SITUATION ABOVE.

Special to the Register.
Pittsburg, Pa, February ISL D. m.
Light misty rain, sprinkled at in
tervals with snow began falling here
to-day and continued all afternoon and
evening. At ten oclL.s. tonight there
was feet inches OF water in the
Ohio. The river was risic% yery
slowly and there was considerable
small ice going out It was impossible
to predict what the Ohio would do,
owing to the uncertain weather. The
night reports from up-riyer points say
rain is falling in both the Monongahela
and Allegheny valleys and the rivers
are rising II the rain does not get
heavier no damage will result. To-
night indications were for continued
cloudy and possibly slightly cooler
weather. There are no heavy rains in
sight.
fhC weather bureau officials say that
by tomorrow the snow Will be well
melted and there win not be so much
danger from a heavy rain fall. About
q dozen tOWb0ats we're engaged to-day
breaking the ice in the MonOngahea
pools. At McNeesport, Duquesne and
other Monongahela river towns above
Pittsburg, people were busily engaged
this afternoon and evening moving
goods. Reports from the upper Yough-
iougheny river district were that the
stream was rising rapidly and the pros
poets Of a flood were excellent Rain
fell most Of the day. At McKeesport
the false work under the Pittsburg,
McKeesport and Youghiougheny rail-
road bridge was removed to prevent the
ice gOrging. The railroad and Fifth
avenue bridge piers there are close to-
gether, and if gorge forms the upper
end Of McKeesport will be flooded.

How Tennesseeans Shot.

A yarn is told in Manila and it concerns
the prison and two Tennessee volunteers,
says Harper's Weekly. A Filipino convict
had climbed the prison wall and running
for dear life through the open. Two long
legged Tennesseeans were on guard duty.
They kneeled to fire.
Il don't guess it's more than 800 yards, -
said one, quietly.
Il reckon it's most $780," said the other,
as if he were discussing the weather
The prisoner was running like a deer,
and rapidly approaching the underground
around innumerable huts, where he would
be safe.
call it 400" suggested the first Tennes-
seean, in a conciliatory tone.
They adjusted their sights, aimed and
fired. The escaping convict fell, and the
two TennesSeeanS went out to bring IN
what was left Of him.
IF he's hit in the head, it's my shot
said one.
Il aimed low, acc ding to amy regula,
tons" drawled the other.
The convict was found with one bullet
through the back of his head and another
through the lower end of his spine. They
know how to shoot In the mountains of
Tennessee.

ChiIton Had PAID Hi. Fare.

A Texas paper says that Senator Chiffon
was travelling last summer in Western
Texas in company with distinguished
lawyer from Austin. The latter went into
the smoking car and engaged in converse
ton with the conductor, telling the lattes
as piece of news that he just left Sena-
tor Chiffon in the parlor car
"Oh, stuff" said the conductor, what
are you trying TO give me? Senator Chill
ton is not aboard this train"
The lawyer reiterated his assertion, and
was surprised 20 find the conductor obsti-
nate in his incredibly Finally bottle of
wine was bet on the identity of the man
under discussion, and the lawyer went
with the conductor TO where the senator
was sitting. Then the railroad man gave
in.
"Tn tell you" said the loser. why
made that bet. In going through the
train 1 did not take up a single pass.
reasoned that if a senator had been aboard
he would have been provided with trans
portadon; but Senator Chiffon handed me
a ticket like the rest, and, as that was
not in line with my past experience, was
sure that my legal friend was getting the
worst of the wager"

THE SOUTH BETTER THAN THE
COLONIES"

I.eslie's Weekly is giving its readers
some good advice. Go South, young
man." it says. More money has been
made in the Southern states in the last
twenty years than will be made in the next
fifty years in Cuba, Porto Rico or the
Philippines. and the chances for money
making in the South have only commence
ed"
The truth of the Weekly's assertion is
recognized by such Iong-headed business
men as John H. Searles, who is now de-
voting hF energies and his capital TO the
development Of Southern resources. Mr.
Searles' case however, is only one in
stance among many. New mills and fac
tories are going up all the while in the
South. There were 5000 and more new
Industries launched in the South last year
1t is claimed that the iron market for the
world is now made in Alabama. The
Southern ports are steadily winning foreign
trade from their Northern neighbors. New
York is seriously concerned respecting her
decline in foreign commerce, while the
Ing. The fact is that the business is COM
ing South. New England is perturbed
because of the competition of Southern
textile mills with her mills The South is
now selling cotton fabrics to Europe and
Asia and South America in competition
with the long-established manufacturing
Industries OF both Old and New England.
Every Southern state increased its rail-
road mileage during the year just past;
and at the present time there Is a move
ment towards the consolida ton of indie
pendent roads into great systems which
will result in improved service and better
transportation facilities. Railway invest
ors see their most promising field in the
South. Manufacturing establishments for
the utilization of the products of the cot
ton plant continue to increase in number
There are still hundreds of fine water
powers in the section which await devel-
opment Gold mining in Georgia is looking
up. A large smelter is to be established
in this state at once.
The agricultural possibilities of the Sec
ton are almost unlimited. Mr. Wilson,
the Secretary Of Agriculture, has recently
had something to say of the resources of
the farms of the South. The climate and
the soil are favorable for the production
of almost every agricultural product know
to the temperate zone. All that Is need
ed is intelligent diversified farming; and
our agriculturists are learning to diversity
their crops. And there are stin hundreds
of thousands of acres of magnificent farm
ing land in the South lying idle and unpro-
ductive, awaiting the coming of the indus
tr.ous and frugal immigrant, who will
come and tickle the earth and make it
laugh forth golden grain"
There are, indeed, a thousand and one
opportunities for intelligent industry in
the South to win independence and ease, il
not luxury. THE colonies offer no such
inducements to young Americans as are
to be found right at home" among their
own people, and where respect for law
and order is the rule.

