Ciiaklkkto.v, W. Va., Feb. 9.?It is
understood that tbe committee on the '
apportionment of the State will not be
ready to report for gome days, and it ia ,
suspected that wiien It dot?, tbe plan
will provide for Democratic advantage ,
if there is any possible way to ao ar- t
range it. t
They all claim only-to deaire to redia- t
trict according to population and geo- f
grpbical location of counties, although p
some people are unkind enough to qnes- (
tion the sincerity of the Democratic t
brethren in thla. Hon. Komeo H. Freer, I
of Ritchie, believing they are honeat in ?
their protestations, haa prepared bllla e
which will probably be introduced to- c
morrow. He hns studied the matter I
carefully, and thinks tbe following, or- f
ranged on a basis of 10,000 for counties \
and ilslcufllo districts, And ranging from IJ
58,000 to 01.000 lor Congressional (lis- c
trlcts, is about Uie right tbing. The bill ?

Fourth?Pleasants, Wood, Wirt, Cal- w
houn, JacksoD, Koane, Mason, Putnam, fr
Cabell, Lincoln, Logan, Boone and Wy- iD
omlng. M
The other bill arranges for Senators tti
and Delegates as follows: el

gale district: First?Eoane and Olay: _
Second?Braxton and Webster; Third *
?Mercer and Summers. . V
All who have neon Mr. Freer's bill fj
agree that it would be very difficult to r
propose a better arrangement. The "
only argument that can be offered
against it ia that It does not give Democrat!
the advantage where it is supposed "
they desire, but for a lair and equitable "j
arrangement it will be bard to beat

timet were expected at the meeting ol j'
tbe House Judiciary Committee this af- ^
ternoon when the bill to extend Charles- d
ton's corporato limits was to be dis- ri
cussed. The committee appointed by
Council, with others interested, wero on
hand to advocate tbe bill, and ex-Oov- v
ernor Wilson, Hon. 0. P. Snyder, Major
J. K. Dana and others were present to 4
oppose it The discussion would probably
have been, warm, but as tbe lull
committee was not present action was
postponed until to-morrow afternoon, d
There is strong feeling both for and 0
against the bill, and while it is chiefly of t
local interest, tbe debate upon It will ?
likely be among the most Interesting of if
the session. The committee will report s
favorably to-morrow upon the bill re- >1

Pabkbbsbdbq, W. Va,, Feb. 9.?The
11 now before the Legislature, the title
which Editor A. B. White, of the
ate Journal, thinks ought to be
tended so aa to read, "A bill to Rive pi
idge J. M. Jackson an office," is in a *
ir way to become a law, and will in all
obabllity give the noted Judge an
Bee. K'
The bill in plain English ia one an- *1
oriziBg the establishing in Wood
nnty of a Criminal Oourt to be pre- ii
led over by a Judge appointed by a g
Bmocratic Governor, the recipient of b
bich honor will in all likelihood be the '(
[-Judge above mentioned. In jplainer y
nglish it is a bill to saddle on the peo- ti
e of the county an additional oilice fc
)lder who must draw a fat salary, h
hich the people must be taxed to pay.
Why Wood county stands in need of
lother judge is not plain to the aver, i
[e eye, unless looked at through the
>ggles of a pettifogger. One judge and 4
le court has been sufficient to the
aeds of the county, and without being
rerworked, either. "
II the matter were left to the people, c
1 it should be, they would not have a a
'etnocratic Judge, hut they would ?
naah the whole bill. The majority of
lem think there are enough courts, ?
idges and lawyers now and to spare. >'
bey also think that Judge Boreman ia ?

