many that the crisis in Cape Colony is
over and that the British have the stu

patches from South Africa it appears
possible that the Boer activity, extend
ing over a wide area, is the result of an
organized plan for long war. At
tacks on British garrisons have been
made at widely separated points in the
past few days. According to official
dispatches these attacks were repulsed,
but the Beers did not suffer serious loss
aud apparently are in a position to re-
new the attacks indefinitely. 1t is be-

THE VIRGINIA GoVERNORsHIP

The weight of opinion in the Vir-
GINA colony 10 Washington is that the
next governor of the Old Dominion
will be Claude A. Swanson, Represent
alive in Congress from the Fifth district
of Virginia. There are three avowed
and conspicuous candidates for the dis.
tinguished office. They are Mr.. Swan.
son, Mr.. J. Taylor Ellyson, Chairman
Of the State central democratic commit
tee, and the encouragement of Vir-
GINA, Mr.. Montague. Each has enter
! ed upon his canvass, and the lines be-.
tween their partisaDs are already quite
sharply defined. No time has been de-
| termined upon for the nominating con-
vention. Ia Virginia this is held at a
| date fixed by the democratic central
committee, and that committee meets
at the call of the chairman, who, as al
ready stated, is Mr.. Ely SOD.
Mr.. Swanson's strength is scattered,
it is said, throughout northern Virginia,
hut is overwhelming in the Fourth ana
Fifth districts, comprising the counties
of Amelia, Brunswick, Dinwiddie,
Greensville, Lunenbure. Mecklenburg,
Nottowsy. PowhataD, Prince Edward,
Prince George, Sussex, Carroll, Floyd,
Franklin ,Grayson, Henry, Patrick, Pitt
sylvanis, and the cities of Petersburg,
Danville and North Danvile. tits said
that he leads his opponent 10 the Ninth
and Tenth districts, comprising the
counties OF Bland, Buchanan, Craig
Dickinson, Giles, Lee, Pulaski, Russell,
Scott. Smyth, Allegheny, Amherst, APP
pamattox, Augusta, Bath, Botetourt,
Buckingham, Cumberland, Fluvanps,
Highland, Nelson, and Rock bridge, and
the cities of Bristol, Staunton, aud
Buena Vista.
Mr.. Ellyson's strength, it is said, is
greatest in the Third district, of which
Richmond and Manchester are the
centre, and Mr.. Montague's strength is
admitted to be most marked 10 the
First. or Fredericksburg district. Ia
the remaining districts of the State
neither candidate has sny particular
advantage, unless it be In the Eighth,
where Mr.. Ellyson's prestige appears
to be greatest. This district comprises
the counties of Alexandria, Culpeper,
Fairfax, Fauquier, King George, Lou
doun, Louisa, Orange, Prince William,
Stafford, and the city of Alexandria.
The Virginia delegation in Congress
espouses the cause of Mr.. Swanson.
with the exceptions of Representative
Lamb, who is an Ellyson man, and
Representative Jones. who stands for
Mr.. Montague. Mr.. Rixey ia placed by
some in the doubtful column. This
leaves for Mr.. Swanson Senators Daniel

The attention of Senator Jones, oil

is true,p SAID MIR. Jones, shat expect
to call meeting OF the eX-committee
after Mr.. Johnson's return from Cali
fornia, but have not yet even notified
Secretary Sexton or any member OF the
committee OF my intention. 1t is not
true that the meeting will dis
cuss Mr.. William ]. Bryan's future. 1t
will be confined to some minor details
of camp ign work which has been
under consideration for some time. AS
to the rest of the story, if there is any
member of the committee who believes
that Mr.. Bryan is actuated by
selfish motives l do hot know
how it could be. One Of tie
principal reasons for my admiration OF
Mr.. Bryan is that / believe him to be
absolutely sincere aud earnest in the
cause and has been willing at any time
to withdraw from candidacy for any Of
fee il he or anyone else believed that
by so doing he could advance the
interest of his party. Washington
said of Gen. Greene that he was
the only General in the Continental army

his commission and shoulder musket as q
private in tho ranks if he could thereby as.
sist the cause for which he was fighting. The
same thing can be said of Mr.. Bryan"
