United States Marshal Thompson
Disclaims Responsibility for Action
of Deputies.

CHARLESTON. W. Va, June 10
Captain ]. II. Thompson, United
States Marshall, disclaims any respon-
sibility for the presence of his deputies
at Collins eolliery at Glen Jean and
says if they are there 1T is as private
citizens and upon their own response
bility. The operators, it is said, ask
ed Thompson to enforce the injunc-
tion issued in 1897, but he declined.
1t applies to five or six collieries and
is directed TO Fred Dilcher, Eugene
" Debs, Chris Evans and several
Others and associate, confederates,
agents and promoters /"
Evans is the only one mentioned
that is here now. He is making no
effort to violate the order. 1t is the
general opinion here that the injunc-
ton issued in 1897 is not operative
in this instance.
The Mile branch company has made
concessions, reducing the price OF
powder, allowing nine-hour day and
pay every two weeks. The men voted
today to return to work The grant

until 1t was over.
Few men made 1t as far as second
base on either team and but seven
scores were made in the game. These
were made in three innings the rest
resulting in shut outs.
Bowman was effective and only al
lowed six hits while he struck out IL

the visitors showed that he was good
one. He struck out eight men and
allowed ten hits.
The hits were kept scattered and

POLITICAL SPEECHES MADE.
Richardson and ShaIIenberger Attack
Republican -Actions-Cannon
Made Brief Reply.

Washington. June 19.-The near
approach of the end of the present
session of congress was signalized
by general political speech by Mr..
Richardson, of Tennessee, the leader
Of the minority. Taking advantage
OF the latitude allowed during gen.
eral debate on the deficiency appro-
prIation bill he delivered a set speech
OF an hour and half He arraigned
the Republican party for its failure
TO keep its platform promises, dwell
ing especially on the question of
trusts and the necessity for tariff re-
dnction. Mr.. Shallenberger CDem.,
Neb.) also made a political speech,
condemning the administration for
removing Miss Taylor. clerk in the
war department, for criticising it's
Philippine policy. and for justifying
General Woods expenditures out of
the Cuban fund for the promotion of
reciprocity legislation.
Cannon Made a Brief Reply.
Mr.. Cannon. chairman of the ap
preparation committee, IN a brief re-
ply to both speeches. said he was
ready to go to the country on the
record of the Republican party. He
caused much merriment on his side
OF the house by describing the Re-
publican party as pulling the wagon
while the Democrats stood off and
found fault. Mr.. Bartlett Dem.
Ga-) offered an amendment to the de-
ficiency bill to reimburse the Cuban
revenues for the salary allowed by
Secretary Root to Governor General
Wood out Of the island revenues. In
the course OF some remarks early in
the session Mr.. Cannon declared that
IL he could have his way congress
would adjourn sine die before July 4.
The general deficiency appropria-
ton bill. the last OF the supply bills,
was passed
A night session was held, ct which
the house considered bills reported

WORK OF REGENTS.
No session this Noring or After
noon.

Members Seeing the Elephant Along
With Other People win Meet this
EVENING" Deficit Faces the
Board-Some new Members Added to
the Faculty.
There has been nothing doing
with the regents during today. They
have been busy attending the var
ious exercises in progress at the
University and are having a good
time along with the rest of the
folks.
A session has been set for five
o'clock this afternoon but it is very
likely that they will not get togeth
er at that time. The board has
been doing great deal.
Among the things that has kept
their attention during the recent ses-
sions is the financial report A CON-
mittee has been busy auditing the ac-
counts. Every thing was of course
found to be correct.
The deficit which was left as a lega-
cy by the old board will have to be pass
ed up to the Governor and legislature.
A committee was appointed to pre-
pare the biennial report OF the Board
to present TO these powers.
During the past year the expenses Of
the.institution have been kept within
the limits Of the appropriation made
by the legislature but the deficit which
has been handed down to them was of
such robust nature that it has not
been reduced any. It will probably
exceed $50, 900

WILES PRIZE CONTEST
w. w. Smith Won First Place
Wednesday Night.

Alexander McYeigh Miller, Jr. Was
Second-Fine Contest was Heard by
a Large Crowd of People-Glass Day
ON the Campus-Cadets Parade in
the Evening.
One of the most interesting events
of Commencement week was the
Wiles oratorial contest, which took
place w ednesday night. The con
tests we're Frank l.. Bowman, w. W.
Smith, Alex. McV. Miller, Jr. and
L. P. Miller, the two latter of whom
are brothers. First place was award
ed to Mr.. Smith, who thus received
the Willis Prize of 800. and second
place Alex. Mcv. Miller, Jr., who
received gold medal The judges
were Prof. w. II. Cole. principal of
the public schools of huntington
Prot w. NJ. Foulke, principal of the
public school of Piedmont; and John
McCleave, of Pittsburg. The hall
was well filled.
Mr. Brown was first on the pro
gram. His Grafton was very elo-
quent tribute to the character of the
late VIM. Mckinley. 1t was we'll
delivered with much grace of ges-
ture and clearness of voice.
Mr.. Smiths subject was "a Relic
of barbarism" in which he protested
against the outrages of mob law
and pointed out the redress. The
earnestness of the speaker and the
emphasis and vigor with which he
spoke most forcibly impressed the
audience.
1.-THE open door policy in the Far
East was the subject discussed by
Alex. McY. Miller, Jr. In thought it
was probably the most profound OF
the four and the manner in which it
was delivered exhibited evidences of
much hard work.
L. P. Miller discussed IAN Inter
national court of Arbitration. In
rhetorical construction his Grafton
was superb, while in thought and
delivery he was deserving of much
credit.
interpreting the performance
was a piano solo, by Mss NJ. Crum-
rine and trio for violin, piano and
organ by Miss Crumrine, Miss Dav
is and Mr.. S. A. Smith.
The most unique features of the
week were the exercises given by the
senior class on Wednesday afternoon
on the campus. The class was
grouped under large tree at the
South end of the campus, while the
audience which numbered several
hundred people, stood on the campus
Immediately above them. The Glee
