THROUGHOUT THE DISTUI0SR —_—— Bpectal Correspondence of The Evening star. RICHMOND, Va., August 4, 1806. The political leaders in Virginia yiew the movements of their erstwhile constituency with rauch of the consternation of a hen who has hatched a@ setting of duck eggs and sees them take to the water for th first time. ¥ The congressional contest: in the ninth district ‘e very uncertain and quite in- teresting. The convention to nominate a democratic candidate for Congress from this district -meets at Wytheville Wednes- day, the Sth, and very few of the dele- gates selected go instructed. The candidates are numerous, but the contest is between ex-Congressman ‘‘Cy- clone Jim” Marshall, Judge Samuel W. Willams and ex-Judge Rhea, whose strength probably exists in the erder in which they are named The district con- tains very few negroés and is made up largely of farmers and miners, and the gold and silver sentiment is much divided, and the tangle of party lines ts so inextri- cable that there is great lack of the old- line enthusiasm on elther side. Here, as elsewnere in the state, men say they will vote the ticket as a matter of loyalty to the party, but that they’ can- hot support the Chicago platform. | Many ‘re anxious and undecided as to what to do. A Queer Ratification. A Bryan and Sewall club was organized At Abingdon last week on court day, wien the town was filled with a large crowd, and a flag raising comprised a part of the pro- gram, after which the crowd was invited to enter the court house and hear speeches by ex-Congressman Dan Trigg and ex- Judge Hutton. Only a moderate number responded, and both Messrs. Trigg and Hutton, in their speeches, announced that they could not inaorse the Chicago plat- form or the free silver idea, but that they would nevertheless vote for the nominees. This, of course, was a wet blanket to the proceedings. & Some of the leading democrats of this dis- trict will vote for McKinley, urless a gold democrat is nominated. General Jas. A. Walker, who has no op- position for the nomination on the republi- can side, bas a badly divided constituency on the firancial question, He has himself been a free silver man heretofore, and his strength In the last canvass was due to the advocacy of the silver idea and his popular- ity among the confederate soldier element, but now being forced to fight on a gold Piatform his influence ia an uncertain and unknown quantity. In the ninth district a Jarge number of re- publicans were originally democrats, who became readjusters :an@ finally followed General Mahone into the republican party. They will not feel gtnagge if they return among thelr old friends,;'and not a few, It is believed, will take’ this opportunity to align themselves under the old name. Uncertain in the Fourth. The situation in thefourth district, which takes in the city of Hetersburg, and is now represented by Congtésdman R. T. Thorp, a republican, is vegy uncertain. This is known in Virginia a$‘thp “black district,” being composed of ;coupgies where the negro vote is In the, majority. It will be remembered that. the.eertificate of election Ts ago in thietamrict was given to . Ro’ McKenney, thed@mocratk nomiree, who Was afterward pnsgated In behalf of Thorp. The fogicat. candidates for the democratic nomination. are all exhibiting a desire to shun the responsibility of the fight, clafming that their business, and so forth, will not permit them to accept the nomination. At best, it is a troublesome district for the democrats to’carry, if hon- est elections are held. This time it will be doubly hard to “manipulate,” since the city of Petersburg, the stronghold of the demo- cratic party, is badly split up over the financial question..Petersburg is @ ver- itable hothed of sound money men, and It is very doubtful whether or not the free silver democrats can carry the city. In view of this the leading democratic politicians of the district are very dubious about accepting the nomination. Unless the democrats in this district are in perfect accord the republicaris will be very apt to re-elect Thorp. The names of Messrs. Syd- ney P. Epes of Nottoway and Thomas N. Williams ot Mecklenburg are mentioned for the democratic nomination, while Mr. Rob- ert G. Southall of Amelia county stands perhaps the best chanee for it, if he will accept it. Im the Second. The fight for the democratic nomination in the second er Norfolk district will un- doubtedly be a very hot and exciting one. Congressman D. Gardiner Tyler, who is seeking & renomination, will very probably be opposed by Col. R. E. Boykin of Isle of Wight county. The latter is a very strong man, and will no doubt prove a close competitor in the race, if he doesn’t win ft. It must be known that the second is the only district In Virginia that elected goid delegates to the Chicago convention, and for tnis reason the democracy is in a divided conditton, however much the polt- tictans may deny the fact. This is the dis- trict in which Lamb, Bowden and Borland live, the giants of the republican party in that section of Virginia, and there is no doubt that one of the three will make the fight for Congress on the republicam ticket. Congressman Tyler can lay claim to being an “original free silver man,” having voted in Congress for free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1 Hence, his constituency cannot turn him down on this plea, and he may defeat Boykin for the democratic nomina- tion. State Senator H. L. Maynard of Portsmouth and Mr. W. A. Young of Nor- folk are also mentioned for the democratic nomination, and in the event of @ dead- lock one or the other may run. It makes no difference who the democrats name, they will have an uphill fight to win. In the first, fifth and seventh districts the situation at this time is highly favorable to the democratic nominees. A passive but intense interest pervades politics in this city and district, and the parties are anxiously watching and meas- uring the strength of their opponents. No candidate has been regularly selected by any party, and rumorg of compromise are rife. It is stated onothe authority of a man well versed in the ‘ irs of the re- publican party that thi Hsory committee reeently appointed r consideration @ plan to urge the nemination of a sow money democrat in averg district in Vir- ginia, selecting such itten as will be least objectionable to repul , and give them the support of the 2 Tt is understood that this arrangement;does not contemplate any pledge to suppogt ‘the tariff or other planks of the St. Louis ptatform, but is a master stroke to dé¥eat{ the free silver movement. The republicats of this district show much impatience, ahd they are push- ing Chairman amie ‘ to take active measures and name - for the conven- tion, but he is being iigpined by the ad- visory committee.

