Farkersburg. W. Va., Nov. 21. Terrific
J-umbllngs and reports startled tha citizens
of Bingamon Creek, somo distance from
Shlnneton, at D o'clock yesterday. They
lushed from their homes, to find thehill
pide caving in. and great avalanches of
earth, stono and coal falling toward tho
creek. It teemed that tho crust of the whole
earth was being broken by somo subterra
nean force, and tho spectators feared an
earthquake with dire results.
Ths.firsr. an.djSTcatcstcfaU o

terrific noise. At daj light it was seen that
Jlie coal mines in that vicinity had been
Vtterly destroyed. The strata of limestone
above the coal had been rent, and the
Muff, or hillside, a half mile long and twen
ty lest deep, was precipitated into Bmg
pmon CreUc below, a distance of 100 feet,
forcing' the stream out of its natural courso

"The third and little linger on each hand

MONEY RAISED TO
FIGHT ANNEXATION.
Old Orchard Residents Meet and
Take First Steps to Contest Su
preme Court's Ruling.
THEY WILL RESIST TAXATION.
Webster Groves Officials Threat
ened With Prosecution Under
Injunction Issued by Judge
Hirzel.
Residents of Old Orchard, who are fight
ing tho annexation of the village to Web
ster Groves, met labt night at Franke's
Hall and took the first steps to contest the
decision of the Supremo Court, as it Is con
strued by the city officials of Webster.
Citizens of Old Orchard claim that the
decision of tho Supremo Court did not cover
the auestion of annexation; that it merely
confirmed tho legality of Webster GroveVs
charter as a. lourth-class city., and that tho
carUffnat-ilurUiciioTi of. tie eburt-dia:no extend to;
th question of the city's right to annex
any territory- About 4 persons were pres
ent and 200 new members were enronea, ana
ti&M was raised to carry on the fight. Tho
Anti-Annexation League of Old Orchard
promises to make much trouble for the city
officials of Webster Groves.
Old Orchard is fighting the annexation
because it deems Webster's taxes too heavy.
An effort Is being mado by City Collector
Farrlngton to collect all taxes assessed
sinco tho fight began In the courts. In IS97,
and, consequently, the amounts in each case
are considerable. Before tho fight began
many residents, who are now on the side
of anti-annexation, were willing to pay
their taxes if the city of Webster Groves
would drop the three years' assessments
when the annexation was in doubt. But by
order of tho Board of Aldermen, City Col
lector Farrlneton was compelled to Inform
delinquents that they would be sued In the
County Court If their taxes were not forth
coming. In a speech last night to the members of
tho league C S. Beber, who is Its attorney,
said that he had notified the officials of
Webster Groves that he would have them
cited for contempt before Judge Booth if
they persisted In filing suits for the collec
tion of the taxes. Reber holds that as tho
question of annexation is not admitted to be
finally settled by tile Supreme Court tlie
injunction that was iebucd against Web
ster Groves last year by Judge Hirzel, pro
hibiting the bringing of suit for unpaid
taxes, i" still In fore.
George It. Iyockwood. who Is the largest
real estate owner In Old Orchard, also mado
on address in the same tenor. While the
primary reason for the fight Is taxes, tho
antls arcue that geographical obstacles
make It Impossible for sewer Improvements
In Webster Groves to be of any benefit to
Old Orchard, and that police protection for
Old Orchard is not commensurate with that
of Webster.
J. D. Wilson presided last night, -with
John L. Spanage as secretary and William
S. Spiniclce treasurer. Mayor Fleming sas
that Webster Groves Is not worrylns as
the only true construction -which can be
placed on the decision of the Supreme Court
settle- the annexation question definitely
and finally. He points out that the large
taxpaers of the annexed district have paid
their assessments. As the case !s settled
finally. Judge Hlrzel's Injunction Is no long
er in force and the city officials will file
their fcuit after the time-limit has expired.

