Do NOT ADVISE
USE OF FLAG
GREAT BRITAIN REPLIES TO
AMERICAN NOTE REGARD
ING USE OF FLAG.
Claims Practice Is Long Established
But Had Never Ordered
Use Of II.

LONDON, Feb. 10, 1882 p. m.-rhe
British foreign office this evening is
sued note in reply to the represen-
tations of the United States govern
ment concerning the use of the Amer
lean flag by British vessels.
The note says that the Cunard line
steamer Lusitanla on her recent voy-
age from New York TO Liverpool
raised the American flag "to save the
lives Of non-combatants, crew and
passengers" II adds that in spite OF
the fact that American passengers
embarking on the Lusitania on her
outward voyage for New York asked
that the American flag be hoisted
the British government did not give
any advice TO the company as to how
TO meet this request and its is under
stood the Lusitania left Liverpool un-
der the British flag"
After discussing the Lusitania in
cident the memorandum makes this
statement:
The British government have no
intention OF advising their merchant
shipping to use foreign flags as a
general practice or to report to them
otherwise than for escaping capture
OF destruction"
In conclusion the statement says:
The obligation upon a belligerent
warship to ascertain definitely the
nationality and character of a mer.
chant vessel before capturing IL and
a fortiori (stronger reason) before
sinking and destroying Il has been
universally recognized. II that obli-
cation is fulfilled the hoisting of a
neutral flag on board a British vessel
cannot possibly endanger neutral
shipping and the British government
holds that IL loss TO neutrals Is caus
ed by disregarding the obligation f.
is upon the enemy vessels disregard
Ing and upon the government giving
orders that IL should be disrerarded
that the fun responsibility for injury
10 neutrals ought to rest"

DESPERATE EFFORT MADE
TO AVOID EXTRA SESSION

AFTER MIDNIGHT AND ACTS

House in Good Shape But Senate
Calendar Is 0vercrowded.
Has $50 Bills.
BY W. r. kEYsERJ
(Stsh CorrespondentD

CHARLESTON. W. Va. Feb. IS.-
Spurred on by a realization OF the
fact that but one more day remains
in which bills OF a general nature
may be acted upon-appropriation
bills and emergency measures being
the only ones eligible for considera-
tion during the last five days OF the
session, under a rule adopted at the
beginning OF the present session-the
legislature. and particularly the house
OF delegates today transacted almost
a record breaking amount of business.
After a strenuous day. during~which
many bills OF Importance were acted
upon. the house tonight remained In
session until after midnight. passing
on local measures and bill principally
Of routine nature.
Owing to the expeditions manner IN
which the house has proceeded
throughout the session. the calendar
OF the lower branch Is almost clear
OF important measures. The remain
ing ones will be passed. so that to-
night there is no necessity for an ex-
tended or extraordinary session so far
as the house is concerned.
The senate calendar, however. liz
overcrowded. When adjournment was

ing attention. With the bills passed
out by the house tonight and those
likely To be reported out by commit
tees tomorrow morning. the list will
be augmented to considerably more
than two hundred.
Notwithstanding the bills vet
awaiting the action OF the Senate. the
opinion OF a majority of the Legisla-
tors tonight IL that the Legislature
VIII adjourn on schedule time, Feb
ruary 20. just one week from tonight.
What important measures that can
not be passed tomorrow, may be
acted upon next week, provided the
rules are suspended o rthey are de-
clared emergency measures, and the
others, OF course, will die on the cal.
endar.
Another Conference.
The corrupt practice act was
passed with the amendments adopted
yesterday. and as the Senate Is hard
ly likely to concur. IL probably means
IN appointment OF another conferences
committee.
Nearly fifty bills were acted upon
by the House tonight Among thos.
passed were the Parish corrupt prao-
tice act; bill revising road laws:
registration Of farm titles; tuition OF
university cadets: compulsory school
law; Welch charter: Martinsburg

ter; Parkersburg charter: MontEorn-
cry charter; and several bills relating
TO court procedures.
The bill introduced by Delegate
Otto, reducing membership OF Wheel

rate times, and passed.

Redistricting OF the state as to con-

would mean killing the measure be-

The first amendment was offered
by Brown. OF Marshall, affecting the

A convenient way Is to divide the
