The B. & O. Deal, The semi-official confirmation of the report original>y published in Chicago, to the effect that a wealthy Chicago syndicate has obtained a large interest in the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, a controlling interest, In fact, leaves no doubt of its truth, although there are conflicting repom concerning the purpose and the details of the (deal. One report, published by a Chicago paper, alleges that the object Is to make the Baltimore & Ohio a link in a transcontinental line, the road joining the Great Northern through a connection by some other line. "We presume this grows out of the report, in circulation some time since, of & projected grand trunk line from ocean to ocean, and to be controlled by wtatern capital. This story Is denied, however, by Philip D. Armour, one of the purchasers of the road, and James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern, who, it is stated, Is to have a hand in the reorganization, being one of those furnishing the capital for the deal. wnaievcr me pun.- w. mwu ?. v apparently gained control of the Baltimore & Ohio, whether th-. scheme 1b the pne Just referred to, or whether the capital IdLs of Chicago have simply pought the road as an Investment and with the Intention, as they declare ot improving the system, and bringing It to a paying basis, the opinion is general ' that the financial affairs of the road jrlUl be In safe hands, whlcu will be tmlnently satisfactory to Its friends. No ?et of men could engage in such an undertaking whose names could carry p, better guarantee of success than those Connected with the deal. Armour, Field, Ream and Hill are all men who inspire confidence in every enterprise qrtth which they connect themselves. The present receivers fit the Baltimore Be. Ohio have accomplished wonders considering the bad shape they found the affairs of the road In when they took am & result of many years of bad management. And are entitled to much crcdlt. The million* spent on Improvement* by the receivers, however. hav?> been we 11 placed, and the safety and equipment have been vastly Improved. Whatever 1ft In the future under changed conditions and management pf the Baltimore & Ohio, It I* more than probable It will be In the line of greater prosperity, which means nv cr for the commercial Interests alt uiotig the road. (Wheeling 10 not the least Important of fh? communtle* Interested. A Yellow Sensation. K case of yellow Journal detective work, and one which serves to illustrate 1 the very worst features of the type of I sensational newspaper methods which j Is doing #0 much to bring discredit upon 1 the profession in this country, nnd to | corrupt the public tnste for news, is 1 afforded by tho reappearance of Marlon Oroet Perkins nt her homo In MlduiebnT>, Mars., Just In time to *top the burial of oomc dismembered remains that hud been "positively Identified" ns her own. The public Is familiar with the mystery of the finding of the remain* of a 1 murdered girl nt Bridgeport, Conn. The parent* of Miss Perkins, who had disappeared with a >'oung man of the community, believed it was a ease of elopement, and that she would return home. I But tho New York yellow press was still I doing business at the old stand. The re- i mains found at Bridgeport, when exam- j ined, ronemblcd somewhat the missing Miss Perkins. I One of tho yellow sheets, after having the teeth of the latter described to It, | noted a resemblance of fholr formation lo those In the severed head of the I murdored woman, anrl published, I a "chart" of them. Finally, the friends of WLss Perkins thought they found enough resemblance In the teeth and other feature*, and the conclusion iva? reachcd that she had bueu murdered j ad her body dismembered to prevent ] identification asd hide tile evidence or another crime. The yellow paper came again on the scene, malting traffic or Ita publication 01 the "chart." which It declared waa a piece ot newspaper enterprise which led to the unravelling of the mystery. That waa not all. In thle connection the yellow ahcet published many details undt to be printed In a reputable newspaper, tracing the disappearance oJ the girl and her lover, and tending to how him to be Implicated In her death, and Involving another woman. This publication was on Saturday morn Ing, the day on which the runerai eer- vices over the supposed remains of Miss Perkins were to occur. Shortly before the hour fixed, a train arrived In Middleboro, bearing Miss Perkins, now Mrs. Bourne, accompanied by her husband, upon whom the yellow journal had, through Its rare enterprise, fixed, in part at least, the crime of having murdered