Business is practically at q stand
still again on the Chesapeake Il
Ohio Canal, pending the settlement
of the freight-rate question. Accord
ing TO an rangem made on April
10, the boatmen who went on a strike
at the beginning Of the season for AN
increase of 10 cents a ton for hauling
coal to Georgetown and 5 cents to
Williamsport returned to work ON
trial for 30 days. The boatmen claimed
that owing to the high price offered
and the expense OF the cost ut hiring
hands and living at the old rate, and
now that the 30 DAYS have expired
they h~ave-renewed their demand for
the increase. An advance of five
cents to Georgetown and two and a
half cents to WiIliamsport was offer
ed the boatmen a few davs ago, but
trev declined to accept il. Informa-
Ulon was received at WlllIamsport
from Cumberland that the through
boatmen there had refused to load,
and it is stated hat they have deter
mined to accent tire increase asket
for or nothing, and will
boating if they do not get 1t. The
boatmen at Williamsport have decid-
ed not to return to Cumberland until
the matter is adjusted 1t is under
stood that some of them are willing
to accept the two and q half cent in
crease, but the firm stand taken bv
the through boatmen prevents them
from doing SO.

Hon. Nathan Bay Scott should be
elected TO succeed himself and makes
no bones in making his opinion

tons.
~ have not the least %hesitancy in
ssying that | believe ii is TO the best
interests of the state of West Virginia

Mr.. James Guerney. under whose supervi-

in the garden and park, points to. as his

laying out Of q rose garden to be just next

plants. The ground is now being made
ready to receive the slips. which will be all
hardy ones, and will have attained a slen-
did growth by the summer season Of the
Worlds Fair. But even in the coming
summer the rose garden will he one Of the
most attractive features of the park.
There will be about 200 varieties Of roses
represented in this little garden, enough Of
each kind to show the effect of each special
rose. The co elections will be labeled so that
the rose fancier may at once learn the name
of the particular bud that attracts his atten-
ton. and be able to order from Il nursery
mar just that kind. if he wishes to plant 1t
in his own garden.
There will be q winding path among the
roses. and from the promise of Mr.. Guer-
ney's plan it would seem that one would he

The influence of the coming Worlds Fair
is felt in this particular southwestern cor

quest Of sights rare and beautiful are di-
rected By every loyal ST. Louisan. There
are plans being made with a very definite
conclusion reaching out to the time Of the
Fair. In the garden a number of old pun

houses, on 50 extensive a scale. have never

all points 10 the Worlds Fair, at which
time the hundreds Of plants now being
started will have reached perfection and
will lend their beauty in breaking the rec