CnicAoo, Feb. 9.?James A. Owenby,
who testified before the Silver Fool Investigation,
returned to*day.
"I don't want to do the baby act,"
laid Mr. Owenby, "but my treatment before
the inquisition was terrible. Several
of the Congressmen made every
effort to render my testimony as larcical
as their investigation. They asked me
hypothetical questions, most of them
ongones and abounding in technical
arms, four and five at a time, and then
'efased to repeat them. I was not
illowed to sit within ten feet of my atorney,
and all my attempts to have the
itenographer repeat my answers and
itipaMonn mpfc withsnearfl.
"My arrest was part of the plan of the
lommittee to break down my testimony.

and the House. Cashier J. M.
)ouald did not ell the facta in his test iaony.
When I swore that he waa actog
&b treaaurer of the Congressional
peculators who were to make money
n the silver measure, I had proof to
bat effect. Donald engaged me to look
fter the Washington end of the affair,
ocausH he said he could not trust anyne
connected with Congress.
"Here is the cipher which I waa to
s?* in telegraphing him at New York,
ad which the committee refused to
How in evidence. It consists of five
ords, the meaning of which is as foliws:
"'Cumberland?bill killed for this seeon.'
'"Pennsylvania?bill killed for this
eek.'
'"New York?House bill passed, with
sw certificates as legal tender.'
" 'New Jersey?Houee bill passed, but
>rtificates to be bullion values.'
"'Connecticut?Conference Commit- L
e disagrees.' j

ha Bill Which Gliuirmtui Curt or Expects
to lleport Slay Pun the House.
\kcUU Ihrpatch to the InteUtaenccr,
Washington, D. 0., Feb. 9.?Repreantative
Garter, of Montana, who is
iiairman of the Committee on Mines
nd Mining and a member of the Com* '
littee on Coinage, Weights and Measres,
said this afternoon that he be*
ieved that the latter committee would,
ritbin a week, report upon the Senate
Jniimited Coinage bill. He was un>ble
to say whether the committee
rould simply make an adverse report
ipon that measure without recommend'
ng anything, or whether it would pro*
tose as a substitute a bill providing for
he unlimited free coinage of American
lilver only. Mr. Carter was sure of one
hing, however, and that wai that what* '
iver action the committee may take
rill be ratified by the House. He said
he unlimited coinage of all silver ofered
was entirely out of the question,
ind that trienda of unlimited coinage
mve wrecked theircause in the Senate 6y
rarious trades and propositions to weigh
lown appropriation bills witb thequus.ion.
He said free coinage (or American
rilver would readily pass either house,
ind ofconrse the President would cheer- '
ally sign it There was a conference
lonightof the free coinage men, and it
j the impression among even the most
irdent unlimited coinage advocates that
I there is any final legislation npon the
diver question during this session it
rill provide only for the coinage of
American silver. It mav be, however,
that if a measure of this character is
passed it will contain the further provision
that should the amount of American
silver offered for coinage not aggregate
In each year the amount now pur:haaed
by the Secretary of the Treasury
lie may buy from the market a sufficient
imount of foreign silver to bring the
total np to the present purchase.

from th? Ilia Chlvfs.
Washington, Feb.9.?The conference j
with the Sioux Indian delegation was
resumed this morning by the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs. Commissioner
Morgan said he thonght they had already
heard all that was necessary in
regard to the past. What was wanted
now was to bear their plana for the future.
He was prepared to issue the
$100,000 worth of beef to the Indiana
entitled to receive it, which was cnt off
in tbe past.
Senator Dawes, who was present, said
if the Indians aid their part and were
industrious the Government would undoubtedly
do its part and help them to
become self-supporting.
The Qrst speaker from the Indian
delegation was White Ghost, of tbe
Crow Creek reservation, who spoke of
the encroachments of tbe whites upon
the lands of Indians. Tbe Commissioner
assured him that be would have
the matter fully investigated and remedied.
Be spoke ot the rstlons of coffee, and
said that it amounted to only 100 grains
a week to each person. He referred to
tbe smsli rations of bacan issued, and
said that at a meeetingof tbe delegation '
yesterday tbe unanimous decision was
reached that they did not wont military '
agents.
When he had finished Commissioner 1
Morgan called the attention of tbe In* ,
liana to tbe difficulty in getting a cor*
rect census of tbe Indians. He said be .
wanted the aid of tbe Indians in getting '
it tbe truth. .
Big Mane, of the lower Brule Agency, |
old tbe Commissioner that the white '
>eople prevented the Indians from get*
log fuel and hay. He wanted tbe {
igency moved nearer. They need bet- }
er scbool facilities. He complained of J
he small sizu of beef cattle given them J
or food and humorously attributed it to 1
he defective eyesight of the agent.
Little No Heart, from tbe Cheyenne v
iver agency, said tbat his people want- c
id more and larger schools, where their 0
ibildren could learn the white man's jj
rays. He protested against the appoint- ?
cent of military agents.
Several others spoke, but nothing of '
pecial interest was elicited. Another 1
onference will be beld on Wednesday, ?
vheu the Indians from Pine Ridge and
loeebud agencies will epaak. *

