WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN.
STATUS OF MATTER OF GETTING EN.
CUKSIONS 70 SrOr HERE.
Most of Them Have Chartered Trains and
Cannot Stop. Special New
port News GAYS.

Some of the Wiue-aWake citizens Of
| the city are looking into the matter
OF getting more of the c. &; O. excur-
sionS to stop here on their way to OLD
Point and l:uckroe Beach, and it :
probable that 4 petition of some sor,
will be Forwarded to the proper author
tiles in this connection before vcr.-
long
The road has Very little If anything
to DO with the usual excursion. The
trains. as rule. are chartered to rur
between certain points. and the com
pany has u" reason or authority To stop
Il train chartered through to Old Point
at Newport News unless; the promoters
OF the excursion desire it,
When Il party charters a train the
points at which that train shall stop
ar" left to the choice Of those charter
ing il. The company stops ut no other
points. except. DercEancc. for water or
to get out of the way or another train
Al this end Of the line the switches are
set before the train arrives by the
yaninaStcr here. and when the train
gets 70 the junction it does not have to
stop even to switch off on the OLA Point
line.
consequently a petition in connections
with this class Of excursions could have
no effect.
i'ut tllc runway company could be
asked TO stop its regular Sunday cXcur-
a!"lrS hei". or. better still provide Il
coach for those wishing To stop nj New

cratic Executive Committee.
ELECTION OF DELEGATES

or Primaries: Two Delegations or
One. Shall Th-ybe lnstructed:
Taking Dep"sit ons.

The next melting of the Democratic
C"nImittec is scheduled for the evening
Of August I'd. 4,lrt 1t seems likely ihus
there will he a meeting before that
date for the purpose Of discussing the
method Of clectIng Delegates to th,
nominating conventions.
1t has been pretty Well understood
that the delegates would be elected by
ward conventions. this being the cas-
lest tn"tli'}d ana the quickest but as
usual there is II large popular sent .mcni
in fav,a' of the primary pan because. it
is acknowledged to he the farcSt.
The expense aE,l trouble. connected
with the primary plan has always op-
Grated against IT. ANA is operating
against il in this instance. but ii Will
be urged in the committee that the r"-
suits more than countcrballncc the
expense.
The question of whether this city
shall Send one or TWO Delegations VIII
also be discussed. There is a decided
sentimen! in favor Of making the SEN
atoral ANA delegate dclcsHtiuEss one.
Opposed to this. however is 4 contrary
sentiment in favor OF sending two del
egations. independent OF each other
The question Of whether or not tht.

interesting one ana will be talked over
1t is recognized that the Keynote of
the whole cOtnlyaign is the coming fight
for the United States Scnatorship be-
tween Senator Martin and Governor
Tyler. This feature is snbordnating all
others just now, though in the case of
Newport News there are many local
issues which may well he deemed by
the people here of paramount inlpor-
lance. ana which, in the selection of
representatives from this district
should play an important part There
are certain changes proposed in the
city charter. the question OF en;rgir :;
the limits Of the city, of authorizing ;lh-
ditional bond issues. ana many other
matters that Will engage the serious at
tention Of Whpmcvcr the people select

Breckenridge to-day gave out q abatement In
which he charges that Senator Goebel. the
Democratic candidate for Governor Is pre-
pairing to steal the State. Breckenridge says:
THE Goebelitos are playing a smart game.
Their inflated and colored reports OF IN ceilings
are designed to prepare the public mind for
the declaration OF an unusually largo vote for
the ticket in those counties from which these
fancy reports are being sent. The best Goebel
work will be done at Frankfort by the trum-
virs. When they select the county triumvirs
the real campaign will be opened There Is
the battle. All those meetings are m erely Chin
nese gongs to raise camor and possibly de-
csive some one. Mr.. Goebel spoke In svery
section OF Kentucky during his canvass and
was rejected by four Hfths OF his party but he
owned committees. he slipped In false friends
to Stone and Hardin and won by what Mr. Set
tie so sweetly called a little game OF strategy.

yesterday. but this does not mean that the
crew had days rest. The men were busy
from early In the morning until late In the
afternoon working at many things that must
be done to got the yacht in shape for her races

unshipped on Wednesday afternoon and yes
terday morning it was sent to the machine
shop in the Erie Basin to be repaired. Several
metal plates were brought here to provide for
accident ef this kind Only a few of the most
trusted employees were allowed to work on
the broken spar. 1t was said on the Sham
rock yesterday that the break was not a seri-
Gus one and the gaff would soon be ready for
use again. The accident was partly due to
defective plate. and It is expected that the spar
will be strong enough for use in light weather
when repaired. The jaws. which broke first,
will BIO made stronger, and il the Job is COM
pleted this morning, tho gaff will be used on
the yacht in her trial to-day. The broken gaff
was thought to be strong enough for light
weather. but there are several other spars OF
different strengths. and tho break will not

The foot OF the clubtopsail was torn by
the Jagged ends Of the metal. and yesterday
the sailmakers were at work on the canvas. 1t
was thought that the break might have caused
