Clerk O'Brien answered the ques-
ton. He stated that the City Solicitor
had given the opinion when called
upon to do SO in the matter of the
proposed abolition of the city crem-
atory, that Council could for sufficient
cause abolish any municipal Office.
The suggestion was made that the
workhouse officials might be employ
ed as extra police, as that department
has demanded more men.
The discussion throughout was in
formal, and was marked by the best of
feeling 1t all ended in the adoption
of motion to submit to the Finance
Committee, with the request that it
investigate and report its conclusions
upon the three propositions, namely:
the original proposition by Mayor
Sweeney, to convert the old water
works pumping station into a work
house; to sell the water works sta
ton; to accept Sheriff Richards offer
for the maintenance of the city pris-
oners in the county jail .o

caring for prisoners. Mr.. Richards re-
piled that there are four tiers of cells,
and not two of them are fully occupied.
Of the 100 cells in the institution, 70
are unoccupied.
Mr.. PAUL stated that to his mind,
the question was settled, in so far as
finances are concerned, in favor of
the county Jail. The Mayor was asked
if he had anything further to say Cd
the subject, and replied in the mega
tive.
Gen. Caldwell again called the at
tention of the Committee to the deter
mination on the part Of citizens living
on North Main street, to remove east
Of the city along the National road,
and he called attention to the fact that
the present tendency is already in that
direction. The Jail, he said, belongs
10 the city, and there is ample room
within its walls to care for the city
prisoners. He deemed it unWise, I'M

er building for that purpose. From an
economic standpoint, no citizen would
favor it. With reference to employ
ment of the prisoners, he directed at
tention to the fact that any work which
the prisoners might be required to per-
form, would enter into competition

for dollar a ton, for use in the con-
struction of the Moundsville and Ben
wood electric railway.
Mr. Stifel stated that he had ascer-
tanned from citizens living south of
the creek that they opposed the work
house plan. Mr.. Chew stated that he
was opposed to a workhouse within
the city limits.
Sheriff Richards was invited in. The
Sheriff stated that he had no reason
to change his mind with regard to the
proposition he made for caring for the
city prisoners in the county Jail. He
said the workhouse cost the city an
nually $4,000. He would be willing to
make the maximum cost to the city
$500 less, which would mean a saving
of at least that much annually. He
felt entirely safe in making the offer,
inasmuch as all the prisoners kept in
the county Jail cost him but $500
year.
Sheriff Richards was inclined to the
opinion that solitary confinement in
Jail would lessen the number of petty
Offenses. One class of criminals is
pleased with the kind of treatment
and association, which are provided
in the present worbhouse. They have
a system of communicating with each
other on the highways and byways,
and as a direct result the Wheeling
workhouse has no terrors for the
tramp. The prisoners who are cared
for there are principally first Offend
ers, and Jail sentences would be more
effective as remedial measure The
Sheriff thought his proposition GER
tainly worthy trial
WORKHOUSE CRIMINALS.
He divided the workhouse criminals
into three clases-the local do-nothing,
worthless fellows. common DRINKS.
ETC.; Migrants, who go sweeping over
the country with news of the institu-
ton; and vicious criminals, who are
treated on the same footing as the
others, and whose association with
them has pernicious influence. He
was confident of the success of the
plan which he proposed

John Walton Smith. Senator German is
quoted as saying to a friend last evening
that q sufficient number of anti-Bryan
delegates would be sent to the next ma
tional convention to prevent the Nebraska
leader from obtaining the two-thirds
vote necessary. Senator German and
Governor-elect Smith have been in close
conference concerning the policies Mary
land may develop during the next six
months. Among those at the Waldorf
Astoria hotel was Buchan Schley, cousin
of Admiral Schley, and surveyor of the
port of Baltimore under the last Cleve-
land administration. Mr. Schley is a
close friend OF Senator German, and his
presence started the rumor that Eastern
Democrats would unite in presenting the
name of Admiral Schley in the next con-
vention. 1t is said, however, that Ad-
miral Schley has announced that he
would have nothing to do with the plan,
and would not accept the presidency as a
gift. If Senator Germans plans reach
their full fruition Maryland will ho,d a
very early state convention, at which a
delegation to the national convention will
be named which will be solidly and OPEN
ly opposed to Bryan.
Other Eastern states and some Southern
states are expected to follow Maryland's
example. No candidate has been settled
upon, it is said, with whom to oppose
Bryan.

