tion as to the effect of the CIayton-Bul-
wer treaty. He took issue with Senator
Teller as to the purport of the first
clause of that treaty, claiming that 1t
applied only to Great Britains right to
fortify the Nicaragua caHal itself. Sen
ator Teller replied at some length, as
serting that the provision was of more
general Importance, as, he said, any one
could ascertain for himself by reading
President Buchanans views upon the
subject when he was minister to Eng
land. The declsI alton then made showed
plainly, he said, that England had at
tempted to extend her rights beyond the
immediate vicinity of the canal. MIR.
Teller then proceeded to again elaborate
his views upon the general subject, re-
peating his declaration that the United
States should construct the canal if at
ALL regardless of the English position,
and without going through the formal
ity of ratifying the pending treaty.
During the day speeches were made
by Sena tors Money, Stewart, Frye and
others. Senator Stewart announced that
he was for the treaty without amend
ment, and Senator Money that he was
against tre treaty in any form.
The possibility of Secretary Hays re-
signing in case the foreign relations
committee amendment to the treaty
should prevail, having been alluded to,
Senator Frye said he was in position to
make official denial of a report. The
secretary had no such intention. Mr..
Frye announced himself as favorable to
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
Senator Chandler asked Senator Frye
to make Secretary Hays position with
reference to resigning public, but the
Maine senat tor declined, saying that he
was only authorized to make the state
ment to the senate. Mr.. Chandler re-
torted that to do that was equivalent to
giving it to the public, and the senate
then lapsed into a discussion of the ways
in which their executive sessions get into
the newspapers.
Without resuming business in open ses-
sion the senate at sos p. M, adjourned.

There are about 100 other general
pension bills and flood of private bills.
The correspondent above quoted
naively remarks Considering the war
with Spain is scarcely over and that
10000 claims have already been filed
from this war, it seems that the ex-
pected reduction in payment of pen
sions is still far off. This is self-evi-
dent.
Pension Commissioner Evans states
that claims for widows and orphans of
soldiers in the civil war and the claims
for pensions due to the late Spanish
war are coming in as fast as the pen
sion roll is diminished by the deaths of
veterans of the civil war. This will be
increased by the addition of their wild
ows and the veterans of the late war,
so that the payment of pensions at the
rate of s150,00O 600 annually promises
to continue for many years. Although
the annual revenues of the country are
now increased by 5000, 100000 from the
Spanish war revenue tax expenditures
for pensions still consume % per cent.
OF the governments entire gross re-
ceipts.
And the Spanish war pension appli-
cations have only begun to come in and
IN some instances over one-fourth of an
entire regiment file applications.
And the war in the deadly Philippines
climate where disease is rampant is yet
to be heard from
Uncle Sam probably will be lucky if
his annual pension expenditures soon do
not exceed S150,000, 900.

"NOT A CENT TO RENEGADE AMER
ICANISM.-

The report that Andrew Carnegie
had put down his name for a subscrip-
ton of $4,000 TO the Hanna-McKinley
imperial campaign fund of 1900 was
evidently intended to tickle the famous
and wealthy philanthropist with view
to causing that gcStleman to make the
report good. But it appears to have
had the opposite effect of arousing Mr..
Carnegie to high pitch of indignation
and doubtless the circulators of the re-
port wish they had not been so hasty
in jingling- Mr.. Carnegies money in
the imperial campaign hat in advance.
There's not word of truth in the

is true to the principles that have made
their country great, then | would sub

mits the party to policy to which 1
should be unalterably and uncompro-

AS the Republican party-that is,
Hanna, Mckinley & Co, who are the
whole thing-are already committed to
uncompromising Imperialism, or rene
gade Americanism, as Mr.. Carnegie
puts it. and could not now retrace their
steps if they wanted to, which they
don't. it is clear that the Hanna slush
fund of 1900 will not get any of Mr..
Carnegie's cash, but must depend
wholly upon the benefciaries of the ad-
ministration, the trusts, and Mr.. Nc

