Victory with Characteristic
Hospitality.
Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Dispatch to The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va, August 1.-The third
district convention met here at noon today
to nominate a candidate for Congress. In
many respects 1t was, one of the most
unique political assemblages ever held here.
For the second time in his congressional
career Captain John Lamb. who now repre-
sents this district. had no opposition. and
his campaign expenses being extremely
light he determined to invest some of the
money he would have spent to defeat an
opponent in making his denomination some
thing more than cut-and-dried affair.
With this end in view he caused Sanger
Hall. where the convention was held. to be
turned into a veritable bower Of beauty.
palms and evergreens of various kinds be-
ing freely used. Among the shrubbery was
stationed splendid band, which enlivened
the waits between speeches, which would
otherwise have been dull.
The greatest innovation of the occasion,
however. was the presence of ladies. never
before. probably. in the history of the state
they having graced an assemblage of this
nature by their presence.
Dwelt ON imperialism.
The convention was called to order at
noon by Mr.. H. G. Buchanan, former law
partner of Tazewell Elicit once representa-
tive from this district, who, in lengthy
speech, emphasized the fact that imperial
ism is the chief issue with which the DEM
ocrats have to do during this campaign.
He administered the usual castigation to
the republican party for alleged malfeas-
ance in office. and highly eulogized Bryan
and Stevenson. well the platform con-
structed at Kansas City.
MIR. l.. q. Wendenburg, leading young
lawyer of this city. placed Capt. Lambs
name before the convention in a speech
dealing with the questions now before the
country. He aScribed the good times pre-
va;lfnS as due almost wholly to an ..uneX-
pected war" which had per force put In
circulation many millions of dollars.
Speech of Acceptance.
The speech of Capt. Lamb. in accepting
the honor. was devoted to a lengthy review
of existing conditions viewed from a
democratic standpoint. and a eu.ogy of the
Kansas City platform, well as the candi-
dates who stand thereon The convention
adopted brief series of resolutions p.edg-
Ing fealty to William Jennings Bryan and
TO the doctrine enunciated at Kansas City,
Republican Plans in Virginia.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
RICHMOND. Va. August lit is learned
today on good authority that the repubii-
cans will make no effort to carry the state
Of Virginia as a whole this fall, but will
concentrate their efforts on the second
ninth and tenth districts, to endeavor to re-
turn republican representatives from those
districts. Senator Hanna. it is stated. does
not regard Virginia as good fighting ground.

THE BUILDING TRADES.
Effort to Settle Differences Between
Rival Councils.

At the meeting last evening of the Build
ing Trades Council. over which E. ]. Rati-
gan presided. the committee appointed at
the last meeting Of the Central Labor
Union-James L. Feeney. ID. w. Streets and
John Hammerstron-to see If an agreement
can be reached by which the present trou-
bles between the two rival building trades
councils of the District of Columbia may be
adjusted, was present. The matters at is
sue We're explained to the committee by
members of the council and committee
appointed to cooperate with the Central
Labor Union committee to secure the de-
sired end.
The committee on the part of the council
is composed of Milford Spohn, f. l.. Lo-
max and Charles McGowan. The question
of instructing the committee as to its
duties was discussed. and it was decided
that the entire question should be left 20
the Judgment of the members.
The peace" or Central Labor Union COM
mittee afterward visited the council pre-
sided over by John Fitzgerald. and after
stating the object of the call, appointed
committee. composed Of Jamss McIvor,
Henry L. Strebb and Fred OConnor to con-
fer jointly with the other two committees
on the subject No date has vet been
fixed for the joint meeting to be held.
The trouble which resulted in dual coun-
ellis dates from March % last. when it is
said the methods pursued by the organiza-
uCnS composing the council now presided
over by Mr.. Fitzgerald. in the admission of
a Knight of Labor assembly which was
prohibited by the constitution of the coun-
ell, resulted in considerable disorder. and
by a practically unanimous vote the coun-
Gil adjourned sine die. A short time there
after the two factions met in separate
councils, and that condition has since pre-
vailed.
The Ratigan council is composed of the
following unions: Bricklayers', No. |: Hod
Carriers Union. No. 1: Plumbers and Gas
Filters Association. No. 5: Steam and Hot
Water Filters. No. 10: Steam and Hot Wa

Misrepresentation by Which the
BOers Are Kept Together.

PRETORIA. Tuesday, July 31.-Mrs.
Botha was the guest of Lord Roberts at
dinner yesterday evening.
The Boer animosity to President Kruger
grows on account of the fact that his off,
cials are persuading the people that South
African republic paper money is as good
as Bank of England notes, because it is
based on inalienable state securities. even
though the state should be conquered. As
the English have not recognized this con-
tention. many burghers have been retained
and much misery prevails. The wives and
children of the poorer Beers are almost
starving.
General Botha's force Is kept together by
extraordinary inventions. This correspond
ent has seen an official circular asserting
that Lord Roberts was forced to retrea t
south of the Vaal and that Lady Roberts
escaped in balloon.