Monday evening Gladis, a station on the South Shore road, was wiped out and its residents had to flee for their lives. Brimley was also threatened with destruction and may have been wiped out by this time.’ Sccres of farmers have lost their homes and families have barely esc: with their lives. The regular South.Shore pas- senger train out was compelled to return owing to the intense heat and smoke. Sev- eral of the passengers fainted before the train got cut of the-fire belt.

Pushers Quartered im the Audftortu: Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CHICAGO, IIL, August 1, 1896. There has been an elignment of McKin- ley forces, or am assemblage of republican leaders in this city never witnessed: before in any presidential campaign. For the first time the headquarters of the republican party have been established in the west. ‘The republican managers, Marcus A. Han- na at the bead, have established the most elaborate headquarters in this city ever known in the history of the party. No less than twenty-four rooms have been secured in the Auditcrtum building, corner of Wa- wash avenue and Congress street. Mr. Hanna, in selecting these rooms, de- clined proffered quarters in the Auditorium Hotel, saying: “We do not want hotel rooms, for w2 wifl have visitors who will not wish to appear or be seen at an hotel.” Just what sort of a conspiracy Mr. Hanna had in view in eschewing hotel rooms and selecting others in a bumness block cannot be conjectured beyond the fact tnat he de- clares that this is to be a business man’s campaign. At tne republican headquarters the pubic is admitted to the corridors—the arrangements show “business” from start to finish. On the ground floor, with wide open plate glass doors and windows, is the mail.ng department. For all tne word it looks likc one of Tom Piatt’s United states Express Company's offices. And it is from this room as an educational center the people of the west are to be toxi how to vete. Tons of literature are to be sent out, as inuch franked in the way of public doc- uments as possible, to tell the voter waat to do in November. The greatest depend- ence is to be placed in the educationa: fea- ture of the campaign, though documents and statistics are to be supplemented by oratory. ‘Tne services of the best speakers of the arty are to be invoked, inasmuch as “The Boy Orator of the Platte” has set the pas in this respect. The chief of the literary bureau, which, it is determined, is to vut figure for the purpose of supplanting Coin” Harvey's books in farm house and shop, is Perry 8S. Heath. An old-time Washington corresponuent, he is thurough- ly a western man. Prominently idenuned with the division of Dakota and the ad- mission of North and South Dakota as states of the Union, he is also acquainted with the political sentiment of the people of the Pacifie slope. He brings ability to the duties of his office and a political ex- perience begotten of similar service in past national campaigns. He is ably seconded in all departments cf this educational col- The facult lege of the republican party. Perry. Heath end H. M. Band at the Head. A Well-Equipped Faculty of Political 1s strong throughout. H. H. Rand of M.l- waukee is Mr. Heath's chief assistant; 3. V. Smalley, femed as a newspaper cor- respondent, has charge of the statistical department and has an assistant in an ex- pert accountant, who proposes to verify, in everything sent out, the old adage, “Fig- Robert P. Porter, ex- ures cannot lie.” superintendent of the census of 18), is the tariff professor of the faculty. A student of this great economic question, Mr. Por- ter has a‘vast supply of tariff facts at his fingers’ ends. Among Col. Heath's assistants also is O. P. Austin, the Washington correspondent, and Thomas H. McKee, the veteran politi- cal committee worker. Besides these brainy exponents of “the science of teaching the masses how to vote,” the strictly business part of head- quarters is committed to others. Of course, Mark A. Hanna ts “the whole thing.” He proposes tc be ubiquitous during the cam- paign, distributing himself with regularity between New York, Cleveland, Canton and Chicago, with possible oscillations east and west. But to keep a finger on the popular pulse when not secreted at branch head- quarters in New York, Mr. Hanna will Rave Charles G. Dawes at the Chicago end of the line. Mr. Dawes lives accessible to this city by railroad, sireet car and lake routes. Though a resident of the salubrious town of Evanston, Mr. Dawes is a wide- awake man, and in case of an emergency at the very ¢ead of night can and prom- ises to be aroused by telephone, one