1IIE DE< ORATIONS.
The Register takes occasion to con
gratulate the people of Wheeling on
the general excellence of the decora
tions displayed and the uniformity
and patriotic profusion with which all
parts of the city, business and resi
dence, threw the national colors in
various forms to the breeze yester
day. in a tour of the city nowhere
could the e> e rest without taking in
the Red, , White and Blue. The
streets were vistas of gayly fluttering
bunting and from end to end Wheel
ing was half hidden in the folds of Old
Glory.,
It was not only a patriotic but ar
tistic exhibition, many of the decora
tions, notably in the business district,
being beautiful in the graceful drap
ing and combination of colors that
extended frequently from roof to base
ment. It is safe to say that never in
its history has the city been so gen
erally, beautifully and profusely
decorated.
That the spirit of patriotism was
strong in every breast was attested by
the fact that nearly every man, woman
and child in the city wore some pa
triotic emblem conspicuously upon his
vor her person, while the humorous fra
ternity displayed enough frayed Manila
rope to hang a goodly section of the
Spanish army.
From a decorative point of view as
■well as from every other, Dewey Day
in Wheeling was an unprecedented
success.
It would not be a bad plan to keep
Old Glory more or less in evidence
until the end of the war.
The Spaniards who thought they
would be able to sneak up on the Ore
gon and her companions, the Marietta
and the dynamite cruiser. Buffalo, late
the Brazilian Ntotheroy, are liable to be
fooled very badly. They may be caught
by Sampson agwine and by Schley
acomin’. or by both together and if
they are Admiral Villamll's black
hulled ships will decorate the bottom
of the sea as Montejo'a do on the other
side of the world.
A SUGGESTION.
Probably Admiral Dewey, whose
birthplace, East Liverpool, O., is close
by, would not, if he were made aware
of it, fall to appreciate the splendid and
patriotic demonstration by the people
of Wheeling yesterday in honor of the
splendid victory won by him and his
officers and men at Manila.
To the end, therefore, that he may be
furnished with this information, we
suggest to the Mayor that he write
the Admiral a brief congratulatory
note on behalf of the city, informing
the gallant sailor of the great demon
stration yesterday, and with a view to
enlightening him ns to its character and
extent, forward by same mail copies
of the local press containing the re
ports of the celebcntion of his glorious
Tietory by the good old patriotic town
of Wheeling—just down the river a few
miles from his birthplace.
Judging from numerous reports the
country is full of Spanish spies who
a re being operated by ex-Spanish Min
: tr Polo from Canada. We can rely
on our Canadian sympathizers to keep
an eye on Polo and in the meantime
I the secret service authorities should
; gather in some of these spies and hang
or shoot them as a warning _to the
others.

SAMPSON'S VICTORY.
Sampson’s manoeuvres at San Juan
de Porto Rico were very similar to
those of Dewey at Manila. After en- j
tering the harbor Sampson kept his
fleet circling before the forts, each j
ship in turn pouring her quota of shot .
and shell into the Spanish batteries j
ashore. This manoeuvring confused :
the Spaniards’ aim—bad enough at
best—as it did at Manila, and while, .
by virtue of the superior marksman- (
ship of the American gunners, nearly [
every shot from the fleet took effect on j
the forts, only eight shots in all from ;
the batteries hit the American vessels, j
and only one or two of these did any j
damage at all, the American loss be- !
ing but two killed—one by the in- j
tense heat—and seven wounded.
This Is a splendid showing, and had >
Sampson found the Spanish fleet there, i
as he expected to. his victory might '
have rivalled that of Dewey’s.
Unless all calculations fail or the j
Spaniards do some more mysterious
disappearing, Sampson will soon have
an engagement with Admiral Villam.il,
whom he Is pursuing as a terrible
Nemesis.
-+ - --
Spains protest to prance against al
lowing the American cruiser Harvard j
to remain at Martinique for repairs is
possibly intended to offset the Amer
ican complaint against France for al
lowing Admiral Viliamil’s fleet to take
refuge and send misleading messages
from that island over the Frenoh cable .
to confuse Americans.
When the safety of the Oregon and j
her companions ig assured no more
time should be wasted in a peaceful j
blockade of Cuba. Havana should be
taken and the Spaniards thoroughly
thrashed and driven from the island. ;
With Spain driven out of the West ;
Indies, the war will be practically .
ended.
--
A Spanish cable from Manila to 1
Madrid says naively, “Our shells did i
not burst and all the enemy’s shells :
burst." The Spaniards seem to think
the fault lay with the shells and not
with their fuse-timers and gunners.
The Spaniards evidently need much in
struction in the art of war.
