WEST VIRGINIA STORMS.
Rain and Snow Cause Floods in the
Rivers.

Wheeling, w. Va, Apdil 4.-Reports
from all parts of West Virginia which
have been kept back by broken wires,
tell of severe snow, rain and wind storms
There was a heavy fall of snow all over
the state except in the southeastern part
where there was a heavy rain instead
eat alarm is felt here and at down river
points lest there be flood stage in the
ONO. The reports received do not war
rant such fears, but the alarm is caused
by fears that reports kept back by bad
wires may be more disquieting. All the
small streams in the upper part of the
state are full and lumber men are suf-
fer;ng great losses. Little Kanawha is
rising from headwaters. At Burnsville
the river is raging torrent. At Grants
vile this morning the stage was q feet
with 33 feet expected, which will do great
damage. At that time logs from the up
re, river tributaries which are usually
rated, were passing Grantsvile at the
,ate of 1,s00 an hour. Many of these will
h. caught before they reach the Ohio, but
thousands will be lost.
reports from Grafton, Weston, Sutton,
Addison, Clarksburg, Morgantown, Fair
mont, Grantsville, Creston and other in
terror points tell Of from 11s to 2h inches
of precipitation, raging rivers and dam
age to low lying property.

HOW RUSSIA BUILT
UP her SHIPPING
AMAZING SUCCESS OF GOVERN
MENT SUBSIDIES IN HELP
ING BUSINESS.

Washington. April A recent rapid
development in the Russian merchant
marine is recorded in a report received
at the state department from Consul
Eehle at Stettin. Her merchant fleet,
which few years ago consisted of
few steamers and about 200 Finnish sail
ing ships, now numbers more than three
thousand steamships. including river
steamers. An imperial ukase recently
put in force limited the Russian coast
trade to her own steamers. This covers
the trade between European and Asiatic
Russia, but owing to the heavy war de-
lnand in Asiatic Russia this part of the
empire is temporarily exempt from the
decree However, just as soon as this
demand ceases. it is certain that the ex-
emption will be withdrawn and the coast
trade law strictly enforced.
For several years, it is said Russia
has paid all the Suez canal dues on her
steamers bound from European to Asiatic
Russia and on her steamers bound to any
Asiatic foreign port the empire pays
tWo-thrds of the canal dues. In MANY
other ways government aid is extended
to the merchant marine. From the first

sels, imported in the whole and intended
for external navigation, are duty free

LARGEST SHIP
EVER BUILT
NEW OCEAN MONSTER TAKES TO
THE WATER.
A GREAT EMIGRANT CARRIER
THE CELTIC WILL BRING VAST
ARMIES OF EMIGRANTs
TO AMERICA.

Belfast, April 1.-THE new White Star
Line steamer Celtic, the largest vessel
ever built, was successfully launched
here this morning in the presence of a
large and representative gathering.
The christening was performed by the
marchoness of Dufferin.
Among the prominent persons who par.
ticipated in the ceremony were the
Countess Cadogan, wife of the lord lieu
tenant of Ireland; the the marquis and
marchioness Of Dufferin, the marquis
and marchioness of Londonderry, and
the earl and countess Of Haftesbury.
The arrangements for the launching
We're similar to those of the Oceanic, and
the new vessel gided from the ways and
was pulled up within her own length by
dorpping three pairs of anchors. The
launching occurred amidst enthusiastic
cheers of the people and the blowing of
sirens and fog horns.
The Celtic's dimensions are as follows:
Length 6S0.9 feet; beam IS feet; depth
AL feet; gross tonnage 20,SSO; not tom
mage 1860. The Celtic will have dis
Placement of $4,000 tons and is not in
tended for speed. She is designed as an
emigrant carrier and will comfortably
carry LOO emigrants.
The Celtic has nine decks and capacity
for 1853 passengers. She will carry a
crew of 335 men. Her tonnage is 5000
greater than that of the Oceanic and
nearly double that of the Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse, and her displacement
is 12.500 greater than that of the latter
vessel, while her displacement and ton
mage is 10000 over that of the Great
Eastern.

ACU|NALD0 MAY
VISIT PRESIDENT
BUT THE PRESIDENT NEED NOT
ASK HIM AS A SPECIAL
FAVOR.

Chicago April A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The report from Manila that the presi-
dent has invited Aguinaldo to visit the
United States and that he will sail from
Manila on April 15, cannot be verified
here, but the fact that the report is not
received with surprise or positively de-
MED, justifies the impression given that
the suggestion is one originating in
Manila and that it may have been urged
upon the war department and the presl-
dent for early acceptance. Attention is
directed by the war department to the
fact that great confidence has been
placed upon the recommendations of the
military authorities and the Philippine
commission in dealing with problems as
they have arisen and If General Mac
Arthur has asked that Aguinado be
allowed to come to Washington to see
the president. it is not denied that there
may be great probabilities that tho
recommendation will be carried out.

FRANCE FEARS NO FOES.
Neither the Yellow Nor the Yankee
Perils Alarm Her.

Paris. April AT meeting of the
society Of merchants and manufacturers
of France, the chief speaker, NJ Lew.
banker, referring to the economic
situation. opposed the idea of the yellow
perip' in trade. He pointed out that Chi
ma and Japan were enormously increasing
their imports while their exports Were
almost stationary.
AS to the competition from the United
states, Mr.. Levy sail they were rendering
a great service in sending to France their.
raw products. The competition in manu-i
factured articles alone had to be reckoned
with and should be met by certain fiscal
changes favorable to French products and
by removing restrictions on business
transactions. France need fear neither
the yellow nor the Yankee peril.

