LEE’S CAMPAIGN He Will Stump Virginia Against Senator Martin. OPPOSES THE IMPERIALISTIC POLICY His Antagonist is an Effective Or- ganizer and Will Die Hard. aes ISSUES OF THE CONTEST Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va., September 10.—Al- ready there is much interest manifested throughout the state in the forthcoming senatorial fight between perhaps the two strongest politicians in Virginia. Ever since General Fitzhugh Lee openly aprounced that he would be a candidate for the United States Senate in 1899 poli- ticlans have been speculating a great deal as to the result. There fs no doubt that the fight will be a hot one. Each of the candidates is a power in Virginia, and each will have a strong and faithful following. General Lee 1s today probably the most popular man in Virginia. He is a strong and magnetic stump speaker, and when he meets Senator Martin there will be a de- cidedly interesting ‘serfes of debates. If the election should be left to a popular vote he would win in a walk. No man in Vir- ginia could beat him in such a race, ex- cept, possibly, Senator Daniel, and he, too, would be defeated if he debated on the same platform with the major general of the 7th Corps. It is argued by many of General Lee's supporters that his popularity and the vigorous canvass he will inaugurate In the fall of 1899 will counterbalance the preju- dice some entertain against his views on the currency. It is well known that Gen- eral Lee, while a sound money man, is not an extremist, and his Judgment on other questions which will probably be brought into the campaign will have a strong ef- fect in making many lose sight of his opinions on finance. As to Imperalism, It is asserted tha’ the question of state barks of issue will cut a significant figure in the next senatorial contest, and not a few well-informed and influential citizens openly express the opinion that a question which will have a conspicuous place in the campaign will be that of “imperialism.” General Lee has not publicly expressed himself on this, though some, who claim to know the man and who have talked with him along this line in a casual way, have been led to believe that he is an anti-im- perialist. As far as can be seen the senti- ment in Virginia appears to be against ter- ritorlal acquisition. Senator Martin is known to be one of the shrewdest politicians in the south. He is the most thorough organizer in the democratic party of Virginia. Mr. Martin believes firmly in his ability to win. He has been making some speeches already in the interests of the democratic candi- dates for Congress, and Incidentally a few strokes are thrown to pave the way for his own contest. He believes in unity of organization, harmony of purpose, con- geniality of co-workers. Executive sessions and the quiet pursuit of party methods ave characterized much of his political work. Lee Will Have to Fight. With such an opponent {t can readily be seen that victory in the big senatorial fignt will be by no means a walkover for Gen. Lee. The Martin followers aiready claim near- ly all the hold-ove ators. Friends of Lee, on the other hand, declare that the generai has more than half of them. It is believed by unprejud observers that must of these senators are yet un- pledged, and will neither commit them- selves nor decide how they shail yote un- til after conventioas are held in th countie: lies of their districts next year. It is a fact that some of the hold- j Over senators have their’ personal prefer- ence between the two men, but it is prob- that this will be sun« should th istricts speak out in plain terms for one other than their first choi It is understood that his usual promptness, over the field. ator Martin, with already looking nls ig to s3- is His object in lect men favorable to him to run for the legistature Gen.

GAIN Fourteen Million of Old Currency Sixes Will Be Redeemed. Another gain in the treasury gold yester- day of $2,390,603 brought the total net gold up to $282,304,304. Considerable of the in- crease is due to the payments for the new war bonds and further additions from the same cause will result. With a view to dis- bursing some of the yellow metal the Sec- retary of the Treasury has offered to re- deem the $14,000,000 old currency 6's due at the first of the new year, and to anticipate the October interest on the 4 per cents. If the latter offer is taken advantage of it will absorb about $5,500,000, which, with the whole outstanding issue of currency 6's redeemed, would require nearly $20,000,000. Some of the 6's already have been presen’ ed for redemption, but enough is not yet available at the department to indicate whether the holders generally will be will- ing in advance to part with their bonds, which pay a good rate of interest. Some demand from the west and south- west for currency necessary in the ship- ment of the crops is apparent, and recently $400,000 in paper has been sent to New Or- leans, $800,000 to Chicago and smaller amounts to various southwestern points. 2 ———_— Hoeke's Clearing Sale prices rive you genuine bargains.—Advt.

