1/k.as for President of the Senate
would be a very happy choice. So would
.Sherman. It may be Edmonds. Observe
the wealth of material. I
Is the hut House 8,030 bills wore in-1
troduced, aud J66 of them became laws.
The next House ought to do better, that
is to say, oiler fewer bills.
T?m Senate has passed several measures
to provide for the presidential succession,
but liif House has treated the subject as
littie worthy ol consideration.
Tijk meeting of citizens of Wheeling in
honor uf the late Vice President was a
lilting testimonial. In the death of every
eminent man there is a lesson for the
living.
Tjijc majority in the House ought to bear
minil Mint the Senate will not agree to
a general tearing up of the tariff. Thia
ought to leud the able majority to go
slow and let the country have a chance.
\[a. iilsmucks ib the tilth Vice-President
to die in ollice. Georgo Clinton, of
New York, died April, 1812; Elbridge
<Jerry, of Massachusatts, died November
I';;, 1?14; William R. King, of North Carolina,
died April 17,1003; -Henry Wilson,
o.' Massachusetts, died November 22,1875.
fioME of our esteemed cotemporaries are
gravely discussing the state of anarchy
which would ensue if the President were
to die while there is neither President ol
the Senate nor ftpemter 01 mo nuuae.
Tdero ought never to be such an interregnum,
but until the American peoplt
lose their heads wo are not in danger of
anarchy.

Indianapolis, Ind , Nov. 27.?All the
public buildings hero are covered with
ombleois of mourning and tiaKB arc displayed
at half-mast all over the city, and
citizens generally are doing everything
that suggests itself to make the observance
of the death of Vice President Hendricks
appropriate and fitting. On account of
| the strain on the nerves of Mrs. Hendricks,
visitors were excluded from the housy
last evening, but this morning the parlors
were again filled with sympathetic
frinnrifl. Mrs. Hendricks is almost nros
trated with grief and oxhauBtion, and her
physiciaus have given orders that she
shall see nobody unless there ia au emergency
for it.
R. A. Parka, the sculptor, arrived from
Chicago this morning, aud assisted by H.
Mueller, of this city, and F. B. Gessner, of
Cincinnati, took a plaster cast of Air. Hendricks'
face. It was not altogether satisfactory,
however, and at Mrs. Hendricks'
suggestion, Mr. Parka will make another (
cast in the morning, from which he will
model a bust.
The burial casket will bo hore in the
morning. It in made by the Stein Manufacturing
Company of Rochester, N. Y., 1
and is like that in which General Grant was
ouried.with the exception that it is covered
with black instead of dark purple broadcloth,
and'fs entirely of ccdar, there being .
ao metallic lining. A force of men are
engaged in building a white marble vault <

Washington, Nov. 27,?A'regular meetingof
the Cabinet washcld to day. All the
members were present. The President's j
nesaage, so far as completed, was read
*ud unanimously adopted. It is said to (
>e an unusually strong paper, containing
any new aud vuluable suggestions. The
question of attending the funeral of the
Vice President was considered and ,
wo or three cf the members of
he Cabinet said it would be
dino&t impossible for them to leave the '
aty at this time without neglecting mat- 1
ers of importance. The President ex- 1
tressed his determination to attend the '
.'uneral, as his message was almost ready
ind could easily be completed on his re- j
urn from Indianapolis. Tho Postmaster
General aud the Secretary of War and 1
Navy said that their reports wero all in j
thape and that they thought they would
be ablo to accompany the President. The
Secretary of State also thought ho could
irrauge to gu wnu iuc pan/.
The other members thought tho affaire
>f their departmenta would prevent thoir
eaving the city, it wan decided to leave
;he matter entirely to tho discretion of
<jach member, with the understanding that
ill who could go would do so. The party
?vill probably leave here on Monday morning.
The details of tho trip have been
placed in the hands of Colonel Laraont

proposod visit of President Cleveland to
Indianapolis, for the purpose of attending

it believes Mr. Cleveland should not leave
the White House at this juncture to make
the journey. The perils incident to the
necessarily rapid movement of a special

President, whose life and actual services
are now peculiarly valuable to the whole
people. Thore are too many risks attending
the trip, as it will necessarily have to
be made.

