"THE STATISTICIAN"

Senator Sam b. Montgomery has
received many hattering notices
from the press of the State over
his address before the Editorial AS
sociation at Webster Springs. We
herewith append one from the El.
kins News, one OF the leading De-
mooratic papers of the State and
the Morgantown Post, one of the
leading Republican papers
Senator S. b. Montgomery was
the only other prominent politician
present and he gave no evidence
that he was on political mission.
Senator Montgomery, at the night
session, delivered an address on
"West Virginia and its Future"
This subject had been assigned to
Senator Elkins who was, owing to
business engagement, prevented
from attending. The address OF
Senator Montgomery was one of
the most eloquent tributes the writer
has ever heard paid TO the Noun
tain State. We want TO whisper In
the ears of our Republican friends
that 1t would be we'll for them TO
keep their eyes on Sam Montgo.
merry. He is able, fearless, indie
pendent and perfectly able to take
care Of himself under any and all
circumstances.
Senator Sam Montgomery's ad-
dress on West Virginia and Its
Future" which was to have been
delivered by Senator S. b. Elkins,
was one Of the bright things of the
convention. The Senator from
Preston was loaded with figures,
and his hearers listened with
rapt attention, while on a number
OF occasions the walls of the old
court house fairly rang from the ap.
plause. Many there had heard the
Senator in political campaigns but
none had listened to such flow OF
language from the anable Prestonian
When had finished his brilliant
speech he was accorded a rousing
reception, and the irrepressible Sam
B. Harrison, of Piedmont, immedi-
ately named him the "statistician.
The readiness with which the Sena-
tor handled figures IN showing the
standing Of West Virginia, what
she has done, was most remarkable,
and the name "statlstician" will
ever remain with him.

some special dispatches from Taugier

KAISER
VISITS TANGIER
Programme Was Changed and His
Stay Was Short.
VARIOUS REASONS GIVEN
ALLEGED DISCOVERY OF AN AN
ARCHlST PLOT.
TANGIER, March 8l-Emperor VII

TANGIER, March 31.-Emperor VIII
liam of Germany paid a flying
visit to Tangier today. remaining
barely two hours on shore. The elabor-
ate programme for his reception and
entertainment was much changed, the
emperor combining himself to Il visit to
the German legation, where he received
deputations OF Germans in Morocco.
The changes in the plans caused
much comment and disappointment.
The emperor had been expected to land
about o'clock, but he was delayed
three hours. Meanwhile Count Won Tat
tenbaCh- Askold. formerly German min
ister TO Morocco, returned 20 the Ham
bur6 before the emperor landed.
Avoided an Incident"
1t was officially explained that the
reason for this procedure was the
roughuess of the sea, but after the de
parture of the Hamburg II was said on
good authority that Emperor William,
having heard that there was a posi-
bility Of an Francophobe demonstration
on the occasion of his Sis1J. desired to
avoid such an incident Another re-
port which. however has not received
official confirmation, but is generally
accepted, says that the German lega-
ton was informed that an anarchist
vised that the emperor be dissuaded
from landing. Count Won Tattenbach-
ASkold visited the German legation ana
talked with the Moorish authorities.
and afterward informed his majesty
that every DrecautiOn had been taken,
but advised that the programme be
confined 10 a visit TO the legation.
Enthusiastic Moors.
notwithstanding the shortness of his
majestys stay i'm Taugier, the occasion
viii be marked as one Of the most bril-
liant and picturesque in the history of
this seaport. The MoorS czsnibited Un-
Woutcd enthusiasm, and throughout the
two hours the emperor was on shore no
uHtOward incident occurred. His ma
jesty appeared to enjoy his visit.
The scenes In the streets gave eVi-
dence of the sincerity of his welcome.
The procession from the pier to the Ie-
cation was exceedingly imposing. The
uniforms of the emperor and his suite
mingled pictureSqueIy with the native
costumes and local colOring while the
music OF the suItan's band added q
touch of true OrientaIism. The cere-
monies strangely contrasted with all
other places visited. His majesty WIS
