let Congressman to Series Of Joint
Debates.
1t has just been learned that Gov
ernor A. B. White has issued chal
lenge to Congressman A. G. Dayton
of the Second district to meet him
in debate on the recommendation of
the State Tax Commission in SER
les Of public meetings tc be held in
e-ery county in the Second district.
Congressman DAYTON is now on the
high seas on a trip to Europe While
circles opposing him say he took
this trip to avoid the joint debate
challenge it is reliably reported that
his replp to Governor White stated
that he was agreeable to discuss the
question of tax reform as soon as
convenient on his return. .
Nothing so remarkable in the tax
fight has developed as this challenge
from the Governor. 1t indicates the
growth of the agitation in the con
troversy. The State papers are full
of the question and the dominant
party in the State is puzzled as to
the outcome 1t threatens to shake
the Republican party to its very
foundations, and already the State
organ has appealed to Senator Steph-
en- B. Elklns, the recognized STD
leader, who has just returned from a
European "trip, TO take hand in the

ginia.

WHEELING, w. Va, Sept. I'll
State Labor Commissioner |. V. Bar
ton returned few days since from a
trip throughout the state.
When asked about labor conditions
in West Virginia, he said that every.
thing was working smoothly and
everybody seemed TO be working with
three exceptions, the exceptions being
the closing down of the two glass fac
tories at Morgantown on account of
the attempt to employ non-unIon men,
aud the unfortunate miners strike at
New River, which has thrown about
600 men oct of employment, and the
machinists' strike Of this city.
In regard to the New River matter
he said that he was informed that the
operators there had formerly recog-
nized the miners union and the mines
worked smoothly, but lately there was
a change 10 the management who be-
gan almost Immediately TO employ
non-union miners, and few days
since declared that they would not
hereafter recognize the miners union.
The Morgantown situation was very
grave and it did not look as IL an early
settlement there was possible. Mr.
Barton spoke more hopefully, however,
of the machinistS' strike.

Look not upon the wine when it
is red, when it giveth its color in the
cup, when it moveth itself Alright.
At last it biteth like serpent and
stingeth like an adder"
This warning uttered so many
years ago was fallen unheeded on
ears whose heads have ached after

and today two heads as large as
barrels are mute evidence to the
owners of the wisdom of the advice.
A gentleman from town went to
the fire up the Blackbott,e yesterday
afternoon. He met an old friend
and companion who had some elder
berry wine the like of which had
never before been tasted in this vi
cinity. An invitation to drink was
followed by deep rotations.
Finally the Morgantown man
started home. Near the Valley
Wood Working company's plant he
fell asleep by the road side.
Here he was seen and his wife was
notified. She went after him. When
she reached his side he had lost a
watch, chain and finger ring.
A man and woman passing were
suspected. They had passed but d
moment before and just before they
came along the jewelry had been not.

When the relief party reached him
the adornments were gone. The sus
poets separated when the wife appear

the woman hustled past trying to
avoid discovery under cover OF tbs
darkness which had fallen.
They are known and will be given
until Saturday to return TO this Office

belonged to lady and she wants 1T.
In case the articles do not come back
there will be some arrests which will

FL RENEGADE HANGED
John Dyer, White Leader of Yaquis,
 Executed by Mexicans

Tucson, Ariz.-The Mexican Herald of Wednesday publishes an authentic report of the capture and execution of John Dyer, the Arizona cowboy and newspaper man, who recently pro- claimed himself leader of the Yaquis in Sonora. The capture was made by the Fourth battalion of Mexican regu- lars near Bacum, state of Sonora. He was immediately tried by court martial and sentenced to be shot at daybreak. Dyer completely broke down and offered to betray the secret plans of the Yaquis and their where abouts if his life was saved. When the hour for execution arrived two Mexican soldiers had to drag him from the tent to the place of execu- tion.

TOROPS SENT 10 ALBANIA
WILL GARRY OUT REFORMS WITH
 IRON HAND
Russia Has Notified Bulgaria That in Case of Re- sistanee by Bulgarian Settlers in Turkey She Need No! Count on Her Support

Paris-The French foreign office has been officially advised that the sultan of Turkey has ordered division of troops to the scene of the recent out breaks of Albanians. Official advices also confirm the reports of the wound ing of the Russian consul at Nitro vitza during the unsuccessful attack which the Albanians made on that town. The attacking party numbered 2000 men, representing the element opposing the plan of reform which the powers jointly formulated and which Turkey accepted. The officials here consider that the Albanian opposition to the reforms creates serious com plication and they accept the Sultan s action in dispatching large reinforce ments to Albania as evidence of the Turkish governments intention to carry out the reform project.
 Another official dispatch announces that Russia has given Bulgaria definite and emphatic notification that in case the resistance of the Bulgarian settlers in Turkey to the sultan's reforms brings on a Turkish Bulgarian con flict, Bulgaria must not count on any support, moral or material, from Russia. This is considered further evidence of the purpose of the powers not to interfere with the sultan s plans so long as he is carrying out in good faith the powers project for re- forms.
 Constantinople-Details of the at. tack on M. St. Cherbina, the Russian consul at Mitrovitza, show that it was made by an Albian soldier, one of whose relatives had been killed in the fighting at Mitrovitza The consul, who was accompanied by Turkish escort, was on his way to inspect the batteries, which finally repulsed the Albanians, who attacked MitrovitZa, when sentry at the powder magazine deliberately shot M. St. Cehrbina in the back, the bullet traversing the renal region and infcting a serious wound. The sentry also fired at the consular military courier, but missed him. The other soldiers of the guard then hurried up and shot the Alban- ian sentry, inficting mortal wounds.

SOLVING THE PROBLEM
THE MORO QUESTION SAID TO BE
 SETTLED
General Davis Confident That the Sagacious Policy Inaugurated by Captain Pershing Has Tanned These Wild ard Fanatcal People

Washington-Major General Corbin has made public report from General Davis, commanding in the Philippines, on the situation in the Moro country. He encloses a letter from Captain Pershing. General Davis speaks very highly of Captain Pershing and, in explaining the selection of an officer of his rank for such an important command, says that he was the most available officer at the time the selec- tion was made. Showing the Moros that the United States had the ability to protect themselves and overcome resistance, General Davis says, has a good effect. He says Captain Pershing has established friendly relations with large number of villages. He as- cribes much importance to the fact that "the Old Pandita," person of much influence, recently has recog- nized the Unietd States authority.
 General Davis closes his report by saying: "The Old Pandita sees that the Americans are not going to leave the Lake His people see the heavy wagons come and go; he hears of the road built from Iligan and he has at last visited the camp and acknowledged American supremacy.
 On the occasion of Captain Per shing's visit to the Cota with strong force the flag was hoisted and saluted by Moros in the presence of this relig- ious leader, whose influence for a long time has been so potent as to keep his followers from hostility.
 "I feel much gratified at the fruits borne by this policy. Now that this influential religious leader of Malanao' has made and received visit and pro fesses friendship, our task is simplified and a continuation of this policy should present, only easy obstacles to be surmounted. Captain Pershing has been designated to take 1.-the census of the Malanao people and will begin the enumeration in two weeks.
 "I have felt no small interest in the solution of this problem that the Spaniards left unsolved and now feel confident that when the time comes for me to be relieved there will be no longer military problem respecting these wild and fanatical people" "
