Rnppnhannock Treasurer.

A special to this paper from Alex
andria says: W. q. Miller, treasurer Of
Rappahanpock, is reported to be $4,000
short in his accounts, and steps have
been taken to make good the deficiency
by action against his sureties.
1t is admitted at the Capitol that Mr.
Miller has not made his payments as re-
quired by law, but exactly how his ac
counts stand could not be ascertained.
Auditor Marye said yesterday that he
"vould not satisfy the morbid curl
os,ty of some people by answering the
question"

SUBSCRIPTIONS LISTS.
THE WORK OF GETTING MoNRY FOR
TIE VIRGINIA EXPOSITION.
With Long Pull, Strong Pull, and a
Pail Altogether, the Required
Sum VIII be Haised.

Much good work has been done al-
ready in the way Of getting subscrip-
tions to the stock for the Exposition, and
to-day the committees will call TO see
many moro OF our businessmen and
property-holders. They want prompt
and generous responses. They are not
asking donations" they have facts
and figures TO show that the money put
up Will be q good investment
1t Is expected that the exhibition will
yield profit {; but if 1t does not surely
the Fsir-Grounds and the $50, 600 OF
improvements TO be placed upon them
will be ample security for this 800, 900
asked Of our citizens.
The indications are that the money
will bc gotten. We have gone too fer to
turn back. There is no way to look but
forward. The reputation Of Richmond
is now at stake. anl the people could
better afford TO hazard double the money
asked than TO suffer the odium OF
fsilurc
The Exposition will he held for two or
three weeks. beginning about Octo"cr
the 10th, and it will bc great advertise
ment for Eiohmoad. 1T will bIing yisi-
tors aud it will bring trade here. After
it is over for TINS year we will have the
grand hail for public uses. 1t is thing
much needed, and it Will be brought into
close proximity TO the community by
the extension of both street-car lines
to il.
The time for discussion has passed.
There has been enough of it. Now there
should be work now there should be
subscriptions. Just as soon as the
SG0, 0OJ IS pledged plans will be prepared
and buildings commenced, and hundreds
of our mechanics will thereby get work
which will last all through the summer.

So many persons have come TO me
this evening stating that the canvassers
have noJ called upon them that beg to
say that IT is impossible fOr these gentle
men TO see al whom We would Ike for
them to call upon, but if any who would
like to subscribe to the Exposition stock
will Just indicate to NE 10y postal how
many shares they will take, a record of

that any amount IL too small. There are
some who cannot afford to take more
than one share We wish to have their
subscriptions as well as the larger ones
Nay / ask the canvassers to try and
complete their work byto-moTrow night ?
The names OF gentlemen appointed for
this work were fixed upon with no idea
as to any special one being chairman OF
the different committees They are ex-
pected to get together one not waiting
for the other, and set about IT as best
suits their convenience.
hope our citizens will consider the
matter most literally, and for once at
least respond generously.

FIRE In MANCHESTER.
DESTRUCTIVE coHFtAaRArIoN ACROSS
TIE RIVER.
Six Euildirgs and Out-Eousss Destroyed
Want OF Water Greatly Felt
Loss About $4,000.

A fierce and destructive confagration
visited Manchester between IL and IL
o'clock last night, and destroyed about
$4,000 or $4,000 worth of property.
The fire was one OF the biggest that has
taken place in Manchester since the
burning of Buck & Hoff's mill sbout two
years ago. Six frame houses, including
a number of out-houses. were destroyed,
and not until about 2 o'clock this morn
ing were the flames under control.
The Alert Fire Company was soon on
the ground, Int on account Of the limit
ed facilities it was not able to render
much assistance. The nearest water was
about half mile away, and even had
the Richmond Fire Department been
sent for-an idea that did not occur to
the Manchesterians until the fire had
made considerable headway-it could
not have helped much in subduing the
flames.

alternates and spectators. General
Fremont was greeted with cheers.
1921 o. m.-The convention was Just
called TO order by Chairman Jones and
he is speaking. His speech emphatical-
ly favors protection and says the plat
form of the convention and Its nominees
should be the embodiment OF this spirit.

braska, temporary chairman, was greet
cd With applause.
A Kansas delegate announced that
Kansas was not responsible for the
election of Thurston and proposed War
ner, of Missouri. (Hisses.)
Thurston has just began his address.
His speech is punctuated with ap.
plause. His reference to the leaders OF
1884 was greeted with wild applause.
| His statement that it was one OF the
privileges of the convention TO support
Blaine was gresSed with cries OF ''no''
and applause from the galleries. "But,''
said Chairman Thurston, s'we dare not
commit the political crime of disobedi-
ence to Blaine's expressed will" [Great
and continued applause.l
Chairman Thurston mentioned the
candidates IN turn and spoke OF the re-
publican party as the party of protection.
Wild applause greeted his mention of
the Chinese question. He said the for.
eign policy OF the administration was
such as to pleafe every coward. To the
tariff question and civil service reform
he referred amid laughter and applause.
The great issue of the coming campaign
was tariff and q great army would rise
to trample cut forever the pernioious
doctrine of free trade.
Rorr of Michigan General Fremont
ana Fred Douglass were introduced TO
the convention. Fremont predicted
victory undsr the banner of protection.
Douglas hoped the convention would
put it out OF the power of democrats and
mugwumps to say they could see no
difference between the two parties in
respect to his race.

CHICAGO, June 1S.-Walker Blaine,
the son of the Hon. James G. Blaine, was
q visitor at the Gresham headquarters in

with q number of those in the room, and
In q moment walked to the table and
looked at q book. This volume contained
the names of callers at the headquarters,
men who are favorable to the candidacy
of Judge Gresham for president of the
United States. Mr.. Blaine took up a pen
and in a clear, strong hand wrote:
"Walker Blaine, Chicago. The move
ment caused considerable surprise, as
the act was regarded by the onlookers as
q recognition and personal interest In
Judge Gresham's campaign. Mr.. Blaine
smiled and renewed his conversation
with some of Judge Glesham's friends.
After Il stay of half IN hour, which
was taken up in close conference, Mr..
Blaine, after ahaking hands with his
friends present, left the hotel. To say
there was a genuine good feeling by the
Gresham people at this act would family
describe their condition. 1t is generally