CUBAN CLAIMS,

The amount of the claims against Spain
for losses in Cuba during the war be-
tween Spain and Cuba Is getting to be
pretty large. 1t is now about S21, 900, 900,
and is steadily increasing. Our interest
in these claims is very great, because we
have agreed to pay them. The number
of claimants thus far is 200. Everybody
who can find any ground for a claim will
no doubt be found among them. But
they will not get all they demand unless
they make very satisfactory proof that
their demands are not extravagant. 1t is
certain that they will not get their claims
paid quite as soon as they would like.
Unc.e Sam is not very prompt in pay
ing claims. He takes long while to make
up his mind to part with money for them
One reason of this Is that most claimants
put in bills for two or three times as
much as they ought to have. No doubt
the owners of these Cuban claims have
not been over modest in making out their
bills. One person wants $2,1626 for the
destruction of his sugar plantation. In
view of the fact that the land was not
destroyed it is probable that his losses ap-
pear to him to be somewhat larger than
they really were. One woman claims $780,
600 for the loss of her husband and an
other claims $4,000 for a similar loss. 1t
is hardly probable that Uncle Sam will
pay those prices for husbands.
But will Cuba or this country ultimate
ly have to pay these claims? We have
agreed to pay them. but viii we not
charge them up against Cuba when we
make final settlement with her In view
of all that we have done for her she ought
to be willing 90 pay them. The claims
against the United States, which Spain has
agreed to pay, were incurred in assist
ing Cuba. 1t would be nothing more than
fair therefore if Cuba should pay these
claims which we have agreed to pay.
When the commission, which we shall APP
point to examine these demands, gets
through with its work 1t is probable thai
the amount Uncle Sam win have to pay
win not be more than half what it was
originally.

GEN. wHEELER,s DEFENSE.

It was unnecessary for Gen. Wheeler TO
make any defense of his conduct in the
Santiago campaign. The charges that he
fought the battle of Las Guasimas against
orders and that he advised retreating from
the position before Santiago on the night
Of July 2 were made by persons who want
ed to do him an injustice or who were
not acquainted with the facts. The peO-
pie are too well acquainted with his record
to believe such charges.
Gen. Wheeler, however, has gone to the
trouble to make an exhaustive review of
the Santiago campaign, and has given TO
the public all OF The really important facts
be relied upon implicitly. Il is based not
only upon his own recollection but also
upon the records in the war department
From this statement it appears that the
battle Of Las Guasimas was fought in
obedience TO orders, and that Gen. Wheel
er was strongly opposed to retreating from
before Santiago on the night of July 2.
It is not improbable that it was Gen.
Wheeler's vigorous protest that prevented
a retreat on the night of July 2. Gov.
Roosevelt is on record as saying that Gen.
Wheeler was the backbone of the San
tiago campaign.
1t is regrettabIe that there should be
those DESTROYS of robbing a deserving sol
der of well earned fame. Gen. Wheeler
is one of the most modest of men. He is
always more anxious to praise a fellow
soldier than to receive praise himself. But
he doesn't want to be put before the
country in a false position. 1t is not at
all remarkable, therefore, that he should
have taken the trouble to deny charges
made, there is good reason to think, by
those whose chief desire is to do him in
justice If the charges should he reiter-
ated the war department should make a
statement about the matter, so that the
public would have no misunderstanding
of the parts played by those who were the
chief actors in the Santiago campaign.

Went forth unto the matinee. i+l
A stylish, tailor madelsh girl,
With feathers on her hat a-curl.

With twinkling eyes and roguish smile
She sauntered down the center aisle

But cen in that found great delight
Maud sauntered sweetly down.the aisle,

She sauntered down the aisle, and sat
Beneath her continent of hat.

Behind her continent of hat

And gazed upon Maud Mullers hair.

The play was very fine ineed.
Maud's hat with sweet excitement swayed
With what the players said and played.

l read JOY, pleasure. grief, despair.

And when IL wobb.ed through the air
I knew the funny man was there.
And when that hat with tremblings bobbed
Methought the hero-lady sobbed.

The Morning News thinks 1t voices the
opinion of a majority Of those who pass
frequently through Johnson square N
saying that the planting of Spanish bayou
cts yucca vacatta) at each intersection
of the walks was a mistake. The square
is virtually a business thOroughfare. Its
walks are narrow. 1t is surrounded on
ell sides by banks, hotels, brokers' and
other Offices, the express company's Of
fees, and stores. There is a constant
rush of travel across the square, from all
directions. 1t is rather remarkable, and
commendable, that the public refrain from
walking diagonally across the grass plots.
hence they might be excused for cutting
across short corners where the walks
cross each other. It is apparently not for
the purpose of ornamenting the square
that the dangerous. spined plants are set
at the corners, but TO stop the cutting
across. If a person, child or adult, were
to run into one of these plants, serious
injury would probably be sustained and
should ones face stroke against the sharp
leaves the result might be loss of eyesight.
If it does not look nice to see the grass
trampled at the corners of the walks, the
walks should be remodeled so that there
would be no sharp angles; or iron rails
might be Placed around the corners. Pos
sibiy the best of all solutions would be
remodeling of the plan of the walks
through the square, so that there woutl
be walks diagonally across from each side,

across. Furthermore. the walks are not