end of which is in the offices in the Auditorium, ard the other right over the head of his bed in Evanston. A lawyer by profession, a former resident of Lincoln, and a colleague of Bryan’s at the Nebraska bar, it is expected that Mr. Dawes has “a rod in pickle’ for “Tne Boy Orator of the Platte.” W. G. Edens, Galesburg, H., completes the republican faculty. “Business” is the open sesame to an introduction and consultation with any of the managers of the concern or profes- sors of the faculty. Saturday is set apart as general day. There has been, so far, just one of these general reception day: Forthwith it was called “cranks’ da: And by that name will continue to be known. Long-haired poets with campaign scngs, women with lyrical tributes and men with “pull” in all sorts of schemes, were ‘most_numerous and conspicuous at the first Saturday's parade. And there was not one of them who did not promise to come again. The rooms of the headquarters are distributed all over tne Auditorium build- ing, making a labyrinth for anyone but the initiated, who come on a mission. There fs ene great room like a banquet hall on the fifth floor. There is nothing therein, however, to rouse the enthusiasm of the bon vivant. The room is strictly arranged for business, and looks in all its appoint- ments like the room of a board of directors. And that fs what it fs destgned for. It is here Mark A. Hanna ts to meet the national committee of the republican party, and af- ter allowing the members to consult with Imm, tell each one what to do. Back of this room the most obscure of ell the suites of rooms is a seven by nine closet, where Mr. Hanna will secrete himselt whenever in Chicago. As stated, there is an atmosphere of business hovering around these rooms. Vigorous working electric fans cannot dispel it, but rather intensify the assumption that the republican party, as managed by Mark A. Hanna, means business. And that business is meant has no better illustration than in the finance committee that has been appointed in this city to collect funds for the general ex- penses of the campaign. S. W. Allerton, many times a millionaire, farmer, pork packer, etc., is the head of the committee, although outside of the business headquar- ters of the republican party. He has as sociated with him A. H. Revell, the mil- lionatre furniture man, and a score of others of similar standing. The republican organization of Cook county and Hllinois is just as heartily enlisted. Probably never before have preparations been made that promised such a vigorous campaign. +e. —_____ Saloons in the District. Excise Clerk Williams has compiled a statement showing the distribution of liquor places in the District of Columbia by sec- tions. There are 550 bar rooms in the city, divided as follows: The merthwest has 341; meetheast 40; southeast, 532, and southwest, 81. Z Thirty-two hotels have retail liquor Ii- censes, thirty being in the northwest and two in the southeast. There are thirteen clubs selling liquor under a retail ficense, of which eleven are in the northwest and two in the southwest. ‘There are 161 wholesale liquor places in the District. Of this number 125 are located in the northwest: thirteen in the northeast, twelve In the southeast, and eleven in the southwest. Another subdivision of this list shews that of the 161 wholesale licenses issued, ninety-nine are held by grocers, six- teen by regular wholesale dealers, two by confectioners, five by bottlers, ami one by bottlers’ agent. A comparative statement with the work of the board of other years shows a steady diminution in the number of licenses issued, ind, roughly estimating it, the present ex- ise board has reduced the number of liquor saloons in the District about eighty from last year. During the license year of 189% the board issued 630° retail liquor licenses and 174 wholesate licenses. That year ft rejected sixty-seven bar room applications and six- teen wholesale applications. ‘The Heense year of 1894 showed a de- crease, and when the record was footed up ft was found that the board had issued but 605 retail liquor licenses and 172 wholesale Ncenses.. That year it rejected fifty-seven retail applications and fourteen wholesale applications. Another big cut was noted in 1895. The current license year, as stated above, 55 vetail Hqvor Mvenses were: granted and 161 wholesale licenses. A total of fifty-two re; tail applications were rejected and efeven wholesale applications. _ A Oougle of Accidents, Ons of the Victims Being Tnoonscious, Colored Quarters That Looked Like Counterfetis Were Good—Other Interesting Items. Shortly before midnight a telephore