Liberty Has Not Lost, but Has Gained in
Strength, He Declares Analyzes Re
sult of the Election.
Philadelphia, Pa Nov. 21. President Mc
Kinley to-day paid his first vl'lt to this
city since his election, and met with an
enthusiastic reception. He came as tlie guest
of the Union League, having been invited
to attend tlie "Founders' Day" banquet of
that organization. The President w-as ac
companied by all the members of his Cab
inet, with the exception of Secretary Root,
who is In Cuba-
Tho presidential party arrived here in a
epeclal train over the Pennsylvania, at 3:30
o'elock this afternoon. An Immense throng
was in waiting at the station, and tho ap
pearance of tho President was tho signal
for an enthusiastic outbreak of applause.
Women waved handkerchiefs and silk flags
and men raised their hats a President Mc
Klnley passed. From tho train to his car
riage Mr. McKinlcy carried his silk hat
in his hand and bowed In acknowledgment
of tho ovation extended lilin.
The party was driven to tho residence of
E. T. Stotesbury. and at 6 o'clock went to
the Union league. As 'tlie President stepped
from hl.s carriage and made his way up
the steps of the building ho was- vociferous
ly cheered. Insido tho clubhouse the mem
bers crowded about the chief executive, who
was compelled to submit to much hand
shaking. Tho party then proceeded to the banquet
room, where the covers had been laid for 341
persons. While the dinner was in progress
Vice President elect Koosevelt arrived from
New York.
President McKmley spoke as follows:
"Gentlemen of the Union League: An
after-dinner speech is to mo always a dif
ficult performance; an after-election speech,
after a dinner, is a still more dilficult task,
and I shall do little more than make ack
nowledgment to this patriotic association
for its unceasing loyalty to the Govern
ment; for the earnest support it has givtn
to the present administration in trying
years through which It has passed, and ex
press my slnce.-e thanks for the great honor
this meeting and demonstration brine to
me, which should bo shored by my distin
guished associate on the national ticket, the
Vico President elect, aa well as by those
connected with ine In the conduct of public
affairs.
"Wo are always In danger of exaggera
tion on an occasion of exultation over a
political victory, and. while tho result Is
mainly due to the efforts of our splendid
party, there is sometimes a tendency to give
too little credit to other forces, which,
silent though they may have been, were
none the less potential.
Analyzes the Result.
"Wo must not withhold generous ack
nowledgment from that great body of our
citizens vho, belonging to another party,
powerfully assisted in the achievement of
the result which you celebrate to-night, nor
from that other large body, former mem
bers of our own party, who. with honesty of
purpose, separated from us a few years ago
on financial issuer and have now returned
and are home again to stay.
"Nor Is any accounting for the victory
either Just or accurate which leaves out
of the calculation the almost unbroken
column of labor engaged in mechanics and
agriculture, which rejected the false doc
trine of class distinction as having no
place in this Republic, and which rebuked
those teachings which would destroy the
faith of American manhood in American

PRESIDENT HOPES
TO AID MINISTERS,
Believes Direct Negotiations With
Powers Will Lighten the
Labors in China.
ANXIOUS FOR JAPAN'S AID.
With This, It Is Believed, England
and Germany Will Consent to
the Plan of an Inter
national Congress.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, Nov. 24. As a result of the
exchange of views to be made by the Pow
ers, as suggested by Secretary Hay in his
latest note, it is hoped that a satisfactory
mothod of solving the Chinese difficulty will
be adopted.
It is apparent that the President wishes
to supplement the work of the Ministers in
Pckln by direct negotiations with the Pow
ers. It Is not intended to withdraw the
matter at once from the Ministers, but it is
Intended to expedite their action and, fail
ing in this, to seek some other method to
end the unsatisfactory situation. A3 all tho
Powers have assured this Government of
their wish to secure a solution that China
can agree to. there only remain details.
Although Japan gave her adherence to tho
Anglo-German agreement, tho authorities
hero are sure that tho Toklo Government
does not favor the execution of the Princes
and Mandarins, but is rather in sympathy
with the attitude of the United States, Rus
sia and France.
If Japan can be brought Into line, the bal
ance will be so strongly against Great Brit
ain and Germany that they will be forced
to agree to a more moderate plan.
It Is predicted by a diplomat to-dny that
so long as the negotiations remained In the
hands of the Ministers solution would be
Impossible. The State Department under
stands that Russia and France would like
to use some other method of reaching an
asrecment. but whether Great Britain and
Germany will do so Is a question which the
next few days will answer. The United
fitatea have not yet submitted a proposition
for an International conference to settle the
Chinese question, but it Is admitted that It
may be necessary to do so as a last resort.
ENGLISH IIITTKll TOWARD AMERICA.
London, Nov. 21. The bitterness with
which the London Times attacks every
move made by Washington in Chinese mut
ters seems to increase dally, and is all the
more surprising on account of the attitude
of the British Foreign Office. The princi
ples laid down in Secretary Hay's latest
note were given to a. representative of the
Associated Press by a British official before
the reception of Mr. Hay's note us voicing
tho opinion of the British Cabinet. Yet the
Times comes out to'day with a vigorous
protest against the idea of Mr. Hay's prin
ciples being considered.
Referring to the Cincinnati speech of Wu
Ting Fang, the Chinese Minister to the
United States, after saying that bis prom
ising the United States better commercial
chances when peace is restored would, in
some countries, be resented as an injury,
the paper adds:
"But, Wu Ting Fang seems to have
known his audience. All the comment an
Influential American paper makes is that
Wu Ting Fang knows that Americans, like
all others, give their own Interests first
place."
Takes liny to Task.
The Times then compares this attitude
with that of LI Hung Chang on his trip
around the world, during which, it is as
serted, he acted on the conviction that
pecuniary self-interest was the sole guiding
principle of the peoples and Governments
"which proved unsatisfactory recipients of
the multitudinous promises which he failed
Secretary Hay is taken severely to task
tvphled by this gicat organization, were a
mighty factor in the tecent contests. And
may we not alo ascribe much to the in
Iluenc of the home, with its affiliations'.'
In anv previous election was It greater or

