The health authorities here continue
she inspection of aii trains from the
south. but not for several days have
any passengers been discovered who
are believed to have been in the vicinity
of either Hampton or Phoebus since
the alleged yellow fever broke out at
the soldiers home. DR.. Wood ward
does not think there is any danger at
this end OF the line. The marine nos
pital service officials are atill on tbs
lookout so far as the reported infected
section is concerned, but they ciaiU
shat if there is no spread OF the disease
it will amply demonstrate what the
surgeons Of that service can accom-
plish. No new cases were reported
from Hampton this morning, and no
additional deaths have occurred. Il
received telegram from the home this
morning" said Surgeon General Wy
man of the marine hospital, the
situation there is improving"
One hundred and thirty-ive marines
LETT headquarters at the barracks here
this morning to begin the journey TO
the Philippines. They 90 to San Frau
cisco via New York. First Lieut.. K
T. Wynae commands the detachment,
which will probably be stationed al
Cavite when they arrive at their des'
tinaton.
Mr.. William Reardon has sold out
his ice business in this city to the ice
trust, and in the early fall will move
back to Alexandria.
It was reported here this morning thai
a lynching for the usual cause was al
tempted in Alexandria last night and
would be successful tonight. At one OF
the hotels Virginia republican, now
resident here, said if the lynchers neec.
co any help he would gladly 90 there
and assist them TO the extent OF MS pow
err. A democrat from his State, hearing
him suggested that he should commence
operations here by helping to iynch the
Northern white republican who has
lust outraged and then murdered lit
Tie white girl.
An Ohio republican recently return
ed from his State says that Mayor
Jones of Toledo, the socialist candidate
for governor of his State, will get
much larger vote than many people
suppose, and that by far the greater par;
of il will be cast by republicans, and for
that reason he fears the democratic
ticket may be elected there this fall.
The statement to the effect that ex-
President Hal rison, now abroad, has
come out as an avowed opponent OF
the administration Expansion" poll
cy, is credited here by ali who kno"
nim. They say they have known from
the first ihat he thinks the duty of the
people of this country is to the United
States, and that if they do that well, ii
is all that can be expected OF them.
They also say that Mr. McKnley's im
peralism is not endorsed by large
number OF the mem bers of his party in
every State of the Union, aud that the
statement referred to looks very much
as 4 the ex.President is not so much
out OF politics as some people believe,
and thst Notwithstanding Mr.. Hanna's
millions, be nay probably be heard OF
again at the ne1s national republican
convention.
A delegate to the convention 10
nominate candidate for the Virginia
Senate, appointed by the democrats OF
Prince William county at the Manassas
meeting yesterday, is here today. He
is strong Martin man, and sa} the
Martin men were we'll satisfied that Mr..
Donohoe, who is Martinite, will not
be instructed by the convention that
will nominate him.
1t has long been topic of current comment
here that though mir. Abner Mckinley has
such strong pull upon the administration
aud has profted by it TO such large extens,
in all his many visits to this city, he is rare
or never seen at any of the hotels or even
popular club houses where he would likely
be brought in contact with newspaper peo ie
or men who talk to such people, but stops ut
a small uptown club house, whore he is rs
private as he would be in his own residence.
