for some time they adjourned to an.
other room and conferred together
for an hour. They all returned later
in the day and held another confer.

situation was discussed further. The
approach of winter, with coal fam.
inc imminent, and the distress and
suffering that must ensue unless coal

the attention of the administration,
If there is anything that can be done
by the government Many appeals
have been made to him and many
suggestions have been received by
him, and it was with view to ascer-
tanning what power the federal au.
thority could evoke that caused the
conference to be held.
Don't Warrant Federal Interference.
During the conference every phase
Of the situation was discussed. The
general opinion of the advisers of the
President was that the situation did
not present case in which there
could be Federal interference by any
warrant of law. There has been no
interference with Federal authority in
the anthracite region, either by stop
page of the mails or resistance of the
United States court press. 1t was
pointed out that there was no occa-
sion for the use &C FedeTdS, troops,
as Governor Stone, of Pennsylvania,
had not called on the government for
assistance, nor had he even exhausted
the resources of the state by calling
out the full strength of the state mill

mines, in order that they might be op.
Grated, was discussed, but neither in
the constitution nor in any known law

such action, though the discussion on
such lines even went so far as the con

B. AND 0. CHECKS.
People Over Cheat Are Receiv'

Payment Being Made for Rights OF
Way for the New Railroad up Cheat
Statements Made In this Paper
Being Confirmed by later Develop
ments.
The B. 81 o. is back of the propos-
ed Cheat River railroad. 1t will build
the road and will own and operate 1T.
These statements can be taken as GER
tain facts. 1t will be remembered
when the profiles were filed here in
the county clerks Office some time ago
that the NEW DOMINION said that
the b. & o. was back of the road.
This item was published exclusively
in this paper.
Now we are in position to give even
more fact 10 connection with the en-
terprise. Money is being paid out for
the rights of way up the valley from
Cheat Haven to Rowlesburg. One OF
the men who received his money was
In town today with his check.
It was B. g. o. check. All the
others that were paid out were drawn
by the same company. Several thou
sand dollars were disbursed for this
purpose. Hon. Jos. Moreland of this
place paid over the checks.
A representative of this paper called
on him at his Office but he refused TO
make any statement about the road
either to confirm or deny that the b.
& O. had any thing to do with it.
He stated he had paid out more
than So, 600 for rights of way but de-
clined to state whom he was repre-
senting in the matter.
The road runs from Cheat Haven tC
Rowlesburg. 1t follows the east bank
OF the river to Squirrel Rock where II
crosses to the west side.
It is the intention OF those back oil
the road to begin the work of con-
struction just as soon as the rights OF
way can be secured.

stated as fact that the people who
were interested had the money to carry
out any plans that they might have
on hands and that there would be ne
holding back on account of lack o.
| funds.
1t is expected that work of con-
struction will this fall or early in the
spring.
Rights of way are being secured
rapidly and there is nothing else IL
the way to delay the start. The people
over there want railroad and they
are doing every thing in their power
to cause the road to come.

ognizing the ftility of Efforts to end
the strike that would accomplish moth
Ing. 1t was stated that the President
was anxious thst the end of the strike
should be brought about at the earliest
possible moment and that, IL the at
torney general or any other member
of the cabinet could devise method,
by which the President could proceed,
that he would not hesitate to adopt
It, unless meanwhile assurances of a
Settlement were received. After yes
terGay meeting, Governor CRANE left
fer sachusetts.
The conference was resumed today,
Secretary Root who spent yesterday
in New York, being present. 1t was
understood last night that the visit of
Secretary Root to New York was for
the purpose of consulting prominent
business men on the subject. The
Secretary left for New York Monday

House, when the same men were pres
ent, who were at yesterdays confer
ence 1t has been intimated that the

