A later phase of the situation is pre-
scented in the following special tele-
gram received from Charleston to-
night:
CHARLESTON, w. Va, November
27.-John A. Marcum, Of Huntington.
who assisted the prosecuting attorney
on the Elias Hatfield trial, was In
Charleston to-day. He says VIM. II.
Thompson went to Hamlin, Lincoln
county, to-day, and secured from Judge
Doolfttle an alternative writ Of man
damus to be served on Warden Hawk,
of the penitentiary, to appear before his
court and show cause why he should
not admit Elias Hatfield to the peniten-
tiary.
Marcum says Judge Doolittle has not
made any new order in regard to Hat
field. He sentenced him at the la t
term OF the Mingo circuit court to serve
twelve years in the peniten/-ry, and
granted an arrest of judgment for
sixty days. At the expiration OF the
sixty days the sheriff was bound to
take the prisoner to the penftentfary
without any further order from this
court. He says the Governor cannot
reprieve convict in a case of this
kind. He can only reprieye man un-
der the sentence OF death.
He intimated that the Governor
might be impeached for interfering with
the circuit court and for assuming ju-
dicial powers, when the law gives him
only executive powers.
On the other hand the attorneys foe
Hatfield talk of instituting suit for
damages against Judge Doolittle and to
try to have Acting Sheriff Peck remov-
ed from Office for disregarding the or
der Of the Governor.
Governor Atkinson says he has No
zeal in the matter, and does not care
particularly what becomes OF the pris-
oner. He did what he thought was his
duty to do, and what in his opinion
the law clearly gives him power TO do.
Marcum says that he Is fnformea
that Governor Atkinson wired Warden
Hawk. OF the penitentiary, not to re-
ceive Hatfield, and threatened to re-
move Hawk from office II he did not do
as he directed him. The Governor told
the Register tonight that was not true

Special to the Register.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, November
27.-The disagreement between Cover
nor Atkinson and Judge Doolittle, over
the Elias Hatfield matter, may lead to
serious complications. The lawyers
here say that Judge Doolittle has not
only made himself liable to suit for
damages, but also to impeachment II
seems that in ordering the acting sheriff
of Mingo county to take Hatfield TO the
peaitentiary, he acted without author
ity. The judge having adjourned his
court, he has no authority to make any
such order as he has made. The cos
stitution authorizes judge to do GER
tain things in vacation, specifically en-
umerated. but beyond that he dare not
go.
Governor Atkinson granted Elias
Hatfield reprieve for thirty days from
the time the stay OF execution of sixty
days granted by the court, expired.
The Governor holds that his authority
is supreme to pardon or to grant a re-
prieve. In this case he granted re-
prieve, which must be respected by
every officer of the State. This the
judge of the Mingo county circuit court
was bound by law to do, while his
court was in session, but his order to
acting sheriff Peck during the vacation
of the court was, according to the law
yers here, especially without authority.
There is said to be very bitter feel
ing among the people of Mingo county
over the shooting of Doc Ellis by Elias
Hatfield, and now that Governor At
kinson and Judge Doolittle have
brought on new conflict 1t is likely to
fan the flames of strife among those
people and make it still more difficult
to reconcile them.

OMAN's SULTAN CAME TO TINE.
Threatened BOmbardment Made Him
Cancel French Treaty.

Bombay, Feb. 2S-Important details re-
garding the action of the British authori-
ties at Muscat, the capital of the sultan
ate of Oman, have just become public.
1t appears that the news of the lease
by the Sultan of Oman of coalng sta
tion to France, on the coast of Oman
leaked out while the British political
agent at Muscat Maj. Eagan, was alb
sent He promptly returned to his post.
but the Sultan refused to furnish him
with any information.
The commander of the gunbo4t Sphinx
thereupon dispatched a Lieutenant and
armed party to the Bandar-Jiosih. But
the Sultan, hoping to receive aid from the
French continued TO be recalcitrant. Tne
arrival of the second-class cruiser Eclipse,
flagship of the East Indies station, with
Rear Admiral E. c. Drummond on board,
threw the Sultan's subjects into panic,
though the Sultan himself remained OBJ
durate
During the morning of Feb. 16, Admiral
Drummond sent word ashore that unless
the Sultan attended a conference on boar q
the Eclipse at 2 o'clock that afternoon he
would lombard the forts at 2:2O o'clock
d. m.
Notice of the admiraPs intention was
sent to the foreign consus and the town
was speedily Ii COnluSlOH 1ile INASOi ,
of the Sultan entreatd him to submit and
the Eclipse took up a position broadside
to the town, while the other British ships
cleared for action. The Sultan thereupon
posted notification at the custom house
and on the gates of the town that the
agreement with the French was cancelled.
= At noon the Sultan sent his brother on
board the Eclipse, but the British admiral
refused to receive him.
Just before o'clock the Sultan of Oman
almost unattended, arrived on board the
flagship and remained there for three
hours, while the whole population lined
the beach and anxiously awaited the out
come.
The Sultan, it appears, completely ac-
guessed iE the British demands and hand
ed over to Admiral Drummond the treaty
with France. On the following day the ad-
miral went to the palace. where a great
drubar was held and the Sultan publicly
repudiated his agreement with France.

features of this really street opera. The
dignitaries of the department of public

THERE WILL he A COMPROMISE.
Administration VIII he Given All
the Men Now Needed.


Washington, Feb 23-That there is to be
an adjustment of the differences Of the
army reorganization bill in the Senate Is
the general understanding among SEN
ators tonight. Few. however. win at
tempt to give details. II, indeed. these have
been arranged.
The Democratic senators have contended
for little more than the fixing OF "a time
limit for the continuance OF the existence
of the enlarged army, being willing, as
they say, TO give the administration all
the men and all the money necessary 10
It's purposes for the present. Accordingly,
the time for the continuance Of the In
crease has been fixed at July !. 1901.
There Is mutual understanding that
the new army shall not number to ex-
ceed 81 600 men, as provided In the Cock
rell bill, and that the staff provisions OF
the Hull-Hawley bin shall be retained in
substantially the same form as reported
from the military COMMITTEES. OF the
troops authorized. 5000 are 10 be raised
subject to the discretion of the President,
and may be natives of the new possess
sions or otherwise, as he may determine,
The committee on military affairs has
been called. to meet tomorrow, and the
presumption is that the new bill Will re-
ceive attention al this meeting. The pro-
gramme Is to continue the truce to-mor-
row and not to attempt to take up the
army bill in the Senate before Saturday.
1t Is hoped that the new measure may
then be reported and passed-not without
explanation and debate, but after only
reasonable delay.
The present understanding Is that the
bill shall be a new measure, not a subst-
tute for the Hull bill. To make IL a sub
stitute would leave the matter open to
conference committee, and the Democrats
are not willing to take their chances in
conference. Hence, after the bill shall
have passed the Senate, It will have to
20 to the House and be acted upon as IL
no army bill had passed that body.
