The Roanoke MayOralty.

Recently we referred to the fact that
our former townsman, Mr.. Joseph Stras,
was being urged by many citizens oi
Roanoke to become a candidate for mayor
ofthat city. We then expressed the opinion
that Roanoke could find no worthier or
better qualified man for the responsible
position. We do not wish to be consid-
cred intrusive or disposed to dictate TO the
citizens Of tn" Magic City," but We again
assert that these people will never regret 1t
if they make him their mayor. MIR. Stras
is peculiarly equipped for such position.
He is we'll trained in the law, for some
years having practiced the profession, and
since his retirement from the bar has been
actively engaged IN commercial pursuits
His splendid moral character and genial
disposition would add greatly to the dig
nifty of the position, and give assurance Of
an honest and popular administration. He
is man that men of all parties can sup.
port With credit TO themselves;and we hope
after the coming election to congratulate
him and the people of Roanoke on his
elevation to the mayoralty.

LOCAL ITEMS
WHAT HAS RECENTLY TRANSFERRED
IN THE COUNTIES OF THIS
SECTI0N.

Major H. Z. Wood, who was stricken
with paralysis several months ago, is re-.
ported to have about recovered bis usual
health. Last December he went to a
Sanltarium at Louisville. KY, for treat
ment, and he has written to his friends at
Bristol that he feels as well as be ever did.
The town council of Marion, Va, has
granted a franchise to another telephone
company to erect and operate telephone
line in that town. This will result in there
being rival lines. The organization Of
new telephone company grew out Of a
recent effort of the company already doing
business in that town to advance the
prices or rents to subscribers.
The mayor of Radford, Mr.. w. D.
Vaughan, has written communication to
the Blue6eld Telegraph denying state
ment made in that paper that "smallpox
was epidemic in Radford." The mayor
says there have been but three cases in
the town, two negroes who went there
from the coal fields aud Blue6eld and one
small white child. At the present time
he says there is but one case at Radford.
Captain Robert Crockett, a gallant ex'
Confederate soldier and prominent lawyer,
died at his home at Wythevile on the
18th inst. from acute Bright's disease. He
was in bis 65th year and for the past forty
years had been prominent man in Wythe
county. Before the Civil War he gradua.
ted at Emory and Henry College, and had
commenced the practice Of law. When
the war came on he volunteered as a mem:
Der of the "Wythe Grays" and was a very
gallant soldier. At the second battle Of
Manassas he was severely wounded in the
thigh, and was thereby incapacitated for
further active service in the regular army.
For ten years after the war he was a great
sufferer from his wound, carrying the bui-
let which inflicted it for that time in bis
person. Captain Crockett was an able
lawyer and a gallant gentleman. His old
comrades and friends will deeply regret
his death.

1000 PERSONS PERISHED.
Terrible Result Of an Earthquake In
Transcaueasia.

Baku, Transcaucasia, Feb. 17.-Details
which are slowly arriving at Baku from
Shamaka show that two thousand persons,
mostly women and children, perisbed as
the result of the earthquake there last
week, and that four Thousand houses were
destroyed.
Thirty.four villages Of the country sur
rounding Shamaka also suffered.
To add to the terrors of the neighbor-
hood, a volcano near the village Of Mara.
sy, eastward of Shamaka, has broken out
into active eruption. A great crevasse has
appeared, whence immense flames and
streams of lava are being thrown out. The
course of the river Geonchaika has been
altered in consequence ofits being damned
with earth which had been dislodged by
the earthquake.
Battalions of guards and detacllments Of
sappers, with tents, have been dispatched
to Shamaks to aid in the woik of rescue.

public spirited and enterprising place.
Until two years ago the town was so poor
ly lighted that it was difficult for pedestri-
ans to get about at night in the most fa-
vored places, while most Of the town was
at night wrapped in total darkness.
Certain gentlemen undertook to relieve
this very disagreeable condition, and put
in an electric light plant. Since that time
our streets have been we'll lighted, secur-
ing safety to both limb and property. The
electric lights have been great benefit to
the town, but have not proved very prof.
table investment for those who placed
their means in the enterprise. We fear a
number OF our citizens have not shown
the public spirit they should have done,
and have not contributed their share TO
the enterprise. A number have not taken
the lights. They have not only been der
elict in public duty, but they have de-
prived their wives and homes Of one OF
the greatest comforts that has been in
troduced in modern housekeeping. 1t is
true that the electric lights cost more than
oil lamps, but the time and labor they
save for the already over.worked house
wives vastly more than compensates for
the little cost added. We hope that all
the citizens will think the matter over and
give tie Messrs. Spotts a more liberal sup
port than has heretofore been accorded
their electric light plant.
Since the light plant has been in opera.
ton there has been only one occasion when
the lights were of for the entire night,
and the people well remember what se-
rious discomfort it was. Suppose We
should he permanently without the lights2

WAR TAX REPEAL TO BE RUSHED
Democrats Protesting Holly Against a
Choking Debate.

