GAGGED IN A BITTER FIGHT.

atOriaI Struggle-Quay still Thirteen
Votes SbOrt-McCumber Elected.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. 20-Both
Houses of the Legislature got down to bus
mess to-day for the first time after being in
session for the second week. The Republic
an Senate at last recognized the Demo-
cratic House. In the Senate, the Republic
ans introduced a resolution for the unseat-
ing Of Kidd, Dem, OF Gilmer, and for the
suspension of Ashby, DEM. of Kanawha,
pending investigation into the contest for
his seat. These resolutions will be acted on
tomorrow In retaliation the Democrats
in the House served notice OF contest upon
Spencer, Rep, of Rome. The Democrats in
the Senate introduced resolutions declaring
vacant the seats of Pierson, Of Clay, and
Getzendanner, of jefferson. alleging that by

army, they forfeited their right to their
seats
Whether Scott, the Republican caucus
nominee, McGraw, the Democratic candi-
date, is elected senator depends on the I'M
seating contests. AS the Legislature was
organized the Republicans had majority of
one on joint ballot.

conditions-first that the Liberal party be
reconstructed with his assistance and that of
his military and political friends and allies.
Senores Romero Robledo and Jose Canale-
JAS and second, that the liberal policy be
aimed chiefly at a prompt reorganization
of the army and navy, giving satisfaction
to the legitimate aspirations of both. he
sides being inspired by such democratic
principles as would win the support of mod
crate Republicans. He approves Senior
Sagasta's decision TO invite the Cortes to
discuss the peace treaty and the conduct Of
the war, but he is determined only TO join
Sagasta after the debates when a new Liber-
al party and Cabinet are formed He re-
CARDS the present Cabinet as utterly incap-
able of undertaking the regeneration of the
country and its defenses and considers that
the present Ministry cannot survive the be-
ginning of the coming session. The real
conservative party died. General Weyler
contends, with Senior CanoVas, and he de-
clares that he prefers the Carlists to the
modern Conservative party which is bound
to disappear from Spanish politics His
dictatorial pretensions are daily attracting
more attention and they remind Spaniards
of the era which the restoration was sup

aspirations of Congressman Frank New

for the reelection of Senator Stewart. A
counter-charge is made by the Stewart man

remain away from the caucus through i'm

Gen. Wood Returning to Cuba.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O-Major General
Wood called at the War Department to-day
to say farewell prior to his departure for
Cuba. The general goes to Miami, Fla, by
rail. He will go thence by boat to Havana
and have full conference with Major General
Brooke, in charge of the island of Cuba be-
fore proceeding to his post at Santiago. The
War Department expects to be able in the
course of a few days to promulgate the plan
II has formulated, after consultation with
General Wood, for the distribution of the
customs revenues of Cuba, a question which
is agitating the people of Santiago just now
rather unreasOnably. The plan will be fair
and just to all interests.

Eight Hours, Work.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 2.-The Post this
morning will say: Eight hours work for
one day shall be the rule
in the coal mines of Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois during the
next year, beginning April /, 1899. This was
agreed to after last midnight by the sub
scale committee of operators and miners
who are to dispose of the wage question for
the next year. The sessions of the commit
tee were secret and every member was put
under obligation not to give anything out
for publication. This conclusion was ar
rived al after the members of the committee
had receded from their position of demand
ing a reduction of ten cents in the rate of
mining. The arguments on both sides were
strong The miners members of the COM
mittee argued that the American Federation
of Labor, with which they are affiliated, are
at their backs and it would not do to recede
from the concession granted by the operat-
ors at Chicago one year ago.

A SEASIDE EXPERIENCE
Little Quiet Joke on the Family.

While we were at the seaside last summer,
I sprung a little experiment on my family.

all lacking in energy and go, and something
seemed wrong with them.
We had been using coffee every morning.
and it gradually dawned upon me that per-
haps this was the cause.
Without saying anything. bought pack
age of the Postum Food Coffee and having
been warned to look out and see that it was
properly made, l gave my own special at
tention to it. For about a week we used it
and not one of the family knew but what
they were drinking the best coffee. When
finally told them that it was Postum. my
husband laughed and said Let us continue
on the Postum. | have been feeling very
much better for the past week and didn't
exactly know why" Tie difference in the
whole family is very marked. and you can
imagine can recommend Postum with good
grace and much pleasure. Mrs. Alice L.

THE SUDAN CONVENTION
FRENCH COMMENT ON THE ANGLO

Chinese Revolt Spreading.

PARIS, Jan. 21.-The French papers this
morning comment though somewhat be-
latedly, upon the Anglo-Egyptian conven-
ton for the administration of the Sudan.
The Liberte is very angry, but the Journal
des Debats is less unfriendly. Since the
Fashoda incident the French press has IN
doubtedly displayed greater prudence, and
1t will probably wait until Monday, when in
the debate on the Foreign Ministry budget
In the Chamber of Deputies NJ Delcasse,
the foreign minister, is expected to make a
pronouncement on the subject. Several pa
pers refer to the fact that the Sutan's
suzerainty is ignored by the convention,
and rumor has it that NJ. Constans, who
was recently appointed ambassador at Con-
stantinople, has a mission to induce the
Sultan to join Russia and France, and also,
II possible, to influence Emperor William to
cooperate in reopening the Egyptian ques-
ton.
BERLIN, Jan. 20.-Emperor William to-
day had long conference with Baron Won
Bulow, the imperial foreign secretary, and
afterwards with Sir Frank LasceIles. the
British ambassador. It is assumed that
Egyptian and Samoan affairs were under
consideration. Judging from the tone of the
German press, France has little to hope for
regarding the Sudan convention in this di-
rection. The Berlin papers, satisfied that
Great Britain is adopting the "open door,
policy in the Sudan see therein prospective
advantages for German trade. The
Kolnische Zeitung, which is not usually
friendly to England. says the convention
constitutes formal proclamation Of a Brit
ish protectorate, and then proceeds to sug-
gest that British diplomacy has been occu-
pied in driving France into a corner with a
view of eXhausting her power of resistance.
The paper adds Germany has no cause
for Indignation inasmuch as England's res
olute colonial enterprise will open fresh and
extensive markets to German commerce, as
we'll as to English, no special privileges be-
