political work. He is the Virginia MEM
ber of the Democratic Congressional Cam
paign Committee, and as member of the
Executive Committee, in the absence OF
Senator White, of California. is in charge
of Democratic headquarters, No. as Thir-
teenth street, northwest. Senator White
has not been here since the adjournment
OF Congress, and consequently, the entire
work of the committee has fallen on Rep
resentative Jones.
Assisted by eX-Congress0lan James
Kerr, OF Pennsylvania, the secretary of
the committee, Mr.. Jones' has for the past
two weeks been engaged in the prepara-
ton of Democratic campaign hand book.
This is no ordinary task. 1t requires deep
research. the utmost accuracy as to 90
litical facts. and the most convincing and
unanswerable arguments as to past and
prospective political history. lie has
nearly completed the handbook, and the
work will probably be out by the 1st of
September.
OPENED THE CAMPAIGN.

Mr.. Jones ran down to Warrenton. N
E.xey's District, where he opened the
campaign In a very effective speech, and
was attentiyely listened to by most in
telligent and good-sized crowd OF Fau-
quier Democrats.

gag 9nts in his own district, and ne ex-
Pc ID be at home now, bur the press
Ing Guiics at headquarters have detained
him, and he will probably not get OF be-
fore the latter part Of the present week.
The headquarters occupy two stories-the
second and third-of No. 726 Thirteenth
street, northwest, with some six or eight
rooms fitted up with desks for clerks,
chairs for visitors, boxes of campaign
literature, electric fans, and refreshing
ice-water, which is very acceptable during
the present terribly heated term.

tract for at least five OF tho ten boats on

! that for the whole ten, Is here He was
at the Navy Department both to-day and
yesterday, comforting with Commodore
Melville chief engineer Of the navy, and
others.
Mr. Trigg has not yet perfected his ar
rangements for the building OF the boats
when the contracts are awarded. II Is
the belief. however, that portion of the
docks just above the locks near Rockets
will be made into a shipyard, for the
construction OF the hulls Of the boa,s.
The machinery will. of course, be built
at the Richmond Locomotive and Ma
chine Works. and can easily be taken TO
the boats as they are ready 10 receive it,
without loss Of time. This would be an
admirable arrangement. and will bring
new life and energy 10 the lower portion
Of the city.

GUS policy would be pursued with re-
spect to the evacuation OF Cuba.

pected to have evacuated the island by
