AN INTERESTING SESSION
of the NJ. e, Seminary Board Prom-
Used.


Special to the Register.
PARKERSBURG, w. Va, May 90
The annual meeting of the West Vir-
GINA Methodist Episcopal Conference
Seminary will be held in a few days,
the exact date not having been fixed
yet. The seminary is at B~uckhannon
and trouble similar to that recently
passed through at the West Virginia
University seems to exist there. Rev.
S.. L. Boyers is the president Of the
seminary and against him a part of
the instructors are arrayed. There is
considerable feeling on both sides and
each side is demanding the removal
of the other. The meeting of the
Board will be awaited with considera-
BILE interest by friends OF the institu-
ton and of the M. E. church. A gen
tleman, who is interested in the affairs
of the institution, is authority for the
statement that a clean sweep will pro-
badly be made, the president and
most of the professors being removed
together. The efficiency of the insti-
tuition has been materially interfered
with and a change of some kind seems
to be necessary.

THE RING SUCCESSFUL


Special to the Register.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, May 90
The returns of the Republican primary
elections held in Kanawha county yes
terday are all in, with the exception of
four precincts. All of the ring slate
went through by majorities from three
hundred to one thousand. ]. H. Gates,
the candidate for Congress against
VIM Seymour Edwards, carried the
county by n thousand majority. The
other ring candidates that received
comfortable majorities are: For the
Legislature, Malcolm jackson, L. A.
Martin, E. G. Colcord and Shelton
Johnson. For sheriff, John A. Jarrett.
For prosecuting attorney. Captain S. B.
Avis. For county commissioner, A. C.
Shaver. The best class of the Republi-
cans of the county were with the anti
ring candidates, and If there had been
a fair election they would all have been
elecsed, but the primary was a farce.
The ring had plenty of money, and
they organized a most successful
scheme of wholesale bribery. They
bought many of the commissioners and
poll clerks, and bought the colored
voters like sheep. The ring and its
methods are being severely denounced
by the self respecting Republicans of
the county, and they have declared
their purpose of defeating the ring can
didates at the election in November.

blown almost through his head. His

his brains to escape. For a time he
suffered the most excruciating agony,
but he soon became unconscious. He
was about rs years of age and married.

GOLDEN'S STORY.
His Alleged Revelations Regarding
Goebels Assassination Cause
q Great Sensation.

Louisville KY, March 21.-The
stories growing out of the conference
between Sergt. F. Wharton Golden, of
the Barbourville company of state mill
tia, and the attorneys who are manag-
ing the investigation of the assassina-
ton of Gov. Goebel, have caused a SEN
sation throughout the state. Golden
will be placed on the stand by the prose-
cution in the trial of the persons al
ready arrested for alleged completely
in the assassina ton, but information
as to the exact nature of the testimony
he is expected to give is lacking.
The story is published that Golden
has divulgcd to the attorneys the
name of the man who fired the shots
that killed Gov. Goebel. The person
mentioned is mulatto who formerly
lived at Winchester, was prominent in
the French-Eversole feud, and is known
as dead shot. This man is now sup
posed to be in the wilds of one of the
mountain counties. Evidence that he
was in Frankfort at the time of the as
sassination was found among papers
taken from w. H. Culton, clerk in the
auditors Office, when the latter was
arrested week or so ago, on warrant
charging him with being an accessory
to the murder

IN THE PHILIPPINES
Mia Is Considered Most Trouble
some Center in the Situation,

Manila, March, 10. - Gen. Otis con-
siders Manila the most troublesome
center in the situation to-day. The in
surgent junta here, in conjunction
with that in Hong-Kong, is growing
active. The military authorities have
been forced to put stop to Mabini' in
tercouse with the public. The local
and foreign press considers his recent
utterances calculated to incite Fill
ipinos to continued revolt and preiu-
dicial to American control.
In the province of Albay the insur-
gents have ceased harassing the Amer
leans, owing, it is reported, to a lack
OF ammunition, but they continue raw
aging the country by burning and loot
ing. The natives are firing of this sort
OF thing and threaten to turn against
the marauders. Already the towns
people of Legaspi, Albay and Donzol
are slowly returning to their homes.
Gen. Kobbe has opened 20 ports in the
southern part of Luzon and in the is
lands OF Samar and Leyte, the result of
which is to stimulate trade there, a.
though only temporarily, as the coun-
try opened is reproductive and appar-
emily nonconsuming. Owing to the po-
itical conditions of the last IL months
products accumulated during the
blockade. These will be shipped to Ma
Mia and then the ports will be empty.