N?w York, Nov. 27.?The feeling of
thorough regret at the death of the Vice
President becomes more apparent as the

Brooklyn, to-day passed resolutions
of regret and joined witii tho countrv in
mourning the loss of one of the nation's
most eminent statesmen. The County

PiTTsuuitoir, Pa, Nov. 27.?Tho trouble
which waa anticipated in tho dispatches 1
last night, took place this morning at Jorlan
I. Neil's coal mines in the Fourth
pool. The strikers who arrived at the i
;>ool last night on tho steamboat Stella, sta- 1
;ioued them selves, about 200 strong, near 1
:he minao this morning, and as tho work- ]
nen appeared they arose in a body and <
iemacded that the workmen return to 1
;beir homes at oucp. Those who refused j
vere roughly treated. Neil had 100 men at '
work last night. When they attempted 1
;o return to work they were driven 1
jack with sticks and stones. Quite a '
lumber of uieu wore badly hurt, but '
none fatally. ICobert McGlure, of
;he iron and coal police, with six special
jtlicers were on hand uud made an ellbrt '
jo check the strikers, but not wishing to ]
precipitate a fatal risk by using their re- J
solvers, they retreated to await reinforce- 1
mmta. The strikers are now in uoaaea- 1
iiou of the mines aud have sent for more 6
>f their number to be on band this even- e
ng. Sheriti Chambers of Washington

reinforced aides is awaited with much ?
inxioty. The people in the region about 1

After the strikers had cleared the JJiel ,
mines of workmen, they proceeded to T. {

the mine and brought the men out, t

Since the first of last June the Chess,

up more than half time. After a shutdown
of two-mouths it is now back again
on six heats, making muck bars, a grade

treat deal of their muck bars, but in the
dnishiug department of the former all
Icinilsof sheet, plate, tank and boiler iron
ire made, while in the other all kinds of
oar and round iron are made. The only
fear now entertained is concerning the
mpplyoffuel in some mills, which is bo
uncurtain at times that it is with groat
iitliculty that the iron ..an be mado with)ut
exacting from one to two boars lopger
than the usual time for a day's work. The
affort which is made to change the time of
going to work will not succeed. Several
iron manufacturers are averse to the move,
[f the scarcity of gas continues it will be
necessary to fall back on coal.
The Union Iron Mills (Carnegie Bros.
k Co.) have built all of their furnaces
under the Siemen's process. The Cwens'
patent gas furnace has been pronounced
by the best English and American i
metallurgists, as second to none in the t
world for using cither manufactured or .
natural gas. The liOEt of building a fur- 1
ace for this process is not more than half t
that of the Siemen patent. The Ameri- |
?n ?oinn? la i.anil Mirniii/liniit thn (iloti- .
lion spike works (Dilworth, Sorter A Co.)
Several heating furnaces in Wilson,
Walkers & Co-'s mill, Owens' patent, give
general satis! ction. There are other
mills erecting similar furnaces. As a rule
the alteration* mail? by our manufacturers
in their furnaces will euahle tfiem to
change back to coal without extra expense.
in bome of the mills the men have
worked to the best of their advantage to
insure work. Last summer one turn
would go on at 12 o'clock in the day InBtead
of and o'clock in the morning, in
hope that in time a sufficient supply of
gas would be had, but when the men in
all the mills were aafced to change the
hours they refused to do so. It need not
excite surprise if some mills use coal
again, especially where the manufacturers
have their own mines,