her. Both were as well and happy as a runaway bride and groom could be .and were astounded to learn that their temporary absence had caused so much mystery and grief. As for the body supposed to be that of Miss Perkins is still the subject of much mystery, and the yellow papers have an opportunity to do 6ome more fine detective work and harrow the feelings of some other parents by their sensational discoveries, Th? Rtsconsibllfrv. The defense which Surgeon General Sternberg makes of the conduct of the medical department of the Army Is Interesting at this time, when that department ot the military service Is under lire as a result of the sensational publications and the wildly exaggerated statements that have been made. The surgeon general deals with the matter frankly, and clearly shows that many newspaper articles have been based upon a misapprehension of the responsibility of the head of the department. Incidentally, It may be recalled that some time since he asked for an Investigation, in order that the responsibility for whatever causes for complaint there were might be fixed, and that the medical department Is In- c eluded in the Hat of branches of the service which the President proposes to Inquire Into. I It appear* that the surgeon general t himself Is nnt directly responsible for I field work In the armies. There Is a chief surgeon for each army corps, who t is only responsible to the commanding < general, while th? five hundred regi- j mental surgeons lit the volunteer army a are appointees of the governors of the a states, and not of the war department J There are six hundred contract surgeons t employed, making eleven hundred sur- > goon?, the details of whose work it i would be 'absurd to hold the surgeon t general qi me army resiwimiujc iu?. Dr. Sternberg declares that the surgeon general Is responsible for the purchase and Issuing of medical supplies. These duties have been faithfully performed, as has already been shown, but he shows plainly the Important fact that It is wholly the duty of the medical officers with the commands and the regimental surgeons to make the requisitions for supplies. Herein seems to He the cause for many complaints. The office at Washington could not furnish supplies unless the applications were made for them and made In time. Tf supplies were permitted to become exhausted before notifications for more medicines were given the medical headquarters could not be blamed, but (he officers on duty In thv camps. Surgeon General Sternberg does rfot attempt to shirk his own 1 personal responsibility, but he enllght- [ ens the public upon the details of the j service and upon the real responslblll- 1 ties In a way which will do much In j clearing away misunderstandings. , Another matter which the surgeon genera] calls attention to is that the medical department la In no way connected with the transportation of troops on trans en route from camps to the homes of the soldiers, nor has the surgeon general control of the transport ships, about which complaints have i been made, except !n the case of two hospital shCps, neither of which bas been the cause of any criticism. General Sternberg has made out a pretty strong case In his statement Eleven hundred surgeons have bad direct charge of the sick, while regimental commanders have had the duty of compelling the observance of sanitary rules .in?l th? laws of health by the troops, ff red tape hns at any time caused delay In <mnntir>.? It In tho fault of the system. That has already been correc:- , ed. The sensational press Is responsible for any misapprehension among the people. ; Logic o! the Situation* ] Wood county Republicans opened ] their campaign Saturday under auspi- 1 clous circumstances. The Democratic > "state organ," published In this city, has i a dispatch from Parkorsbur* stating ' that the crowd numbered about 700 ' persons. Seven thousand would havo been nearer the e^tlmat*. The enthusiasm of the occasion Ih an augury for the future of the campaign In the Fourth district, Democratic misrepresentations that the affair had no significance to the contrary notwithstanding. Left without nn l.i*ye save a poll cy of abuse of national and stole annuni.itrnHons. It will not be surprising to see any aort of an account of Republican meeting* In the Democratic organs. The Republicans of West Virginia are not carrying on their campaigns on that lino. They have a cause, and the logic of the situation is behind them. Nationally the party will stand by tho record that has been made in tho management of the government as demonAt rated in the legislation and In the genoral condition of the country. Agaln.it this