the manufacture or sale of Intoxicating
l;ouors Last March the order was

some of the delegates to the republican
Congressional convention to meet at

Mr.. Pat McCaull will probably be NOM
mated, but that if the convention shall
by reclamation offer the nomination to
Mr.. Agnew, they don't think he could
afford to decline it.
Senator VOORHEES,, while still by no
means pleased with the treatment he
has received as chairman OF the Senate
finance committee, and therefore re-
sponsible for the new tariff bill, said
this morning he intends to take an &C.
tive part in the democratic campaign in
his State this fall.
AS Representative Enloe of Tennes-
see headed the attack on the Geodetio
and Coast Survey Bureau which led to

Since the Treasury Department
stopped sending out small notes in re.
turn for deposits of gold, the demand
| for this class of money has greatly in-
creased and the Treasury has in sew

Such exchange can now be made only
by special directions from the United
States Treasury.
General Malone has strong hopes Of
n republican majority in the next Q. s.
House of Representatives. Therefore
ne has changed his mind in reference
to republican congressional candidates
in Virginia this fall, and will do all he
can to help such as are running in dis
tricts which he thinks are close. 1t il
reported here that he has even offered
to manage Mr.. McDonald's campaign
in the first district. This change that
has come over the spirit of his dreams,
Virginians here say, will, instead Of
assisting the republican candidates,
tend rather to injure them, as his help,
Judging from the past, will wake up
the now lethargic democrats, and in
duce them to go to the polls, which
they would not have done if he had adj
hered to his first intention and kept
out of the fight.

is here to-day. He says he has careful
ly scanned the whole field, with the re-
suit that he considers the talk about q re-
publican majority in the nextU. S.House

will be as large in the next, as in the
present House, but is confident it will
be large enough for all practical pur-
poses.
