set programme Of speeches.
The Intelllgencer presents below
sketches OF the several organizations
whose reunions occur here to-day, and
in this connection It Is not amiss to
speak OF the great part the new state
of West Virginia took in the suppress
sion OF the rebellion. With u popula-
ton o. less than 100000. over $1,000
Union troops were recruited, u larger
percentage Of the population than
shown in any other state Of the Union.
a showing that is indeed remarkable
when It is remembered that the larger
part OF the state is south Of the Mason
and Dixon line. There were then three
congressional districts in the state, and
the First led with 15.77s soldiers enlist
ed; tho Second came next with 11,432,
and the Third last with 1854. Ohio
county led with 1895, nearly one
eighth Of all the troops furnished from
the entire state; Harrison was second,
with 2,lss, and Wood a close third with
2,lsO, while Clay came in at the tail-end
with but LOG.

COMMISSION TO MEET AGAIN
Another Attempt VIII BE Made to
Adjust Issues Between United
States and Canada.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-As the result of
conference held at the foreign office in
London between Lord Salisbury, Sir Julian
Pauncefote and Ambassador Choate, the lat
ter acting under direct instructions from
Secretary Hay, it can now be predicted that
the joint high commission to adjust issues
between the United States and Canada will
be reassembled during the coming summer
or early fall.
This outcome is not yet positively assured,
but Mr.. Choate's report of the exchanges at
the foreign Office certainly conveys great en-
couragement to the officials here and war
rants the expectation that negotiations may
be again taken up with some prospect OF
reaching agreements between the two
branches of the commission
It can be stated that il the commission
rGconvenes it will only do so on a complete
abandonment of the old basis, which proved
TO be unsuitable 10 the erection OF com
plete agreement and our government will
have some sort of assurance in advance OF
the nature and degree of the concessions
that may be expected from the other side
the lack OF which, 1t is said, caused the
failure OF the first negotiations.
The negotiations have taken a new turn
by the suggestion that the American bound
airy question be submitted to arbitration
