subsequently returned to join him in
the retirement from Fashoda, was

AGAINST AMERICAN MEAT.
German Reichstng May Adopt Rigid
Inspection LAW That VIII XIII
Our Trade.

Berlin, May 9.-It is authoritatively
stated that the committee of the reichs-
tag to which was referred the meat in
spection bill which was substantially
agreed upon between the imperial cab
met and the United States ambassador
here, Mr.. Andrew ID. White, has report
ed against the measure and in favor of a
bill so hostile to American interests
that the government will probably re-
fuse to sanction it.
The most unfortunate circumstance
as asregards sAmerican ninterestsin the mat
ter of the meat inspection bill was the
fact that there were insistent declara-
tions in the United States that en-
balmed and poisonous meats had been
supplied to the troops in Cuba. Repre-
sentatives of the German land-owning
interests loudly declared that if the
Americans sent poisonous meats to
their own soldiers they would certainly
send it to the Germans.
A bad result is that the bill, as re-
ported back, provides for examination
and inspection of American meats inn
possible to enforce without utterly de-
stroying American trade with Germany.
The bill, as remodeled by the reich
stag committee, also proposes to ex-
clude from importation hams, hard and
soft sausages and chopped meats, ana
prescribes that fresh meats must come
in whole carcasses or continuous parts.
The United States embassy and the
| German government still hope that the
better counsels will prevail when the
bill comes up for discussion in the
open reichstag on its second reading,
| though the chances for the enactment
of the government measure are very
slim.
| Causes Grave Apprehe ensiOn.
Washington, May 9.-The Berlin ca
BILE indicating the failure of the pro-
posed legislation for the abatement of
the restrictions upon the importation
into Germany of American meat prod
ucts was received here with grave app
prehension. 1t is beginning to sug
gest itself to the officials that how
ever well disposed towards fair treat
ment of American meats, the German
government may be unable to COM
mand the necessary strength in the
reichstag to correct the discrimina-
tions from which our meats have suf-
fered so long. The results of the fail
ure of the meat bill are likely to be
much broader than are commonly sup
posed, for it may be stated that our
government regards the projected re-
lief of our meat from oppressive dis
elimination as an absolute essential tb
the negotiation of anS sort of recipro-
cal arrangement, either under the
terms of the Dingley act or under the
general authorization to make trade
treaties. Therefore, it is expected that
the negotiations which have pro-
gressed off and on during the past few
months, looking to the making of a
reciprocity arrangement, will be prac-
tically suspended pending favorable
action by the German government on
, the meat inspection bill.

Junior Officers to be Chosen Tonight

Officers Elected for the Moot Court
Junior Officers to be Chosen Tonight.
The University law class has held
meeting and elected the officers for
the moot courts for the coming year.
The officers were elected without
friction of any kind and the meeting
was a very harmonious one. The
officers elected will have charge dur
ing this school year. They are as
follows:
Circuit Court: G. A. Wolf, sher-
iff; Jno. Goodman, Deputy sheriff;
w. j. Snee, clerk; J. w. Easley, dep
uty clerk; G. n. Smith, L. M.

Supreme Court: II. O. Davis,
clerk; Fl. L. Hammond, deputy
clerk; E. S. Barnett, crier; w. B.
Trippett, deputy crier, II. g. Flour
noy, reporter.
Sometime during the year there
will be public trial as has been the
custom for several years past and
the young disciples of Blackstone
have given some very interesting af-
fairs of this kind. The class is in
fine shape and will do equally well
this year.
The Junior law class will meet to-
night to settle the matter of their
officers over which they deadlocked
the last time they came together
They are in hopes of being able to
elect some one this time without
much trouble. The candidates are

have agreed to remain at the
meeting until the election takes
place. There will be some spectators
out to see the fun.

The Fifth Year of ''Harper's Magazine

With the December number HARP
ER's MAGAZINE begins its hundfedth
volume, and enters upon the last six
months Of it's fiftieth year. Half a
century ago HARPER's MAGAZINE, as
the announcement of the four Harper
Brothers reads, twas projected and
commenced in the belief that it might
be made the means of bringing within
the reach of the great mass OF the
American people an immense amount
of useful and entertaining reading
matter, to which, on account Of the
great number and expense of the books
and periodicals in which it originally
appears, they have hitherto had no
access" The original plan of the
publishers then was to make the new
periodical simply literary digest, and
for the first six months it's pages were
filled entirely with matter reprinted
from English magazines and from cur
rent books. The success Of the Mag
azine so surpassed the expectations OF
the publishers, that at the beginning
Of the second volume they felt them
selves in position to institute new
feature. During the second year, in
each number appeared at least one
original article. This innovation
proved so acceptable to the Magazines
readers that it was continued and
developed, and in a few years the per-
iodical consisted entirely of original
matter Half a century makes vast
difference both in magazines and the
tastes they supply-a difference which
could only be understood by compar-
ison of the first number OF HARPER's
with the elaborate Christmas number
which has Just been received, and
which, as has been said, opens the
hundredth volume. This Christmas
number, by-the-way, ought to be re-
membered for long time, il for only
one thing, that is Mark Twain's short
story, 1no 1.an chat Corrupted Had
leyburg." The majority Of readers
will probably consider this the best
tale Mark Twain has ever written; in
any case, whoever fails to read 1.-The
Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg" will
have missed one Of the things that
make life worth living.

