Democratic Party Glad to Receive
Him, But He Must Play Fair.
CHICAGO, April 14.-Bryan Demo-
Gratis have decided to welcome Admiral
Dewey into the Democratic party.
Such is the position officially outlined
in to-day's issue of the Democratic
press bulletin:
1--WE may accept the Admiral's dec
laration of his political faith as indi-
eating that he is with the Democratic
party at least on an overwhelming ma
jority of the issues it has taken up"
runs the articles which is written by
Willis J. Abbott, head of the Demo-
cratic literary bureau. This is a
most gratifying fact the article con-
tinues. 1T indicates that should the
Democratic party after mature de-
liberation, deny to the Admiral the
nomination which he seeks, it may,
nevertheless, count on his hearty CO.
operation and his influence in behalf
of it's efforts to end the evils of Nc
Kinleyism by ending the reign of
William l."
In commenting on the purport of his
article, Mr.. Abbott says:
I'VE are naturally delighted at the
prospect of such a distinguished ac-
QUESTION to our ranks as Admiral
Dewey, but of course we expect the
Admiral to play fair and accept the
good old Democratic doctrine of abid-
ing by the result of an honest Dem
ocratic convention"

Special to the Register
NEW MARTINSVILLE, w. Va,
April 14.-The Republicans of this
district held large convention this
afternoon and appointed delegates to
the various conventions. The follow
ing delegates were appointed:
State Convention-J. NJ. Francis,
William Ankrom and d. w. Games.
COMPASSIONATE E. McEldowney, f.
D. Lappert and e. A. McCaskey. Sen
atorial-J. W. McIntire, Fred Har-

P. D. Morris, T. P. Jacobs and T. II.
Downing. There were 81 present. The
delegates to the Congressional conven-
ton were instructed to vote for B. B..
Dovener.
(This information is discredited
somewhat by the statement of a
friend of Judge Campbell in this city
that at least one of the Congressional
delegates is one of the Judges closest
friends and hardest workers. A tele-
gram received early this morning, is
to the effect that Judge Campbell car
ried three of the northern districts of
Wetzel county. Grant. Church and
Clay, and that Centre district, while
in doubt, will probably support him.

PITTSBURG, Pa, April 14.-Sus-
pense and anxiety still prevail as far
as the coal mining situation in the
Pittsburg district is concerned. The
miners, after hot session of three
days, have adjourned. The only thing
accomplished is the appointment Of
a new committee to take up the prin-
cipal bone of contention-the day
wage scale. The new committee which
is composed OF men supposed to rep
resent the dissatisfied element, is ex-
pected to again confer with the Off
Gals of the coal companies and make
a report early in the week.
With the appointment of the new
committee, the officials, the executive
board, and the original scale committee
are ignored. The delegates have run
away from the officials. They think
they can make better settlement, and
the result cannot be conjectured. In
the meantime some of the men will
be at work Monday morning, while
a large numebr will be idle. pending the
report of the new committee Fears
are entertained that the dissatisfac-
ton will spread, and the coal supply
be materially reduced.
When the convention went into ses-
sion to-day, the committee, appointed
yesterday made its report. 1t was TO
the effect that the two coal companies
will pay the scale as agreed upon ac-
cording to their Interpretation. The
operators insist on taking the Hook
ing Valley scale as a basis, which the
workers insist in giving the day men
an advance of 20 per cent The coal
companies agreed to rectify any just
causes for complaint They further
insisted on the adoption OF the run Of
mine system when the contracts for
the coal supply demanded it

A serious War Rumor.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 1.-THE
Gar and Czarina started last evening
for Moscow.
Extraordinarily persistent rumors
are current in Moscow that on Russian
Easter Sunday the Tar will issue a
manifesto containing an ul.imatum to
Great Britain demanding that she con-
elude peace with the Beers forthwith
under threat of occupying Cabul and
Herat if Great Britain fails to comply.
This report is connected by some per-
sons with the fact that no reservistg
are at present allowed to take unllm-
tied leave. but probably the orders to
the reseryists are connected with the
projected summer manoeuvres in the
central provinces in which FOG, 900
troops will participate and at which
Emperor William is expected to be
present.

GENERAL WHITES RETURN.
The Gallant Defender of Ladysmith
Receives Grand Welcome at
Southampton.

LONDON, April 1.-THE scenes
which greeted Sir George White, when
the steamer Dunvegan Castle, on which
he left Cape Town March 2Sth reach
ed Southampton this afternoon, must
have convinced him of the admiration
of his countrymen for his gallant de-
Tense of Ladysmith during the long
and trying seige of that place. From
early morning crowds collected by
thousands in the neighborhood of the
docks. The buildings in the vicinity
were gaily decorated with bunting in
honor of the occasion and all the pub
lie institutions were covered with
flags. The harbor presented a brilliant
and animated scene.
Lady White, the Mayor and the
members of the corporation in their
state robes, uniformed soldiers and
sailors and a number of privileged
guests awaited the gallant defender
of Ladysmith.
AS the steamer doomed up in the
distance with Gen. White standing on
the bridge, the enthusiasm of the
waiting multitude broke loose and
storm of cheering and singing and
the sounding of sirens and whistles
intermingled uninterruptedly until Sir
George landed at 2:30 p. m.
The greeting between husband and
wife being over, Gen. White had to
undergo much handshaking and the
receiving of congratulations from per-
sonal friends before he reached the
dock shed, where the municipal auth
critics presented him with an elabor-
ately Illuminated address Of welcome.
expressing profound admiration at his
noble and successful efforts to uphold
and maintain the honor and dignity of
the empire in distant Natal. which
have won the lasting admiration of
the civilized world
Gen. White was visibly moved ut
the warmth of his reception. In ac-
knowledging the address he referred
with admiration to his gallant garri-
son, every one of whom. he said, from
Gen. Hunter to the brave trumpeter,
had behaved magnifcently
Gen. White and Lady White proceed
ed to Nettley, where the General will
recuperate.
Hundreds of congratulatory teIe-
grams awaited Sir George on his ar
rival at Southampton, including one
from Queen Victoria making an in
quiry as to his health.
