J. w. WILEs has returned from
Chicago where he went a week ago to
confer with big land syndicate who
rendered him the position of general
manager of their business. The COM
pany is composed of a number of
Chicago bankers who have superb
bundance of capital and who were
looking for capable, active, shrewd
and vigorous young man to manage
the enterprise. They selected Mr..
Wiles and have made contract with
him at handsome salary. We are
pleased to assure our readers however
that he will not be lost to Morgan
town as his time will be about equally
divided between the two places. In
a conversation with Mr.. Wiles in ref
erance to his departure he assured us
that his interests here would not be
neglected in any particular and that
his big enterprise in North Morgan
town would be pushed harder than
ever. We are glad to know he will
not leave here as it would be out Of
the question TO fill his place.

PROTZMAN,

THE piece of roadway from the
bridge to Front street was paved on
Saturday night and Sunday morning
During this time the road was closed
to traffic but the delay was made the
smallest possible. The road was
open to travel early Sunday morning
and is all right now. 1t was done at
the expense of both the county and
the town and IS a very great improve
ment over the old roadway although
this was one of the best pieces in
town being well macadamized.

THERE is absolutely no foundation for
the rumor that it is the intention of the
new Secretary of War to send 10000
men, or any other large number of troops
to the Philippines in addition to those
now being mustered for service on the
islands. Whatever may be the desire of
Secretary Root in the matter. his power
to act is limited by the enormity OF the
problem of transportation. Although
we have now well equipped army trans
port service of seventeen fast steamers,
it will take until the middle of November
or the beginning of December to carry
the troops now under orders or preparing
to go to Manila. 1t would take six
months longer to transport an additional
army of 90. 900 to the Philippines in the
troop ships we have; and other vessels
are not available.

THE reopening OF communication with
Norfolk, Old Point Comfort and New
port News and the lifting OF the quaran-
tine which had been proclaimed against
those places give gratifying assurance
of the fact that the epidemic of yellow
lever which broke out in the Soldiers
Home at the Point has been conquered.
and that no fears of the spread of the
disease need be entertained. The con-
finement of the disease to the place
where it FIRST appeared testifes to the
skill and effectiveness of the Marine
Hospital Service as guardian of public
health.

TWENTY-FIVE Japanese ports, hereto
fore closed. were declared open to for
eign commerce by an Imperial ordinance
on July IL last, in conformity with the
conditions of the new treaties granting
foreigners the right to visit and reside in
any part of the Empire. The proviso
contained in the ordinance that any port
thus opened shall be closed again if its
total imports and exports shall fall short
of the value of $4,000 yen per annum
was probably adopted from motives of
economy. No Government is obliged to
put itself to the expense of maintaining
a staff of officers for the entry and clear
ance of cargoes at points where the trade
does not warrant the outlay.