If Sampson or Schley or both should
succeed In destroying Admiral Vil
1 Jamil's fleet Spain would have only
her Cadiz squadron to fall back on and
she needs that for protection at home
against her own people.
The patriotic speculators on the Chi
cago Board of Trade are haring a high
old time these days tossing up and
! down the prices of the people’s food j
products.
The speculator or producer -who takes
advantage of the war to unjustifiably
and artificially force up prices of the i
people’s necessaries of life differs only ;
In degree from a traitor. j
Up goes the price of bread in New j
York. War is hard on the masses, yet
the masses supply not only the war '
funds but the soldiers and the sailors.
Tf the Spaniards would stand and
fight the war would soon be over.
It was a combination of Decoration
Day and Fourth of July.
We have visited the Ivozier factory,
makers of the Cleveland Bicycles, and
found everything made and finished
like a fine watch.

West Virginia National Guardsmen
% Get a Dollar a Day
While in the State Service, But Up
on Being Mustered Into Uncle
Sam's Army of Volunteers, They
Get But $13 a Month—The Ques
tion of Precedence Continues to
be the all Absorbing Question in
Camp -How Senator Elkins Got
His Son Official Rank.
Special to the Register.
Charleston, W. Va„ May 14.—As fhe
members of the old National Guard are
mustered into the service of the United
States at Camp Lee, they are paid oil
in full by the State for the service ren
dered up to the time they are mustered
in as U. S. soldiers and begin to draw
pay from Uncle Sam. There has been
a great deal of grumbling among those
companies which have been mustered
in for several days because they have
not got their pay before this time, but
the caus’e cf the delay was that the j
pay rolls had not been made out and
forwarded to the Adjutant General’s
office. By an order of the commander
in chief, the officers are paid accord
ing to their rank in the old guard up
to the 29th of April, when they were
appointed to their places in the vol
unteer regiment and after that they are
paid by the State according to their
rank in the volunteer regiment to the
day they are mustered into the service
of the United States. After that they
will receive pay by the United States.
Those of the members of the National
Guard' who enlisted in the volunteer
regiment as privates receive one dollar
per day and rations from the State
from the day they are mustered into
the United States service. After that
they will be paid thirteen dollars per
month by the United States govern
ment. The volunteers who were not
members of the National Guard receive
transportation from their homes to
Camp Lee and rations till they are
mustered into service, but no pay till
after their muster. They will then
receive the regular pay of thirteen
dollars per month.
The appointment of Phil G. AValker
to the position of Second Lieutenant
in Company E. of Elkins, in the place
of Second Lieutenant H. C. Higgin
botham, who wras promoted to the po
sition of First Lieutenant to fill the
vacancy caused by the removal of Lieu
tenant Cramer, has caused considera
ble dissatisfaction in the regiment. It
is held that neither of these men was
entitled to promotion.
USUAJtl A. BKICE,
of Company G, of-Charles Town, was
the ranking Second Lieutenant in the
regiment, and was entitled to the pro
motion to fill the vacancy.
Lieut. Walker it is held, was not
entitled to the office to which he was
appointed for the reason that he was
never in a company and had never
been drilled. He served as quarter
master, with the rank of Second Lieu
tenant, in the Second battalion. Second
regiment, National Guard, and this ap
pears to be the extent of hi3 military
training and experience. It is held,
therefore, that he is as incompetent to
fill the place as a raw recruit. Lieut.
Walker is, however, a fine fellow, and
is personally very popular among his
comrades. But his personal popular
ity does not lessen the severe criticism
of his appointment, as it is a most seri
ous discouragement to the officers of
the regiment who are looking for
ward to promotions. One of the cap
tains said to-day that if the
rules of . promotions wore to be
thus ignored no officer would have any
assurance of advancement.
A few days ago Governor Atkinson
sent to Secretary Ager a request that
the West Virginia regiment be organ
ized under the West Virginia military
law, which provides for something near
a hundred more officers than the Uni
ted States government organization.
Among these additional regimental of
ficers provided for by the State law
are a major, a commissary', a commis
sary sergeant, and a chief trumpeter:
the additional battalion officers are an
adjutant, a quartermaster, a sergeant
major and a quartermaster sergeant.