Are Taken Out Alive.
Wilkksbabrk, Pa., Feb. 9.?Intense
joy and excitement prevails at Grand
Tunnel over the rescue of the three
minera who were imprisoned by water
rnjbing into the Susqnehsnna colliery
on Wednesday last. The names of the
men are Michael 8helank. William
Oraga and John Rlner. > They were
found in the workings near the outcrop,
the water not reaching tbem after they
got oat ol its swirl. They were found
almost exhausted from their 115 hours'
imprisonment. Tbeir sufferings were
intense, bnt the outcrop workings being
fairly well ventilated they got enough
sir to keen them alive.
Those who first suggested that they
inter lit hn nlivit uvre ttiouuht to be half

and rescuers set to work with all that
fury of energy with which miners go to
(be relief of their comradis, not knowing
how eoon their own time may come
to need a like eBort on their behalf.
Night and day the work has gone on.
Even if the men escaped drowning there
*ras small cbancs of tneir escaping suffojatiofl
from the foal air. Day after day
jassed and, though the energy of the
owners cover flagged, their hope wa?
rt-ll nigh dead.
At aa early hoar this morning their
rowing despair was turned to wild joy.
torn far buck in the mine there came a
Kint cry. For a moment the men ceased
heir work. They could hardly believe
heir own ears. Then again as they
lood breathless the weak, faint voice
ras heard. The answer was a wild
beer, and with a sort of blind fury the
nen fell at their work again. At 3
'clock this morning the vqfce could be
istinctly heard; a little later words
ould be made out. The three men j,
rere all alive aud unhurt, "but for a
tod's sake hurry." No urging was j,
leeded.
In a lew moments the rescuers were f
luiost within touch of them. A raft (
;as made, and on it a party groped their t
ray in darkness to the little cramped* j
p space in which the three poor fellows p
ad spent their five horrible days. In a 0
ttle hole in the top of the crossheading D
hey were found. The water was almost
p to' their very feet. In a jiffy th?*y
iilled down and went on to the rafi,
ad a few moments later they weie out *
a the sunlight with their comrades,
ugging them and kissing them like
aadmen, welcoming them as the dead ?
ome to life again. There have been
aany touching scenes around the black
aouth of the mines hereabouts, bat eel- 1
om one that moved men's hearts more t
ban they did the wild demonstrations t
iver these poor rescued miners.

King Carnival reigned supreme at tbr
cosy ciab hobse of the Arion lust night,
and under his merry rale many happy
honra were spent. The masquerade ball I
given laat night by the society was 01 e
of the most auccesaful affairs of the seiaon,
so much so, in fact, that, as some of
the members stated, no society iu any
otber city of the sue of Wheeling can
surpuga it.
The ball was- opened by a grand
march, participated in by all the characters
en masque. At the close of tbi
march, Mr. F. J. Lange, the Prince
Carnival of the evening, delivered an ad
dress, replete with good sense and embellished
with aparkling corruscations
of wit, with several good-natured bits a'
the various sections of the society. A'
the conclusion of the address from the
throne, the Opera House Orchestra
struck up an air, and the dancing began
Many varietiea of character were rep
resented in costume, and all the cos
tumes, both humorous and allegorical,
were so well gotten up that it would be
invidious to make comparlaons. Thenwere,
however, several costumes which
excelled la beauty ana originality. ,
Among these may be mentioned that ol ,
the Prince, tbe Spanish anil Gypsy
maidens, the "milk maids," "Lalla
Bookh" and "The Huntress." George I
Ebeling, as the Chinese tea merchant, I
looked and acted the character to per |
lection. Among the costumes of a hu t
morons character were to be eapecially ,
noted "Uncle Sam's menagerie," s "sad '
lea dog," "West Virginia hayaeeds |
'queering the Wheeling electric light [
Jill," "the man in the moon," elephants, ;
[iraffes, etc.
One of the most unique and pleasing '