Washington, d. c., Feb. l7.-Just prior
to the assembling of the house today, the
committee on rules agreed upon the form
of special rule for the consideration Of
the wal tax repeal bill, by the terms OF
which it may be brought to a vote at 4
O'Clock tomorrow.
Mr.. Dalzell, from the committee on
rules, presented the special order agreed
upon by that committee. MIR. Dalzell ex-
planned the effect of the rule.
Mr.. Underwood, of Alabama, also of
the committee on rules, protested against
the adoption of the rule, not, he said, be-
cause it provided for the consideration OF
a bill to reduce taxation, but because it
prevented individual members from exer-
ercising their own judgment or carrying
out the wishes of their constituents as to
what portion of the excessive taxes should
be repealed. AS an instance of that tax
which it was not advisable to repeal, he
cited the inheritance tax.
MIR. Ball, of Texas, denounced the rule
as another step in the parliamentary evo-
luton, by which individualism in the
house was beng crushed and few men
were enthroned az autocrats. Mr.. Ball
said it was reported in the papers that the
President had been converted to the view
that the ''iron hand" was necessary to
prevent a wholesale revision of the tariff.
M. Babcock, of Wisconsin, said the
rule was such display of cowardice as
had never been seen in the house. The
bill would be debated and amended in the
Senate.
Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois, argued in favor
of the adoption OF the rule.
Mr.. Richardson, of Tennessee, said there
were many Republicans who were restive
under the demands of their constituents
for revision of some of the tariff sched-
ules. Mr.. Babcock's excuse, he said, was
lame, and he could not go back to his con-
stituents and explain.
Mr.. Dazell. closing the debate, said
that in 1894 the Democrats of the house,
then in the majority, under rule, swallow
ed $40 amendments to the Wilson tariff
bill after two hours, debate. Upon his
demand the previous question was ordered.
Mr.. Richardson offered motion to re-
commit the rule. After rather sharp tilt
betN cen the speaker and Mr.. Richardson,
the speaker sustained a point of order
against the motion.
Mr.. Richardson appealed from the
decision, and upon roll-call the Chair
was sustained-l65 to129.
The bill to repeal the war revenue taxes
was passed unanimously by the house, 278
members voting aye.

THE GREAT RACE
FOR SUPREMACY
Review Of the Foreign Commerce Of the
United States.
THB FALLING OFF IN EXPORTS
Attributed Chiefly to Depres sion in Eu'
rope Curtailing the PurchaS-
ing Power.

Washington, February lS.-The impor'
tant document entitled "Review Of the
Foreign Commerce of the United States
in 1901" showing the pace at which this
country ran during the last calendar year
in the great race for supremacy in trade in
the worlds ma rkets, has been made pub
lie by Frederick Emory, chief Of the Bu'
reau of Foreign Commerce Of the State
Department.
1t is stated that the commercial reports
of our diplomatic and consular officers last
year record continued growth in the sales
of many lines of manufactures from the
United States in foreign markets and the
increase of the general concern through
out Europe as to the possible results OF
our industrial competition. Although the
figures of our exports compiled by the
Treasury Department show considerable
falling off in the total value of manufact'
ured goods sent abroad, it is stated there
seems to be steady and uninterrupted
spread in the popularity of what may be
termed American novelties" all over Eu'
rope. In other words, while the aggre'
gate of our exports Of manufactured goods
has shrunk, the variety of our sales in Eu'
rope is being extended, and the territory
upon which they are encroaching is steadi'
ly being enlarged.
The falling off in American exports is
attributed not to the goods being In less
favor, but rather to business depression in
Europe, affecting the purchasing power.
The elimination of Hawaii and Porto Rico
from the list of countries to which we ex'
port, also is factor. The treasury figures
show that during the calendar year there
was falling off of $l2,565, 1874 compared
With the previous year-manufactures fall
ing off SAC, 1862 ,9l2, but being Offset by 3
gain in agricultural exports Of $95, ,59l .O7.
Mr.. Emory says it is evident that the
american invasion" of Europe has
ceased for the time being to be of that
sweeping character that distinguished it at
first as an economic phenomenon. He re-
calls what was said in the review year
ago of the danger of more strenuous Euro
pean competition, the use Ct new processes
and our own models of machinery, but he
SAYS that Europe has not made any sensi-
BILE progress in that direction. AS to re-
strictiye legislation, pending measures in
Europe might be abandoned, says the re-
view, if the United States modified its tar
iff policy and permitted more imports
from Europe.
On the whole, Mr.. Emory finds that We
have more than entered upon "a novitlate
in fitting ourselves for international COM
petition, and he notes with encouragement
the growth of popular interest in the value
of foreign trade and we'll directed efforts
for expansion.

SURVEYING BRANCH LINE.
Norfolk & Western Engineers are at Work
Locating Another Route to the Ohio.

Locating Another Route to the Ohio.
The survey now being made by the
Norfolk & Western railroad down Tug
river ia causing much speculation among
the inhabitants in both the Twelve Pole
and Tug river valleys.
One theory is that the survey is being
made for the purpose Of serving as
double track between Pigeon and the Ohio
river. 1t is said by men who are In
position to know, that when the steel
trust sold the Flat Top coal property to
the Norfolk and Western company, 1t
bound the company to deliver TO it large
quantity of coke and coal annually, more
than the railroad can handle with its
present facilities. 1t becomes necessary
to double track and the survey is being
made to ascertain If it is cheaper to build
new line up Sandy than to build another
track on the line down Twelve Pole.
Another idea has been suggested. While
new line may be built down Sandy to be
used in carving out the coal in that part
of the Flat Top field which is accessible
from the Sandy side, it not improbable
that the present line may be extended
from Dingess up Guyan river, to open up
the vast portion Of the coal field which is
accessible from that side up the mountain.
The proper theory, however, is that
there is much better grade to the Ohio
river along the line now being surveyed,
as the Dingess Mountain is avoided.