There are also six additional lieuten
ants and seventy-two additional cor
porals in the regiment. Officers of the
regiment Joined in a request to Sena
tor Elkins to wait upon Secretary Al
ger and irrge him to grant this re
quest Major Banks, it is said, as
sured Senator Elkins that if he secured
the desired change 1n the organization
of the regiment that he would he
pleased to appoint the Senator’s son,
Stephen B. Ekins, Jr., to the position
of adjutant in his battalion. The Sen
ator promised to do what he could in
the matter. Several days passed be
fore anything was heard of the peti
tion.'but it came yesterday. A tele
gram was received announcing that
the Secretary of War could not accede
to the request to change the formation
of the regiment to make it conform to
the National Guard organization, hut
that he would concede an adjutant to
each battalion. This will let Stephen
B., Jr., in as an adjutant under Major
Banks, and this, some of the officers
believe, was all that Senator Elkins
endeavored to accomplish

ban reported for duty, and has his tent
in the camp. The post commander
has not yet ordered the Chaplain to
preach yet. but it is presumed that the
regiment will hear a sample of his elo
quence to-morrow. Chaplain Arboth
not doesn’t intend to let any grass grow
under his feet (figuratively speaking,
of course.1 but will soon put a plan in
to operation to make the boys all good
—that is, those who are not already
good. It is believed that there is roem
for Improvement with some of the
members of the regiment. They Chap
lain requests his friends all over the
Ptate to forward to him #ny kind of
religious literature or Bibles which
they may have at their disposal, and
he desires them not to forget to pay
the freight on anything that they may
send, as he has no money at his dis
posal for that purpose.
Special to the Register.
Charleston. W. Ya.. May 14.—The
progress made to-day toward the com
pletion of the organization of the West
Virginia regiment was beyond expec
tations. A number of recruits having
arrived this morning from Pt. Pleas
ant and other places, the three remain
ing companies were quickly filled up
and the last one was mustered in the
evening M 6:80. It only remain* now
to muster 1b the regimental officers
and that Trill be done probably to-night.
If it is Insisted that the troops shall
be semt south before they are uni
formed and equipped, transportation
will be ordered at once and they will
leave here Monday or Tuesday.
The number of conflicting orders
sent here by the war department indi
cate that the authorities at Washing
ton
ARE ADDLED.
No less than half a dozen orders have
been sent to Captain Settle regarding
the movement of the West Virginia
regiment and its destination. First
they are to move at once, then they
they are to await uniforms and equip
ments, then again an order comes that
they are to move as soon as mustered
in, and this is countermanded and so
on from day to clay.
First the regiment is to go to Chick
amauga, then Mobile, then to Tampa,
then to Chickamauga.
It is the same way with regard to
the organization of the regiment. One
day it is to be under State laws, the
next under United States laws. The
Secretary of War was wired a few
days ago for the explicit and final in
structions whether the regiment could
be organized under State laws or
United States lawrs. Last night Adju
tant General Corbin wired that the reg
iment must be organized under United
States regulations, but that three ad
ditional battalion adjutants would be
allowed the regiment. To-day a tele
gram w-as received stating that if the
regiment was organized
UNDER STATE LAWS,
all of the officers provided for by that
law' would accompany the regiment.
This threw everything into confusion
again, as the order received last night
Was accepted as finel. Capt. Settle
wired back to-day for more definite
instructions, but up to this hour has
not received a reply.
Captain Settle says the three bat
talion adjutants allowed the regiment
by the Secretary of wrar cannot be re
tained, as it is contrary to the army
regulations. According to the instruc
tions received from the War Depart
ment la3t night, however, four second
lieutenants were appointed and com
missioned to-day. three to serve as the
battalion adjutants and one to serve as
second lieutenant in Captain Vawters’s
company from Anstead. The four men
commissioned are J. B. Middleton, of
Charleston, formerly adjutant of the
staff of .Major White, Second battalion.
Second regiment; Frank II. Baker, of
Martinsburg, formerly captain in the
brigade aide; Harry A. Eaton, of Mor
gantown, formerly adjutant on the staff
of Major Babb, Second battalion, First
regiment, and
STEPHEN B. ELKINS, JR.,
of Elkins.
The lauor will be appointed adjutant
on the staff of Major Banks, accord
ing to the agreement referred to else
where.
Frank H. Baker will serve as second
lieutenant in Captain Vawter’s com
pany to fill the vacancy caused by the
promotion of Raleigh Taylor to the of
fice of first lieutenant to fill the va
cancy caused by the rejection of First
Lieutenant Hamilton on his physical
examination.

The little leaf that falls
All brown and sear to earth.
Ere long will mingle with the buds
That gave the fiowrets birth.
A light from our household is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our hearts
That never can be filled.
1
There's a beautiful region above the skies,
And I long to reach its shore,
For I know I shall find my treasure there,
The loved one gone before.
Yet why should death be linked with fear?
A single breath, a low-drawn sigh.
Can break the ties that bind us here.
And waft the spirit to the sky.
You are not dead to us.
But as a bright star unseen.
We hold that you are ever near,
Though death intrudes between.
What though thy couch be kindred dust, *
Thy pillow be of clay,
lie guards iho grave’s most sacred trust
Who called tby soul away.
