oFERRALL OPPOSED TO 1T.
Suggestion of Retroceding AIexan,
dria County Not Favored by Him.

dria County Not Favored by Him.
The proposition TO retrocede to the Uni
ted States Government the county OF Alex
andria, which has attracted considerable
;itte ntion in that section, is discussed
by State officials in Richmond. Gov.
O'Ferrall, in discussing this matter, says:
LAS governor of Virginia, would, of
course, be opposed to giving up any of the
territory of the State. This question
would be brought before the State legis-
lature before any movement could be made.
and do not believe the legislature would
favor this. Indeed, / believe, they would
oppose 1t.
''1he inject OF this hnoveme mt, take It, is
to have Alexandria county supplied with
police from the other side, and thereby.
break up the crime, gambling and other
violations of the law which have made that
part OF the State notorious for years. The
people in the District should remember
however, that nearly all the crooks and
criminals in Alexandria county, who carry
on their nefarious business there, came from
the Washington side.
There Is equally as much dcfilement 60
ing on on the Maryland side II they want
to stop the violations OF law going on there
they should stop sending their lawlcss peo-
pie over TO the Virginia side have given
a great deal of my time and and labor to
the breaking up of the lawlessness in Alex
andria county, and think the condition of
things up thereis greatly improved, though,
OF course, there is some little lawlessness
being carried on in clandestine way.
am opposed to any territory of Virginia
being gwen away"
Attorney General Scott, while not familiar
with this movement, said: II am opposed
to any proposition to surrender any Vir
gina territory to any government. We
have no more territory than we can take
care Of, and when the proposition comes
up, if it ever does, there will be general
fight against it. 1t will be colder day
than this and l will be a much older man
when Virginia gives any OF her territory
away"

ICE PALACE RACES.
Preparations for the Greatest Sport
ing Event of Many Seasons.

IDk Event Oh Mauy ScdeOhS.
The races at the Convention Han Ice Pal
ace during the week of the 2Sth insta MT
will be one of the most important sporting
events that this city has ever witnessed.
The meet at Madison Square recently was
commented upon all over the world. and the
records which were made then were tn,
subject of universal observation.
The same men who participated in that
meet will take partiD the races here and il
is confidently expected that even the high
marks set at that time will be lowered ii
this city.
Some of the mcnare already here, and the
remainder will be in this city in few days
They are doing their training at the Inter.
national Park track and express themselves
as delighted with the arrangements whicl
have been made for their trials here.
The track which will be put down will be
of the finest material and calculated to al
low the specdiest work possible. ofcourse
a great number of people will want to see
these famous bicycle cracls and their W on
derful work, and preparations are being
made now 10 accommodate the thousands
who will attend.
Extra seats will be put in. and arrange
ments made along the side of the ice sur
face, whereby all may see. Arrangements
are also being made for the comfort and con-
venience of the spectators, and there ill be
no detail lacking that could possibly aid tc
their enjoyment.
The races, of course, viii not interfere
with the skating in any way, and even with
the room for the track taken away from the
ice surface, it is much larger than that of
the Baltimore rink.

EASY TO GET FAT.
II Your Drink Ia Right

Skinny people generally are SO because
Of their inability to digest the food which
is passed from the stomach into the bowels
The bowel digestion is weakened. Starches
OF the grains make fat tissue, but IL the
bowel digestion Is weakened by coffee, to-
bacco, whisky, ETC., the person remains
skinny. Leave Off the weakening habits,
and use in place OF coffee, Postum Cereal,
the health coffee. 1t is made by the Pos
tum Cereal Co., lim., Battle Creek, Mich,
entirely OF grains, and is fattening. 1t looks
like the finest Mocha coffee. Persons who
care to lay aside their burtful habits and
eat plain, well cooked food and some fruit
and drink Postum, will feel a great i'm
provement in a weeks time. Nature is a
powerful builder If left free to work with
out drugs and poisons.
It should not be forgotten that 80 per
cent Of the body is liquid, therefore a
healtbful liquid is Of the greatest necessity.
Willy grocers sometimes work in cheap
limitations OF Postum Cereal coffee ir the
customer will stand it.

.RAN" TUCKER VERY ILL.
virginia's Most Distinguished Jur'
LIST at the Point Of Death.

Lexington, Va, Dec. 19.-Hon John Ran
dolph Tucker, LII D., the eminent jurist,
statesman and dean OF the law school OF
Washington and Lee University, lies crit
ically ill at his home, Blandome, in his city.
For three t,reks OF more he has been con-
fined to his room and bed with an agra
waiting case OF pleurisy, but during the past
few days his condition was thought to be
improving until this afternoon, when he
suffered an attack of heart failure, and for
a time it was thought he was in a state of
dissolution.
Last night there was a slight change for
the better. but the family fear il is only
temporary change. He is in his seventy
second year. Up to few weeks ag o he con-
Quoted his regular lectures in International
and constitutional law before the classes
of the university, and his condition then
promised many more years OF his useful
life.
His death would be calamity to the
university and law education in general.

Chairman of House Foreign Com

Chicago. Dec. 19.-CongressInan HIT,
chairman OF the House Committee on For
eign Affairs, was seen at the Great North
ern Hotel yeste rday afternoon, and ex-
pressed surprise when told that the Senate
Committee on Foreign Affairs had decided
to report favorably the Cameron joint
| resolution regarding the re cognition of
the independence of Cuba, and the tender
by the United States of its offices to end
the war. Mr.. Hit thought there was no
immediate necessity OF his presence in
Washington, for it probably would be
some time before the resolution reached
the House. When Mr.. Hit had finished
reading the resolutions, he was asked:
"Do you consider by the terms of the
resolution, after acknowledging the inde
pendence of the island, that it is incumbent
on the United States to enforce this indie
pendencc. IL the eresolutiOnshouldb be adopted
by Congress-"
NO; do not think any such necessity
is implied in the resolutions 1t is quite
common for governments to recog-
nize other governments which may not
as vet have achieved their full position as
independent powers. The recognition of
government b ythis country gives it status
with the United States, but such recogni-
tion is not tantamOunt to a declaration Of
war This government recognized the Ie-
public OF France Suchpower is sometimes
delegated to our ministers, who are in
structed b y the egover nment to acknowledge
the independence of Other states 1t is
power which generally has been vested in
the Executive 1t has been contended that
Congress is jointly invested with this po wer
with the President.'h
"Itis stated that the President will take
no notice of the resolutions, even If they
are passed over his Veto"
ut is my opinion that Joint resolution
when signed by the President or PASSED
over his veto becomes q part OF the statu-
tory law of the country. At least 1t has
been SO considered up to the present time.
do not care. however, to go into this
phase of the situation. Eminent men have
held that Congress haH power to recognize
the independence Of Cuba. On the other
hand, it is contended that the power rests
solely with the executive; that it Is the
constitutional right OF the Executive, and
cannot be invaded by the legislative power
of the government"

Madrid. Dec. 19.-The foreign office is

formally declared that Brazil will not
recognize the Cuban insurgents as bellig-
erents.
Advices to the government from Rome are
to the effect that the Italian government
has taken measures to prohibit Italians
from embarking for Cuba. Quite number
of adventurous spirits of that country, it
is understood, have already sailed for the
West Indian island with the intention of
casting their fortunes with the rebels

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 19.~Great en-
thusiasm was manifested here last night
at a mass meeting held for the purpose of
