Princes and Counts reception that Miss
Grant was considerably agitated while

This is because he is an Old World

IMPERIALISM AND LABOR.

The venerable ex-Gov. George S.
Boutwell,, of Massachusetts, despite the
fact that he is eighty-two years old, is
making a remarkable campaign against
the imperial policy of the administra-
ton. He has always been prominent
in the Republican party in State and
nation. He has filed State offices from
member of the Legislature to Governor,
and in national affairs served as repre-
sentative in Congress, senator, commits
sioner of internal revenue, secretary of
the treasury, and one of the managers
Of the impeachment trial of President
Andrew Johnson.
His opposition to Mckinley on ac-
count of his Philippine policy is bitter
and he and many other prominent Re-
publicans are addressing large meet
ings in the east.
This venerable Republican-Presiden
Grants secretary of the treasury-was
recently invited to dine in Boston with
ment, the honor being given him in
acknowledgement of his activity in
bringing about the establishment of
short hours for mechanical work in the
government departments. After re-
GREETING the necessity he is under of
declining the invitation, Gov. Boutwell,
went on to say:
ITO me and to you one topic is supreme
over all others when questions of public
importance are under consideration. The
nation is passing through a crisis, or rather
it is in a crisis, which portends all of evil
to the laboring population that can ever
come to them-their downfall from a condi-
ton of independence, of power in the af-
fairs of the country, to state of servility
through competition with the millions of
the Oriental world. The Philippines are
never to be surrendered. So says the Pres
ident. They are to be conquered and they
are to be kept within or under the juris-
diction of the United States. The laboring
population of this country have one means
of averting this evil, and l DO not hesitate
in advising its use. Let them unitedly and
with energy oppose the reelection of Pres
ident Mckinley and their days of peril will
be ended and the country will be saved
from the grasp of Imperialism
1t is no small matter that thus
brought so stalwart a Republican as
Gov. Boutwell, TO openly oppose the re-
election of the slated Republican candi-
date for the Presidency.

MORGANTOWN, W. Va, September
S.-Frank Cox has gone to Charles
Town to present the case of Ammons
VS.. the South Penn Oil Company. This
case is important to the oil people of
the State. 1t is a suit brought by
Milton Ammons. of this county, against
the South Penn as a result of the man
ner in which certain oil wells were
drilled. Ammons' land was held I'M
der lease by the South Penn, as we'll
as all the adjoining land. The wells
drilled on the adjoining leases were
very close to the line, while Ammons'
wells were placed far back into the
lease. The consequence, it is alleged,
was that Ammons land was drained
without him getting the benefit of the
royalty. The suit was brought for
damages on this account The lower
court gave him the damages asked, and
the principle was laid down that wells
could not be drilled in the manner fol-
lowed in this case. The South Penn
appealed the case and it now goes be-
fore the Court of Appeals. Governor
Fleming and NJ. F. Elliott, chief coun-
sci for the Standard Oil Company, will
appear for the defendant.

Despite the several large and first

both men and women--have had to
walk the streets almost all night for
lack of sleeping accommodations. Even
had the Mcclure House been open t.

could have been supplied. Excellent as
Wheeling's hotel accommodations arc
it is evident that in cases of emergency
we need still another large hosiery.
This is hint for some of the possessors

to await the action of this jury, be re-
leased from custody.
The womans sister arrived at Wash
ington from Chillicothe, O., yesterday
morning, and said the dead woman's
right name was Mary Danridge. and
that her home was at Chillicothe, where
her remains will be taken for burial.

of Ella Miller's house in Alley G, this
city.
The dead woman was known by her
intimate friends as 1.-THE Kid
The testimony before the coroner's
jury showed that Bert Phillips was en-
tirely innocent of any wrong doing, he
merely endeavoring to get the woman
to leave his brother alone and let him
return to his family. Ed Phillips ack-
nowledged that he had been on intim-
ate terms with the woman for nearly a
year, having first met her in Wheeling.