F. DEMOCRATIC DANIEL

baltimore has a new Democratic
Mayor, who is causing the politicians
and barnacles on the government OF
that city much worry and distress.
This new Democratic Mayor is YER
liable iconoclast in that he proposes. to
run the city government of Baltimore
irrespective of the approval OF the pol
iticians.
Like Wheeling, Baltimore is up
against financial problem through
permitting its expenditures to outrun
its receipts. But unlike the ringsters
who control the finances of Wheeling,
the new Democratic Mayor of Baiti-
more proposes to meet the situation by
cutting down expenditures to fit the
revenue!
Now, whoever heard of such thing
before in American municipal govern
ment? Why the very thought is
enough to give the average machine
pOlltlclan heart trouble.
But the new Democratic Mayor of
Baltimore is in earnest. He has &C
tually engaged in the iconoclastic, not
to say. sacrilegious, work of CUTTING
DOWN THE SALARY LISTS! !!
Think of it! Suppose such a thing
were attempted here in Wheeling
But why pursue such chimerical sug-
gestions? Imagine if you can the City
Hall ring entertaining such a wild
proposition as cutting municipal ex-
penditures- especially salaries-to the
level of revenuesi
Such anarchistic methods may pre-
vail in Baltimore under her new Dem
ocratic reform Mayor, but it isn't the
Wheeling method. Not much. Here
when expenditures outrun receipts, a
new bond issue, or a refunding scheme
to postpone payment on the debt is
proposed or the tax rate is inched up
few notches and the taxpayer is made
to stand the difference is what
taxpayers are for. you know. But cut
the machine salary list? Salaries may
be increased, but never reduced, Per-
ish the thought! The machine must
live and live as well as the taxpayers
will stand.

THREE FIRES AT MANNINGTON.
One of The Blazes of Serious
Nature.


Special to the Register.
MANNINGTON, w. Va, January A.
Twice since dark last night has the
fire department been called cut, ard in
both cases the blaze was caused from
irregularities in the gas pressure
The first blaze was in the ware house
of E. G. Martin, which was stored with
-four and other general merchandise,
and was caused by defective flue ar
rangement of an adjoining building, as
is usual in such cases lately, owned
by Jake Ice, noted character about
town, who has somehow come into pos
session of some tenement property.
The prompt response of the fire de-
partment kept the loss to perhaps $25.
The blaze this morning, which oc-
Cured little after seven O'Clock, was
of a more serious nature. This time it
started in the kitchen Of the l. c.
Furbee residence, on Buffalo street,
and when discovered had gained con-
siderable Roadway.
The fire department was on hand
promptly, but the water plugs were
frozen and during the half hours de-
lay of thawing them out it looked as
if the entire building would be de-
stroyed.
The flames were gotten under con-
troll, however, and when the fire WAS
out Mr.. Furbee estimated his loss in
the building and stored provisions at
about $500.
The kitchen and rear porch were en-
tirely destroyed.
The fire is supposed TO have caught
from some clothing placed too near the
stove.

Unlimited PENSInNa

1t used to be the plea of the pension
attorneys, unctously uttered with a sigh
and the suggestion of tears. that A
grateful country would not long be bur
dened with the care Of the heroes dis
abled in its defence. And this which
seemed reasonable has always been a
sufficient answer to the few complaints
that have found voice on this score for
the ranks of the veterans have been ran
idly thinning.
But, while the latter fact is apparent
the sum total Of pensions on account of
the civil war that ended thirtv-fva
years ago instead of lessening actually
grows apace,
The number Of bills that already have
been introduced at this session of Con-
gress on account of pensions. of a pan

ENGLAND'S SUPFLY.
While 1t Is - Z to rejoice at
another's misfortune, Americans. es-
pecially American manufacturers COM
peting with the British in the worlds
markets and American producers OF
raw materials may view with complac-
ency the prospective exhaustion of the
British coal supply, which will act in
the near future as a serious handicap
to British supremacy in manufactures,
which she is already rapidly losing
through superior American genius and
enterprise.
1t is fact that England must soon
become largely dependent on the Unit
ed States for coal. To some extent
American mines are already supplying
the British navy, and the American
product is said to compare favorably
with the WEIGH coal. Coal prices, have
reached enormous figures in England,
having in some instances trebIed in the
past decade.
At the last meeting of the British
Institution of Mining Engineers, the
president stated that Great Britain S
coal beds were becoming exhausted
and that the great Lanarkshire field
would probably not last more than
dozen years. In the Midland district
all the profitable mines will be exhaust
ed in fifty years. The speaker said
the annual production was larger than
ever, being more than 200,000,000 tons
year. and that last year over 10000
900 tons were exported. He spoke of
South Wales as the only hope for ma
tive coal in the future and gave it as
his opinion that before many years
Great Britain would be practically de-
pendent upon the United States for
cheap coal, iron and steel.
Regardless of this warning given
early last year England still continues
to export coal in increasing quantities.
The great increase in the prices of
English coal is said to be due not to
prospective exhaustion of the supply,
but to the increased cost of mining at
deeper levels. And this increased cost
is in spite of the fact of improved ma
chinery that has greatly lessened the
cost of mining. Opposition to the in
PRODUCTION of machinery, by the way,
was the cause of the recent disastrous
strike of WEIGH coal miners, which
forced England to import thousands
of tons of Virginia and West Virginia
coal for her warships.
1t is a situation that may be viewed
as we have said with complacency in
the United States, and especially in
this great coal producing State of West
Virginia.
