CAMPAIGN IN VIRGINIA Apathy of the Masses Not Yet Dis- pelled. WARM CONTESTS ARE DEVELOPING Chance for a Solid Democratic Congressional Delegation. FIGHTS OF FACTIONS Se Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va., September 30.—The congressional campaign in Virginia for- mally opened this week. Several candi- dates had been in the field earlier, but Monday marked a general move all along the line. Large audiences greeted the speakers and some enthusiasm was aroused. So far there have been no joint debates and no opportunities allowed for either side to puncture the weak spots in its oppo- nent’s campaign issues. The democratic speakers reaffirm the Chi- cago platform and declare free silver a living issue, but do not discuss the ques- tion of ratio. They arraign the republi- can party for extravagance, the unneces- sary issue of war bonds and mismanage- ment in the war with Spain. The acqul- sition of new territory is opposed, but is not made a strong issue. ‘The republicans are making their can- vass on the successful issue of the war and the present prosperity of the country. The masses in the state are taking little Interest in politics, and in the majority of the districts the factional fights in the re- publican party are the features of most interest. The Contested Districts. Warm contests are developing, however, in the ninth, tenth and the fifth districts. In the last named a formidable fight 1s being made by the republican candidate. It was supposed in the beginning that C. A. Swanson, the democrat, would have an asy canvass. It was assumed as a fore- gone conclusion that when the republican convertion met at Stuart in August J. R. Erown, who contested Swanson’s seat in the last Congress, would again be his op- ponent. There was a contest, however. and a double set of delegates from Dan- ville. Edmund Parr, who represents Patrick county in the state senate, was chosen. Mr. Parr is a wealthy man, and is said to be one of the largest star route contractors in the country. He has in- jected an active principle into the canvass, and Representative Swanson is waking up to the fact that he has to deal with an influence that will take his best efforts to combat. Quiet and thorough crganization is Mr. Parr's chief weapon. Mr. Swanson is making effective speeches and a close vas The liveliest canvass of the state is g0- ing on in the ninth district, where Judge Wm. F. Rhea is winning votes in his fight for the seat now occupied by General James A. Walker, republican. The two candi- dates have met a number of times recent- ly at the same speaking place, and each time Judge Rhea makes a public challenge General Walker in debate and no little capital of Walker's refusal discuss the issues with him. Judge 2 is the more magnetic and artful . and having been on the stump in canvass in southwest Virginia for years is thoroughly posted on the politics of that district. He is past mas- ter in the art of ridicule, as well as elo- quence, and the fact that General Walker ‘anged from ene of the great parties to the other is added to a long Ist of other leged inconsistencies ina way that makes canvass anything but a happy _ one. district is pro-free silver, and Judge to The Khea is making his canvass strictly on that line. Well-posted people say he will be a sure winner. General Walker is very sirong with the old soldier element,, but they are fast joining the great majority. In Rhea's Favor. he split in the democratic party in Washington county, where Judge Williams of Wytheville opposed General Walker, it med, is fast being healed under the influence of Judge Rhea’s eloquence, and he ¥ a solid front in November.

The enmity engendered in the convention is, however, cropping up even now, when his best efforts are directed in favor of his op- ponent.

Mr. Hay's record as a member of the military committee in Congress has been much criticised fn the district. Mr. O'Flah- erty was prominent in the gold democratic campaign for President and his appearance 4n the field now would endanger Mr. Hay's chances of a return to Congress. A solid democratic delegation in the next Congress is within the possibilities, and this hope is likely to be realized if the re- Publican factions continue to war among themselves. —_+—_—_. Centenary of Gaslighting. Frem the London Telegraph. Electricity has now so largely supplanted the older methods of illumination that peo- ple have almost forgotten that this year is the centenary of gas lighting, coal gas having been first applied to economic uses by William Murdoch in 1798, although it was not introduced into London until 1807. In 1825, when meter reckoning came into general use, the rate charged was 15s. per 1,000 cuble feet, subject to a diseount of 5 per cent for prompt payment. At a later date 12s. was charged, and in 1834, three years before Queen Victoria ascended the throne, a further reduction was made, the pric becoming 103. per 1,000 cubic feet.

