Business Mems League.

The Business Mems League held spe-
cial meeting last evening at 8 o'clock in
the rooms of the organization, corner Of
King and Washington streets. President
NJ. r. Harlow occupied the chair and Mr.
William f. Carne was in his place as sec
rotary.
1t was announced that the object of the
meeting was to discuss the best ways and
means of securing the establishment In
Alexandria of a silk factory or any other
manufacturing enterprise. Citizens inter-
eSted in the matter were invited to be
present, but few Of them outside of the
members of the league were on hand,
owing it is stated, to the excitement incl
dent to the democratic primary.
Mr.. Robert Elliott stated that the owners
of the old court house on North Columbus
street are ready to furnish that building
to the promoters of the silk factory enter
The statement was received with pleasure,
and it was decided to communicate with
the parties interested.
An informal discussion was entered into
in regard to the best methods of getting
interview manufacturers personally. He
President Harlow thought the best method
of procedure was to appoint committees to
regretted that so small a number of men,
bers and citizens had come out and Mr.
Carne suggested that the meeting adjourn
until next Friday night. This suggestion
was decided upon, with the understanding
that each member present would be one of
committee to- interview citizens inter-
ested in manufactures and urge upon them
the advisabilty of attending the meeting
Friday evening.
President Harlow announced the
death of Or. Harold Snowden, a mem
Der of the league, and, on motion, 1t was
decided that a committee be appointed to
draft suitable resolutions of respect to the
memory of DIR. Snowden. The chair ap-
pointed Messrs William F. Carne, C. G.
Leadbeater and Luther II. Thompson to
constitute this committee.
Before the meeting adjourned the old
question of having Alexandria connected
by rail with the coal and iron fields of
West Virginia was taken up and discussed
at length. Mr.. Harlow said he had inter-
viewed the officials of the Southern Rail-
road Company number of times in re-
gard to an extension of their line from
Strasburg to West Virginia, but he saw no
immediate prospect of success. The meet
ing then adjourned.

Held Yesterday.
REPRESENTATIVE SWANSON'S VICTORY
Meeting Of the Business Mems
League Last Night.

Evening Star Bureau.
No. 701 King St.


ALEXANDRIA, Va, May l. 1901.
The democratic primary held In this city
yesterday for the nomination of a guberna-
torial candidate resulted in victory for
Representative Claude A. Swanson over
Attorney General Andrew J. Montague by
the small majority of no out of a total of
1,GO votes recorded. The total vote was:
Swanson. 1,O35; Montague, OPS. The vote
by wards was follows: First ward
Swanson, 227; Montague. 1856. Second ward
Swanson. 172; Montague, $50. Third ward
court house precnct-Swanson, 213; Mon
tague, 212 Third ward Friendship pre-
| cinct-Swanson, 22S; Montague, 1873. Fourth
ward-Swanson, 1875; Montague, 264.
According to the decision of the demo-
cratic committee, Mr.. Swanson will have
| the privilege of naming the twenty dele
gates to which Alexandria is entitled. The
contest was one of the closest and hottest
ever seen in this city. All day the man
ayers worked at the voting precincts and
| the issue was in doubt until the last ward
had been heard from. The vote was per-
haps the largest ever cast here in pr-
mary. Corporation Attorney Gardner l..
Boothe, who managed Montague's cam
paign, has been highly complimented for
the fine fight made by his side
The Montague supporters affirm that If
they had had one or two more days their
candidate would have been successful
They attribute their defeat largely to the
action of the democratic committee in
forcing them to enter the primary before
their working organization was perfected.
The Swanson men are highly elated over
their victory, partly because of the mate
rial success in securing twenty delegates
and partly because the contest was the
first in the gubernatorial campaign.
Attorney General Montague, who has
been in touch with his supporters here,
heard early last night over the long dis
expressed some disappointment, but SEEM
| ed to consider that his friends had put up
| a splendid contest and had done remark
| ably well under the adverse circum-
| stances.

Yesterday in the U. S. Circuit Court
before Judge Hawley, the case of Bell
VS.. Sparks, ct. al, came up for a hear
ing.
The case is of unusual interest as it
involves question in mine ownership
or the right to follow the apex of a
ledge wherever it may lead. The first
suit instituted was by Wedekind who
sued for an injunction to stop Bell
from digging on the ledge that he
(BelD uncovered which apparently
came from the original find In this
case Judge Curler decided in favor OF
Bell. Another suit on the same groud
before Judge Talbot resulted in favor
of Wedekind. Judge Talbot decided
that the discoverer of ledge had the
right to follow his ledge on its dip
into any ground that it entered.
Bell then asked for an injunction
to prevent further work on the ground
while in litigation which injunction
was granted temporarily. Bell and his
associates then went to California and
incorporated under the title of The
King Desert Island Corporation and
instituted suit in the U. S. Circuit
Court to make the injunction perman-