this winter, he will occupy, with his family,
the elegant brown stono mansion on

Wi.flfa nl Iliu ltfu
Your correspondent called upon the j
West Virginia Senator to-day at NVil lard's, j
where he has apartments temporarily. ^
Mr. Camden was busily engaged with his
Secretary, in answering a mats of correspondence
and in entertaining the numer- 1
oub callers who were continually dropping
in. lie ixpressed himeelf us being much
grieved at the news of the death of the \
Vice-President. j
1 asked him who of all the Republican
Senators was his choice to succeed Mr. '
Hendricks hi Vice President, aud he I
promptly answered: \
IN FA volt OK LOO an. j
"Logan. Since we are to have a Repub* i
lican successor, I am heartily for Logan. r
1 think you will be cafe in saying that he 1
will be the choice of not only a majority a
of the Kepublican Senators, but also of the
Democrats. It is pretty generally con- L
ceded that he is entitled to it, having been c
the choice of his party for that position at t
the last election. Ho came within twolvo v
hundred votes of defeating Mr. Hendricks, t
fcnd 1 think his party will recognize the ^
justice of now placing him in the position ^
for which he came so near being the choice j,
jt the poople. Besides, life is uncertain, Q
md who knows but that such a calamity ^
is the President's death may be in store j
for the Nation? In that event I would t]
rather see General Logan in the I'residen- w
ial chair than any other Republican Sen- ^
itor who would likely be chosen Vice
President" j,
"How about Mr. E Imuude?" t]
"lie is a long ways from being my choice ^
or the ofllce. lie is a gooiman.and ?
jenato. His disposition, however, wouid /,
>e against him, aud he would not be pop- tj
ilar. Ho is a cold, cynical, Bullish man, -u
ind I do not believe his choice would give ^
atiafaction to the moss of tho people. ^
I'KKSlDBNTIAL SUCCESSION. CI
The Senator is of the opinion that Con;ress
should take some immediate action ^
n the matter of succession to the presi- ['
lency. Again, ho said, is tho country re- bi
ainded forcibly of tho possibilities which &
uight ensue should accident occur be- C(
ween now and tho assembling of the
it-nate. Suppose President Cleveland
houlddie to-morrow, tho Nation would 11
>e thrown into a stato of anarchy. There
s no Speaker of the House of ltepresentaivee,
no Vic? Pretiident?who would there tl
>e to act as Chief Magistrate? Under the a
aw, ten days notice must be given before
, special session of Congress can convene.
is the matter now ttands, President C
jieveland's life is precious to the Nation, ei
t is all that stands between the country
md anarchy.
Tho prayer that ascended from many a c<
Democratic heart to-day at the Thanks- C
[iving services was no doubt, iu the R
anguage of the morning Post: '*God gave fl<
President Clevelaud. His life is all that *]
ntervenes between the continuance of A
Democratic rule aud a return ol the Reitiblican
party to power!"
AIJOL'T DISSATISFIED DEMOCRATS. ai
I asked Senator Camden if ho had seen U
ato copies of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
vhich has been dishing up West Virginia ?
nattera from Washington, and intimating aj
hat the Stalwart Democrats of our State ?
ire difcaatialied with the administration
j^cause of an allege*} slowness in the mat- A
or of reforming the Republicans out of J*
illice. He replied: rr
"Vyeat Virginia Democrats have no f1
muse to complain of the administration j1
n this reapect. Removals and appoint- tr
nenta have been made in our stato as
apidly as we have asked for them. There
s not a single instance of any of our requests
being ignored. The result is that 10
here are now very few Republicans in lc
itjicein the State. The changes have
)een mado in & manner which had in l
riew the good of the public service. 1 r
enow there is some complaint among (j
democrats that District Attorney Flick \]
md two or three lees important oiUcers R
ernain in, but that is simply because Q
here has been no effort made to remove y
hem. The administration should not bo r
:ensured for these things. If there are k
iepuhlicans in ollice in West Virginia,
lur friends have only to thank themselves vi
or it."
COL. bKN WJLMJf's YfKWS.
Col. Ben Wilson, who happened to drop
n about this time, interjected the remark tli
hat he was satisfied so far with the num>er
of removals but hoped "thu powers fa
hat be" would not rest until every Remblican
office-holder in West Virginia
lad been retired. As to Judge Flick? a,
veil, he lilced Flick personally, but
bought he ought to go with the rust. 0j
It was upon your correspondent's lips v
t) say: "But, Colonel, isn't it a fact that te
rou? lato constituents in the First disxict
aro heaping malodictious upon your
lead for having a Republican appointed *
o the postal servico recently iu the face of r>

Camden, apparently realizing that
Uncle 3eo was carelessly handling a dan- [>
:erous weapon, discreetly changed the *K
luhject. "

ident Cleveland's Cabinet. Benator Mc- ?
Donald ia said to be a candidate for the H
United States .Senate, and, with Hendricks
dead, he will probably be elected to that e
position two years heuce. Dan Voorheea ii
and McDonald are friends, and Senator r
Voorheea' remarks last night that i
the death of Hendricks would have no p
effect upon the Democracy of Indiana,
and that thero were BtiU able Democratic 0
leaders, viewed in connection with Mc* d
Donald's candidacy, are significant. r
An Indiana Congressman says it haa (
been fomented and augmented by the t
women of the two families, and more par- .
ticularly by Mrs. Hendricks. Vice Preeident
Hendricks was essentially a trimmer,
and he would have no enemies in bis own a
State if he could help it. Mrs. Hendricks, I
however, is bright, aggraaWe aad very 1
ambitious. She expected to be one of the
leaders of Washington society this winter,
and she was well suited to take tuch a
position. As the wife of Hendricks as
Governor of Indiana and as Senator, she
had a long social training, and there being
no President's wife, she had the right to
expect to rank as the equal if not the
superior of Miss Cleveland. McDonald's
wile was at one time a clerk in one
of the Washington departments. But
she was an elegant and accomplished lady,
and had McDouald been appointed Attorney
General she would have cut as much
of a ligure in the society of this administration
as Mrs. Brewster, who,by the way,
was alBO a department clerk, cut during
the administration of President Arthur.
Mrs. Hendricks naturally did not want
her enemy, Mrs. McDonald{ contesting
lirr PUDUIUM on n icnuiu^ ow.is?; nwiuHM
of the West at Washington, and bcr husband
called upon Cleveland at Albany,
and it is said there opposed McDonald's
appointment. The primary cause of the
trouble between Mrs. Hendricks and Mrs.
McDonald was that Mrs. McDonald had
been divorced before she was married to
Senator McDonald.

