it will be many months before the tribes
of the Dattis can be subdued.

THE OLD YIRGIN[A DEBT.

The recent listing on the stock ex-
change of about $500, 600 more Of the
certificates of Brown Brothers for de-
posts with the committee of which John
Crosby Brown is chairman calls atten-
ton to the progress made toward a set
Element of the One-third of the debt OF
Virginia for which she issued back GER
tifcates at the time she settled with her
creditors. These certificates represented
the share of Virginia's debt which she
said should be paid by West Virginia,
the two present States having been until
1861 one State. During their period Of
unity large sums of money had been ex-
pended in developing the territory now
in West Virginia, and the original State
of Virginia had issued her bonds on this
account
West Virginia has always recognized
her liability for part of the debt, adj
hitting it at the time she pleaded for
Statehood, and promising to pay the
debt before contracting another, but she
has failed to meet Virginias efforts to
fix the amount Of the debt. Virginia
fixed upon one-third of fhe entire debt
as West Virginia's share, after many
years of delay, and issued certificates to
her creditors in 1871. Upon the prom
Use of Virginia the bondholders accepted
the certificates, surrendering their origi-
nal bonds. Various COMMITTEES were
formed, and failed to accomplish an adj
iustment of the difficulty, and legislation
BY Congress for a suit was repealed when
it became apparent that suit on behalf
of original bondholders would not bene-
fit the holders of the certificates.
John Crosby Browns committee has
undertaken to obtain a settlement by
having Virginia bring a suit against
West Virginia for one-third of the origi-
nal debt, and a suit was authorized by
act of the Virginia legislature in 1900.
Mr.. Browns committee is working to
obtain a speedy prosecution of the suit,
and certificates in the amount of over
so, 900, 900 have been deposited to the
committees credit. A settlement of the
debt, it is said, would be welcomed by
the people of West Virginia. New York
Tribune.

In AN article concerning the Virginia
debt taken from the New YORK Tribune
and published in the Gazette 1t Is
stated that "West Virginia has always
recognized her liability for part OF the
debt admitting it at the time she
pleaded for statehood, and promising to
nav the debt before contracting another,
but she has failed to meet Virginia :
efforts to fix the amount of the debt
A settlement of the debt, 1t Is
said would be welcomed by the people OF
West Virginia" This is news to people
in this section of the country who are
familiar with the State debt settlement
Since that settlement was made and one
third of the debt most justly appornoned
to West Virginia, the people OF that
State have in and out of season refused
TO recognize one cent OF the lndeoted~
ness and resolutions to this effect have
more than once been passed by her legis-
Iature. Judging the future by the past
the holders of West Virginia certificates
of indebtedness can see no chance Of ever
getting one cent of their money, for a
quarter of century has passed since the
Virginia debt settlement was made and
instead of West Virginia paying her
portion of the debt she has persistently
refused even to acknowledge her In
debtedness-and she never will unless
the federal courts force her to do SO, and
there is little hope of that.

SENATOR LODGE, Of Massachusetts,,
closed the campaign in Maine Saturday
night with a speech in which he said
that there was not the least objection to
% per cent. of the trusts now in exist
ence and to undertake to destroy them
by rash Hesitation would bring on at the
present time the most disastrous bust
ness panic that could be imagined. The
administration appears to be paving the
way to come out squarely in favor of
further protecting the trust.

CHAIRMAN GRIGGs, OF the democratic
congressional committee, has given out a
statement propos of prevailing prices
and the subject ofprosperity. He shows
that within the last few years the prices
of many necessaries of life produced by
trusts have increased to degree in ex-
cess of the average increase in wages,
This has resulted in serious reduction
in the income of the wage-earner, for
which the trusts are justly to blame, and
this should put an efectual stop to the
republican talk of prosperity" aud

THROUGH THE RAPIDS.
hundred persons yesterday afternoon
saw Charles Alexander Percy in boat
of his own construction pass safely
through the whirlpool and the toughest
portion of the Niagara river. A
short distance above the rapids Percy
started from the New York shore and
pulled out to the centre of the river.
Thence he rowed into the current that
sweeps with tremendous velocity through
the narrowest part of the Niagara gorge
Percy stood up in the cockpit and waved
flags as he passed under the bridges. He
then concealed himself in one of the air
tight compartments. The boat acted
nicely in the tossing waters. 1t kept
close to the center, little to the Cana
dian side, and, although it rolled heavi-
ly it did not turn over. When he
reached the whirlpool Percy came out OF
the air compartments and took the oars.
He was swept once around the boiling
waters of the poo.

Mr.. ROOSEVELT in his speech at
Wheeling, w. Va, on Saturday, again
gave his views concerning the trusts.
He said the control of trusts should not
be divided among the States, but should
be given to the national government and
that an amendment to the constitution
would probably have to be passed. Now
if trusts are not regulated until the Con
stitution is amended they will continue
to increase and multiply ad in6nitum,
and this Mr. Roosevelt knows full well.
The Presidents last utterances on this
subject but add strength to what Mr.
BRYAN has to say of him, which Is
ga republican must be dull indeed If he
cannot discover from the President
recent speeches that he has come to an
agreement with the trust magnates.

A DANGEROUS Tow. Passengers who
arrived at Fredericksburg yesterday
morning on the steamer Lancaster, of
the Weems line, report novel ex-
perience. When the steamer arrived at
Spillman's wharf, in the Rappahannock,
Saturday, a man, whose name was sub
sequently found to be Taylor, attached
his rowboat to the stern Of the steamer,
and in this rather perilous position start
ed with the steamer for the next wharf
Port ROYAL. An attempt was made to
cut the boat loose when he opened with
a six-shooter, and in a minute the rear
deck was cleared. Purser John Dare,
of the steamer, boldly went forward, but
another fusilade caused him to hustle
back to the saloon. All attempts to de-
tach the boat were frustrated in a like
manner, until no one dared to venture
on the deck. On arrivingat Port Royal
the man cut his boat loose and went on
his way with a whoop.

which should first leave the sledge and face
them. The heroic SONS refused to permit

About 40 wolves continued the chase, and +,
