TO ASK U. S. TO PAY
OLD VIRGINIA DEBT
Representative Hamilton viii Intro.
duce Resolution in Congress Ask
ing For Relief Of Obligation.

Washington d. G., March Ire
preventative John NJ. Hamilton, of the
Fourth West Virginia district, who
succeeds Harry w. woodward, be-
lieves the Federal government should
pay that part OF the debt Of Virginia
for which West Virginia has been
held liable by the Supreme Court of
the United States.
The idea that any debt arising
| from the creation Of the State OF West
Virginia is a national rather than a
State obligation is not new" said Mr..
Hamilton at the Ebbitt last night
The late James G.. Blaine in his
book. Twenty Years ia Congress. pub
lished long before the suit over the
debt was commenced. held that the
apportionment of the debt would some
day become an issue and he then ex-
pressed the opinion that the obliga-
ton would be upon the national gov
eminent instead of upon West Vir-
ginia, because the creation of West
Virginia was purely a war measure.
He held that West Virginia was in
the nature of conquered territory and
that as the United States assumed
the debt of Texas when that State
was taken from Mexico, so the. United
States should assume the debt of
West Virginia, as that State was TAX
en- from Virginia at time Virginia
was in rebellion.
The debt for which the Supreme
Court has held West Virginia liable
was not created by West Virginia nor
its people; nor was it expended for
the benefit of West Virginia The
division Of the old State was the re-
suit of war, because such action was
considered necessary for the preser
walton of the Union. Amy liability
that followed such action, therefore,
properly became a Federal liability
and should be met by the Federal gov
eminent.
81 will introduce a bill or resolu-
ton in the coming session of Con-
gress providing for the payment of
West Virginia's part of the Virginia
debt by the United States. and | be-
lieve, after the case has been ex-
planned, that the measure will be
adopted"

TRAINMEN HURT IN WRECK

Many Cattle.

Baltimore, Md, March 15.-An Inn
mense rock, its weight estimated at
so tons, falling onto the tracks of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at HoI-
loheld, 20 miles west OF here, caused
the wreck OF two freight trains at an
early hour yesterday morning. Five
trainmen were injured. Engineer Sam
uel Murphy and Brakeman W. M.
Simpson, both of Baltimore, being SER
iously hurt.
A freight train running east struck
the rock, derailing the engine and ten
cars, and blocking the westbound
track. Before warning signals could
be put cut, westbound freight
drawn by two locomotives crashed
into the wreckage.
The eastbound train contained sew
eral cars of cattle, many of which
were killed. Both tracks were closed
for several hours following the acct
dent, and the track was torn up for
a distance of about 200 feet.
Others of the crews who were in
Jured are ]. r. Coale, fireman. broken

THE TROUBLE IN MEXICO.

There has as yet been no satisfac-
tory reason ass signed for the mobiliza-
ton of the United States army on the
border of Mexico, with the exception
VT "maneuvers," which no one seems
Wiling to ACCEPT as the real reason
Reasons of various character are
assigned by different authorities aad
countries, but there is no agreement
among them as to the real reason of
all this war scare.
The general public is in the dark
as to the actual reason for the great
hurry in getting a large army and
MANY war vessels in the 1eighbor-
hood of Mexico. 1t may be that the
clouds will soon pass away and we
will then see just why all this stir.
