reliable authority:

This fairly illustrates the prosperity
of this industry during 1899 The year
ended with prices at high tide and ap-
parently on a level with possibly a
slight tendency to subside a trif1e, due
to the season. A further subsistence of
prices, however, would probably be for
the best since it would stimulate other
lines of trade dependent on the iron
industry, and which now are handi-
capped by high prices of their mater
ial, and in many instances by their
inability to get the material at all.
The majority of manufacturers an
ticipate another year of activity and
profitable trade, barring unforeseen
events. And this would seem to be as
sured from the fact that many estab-
lishments have orders covering the best
part of the year

Five more regiments of American
troops arrived at Manila yesterday,

more on the way and more to follow!
Our forces there now aggregate about
$4,000 men, or an army three times as
great as the entire standing army of
the United States before the Spanish
war! Yet we are told the war is prac-
tically over! What poor opinion the

NO BRITISH VICTORY AFTER ALL

NO BRITISH VICTORY AFTER ALL.
In spite of the tremendous jubilation
| in London over Gen. Frenchs alleged
capture of Colesburg, word now comes
over the cable that nothing of the sort
| occurred, that there was no British
! victory at ALL
The most extravagant claims from
London concerning Gen. French's at
tack on Colesburg amounted to little
when sifted down, since it was alleged
to have been but skirmish in which
the Beers, though driven from the
town, suffered but slight losses. But
now it seems that Gen. French did not
accomplish even so small a victory.
Early reports yesterday were to the eff
feet that the Beers had reoccupied
Colesburg. Still later reports give evil
dence that they had never been driven
from the town at all, but had repulsed
the British with heavy loss. At any
rate, it is plain that the Beers are still
in possession of Colesburg, which, it
must be remembered, is in British ter
ritory in Cape Colony.
So London has not even so slight
victory with which to comfort itself
for the long list of unbroken British
reverses since the beginning of the
war. On the contrary, the Colesburg
fight seems to have added another.
The latest news from Colesburg is
calculated to cause all the greater de-
preston in London because of the tenn
porary citation over the first false re-
port of the affair."
If their ablest cavalry general can
not dislodge the Beers from British
territory, what can the British hope to
accomplish on Boer territory, should
they ever reach it, every inch of which
is strongly fortified in the most
thorough and up-to-date manner and
defended by brave army of crack
shots equipped with the latest and best
arms and artillery, and commanded by
such shrewd military tacticians as the
Boer commanders have proved them
selves to be?

THE AWFUL CRIME
FOR WHICH MARTHA DANIELS is
TO BE PUT ON TRIAL AT
WILLIAMSON.
The Murder of Mrs. Belle Collins,
One of the Most Shocking Trage-
dies in the History of West Vir-
ginia.

Special to the Register,
WILLIAMSON, w. Va, January s.
The trial of Miss Martha Daniels for
the murder of Mrs. Belle Collins, is set
for tomorrow in the Circuit Court of
this county, and the case will likely
attract as much attention as any trial
ever known within the borders of the
county, those of the Hatfields not ex-
cepted.
The murder for which this young
woman of less than twenty years is
charged, was committed last fall at the
little town of EggletOn, on the banks
of Tug river, few miles south of here.
1t was a bloody crime, the victim being
stabbed in a dozen different places
with butcher knife. When the dead
woman was found she was lying across
the floor in the kitchen Of her home,
and was surrounded by her two little
children, boys, neither of whom was
ten years of age. These children said:
Martha Daniels killed mamma, and
she went down the river In a boat"
The Daniels girl had always lived
across the river in Kentucky, and at
one time was the sweetheart of Mrs.
Collins oldest son. They severed their
to marry. The girl has always claimed
that the mother of her intended hus-
band was the cause of the falling out,
and at different times threatened, her
life. The boat which the little chill
dren of the murdered woman said the
Daniels girl escaped in was located
near Catlettsburg, KY, few days
later, and shortly afterward the al
legged murderess was captured in a
hotel at Ironton, o. She returned
with requisition papers and is stoutly
proclaiming her innocence of the
crime. She is very pretty girl and
has host of friends who will lend her
every aid possible during her trial. The
murdered woman was a widow Of forty
years.

VIII Stop the Practice.