tors? I.cnsoii ill Self-Goi eminent.
"Nothing in government can be more im
pressive than u national election, where
tho ptople delegate their power and Iniest
their constitutional agents with authority
to execute their behests. The very char
acter of tho transaction clothe It with
solemnity. It Is serious business. Its Is
sues are always momentous. What a lesson
In self-government It teaches.
"Sixteen million oters on the same date

and, to Insure its freedom and Independ
ence, the ballot a secret one. God forbid
that any citizen selected for that Bacred
trust should ever attempt to divert the will
of the sovereign people or tamper with the
eanctlty or their ballots.
"Some disappointments follow all elec
tions: but all men rejoice when an election
Is so dccislio as to admit of neither dis
pute nor contest. The value of a national
victory can only be rightly measured and
appreciated by what It averts, as well as
by what It accomplishes. It Is fortunate for
the party In power if it understands the
true meaning of the result. Those charged
by the ptople with administration and legis
lation ure required to Interpret as well as
to execute the public will, and Its rightful
interpretation i- essential to Its faithful
execution.
"We cannot overestimate the great im
portance and far-reaching consequences of
the electoral contest which ended on the
Cth of November. It has to me no personal
phase. It is not the triumph of an indi
vidual, not altogether of a. party, but an
emphatic declaration by tho people of what
they believe and would have maintained
In government.

"A great variety of subjects was pre

Pari?, Nov. Sl.-CCopyrisht, 1500, by W. R.
Hearst.) According to authoritative stories
current, not only in the American colony
here, but likewise In smart F"rench society.
Countess Botii de Castellane is at the pres
ent moment undergoing religious Instruc
tions at the hands of an eloquent Passion
Ist Father, with a view to becoming a con
vert to the Roman Catholic Church, into
which she Is to he admitted with much
pomp and ceremony before Christmas.
Indeed, according to some, the ceremony
is to take place here at the end of the next
week.
The recsnt action of tho Gould family In
security? cuntrol of the mangement of tho
fortune of the Countess and in thus ren
dering the enjoyment thereof by herself
and her husband entirely dependent upon
the good tv 111 of George Gould naturally
has had the effect of making the poltlon
here of Countess Anna exceedingly unpleas
ant. It therefore became incumbent upon the
Countess to make up her mind Tihether
she was going to throw in her lot with
her brothers .and sisters or with her hus
band and hlsfamlly.
Apparently she has chosen the latter alter
native, and with a view of giving a pledge
both to the Castellane family and to soclety
that she resents the action of George and
Helen Gould, and that she has been in no
sense of the word a consenting party to the
steps which they have taken to prevent her
fortune from being squandered, she Is now
abandoning the faith of her family In Amer

The Castellanes are devout Catholics and
her children have been reared in that faith.
She is now joining, therefore, the church to

Englishman Declares Kitchener
Meditates Great Slaughter.
London, Nov. 24. The forthcoming' promo
tion of Major General Lord Kitchener to a
Lieutenant Generalship elicits from Mr.
Charles William?, one of the leaders of the
war critics, the hltterest indictment of that
General ever published In England.
He declares General Kitchener meditates
a reckless and ruthless extermination of the
Boers, hoping to execute his atrocities amid
silence. like that of the tomb of the Mahdl.
He believes the British offlcera and men
will nofendure this, and that Kitchener will
stand revealed to this country as a scourge
inexorable.
Sir. Williams apologizes to Satan for men
tioning him in the same breath with