Of the coal properties, but this will
not be done until after the end Of the
conference today, and perhaps not
then.
Root Refused to Talk.
Some confidence was expressed last
night over the report Secretary Root
may have brought from New York
though it could not be learned what
communication, If any, had been re-
ceived from the Secretary while he
was in New York. He reached Wash
ington from there about 10 o'clock last
night, but denied himself to rIewspap.
ermen and others seeking informa-
ton.
No official statement was made re-
garding the conference yesterday
though an intimation was given that
last night some statement might fol.
low the conference today. AS here
tofore stated, the main fact made ap-
parent yesterday was, that the Presi-
dent will make every effort he can
exert properly and lawfully to stop
the strike and avert a fuel famine.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Feb. ia man
giving the name of Walter r. Stribling.
and who IS also known by the name OF
Walter r. Shyle, is under arrest here on
a number of charges Of passing counter
felt money.
The man was stopping at the Eagle ho-
tel and when his room was searched by
the police over $4,000 in $50 counterfeit
bills was found. The money was in. two
hurdles, about equally divided. The notes
were made on the Isbell National Bank or
Talledega and were only fair order OF
counterfeit, though he seems to have had
little trouble in passing them. He had on
his person when arrested nine half pints
of whisky, purchased with counterfeit
money, and about $500 of genuine money,
which he had received in change.
The prisoner says that he is from MIS-
souri, but claims to have come TO Birming-
ham from Admission. A notebook was
found on his person which indicates that
when he started out he mad s31.040. This
book also contains some directions as to
counterfeiting. The man is about q
years OF age and dresses neatly. He is

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 1s.-Fire which
broke out at 7:45 yesterday morning par
TALLY destroyed the plant of the Louisville
Bolt and Iron company at Secon1 and l.
streets, in this city, causing loss Of

once began. to blaze fiercely. BY the time

such Roadway that it could not be checked
and the entire plant. covering two and a
half acres, was soon burned, the firemen
being handicapped by frozen water plugs
and an insufficient supply of water.
The plant was one Of the largest OF its
kind in the south and was originally or
ganized several years ago in Anderson,
Ind, by Louisville capitalists, under the
the name OF the Anderson Bolt and Iron
company. Later 1T was removed to this
city and its name changed. The company
was capitalized at $4,000 The insurance
amounts TO $4,000 and the plant win be re-
built at once.

WHEELER IS.
ENDORSED BY
GERMANS
MAN WHO ROASTED AMERICA,
ENGLAND AND GERMANY RE-
cEIVEs coNeRATuLA-
TORY LETTERS.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 1s.-Repre-
sentative Wheeler, of Kentucky, is being
deluged with letters since his sensational
speech on the floor of the house last week
He has received over 500 communica-
tions, all bearing on the same subject.
These were only a small part Of the
communications received since Mr.. Wheel
er delivered his caustic speech denounc-
ing the state department, our negotia-
lions with England and criticising the
forthcoming visit of 1.-The little Dutch
man." Prince Henry of Germany, now on
his way across the Atlantic.
The Democrats of the house are apt to
shake their heads and depreeate tle
speech, but Mr. Wheeler feels the other
way about 1t. He has a big stack OF
the letters upon his desk and dis
played the contents of some of the let
tiers to different colleagues.
Mr.. Wheeler says there are hardly more
than FIVE or six which criticise him at all
for it. On the contrary. they praise the
sentiments he uttered. The names signed
to the letters indicate that the writer's
are mostly Germans. They come mostly
from Pennsylvania and Ohio. One OF them
IS from a captain in the regiment that
General Grosvenor commanded and urg-
ing Mr. Wheeler, If General Grosvenor
assails him again. to ask certain Ques-
tions- Some of the letters are from Ger
mans known to be more or less prominent
in the business world
The general tone Of the letters is very
complimentary to the speech and COM
mend the Kentuckfan for his utterances.
Whether they express the general senti-
ment of the German people throughout
the country might be difficult to say, but
Mr.. Wheeler judges from the large num-
Der of such letters that the speech struck
a responsive chord at least with very
considerable number of Germans.
