democrats AnXfous1y Awaiting Re.
turns From the Virginia Election.
Nearly all Of those Senators and Repre-
sentatives who have not gone home for the
vacation are in some Of the neighbortng
states where elections are being held await
ing the returns Very few were in Wash
ington today. The Capitol building was
practically deserted and the hotel corridors
were empty. The chief interest of the
democrats who were here was centered
upon Virginia Few, IL any, expected any
thing but defeat for the democrats in Mas
sachusetts, Iowa and Ohio. Many of them
were doubtful and anxious about the cleo
ton in New York, fearing that Maynard
might be beaten. The apprehension as to
Virginia was not so much that the demo-
Gratis might be defeated there as that their
majorities might be cut low and the popu-
lists make heavy gains. This they regard
as a serious significance and the result was
awaited with some anxiety.
But altogether Washington has never
been more quiet on the day Of election
than today.

COMMODORE sKERRETT.

He Has Been Ordered to Examination
for Promotion.
Commodore Joseph s. Skerrett has been
ordered to examination for promotion. Com
modore Skerrett has been detached from
command Of the Pacific station and placed
in command Of the Asiatic station, re-
lieving Admiral Irwin, who takes his place
on the Pacific station. He is now on his
way from Honolulu to San Francisco.
whence he will sail ON the 18th instant for
China.
Vacancies Anticipated.
His examination is in anticipation Of a
vacancy in the list Of rear admirals during
his absence on the Asiatic station. Similar
examil atoms for prospective vacancies have
been already made in the cases OF Commo-
dore J. G. Walker and Commodore F. NJ.
Ramsay, who stand No. ! and respective
ly in their grade. Commodore Walker will
become a rear admiral on the retirement
of Admiral Belknap, January q next, and
Commodore Ramsay's promotion will fol-
low on the retirement Of Admiral Belknap.
April 10 next.
VIII Not He Present.
Commodore Skerrett stands No. 3 in his
grade and his promotion will result from
the retirement Of Admiral Irwin, the officer
who relieved him at Honolulu, and who
will retire April Is next.
A board &C insisting Of Admirals Gherardi,
Greer and Brown was today ordered to
meet at the Navy Department on the 18th
instant for the examination Of Commodore
Skerrett. He will not be present, of course,
but that Is not regarded as essential to a
compliance with the regulations. and the
examination will be confined to his official
record. On the same day Commodore Skier
rett will undergo a physical examination
by regular board of medical officers at
San Francisco. There is no question of his
fitness for promotion and his examina ton
Is but Derfunctory observance Of the reg
ulations.
Two Flagshfps.
In their new field Of duty, Admiral Irwin
will have the Philadelphia as his flagship
and Commodore Skerrett who holds the
rank OF acting rear admiral, by virtue of
his commanding squadron, will have the
Baltimore as his flagship. The Philadel-
phia IL now at Honolulu and the Baltimore
left Port Said, Arabia, today, and will reach
Yokohama. the headquarters of the Asiatic
squadron. about the time of Admiral Skier
retts arrival there. As previously init
mated IN The Star, the impression prevails
in naval circles that Commodore Skerrett
was relieved from duty at Honolulu be-
cause Of his supposed leaning toward the
cause OF Hawaiian annexation.

Relics Of . Great Buoo,nne.r.

Fishermen in Galveston bay. near Vir-
einia point, recently discovered at low tide
two old cannons. which were found to be
made of copper mixed with small quanti-
ties of silver. The two pieces are of the
same make and weigh about $50 pounds
each, and both bear the same inscription,
Santa Fe de Boaotn. June 13. 1888" One
ia stamped "El Cusp' and the other "El
Fue,te."
There seems to be no doubt that these
guns once formed a portion of the arma-
ment of ono of Lafitte's vessels. for it is a
well known fact that in 1S18 while that
pirate chief held possession Of Galveston
island, terrible hurricane swept over the
place. driving four OF his schooners ashore
on Virginia oint, where they were after-
wards burned by savages. and drowning
the greater portion of their crews.
During Lafftte's occupation the island
was regular slave mars. thousands Of
Africans being taken from Spanish slavers
by the priyateers of the freebooter. The
average price OF a healthy negro was 81 a
pound. These negros were run into Louis
lana by land, wheio they were sod to
planters. the celebrated Bowie family being
engaged in this business, by which they
amassed thousands Of dollars.

Women's Work mt tho Fair.

Some of our foreign friends are inclined
to mako light of the women's share in the
great Chicago enterprise. They say that
much of the 'work"--literary. oratorical,
artistic, what not-has been, not to put too
line point upon it, and to uso phrRas
that the women ought to understand, taken
from tho oven little too soon, and that
the participants would have doue better to
wait until they had something worth show
ing. Doubtless there is ground for this
kind of criticism, but the pebbles eaem to
MS to be thrown from glass houses. Tho
exhibits, personal and other, made by the
stronger sex can hardly be said to be
monotonousy perfect after their kind.
We have a painful consciousness that a
large, very large proportion of the speech
and writing of mnles on the sub.
ject of the Worlds fair might have
been better baked. Some of it might have
been reduced to eshes with advantage, And
sheFe is another side to the question. 1t is
not to be denied that there is excellent work
by women at Chicago decorators.