Little Damage Bone.
The third fire has taken place and
we may now settle down for some
time without fear of hearing the fire
alarm. Usually after fire everyone
Is on tip toe for the other alarms
that are given for the other two that
are sure to follow according to the
old belief about things of this kind.
The first one was in Pickenpaugh's
store, the second in the New England
Bakery and the third one in the Seneca
Glass factory. Tt took place on Mon
DAY afternoon about three thirty, but
little damage was done. The fire
however might have proved a serious
one but for the prompt action of the
force of fire fighters at the factory.
The fire started from a gas plug in
the boiler room which blew out. The
threads of the plug had become rusted
and the plug suddenly blew out The
gas was ignited and a terrific explo-
sion followed William Reeves was
standing in line of the escaping gas
and he was badly burned Tut not Sc
riously.
The fire caught the roof under the
tin aud the whole room started to
blazing The flames reached into a
ventilator over the engine and this
took tire. The alarm was given in
the factory and a still alarm was turn
ed in for the members of the town
fire fighters.
Two lines of hose were soon at
tached and these together with a chem
ical fire extinguisher were soon play
ing on the fire with the result that it
stood up to the assaults for short
time only. The town firemen did
not have time to get there at all.
The gas which had been turned off
the boilers was then turned on again
and the factory went right on.
Reeves was removed to his home near
by and given the needed attention on
account of his burns about the face
and hands.
me plug which blew out was to
have been taken out on Monday night
and pipe attached to stove. The
stove and pipe were in position but
they had not yet been attach ed.

WEST VIRGINIA
CONGRESSMAN
Judge Johnston, Democrat, is
the First TO Arrive

In WaShingt0n-The Course he will
Pursue During the Coming Session.
Has Taken No Sides-Dayton, Dove
nor and Freer Expected SOON Dayton
VIII Remain on old Committees.
WASHINGTON, D. G. November %.
Judge ID. e. Johnston. of Bluefield,
Democratic Representative from the
third district, is the first West Vlr-
ginia Congressman to take up his res
idence in Washington for the ap-
preaching session. Judge Johnston
has established himself in modest
rooms at No. Is Third street, north
east, three squares from the Capitol
and two squares from the magnificent
new Library of Congress. He has not
brought his family with him, but ex-
poets to do SO in January. Judge
Johnston is man in the prime OF
life and promises to become one OF the
most useful, as he is one of the ablest
of the West Virginia delegation. A
successful lawyer, though not actively
in politics, he was nominated by ac-
clamation, and succeeded in carrying
by plurality of over 700 district
heretofore Republican by several
thousand. He served term in the
State Senate and term as circuit
judge, and presided over the Stste con-
vention which nominated Watts for
Governor.
Judge Johnston declines at present
to discuss pending questions, prefer
ring to await opportunity for fuller
study and for the development of the
Democratic policy in Congress. He
has not taken sides in the controversy
over the so-called minority leadership
having as yet no opportunity to make
the acquaintance of the contestants
or to weigh their respective claims.
Nor has he offered any suggestion to
the coming Speaker, Mr.. Henderson,
as to his preference as to committee
place. His predecessor, Mr.. Dorr,
was given positions on the committees
on Public Buildings and Grounds and
on Enrolled Bills.
Capt. Doyener, who will resume his
old quarters at the Willard on Friday
or Saturday Of this week, expects TO
be again placed on the important
committee on Rivers and Harbors,
where he will be able to be of service
to the interests of the state. This is
the only committee to which Capt.
Dovener was assigned in the last
| Congress, and it is the one which,
naturally, he prefers. He will I'M
doubtedly get it, although Mr. Hen
derson has made no promise to that
! effect.
Congressman Dayton will probably
retain his old committee places, where
he saw active service during the last
session. He was member of the
committees on Naval Affairs and Re-
vision of the Laws. The first named,
in the present juncture, is one of the
most important in the whole list.
Judge Freers predecessor was a
member of the Judiciary and Military
committees. 1t is possible that he
may fall heir to these assignments,
but so far as known has expressed no
preference.

Closed up.
Monongalia has had another inn
mense coal deal made within her Dor
ders. This time Grant District is
the lucky part of the county. From
twelve to fifteen thousand acres of
the coal lands in that part of the
county have been sold.

cally all of the coal of Grant district.
The same people who have made
the other sales in this county are at

and will develop the land that they
are getting.
The county has been the scene of
some very large transactions in coal
but this is the largest one that has
taken place up to this time. Further
details will be given out later and
