A Trip to Europe.

At the late meeting OF the National
Editorial Association, held in Denver,
Col, it was decided to arrange for a
trip of the n. f. A. to Europe the
coming summer as it was thought best
to go during the summer of 1899,
rather than undertake the trip in
1900, when the steamships would be
overloaded and hotels all crowded on
the other side The trip will cost
$3.50, which includes all necessary ex-
penses from the time OF leaving New
York until returning, including the
S. government fee for each passenger.
1t takes in even more than the ordi-
nary $3.50 trip. and takes the party
through Switzerland, Holland, Ger
many, France and England 1t is
contemplated to start May 81. All
persons engaged in newspaper work
and members of their families are eli
gible to make this trip, and it is an
ticipated that the press of the various
foreign countries will accord a hearty
greeting to the newspaper people OF
America. For full information and
further particulars Of any kind address

of the National Editorial Association

The state legislature should provide
literally for the state university.
The institution has made rapid strides
in the last few years and a high stand
ard has been set by President Ray
mond and his assistants. The atten-
dance has been increased many fold
and new and more advanced courses
Of instruction have constantly been
added. The great progress made and
the thorough instruction given have
attracted the attention and favorable
comment Of other states and many
young men and women without our
borders are now preparing for their
life's work at Morgantown. 1t has
become powerful factor in the edu-
cational life OF this section of the
country and to-day every citizen Of the
state is proud Of the institution. 1t
is the legislatures duty to see that
this good work is continued and the
means supplied whereby it may be
still further advanced. There should
be no cheese pairing in dealing with a

fair for big railroad development in
the near future. The prospects are
bright for three enterprises that are
now already under way, and with
lots ofpreliminary work done. John
Slinev has been surveying across
the Reno coal fields from Cecil, in
Taylor county, on the line of the B.
q o., and has about decided to tap
the b. d 0. at Rowleshurg, cutting
clear through the largest district in
the county. Then the Pittsburg
capitalists, headed by J. M Guffey,
are pushing their right of way up
Cheat from Point Marion to Rewles
burg, and the survey has already
been made. Then, again, the new
company organized to push the road
from Kingwood to Morgantown,
seem to be in earnest and want to
get good start on it this year.

and James Bennett.

WESTON, w. Va, March :. "A
most shocking tragedy occurred seven
miles from Weston at Ten o'clock to-
day, wherein j. G. Rexroad, A. g.
Simmons and James Bennett used
deadly weapons. For some years a
feud has existed among the families
of Rexroad ond Simmons, many quar-
rels and lawsuits being participated
in. the last of which was over line
fence. 1t appears that some Of the
rails of this particular fence were
blown off and hurled upon the Rex
road side. Yesterday Mr.. Clark Sim
mons, accompanied by James Bennett
went to get the rails. They were
met by Mr.. j. G. Rexroad Some
warm words and threats We're exehang-
ed. This morning Mr. Simmons and
Bennett again went 10 the scene aad
were again met by Rexroad, who had
shot gun. When within range of
ten feet all parties fired, Rexroad u.s.
ing his shot gun and Simmons and
Bennett using reyolvers. Rexroad's
shot went wild. Both the balls from
the reyolvers took effect upon Rex

Us Now on Trial.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Mar "A
special Grand Jury was called to-day
by Judge Jackson, of the Criminal
court, in the case of the negro, Wade
Grant, who only escaped lynching
through the personal appeal of the
judge and other prominent citizens.
The court house this afternoon was
literally packed with people, many of
whom were probably in the big crowd
which attempted to break open the
jasl to get at the negro. Three indict-
ments for criminal assault were found
against Grant in less than an hour,
and he is being tried on one of them.

S0ME CHANGES.
License to BE Paid by all Forgein Hun
ters--Other Changes la the Game
Law.

Law.
The last legislature passed some
game law regulations that were very
much needed and that will aid a
great deal in the preservation Of the
game of the state. They made the
hunting season for quail six weeks
instead Of fifty days as at present A.
provision was inserted that will do
much to discourage foreign hunters
from coming into the state.
Eeac. foreigner will have to pay
a license tax Of twenty-five dollars
for the privilege OF hunting each
year. No one is to kill more than
twelve quail in one day and the
fines are heavier all along the line
for violation ofthe law. tits thought
that these regulations will aid in
prevention Of the utter extinction
of the chief game bird of the state.
Local sportsmen are very glad that
they have been passed and will see
to it that they are strictly enforced.