The police have found it necessary
on account of the numerous complaints
to put stop to the firing of air guns
in the city, Only last week a small
girl living in the Second ward was shot
in the calf of the leg, the injury being
so serious as to cause her limb to be
swollen very badly. The practice is
quite nuisance and it is wonder that
there has not been more serious results
from it. The police from this time on
will enforce vigorous campaign
against the evil and intend, if possible,
to break it up.

IMPERIALISTS CONVICT THEM
SELVES.

Administration organs just now are
jubilantly quoting as Democratic con-
vert to imperialism the Philadelphia
Record, which has been about as Dem
ocratic since 1896 as Mr.. Mckinley,
himself. The Record is an advocate
not only of the single gold standard.
but of the un-American policy of ex-
panding this country's territory in Asia,
OF imperialism, colonialism and militar-
ism.
But like all advocates of these poll
cies 1t convicts itself out of its own
mouth. For example, it quotes the fol-
lowing table as an argument sustain
ing the Mckinley Hanna policy of
American expansion in Asia:

When J. K. Emmett last appeared
here his performance was rather dis
appointing, but last nights production
of Fritz in Mad House" was artistic
in every sense of the word, and de-
lighted the audience. Mr.. Emmett was
in excellent voice, and his singing and
action was very much like that of his
late father. Lottie ellison is a co-star
with Mr.. Emmett. She has heretofore
appeared upon the concert and vaude-
vile stage, but is very much at home in
comedy. Miss ellison sang very sweet
ly, and sang none of her naughty songs.
Manager Feinler has booked the Van
Dyke and Eaton Company for a solid
week at the Grand, commencing next
Monday, with daily matinees beginning
Tuesday. The company is composed
of artists who are recognized for their
ability. The repertoire of plays en-
braces new and high class melodramas
and comedy dramas. Specialties are
introduced by competent vaudeville
performers. There will be change of
bill at each performance.
The American Vaudeville Company
appears at the Grand tonight. Chas.
A. Gardner (Karl) is on the pro-
gramme and sings several of his old
time favorites, such as Little Bunch
of Lilacs," apple Blossoms and
"Gesundeit." There are several other
artists, notable among whom is Apollo,
the wonderful slack rope dancer;
Aimee, the fire and transformation
dancer; the Carmen sisters in good
banjo music; King and STANCE and
Leo and Chapman in some amusing
comedy sketches.

All Of these but the last five items
were acquired under Democratic admin
istrations, and the Record makes the
vital mistake of quoting the Jefferso-
nian-Monroe-Polk policy of honest and
legitimate American expansion in adj
jacent territory on this continent and
within scope of the Monroe Doctrine as
Democratic precedent for Emperor
President McKinley's policy of imper-
ial conquest of foreign territory and
foreign people on the other side of the
earth, involving the un-American pol
icy of colonialism and militarism!
1t requires sublime gall for even an
administration organ to make so ut
terly contradictory claim to say moth
ing of a paper that masQuerades as
Democratic.
In 1888 the Democracy acquired the
Mississippi tract of $4,000 square miles,
in 1903 the Louisiana tract of 1926, 450
square miles, in 1921 the Florida tract
of $3.50 square miles. in 1S45 the Texas
tract of 265,7S0 square miles, in 1S4S
the California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona
$685. square miles. and in 1858 the
Gadsden purchase of 45,535 square
miles-a total of 2,293.975 square miles
of American expansion on this CONT
nent under Democratic administration
of the national government.
The Democracy of 1900 will go even
farther than the Democracy of Jeffer-
son, Monroe and Polk in the direction
of safe, legitimate, practicable and
profitable expansion, which will en-
large American territory without be-
ing source of weakness.
1t will go farther on these same
lines OF legitimate American expansion
than even the present imperial admin
istration proposes to go, for the Democ
racy would annex Cuba, which is part
Of this continent and. coming within
scope OF the Monroe Doctrine must be
defended from foreign aggression by
this government.
The Democracy will approve the an
uexation Of any adjacent or contiguous
territory even though 1t may be pro-
posed to take in all of the Western
Hemisphere. The Democracy would es-
tablish abroad coaling. naval and sup
ply stations at every point OF vantage
for purposes Of extending American
trade and American markets abroad
But the Democracy sharply draws the
