any other time, regard
ing this matter but | did vote against
the appropriation of $685. to build a

BAR IRON MAKERS.

Members OF the Eastern Association Adopt
the Western Schedule of Extras.
Philadelphia, March 17.-At a meet
ing Of the Eastern Bar Iron Associa-
ton, held here, it was unanimously
agreed to adopt the western schedule
of extras.
This action is very important, as il
not only secures uniformity in the

No change was made as regards

A COMPLAINT.
20 the Editor of the Register.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Noticing in your issue an arti-
Gle on the opposition of the North End
residents to the new workhouse
scheme, feel encouraged to present a
grievance which is much more real and
trying to the patience and peace of
mind of the North End housekeepers.
speak of the immense clouds of white
dust or sand which come from the P,
c., C. and st. L. railroad tracks ard
which descend upon our homes at all
hours of the day and night. 1t sits
into every crevice, under windows and
doors, thus running the carpets, cur
tains and tempers Of the housewives
and making all efforts at cleanliness
useless.
If such is the case now, you can I'M
agine what the state of our houses VIII
be when warm weather comes and We
will be compelled by the heat to keep
our windows open. AS it is, the North
Wheeling housekeepers' lot is not a
happy one, and although women are
noted for their docility and submissive
ness, there is such a thing as trying
us too far, and we warn the officials
of the P. c., C. & St. L. railroad that
"the worm has turned" Aside from
the question of cleanliness, that CT
health should be considered, and 1t
surely cannot be conducive to our
health and length of life to draw into
our threats and lungs this white dust
which fills the air. What right has
the above named corporation to ruin
our property, injure our health AID
make our lives miserable? Have we
no redress, or must we calmly submit
to this intolerable nuisance? We can
not all move to the country to escape
this annoyance, neither can we biane
others for not wanting to move TO
North Wheeling while this nuisance
continues; nor can we wonder that
property holders are unable to secure
good tenants. If the Register reporter,
while interviewing North End resi-
dents in regard to the new workhouse,
had taken the time to inquire into the
state of feeling in regard to the dust
from the railroad, he would have
found the objection to the latter trou-
BILE much greater than to the former,
as the dust is real and
ever present trouble-like the
poor, always with us" while
the workhouse scheme is only a
suggestion and may never go any fur
Their. If the railroad company could
be induced to cover the Stag with which
they have filled in their tracks and
which is the cause of this gritty white
dust with some kind Of soil, this nuts
ance might be abated
| appeal to you, Mr.. Editor, to use
your efforts and the columns of your
valuable paper. in behalf of the inn
posed upon people of the North End
Trusting that this appeal for justice
and fair treatment will not be in vain,
I am, Respectfully,
NORTH END HOUSEKEEPER.

DISGRACED THE STATE.

Governor Gambler Denounces the Slaughter
of Negroes by Georgia Mob
Atlanta, Ca, March 17.-Gov. Cand-
Ter is very bitter in his denunclation
of the Palmetto affair. He attributes
the trouble to the fact that negro regi-
ments and soldiers have been passing
through the country, and the sight OF
them has placed in the mind of the
negro a spirit of boldness.
1.-The Palmetto lynching was as de-
plorable as it was bloody and coward
ly," said the Governor. ut is true the
town Was>burned in the night time, en-
dangering the lives of ali its women
and children. 1t is true that | had Of
fered heavy rewards for the apprehen-
sion ofsthe incendiarieS and that these
negroes had been arrested, and some
of them had confessed their guilt and
implicated the others in the crime.
But it was cowardly and barbarous to
slaughter them as this mob did, for
they had been arrested and were in
the hands of officers of the law await
ing a committing trial. The law was
adequate for their punishment, and
there was no doubt of their speedy trial
and punishment if convicted.
Until recently there was no race
friction in the State. The Georgia ne
gro is not naturally vicious or predis-
posed to the commission Of atrocious
crimes. This was demonstrated dur
ing a hundred years of slavery. The
Georgia white man is not his enemy,
as he has had abundant reason TO
know since he became q Tree man.
Such outrages as this never, or seldom,
occurred in this State till regiments OF
insolent, drunken negro soldiers were
chartered here and there in the South.
"a mob of negro soldiers ran riot
in Tampa. Another gang Of drunken
vagabonds in Macon defied and tried
to fire on the police. For months an
other regiment of these lawless vaga-
bonds, wearing the uniform of United
States soldiers, terrorized Chickamau-
ga, and the town of Lyle, in North
Georgia, to say nothing of the Griffin
episode and other similar occurrences.
They had to be escorted through every
Southern city through which they pass
ed after they were discharged by a
battalion of police to prevent their
looting the stores and terrorizing the
people. This is the primary cause of
all these troubles. Still this does not
Justify the bloody and barbarous re-
taliation of Leesburg and Palmetto.
The white men who participated in
these sanguinary dramas are as unJus-
tifiable for their conduct as the negroes
they lynched. Both are reproach to
our civilization and a reprcach to our
State, and all the power of the State
shall be used to prevent recurrence
of such crimes and to punish the per-
petrators.'

BUSINESS MEN COMPLAIN

SAY BAD JUDGMENT WAS USED
BY THE STREET AND SEWER
DEPARTMENT IN PAVING SHIP
LEY STREET.
Sometime ago the Street and Sewer
Department paved Shipley street from
Second to Fifth with firebrick, which,
and in the opinion of the property own
ers and business men along the square,
bad judgment was used, as the bricks
have become smooth and cause horses
to fall and injure themselves. A lead
ing business man this morning said:
When we learned the street was to
be paved a petition was sent to the de-
partment for Belgian block, but it paid
no attention to the appeal, and laid the
dangerous firebrick, which causes SO
much trouble"
This morning while the team Of John
Logue G. Son was ascending the grade
with a load of brick the horses slip
pied as though the street were covered
with ice. The shaft horse fell and slip
ped for some distance, and before the
cart could be stopped his front legs
were severely injured.
