Mr. Montseue. Of vIrsinis-

Authenticated and inpulF,ve. Mr.. An
drew JacksoE--or is IL Andrew Johnson
Montague, of Virgiaia, is in q terrible
state OF mind. He foams and froths and
beats the lambient air
Dir. Montague. OF Virginia, Is a candi-
date for governor. In fact, be is one of
many candidates, all of whom. like him
self and Brutus. are honorable men. II
Is this ambition which has led him, or his
friends, to complain loudly. to lament up
on the house-tops, to smite with fury the
managers of the Democratic campaign.
According to these utterances. Mr.. Nor
tzgue has net been fairly dealt with. He
has been assigned, we are told. ito cross
roads appointments and small. out-of-the-
way courthouse stands, while some of
his opponents for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation have been assigned TO big places /"
And so Mr.. Montague's friends are loud
ly urging him TO make his own appoint-
nients. 'and, in short. run his own She
bang"
In language less forcible. but more
dlgnifed, State Chairman ElIyson has re-
FLIED that Mr.. Montague's rival candi-
dates have not been given choice appcint-
ments; that he has been assigned to the
leading counties of the State and TO the
cities of Petersburg, Lynchburg, and
Roanoke, and that he has had pretty
much his own way in the matter OF To-
ealities for speaking ever since the cam
ptien opened. The whole affair seems 20
have been a tempest in teapot, but. GER
ta!nly. Mr.. Ellyson's complete and frank
statement must end the controversy. We
earnot help. however. from sympathizing
with Mr.. Montague The governorship is
a pleasant job. and he covets it, He does
not want TO be handicapped in the
race through the denial of his in
spring presence In the cities ard
counties where wealth and inteIIi
genee abound. He knows that when
he sings all other lutes are dunno.
He knows that for grace Of oratory nc
rivals Senator Daniel, and for rugged
virtue is excelled only by Pitcher, of Fau-
euier. We trust that Ellyson will see
There are only five more weeks for the
campaign. In that time the voice of Mon-
tague ought TO be heard from the noun
tain to the sea. IL he is relegated to the
backwoods and the crossroads, we shall
find Virginia weeping as Rachel for her
children. and our own souls will ex-
perience a vacuum which cannot be filed.

RAPID TRANSIT PROBLEM.
Underground Electric Traction the Obvious
Solution of IL.

From the Chicago Times-Heraid.
Tat underground electric traction Is the
ultimate solution Of the rapid transit
problem in the larger cities of this coun-
try and Europe has long been apparent
to engineers. The recent suboT plans
suggested by President Roach as a sOlu-
ton of the traction problem in this city.
while deemed somewhat chimerical by
many, are never ...eless in line with mod
ern progress in systems of urban trans
portation.
Fresh interest in the practicability and
economy of underground street railway
transportation is stimulated by recent
reports upon the success of the under
ground electric railway in London. This
line. which extends from the Bank of
England I'm the center Of the city to Shep-
herds Bush, distance OF six miles, and
which required four years to construct
and an outlay of s1I,O32. $50. was opened
on July 30 last. Its success was imme-
diate and notable In letter 10 the
State Department Consul General Os-
borne writes that in three days the road
was used by 10000 passengers. The road
has many American innovations which
are greatly appreciated by Londoners. 1t
and twenty-eight torpedo-shaped engines,
which were built in the United States.
So great has been the success OF the
underground electric that engineers free
ly make the prediction that in ten years
London will be supplied with a vast net
work of underground electric railways,
with a grand belt of electric lines encir-
cling the metropolis. The new system, IL
is claimed, has not only emptied the om-
nibuses, but has thinned out the crowds
on the pavement.
There is little doubt that any plans af-
fecting the surface lines in Chicago and
New York are only temporary makeshfts
TO be regarded as merely preliminary 10
the final underground solution of the
traction problem-the only solution that
will relieve the congestion in the streets
and give rapid transit by doing away with
street crossings.

Sir George Wombwell who has been
entertaining number of royalties at
Newburgh Priory In Yorkshire. for the
Doncaster races and for the shooting,
has the blood of Oliver Cromwell in his
veins. and is a descendant of the great
Protector. for his grandmother was the
daughter and heiress of the last Lord
Fauconberg. and the second Lord Faucon-
berg married Mary Cromwell, daughter
OF the Chief Magistrate of the British re-
public, in the seventeenth century New.
burgh Priory, which is one OF the most
picturesque and interesting country seats
IN Yorkshire, contains not only a large
number OF Cromweliian relics but like
wise the remains of the great Protector
which, after having been disinterred from
their tomb In London, after the restora-
ton of King Charles III, and exhibited at
1yDurn, then the place of public eXecu-
ton, were brought secretly TO Eewburgh
and walled up at the priory, in a place
that is only known TO the chief of the
family for the time being. Newburgh was
for four centuries prior TO the reforma-
ton an Augustinian priory, and was
granted by King Henry VIII to his friend
and trusted follower, Anthony Beasyse.
the ancestor of Sir George Wombweli.
The latter is an old Crimean officer He
was present with is regiment, the Death
or Glory" Lancers, at the battle Of Bala-
kiava, and took part in the word-famed
charge of the Light Brigade, immortalized
by Tennyson's poem. He was made
prisoner by the Russians during the me-
lee, but she'll burst In the midst of his
captors and he seized the opportunity to
knock one Of them from his horse with
his fist and gallop away.
The priory is in the parish Of CoSgold.
Of which sterne was for many years rec
tor. Indeed Shandey Hall. the residence
Of Sterne, has been carefully restored By

daughter of the late Earl Of Jersey, and
whose niece is married 70 the present

Jessie at first denied all that I told

she then confessed it all and then she
said; Well. you may read the letter.
AS she said this she arose from the
lounge. and. passing in front of me and

The next thing I knew Jessie Nor

self the best I could from the blows.
I cut my fingers in trying TO get the

TURKISH CLAIM SETTLED
Cramps to Pay Over the Amount of
Indemnity.

Washington. Dec. 3.-The officials of
the state department decline to make
any statement for publication relative
TO the announcement from CONSTANT
nople that the Turkish government had
arranged to pay the American mission
claims under cover Of a contract with
the Cramps for warship. Nevertheless
there is reason to believe the report is
well founded. and the claims are in a
fair way to be paid lt is the expecta-
ton that the Cramps. instead of under
taking to deal directly with the claim
ants, VIII turn over to the state de-
parrment the amount Of the claims. in
the neighbOrh0Od of G23 600. and that
the department viii disburse the money
20 the claimants. While in this way
there viii be no direct dealings be-
tween the United States and Turkish
government, the end in view. namely,
the collection of the money, viii be
effected. and there is no disposition to
be captiOus as to the form taken in the
payment.
The settlement of this matter will
permit the battleship Kentucky TO pro
coed on her way to Manila or return
over her route far enough to pick up
the American consul at Tangiers and
assist him morally in the collection of
the indemnity demanded in the Esze-
gui case. The state department pre-
fers the use OF an imposing craft like
the Kentucky, rather than a cruiser.
but if the former cannot complete her
original mission in season. then re-
course can be had to the Dixie for use
