PETERSBURG. Va, May THE ward
meetings to be held on Thursday night to
elect delegates to a city convention which
will nominate the sixteen delegates from
this city to the State Convention, which
meets in Norfolk in August will be the
most largely attended in this city for
years.
The rivalry existing between the friends
Of Swanson and Montague is being shown
as the day for the ward meetings draws
near, and every effort is being made to
get voters to attend the meetings
The fight is a friendly one and all diff

RICHMOND, Va, May THE contro-
versy between Senator Martin and At
torney General Montague has reached an
acute stage. The latter is this afternoon
engaged in preparing a reply to the state
ment issued by the junior Senator yes
terday, in which he disclaimed any con-
nection with the management of Mr..
Swanson's campaign.
Mr.. Montague will incorporate in his
reply several extracts from the Rich
mond News" in which Senator Martin
said that he was in favor of Mr.. Swan
son, and would work for his success. This
was before the campaign opened.
Mr Montague will ask Senator Martin
10 explain several remarks he is said to
have made, and will comment on the
length of time he has been here since Mr.
Swanson opened his campaign
The Attorney General will call a spade
a spade. and the controversy promises to
become bitter. In fact, Mr.. Montague
reply will practically deny in detail the
statement issued by Senator Martin.
1t will be remembered that in a speech
recently made in Manchester, Mr.. Monta-
que severely criticised Senator Martin,
and in this connection said:
''The issue in Virginia is whether the
people shall make the Governor or wheth-
er one man shall name him
To these charges Senator Martin yester-
day made warm reply.

the reason that people will not be able
TO read such books through in week
and thus the expense of service will be
diminished.
There is money enough for book-buy-
ing among the American people; there
is no question of that; and for art, too.
One need only go into the average
country house and see the expensive
subscription books, and the illustrated
editions Of the poets, which have been
bought at one time or another, to un-
derstand that such family has spent
enough money on books in ten years
TO purchase a respectable collection of
good literature. The magazines have
done much in this line of popular edu-
cation, and 50 far as country villages
are concerned, it looks as if the travel
ing library. by making it possible for
the public to secure the new and good
books regardless of expense, would
carry on the work which the magazines
began fifty years ago.

ASKING FOR CIVIL RULE.
Petitions Sent to the Philippine
Commission hy the Natives.

MANILA. May "A delegation of rep
resentative inhabitants of the province Of
Manila has petitioned the Philippine Com
mission to amalgamate that province
with the province of Moronga. the in
habitants of which are seeking the privi-
teges that will come with a civil govern
ment. The petition declares that all the
insurgent leaders in the province of
Manila have surrendered. The Commits
sor has promised that conventions viii
be held in both provinces at an early date
at Pasig.
A delegation from Laguna province has
also requested the establishment of civil
government. The delegation asserted
that 10000 Inhabitants of twenty-nine
puebIos were willing to undertake the
subsection of the Ladrones remaining in
the province, and that they were capable
of carrying out the undertaking. The
Commission promised this delegation that
a convention would be held at Santa Cruz.
These are examples of the numerous
overtures made by the natives in behalf
of peace.
Lieut.. John ID. Hartman and siXty-three
men of the First Cavalry have had three

The Cebu newspapers, through a Manila
contemporary, protest in a sensational
Spanish way against the military censor

They claim that the conditions there

lishment of civil government by the

to indicate where censored articles were

ten days.
Admiral Schley arrived at Southampton
on Monday He made the trip from Mon
tevideo on a merchant steamer and will
cross the Atlantic in the same way. He
will leave England about the Goth instant,

Owing to the fact that he has but little
over four months to serve on the active

given the usual leave of absence during
that period before retirement. He has
just finished a tour of eighteen months
service on the South Atlantic Station. and

Yesterday the coal miners Of the United
Kingdom were undecided whether to go
on strike or not. The meeting Of their
executive board adjourned until today
without action Although the feeling over
the imposition Of the export tax is intense
among the coal workers, they are not
united on the strike question. The inland
miners do not want to go out. and then
there are those who claim that the coli
liery proprietors have deserted them af-
ter urging them to strike. The prospects
for a general tie-up. therefore, apparently
are much diminished. The adjourned
meeting today probably will tell the tale.

pounds in weight through the mails ex-
empt from examination by customs Of
ficials. The number of packages handled
by the postal authorities has greatly in
creased since the occupation of China, and
the accidental breaking open of several
packages has shown the contents to be
silks tapestries, and embroideries. The
order was intended to cover gifts, etc,
with no commercial purpose and not for
sale but as both the Customs and Post
office Departments have found it impos-
sible to discriminate. all packages sent

The copper interests of the country
are much worked up over the state
ment that the Standard Oil Company
has obtained control of 75,o00,000s
worth of the yellow metal and threaten
to throw it upon the market if the pro-
ducers fail to come to their terms and
curtail production to a minimum. The
Standard Oil Company control the
Amalgamated Copper Company, but
they will find it hard work to corner
the millions Of dollars invested in the
copper properties of the country. The
United Verde can pile up its copper
for years and still pay dividends from
the production of gold and silver con.
tanned in the ores. This is the case
with the Cananea and Arizona Mexico
companies. In the latter camp the
matte carries seventy ounces gold to
the ton, so it is alleged.

The copper mines of the country are
reducing the cost of smelling and mat
ting to a considerable degree. At Phe

ore for cost of l90S ton; at Duck
town, Tenn, copper is mined and mat
ted for 4l0S per ton; at Bingham, Utah,
the Utah Con. company is producing
copper at cost of but cents pound.
In some of the Arizona mines this price
is discounted considerably.
