kEYSER, w. Va. August 20.-The
First West Virginia Regiment National
Guards is camping tonight on the old
camp grounds where almost 40 years
ago their fathers pitched their tents.
Their camp is located at the base of
Port Hill. where the remains OF Fort
Fuller are yet to be seen. The en-
campment period has been heightened
from five to seven days and the regI-
ment win not break camp until Mon
day, August 27th.
Nine companies, about five hundred
men, arrived to-day and are tonight
busily engaged in making arrange
ments for the week of pleasure as the
encampment promises to be,
The regiment is commanded by Col
c. l.. Smith, of Fairmont, and Lieut.
Col. R. D. Ash. OF Glover's Gap. The
exercises for the week viii consist OF
guard mount. company, battalion and
regimental drills.
Company A, the splendid Wheeling
aggregation, arrived with six others
from the western parts of the State at
O'Clock this evening, reporting very
pleasant trip.
Company A was the only company
having a train guard until the spe-
eial arrived at Grafton, where Col.
Smith and Major Scott with the staff
got on, when these officers ordered ev-
cry company to have a guard. Be-
fore this, the Wheeling boys felt it an
unnecessary hardship, but they were
too much pleased with the comph-
ments of the officers to regret having
had the guard during the entire trip.
At o'clock tonight a strict guard
was ordered and the guard for tonight
is in charge of Sergeant Pollock, OF
Company A, the members Of the guard
being Privates Angus, Clovis, Demult
and Dobbs, of the same company.
The Wheeling boys all arrived here
well and happy and are enjoying them
selves despite the fact that at o'clock
they have not yet completed pitching
their tents and have had no supper.

PITTSBURG, Pa, August 20.-At the
instance of the American Window
Glass Company, the tiatteners met tho
manufacturers to-day in a final effort
to adjust the wage scale for the COM
ing fire. The effort was a failure and
the fiatteners are now on strike. There
seems to be- no hope of settlement and
general shut down IS probable, al
though the company officials claim they
will be able to start factories on Sep
TENDER LIST without the union men.
AT the conference to-day the tiatten
ers said that rather than have a strike
they would modify their demand two
points; that is, they would accept a
four per cent advance instead of the six
per cent asked at first. The manufac-
turers replied>that one-twentieth of l
per cent advance would not be granted,
and the conference broke up after three
hours of hot argument. The fiattoners
will meet the Independent manufactur-
ers the latter part of this week. The
employment of 10000 skilled workmen
and several thousand others depend on
the success or failure of the combine to
start its factories without union fiat

LONDON, Aug. 20.-The Japanese
cavalry has left Picking in pursuit of
the Dowager Empress and her court,
according to kilograms from the north
received at Shanghai by Chinese Of
ficials. These dispatches aver that the
Empress and her treasure train, pro
tected by 10000 troops, have already
arrived at Wu-Tai-San, in Shan-Si
Province.
The field telegraph north of Yang
Tsun is interrupted and nothing under
Picking date appears to have reached
Yang-Tsun since August II. Heavy
rains have been falling in the Province
Of Pe-Chi-Li.
The landing of the British troops at
Shanghai is not causing excitement
among the natives. A detachment of
one hundred French marines landed
there to-day. A customs cruiser is re-
ported to have gone to Tien-Tsin to
take away the foreigners rescued from
Picking.
Many influential Chinese have in
terested themselves in the fate of a
Chinaman sentenced by an English
court at Hong Kong to six months i'm
prisonment at hard labor because he
was a member of the Triad Society.