lause. Up to the hour of midnight the
rivileges of tbe dancing floor were ac- ,j
orded to the characters in coitnme ,
lone. At tbe stroke of twelve, all the .
ivlt?d guests were permitted to go on ?
le floor. i.
Lam night's carnival masquerade was
le most brilliant of any like entertainlenta
given by the Arion, and carries
ff the palm over all formal carnival en- A
irtainmeuts. ,1

The following ia a quotation from tbe
etter: "While the underaigned are firm
talievere in all the dogmaa of the Cathoic
church, including that of theinfaililility
of the Pope in dealing with que)iona
of faith, morale and church disciiline,
they are not aware that tho Pope,
nucli leea any prelate of lower denee,
laa ever claimed to be infallible in dealng
with aucb a queation aa tbat of tb?
irobable effect upon the Dominion of
inreatricted reciprocity with the Uniteu
Itatee. They cannot believe that your
rrace intended to lay down the propoItion
that, in a queation of thia nature,
(herein tbe religious element does not
nter, any Archblahop or Blahop can
peak infallibly and command the obeIence
of bia people."
In reply to thia letter, Archblahop
I'Brlen writes: "I was under the impr
ion until to-day tbat my letter waa ao
npereonal in character, and its aubjtct
latter handled with ao little pereontl
wling, that it would not cauae regret to
oy one. In thia I find with aorrcw
lat I have been mistaken. You are
uite right in not believing in tbe in*
illibility of my judgment, but I n
link that, upon reflection, you will
tree with me that It would have be' n
uite time enough to tell me ao when I
ad become ao ellly aa to lay claim to tl e
rerogative. But apart altogether from
lie, I truat that 'you do not intend to
ly down the propoaitlon tbat in ordt r
> command, one must be infallible.
"Tbat would be tbe death blow of all
arentage and civic authority. I think
may assume that whenever, in tbe
iechaige of my ofilcial dutiee, I make
oy declarationa or shall give any adice
or commanda tbey will be ao clearr
explained and ao thoroughly in keepig
with Oatholio doctrine tbat they will
voke uo protests from those who be- .
eve in all the dogmas of the cburcb."

Toronto, Ont., Feb. 0.?Sir John McDonald
has published an address to the
lectors of Cauada, in which he nays:
"The commerce of the country occupies
tie foremost place in the public mind,
lur policy, in respect thereto is directed
y a flfiu determination to develop the
DHuurces of tbe. Dominion by every
jeans consistent with Canada's position
b an integral portion of the Dritinh Emire.
We have applied ouruelvta to

D-alin# with tbe opposition, h? says:
ue reiunn party nns announced 1UJ
olinv lo b? unrestricted reciprocity,
'hat is, aa defined by I to author. Mr.
Viman, Ireu trade with the United
tales and a common tarifi with tho
Jnitcd States against the reat of the
rorld. The adoption of thia policy
rould involve, among other great evlla,
liscrimination against the mother
onntry.
"It would inevitably reault In the anlexation
of the Dominion to the Uoiteil
itates. On thia line they deny
hat it would have that ofleot, though in
he United States they aay reciprocity
rould he the first step toward political
iniou."
Attar showing these objections to the
cheme, Sir John submit* the following:
'Shall wo endanger the great heritage
lequoathed by our fathers and submit
0 direct taxation to have our tariff fixed
it Washington, and ultimately beconre
>art of the American union? I haie
confidence that you will abow yourulves
