the papers reached the capitol and so
the Senate will not hear officially OF

While it is expected that Governor
Hughes will be confirmed with little
or no delay, it is understood here that
he viii remain as the chief executive
OF the State of New York until next
October and will not take the cath of
his new cfice until the fall term of
the Supreme Court opens the second
Monday in the month.
There has been much speculation
ever since ii was first intimated that
Governor Hughes would be rendered
a place on the Supreme Court bench
as to whether or not his appointment
would take him gu OF the fall cam
paign in the State of New York where
all the Republican leaders admit that
he IS sorely needed.
President Taft Delighted.
: President Taft would not discuss
this phase of the case in anyway yes
terday. He has been anxious to Sc
cure the best man he could for the
Supreme Court vacancy and he feels
that he has cone so. He was much
elated over the success of his tender
to Governor Hughes and last nigh
said: 49,"
II am very much delighted to
secure Governor Hughes for the
bench. He is a man of wide ex-
p~erience and marked ability and
it is a mighty valuable thing to
have ON the great bench of the
Supreme Court a man of affairs.
Governor Hughes is forty-eight
years of age, | think, and ven if
he should retire at seventy, he
will have had twenty-five years
of solid usefulness on the bench"

Hughes was received Throughout
Washington with the greatest salts
faction.

The number of registered voters
last year was 1864, so there Is an in
crease this year OF 2T0 voters. II is
c~onservatlvely estimated. however,
that Martins burg has at least 5000 vo-
ters Within It's borders. Multiplying
this number by 4 IL, as Is customary
in estimating population the city has
a population OF 11,700, which isn't far
wrong as the Federal census now be-
ing taken will show, still, many place
the number at the even 10000.
II % names are added TO the above.
as was done by the City Council last
night, the total would be 1884.
It will be noticed that the Second
precinct of the Fifth Ward has the
smallest number Of registered voteia,
that is 81. This Is partly accounted
for by the fact that some OF the
voters out In Frankenberrytown were
Indifferent about getting registered
while others refused to do II. The
whole ward. according to the re-
burns, has but 299 registered voters,
while the Second Ward has 7o6 and
heads the list.

On the floor were many delegations

heavily and so did shorts. After tho
call bears tried hard to check the adj
n and offered great quantities OF
cotton, but In the first half hour OF

widened to 30 points.
The future market continued 20

ed and at noon the new crop months
showed an advance of $3.50 a bale

Gratis:

II will make the corporations
come to time" shouted the
strenuous one" in a recent
outburst from the rear end of a
railroad train.
Well, he certainly has dom
onstrated an ability to do this.
The corporations "came to
time" nobly in making contri-
button to the Republican Ma
tional Committees campaign
fund, 1904, when Mr.. Roosevelt
was the candidate for Presi-
dent. Three big insurance con-
Germs in New York City were
robbed of $4,000 each of their
stockholders money TO contri.
butte in this manner towards
his election. The late +. III.
Hartman, according to his adj
missions made later, raised
$3.50, 900 for use in New York
State alone, at Mr.. Roosevelt's
special request. The Beef trust
also contributed largely and
other corporations spent their
money in his behalf.
The man for whose election
to the Presidency the corpora
tons "came to. time" so liberal
ly, even recklessly, in 1904,
ought to be easy subjects for
him to handle at this time; But
the trouble is that as a candi-
date for another term in the
Presidency he would have no
desire for them to "come to
time" in any other manner than
that of 1904, when they contri-
buted with such lavish liberality
to the campaign fund for his
election. Every Evening.