WILL STRIKE FOR
RECOGNITION
MINERS WILL NOT SETTLE DOWN
UNTIL UNION Is FULLY
RECOGNIZED,

New York, April 4.-The Times says:
Henry White, general secretary of the
United Mine Workers, is authority for
the statement that in spite of the ap-
parent success of the mission Of John
Mitchell, president of the mine workers,
to this city, and of the Rev. E. S. Phil
lips in the cause of peace, the trouble
with the miners is not over yet. See.
retary White went to Chicago while
Mitchell was in this city, to attend
convention Of the National Civic Feder-
alton, a body organized with the object
Of arbitrating disputes between employ
ers and employees, which was to be held
in Chicago on March %. When he
reached Chicago he found that the con-
vention was postponed until April %.
White then went to the anthracite
mining district and met Mitchell in
Scranton after the latter had returned
from New York. White addressed sew
eral meetings of miners in Scranton
Wilkesbarre and other places and re-
turned to this city last night, where he
made the following statement:
II found the miners very much dis.
satisfied over the fact that the operators
have not agreed to recognize their union.
While Mitchell has the men apparently
under control they were evidently much
disappointed at the result of his mission
to New York. They are, in my belief,
preparing for a fight on the question of
recognition OF the union, and while it
may not take place Immediately, a strike
of miners in the entire anthracite dis
trict is. in my opinion, inevitable, unless
the union is recognized. 1 would not
like to see such strike, but, judging
from the manner Of the miners, the
trouble is by no means over"

Chardon, O., April A gang of half
dozen robbers early to-day blew open the
safe of the Citizens Savings bank here,
and after a desperate fight with Night
Waterman Pomeroy and a citizen, suc-
ceeded In making their escape. 1t is be-
lieved the robbers secured less than 5000.
Night Watchman Pomeroy discovered
the men at work in the bank. He was
seiged, bound and gagged, but not until
he had shot one of the burglars. DIR.
Hadson, who lives near the bank was
aroused by the noise and came to the
scene. He was also seized and tied hand
and foot. 1t required three big charges
of dynamite to blow the safe door off.
After completing their work the robbers
left town on a hand car.
Early to-day two men were arrested
at Willoughby upon the charge of he.

the Chardon bank.
The robbers succeeded in gaining en-
trance to only one compartment of the
big safe. In another part. which was
rot reached, it is said that nearly $780,
600 was stored.
Pomeroy is badly used up. After he
shot one of the burglars he was un-
mercifuly clubbed over the head After
being bound and gagged, the watchman
was dragged into the bank. He lay there
witness to all the operations
At each explosion the robbers retired
to places of safety. Pomeroy lay in an

New York April 4.-Word has been
received here that the steamer Chester
w. Chaplin, of the New Haven Steam
boat line running between Providence
and New York, went ashore on Patch
ince island, in Narragansett bay, about
o'clock last night during heavy fog
The steamer was bound from Providence
with a large number of passengers. The
passengers were taken eff by two tugs
and steamer and will be forwarded to
New York by train. The line is con-
trolled by the New York. New Haven
& Hartford Railroad company.
The Chester w. Chaplin is the latest
addition to the New Haven line She is

tons gross and is 312 feet long, ga feet
Lean and 1863 feet deep.
Providence, r. T., April 4-The Chaplin
went ashore about 9:15 p. m. as she was
feeling her way out from Providence,
but it was several hours before the news
vas received in this city. At first it
was thought the steamer could release
herself, as she was proceeding at slow
speed, but after several trials with re-
versed engines the efforts We're discon-
tinued and two of the steamers officers
started in a small boat for Warwick
lighthouse, on the west shore Of the bay,
whence they communicated with the
city by telephone.
AS soon as possible two of the Prov
i6ence Boat company's tugs We're dis
patched to the island. The Providence,
Fall River & Newport line also sent the
Bay Queen from New York to take off
the passengers and to render any other
service possible. The tugs took posi-
tions on either side of the Chaplin, and
for several hours they strained and
pulled on the stranded craft in an effort
to move her. All efforts were fruitless

ANASIAs OUT AYNANIAsED.

Were Congressman Grosvenor an
igsorant man u~nacquainied With the
facts of history there might be some
excuse for the statement made by him
that Washington did rot try for the
presidency a third time for fear be
would be defeated. AS a student Of
history and a man who has been IN
politics for a number of years, Gros-
venor must have known that Washing
ton was the idol of the country and
that John Adams Of Massachusetts
who succeeded Washington was of the
same party to which Washington be-
longed and a much weaker mar
politically than Washington There
Is no warrant Of fact in the political
history of W~ashingtOn's time TO justify
so Hnwarranted q distortion of the
truth. Grosvenor's efforts, for politi-
cal purposes, to trsduce the memory
of so nnsullied q name as that of
Washington, is one of the smallest,
meanest, most contemplate pieces of
political %chicsnery that this country
has heard of for years. A mai whose
silver locks show that before many
more winters have come and gone be
will be called to answer for the deeds
of this life, should handle the truth
more reyeren,ly than he has done in
this case. Were Ananias t o cone to
congress he would not be in it with
the hoary headed member from Ohio.