CONTEST OVER SCHOOL SITE Residents of Northeast Section Appeal to the Commissioners, Contention as to Whether Building Shall Be Located East or West of 15th Street. There is quite a lively discussion on among the residents of the northeast sec- tion of the city as to the location of the new public school building to be erected there by the District Commissioners. The contention is whethér the school shail be east or west of 15th street. Today the Com- missioners received the following protest, signed by fifty-eight householders: “The undersigned residents of Rosedale recommend that the location of the new public school to be located in the northeast section be placed at the corner of Rosedale and 17th streets northeast. “There are upwards of 500 school children living east of 16th street, many of whom reside as far out as 22d street, and during the inclement weather of the winter are compelled to go to the Pierce school, and necessariiy suffer great hardships and miss much of the time by having to travel such a distance in bad weather. “We therefore protest against locating said school on 15th street or any neighbor- hood so near to the Pierce school as to af- ford no relief to the above objections. And we recommend the site at 17th and Rose- dale streets as being the most centrally lo- cated and one which will save our children many squares waik in the winter weather.” Mr. Holmes’ Views. In the same connection the Commission- ers have received the following letter from Mr. Alex. W. Holmes of 2011 Benning road northeast: “In reference to the school site to be se- lected in the northeast section, as the fa- ther of seven children-who go to the public schools I wish to enter my protest against locating the school as far west as 1th street. We have in our neighborhood @uth street and Benning road) about 300 or 400 school children, who are compelled to go to the Pierce school, and'some who have to go to the school at 1th and G streets north- cast. This distance in winter weather is too far for small children, and I think if you oniy knew the hardships inflicted upon our little ones your honorable board would give us some relief and place the school nearer to us than 15th'street, which is only two squares from the Pierce school. ‘I am a letter ‘carrier, and have been so employed for the past''seventeen years. For the last ten years I have been living in a house I built at Benning road and z0th street, and it ts my duty, as such carrer to travel every day from’ 14th street to the Eastern branch and from Benning road to north A street. During my daily trips I c me into contact with people of that sec- tion, and I know as a fact that there has been as little sickness west of 16th street as-any other section of the city. There are many children living out in my neighbor- hood who have to travel a mile or more to school, whereas if the new school was placed at 17th and Rosedale streets we would be nearer and our children saved much distance in bad weather. The people living in the neighborhood of the big sewer do not complain of sickness, and I know of some who have raised a family near the sewer who say they have always had good health. People ving at 17th and Rosedale streets would never know there was a sewer in that section.” pies ee ASBURY PARK. A Great Fall Season in Hers at Last— A Dream Fulfilled. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. ASBURY PARK, N. J., September 7, 1898. With the assistance of a kind and indul- gent weather prophet, Asbury Park is en- Joying just now its first and long-wished- for exverience as an autumn resort. This has been the dream of every hotel man in town since he opened his hostelry. Many half-hearted attempts have been made to lengthen the season, but they have failed as dismally as they were made for the rea- son that no special attraction was extended tive guests and newcom- Then everybody seemed to agree, a summer or two igo, that it was out of the question to try further to extend the sea- son. But nature played them all a merry trick, and now the season which every one, even the most optimistic, was sure would be the worst in the history of the town, has turned out to te the best that the hotel proprietors have seen for six or seven years. With one exception (the Coleman House), all the hotels are open and none of the pro- prictors has announced a closing day The majority of them are remarkably well- filled. On account of this uneypected rush of September business, and because 9f the fact they are able te keep open at a protit, may of the proprietors will not think of closing until the Ist of October, wih the belief that they will get a share of patron- age from among the five or six thousand delegates of the Christian Endeavor So- ciety who will meet in convention here for three days, beginning September 28. Ex-Champion Corbett returned to town Tuesday night and is now hard at work at his training quarters in Sth avenue. He says that he feels ne has lost considerable of the good work previously done by his trip to California, and calculates that it will take him at least a,.week or ten days to regain his fcrmey condition. Then he will settle down to the, hardest kind of training ani be in readiness for his fight. A very pretty children’s dress hop was given at the Brunswigk Casino on Tuesday evening. Nearly ong hundred little tots participated. A military ball was.given at the Welling- ton on Wednesday night.

