VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.

The administration and the anti ad-
ministration republicans had warm con.
tests last night in Richmond precinct
meetings to elect delegates TO city
convention, which liz turn will choose
delegates to the district convention at
Hanover Courthouse Thursday. Col
lector of customs ]. w. Bethel was de-
feated in his precinct on the ground
that he was a civil service man, and
and did not turn the democrats out. In
ore precinct Assistant Postmaster
Grubbs led the administration wing
and NJ. W. Williams, head jaDitor OF
the custom house. the anti administra-
ton party. Both sides elected dele.
gates. The administration wing is
opposed TO any nomination for Con
gress. Ex-Postmsster, Otis 81. Russell
is the candidate of the other faction.
The republican county convention
held at Harrisonburg yesterday, to send
delegates to the congressional con-
vention for the seventh district, which
will meet at Luray on Wednesday, re-
suited in o complete split in the party
and dual county organization.
The Shenandoah republican county
convention met a. Edinburg yesterday
for the purpose of selecting delegates
to the district convention. All the
afternoon was spent in stormy session
in attempting to effect permanent or
gauization. The convention elected j..
n. Davis, postmaster at Woodstock
county chairman, vice M. H. Hottie,
and harmoniz9d the factional differ
ences by giving each faction one half
the members of the committee. This
is victory for the Logan faction and
settles fight of several years. Seven
OF eleven delegates elected to Luray
favor the present State committee.
The republican city convention,
held at Petersburg last night, elect
ed thirteen delegates to the repub-
Lean congressional convention to

AMSTERDAM, Sep. 6.-With simple
ceremony amid imposing surroundings
the young girl who is to reign over the
Dutch took possession of her throne
to-day and received the pledge Of al
legiance of her ministers, council and
people. Like the Car of Russia, the
sovereign of the Netherlands is not
crowned, but personally assumes the
royal diadem and installs himself or
herself in the seat of power The girlish
delight which she evinced at the plaud.

RtcHEy,s PROPERTY ATTACHED.

The Richey mystery assumed new phase
y s,erdsy. in that several attachments at law
and chancery issued from the Circuit Court
& ,ik's Office at Woodstock, Va, against the
estate Of Richey, and NJ. Coffman, cashier Of
tho Shenandoah County Bank. was, upon pc
tition of Mrs J. f. Rchey wife of the miss
ing man, appointed receiver of the business
and gave bond in penalty of $4,000, and
ok charge OF the stores and the Business
From the attachments filed it appears that
Rchey has large Indebtedness outstanding,
and the amount will rnn into the thousands.
Heretofore Mr. Bichey had always met his
bills when due, and frequently discounted
them before coming due. This. coupled with
he fact that he left paper among his pri.
vatc effects disposing of his property in event
he should not return from New York, has
rengthened the now growing opinion that
there has been no foul play, but that Rithey
is absent of his own accord. Ii is stated, how
ever, that he has been in the habit, upon
leaving home OF disposing of his effects
should he not return. He has two large
storerooms well stocked with general mer-
chsndise and other property that will foot up
al estate of about $4,000.

SENATOR HANNA says "the results OF
the Spanish war, considering all the
difficulties that had to be encountered,
are marvellous" Ia view of the in.
significance of the foe, the victories
were not at all marvellous, but in view
of the pursuance of this government and
of the unlimited facilities it had for sup
plying its troops with every conceiv-
able thing they could have required, the
sulferings and mortality of its soldiers
were indeed even more than passing
strange.

TIE WAR For HUMANITY,

a letter from Havana to the New York
Sun, dated August 81, says:
'Killing poverty. the lack of the barest ne.
cessares OF life is more widespread in Ha.
vanl than ever in the history Of the city. Be
fore the American war the ptiful horde Of
rec0lcentrAdos begged and starved in the
Streets or were huddled in Enclosures out Of
the sight of the inhabitants. There were
scenes by hundreds to make the heart sick.
But the reconcentrados and their woes have
vanished almost completely Those left s'ive
at the beginning Of the blockade were sent
into the country or left to lie in the city, and
Of the several thousand Of them who were
then surviving in Havana thers is left only a
handful. They have persisted like flies. II
is estimated from conservative sources that
5000 ieconce1t rados have died OF starvation
in Havana within the last five months. The
re"oncentrado as a problem has almost ceased
to exist. The people Of Havana now cry for
help lest they die There are not so many
b.ggars 10 be seen on the streets as during
the months Of last winter, but want has

JUDGING FROM a letter from Havana
in another column, the late war against

the sake of the recopcentrados in Gu

very people in whose behalf it was un-
dertaken, as it has resulted in their en-
tire determination; nor, according to
the same letter, has it redounded to the
benefit of the other people of Cuba,
