CONSUL HANGER IN RICHMOND.
He Talks About bermuda. and Incideht'

Hon. Marshall Hanger. United states
Consul 10 Bermuda. Is in the city. lie Is
stopn,ng at tho Westmoreland Club. but
will leave this evening for Washington
TO arrange some details in connection with
his return to his post Mr. Hanger, whose
home is in Stanton. Va, Is spending MS
two-months' vacation with lis relatives
and friends He Will sail from New 1ork
for Hamilton, Bermuda, where he Is Std-
toned, September 18th.
Hamilton is but fifty hours sail from
New York, and IS n great winter resort
for rich northern people. They 80 mere
in great crowds during the month OF
January. and remain until spring. What
with these visitors and tHe officers Of the
British garrison and the people OF the
town. the society IS very good, and hops
are given at the hotels twice week. The
climate Of Bermuda is remarkably
eauable. OF cold weather there is very
little; of excessive heat, none. Yet, the
island does not produce well oranges.
peaches, or ngs-at least. II does not now.
1t once did. but is no longer able to DO So
for reasons which Mr.. Hanger con
fcssed that he could not understand. But
the island produces garden vegetables
early in the season and in great variety.
Its trade is almost entirely with New
York and Halifax. Nova Scotia. Major
Hanger has evidently met with an agree
able reception at Bermuda. for he speaks
in terms OF the greatest kindness of the
people there.
Though Bermuda is a British possession.
the inhabitants have the highest regard
for America and American citizens. The
principal business there is trucking and
ship-building. both of which are carried
on quite largely. The island is not more
than twenty miles long ana about five
miles across. at the widest point. The
soil has accumulated on the coral rock to
a depth of from . TO - feet. and is quite
rich.
Having been Speaker of the House Of
Delegates of Virginia, permanent chair
man Of the State convention in 1892, and
prominent In politics in the Common
wealth for many years. Mr.. Hanger was
asked for his views rs TO the result of the
approaching campaign. He, however. said
that he had not been here long enough to
fully post himself politically. but from
what he could learn. there seemed 10 be
little doubt of the election of Democratic
in all the districts Of the
State, except. possibly. the Norfolk and
districts.
Mr. Hanger is looking exceedingly well.
and says he has greatly enjoyed his re-
lurn to Virginia.
