COMPLETE AUTONOMY

To Be Accorded to the Province of Santi-
aso-A Negro Soldier Thief Shot.
Santiago, January lei Porvenie
publishes an extra to-day giving cable
message from Dr. Joaquin Castillo, now
in Washington with Gen. Wood, in the
interest of the Santiago board of trade.
DR.. Castillo says that complete auton-
omy will be granted to the province.
The whole city is talking tonight of a
demonstration to celebrate the pros
pect.
A negro private of the Twenty-third
Kansas regiment broke into store OPP
posite the police headquarters and stole
a diamond ring. The police were call
ed and the man was shot, though not
seriously injured The local press is
making the most of this situation, con-
tending that it is only another incident
in the bad history of the negro regi-
ment. The sentiment of the Ameri-
cans. however is that it would be I'M
lust to blame the race for the act of
one man.
Charges of a very serious character
have been brought against an officer
of the Third Immune Regiment in the
Guantanamo district. More than a
thousand dollars is involved. The Off
Ger is under arrest.

A Blind School Principal and an Assistant
Thump James Wirgman
Special to the Register.
Romney, w. Va, January Thames
Wirgman, editor Of the Romney Times,
is a sorer and a wiser man. Originally,
J. T. Rucker, principal of the Deaf and
Blind School, was the only one who
was sore He was sore because of a
certain publication in the Times.
1t seems that there has been a breath
of scandal in the State institution
here. Whether there was reason for it
has not been determined. Wirgman
made light reference to 1t in the Times,
in the shape of a fable of the king
and his steward, whose love affairs
were so numerous and so conflicting
that there was not room for both in
the kingdom.
The fable reused the ire and
scratched the sore spot Of Rucker, and
taking an assistant from the school to
hold Wirgman while he (Rucker)
thunped him, went to the Office of the
Times and carried out the plan.
Wirgman's sore spots are healing,
but as much cannot be said OF Rucker' 3
ailments.

Harrisburg, Pa, January 15.-Capt
A. Wilson Norris, of Harrisburg, as
sistant adjutant general on the staff OF
Gen. J. P. s. Goblin, commander of the
Third brigade of the First division OF
the Second army corps, stationed al
Augusta, Ca, died suddenly this even
ing at the Harrisburg Club. Captain
Norris came home last night on fur
Tough to attend the inaugural cere
monies and was apparently in good
health until o'clock this afternoon,
when he was taken sick while convers-
ing with friends. He was a nephew Of
the late Auditor General Wilson Nor
ris, was a vice president Of the State
League of Republican Clubs and one
of the best known and most popular
young men in the community. He
gave up the practice of law at the
breaking out of the war with Spain to
become adjutant of the Eighth regi-
ment, Pennsylvania volunteers, and
subsequently appointed to captain and
assigned to Gen. Gobin's staff.

In consequence Dorr and his friends

and will support no man who wears Ell
klns's collar. The Senator, himself,
now realizes his mistake and fears
to openly back Scott for the Senator
ship.
There have been rumors afloat here,
moreover. that Elkins would secretly
rejoice to see both Scott and Atkinson
defeat one another for the coveted
place and that he would like TO step
in when a Republican majority is as
sured and the leading candidates have
worn themselves out, and by means
of a combination with certain Demo-
Gratis in the Legislature, name and

he would be able to control in the
Senate on certain important principles
of the Democratic policy. How much
truth there is in this it would be hard
to state at present; but there is no
move made on the checker-board in
Charleston of which Elkins is not kept
closely informed, and. as has been
stated before, he is lying low and
watching developments.
Democrats here take a most cheerful
view of the situation. 1t is judged
from Geographic dispatches that Hon.
John T. McGraw will undoubtedly be
the caucus nominee, and as he is per-
sonally known to all of the great lead
ers of the party here, they are mostly
open in expressing their hope of his
election. They have great confidence
in his loyalty and integrity and in his
ability to conduct the fight, and, as one
of the Democratic representatives who
is a great admirer of the young West
Virginian, expresses himself, they feel
that ''if any man can win by pluck,
ability and hard fighting, it will be
John McGraw."
Mr.. Bailey, of Texas, was asked to
express his opinion on the situation in
West Virginia, especially as regards
the validity of the claims of
GETZENDANNERA AND PIERSON
to seats in the Senate.
81 would rather not talk on the situa-
ton in West Virginia" said he, but
you can state my belief that when the
i Strls ofo ~
mittee against members holding their
seats in the House of Representatives,
who have accepted commissions in the
army, comes to a vote in the House
not single member Of Congress,
Democrat or Republican, will vote in
favor of their being allowed to be
seated or of their having any claim
on a seat after accepting a commits
sion in the army"
who will be the nominee of the
party in West Virginia." asked Mr..
Bailey of the representative of the Reg
lister.
He was told that the present indi-
cations were that McGraw would have
the undivided support of the party.
II know McGraw well" said he,
'and admire his course in West Eir-
ginia, and 1 hope he will. Well, l
would rather not express myself as it
would seem that l was taking part in
the candidacy of some particular Dem
ocrat."

lighted beyond expression. When DIR.

and the extra chairs in the lower aisles
were as eagerly taken.
People stood five and six deep in the
rear aisles and there was a line of
listeners standing along the walls OF
the spacious side aisles. 1t was prob
ably the largest attendance since the
Beecher period.
DIR. Hills occupied a seat on the
platform to the right of DR.. Abbott, and
Rev. DR.. Henry M. Field was on the
latter's left.
DR.. Hills was listened to intently.
He seemed perfectly at ease and spoke
so distinctly that every person in the
church heard him. His theme was,

Bicycle Races Tomorrow. at Calder's
Will Bring Out All the Fast Men.

The arrangements for the track races
tomorrow are all completed, and from
indications there will be a record
breaking crowd. The men are all in
better condition than they were Decor
alton day, and the fact that Sharman,
who is probably the speediest rider in
Salt Lake, will ride gives added interest
to the events. Sharman was i'll the
30th ult., but has recovered, and while
not up to his best form, is riding well.
Gum has improved wonderfully, and
those who We're at the track last Thurs
day night say that Gum rode an I'M
paced mile in training in PIG. This is
twenty seconds better than he was able
to do two weeks ago.
Charlie Brazier rides his first race of
the season tomorrow afternoon, al
though he competed in last seasons
races.
The Terrible Swede'' keeps up his
long distance work, and is riding in his
usual tireless way, cutting off mile
after mile in time that is almost phe-