mes- Bage came into the Georgetown station asking that the patrol wagon be sent to Chapel road and Connecticut avenue ex- tended to pick up a colored woman who was lying unconscious by the roadside. The wagon was sent out, but by the time it reached the scene the sick woman had been carried away. She had been discov- ered by Conductor George Dassey of the Chevy Chase electric railroad, who sup- posed that the woman had been struck by acer. The woman, whose name could not be learned, was taken to the home of Mr. Gecrge Wise, in Montgomery county, where she was restored to consciousness, claiming that she had been hit on the head with a stone while walking along the railroad track. Frederick Fitzgibbons, a sixteen-year-old white boy, while climbing up the steep flight of stairs leading from Potomac street to the bridge over the canal, slipped and fell and sprained his right ankle. The accident happened in the early afternoon. The injured boy was conveyed to his home at 955 26th street in the patrol wagon. Mr. Alexanaer Beall of 22d street, and Mr. Thomas M. Hughes, a well-known young man, were yesterday married at the resi- cence of Lieut. Samuel H. Jacobson of Washingten. Rev. Dr. Naylor performed the ceremony. Mr. Robert L. Haycock was the best man and Miss Katherine Sim- mends the bridesmaid. The wedaing was quite romantic and in the nature of elcpement. The parents of the bride wer opposed to the match, and, know.ng tais, the couple invited a few friends to the heme of Lieut. Jacobson, where the cere- mony was performed. While Mr. Hughes had been a steady caller at the home of the young lady, her parents were seriously opposed to a matrimonial alliance. After a weeding breakfast Mr. Hughes took his newly made bride to her home to secure the forgiveness of her parents. The iraic father of the young lady met the groom at the door, and quite a #cene ensued, no for- giveness Leing secured at the ume. C. E. Officers Elected. At the regular semi-annval business meeting of the Young People’s Society of Chris: s tist Church, held last evening, the foliow- ing officers were elected for the ensu-ng term: President, Mr. Thomas M. Hughes; vice president, Mrs. Wiliam Oliver; treas- turer, Mies Katie Simmor ds; recording retary, Miss B. H. Hospital; correspuading secretary, Mrs. Thoraas M.

The appearance of a number of suspi- ciously colored quarter dcllars in town y terday, brought here by a colored boy, led the polive to believe for some t-me that a ccunterfeiter was in their midst and gi tirg in his work. The pieces were finally Pronounced good by a chemist, who stated that the difference in color had been trought about through contact with sume mercurial substance. So whet was thought ‘culd prove a hig case for the police meit- ed away intv thin nothingness. The Cattle Market. At the Arlington Stock Yards the regular sates Monday were quite fair. There were fifty-five cattle up, and sold at the follow- ing quotations: Best, 4 and 4% cents per 3% and 4 cents per pound: medium. 3 and 3% cents; common, 2 and 3 There were 216 sheep and lambs sold at the following prices: Sheep, 24 and | 3% cents per pound; lambs, 4 and 5% cenis. Eight cows and calves sold from $24 to $35 per head. The state of the market was risk, Stole Cigars. Thomas A‘exander, a colored rag picker, was temporarily employed yesterday after- noon by Mr. Charles W. Cornwell, a 32d Street grocer, to clean up the store. While at work the negro managed to steal a box of cigars, and carried them out in the back yard, where he hid them. After finishins his work he went to the rear and secured the cigars, but his actions were observed by one of the clerks of the store and the negro searched. Policeman Conlon, who Was passing at the time, was called in and took the rag pieker to the station house. This morning in the Police Court, in an- swer to a charge of petit larceny, he went to jail for thirty days in default of a fine of $10. Noten, Mr. and Mrs. Talbot Pulizzi and Miss Bianche Pulizzi are stopping at Piney Point for two weeks. Rey. W. S. O. Thomas, pastor of the Gay Street Baptist Church, has gone to Luray, Va., for a moath’s stay. Sergt. Rohey of the seventh precinct left yesterday for a three weeks’ stay at Arundell-on-the-Bay. During his absence Policeman Reno Passeno is acting sergeant. Policeman Blake, who has just recovered from an attack of illness, has gone on his annual leave to his home in Virginia. Po- liceman Seymour, who has been on the sick ist, returns to duty tomorrow morning. ‘The congregation of St. Gabriel's Church at Great Falls gives an all-day picnic to- day, which will wind up with dancing this evening.

