Will There be War.

Washington, February 21.-The
Navy Department has devised plan
of attack upon the Spanish posses
sions, SO that Immediately after de
claration OF war series OF quick, sharp
commandments may be carried out.
The Spanish forces are badly Grip
pied.
Everybody in authority here says
that there will be no war. These
things are facts, however: Ammu
milton is being forwarded to the
forts at Sandy Hook and Willet's
Point on the sound; more artillery
men have been added to each of the
forts, the soldiers being transferred at
night; no visitor is allowed near any
Atlantic seacoast fort; secret orders
have been sent out by Commander
Merritt, of the Department of the
East; an order has been issued to
man the dynamite batteries at Sandy
Hook (they have never before been
manned); work is being pushed at
the Navy yard at Norfolk; Sunday is
no day of rest at the Columbia Iron
Works at Baltimore, and work has
been resumed at the fort in Baltimore
harbor.

Hon. William Jennings Bryan will
not be a candidate either for the
Senate or House of Representatives,
this year, but has issued an address
setting forth the nine issues on which
opponents of the republican party
should make their congressional cam
paign this year, as follows:
First-They are unalterably OPP
posed to gold monometallism.
Second-They demand the imme-
date restoration of bimetallism at
the present ratio by the independent
action of this country.
Third-They oppose the retirement
of the greenbacks.
Fourth-They oppose the issue Of
paper money by national banks.
t'ifth-They oppose the issue OF
interest bearing bonds in time OF
peace.
Sixth-They favor the income tax
as means of raising part Of the
revenue necessary to administer the
Federal Government.
Seventh-They favor the abolition
Of trusts.
Eighth-They are opposed to gov.
eminent by Injunction.
Ninth-They are in favor of arbi-
tration as means of settling dispute
between capital and labor.
Here are the nine issues, which are
not only important in themselves,
but are now prominently before the
people. Are not these reforms worth
securing? These questions were sub
mitted to the people at the last cleo
ton, but they were not settled, and
will not be settled until they are set
tied right.

General Fitz Lee seems to nave dis

General Fitz Lee seems to have dis
charged the duties of Consul-General
at Habana to the satisfaction of the
people from all sections of our coun.
try. That such is the case is very
gratifying OF course, to all true Vir-
ginians, but causes no surprise
General Lee has never failed in any
position to which he has been called
to acquit himself with creditand to the
satisfaction of his State and country.
The estimation in which his services
are held as Consul General by the
people and press of the country are
voiced by the Pittsburg PA Post in
the following:
CONSUL General Lee is undoubt
eddy, the right man in the right place
and must be the main reliance of the
government for information, as well
as the conduct Of affairs at Habana,
looking to thorough investigation
of facts. He has had the benefit OF
responsible and dangerous war ser
vice for years, is trained soldier,
and besides that has had valuable
civil experience as Governor of Vir
ginia for four years. In the way Of
foreign appointments the wisest
thing, as events have proven, that
President Mckinley has done has
been to retain the services of General
Lee.n

Cherrystone Normal ychool

Petersburg, Va, Feb. 19.-The
board of trustees of the Cherrystone
Normal! Agricultural and Mechanical
Institute, which has been recently
incorporated by the Legislature of
Virginia, and to be operated in the
diocese of Southern Virginia under
the supervision of Right Rev. Bishop
A. III. Randolph, met yesterday at
Cherrystone, Va, for the purpose OF
organizing the school according to the
propositions of the charter.
Maj A. L. Boykin, formerly the
principal of the school before it's in.
corporation, resigned the principal
ship and was elected general business
manager of the institute. Prof.
Scott Wood. of Petersburg, at pres
ent a candidate for priest orders, and
who is to be ordained to the deacon
list by Bishop A. NJ. Randolph in
June next, was elected principal of
the school and it's general financial
agent. j. b. Johnson, of Richmond,

