AS Result Of the Sensational
Charges Made by Col. BeaII
against Senator Chiffon.
(By Charles Brooks Smith,

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. July 49,
If the interview given to the Wheeling
1ntelligencer Of Monday by Hon. Wylie
w. Beall, Of Wellsburg, created any
thing like the sensation in West vir-
ginia it did here, then It must still be
the talk Of the politicians there. 1t
is here. 1t is the topic of the hour.
Nor is this interest confined to the
West Virginia colony. There Is q
paragraph in that peppery roast OF
Senator Chiffon and the bosses OF
large and small caliber, which caused
the correspondents for the big pap
ers throughout the country to get
busy, and to chase frantically about
trying to get hold Of copy OF the
paper which contained the interview.
That part of the BeaH interview
which interested the outsiders was
this:
Sitting In the gold room Of the
White House one day, awaiting an au-
dience with the president, Senator
Chiffon tried to have me invest SO, 900
to $4,000 in a certain North Carolina
gold mine. You have probably heard
somethin gof 1t here lately. / reject
ed the proposition" And Cor. Beall
made the following deduction: Now
I firmly believe that 1 would have
been the Democratic candidate today
had complied with Senator Chilton's
request" 4
The deduction is of little interest
outside Of West Virginia, but the
statement which proceeded it is. and

WASHINGTON, D. g., July 16-
Official dispatches today threw nc
light on the destination of General
Huerta although 1t still was general.
ly believed his special train and troop
escort were headed for Puerto, Mex.
Should Huerta's escort take him to
the American lines at Vera Cruz, the
Mexican soldiers probably would moi
be permitted to pass through unless
they surrendered and consented to be
informed in the same way as other
federals on, the border.
The American army would moi
turn them back to be executed by
the rebels outside Vera Cruz.