VERY FORCEFUL DOCUMENT.
Hon. John T. McGraw's protest
against seating ". B. Scott

is signed by more than majority of
the c0nstitutionally elected members
of the Senate and House IF delegates
Reasons given why Scott's certificate
was not legally given, and why he
should not be made member
of the Senate = Republicans do not
expect the ease ia be considered by
the Senate before next fall.
Following is the protest petition
which Hon. John T. McGraw has for
warded to the United States Senate:
To the Senate of the United States.
1--WE, the undersigned members of
the Senate and the House of Delegates
of the Legislature of West Virginia
constituting a majority of said Legis-
lature, do hereby enter our protest and
remonstrance against seating Hon.
Nathan B. Scott, who claims to have
been elected Senator of the United
States from the State of West Virginia
for the term Of six years next ensuing
after the fourth day of March, 1899,
and who was illegally declared elected
to said office, and without warrant of
authority of law, given a certificate OF
election as such Senator, notwith-
standing the fact as appears affirma-
lively upon the journals of the Senate
and House that said Nathan B. Scott
received less than majority of the
votes constituting the joint conven-
tion of the Legislature of West Vir-
ginia; and Notwithstanding the fur
ther fact as appears from the journals
of said Senate and House of Delegates,
that of the votes received by said Ma
than b. Scott and necessary to even a
pretended majority of the votes cast,
were those of III. c. Getzendanner and
E. M. Pierson, who had forfeited their
right to seats in said Senate and were
not constitutionally members OF either
Senate or House of Delegates, and
who, because of such forfeiture, had
no right to cast any vote in the prem
Uses.
1.-THE undersigned forty-nine MEM
bers, constituting majority Of the
ninety-seven constitutional members
of said Legislature do hereby enter
our solemn protest and earnest remon-
STRANGE against the revolutionary pro-
ceedings under which minority of
said body was declared to constitute a
majority, and the unlawful proceed
ings Of what was alleged to be a joint
convention for the election OF a Uni
ted States Senator"
The above petition is signed by forty
eight Democratic members of the Leg
islature, and delegate j. j. Hapston-
stall, the Republican member from
Fayette county, who voted for Judge
Golf.
McGraw now presents a petition of
forty-nine members, or majority of
the ninety-sevens members of the
Legislature against Scott. These
forty-nine members did not vote for
Scott, who was declared elected by the
votes of fOrtyeight members.
1t is understood that Governor At
kinson has not considered the posi-
bility of unfavorable action by the
Senate upon Scott's case.
Republicans do not anticipate a
consideration of the contested seat
until the Senate meets next fall.

nation Proceedings to be aut into
use--Other Railroad news.
The Cheat river railroad looks
more like it was to be completed
than at any time since the talk Of
the road began to occupy attention.
A corps of surveyors are now on the
way up the river making the final
location Of the grade The con
tractors will follow closely on their
heels with the actual work of con
strnction and before very long the
people living along the banks of the
raging Cheat will be right on the
line Of a railroad which they have
so long desired.
A meeting Of the stock holders OF
the road was held in Pittsbnrg re-
Gently and Rev. Wilson of Cheat
Haven who has the matter OF OBJ
tanning thc-right-of-way in charge
reported to them the progress that
he had made He has gone up about
twenty miles and had obtained the
needed land except in one or two
cases where t he owners had been
unreasonable in their demands.
The stockholders directed the
construction to begin right away
and stated their intention to have
the required land condemned and
taken at the price which will be
fixed by the juries which will be
put on the cases
The contract for a considerable
lot of the grading was given to Par
kersbnrg parties and one of them,
Mr.. dis will make Morgantown
his home while the work is going
on.
1t is stated that the road will con
meet with the p. v. and G. at
Brownsville and will then come up
the Monongahela to the mouth of

1t is said that the actual work Of
construction is now under way near
lock number eight and that all pos
sible diligence will be used prosecu
ting it so that by the close Of the
good weather this fall much Of the
road will be completed and ready
for the trains.
This will make another link in
the extension OF the p. " and G. on
the west side of the river through
this county and will give great
deal OF pleasure to all who are anx-
ious to see the work go through to
the south giving us competing line
and consequently better service and
accommodation in every direction.
In this connection the following
special from Parsons will be of in
terest
The prospects seem bright for q
big railroad development in Preston
county, there being considerable
preliminary work done in three Of
these enterprises. John Sliney has
been Surveying across the Big Reno
district coal field from Cecil, Taylor
county, on the Baltimore and Ohio,
and has about decided to tap the

Pittsburg capitalists are pushing
their right OF way up Cheat river
from Point Marion, and it is expect
ed to tap the West Virginia Central

