THE VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN.
How Malone and His Following Will
Conduct Their Fight.

Special Despatch to THE EVENING STAR.
NORFOLK, VA, Aug. 23.-Despite the burning
heat Malone remains here, and is today con-
ferring with his ieutenants as to certain
initial movements of the campaign. A num-
Der Of leading federal officials who have
recently come into Office are also here
and have been active in the proceedings
OF the convention. They include both the
United States marshals for the state, the dis
trict attorney and collector of internal reve-
nue. for the western district number of post
masters and a lot of smaller Office holders, civil
service reform rules to the contrary notwith-
standing. All told their number is quite large.
Malone will in short time
TAKE THE FIELD IN PERSON
and expects to make a score or more of speeches
at the more populous points in the state The
southwest, which is the protection region Of the
state, will receive the lion share of his atten.
ton. The sinews of war will be skillfully en-
ployed as well for purposes of defense as in
operations OF the opposite nature. Experienced
republican advisers insist that Malone is less
likely to be made the victim of unfair election
practices at the hands of his opponents than if
he were less famous or formidable antago-
mist. This district, it will be remembered,
which is largely negro, was held by Bowden
last November by the immense majority OF
nearly seven thousand.
THE SERIOUS BREAK IN THE BLACK BELT
occurred not here, but in the Petersburg re-
gion, and came through the candidacy of ven-
able, rich tobacco manufacture of that city,
who aided by republican disruption was
successful to an sextent that Mckinney can
hardly hope to equal under any circum-
stances. 1t is moreover claimed by Malone 3
friends that as the elder Venable was himself
defeated for the democratic nomination, and
and his son, the Congressman, has on his hands
somewhat serious case Of contest over his
seat, their efforts in this campaign to take
the republican vote away from Malone are
not seriously to be feared; but with all this, the
outlook is
AT BEST BUT BARELY HOPEFUL
for the success of the republican ticket. That
party has never elected a candidate to the
office Of Governor. Wells was beaten by
Walker nearly twenty thousand; Hughes by
kemper nearly thirty thousand, and Wise by
Lee fifteen or sixteen thousand. Every
fair-minded man familiar with this situation
will also admit that owing to a variety Of causes
the Virginia democrats are always more certain
OF carrying a state than national election.

THE RESCUED SAILORS.
Commander Kellogg Said to Favor q
Prosecution Of Cruel Shipmaster.

The Navy department has received report
from Commander Kellogg, commanding the U.
s. S. Ossipee, now in Hampton Roads, describ-
ing the rescue of the two starving sailors from
Arenas key, Yucatan, who were abandoned,
together with a mate, who died before he could
be reached. Acting Secretary Walker, after
reading the report, referred it to the Judge
advocate general of the navy with instructions
to look at the legal aspects Of the case. 1t is
undoubtedly fact that Capt Kellogg recon-
mends legal action against the master of the
schooner Anna, who abandoned the men. The
report will be sent over to the Department Of
Justice tomorrow, presumably with a request
to prosecute. There has been considerable IN
dignation expressed by naval officers over this
case and one says that he has recollection
that number of sailors were abandoned from
this same schooner several years ago. In that
case it is likely to go hard with her master, for
this act of abandonment, which, in piratical
days was known as ''marooning," is regarded
as one of the worst acts in the category of naval
sin. The man who died on the island was the
victim, 1t is stated, Of a homicide.

kUNZ MAKES A STATEMENT.
He Denies All knowledge or Partici.
patton I'm Cronin's Murder.

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-John p. Kunz, one OF the
six men indicted for the murder of Dr. Cronin,
has written letter to a German paper. He
makes long and rambling statement denying
his guilt and all knowledge or participation in
the Cronin murder. Only few points in his
long letter are of general interest He says
that he can prove beyond doubt that he had
not been on the North Side at all between April
10 and May 80 of this year. He says he can also
show that during all this time he had been
working for q painter named Froelish on Cot
tage Grove avenue, and that he had been playing
cards every evening in the saloon 2s06 Cottage
Grove avenue. He says he knew that the de-
tectives had been looking for linn for several
weeks and that he at first was going 10 give
himself up, but that his boss had dissuaded
him from doing that, saying that il the detec-
tives really wanted him they could find him
easily enough. He declares that Coughlin ID q
good fellow and good friend to him; that he
likes Coughlin and does not believe him guilty.
He denies ever having been in a buggy with
Coughlin. he says be became acquainted with

REPUBLICANIsM In SPAIN.
Ii Has Not Proved Successfnl-Madrid
Citizens Robbed by Officials.

LONDON, Aug 23.-Spsin's latest experiment
with republican forms has proved anything but
successful -Four years ago the citizens of
Madrid, the capital, and the chief city OF the
kingdom were permitted to elect q municipal
government. Today the mayor and thirty Of the
city fathers are again enjoying the ease and re-
tirement of private life, having been compelled
TO resign owing TO the discovery of gigantic
frauds by which the city has been robbed of
immense sums ever since the beginning Of this
administration.
MASS MEETING OF CITIZENS
was held in Madrid last night at winch the gov.
ernment were called upon to arrest the retiring
mayor and councilmen and to vigorously prose-
cute them for wholesale robbery Of the city
treasury. Count Toreao. member of the cortes,
through whose efforts chiefly the frauds were
exposed, presided and in his speech asserted
that the four years Of corruption insuguratsd
by the present administration had cost the
municipality of Madrid no less than 100, 600, 600
pesatas or about go, 100000
LARGE PART OF THE cIrr's REvESuEs
is derived from duties which are imposed ON
goods entering the city. II is proven that
every one Of the thirty councilmen who have
been compelled to resign turned smuseler
the day he was elected and ever since each,
under cover of his office, has systemati-
cally defrauded the revenue Of immense
sums. In the profits of this business
the mayor is charged with having shared
and II is known that since coming into
Office. poor man four years ago, he has be-
come one Of the wealthiest in Madrid To such
an extent was this business carried on that as
the inquiry instituted by the cortes demon
strated, the returns of the railroads Of dutiable
goods brought into Madrid by them are for
the past four years twice great as the guam
titles on which duties were paid
Well informed residents of Madrid, notwith-
standing the overwhelming proof against the
parties implicated, have little hope that the
'boodlers will be punished. There is q strong
suspicion that one or two of the ministry shared
very largely in the plumber, and that these are
shielding their partners in crime from the lust
retribution which should be meted out 10 them.

TIMING RAILROAD TRAINS.
Policemen Have Their Watches Out on
the Line of the b and d.

Another effort will soon be made to prosecute
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad employees for
running their trains within the city limits at Q
rate of speed faster than the law allows.
The law forbids the running of
trains sat rate Of speed more
than twelve miles an hour. Some citizens Of
East Washington have recently complained
about the speed Of trains, but whether the
trains were really going faster than twelve
miles an hour or not it is difficult to determine
Yesterday some police officers Of the second
precinct took positions along the railroad track
and timed train. The train made the distance
times in exactly 0ne-hah minute faster than
allowed by law, but the officers did not think
that such a small margin would justify them in
bringing charges against the road.
