craD. The Republican Senators char
acterized the opposition as course
which looked very mucn like the waiv-

cen said that while a Democrat and a
Southern man he could not see his way
clear to oppose Gen. Longstreet's con-
iirmation. While it was true that Gen
Longstreet had identified himself with
the Republican party of the war, he
had. Senator Bacon said. been a gallant
Confederate of,icer,and was on this ac-
count We'll regarded in the South. Sem
ator Bacon also expressed the opinion
that i was time that dis3greements

brokers stores shall be closed from :

person who puts out pawn brokers

CURED of those who do the business of
a-pawn broker.
The bill has been reported favora bly
ana Will come up in a day or two.
The object in requiring all to close at
o'clock is to protect those whose prop
erty may be stolen, and to protect the
pawn broker. Stealing is done usually
at night. and the theief generally goes
direct to the pawn broker to get money
on his goods. When they are diScov-
cred as stolen goods the pawn broker
has to give them up, and loses whatever
he has loaned on the goods.
Such law is on the statute books
of several other states.

lows:

Necessary to a choice, 81.
The effect of this ballot was to inspire
the most hopeful feeling in the minds
Of the followers of Judge McComas
Judge McComas gained two votes over
yesterday, ex-Congresman Findlay
gained one, ana all three came from
the ranks Of Major Shaw.
This fact. coupled with tine prevailing
belief thar the influence of the leader;
of the national Republican party is be-
ing Brought to bear to force a speedy
settlement Of the contest, leads to the
belief that the end is not far off. The
McComaS men claim that their candi-
date Will be elected Tuesday of next
week. They claim to have seven more
votes we'll in hand, which will be cast
on Tuesday, if not on Monday.
When these votes come over. it is he

moral effect will be sufficient to STAN

CUBAN LEADERS IN TOWN
Minister Palma Arrives With Several Of the
Revolutionary Party.
General Desire for the Removal of
Spaniards From Cuba's Civil
Admi istratiOn.

Tomas Estrada Palma, the minister from
the Cuban republic to the United States,
arrived in Washington yesterday evening,
accompanied by some prominent members
of the Cuban revolutionary party in the
United States Later in the evening Con
zalo de Quesada, the Cuban charge DAFT
fairs, returned from a short vacation. To-
day several consultations were held at the
Raleigh, the subjects of which were pre-
sumably the policy to be followed in SIM
plifying the conditions in Cuba and finding
means to allay the differences which are
alleged to exist between the Americans and
the Cubans now in the island Minister
Palma declined to be interviewed, and de-
clared that all interviews purporting to
have been held with him since his arrival
here had not been expressed by him.
1t is understood that the Cubans are in
accord heartily on one subject, and that
tration Of civil affairs in Cuba from the
hands of the supporters of the Spanish
crown who now hold and control them to
these of native Cubans, of standing and re-
spcnsibility, or to those of Americans. They
do not object to,ndeed, they would welcome
in preference to the Spaniards, Americans
a officials in the customs houses, as mem
bers of the council of the city of Havana,
or as mayors of the smaller cities.
There is very deep regret among the
Cuban representatives over the allegations
that have been persistently published TO
the effect that the insurgents are virtually
saVages, and they are of the opinion that
these publications, which they declare TO
be false have been put out with the view
of making the Cuban problem more diff
cult to solve by creating suspicion ana dis
trust in this country.

HEATH TALKS OF HAY.
First Assistant Postmaster General
interviewed at London.

LONDON, August 1.-THE papers of this
mol ming while expressing regrets over the
departure of Col. Hay, give voice to salts
faction that he is going to fill post which
promises important results for Anglo
American relations. All compliment him
upon the splendid services he has rendered
here.
The Daily News publishes an interview
with First Assistant United States Post
mester General Perry S. Heath in which
he is quoted saying that nobody who
unders taGds the real sentiment and desires
Of the American people and the Mckinley
administratio can doubt the advisability
OF Col Hays new appointment
As a member of the government" said
MIR. Heath, Il violate no secrets in saying
that the people of the United States and
Great Britain are rapidly finding them
selves travelling in much the same direc-
ton. Col. Hays London popularity makes
him popular at home. That is a strange
thing to say, looking at past eventS, but it
shows the trend of opinion.
Then, again, the questions with which
Col. Hay VIII have to deal in the next few
months are quest tions which he already
has had a very large hand in as ambassa-
dor. He will be able to look at than first
through the eyes of Europe, and then as
an American In many respects l regard
Mr.. Reid most likely to be Col. Hays
SUCCESSOR. His health is now better than 1t
has bean for years, and 1t was i'll health
that debarred him from office before. While
there are some local reasons why Mr.. Reid
would be opposed in New York, 1 believe
that if Mr.. Platt's partner, Judge Tracy
were appointed to the peace commission,
he would agree to Mr.. Reids going to
London"

Harry V. Burrows, William H. Burrows
anG Bernard F. Ashford last week walked
from here to Colonial Beach in rainy
weather, starting Tuesday. The boys claim
to have ad a grand time. They made the
trip on a wager, a friend insisting that
they could not walk from this city to Co
lonial Beach in thIee days. They arrived
at their destination Thursday evening, win
ming the bet. The start was made without
either having a cent, and they were al
ways ignorant of where their next meal
would be secured, as well as where they
would lodge next The hospitality of the
Virginia farmers, however, did not fail
them. The route began at Washington,
over the Long bridge to Alexandria, thence
to Qpantico, to Fredericksburg, where they
left the railroad track and piked a heavy
road of mud for forty miles to the beach.
The distance covered was about l25 miles
