Threatened the Governor With Withdra w
OF Support IL Dawson Was Not Confirmed.
Special to the Register.
Charleston, w. Va, January 23.-
The crack of the party whip, welded
by Senator Elkins, brought into line
those who were opposing the confirma-
ton of Secretary of State Dawson and
for the present at least, prevented him
from being turned down.
AS stated in these kilograms last
night, a we'll formed plan had been
matured by which the appointment
of MI. Dawson was to be rejected by
the Senate, a number of Governor At
kinson's friends, voting with the Dem
ocrats against his confirmation, but
early this morning Senator Elkins was
in the Governors Office pleading with
him and threatening him if he did not
ernor in 1888, and justified the resolu-
Senator Elkins represented to him
that any such action would cause a
split in the Republican party which
would seriously affect all chances of
success in the future. He also told him
that he would withdraw his support
of the Governor for the position of
Judge of the new United States dis
trict court which it is proposed to
create for him in this State unless he
prevented any such action by the Sem
ate. In view of this, the Governor in
sisted to his friends that they should
take no part in such a proceeding, and
did not send in Mr.. Dawsons' appoint
ment as had been expected.

radical steps being taken and as many
Republicans unseated in the House as
there are Democrats unseated in the
Senate.
1t is rumored that should the Demo
Gratis unseat any Republicans in the
House the remaining Republican
members will withdraw from that
body and organize a house of their
own and ask that it be recognized by
the Governor and Senate.
Little credence is given to such re-
ports, and while every opportunity is
afforded for serious trouble, which
may come, it is generally believed that
everything will be ~peaceably settled;
that the Democrats will unseat no one
unless there is good legal ground for
doing so, and that the Senate will be
contented with the majority of three
which the ~unseating Of Kidd and the
seating of Dent will give them.
No report has yet been made by the
committee in the Taylor county case,
but in view of the facts ascertained by
them on their visit to Grafton, there is
but one report which can be made, and
that is that Dent is entitled to the
seat. GEO. w. SUMMERS.

RACING FOR LIFE.
The Niagara Ice Bridge Broke While
Many People Were Upon It-.Some
Narrow Escapes.

NIAGARA FALLS, n. Y, January %
While nearly one hundred persons were
on the great ice bridge in the gorge of
the Niagara river the icy mass was
broken loose from the banks at either end.
There were thousands of Sunday sight
seers in the parks and upon the upper
steel arch enjoying the beauty of the
crystalline structure. They heard the
cracking of the ice and saw the great
mass as it was moved by the swift cur
rent of the river, and hundreds shouted
warnings to those on the bridge.
Some of these venturesome persons had
only zone a short distance from the river
bank, while others were out in the center
of the bridge and were crossing the river.
hose near the end soon found safety, but
further out oward the center were a
number of small boys. Before they were
fairly started for the shore the great
bridge was loosened from it's ~fastenings.
hen it became a race for life, but the
youngsters, amid wild shouts, fl. lily
reached the shore.
It was then seen that all except three
persons had reached places of safety. One
was a man not far out from the New
York side. The others were a man and
a woman, who were fleeing across the ice
toward the Canadian side. The man near
the New York shore kept his courage
we'll. His eyes were directed toward the
steel arch under which he would pass if
the ice continued to move down the river.
Onward it went. and just as he reached
the bridge he leaped from the ice and
caught the arch as it rises not far out
from the abutment. The man and the
woman made record time meanwhile, and
finally reached the Canadian side.
The ice is piled in a great mass about
the abutments of the upper steel arch
and it is rumored that the structure has
been injured, but this cannot be verified.
The steamer docks on each side of the
river nave been wrecked, and the ice has
piled up close to the inclined railway
bridge in the gorge so that it is danger

NO RETALIATION.
Democrats Decide to Abide by the Law and
the Evidence In all Cases-senator Elkins,
as a Party Driver, is a Success.


