THE SENATE

washington. February &.-After Two
hours devoted to the consideration OF pihs
on the calendar, the senate at O CLOCK pc
gun the consideration OF the compromise
army reorganization bill, which hao peen
agreed upon by the members OF the mill
tary affairs committee. Until snort
time before the mea sure was taken up IL
was supposed it would be passed today
without serious difficulty but when 1t was
learned by some senators that the bill pro-
yided for a permanent increase in the
standing army, objection were heard ana
1t became evident that the measure wouid
have to run the gauntlet of sharp criticism.
Mr.. German (dem. of Md, desired that
no authorization of a permanent increase
in the army should be given and prepared
an amendment as follows:
THAT each and every act of this proVls-
ion shall continue In force until july l,
1901, and men, including general officers and
staff officers shall be restored to rank
and numbers as provided for by law prior
to April /, 1898, except the cadets appointed
prior to July /, 1901, and except as provided
in the act to authorize two additional regi-
ments Of artillery, as provided March s,
1898"
Speeches in support of the bill were deliv-
cred by Mr. Hawley, of Connecticut; Mr.
Cockrell, of Missouri; Mr.. Carter, of Mon
tana, and Mr.. Smith, of New Jersey, and
against it by Mr.. German, of Maryland,
and Mr. Allen of Nebraska. The speeches
of Messrs German, Carter and Cockrell
were particularly notable utterances. Mr.
Cockrell, who has consistently opposed a
large standing army, gave the pending
measure his unequivocal and unqualified
support, declaring It was the best army
measure ever submitted to congress. No
agreemnt to vote on the bill had been
reached when the senate adjourned.

GREED Of PROPERTY Owners
May Block the Great Project at the
Riverside Plant.
PROBABILITY THAT THE M
MENSE IMPROVEMENTS AND
EXTENSIONS PROJECTED IN
BENWOOD MAY BE GIVEN UP,
TO THE IRREPARABLE LOSS OF
WHEELING AND yICINITY-AN-
OTHER CASE FOR THE CHAM
Der OF COMMENRCE.

Readers of the Register well know
that the National Tube Company, now
the owner of the former Riverside plant
at Benwood, has projected enormous
additions to the original plant OF the
company, which will result in the prac-
teal doubling of the already immense
enterprise and the employment of thou
sands of additional hands, to the corre-
spending benefit of this entire commu-
nifty, including Wheeling proper, Ben
wood, McMechen and the towns on the
Ohio side of the river. The Tube Com
pany completely formulated its plan,
and has done a very considerable
amount of work. but its intention OF
establishing at Benwood one of the
largest industrial plants in the country
has been blocked by the exorbitant de-
mands of owners of real estate north OF
the old plant and in the vicinity OF
Boggs' run. Since it has become known
that the company desired to acquire
additional ground owners have doubled,
tripled and quadrupled the ordinary
value of property, and the present sit
uation is such that the Tube Company
may change it's entire plans, give up
its great enterprise at Benwood and
locate the projected improvements at
some other point, to the irreparable loss
Of Wheeling and all its tributary terri
tory.
This threatened change of programme
is matter which calls emphatically for
intervention, and is a fitting subject
for the interposition of the Chamber
for the interposition of the Benwood
Council, and also for the con-
sideration of the Chamber Of
Commerce and of business men gen.
orally. The original idea of the Ma
tional Tube Company meant a great
deal for the future of Wheeling. A
few individuals have it in their power,
apparently, to block the entire pro-
ceeding, and if their policy prevails it
will mean the loss of tens and hundre+i
of thousands of dollars to this eommu~
nifty. 1t is proper subject for vigor-
Gus action by our local association OF
business men, and yet it appears to be
a difficult thing to excite even a pass
ing interest in this or any other kim
dred industrial affair. 1t is high time
to wake up and get move on. The
policy of everybody for himself has
reached its limit in Wheeling, and it's
continuance can only result in public
injury and the blockading of the pro-
gressive career which should be the am
bition of the people of every city in
this age of the world.

the circular has had an opposite effect
to that intended. There are many glass
blowers in Martins Ferry who know
far more of Mr.. ellis union principles
than Mr. Smith or any one else of the
younger generation can tell them They
know how Mr.. Gill shipped non-union
men from Brooklyn to fill the places
of his old employees and how he ran
"black sheep" factory from 1878 to the
fall of 1879. They know how the mem
bers of the organization were taxed
as high as rs per cent. of their weekly
earnings to sustain Mr.. Gill's striking
employees. This continued until the firm
was finally whipped by the union and
forced to send its non-union men away.
A few of the Martins Ferry men who
know the whole story and whose word
is unimpeachable, are VIM. Prince, Of
Hanover street. Chas Huffman, of
Third street; Wash. Rose, of Fifth
street, and Henry Kellar. of Seventh
street. The mendacious roorback, it is
evident, bobbed up in the wrong place,
and one hour after being issued it was
so dead saltpetre wouldn't save it.

BIG BOATS TO START.

terday that the C.. & P packet line
will resume operation to-day. The
Virginia starts from Pittsbufg at

point in time to leave at o'clock to-
morrow morning for Cincinnati. The
Queen City also leaves Cincinnati this
evening and the keystone State will
follow Thursday. The Virginia will
take freight and passengers for as far
south as Louisville.
The Lorena leaves GAINESVILLE to-day
for Pittsburg. She will leave this point
on the UP trip at II p. m.
Capt. Phil. Anchutz, known from one
end of the river to the other, is in this
city to join the Queen City, on which
boat he holds the berth of pilot. In
speaking of the possibility of more
water. he said that it was his opinion
the larger packets would be forced to
tie up before there is another rise but
the small boats would be out until the
ice.

President Blickenderfer of the W. & L. E.
Talks About Improvement.
President Bickenderfer, Of the
Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad, was
interviewed after making thorough
inspection of the road. and said:
THE road bed was never in better
condition than it is at present. But
the management has not completed all
its improvements During the receiv-
ership more attention was paid to maxi
ing the property good, safe road.
The road bed was built up, and all Of
the bridges and trestlework was
brought UP to the standard of north
and south roads. Practically, all of the
old bridges were replaced with new
steel structures, and much of the tres
tlework was filled.
Now, the work of cutting down the
grades has been arranged for. and will
be completed as soon as we can secure
the men to do the work. Two hundred
and twenty thousand dollars, which
were raised in the reorganization Of
the property, are to be spent on the
grades of the road. 1t is estimated that
this will increase the net earnings of
the property $4,000.
"The management win continue the
policy of improving its equipment.
Ten new locomotives have been pur-
chased, which will be delivered in De-
cember.'

No New Developments as to the Origin of

The fire department worked until late
yesterday morning on the blaze in the
Wilson G Son lumber yard. and after
a prolonged effort extinguished every
particle OF fire. Chief Cline was seen
at 5 a. m. and again last night by Reg
lister reporters, and is firm in his con-
viction that the fire was of incendiary
origin but still had nothing to guide
him in obtaining a clue. The firm has
offered a reward of five hundred dol
lars for information that will lead TO
the arrest and conviction of the guilty
parties, and also returns thanks to all
who assisted in extinguishing the fire.
which might have been much more de-
structiye had the wind been high from
the west.
Chief Cline stated last night that he
had been looking up the records, and
found there had been more alarms in
the first ten months of this year than
in the previous three years and half.
Alarms have been coming thick and
fast OF late, but they are always moro
numerous in the fall and early winter
than at any other season Of the year.
