Cycle. and Railroads.

London correspondent of the Paris
Messenger, in speaking of the usual and
general exodus from that city during
the Whitsuntide holidays, says that the
excursions from the metropolis were al.
most wholly made on wheels. On Whit
Monday II was impossible to hire or
even buy hike in London. The rail-
ways begin TO feel the effect of this form
of transportation, which exceeds the
most extreme anticipations. At the
same time the rush for bicycles WINS a
sort of relief for railway. omnibus and
other vehicle passengers, which the
rapid transit companies. however. did
hess enjoy than their fugitive customers.

GOOD PLAY WELL PRESENTED.
"a Woman OF War" Takes Well with
the Richmond Audience.

General Felix Agnus and Miss Louise
Malloy have written In "A Woman OF
War" a play possessed of two potent
parts-a true sketch Of the southern
woman, and a melodrama without vii
lain-that bids fair to win success and
establish a dramatic precedent.
"a Woman Of the War is play Of in
tense interest to the southron-an inter-
est that is caused by the depletion in
stage action OF a woman that is dear to
all OF them-the woman that fought for
the South without being enlisted, and
was willing to sacrifice her worldly luxu-
rIes for those that were dear to her.
General Agnus and his able collaborator
Miss Maloy, do not overdraw their
idea OF the sublime character they give
TO stage-land. 1t Is concise, strong, ana
impressiye-three elements that, con-
gealed, give product that is not epheme-
raj. The lines that describe the charac-
ter are weighted with a Language that
at moments is incentive TO the galleries.
but they are attributes TO this character
that. If eliminated, would spoil the de-
termined will-power of the woman. The
Mot OF the play is brief. but within the
limited space is told a terse story OF
loyal love. The last act is full or pa
thos, and in 1t the play Is brought l"
beautiful climax.
The company entrusted with the dcths
OF the play Is an excellent one. Miss
Virginia Stuart's portrayal Of Alice, the
heroine and a southern girl, Is most
excellent. Personally she is charming
woman, and she imbues the role with
a womanly sweetness that Is delightful.
Next TO Alice, the most important part is

Statement Touching Colonel Lambs
Effort TO secure Endorsement.

IL was reported In Republican circles
yesterday that Mr.. Edgar Allan, the city
chairman, between whom and Colonel
Lamb there has been such bitter war
fare. had come into possession OF some
rather startling evidence affecting the
methods by which Colonel Lamb endeav-
ored to secure the adoption OF resolutions
endorsing him as chairman of the Republi-
can State Committee. Mr.. Allan was seen
by Dispatch reporter and questioned In
regard to the matter. He replied: II am
sorry 10 say that the conduct OF Colonel
Lamb has been a great disappointment 10
the Republican leaders throughout the
State pretty generally. He has done those
things which he ought not TO have done.
and the best evidence that am sustained
is the fact that so many OF his communi-
cations, marked CONFIDENTIAL have reach
ed me. accompanied by expressions OF
sympathy with me in my fight for local
self-government within our party In this
city. The particular matter TO which you
refer has only recently come TO my hand.
/ am not yet prepared TO give 1t to the
press, but / will say this: That / have
discovered an effort on the part OF Colonel
Lamb TO get delegates elected when the
county conventions were held last week
endorsing him at the Stanton conven-
ton, and to secure unpledged delegates 10

CONFERENCE OF MKINLEYITES.
The Mckinley people are making a big
fight on Colonel Lamb, and II he is not
defeated OF reelection at stanton
II will not be their fault. Some
OF the leaders held a long con-
ference here Tuesday. There were

Prince George.
The conference was lengthy one, and
was held behind closed doors. The man
ner OF accomplishing Colonel Lambs over

was settled who would be the delegates
