NATIONAL GUARD APPROPRIATIONS.
Resources of the State Militia Almost
Doubled by II ecent Allowances.

The future Of the West Virginia
National Guards is at present brighter
than at any privious time in its his
tory. This condition is largely due to
the fact chat the available funds for
the wear are larger than they have
beer by almost one-half. The appro-
priation by the national government
to the national guard has been in
creased so that West Virginia mill
tia will receive in equipment TO the
value of about Sl3, 600, instead of
something like 50, 600, which has been
her share heretofore. The state leg
islature also increased the military
appropriation by over $40, 900 making
it $35, 600.
The effect of this increase of funds
will be the great Improvement of the
state troops. and many projects here
tofore out of the question will be
possible. The national appropria-
tion will permit the troops to be
armed and equipped in first class man
ner, while the States allowance will
permit of a more extended organiza-
ton and more efficient training.
1t is expected this year to hold a
brigade encampment which includes
the West Virginia regiments.
Heretofore under the provision for
paying troops while camped it has
been impossible TO mobilize all the
state troops at one time, owing to the
expense hence the battalion marches
of a few days, which for some years
have taken the place of the regular
encampment,.

JUDGESHlP FOR ATKINSON.
Secretary of State Dawson Say. the Ex-
Governor VIII GetIt.

A Washington dispatch to the
Parkerbsurg Seminal dated March Z,
says;
Hon. Vim. NJ. O. Dawson had an in
terview yesterday with President Nc
Kinley in the interest of Ex-Governor
Atkinson and last night Mr.. Dawson
said with emphasis hat Atkinson will
be appointed judge in the southern
judicial district of West Virginia. He
has no doubt about it. He learned
from the President that no appoint
ments under the Dayton bill will be
made until after July ] but he ex-
pressed the utmost confidence in Gov
ernor Atkinson being named for judge
at the proper time.
The interview with the President,
Mr.. Dawson said, was entirely salts
factory. Though, of course, he did
not obtain an absolute promise. No
body every gets such a promise from
President Mckinley in the matter of
public appointments. Mr.. Dawson
left last night for Charleston.
Governor Atkinson is in the city.
He said, in response to a question as
to his prospective ~judgeship, that he
had been greatly encouraged by what
he had learned since his arrival. He
would not express a positive opinion,
as he did not regard it as proper to
discuss chances so long in advance,
but it is evident he has confidence in
the outcome. He will leave for Char
lesion this evening.

the flames leaped merrily to and fro
over the interior of the building in
wild delight, defying the noble efforts
of the iremen.
AT noon all that remained to tell
the tale of the greatest fire Shepherds
town has had in years were tn
s%moulding embers and several of the
walls. The latter are now crumb-
ling.
The Shepherd College State Normal
School building was erected in the
year 1892 at a cost of about $50, 900.
The loss, however, is much greater.
1t was about the finest building in
Shepherdstown and its loss has caus-
ed much sorrow here. The building
is partly covered by insurance.
Over eighty-five pupils were enrol
led at the school. The school will
be continued IN the old building,
which still stands.

Says Long and Sampson Are at

Baltimore. July 2o.-GeneraI Felix
Agnus, publisher of the Baltimore
American, has telegraphed the follow
ing to President Mckinley:
William Mckinley Canton, o.;
Naclay's History OF the Navy is the
standard in use at the naval academy.
In the third volume just issued the
historian charges Rear Admiral Schley
with being a coward, a liar. caitiff,
an incompetent and insubordinate.
In an interview in the American this
morning Aaclay, the historian, who is
a navy department clerk, classed as a
laborer and attached to the Brooklyn
navy yard says that proofs of this
third volume, which should have told
the most glorious story in all our naval
annals, We're subn tilted to Secretary
Long and Admiral Sampson, and ap-
proved by them in advance of publ
cation; also that Long put him in MS
present position after he had read and
approved this scurrilous attack upon
Admiral Schley. These proofs were
also submitted to Admiral Dewey, who
refused to read them.
IF aught were needed to convince
any fair-ninded man that a clique in
the navy department has conspired to
traduce the hero of Santiago, and that
the conspiracy was carried into exc
cution while that brave and gallant
the fever-infested coasts of South
America, this should furnish it. VIII
you, Mr. President, in view Of all this,
sit quietly by and permit these con-
spirators to continue their diabolical
work? Every justice loving American
appeals to you to intervene in the
name and for the sake of fair play.
Next to being right ali the time, which
no man ever was, the best thing Is to
find out as soon as possible that you
are wrong and right yourself immedi-
ately. FELIX AGNUS,

MACLAY'S VERSION OF IT.

Il did not appreciate at the time I

now my intention to revise that por-
tion of the work that deals with the

and I must first be assured that they
are in error. The proofs were sub

the battle of Santiago. as well as to
Secretary Long. and received their ap-

THE END OF LOTUS.
Predicted That Chicago Club viii
Soon Have New Manager.

Chicago, July 2O.-Those on the in
side say positively that this is the last
year Tom Lotus viii manage the Chi
eago National league team Some even
doubt that he viii serve the season out
but the more conservative hint that the
contract will run to the end Of the
year.
President Hart's action in taking the
reins away from LOTUS and institutfng
changes in the club and reforms In the
rules governing the players is taken as
an indication of friction between the
two officials or at least of dissatisfac-
tiOn with the management of the club.
While Lotus has assented to the recent
reforms President Hart has done most
of the lecturing of players and is ap-
parently paving the way for a new
manager.
Confirming the story comes the infor-
nation that LOTUS is looking around
for a new berth in baseball, with eyes
probably cast toward the American
league.