General Kelty-Kenny from Bloomfonteln

Rome. Nov. 2.-(Copyright, 1900, by V . It.
Hearst.) In spite of all denials, official and
otherwise. It Is certain to-day that the life
of Lo XIII hangs literally by a sinla
thread, and that ills death may be expected
at any moment-
Alnays fr.igil? In appearance, he has now
become so emaciated that he looks a mere
specter. He can no longer walk unassisted,
but spends tlie greater part of his day ly
ing upon a couch, and Is unable to take or
retain any iolld food. His regular houM
of meals have been abandoned, and he is
now fed whenever hungry, by means of
eggs beaten In old Marsala, biscuits dipped
In old port wine, chocol.ito beaten with
eggs, which alone serve to tustain his wan
ing forces.
His medical attendants Doctors Laponi
and Mazzonl. have taken up their residence
at the A'atlcan. and remain in turn con
stantly with the aged pontiff by night and
by day, while his body mrvant. Ceutr.l.
ncier leaves his side, even taking his me.ils
in the private apartments of tlie Pope.
His position is no sinecure, for he ib com
pelled to give to Leo XIII almost the same
attention that one would give a child. Leu
cannot bear the contact of wool or bilk, or
of anything but the iinest lawn with hl3
emaciated body, and owing to the danger
of catching cold when the lawn Is dampened
by perspiration. It is necessary that thitu
underclothes be changed frequently during
the day.
Vlnltetl by Amlrc-us Lane.
By desire of the pontiff. Andraes Lang
drove to the Vatican in the robes which he
wears when taking hl9 part in the "Passion
Play," and as the Swiss Guards and Noble
Guards had not been warned either of the
IdenWty of the visitor or of the costume in
which he would present himself, their
amazement when they beheld the livinjr
imnge of that Christ whom they had never
seen save In picture or sculpture may bo
easier imagined than describe.
Some of them threw themselves on their
knees, others prostrated themselves, while
even the most unemotional, after .1 few
fceconds' hesitation, presented arms, the
German prelate who accompanied the peas
ants finding it difficult to preserve becoming
gravity when witnessing the mingled amaze
ment and terror which the aspect of hi3
companion created.
The Pope received Andraes very kindly,
presented a gold medal to him and smilingly
declined to permit him to kneel before him,
declaring that it- was not right for a man
who lilted even in sacred drama the role of
the Savior to kneel before one who was
only the Vice Regent of the Savior here on
earth. The visit led to tho most extravagant
stories throughout the city, and - to-day
there arc 'thousands of people here belonging
to the lower classes, who, never having
heard of Oberammergau or of the "Passion
Play," are firmly convinced that Christ in
person visited Leo XIII the other day in or
der to warn him that his pontificate was
drawing to a cloj-e. ,

A Simple Internal Remedy Makcn Re
ninrknblc Cures of Catarrli.
People who have used sprays, inhaler?,
salves and washes for catarrh and have .
found bow useless and Inconvenient they
are will be agreeably surprised at results
following the use of a pleasant Internal
remedy in tablet form: druggists every
where admit that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
which they sell at 50 cents for fuil-slzed
treatment, Is the safest. inCbt effective and
popular of all catarrh remedies.
Nearlv all cheap cough mixtures and
throat lozenges contain opiates; these cheap
medicines i;iie a temporary relief, especi
ally nith little children, by destroying nerva
sensation; the irritation in throat, which
causes coughlne. is temporarily removed,
not bv removing the cause, but by deaden
ing tfie nerves of feeling the Irritation Is
not felt, although It is still there and will
promptly return. .
Stuart's fatarrh Tablets Is. the best rem
edy to remove catarrhal secretion, whether
in the nose, throat or stomach, because
they are composed of wholesome antiseptics
like Eue.iljptol. Guaiacol. Sanguinaria and
Iidr.itin: whn you use these tablets you
know 11 hat 5ou are putting into your sys
tem and not taking chances with cocaine,
opiates or similar poisons found In so many
catarrh cures and cough medicines.
Dr. Uamsdcil. in commenting on catarrn
cures, says: "I can heartily recommend
Stuart's Catarrli Tablet, because they con
tain no cocaine nor other dangerous drug
found in so many advertised catarrh cures.
I have known of many eases of long-standing
catarrh of the head and throat com
pletely cured by the dally use of theso tab
lets for several week?. One case In partic
ular, which I could not reach with an In
haler or spray, and where the citarrh
caused dally headaches and a noticeable
loss of hearing, was entirely cured by this
harmless but effective remedy."
Dr. Walnwright -says: "I never hesitate)
to prescribe Stuart's Catarrh Tablets for
catarrhal headaches and catarrhal deaf
ness, becaute I know them to be perfectly
snfo for child or adult and have seen manv
' remarkable cures resulting from their regu
. lar dally use: because they are advertised
I and sold in drug stores is no reason why
! any good physician should not use them.
I because we should seize upon the means of
cure wherever found."
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets arc especially
valuable for catarrhal colds in children, be
cause they are pleasant to the taste and
may be used freely to break up severe colds
and croup at the very beginning.
All druggists sell the remedy at fifty
cents for foil-sized package.
