Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
RICHMOND. Va, August 5.-Judge Wad-
Jill said today to The Star correspondent
that the action of the republican executive
committee at New York in adding addi.
tional names to the campaign committee
would tend to bring good results.
But ne said, at is unfortunate that
a necessity should have arisen for the ap-
pointment of such a committee, but 1t wa.
the only course left open by the conduct
of Colonel Lamb, with his proxies, at the
recent state committee meeting in Norfolk
through which he attempted by revolution
ary means to organize for the campaign
by ignoring all the party friends Of Gov.
ernor Mckinley who had been most active
and effective in securing him a delegation
from Virginia against the Vaccinations OF
the machine.
He said: Under this committee, with the
national committee. Scott having the de-
Gliding vote. the party has been lifted from
the slough OF despond."
The executive members Of the national
committee devoted about three hours yes
te-day afternoon to the Virginia factional
trouble, and at the close announced that
the difficulties had been satisfactorily adj
justed. There were present John 8. Wise,
Col. William Lamb. Col Brady Of Peters
burg and MessrS- Hanna, Clayton, Scott,
and Osborne of the committee.
Col. Lamb regarded the action Of the ma
tional committee In appointing an advis-
ory committee to assist him in the manage
ment Of the campaign as an infringement
on his prerogatives, and something calcu-
lated to rob him Of his hold on the state
machinery.
This advisory committee. as originally
appointed. consisted Of five members. To
satisfy Col. Lamb. he was authorized to
name three additional members. This was
all that Col Lamb desired, 1t was said,
and so the trouble was ended satisfactorily.
Under the rules of the party a chairman
Of the republican state committee Is to be
chosen in October. Lamb aspires to the
place. while Brady and ex-Congressman
Bowden think that he ought not to have it.
1t was agreed last week that they would
submit to the ruling of the eastern branch
of the national headquarters about the state
leadership

versal Language.
Esperanto is not the name of a new
liquor or of new appetizer. nor that
OF comic song. bl. il is the name of
an artificial language, which is fast
gaining adherents IN France. and that
is already able 10 boast of many fol-
overs in Europe, .he United States,
find even in some parts of Africa.
Among those most proficient in the
language is a Frenchman. bearing the
aristocratic name of D'Eyssautier. He
says that Esperanto is by no means a
new language, nor even a recent dis
covery. This international language
has been in existence nearly ten years,
and there are at least 10000 adherents
in different parts of the world.
The author or originator of Esperan-
to is Russian gentleman, DIR. Zamen-
hof, of Warsaw. He saws that one may
learn it's grammar in an hour. and all
its vocabulary of words in few DAYS.
The official organ of the language,
the Esrerantisto. is utterly opposed TO
the volapuk organ, for it has literary
tendencies.
The fact is. Esperanto hopes to de-
throne yolapuk altogether. Verses
may be written in it, and translations
of the niad and Hamlet have been pub
ished.
Like all artificial uSfversal Ian
guages, the roots of Esperanto are de-
rived from the best known of modern
tongues-English, French and German