Special to the Register.
Charleston, W. Va, January %
A conference of Democrats was held
tonight at the Supreme room in the
Capitol to determine upon a policy to
be pursued in view of the action of the
Senate in unseating Senator Kidd.
Many views were advanced. Some
wanted to retaliate by ~unseating as
many Republicans in the House as
there were Democrats unseated by the
Republicans. Others advocated that
the Democrats should refuse to vote
for any appropriations for any pur-
pose except to maintain the humane
institutions of the State. This plan
was advocated in the Senate this after
noon by Senator Osenton and was ad-
vocated by many persons in the con-
ference tonight. This plan may be
adopted later, but in regard to imme-
d ate action a policy of conservatism
was adopted.
The Democrats have agreed not to do
anything revolutionary or retaliatory,
but to act in all cases as they would
if the Republicans had not thrown
Kidd out of his seat.
In regard to the questions which
have been raised to the eligibility of
certain members to seats in the House
the committee will pursue a course in
strict conformity with the law and the
evidence, If the facts show that any
person is ineligible under the law to
a seat in the House, he will not be per-
mitted to occupy it, but no one will be
unseated or seated unless there are
good and lawful reasons for it, and
that only after a thorough investiga-
ton. The question of a partisan ma
jority will not be permitted to enter
into the ase. In short, the same
course the Democrats have pursued
from the start will be continued.
Senator Elkins showed by the result
of his work here to-day that he is the
only real thing in the Republican
party. He has been laboring with
the members of the two houses all
day. He had a conference Of Repu6-
lican Senators this morning; of Re-
publican delegates this afternoon an |
both houses tonight The keynote
of all he said was struck when be
said in this mornings conference thai
there must be Republican government
in West Virginia at any cost. This
was his edict, and this was what caus-
ed the ~unseating of Kidd. He seems
to have cracked the party whip with
great effectiveness. for the Republi-

LAST YEARS CONDITIONS
Will Govern the Coal Mining Situa-
ton Twelve Months Longer.
THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE
OPERATORS AND MINERS ARE
RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING AND AN
AGREEMENT SEEMS CERTAIN
TO BE REACHED BEFORE THE
JOINT CONVENTION ADJOURNS.

Pittsburg, Pa, January 23.-Condi-
lions that prevailed last year in the
competitive field of the bituminous
mining districts in the States of Penn
~sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois,
will prevail during the next year in the
entire field. Yet there is a shadow OF
doubt as to Illinois coming into the
fold. This is to be decided at the
meeting of the entire scale committee
having the affairs of the joint conven-
ton in charge.
1t is expected that the joint nve
ton will be in session tomorrow and
ratify the work of the committee. To-
day there was a bitter fight on the re-
port of the subcommittee on the scale.
H. L. Chapman made a plea for the
Ohio interests which seemed to have a
great effect. The question of day lab
or was raised and after a consultation
with the representative operators OF
the Buckeye State, all differences were
healed.
T. l.. Lewis, of Ohio, on behalf of the
miners of that State, said:
ohio is now ready to settle in spite
of the objections that have been raised.
There is no use in wasting time and
the scale committee might as well get
down to business. Ohio will insist on
a settlement as the miners of u State
came here for that purpose. Of course
there are some matters that are not
agreeable to some of the miners, but a
settlement must be had.
At midnight, the Illinois operators
adjourned from a caucus. They could
not agrees. During the day they con-
ceded the run of mine proposition and
insisted that the pick and machine diff
ferential be fixed. The operators of
Illinois agreed to adjust the matter out
side of the Danville district through a
board of arbitration outside of the State
board of arbitration. The differential
in the State of Illinois is looked upon
by the miners of the other competitive
States as a local issue which should be
decided by them without standing
against a settlement of the difficulty
in the four competitive States.
S. M. DalZell president of the Hi
nois Operators Association said:
1--WE are confronted with local ques-
tions, but | believe when we get togeth-
err before this joint convention adjourns
there will be a settlement reached"
Official authority obtained from re-
liable leaders of the miners of Ohio,
Indiana and Pennsylvania, show that
they will make a settlement in spite
of any position Illinois may take.