ROBERT The Widow Residuary Devisee Legatee Under Both, The wills made by the late Robert Gar- rett of Baltimore were given to the press last night. They will be filed for probate at Towscn today. The first will was drawn in Baltimore in 1883, and substantially names his wife as soie devisece and iegates. The second instrument was executed in London, England, July 5, 188%, a short while after the tragic death of his brother, ‘T. Harrison Garrett. In the lasi document $100,000 is bequeathed to each of the three children of his brother; $200,000 to William F. Frick, his father-in-law; $30,000 to Chas. Nitze, his homme d'affaires, and $20,000 to A. B. Crain,Mr. Garrett's private secretary. All the rest of the esiate is given to his wife, Mary Frick Garrett, absolute! who, together with her father, William F. Frick, are named executors. It is thought by some intimate friends of the family that the reason for probating both wills is the fact that the last one was executed just at the commencement of Mr. Garrett's long-continued illness, and in view of this fact it was deemed advisable to prove both instruments. As the widow is the residuary devisee and legatee uniter both wills, from tie fact of proving both, it seems to be evideni that she intends to adopt the last onc, although in derogation of her rights under the will of ISS3, as it makes the specific bequests tol his brother's rem and others. The executors hay: €iven a full power of attorney {> Charles Nitze to act for them in all matters relat- ing to the business of Rober: Garrett & | Sons, of which the deceased was the soie | surviving partner. Some surprise was expressed that Mr. Garrett, in view of the fact that he was known to be @ promoter of many chari- ties, did not provide fer them in either wif. This is expleined, however, in the clause, in- which he states that his wife was well acquainted with his pians in this direction, and he was satisfied that she ‘would carry out his views. AFFARS IN GEORGETOWN |SOUTH STILL SOLID Republican Politicians Marking Of States in That Section. EFFECT OF ALABAMA’S ELECTION Effort to Control the Middle and Western States. AN APPEAL TO PATRIOTISM It is related of Mr. Blaine that, when a candidate for President, he was entertain- ing one evening a favorite lieutenant of his and they fell to figuring on the proba- bilities. Mr. Blaine added up the electoral votes of the south and set the sum total in the opposition column. “The democrats have that to begin with,” he said. ‘But, my dear sir,” protested the lieu- tenant, “thcre is a good deal of discontent in the south, and you are personally very popular down there. We'll get some of those votes.” © “No, sir,” replied Mr. Blaine, “we won't get one. I know the south. There is some discontent down there, dnd I have many warm friends among her representative men. But this will not appear in the No- vember returns. The south, as usual, will be counted for the democracy.” Marking Of southern § The resul- in Alabama gives point to this story. Th2 more experienced of the repub. ican politicians ar marking off the great bulk of the southern vote now, as Mr. Blaine did the whole of it in 188s. ‘Th see that there is no show down there. in the border states of Maryland, Missouri, Tensessee and Kentucky the situation is a lide d.ffcrent.

The party consisted of 8. Hayakawa, councilor of the ministry of finance an government inspector of the Bank of Japan; T. Yamamoto, chief cashier of the Bank of Japan; S. Lwanaga, manager of the largest steamship line in Japan, and several other gentlemen of high commercial standing in Japan. Said Mr. Hayakawa, in part, to an in- terviewer at the Ebbitt House: “We are here to get a general idea of the political financial and commercial conditions of the United States You have a big, splendid pation, and for us It is a great lesson to study. We shall adopt any of your meth- ods which strike us as valuable.” * * * On the subject of finance this Japa financier said: “We have in the Bank England $17: ndard. of 000,000, paid us by China as indemnity, and within the next six years she will pay us twice as much more. hope soon to substitute the gold for the silver standard in Japan. We sincerely hope that the United States will not aban don its present money standard.” So it appears that while Japan sirous of adopting any of our which strike her as valuable, she doesn’t ler free silver one of them, and is herself getting ready to adopt the money standard of the more enlightened nations of the world. Japan is the only progres- sive silver standard country, and she has seiise enough to perceive the enormous dis- atvantages of a silver standard. She has had enough of ft and will try hard for “sound money.” And yet we are advised by some of our alleged financiers to adopt the standard that Japan is proposing to discard.