horrible massacre at Frog Lake, on the 31
of April lost. The bloody work was commenced
by Wandering Spirit, and was
afterwards carried on under his direction
until the white people of the Frog Lake
settlement were almost exterminated. On
the morning of the fatal day, according to
the most trustworthy accounts, a number
af the Indians of Big Bear's band determined
to stop tho white man's reign and
assert their own sovereignty over the
land. This was believed to be a consequence
of Kiel's uprising, tho nows of the
light at Duck Lake having reached the
Indians at Frog Lake only a few days pre- '
riously. i
Up to the morning of the 3d of April no <
lostile demonstration had been made, I
ilthough there were not wanting signs of '
i rebellious spirit on the part of the sav- 1

Quite a dispute here at present, l'leas*

several persons. Yours,
1J. McOafkkky.
The above is a sample of daily interrogatories
ol the question to which Mr. McCaffrey
refers, and we will takethi6iuethoo
of answering all as to the position ano
stand the Amalgamated Association talce?
on it. The Amalgamated Association i?
a trades union, based on union principles,
And il. nnnpHilttR tli.it. riwht. lo ovorv niht??i
uniou, whether composed of skilled or unskilled
labor. For one man to take the
situation of another man who is striking
(or what he consider} hia' rights, 1b blackaheepingin
the eyes of the Amalgamated
Association, though tho man who does
that be n mom tier of a trades union.
Tho Amalgamated Association, hi tin
matter now stands, has no juris
diction in the JeUergon iron
works at Steubenville, nor tho Laughlin
mill at . Martin's Ferry, nor the ha Belle,
Belmont or Top mills at Wheeling, and
several other placea, owing to the nailer*
und heaters and rollers in thoso mills withdrawing
from it, and therefore tho Amal- 1
?arnatod Association had no right to ami
nas fixed no prices for her members tn
Korkior in such mills. The United Nail- 1
jrs' organization has, and though that organization
is composed o( members who '
iaw lit to withdraw from the Amalgamated
Association, it must be remembered that
t is a trades union, and is entitled to at :
nuch consideration and moral suQ|)ort at- |
iny other trades union. They have do- '
lidcd to demand a certain figure for their
abor, a iigure Bomewhai higher than that f
lemandeil by the Amalgamated Associaion
for the same kind o! work in mi lip r
there it, tho Amalgamated Association, t
ma eh organization, aim 10 go
o work for Amalgamated Aesocia- '
ion prices in a mill where it ha* H
to jurisdiction, and wliero the men are on r
fltrike for a price fixed by their uuion, i
irould be, in tho eyes of the Amalgamated v
Lssociatiou, double-dyed blaokaheeping, c
ud the Amalgamated Association will not '
phold any of its' members iu so doing,
uch was tho feeling that permeated it* d
ouvontion held at Wheeling last August, 4
nd we hope that its members everywhere 1<
rill adhere to it. It would be very differ- "
nt had thu Amalgamated Association ?
irisdietion in any part of a nail mill v
rliere the nailers are on a strike. 1 n that
ase all tho Amalgamated Association
ould ask would bo tho signing of their t
.ilo and the men would go to work at
iieir own join in such mill. We hope
nat this will settle this question once and

II union men should adhtre to and up- ii
old it. i

Messrs. McGufly <fc Co., of Pittsburgh,
iud tho Standard Oil Company are rushtig
their agenta belter skelter, leasing and
engaging territory.
The theory of the renters is based upon
the fact that the oil belt, following a line
consistent with the prevailing rules of oil
belts, passes in a line from the established
wells of Washington county, Pa., to those
it Burning Spiings, in this State, which
would make the hallowed precinct (for
oil) between a point twenty-five miles east
of Wheeling and forty miles west of
Grafton, which places this Beetion but a
little east of the centre of the belt.
The three companies now in the flell
tre contending for the same belt of territory,
and are now making it rather interesting
for ono another. Many years
4go wells were sunk both east and went of
this locality without any good.
The White survey is the ono now fol,owed,
and oil ia fully expected at the
lepth noted by White, i!,700 feet.
There is, some ten miles from hero, a