Sam Jones a Candidate.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 2O-Rev. Sam
Joues, the noted evangelist, has an
nounced himself a candidate for
Governor of Georgia. He says he
will announce his platform later.
Speculation has turned on the
kind of platform upon which Mr..
Jones will stand. A friend, who is
probably closer to the evangelist
than any other man in this city, said
be could conclusively settle that
point by stating that Mr.. Jones' we'll
known opposition to public schools
would form the basis Of his campaign
Since this information has become
known to politicians they have
breathed easier, as they feared a
prohibition crusade was about to be
thrust on them, but they believe it
will be comparatively simple task
to defeat Mr. Jones if he bids for
election on account of his enmity to
public instruction.
Mr.. Jones has often argued that
the common schools are as much of a
paternal institution as would be an
attempt on the part of the State to
clothe or feed children. He holds
that if man wishes to educate his
his family he should adopt some
other method than that of depending
on the public pocket. The money
annually appropriated to the Georgia
public school fund, Mr.. Jones states,
could be spent in other improve
ments, or in suppression of the liquor
traffic, with much better effect than
putting knowledge into heads which
do not appreciate it, He believes
that busting with the world, such as
a self-educated man must necessarily
get, is of more value in developing
character than any system of assist
ance which the public school offers.

Entered at the Postofice at Accomac
c. H, Va, as second class matter.

y committee of the Maryland Legis-
lature was in Richmond this week to
have conference with a committee
of the Legislature of Virginia on the
boundary line between the two
States, but nothing was done, except
TO make arrangements for q juuke-
ting tour of the two committees some
time this summer. The Maryland
committee, in fact, do not seem to
have visited our Capitol for any other
purpose than to secure more liberal
grabbing and oyster legislation.
Indeed, Judging Maryland commit
teemen in the future by the past,
they don't want the boundary line
question settled. They prefer to keep
it open, it seems, with the hope that
Virginia may be induced at some
time to accord to them some privilege
in our waters, they do not possess
and have no right to expect. To some
of the Maryland statesmen, in fact.
like Othello, their occupation would
be gone" if the question was settled,
and perhaps it ought not to be ex-
pected for them to favor it. Of course.
the authority of the Virginia CON-
mittee will not be enlarged by our
Legislature, so as to give them the
right to surrender valuable oyster
and grabbing privileges to Mary
land, as requested by the Maryland
committee.

Legislative Notes.

The Governor has vetoed the bill
providing for appointing women to
the position of notary public, on the
ground that it was unconstitutional.
AT the afternoon session of the
Senate Monday MIR. Letcher intro
duced bill providing for constitu-
tional amendment, requiring an
educational qualification for voting.
The House has passed Judge
Watkins bill allowing State banks
to issue obligations payable in
merchandise silver bullion. The bill
providing for bureau of labor sta
tistics was also passed.
The Senate has agreed to the joint
resolution which originated in the
House, providing for submitting to
popular vote a constitutional amend
ment striking from the organic law
the clause which forbids the imposi-
ton of tax upon the men engaged
in the oyster longing industry.
The Senate finance committee has
agreed to recommend the appropria-
ton of $500 for paying Virginia's half
of the expense of marking the bound
airy line in Tangier and Pocomoke
sounds, as suggested by Governor
Tyler. The bill carrying out this
recommendation will no doubt pass
both houses.
The House spent considerable time
in considering the bill, which seeks
to have all executions take place at
the State Penitentiary, Tuesday, but
q vote was not reached. This body
celebrated the birthday of one of
Virginia's greatest sons by passing
eighty-tive bills for the relief of needy
Confederate veterans. 1t also passed
a bill which imposes tax OF SO upon
every dlstiller OF less than forty gal
Ions of brandy per annum. These DO
not pay any tax under the present
law.
The appropriation bill has been
PASSED by the Senate as it came from
the committee. but-it is expected,
that there will be fight over it in
the House. 1t cuts down the appro-
priations compared with those of the
last session 3,400 per year. The
greater part of this saving is in the
allowance for criminal expenses.
None OF the cuts are radical, some
departments and institutions are un'
touched, and the allowances in a few
instances are increased. The Sold
iers' Home comes in this fortunate
class, being allowed $4,000, against
$4,000 for the current year. The
only institutions which have been
cut are: University of Virginia, from
$4,000 TO SAT, 900; Medical College oil
Virginia, from $4,000 to $4,000; State
Female Normal School, from $1,000
to 1000; Virginia Military Institute
from $4,000 to $4,000. The offices
of register of the land Office and en-
glneer at the Capitol are left out oil
