Senator Whitaker arrived in the city
this afternoon. and will be present at
the joint session Tomorrow. The Re-
publicans who did not vote for the eau
Gus nominee were HaptonstaIl. OF Fay
cite county, and Hunt, OF Kanawha.
Haptonstall is expected to be in line to-
morrow. and probably Hunt. though
the latter Is doubtful quantity.
Unless some Unforeseen circumstance
intervenes Mr.. Scott should be elected
on Joint ballot tomorrow.
Still Maligning Scott.
Mr.. Scott Is still the victim
OF vicious assaults emanating
from those who are moving
heaven and earth to prejudice feeling
against him. Some OF the stories that
are being circulated here by Democrats
are so absurd In their nature as to cx-
cite ridicule, Word was received to-
Day that some one Is en- route from
wheeling to spring the latest and most
absurd canard OF all. Astonishing Us
II may be to Wheeling people, the false
hood Is n purported copy of n letter
said to have been written by Mr.. Scott
few years since, to the board Of d.
rectors of the Central Glass Works, ad-
mlttlng that he was short 81, 900 and
asking time to settle up. This Is the
climax of the absurdities. II there Is
such copy, It Is forgery. for no such
letter ever existed, and no such incl
dent ever did or could have occurred.
During his presidency of the Central
Glass Works he never handled cent
OF the money. Mr. Scott would like to
know who Is the author of this latest
outrage. These matters have all
served, however, to unite the Republic
cans for the caucus nominee.
Much Interest was taken here in the
lntelligencer's Grafton dispatch yester-
day. detailing the outrageous conduct
Of the count and examination OF WITT
nesses by the subcommittee OF the house
which visited there and returned in
such an astonishing short space of
time. To-day's Charleston Mail copied
the article. 1t is a subject of much
comment. e.
Senator Elliins and Congressman
Dovener and Dayton are still here.
Important conferences were held to-
day. with reference to plans in the
event OF contingency. G. a. D. 4

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 2i.-ICarnegie
hall, in Allegheny, rang with the hymn
america" tonight in ratification OF
OF the settlement of the wage differ
eaces which was effected between the
coal operators and miners of the states
Of Ohio, Indiana. Illinois and Pennsyl-
vania. The settlement means peace for
more than 100000 men and their en-
ployers as far as the general issues arc
concerned
The settlement was reached after ono
of. the most notable gatherings In the
history OF the Industry. The leaders
OF both sides made bitter fight and at
times 1t looked as II there would be a
split and chaos prevail in the great
Industry. Tonight every operator and
minerwas In the best of humor and all
left for their homes feeling glad. ~
The only soreness Is with the block
coal interests OF Indiana. To-day Mr..
William Rlsher. 4 block coal operator(
announced that he desired to change
his vote, which had been In favor OF
adopting the scale. He was o member
OF the scale committee. His announces
ment caused no surprise and the re-
mainder OF the delegates decided that
the settlement should stand in spite OF
the pcotest.

MANUFACTURERS CONVENTION


III Session ut Cincinnnti-Anuual Re-
ports of Officers.
CINCINNATI, Ohio. Jan. 24.-There
were over 1000 prominent manufac-
turers of the country present at the
fourth annual convention here to-day.
Many additional arrivals were regis
tered tonight. so that the attendance
will be still larger for the next two
days.
While the morning and afternoon
sessions to-day were devoted mostly to
hearing the annual reports OF officers
and committees. yet the spirit OF ex-
pansion pervaded anything that was
done. including future policy OF In
crcasing the membership OF the Ma
tional Manufacturing Association dur
Ing the closing year Of the century to
at least 5000. and providing such a
fund in Its treasury as TO make 1t
most potential factor In the extension
or foreign trade. as well as In American
interests. including the new possessions
of this country. President Search used
gavel that had in its construction
samples Of wood from Cuba. Porto Rico
and the Philippines. and the addresses
! In the presentation OF this gavel and
IT'S acceptance were really the key
notes Of the occasion. The manufac-
turers publish u daily bulletin of their
own. giving verbatim report of all
their proceedings, and this bulletin is
distributed every morning when they
ensemble. The National Association
held its first meeting In Cincinnati four
years ago. and it is evidently the inten-
tion at this meeting to reorganize it by
expansion into an association that will
represent every manufacturing interest
in the United States. Canada. and. In
fact comprehensive Pan-Amerlcan
organization. s.a

MADRID, Jan. 2i.--The minister OF
war, General Correa received n cable
dispatch to-day from General Rios, the
Spanish commander in the Philippines,
announcing that all the sick and maim-
ed civil and military prisoners were re-
leased by the FillpInos to-day. The
general added that he hoped the re-
mainder of the prisone 8 will be liberia
ted shortly.
The impartial to-day says: "All the
intelligence from the Philippine islands
show that the Americans recognize
their inability TO overcome the irsur-s
gents in the island of Luzon and the
Fisayas. The FllipInos understand
that the Americans wish to tyrannlze
over them, and exploit them as the
Spaniards never did. Washingtons de-
sire Is to first get the treaty of Paris
voted and then open negotiations with
the rebel chiefs In order to see If
Aguina!do and his colleagues will con-
sent MT lenst To accept an American
protectorate with self government"

accomplished fact and that the lives OF

HONG KONG, Jan. 2i-The members
of the Filipino junta here have issued
the following statement:
The purchase by the American nu-
thorities at Hong Kong Of number of
steam faunchcs for river work in the
Philippine islands is high-handed, un-
necessary and vexatious.
"Domlciliary visits throughout Ma
Mia are exasperating the Flipinos.
Their suspicious are aroused by such
actions. The dispatch of relnforcemcnts
is incompatible with peace and the ap-
pointment of commission is only u
