THE STATE ELECTION.

An election was held throughout Vir'
ginia yesterday for minor State officers
and In some OF the cities municipal OIL
ficers we're also elected. As rule the
democratic nominees had no opposition
and were elected. The vote was also
taken Cd the question of holding State
convention. 1t rained all day over
most of the State and the vote was
small. The indications are that the
convention measure, which was made q
party question by the recent democratic
State convention, has carried by fair
msiority. The principal opposition to
the con vention came from the counties
where there is large white republican
vote, notably in the Ninth district.
Some of the exceptions were Botetourt,
FIuvanns aud Powhatan.
1t seems that the convention propo-
sition has been carried In the Second,
Third, Fourth, Sixth. Seventh and
Eighth congressional districts. The re-
turns from the First, Fifth and Ninth
districts are unfavorable for the con-
vention. The Tenth district is in doubt
but many of the counties 10 the lower
part OF the district have gone for the
convention.
Richmond, Va, May 25.-The major
ity in favor of the convention will prob
ably reach 1900. -,
A special session of the legislature will
probably be held immediately after the Pre''

THE WAR IN AFRICA

Lord Roberts troops are now pear the
Vssl river, where, it is supposed, the
Beers will make a stand, The arrival
ogthe British at the Vaal, 1t is believed
in London, will mean the practical COM
pletion of conquering the Free State,
which will mark half the battle for the
British. There Ia a suspicion, however,
thai it will be the easier half which will
then be finished.
Signs point to the probability that
Lydenburg and not Pretoria will be the
scene OF the Beers greatest stand. A
nephew ofPresident Kruger is quoted in
London cablegram as saying that Lyd'
enburg is go surrounded by mountains
that its capture is impossible.
A Boer dispatch states that 3,OOO
British troops and 10 cannon are near
the Vaal, moving 10 the direction OF
Vredefort. Another dispatch says that
some more OF Roberts's troops are near
Wolmaranstad, about half way between
Bloemhoef and Klerksdorp, Thsse re-
ports indicate q move by Lord Roberts
to flank the Boer positions on the Wal.

note 10 his speech at the Confederate

when he said no Confederate soldier or
sympathizer should say he thought bis
cause was right, but that he kDeao it
was right, and had no apology to make
for having given 1t his support. If all

have more respect for them than they
entertain for the gushers.