Query as to Possible Removal of
Gen. Otis-PIeased With Troops.
PLATTSBURG, N. Y, Aug S.-The war
N the Philippines is to be prosecuted with
4 vigOr that ought to result in speedy
cessation of hostilities there. The cor
respondent of the Associated Press saw
35ecretary of War Root tonight in the
pfEce of the Hotel Champlain, just after
ne had said goodbye to the president and
vas prepared to take the 9:45 o'clock
rain for Washington. The secretary re-
erred to his visit to Plattsburg barracks
his afternoon, where he witnessed a regi-
mental drill Of the Twenty-sixth regulars
This regiment has been recruited and
organized within six weeks, and they drill
Hike veterans.
THE progress which the officers and
men of the Twenty-sixth regiment have
made in drilling in so short a time is
simply marvellous" said Mr. Root at
shows the wonderful power Of the United
States when ten regiments Of volunteer
sol95ers can be recruited, drilled and
equipped for active service in the field
IN so short a time"
viii the war in the Philippines be
prosecuted vigorously from now ~?'
asked the Associated Press correspondent.
Mr. Root turned on his heel and re-
piled, quick as a flash:
Yes, sir, the war in the Philippines
from now on will be prosecuted with all
possible energy. All the men, all the
end the trouble in the islands will be
furnished at the earliest possible mo-
ment"
How large a force will be at the dis
posal of the commanding general there?"
was asked.
= There will be $4,000 men there ready
for active service at the close of the
rainy season, by the last of October. and
more will be sent If necessary
With reference to the rumors published
In some papers that President Mckinley
and. he could not agree upon a policy to
be pursued in the Philippines. Mr.. Root
said:
OF course that IS all nonsense"
Asked as to a prospective change of
commanders In the Philippines, Mr.. Root
said he could not say anything on that
at the present.
1t is gathered that there will be an
energetic campaign in the Philippines.
MT, Root seldom talks FOR publication,
ana the fact that he had just come from
significance.

AN UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT.
Filipino Women and Children
SheIIed by GunbOat.

MANILA. Aug. 2.-CVia Hong Kong
The gunb0at Rapidan last week sheIIed
Paete, on the lake, near Santa Cruz. The
town was full of people who had been
encouraged 10 return after Gen Law
tons expedition, having been assured
that they would not be molested if they
peaceably attended to their business
Lieut.. Copp, who was in command Of
the Napidan, heard that the insurgents
had reoccupied the town, and steaming
close in, opened fire with his six-pound-
ers, without warning. The people, see
ing the boat approaching, fed to the
hills in a terrified condition, and with
barely time to escape. One child was
killed and many buildings We're dam
aged. The authorities express great re-
gret on account of the incident.
After taking of Calamba by the Amer
leans, Gen. Lawton ordered that Capt
Otis, of the Washington regiment, be re-
leved of his command and placed under
arrest on account of slowness and SEEM
ing reluctance of the company under his
command in obeying the order to dis
embark from the cascoes and wade
through the marshes under fire. The
men say that a majority of them have
been sick and unfit for duty and were
given to understand that they would not
be asked to do any more fighting.

WILL BE NO WAR.
Mr.. ChOate Expresses an Opinion on
Alaska boundary Dispute.

LONDON. Aug. 8.-Joseph H. Choate
the United States ambassador to Great
Britain was interviewed today by rep
reseEtative of the Associated Press in
regard to the recent war or arbitration
speech delivered by Sir Wilfrid Laurier
the Canadian premier. He said:
There will be no war. 1t is safe to
say that nc amount of politics or poll
ticians in either country could occasion
war in this connection
Mr.. Choate intimated that Mr.. Lauriers
recent remarks were a political dodge.
Regarding Mr.. Choate's statement, the
Canadian high commissioner Lord
Strathcona and Mount Royal, said to a
"Sir Wilfrid Laurier's remark was mere
ly a figure of speech, and not a political
dodge, as intimated by Mr.. Choate. Sir
Wilfrid Laurier would not descend to
such thing, nor did he in any way mean
to challenge the United States. No sensi-
BILE man could regard war as possible
but Canada is simply taking a leaf out
of the United States book in demanding
now what the United States demanded
in the Venezuelan case. Canada is now
a nation, although closely allied to Great
Britain. AS such, she must protect her
rights We merely ask for an equal set
tlement, through arbitration, following
the United States lead. We believe Presi-
dent Mckinley is thoroughly in earnest to
have the question honestly settled The
Misrepresentation of Sir Wilfrid's remarks
by the United States press is unfortu-
nate. Any bitterness or abuse by the
Canadian press is entirely unauthorized
The negotiations are progressing, and I
believe a satisfactory settlement of the
Alaskan question will be achieved"
