AT HISTORIC LEoNARDTowN.

Many Washingtonians There ON Va
catiOn-Confiict In Breton Bay.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
LEONARDTOWN, Md, August n, 1901.
Many Washingtonians have come to this
picturesque locality. which Is as quaint as
it Is historical, to pass away the hours
There is much to interest strangers in this
section Of old ST. Mary's county. from the
ancient-looking vehicles, drawn by yokes
Of oxen, to the surrounding scenery and
the pretty structures with colonial sugges-
ticns; for be it remembered that the spot
where Lord Calvert first landed In this
country is marked by some pretty struc-
lures, including st. Mary's Female Sem
mary, on the elevated banks OF the ST.
Mary's river near the Potomac, where also
stood the city Of ST. Mary's, the ancient
copital Of Maryland.
Breton bay, placid body Of salt water,
which Is fed by the Potomac. is overlooked
by Leonardtown from the northwest. This
bay furnishes excellent bathing, fishing and
grabbing, and is only wrought into foamy
billows when the wind reaches the velocity
Of a gale. Consequently the washington
visitors enjoy many moonlight sails and
the healthful exercise Of padding about In
row boats.
Several days ago. however, the plaoidity
Of Breton bay was ruthlessly disturbed by
an unusual and rather exciting occurrence,
which will furnish food for table talk and
gossip for some time to come.
AS related by Captain Thomas +. Fox
well of Foxwelps Point, a stray shark Of
considerable size, while being pursued by
its relentless enemies school Of por-
poises, in the Potomac, turned into the en-
trance to the bay In an effort to evade its
pursuers The porpoises followed. There
were from 500 to 1000 Of the latter fish In
the school, 1t is estimated, and they tum-
bled and turned over every yard Of the
bay for several hours, lashing the water
into an angry foam and causing the luck
less shark to make a quick move for the
wide Potomac, with its traditional enemies,
the combative porpoises. in full pursuit.
The exciting episode was witnessed by
many.
The porpoises were so numerous and
demonstrative that they frightened nearly
ali Of the other fishes from the bay, and
since their sudden advent angling has been
at discount, the only fish caught at this
time being few small spots and white
perch, with an occasional rock Of fry size
The St. Mary's Beacon, weekly news
paper, published here, announces that Its
last issue was run on its new press for the
first time, being "the first steam printed

been published In Leonardtown since 1889.

A large political meeting was held at

all the candidates opposing McLaurin made
speeches. Senator McLaurin again de-
clined to be present. Senator Tillman sus-

be given the faithful as a reward for align
ing themselves with the new regime.
It is reported here that in the formation
of the new state committee-fve members
from each congressional d1str1ct-the much
heralded attempt to oust Senator Martin
from alleged control of the committee mis-
carried, that skilled leader having about
thirty friends on the new committee. Just
how the feat was accomplished Is not
stated, but 1T proves very conclusively that
when the new regime tackles such an un-
dertaking as ousting skilled leaders it is
not equal to the task. Senator Martin is
now In Europe, where he will remain until
the latter part Of October. It is not known
whether he desires to serve as member of
the executive committee of the party. which
will be named at an early date by State
Chairman Rl1yson.
Robert ". Blair Of Wythe, whom the re-
publicans nominated at Roanoke for lieu
tenant governor, Is just three years too
young to qualify for the duties of the po-
sition. should he be elected. D. Laurence
qroner OF Norfolk. the republican nominee
for attorney general, says that the republI-
can state committee will convene shortly
and make another nomination. The ques-
ton is being asked, who will be nominated? :?
In some quarters 1t Is suggested that w.
8. Lurty of Harrisonburg would be an ac-
ceptable candidate. He has always been a
stanch republican and is an able man.
Direction of Republican Effort.
Shrewd republican leaders say that no eff
fort will be made to capture the general
assembly by nominating candidates
throughout the state, but that the fight will
be centered on an effort to elect the state
ticket, thereby allowing the democrats to
control the legislature, hoping to have the
democrats who are disgruntled scratch the
head Of the state ticket and vote only for
resenting the alleged bad treatment re-
ceived at Norfolk. when the %reformers"
took everything in sight. The contest in

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.


RICHMOND. Va. August 27, 1901.
The democrats are delighted with the
nominations made by the republicans at
the Roanoke convention. The apprehen-
sion felt as to the success Of the demo-
cratic ticket has been considerably allayed
since the action of the Roanoke conven-
tion, the general opinion among democrats
being that the head Of the ticket Is the
most vulnerable man the republicans could
have nominated. His record is familiar to
all men who have taken any interest in
politics in the past ten years, his sudden
conversion from democratic to republican
faith being a sort of national event.
No man In the state undertakes the abil-
ity of Colonel Hoge. He Is conceded to
be the peer Of any debater in the state
since the death Of "Parson' Massey. AS
campaigner he is a most effective and in
teresting talker, his style being such as to
catch the voters. AS a stumper he has an
inexhaustible supply Of anecdotes, and he
will not hesitate to measure lances with
the best men who may be pitted against
him.
Colonel Hoge is anxious to arrange Sc
ries of joint debates with Mr.. Montague,
but 1t is very doubtful If he will have a
chance to meet the latter gentleman. Mr..
Montague is strong debater. but it is
hardly likely that he will divide time with
his opponent Colonel Hoge will make an
aggressive campaign, and whoever divides
time with him would be kept on the de-
feuSiye,