CONDITIONS IN CUBA Things in a Desperate State and Daily Growing Worse. Plantations Lying Waste and Few Planters Able and Willing to Re- build — Labor Lacking. Correspondence of The Evening Star. OFF KEY WEST, September 24, 1898. The Comal, costing Uncle Sam about $600 a day rent, is still lying at Key West wait- ing for orders; her cargo 1s getting to be about as valuable as one would expect a perishable cargo to be after being shut up in the hold of a vessel in southern waters for a month; the Cubans are hungrier than they were a month ago, and the commis- sioners at Havana are going peacefully on, fixing up their hotel so as to be comforta- ble for a long stay, and exchanging polite notes with the Spaniards, who, I have no doubt, want to go off somewhere to laugh occasionally, as they think of the easy time they are having. We are indignant over the treatment the Comal has received at the hands of its own government, but that is as nothing compared to the prospective delay in the evacuation of Cuba, as stated by the pa- pers we have just received. Devastation. A great mistake was made by our govern- ment in not providing in the protocol that Spanish rule in Cuba should end at once, and that It should come under United States military rule, as at Santiago. This rule does not seem to give wonderful satis- faction, but it 1s infinitely preferable to that of the Spanish. A much greater mis- take will be made {f the Spaniards are al- lowed to hang on there for sixty days or more. Things are in a desperate state In Cuba, and every day they are getting worse. The Spaniards and Cubans are still in arms over the island, and ready and willing to clash on small provocation; the Cubans are still hungry and food {s’ still searce; they are liable to make raids on anything eatable they can find, and bring on trouble. Plantations all over the island are laid waste; the season for planting to- bacco, sugar Gane and vegetables 1s now beginning, and few planters dare to rebuild their houses and replant their lands while the present uncertainty and danger exists. When willing, as In a few cases, the nec- estary men and animals to work cannot be found. The mules, horses and oxen have ostly beea devoured or seized by the troops, and the men of Cuba are still afraid to trust themselves in the interior after the terrors of guerrilla warfare they have seen in the past. There are fortunes to be made in Cuba in the next few months, in tobacco raising and truck gardening, but very few will be made. Those who have cnough money left to make the venture are afraid to make it. Our interpreter owns a large plantation twenty miles from Havana. All the time we were there he was trying to find some one to take charge of it and rebuild and re plant. He finally found a friend willing to take the job, but was totally unable to pro- cure the ten necessary laborers. Quarantined. We are having c taste of Florida quaran- tine law now. Being within almost calling distance of United States land, we are not allowed to sct fcot on it for fear we may ave yellow fever. We have lain here for rine days now, and nothing has developed, hut the doctor says that if we Me here eight months we can't come on shore with- out previously being fumigated at_Tortu- gas. That would ruin our cargo. Yet the M otte runs to Havana twice a week, takes on passengers and brings them here freely. The doctor explains that they only bring certified immunes. One Key West citizen came in from Havana with his eight-year- old son on the last boat. They had been there a week. The doctor failed to explain why their clothes would not carry the fever as well as ours, nor how that boy came to ba immune so young. There {s one of our copy book maxims that ought to be chang- ed to read: ‘The pull is mighty and will prevail.” But we have the satisfaction of knowing that the Galveston people are just as afraid of Key West as Key West is of us, and qvarantines them and spoils thelr business jvst as much as they do ours.

Frem the New Orleans Times-Democ: “When Santiago was occupied,” said one of the troopers who came up on the Whit- ney, “the townspeople tried to be as civil as possible to our boys. The average Span- ish tradesman is a very diplomatic cuss, and he never fafls to bear in mind which side his bread is buttered, so, instead of giving the Americans the cold shoulder, he received them with open arms, and pro- ceeded to tell them mething. Most of these dons picked up a few scraps of Eng- lish for the occasion, and aired them with a very hazy conception of what they meant. A few days after the place was surrendered I went into a small shop to get some to- bacco. The proprietor was a fat little chap, all bows and smiles. ‘Got any ‘bac- cy?

Boys’ Top Coats and Reefers of all kinds, medium and heavy weights —light covert cloths or navy blue kerse i FLIGHT OF THE 8IRDS. the Weak Ones Travel Warmer Climates. From the New York Tribune. As the cold days and chilly nights of early fall come the close observer in town or country may detect the presence of many strange birds. Birds wiose summer home may be in Labrador anil whose win- ter may be spent in South America are often seen flying through the ir in groups, or resting on tall treetops for a short spell, as if to catch their breath and gain some idea of their surroundings, all of them on their way south for the winter's stay. No time in all the year is «s interesting to the bird lover as the season of migration, for at no other time can such numbers of feathered friends be seen. Birds, as a rule, travel in search of food, so those who sub- sist on fruit follow it from section to sec- tion, and those kinds which are noticed first in the springtime are often the last to re- turn in September on their way back to the south. The insect-eating and seed-devour- ing birds, like the others, follow their food from north to south, After August has passed and the birds have molted, and the young are all able to fly, the flocks begin to turn their way toward the winter home, and September sees many groups of them winging their way swiftly through the air, for some take long journeys. Many birds that pass their summer in the Mississippi valley will go no further than Mexico for the cold weather; others will settle in Central or South America, while among those to travel the furthest’ is the snipe, many of them building their nests and rearing their young in the arctic circle and spending the winter on the shores of far-off Patagonia, taking the entire length of the western hemisphere once each six months. Although the spring migration of some of the late comers is but little more than over before some of the early ones begin their southern flight, the tree swallows going south as early as July, it is during Septem- ber, from the 10th to the 25th, that birds in great number are seen in and around New York, and when they have all passed the birds in the neighborhood number a few winter visitors and the permanent resi- dents, with an occasional flock of spar- rows, bobolinks or hermit thrush, who stay north late. The great regularity with which the vari- ous birds come and go adits to the pleasure of watcNjng for them, At almost the same time each year one ly expect to see the same visitors, for rarely do they differ from their time by even a few days. There are many curious and instructive things about this departure of the birds. There secs to be reason in it all, for the old birds lead the way, as !f to show the young ones how to go. Many. fly by night, while others travel in the Gaytime, and some both day and night. This interesting fact was first ascertained by Mr. Brewster, who, in a paper on the migration of birds, says that the timid and feeble-winged birds travel at night, one reason being that they are unable to journey day after day with- out stopping for food, and so losing time, hence they fly at night and rest and feed in the daytime, while the strong-winged birds, that can go great distances with little fatigue, will fly by day, getting food as they go. River valleys, coast lines and mountain chains are the ways followed by the mi- grating birds, and frequent observations have determined the fact that the birds travel at great heights, many as much as @ mile from the earth.
