AMERICANS SLANDERED.
Spanish Correspondents Description
of Conditions at Manila.

Barcelona, Jan. 2S.-The Manila cor
respondent of the Diario says he has
discovered that the relations between
Major General Otis and Rear Admiral
Dewey are most strained, owing TO the
profound rivalry which exists between
the land and sea forces of the United
States in the islands.

Americans" says the correspondent, lis

Mia are taxed $1,000 each, and the po-

The correspondent further declares
that the Americans have monopolized
all the trade and swamped the mar
ketS with their products, rendering
European competition impossible. As an
instance of this, he alleges that Cali
fornia wines are sold in Manila as gen
uine Bordeaux.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Frye
continued his argument for the ratifi-
cation of the peace treaty with Spain,
in today's executive session of the SEN
ate. He talked for an hour and a half
and again made the only speech of the

The principal questions under con-

the payment of claims against the
Spanish government, the reasons for
agreeing to pay Spain for the improve

tending to Spain the benefit of an open
door policy in her former possessions.
There were various Interruptions by
other senators, who, however, confined
themselves TO questions.
In reply TO one of these questions
relating to the presidents instructions,

Can Cubans Govern Themselves?

One of the best known diplomatists
recently declared that the Cubans are
incapable of governing themselves, and
that the United States must maintain
its present control indefinitely, or else
annex the island. There viii be those
who viii dispute this, but there are
none who viii dispute the well estab-
lished fact that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is capable of controlling the
common diseases of the stomach. It is
q remedy that is backed by fifty years

SECOND TO BE
MUSTERED OUT
Will Be Done Soon After the
Army Reorganization
Bill Passes.

Dissatisfaction Among The Men And a
Deluge OF Appeals to West Virginia
Senators And Member And other
Prominent People In Washington
Accomplished The Result Officers
And Men Who Want to Stay In The
Service Will be Permitted to Join
The Regular Army.
WASHINGTON d. c., January 19.-
The Second Regiment of the West
Virginia volunteers now in the service
of the United States government will
be mustered out of the service as soon
as possible, after the passage of the
army reorganization bill now pending
before Congress.
This decision has been reached with
in the last few days, and is in line
with the present policy of the war de-
partment to replace volunteer troops
as far as possible with regulars.
Almost identically the same state
of affairs as regards discomfort with
the service exists in the Second Regi-
ment as did at tirst, and the members
of Congress from West Virginia have
been deluged for some time past with
appeals from many of the private sol
diers in the regiment to be mustered
out.
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Scott was also repeatedly requested
by members of the regiment to use his
influence to have the men dismissed
from the service and 1t Is due to his
efforts in their behalf that theiad min
istration yielded.
1t is understood that many of the
privates as we'll as the great majority
of the officers wish 10 stay in the SER
vice. All of these will be given the
desired opportunity, and the prefer
ence over others who desire to enlist
in the ranks Of the increased regular
army which it is the desire of the gov
ernment TO organize.
Private Fred +. Wilkinson, COM
panY d, First w. Va. volunteer in
fantry, now at Columbus, Georgia,
has been transferred as a first.class
private to the United States Signal
Corps. He will be sent to Augusta,

NO MORE MONKEYING.
Students hold a monster mass
ing Thursday night

Resolutions adopted looking toward an
abolition OF the practice by the stu
dents themselves-An honor league
to be formed-Speeches by the mem
bers Of the faculty and students
Will meet again to form more per-
feet organization--a most commend
able move.
Last evening large number of
the University students held mass
meeting in Commencement Hall for
the purpose of forming an Honor
League. This is one of the most
commendable movements ever start
ed in the University, and if it sue
ceeds will be heralded all over the
country as an example of what stu
dents can do to put down dishonesty
in examinations.
One of the best things about the
affair is that a large number OF our
cleanest and most honorable stu
dents feel deeply on the subject and
declare that no amount of punish
ment by the faculty can correct dis
honesty in student body. The
honor of the students must be
stirred.
Addresses were made by Professor
Wiley, Prof. Woolery, Prof. Hodges
and DR.. Brooke. The movement is
rapidly taking shape, and in short
time will be ready for public secog
milton.
The meeting was presided over by
James w. Horn as chairman and
Miss Gillian Jamison as secretary.
A resolution was introduced pledg
ing every student present to do all in
his power to break up the practice
Of cheating and it was unanimously
adopted The meeting adjourned
without fixing time for the next
meeting and will come together
again when called by the president.
In the past much of the friction that
! has arisen between the faculty and
the students has come about through
efforts at discipline called out by the
practice of cheating aud the move
the students have entered into will
do much toward avoiding this. The
move is one in which every right
mind student is interested and it is
bound to succeed. It's the only one
by which cheating can be stopped.
From the remarks made by Col.
Frazier and w. w. Hughes on the
subject it was readily seen what
stand the students themselves took
on the scheme.

Maxwell's History of Randolph County

Mr.. HUI Maxwell has completed
his history of Randolph county and
has delivered the work to subscrib-
ers. 1t is probably Mr.. MaxwelFs
best effort and he is the author of
several similar works 1t not only
contains the history of Randolph
county but very concise history OF
West Virginia in as brief space as
possible. The work is valuable to
the general reader for this feature
This is no doubt the best history of
the state ever put in so small a
space but it is concise and correct.
The county history is remarkably
free from the personal taffy and
puffs and euloguims that usually go
to fill up local histories. The family
history is written without being
overloaded with descriptive adjec-
tives and without making each char
acter the greatest man in the coun-
ty. Mr.. Maxwell seems to have
gone on the presumption that a
plain story simply told is sufficient
in biography as in other things.
The book deserves to be in every
library in the state aud should be
in every home in Randolph county.
Mr. Maxwell will remain in Parsons
tor time where orders may be sent.
The book was printed by the Acme
Publishing Company OF this place.

a verdict for Griffith and then the

This will take place at some future

SCOTT NAMED.

He will go against McGraw for the SEN
atorial plum-A warm caHcas--Goff a
hot second--Locai dissatisfaction.
Nathan Bay Scott was nominated
by the Republican caucus last night
at Charleston on the eighteenth
ballot receiving twenty-eight votes.
Golf was close second and took in
fifteen Atkinson plugged along at
the rear having two to his credit
when the nominating ballot was
taken
The result of the caucus is not
very encouraging to the Republicans.
Their candidate is probably the
weakest man they could have named
outside of Atkinson. Two members
did not go into the caucus and 9th
ers have declared that they will not
support Scott. However they may
change their minds after it comes
down to matter of have to or bolt.
Hunt and Hepponstall are the
men who did not 60 into the caucus.
Senator Fast is still against unseat-
ing any senators without cause and
he is discordant thorn to be Cooked
after by his party brethren.
At one time during the balloting
Golf forged to the front and it looked
like he would stampede the caucus
and take the plum but the Scott peo-
pie fought hard and finally landed
their man. Local republicans are not
very well pleased with the selection.
They wanted Golf for the greater part
and don't think that Scott is fit for
the place. However it is still a long
ways from election in his case.
