Hon. Basil B. Gordon, formerly of
Virginia, and at one time chairman
of the democratic State committee,
died Monday week at his camp in
the Adirondack Mountains. He had
been an invalid for nearly q year.
Mr.. Gordon was born in Rappahan-
nook county in 1850. He was edu-
Gated at the University of Virginia
and John Hopkins University and
was a man of brilliant literary gifts.
Before removing to Baltimore he
took an active interest in Virginia
politics and was for some years one
OF Senator Bsrbour's most capable
heutenants. He represented his dis
trict for term or two in the State
Senate and in January,.1s94, was an
aspirant for Congress before the con-
vention which assembled In Harris
onburg to name a successor to Col.
Chas. L. O'Eerrall. Mr.. Gordon
along with half dozen ,others was
defeated on THAT occasion by Maj.
Smith Turner. His ispeech before
the convention endorsing the nomi-
nee was one of the hsppiest hits of
the convention and it made Mr..
Gordon many friends among those
who had previously opposed him.
The last five or six years of his life
were spent in Baltimore, where
ne owned handsome property and
had large banking interests.

The views of wholesale dealers in
tobacco and cigvrs on the effect of
free trade with Porto Rico upon
their business are extremely varied.
Some believe that the competition of
the cheap labor Of Porto Rico with
the better paid cigar. makers of the
United States will lead TO the remov-
al of American cigar manufactures
to the island aud the reduction of
wages of cigarmskers in the United
States. The popularity of Porto
Rico tobacco is not regarded as a
sure result of its general sale in the
Z. S. Many dealers think it does
not meet the requirements of Ameri-
can taste in tobacco and will never
do so. Others believe that a few
months will see established In Porto
Rico factories where American grown
tobacco will be made up into cigars
and sold as Porto Rico stock Oh its
return to the United States. AS a
matter of fact, the conditions exist
ing in the trade with regard to Porto
Rican tobacco products are so new
that all is surmise and no positive
predictions are made, all the coun-
try can do is to wait and see what
will happen.

says the convention is making rapid
progress, notwithstanding a con.
trary report having gained currency,
and is fairly on the way of making the
new organic law. The suffrage COM
mittee, of which Senator Daniel is
chairman, is centered upon by all
eyes, and this committee hopes to be
ready to report upon the re-assem-
bling Of the convention. With the
suffrage question settled, it is very
probable the other questions will be
easily disposed of.