The Form of Government Will Be Modeled on That of Exist- ing Territories. The steamer Coptic, from Yokohama and Hong Kong, by way of Honolulu, yesterday brought to San Francisco the following ad- vices to the Associated Press from the latter place under date of September 3. It will be the “Territory of Hawaii.” That is the name which the annexation com- mirsion has decided to recommend to Con- gress. The form of the government will be modeled on that of existing territories. There will be no further departures from this than local conditions and national po- litical consideraticns make necessary. The ultimate possibility of statehood will not be barred. There will be no District of Co- lumbia or Alaska form of government pro- posed. = Local self-government will be given through the extension of the municipal idea. The islands will be divided into mu- nicipal districts, having control, under re- strictions, of purely local affairs. Hono- lulu, for instance, will be a municipal dis- trict embracing the whole of the Island of Oahu. Hawali may be divided into two districts, and Molokai, Lanai and Niyhau may be attached to some other municipal district. A Territorial Legislature. The question of a territorial legislature has been fully settled. There probably will be one, but with limited pow All the attributes of sovereignty, however, will be exercised by the government of the United States. The people of Hawaii will be called on to consider themselves Americans, look- ing to the national government as a source of power. In local affairs they will have the opportunity of exercising the highest | attribute of American citizenship, local self- government. Tae form of government the commission will recommend will be cal- culated to do away with the assoctations of national importance which have grown up in the last eighty or ninety years, and to create associations and the feeling of union with the United States of America. it is pretty clear from what has been said by members of the commission that in framing a form of government for the islands they have also been charged by the administration with forming a model which can be adopted in Porto Rico and other new possessions the war has brought to the United States. The commission ts trying to shape its work sv as to be able to finish its labors on September 20. The visiting members in that case will be able to return to the main- land by the steamer of September 23. This will be in plenty of time for the prompt presentation of the bill which will be draft- ed immediately after the opening of Con- gress. Pearl Harbor. The commissioners visited Pearl Harbor con September 1. Admiral Miller, who is thoroughly informed as to Pearl Harbor from a naval point of view, pointed out the advantages which originally induced the United States to secure concessions there for a naval station. Prof. Alexander has pointed out the geological structure and the imprcvements that will be nceded to make it an ideal naval rendezvo The Pacific cable may go around IHono- Julu. A shorter route by way cf Alaska has been figured cn. Gen. A. 8. Hartwell said today: “By the last mail I received a communi- eation from the company concerning the cable. Gen. Scrymser writes me that his company is arnoyed at the delay required by the clause in the Hawalian contract Which gives the Secretary of State six months in which to signify his apprceval or disapproval of the contracts. He states that he has had some correspondence with Secretary Day on the matter, and has asked him to come to a final conclusion at as early a date as convenient. In the early part of the year the Secretary had ex- pressed his disapproval of any contract being entered into at this end, and it was in consequence of his doing so that the condition was inserted in the Hawaiian contract requiring the approval of the Secretary of State. I am now informed that the answer of Secretary Day has been received, to the effect that, owing to his relationship to Col. Spalding, he has taken no part in the affair, and that he would hand it over entirely to his assistant, .Mr. Moore. However, I have no doubt that Secretary Day will not hesitate to inform the company of his intention on the con- tracts. “If the company shall not avail itself of the Hawaiiar contract it contemplates adopting the shorter Alaska route. Gen. Serymser writes me that a cable with a landing in Alaska, thence to Japan, con- necting with the established lines to China, Manila and Australia, could be built for less than $5,000,000, as against $12,990,000 via the Hawaiian Islands.” Clash Over Quarters. ‘There is a clash here between Col. Rar- ber and the Hawaiian government military quarters. The Hawaiian gove! nient, as it is known, at the end of August withdrew its garrison of troops from the executive buildings and grounds. I: was deemed thet with the presence of United States troops at Honolulu there was no more need of troops to guard the public buildings. The paid militia of Hawaii simply went cut of existence. In the mean- lime the Hawalian government had in- formed the United States representatives that afte- August 31 it would not be re- sponsible for the military courtesies of this port. The American authorities then sig- nifled their intention of occupying the late Hawailan military headquarters, includiag the barracks under the executive buildings and the officers’ quariers in the bungalow. To this intention the Hawaiian government objected. It 1s asserted that the buildings and grounds vacated by its mititary are purely civil in their character, and their purposes are entirely related to the admin. istration of Hawaiian affairs. In speaking of the trouble Attorney Gen- eral Smith said: “There is no friction now, nor has there been any. The matter has been discussed by General Merriam, Col Barber and Minister Cooper. The military authorities would like to move one com- pany Into the quarters vacated by Com- panies E and F of the National Guard, and officers would like to use the bungalow as their quarters. The government has ob- jected to this for the reason that it is our earnest desire to keep the civil and military departments in future entirely separate. We desire to reserve the executive build- ing and grounds entirely for etvil pur- poses, and to convert the basement of the building into the necessary offices, as they may be required. We have proposed that Col. Barber be given an office in the bun- galow, and the men may be quartered in the other barracks. We have offered to assist Col. Barber in securing any quarters he may desire, but we are anxious to dis- associate the military from the executiv building, and reserve it for civil officers. There has been no demand or refusal to comply with any demand, as has been re- ported. The matter has been discussed and a decision has been reported.” It_is the present calculation to send the U. S. 8. Philadeiphia back to San Fran- elsco very soon, as Admiral Miller, having completed the mission on which he was sent by the United States government, is anxious to return. It is close on his tim of retirement from active service, and, be- sides that, Mrs. Miller ts in San Francisco awaiting him. Various officers of the Philadelphia are so sure that their ship will return to this port after landing Admiral Miller in San Francisco that they are making arrange- ments for that purpose. In fact, the Phils delphia is the only ship available for duty ere. Yuchida, the Japanese consul to Hono- lulu, arrived by the Coptic last night. He is accredited as minister pro tem. to the Republic of Hawail, although the arrange- ments have been made for the proper ac- knowledgment of his credentials at Wash- ington.