WASHINGTON, Nov 23.-The threat
ened uprising of Sac and Fox Indians in
Iowa on account of forcfble detention of
an Indian pupil, married woman, at the
government school, has MT yet been Of
ficially reported to the interior depart
ment. While the authorities do not at
tempt to sustain the action of the agent
in OBTAINING a married woman pupil, the
government claims the right, once pupils
are enrolled in government school, to
compel them by force or otherwise to at
tend The Sac and Fox Indians have long
opposed this policy, and the matter has
given rise to considerable correspondence
between the department and agency Of
ficials. Some months ago Pomeschick,
the Sac and Fox chief, came to Washing
ton to enter protest, but finally condition
ally consented TO cooperate with this
policy and promised to send his own chill
dren to school. Mr.. Wilcox. mentioned in
the press dispatches as seeking a habeas
corpus for the detained pupil, is regarded
here as a disturbing element.

cratic senators toward legislation this
winter" he was asked.
Democratic, speaking generally" was
the senator's reply. I don't pretend to
speak for anybody but myself, when I
talk about any particular measures. I
believe in resisting to the utmost the
proposed gold standard legislation, the
abolition Of greenbacks and the extern
sion Of privileges to naionaf banks. The
Hawaiian islands are now part of our
domain by annexation, and the people
there should be admitted to all the priv
ileges Of government that are accorded
to residents of the United States.
PHILIPPINE QUESTION.
'If We are to regard ourselves as
Christian gentlemen, standing by the
Declaration of Independence, I do not see
how we are to force upon the Cubans
or Filipinos any form Of government
without the full consent of the governed.
1t seems to me out of the question to
ever make a state out of the Philippine
islands. We are already pledged to give
the Cubans Independent self-governmeat
1 haven't the least doubt in the world
that If it had been known we were 60
10 acquire lne ullIpplHeS through
our war with Spain the words and the
Philippines would have been inserted in
the pledge for independence to the Gu
bans"
FUTURE OF CUBA
Would you support any immediate leg
islation looking toward a change in the
government in Cuba?"
IF progress is being made in Cuba
toward an independent government for
the Cubans, in good faith, 1 would not
hurry unnecessarily about its establish
ment. If there is not good faith in the
steps that are being taken 1 should
be in favor of shaking things up 1t
makes no difference to me if 80 per cent
of the Cubans are In favor of annexa-
tion and should express it by their vote
I regard it as all-important for us to
entirely withdraw from that island and
leave the Cubans free to act for them
selves"
Senator Jones asked with considerable
concern about the developments in the
Apart from personal considerations, he
said he should regard 1t as a very grave
error for the senate to allow Mr.. Quay
to retain his seat.

this" said Senator Jones, that a reverse
vote now would give the country at
large the idea that the senate was play

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2S.-James Nc
Names, who for many years has beon a
Republican leader of this city, died today
in his seventy-eighth year. Mr. McManes
was delegate to the Republican nation
al convention which nominated Lincoln,
and also to the one which selected Gar
field. At the latter he was one of the
trainers of the manifesto in opposition to

John Hopkins, had committed suicide
With the affairs Of the bank in a very
involved condition; and owing consider
able money, Mr.. McManes, then feeble
and. as many believed, near deaths door,
took from his private fortune over $780,
OO0 and reimbursed depositors and other
creditors, and closed the banks doors for
ever, without its owing dollar.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-11-24

the considerations which he brought out
to support his argument were these facts:
First, that the postal service is in
way solvent; that it ought to have prece-
dence In movement over everything else;
second, that the character of the railway
is quasi-public. The railways, he main
tanned. were public utilities, inasmuch as
they may be controlled by legislative ac
ton in fixing rates. The question to be
considered IS whether to class mails as
freight, express or passengers.

ment In Their interest.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The Spanish
minister, the Duke d'Arcos, called at the
state department today to learn the pros
poets for the release of the Spanish pris-
oners held in the Philippines. Thus far
nothing has been heard as to the meas
ure of success attending the dispatch
or message from President Mckinley
to Aguinaldo, concerning the Spanish
captives, but it is assumed in the recent
forward movement of the American
troops and the scattering Of the Filipinos
that some difficulty has been experienced
by Gen. Macarthur in delivering the
message The American advance has re-
suited in freeing scattered bands, about
sixty to eighty in all, and besides these
2O0 sick prisoners are about to be re-
leased and put aboard an American ship
now on the way north to receive them
There remain about 1000 or 5000 Spanish

magnate, of this city The idea of a girl
college is said to be an old one of Mr..

Of such project for several years. 1t
is pointed out that girl orphans have
no such advantages as are enjoyed by

chance to supply this badly needed insti-
tuition that Mr. Elkins has embraced.
