An instance of the extreme
cordially which exists between the
administration and the British gov
eminent was furnished yesterday
when the imposing funeral of Lord
Pauncefote, the late British Ambas.
sador, took place. Even since
Saturday noon the flags in Washing.
ton have been al half-mast and
yesterday the remains of the late
Ambassador were attended by the
Marine and Engineers Bands,
squadron of cavalry, field battery,
a battalion Of engineers and a
battalion of marines, while the
Speaker of the House and Senator
Platt acted as honorary pail bearers.
An American naval vessel has been
placed at the disposal of Lady
Pauncefote and it will convey the
body to England at her pleasure.
In marked contrast was the observ-
ance Of the death of Ambassador
Don Mattias Romeo, of Mexico,
who died in 1899 after a residence
of forty years in Washington in a
diplomatic capacity. Prior to the
advancement of Lord Pauncefoie he
was dean Of the diplomatic corps.
Then President Mckinley attended
the funeral and sent message of
coincidence to the President of
Mexico, but there was no guard of
honor, no military attendance, and
no half masted flags. But Scnor
Romero represeted only the Presi-
dent of republic and not the King
of Great Britain and Ireland,
Emperor of India and Sovereign Of
t1e lands beyond the Seas.

called, have gotten very tired of

some kind of travelling gang of

The week in the House has been
devoted mainly to consideration of
the immigration bill which passed
on Tuesday. The bill, as passed.
contains Representative Under
woods amendment providing for
certain educational qualifications
for immigrants. The Committee on
Rules has reported rules for the
consideration of the Pacific cable
and irrigation bills. The members
of the House are getting very rest
less and il is difficult for the Speaker
to retain quorum for the trans
action of business. There never
was time when republican fences
required so much mending and the
members appreciate the fact and
chafe under their enforced stay in
Washington while many of them,
pleading urgent business, secure
leave TO go home to their districts.

An Industrial BELT from One End TO
the Other.

The M. & X. Railroad is almost
completed up to the new mill about
a mile below Masontown. and the
hack line from here does not have
to go over that rough road now to
reach the railroad at the Y, as they
have been doing heretofore. The
new mill is already saving and
building houses, tram-roads, stables,
etc., and will soon be shipping lum-
Der. Quite number of people
from Preston are working at the
mill and on the railroad. A big
gang of Italians are doing the grad
ing and rough work on the road.
AS soon as the track is in good
shape to the mill, two passenger
trains per day will be run, and the
hack will likely make daily trips.
Several more big industries are
now opening up along the line, and
that valley will soon be hive of
industry. A large glass factory is
now building and fifty houses for
employees.
A big steel plant is preparing to
build that will employ lot of men,
and a rolling mill is coming further
up the line. A branch a mile and a
half long has been built from the
main line into a new coal field that
is already opened up and ready to
ship coal. The iron is now going
down on this feeder, and as the
coal is the Pittsburgh coal, it will
find ready sale. Then Col. John
w. Guseman, the veteran surveyor
from Reedsville, has been down
along the line Surveying another
branch road into some timber that
is too far to haul, and this feeder
will be about az miles long. 1t
Will not be tram-road, as they are
going to put down steel rails and
make a good bed. There are a
number of quarries running along
the main line and hundreds of car
loads of the finest kind of stone
awaiting shipment and piled up
higher than house-tops at some of
the stone quarries. All these in
dustries, in addition to the saw
mills that have been operating, will
make the M. & X. the liveliest little
road in Yves, Virginia.
Then just think what all this
means to the section of this county
lying out that way and adjacent to
the road. With the hundreds of
working men all along the line,
every farmer in Valley district can
find splendid market at good
prices for everything he can raise,
and every man or boy that wants
work, can find plenty of it at good
wages, and even the girls can get
good positions in the glass factories.

Hoar On the Philippines.
Resolutions TO Elect Senators By Pom.
lar Vote Killed on Ia senate
Committee.
The Magnificent Funeral In Honor Of
King Edwards Representative


King Edwards Representative
WAsHINcToN May 9th, Ioo2.-
The past week in the Senate has
been one Of continual triumph for
the democrats. On last Thursday
Senator Hoar delivered a speech
which should be read in every home
in the land. 1t was remark ably
eloquent exposition of the repub-
lican policy and, coming from a
republican, will prove exceptionally
convincing to all who are not too
blinded by party prejudices to
judge of the facts. Senator Hoar
was followed by Senator Dubois
whose speech was in line with the
interview published some time ago
in these letters. He carefully an
alyzed the Lodge bill to its serious
discredit. Senator Patterson came
next with keen criticism of the
bill and an exposition of its work
ings whereby he proved that under
its provisions it would be possible
for few wealthy corporations to
obtain monopoly on all the desir-
able land in the Philippines. A
notable statement In Senator Hoar's
speech was TO the effect that he, and
to his certain knowledge, numerous
other senators had been besieged
with detailed accounts from trust
worthy officers of the horrible abus-
es which were being perpetrated in
the Philippines, all of which state
ments were made under pledge Of
the strictest secrecy because it was
wcll-known by the officers that any
statement detrimental to the policy
of the administration would result in
the ruination of their military
careers. Senator Lodge asked yes
terday that date be Sc. for the vote
on the bill and it was determined to
close the general debate on Saturday
and vote on tuesday,.
tt
The members Of the Committee
on Relations with Cuba claim that
they are approaching an agreement
on that bill. i understand that they
have conceded TO the demands oil
the beet sugar republicans SO far as
to reduce the tariff concession from
IS to 20 per cent They have deter.
mined, however, to extend, il
possible, the time limit and to dis
pense with the condition whereby
Cuba is obliged to adopt the i'm
migration laws of the United States.
An important provision will be a
clause authorizing the President to
abrogate the treaty if he believes
that the concession is operating to
the advantage of others than the
Cuban planters. There seems to.be
little likelihood that, even if the
republicans can secure sufficient
votes in the Senate to pass this bill,
they will be able TO do SO in the
House but that is matter with
which the republican senator's are
not concerning themselves. They
express the opinion that wien they
have done their duty it will be the
business of the President to secure
the legislation by the House if he
wants it, which means that they will,
after all, give him only half. hearted
support.

From the reports of the UNDECIDED
warnings sent out from St. Pierre it
is again made manifest that while
man has superior intelligence he has
none of the delicate instincts that
impel the brute creation to flee from
danger. The cattle and dogs gave
evidence of fear for more than a
week previous to the terrible catast-
rophe coming upon the place. Birds
ceased singing, and even the wild
animals and snakes crawled away to
places of safety. Man alone took
no heed to the warning and persisted