there Is not a Democratic Issue of a tangible nature. That 1s why the resort is made to a campaign of misrepresentation. As In the pnst. and In 1K00 particularly, tho intelllgonco and the patriotism of the people will not bo affected by such n course. It was demonstrated at I'arker?burg, j by the outpouring of tho people and the i enthusiasm which greeted tho telling I blows delivered by tho speakers, that \ Republicans are awake to the real Issues vhich they advocate, and those issues vlll be found In the record# of the buailess world, and of the general advancenent of the country, even In the midst if a war crisis. In the death of Rev. Dr. John Hall, of few York, there has passed away one >f the greatest clergyman In America, lis greatness not won by his powers of iratory. but by his wonderful force of haracter and his persouality which won nen to him. Although not a native of his country, he embodied ike American j plrit, and as pastor of the wealthiest, | ind one- nof'"' the most fashionable j ihurches In the metropolis, the Fifth Lvenue Presbyterian, he was noted the onntir.^sr for his Independence. His cholsrly attainments;--his depth as a hinker, his charm as an author of good >ooks, his splendid, character, marked jlm from the beginning: of his career n this coufltipk.-after coming from Ireand In 1867, as a man who would tako llgh rank, a prediction which was fulllled. The regret over his death will lot be confined within denominational inej. If the President Is correctly reported, I ind there is no reason to believe that le Is not, the Inquiry Into the conduct >f certain branches of the military service In justice to the officers who have >een charged with responsibility for al- j eged shortcomings, will not fail on acrount of officers and others refusing to j estlfy concerning charges that have ' >een made. In. answer to thls#expressed j Proal/font atatoA that he exnect- I id no such difficulty, but If It did occur, le "would know the reason why." This I vas significant enough to meet the obectlon. While the czar of Russia Is waiting or something good to come out of ills llsarmament and universal peace propwltlon, the skies of Europe are overcast with clouds that portend momentius events In an entirely opposite director In several particulars the si {union Is not at all favorable to a permalent peace, and It wouldn't be surprisng to see the czar himself taking an ictlve hand In one or two phases. That Joint DtecniHtoit. In an Interview in the Charleston Aail Tribune anent the joint discussion >etween Gen. Watts and*Governor At- j tinson. Chairman Dawson says: "I think I have done a good thing for I he Republican party In securing jointI Hsucsslons between Governor AtklnBon md Gen. Watts. I am not at all sur>riacd that Chairman Ohley declined to issist In this matter. Mr. Ohloy is a very ihrewd politician and a very good mnniger, and he knows that the Issues, this 'ear, are not with his party. He hopes j .0 catch our people asleep. I believe ve should force the fighting all along he line. "I am perfectly well aware that the ittempt lias been made to offset this irrangement by creating a belief that have put Gov. Atkinson on the stump is a senatorial candidate. I was perfectly aware that his would be said, md I gave the mattercareful consldera;lon; but I did not see why the goverlor should be kept off the stump; beildes I expect to arrange for joint dlsjusslons between other gentlemen soon. Vh to the senatorshlp, the first duty of Republicans is to elect a Republican legislature, and that legislature will fleet Governor Atkinson, Mr. Scott, Mr. Salnes, Gen. Goff, Mr. Poffenbargor, Mr. Caldwell, or some other pood and capable Republican to the senate. Among hese gentlemen we all have cur Individual preferences. But this Is not the lime to talk about Individuals; now is the time to talk about the Republican jarty. The party machinery, ao far as [ control It. will not be used in the interest of any candidate; it will be used n the Interest of the party." Flult CoinmlaUourr llowcn. New York Mail and Express: The jtory of the remarkable development of the U. S. flah commission Is one which Interests both flsht?rs for sport and lshers for gain.

The extension of the salmon hatching on the Pacific coast has especially attracted the nttentlon of the commissioner nnd las been attended with very gratifying -esults. Commissioner George M.

He has faithfully applied ilmself to the duties of his office, stuJylng closely Its technicalities, availing ilmself to the utmost of the experience ind skill of his subordinates who had seen for years In the work, until he has leveloped a proficiency which.