respectable people, are Frustrated over
the actions of their son and brother.
Mrs. Ed. Phillips arrived at Wash
.ington from Bridgeport Friday morn
ing. Mrs. Phillips went before Squire.
d. M. Donehoo and wanted to make in
formation against her husband, charg-
ing him with desertion but as the alleg-
ed desertion was at Bridgeport, she was
uniformed that she would have to make
the information there.
The unfortunate woman came to this
city few days before the late street fair,
having been brought here, with another
woman, by Ella Miller. She went to
Mrs. Millers house, remaining there for
some time, and from there went to
Chillicothe, o.. with well-known
Wheeling man, and thence to Pittsburg.

The State Republican Chairman Out in a
Funny Interview -Poiitical Notes.
Hon. VIM. M. o. Dawson, chairman Of
the State Republican Committee, is
quoted in an interview in the Intel
ligencer as saying, in effect, that he did
not come to Wheeling to slap Hon. N
B. SCOTS mouth, and that even if he
felt so inclined he is not big enough
man politically to carry out such an
important commission. Chairman
Dawson then opens his salve box, and
remarks that Scott has made a most
efficient Senator" and in almost the
same breath expresses the conviction
that Scott will have no trouble in TAX
ing his seat His reference to Scott S
efficiency no doubt applied to the State
Senate Mr. Dawson thinks the Re-
publicans will carry the State "hand-
somely." He also takes occasion at this
late date to deny that certain letters
proving his treachery to Governor At
kinson were found in Mr.. SCOTS head
quarters at the Hotel Ruffner after the
close of the Senatorial fight.

AN EXCITING OCEAN VOYAGE

AN EXCITING OCEAN VOYAGE.
The steamship Ksns City of the
Ocean Steamship Compauy's line ar
rived at Savannah Saturday night from
New York, after a most exc ting and
dangerous voyage. She left New York
Tuesday afternoon and was nearly 100
hours coming down the coast. She
WAS struck by the terrific gale that has
hovered about the Atlantic coast for
several days and had narrow escape
from sinking. There were over fifty
passengers on board. The experience
Of the Kansas City was even worse
than that of the Augusta, which struck
the gale earlier in the week. At one
time the danger of fire was added to
that OF the storm Between and 5
O'Clock Friday morning the electric
light wires set fire to the casing iDclos
ing them in the after companion way.
The fire worked its way along the cas-
ing to the main saloon, where the
smoke made its presence known. Tue
alarm was given Immediately and the
call TO quarters was sounded. The
storm was still at its height. The fire
was found sud extiueuished in about
twenty minutes This occurred in the
early morning, and few OF the passen-
gers were aware of the danger which
threatened them until hours afterward.
Captsiu Fisher says of the trip: I'VE
lett New York at 8 30 O'Clock Tuesday
afternoon and had fine weather until the
next day at noon, when 1t began TO grow
squally. This continued until o'clock
in the afternoon, about fifty miles north
of Hatteras, where we first really felt
the storm. I did no think it prudent
to 90 around Cape Hatterosin the night,
and so we hove to and laid the vessels
head to eastward. About 8 o'clock the
next morning the wind increased TO
gale from the northeast with heavy
sea. At o'clock it was blowing with
hurricane force and the barometer was
down to 29.29. The velocity of the
wind at this time was about eighty
miles 50 hour, coming in squalls. AZ
noon Thursday the barometer was down
10 30 20 The storm continued until s
O'Clock Friday night, when the weather
mod Grated somewhat, the wind and sea,
however, being fierce and heavy. There
is aotting broken, not even 8 strand Of
rope. There is probably some slight
damage to the cargo from water, of
which we shipped gr,at deal. The
seas were terrific, piling over oRe an
other and breaking over tbs ship
When the storm subsided Friday night
we hardly knew where we were. We
had been blown considerable distance
out of our course, probably one hundred
miles. The passengers behaved admir-
ably throughout. They kept cool and
were appreciative OF whatever Wac done
for them"
