REPRESENTATIVE OvERsTREET, Sec
rotary of the republican congressional
committee, arrived in Washington yes
terday and in speaking of Tuesday,
election said:
at is to be regretted, but nevertheless
it is true, that the Tammany organiza-
ton is powerful element in New York
politics. Until it can be overthrown
through public sentiment in New York
it will necessarily play an important
part in New York State affairs.
Instead of being overthrown by public
sentiment Tammany is growing in
strength daily and despite occasional
"reform movements" has governed New
York city better and more economically
than has any other party. Tammany is
a thorn in the flesh of the republicans,
and is the bulwark of democracy in
New York, and if the party in other
sections of the country would organize as
thoroughly as Tammany it would be in
yincible.

SATURDAY EVENING, NOV. 5, 1902

TIE MANAGERS of the theatres in the
large cities of the country have at last
reached the sage conclusion that the
newspaper is the proper medium for
advertising purposes, and the practice OF
placing photographic pictures in store
windows is to be abandoned as I'M
remunerative and unsatisfactory. That
the newspaper is the most profitable
medium in which announcements can
possibly be made has long been apparent
TO shrewd and successful business people,
and is attested by the fact that the lead
ing merchants in the larger cities are
still the most extensive advertisers.
They have made advertising a close
study and are well aware of the fact that
advertisements, when placedi in RESPONSE
BILE journals, are read and produce the
desired results. Years ago this was as
we'll understood in Alexandria as else
where. and no one embarked in any
branch of business without using the
columns of local newspaper. The re-
suit naturally followed and the retail
trade was in a large measure confined TO
home. 1t is not so now, and this de-
parture doubtless explains why many
Alexandrians who read the price lists OF
all sorts of articles published In news
papers of other cities neglect the home
stores in order to examine goods offered
at mark-down prices elsewhere. 1t is
said to be fact chat in most cases similar
articles can be purchased here equally
as cheap, but this information is lacking,
as many still persist in endeavoring to
expand their trade by ignoring the
newspaper. 1t is about time all had
realized the futility of such course.

The Kaiser in England.

Port Victoria. Nov. 8.-The Kaiser,
aboard the imperial yacht Hohenzollern,
aud escorted by several British cruisers
and battleships, arrived here at 8 o'clock
this morning. The day was bright and
sunny and the varioDs vessels In the
harbor presented fine spectacle. AS
soon as the Hohenzollern docked, the
German Ambassador at London and
representatives of King Edward, includ-
inc Lord Roberts, boarded the German
Yacht. and welcomed the Kaiser to
British shores. The party Immediately
,entrained for Shorncliffe camp, where
they arrived at i1:i5. Shortly after
the arrival of the party at the camp, the
Kaiser reviewed the first Dragon
Guards. of which he is Colonel in Chief.
After the review the party left for
sandringham, where they will arrive at
7 o'clock this evening.
A number of the English papers In
tend making the Kaiser's visit to Eng
land the occasion for urging better
understanding between the two coun-
tries, but few journals make adverse
criticism of his imperial majesty. To
DAYS issue of the London Sun says
1.-The King has made the Kaiser a
British Field Marshal, but this did not
prevent the latter from trying to per-
suade France to join in Intervention to
end the Boer war. The Kaiser said be
was greatly attached to his grandmother,
yet he allowed the capital (Berlin) to be
flooded with filthy cartoons aimed at
our late queen. SO now, doubtless, he
will say many pleasant things to the
King and British ministers, but let us
hope they will not be duped. There is
no man England needs to watch with
more sleepless vigilance.
Rome, Nov SIT is stated In
diplomatic circles here that one of the
objects of the Kaiser's visit to England
is to arrange for partition of a portion
of the Ottoman territory in Asia.

ONE OF the Washington republican
papers which derives a considerable
share if its revenues from the South,
which section it constantly makes vain
attempts to belittle, because it remains
true to democratic principles, in speaking
of Vice-Presidential possibilities says
"the South, of course, is not, and should
not be, in the republican calculation.
There is no thoroughfare for the party
in that quarter" The paper referred to
is sectional, as is also the republican
party sectional and one of its cardi-
nal principles is hatred of the South.
When it is to this party's interest, II
talks of a reunited country, but such
talk is mere gable and is so known to
be by all sensible people. The South
'fs not taken in the republican calcula-
ton" at all except at national conven-
tons where the leaders of this high moral
party have to figure on the costs of the
negro delegates from this section, though
they know that these delegates are from
States that will not give single repub-
lican, vote in the electoral college. Why,
for the past forty years, under republi-
can administrations, the South, though
constituting one-third of the entire area
and population ofthe country, has hardly
been represented in the Cabinet.

FIGHT WITH OYSTER PIRATES

FIGHT WITH OYSTER PIRATES
Justice Henry F. Jones returned to
Newport News yesterday morning from
a trip up the James river where
he had an exciting experience with oys-
ter pirates. On Thursday the patrol
steamer james River ran upon the sloop
Mascotte, of Atlantic City, n. j., about
ten miles mp the river, unlawfully load
ing oysters. A fine of Sl5 was imposed,
which Capt. w. II. Parker, of the sloop,
refused to pay. The steamer came back
and got Justice Jones. Returning, it
found the Mascotte under full sail, head
ed to sea. She refused to stop, and there
was chase. Parker refused to take the
line thrown to him, and Inspector Sim
clair jumped aboard the sloop to make
the line fast. Parker jerked out knife
to cut the rope, and was covered with
revolver by Sinclair. Parker threw off
the line and attempted to run down the
little steamer, which was struck by the
Mascotte's boom, and lost her smoke
stack. Justice Jones jumped aboard
with the warrant. Parker attempted to
make off with the magistrate aboard, but
was overtaken by the steamer, and, upon
the payment of the fine, was allowed to

ONE OF the republican papers of
Washington yesterday evening stated
that republicans of prominence who
were visitors at the White House today
assert with frmness and positiveness that
there will be no revision of the tariff be-
tween now and the next presidential
election and that the tariff schedules will
not be touched under any circumstan-
ces." So it would appear that the tariff
is not even to be revised by 'its
friends" and that the republicans made
promises before the election which they
had no idea of fulfilling afterward. But
this is an old trick of theirs with which
they delight to catch mugwumps.

THE NINTH DISTRICT.

1t has been difficult to gain any posi-
tive information as to the returns in the
Ninth district, for the reason that even
the returns in Congressman Rhea's pos
session are official only as to nine
counties and the city of Bristol. The
counties not yet officially reported are
Buchanan, Dickinson, Giles, Russell and
Tazewell. The majority given out from
Congressman Rhea's headquarters, Off
cial and unofficial, would elect Rhea by
233. Chairman Lindsey, of the repub-
lican committee, insists that Slemp is
elected, and that making due allowances
for irregularities, he will have over 300
majority. OF course nothing positive
can be stated until the returns are all in
and canvassed, but the democrats are
quite hopeful that the official count will
give the victory to Judge Rhea by
majority that cannot be disputed.
Chairman Lindsey states that even if
Slemp should fail to get the certificate
of election, contest would follow.

wears, was found in her room at 10
Thomas street this morning. Her head
was crushed by some blunt instrument.
The police searched the house and

The old man was taken into custody,
but denies that he murdered his wife
or that he has any knowledge of the
crime. He told the police that he has
been dreaming about burglars for some
time past, and that he might have used
an axe on his wife during one of his
dreams. The axe was found in the
room with the murdered woman 1t
was also discovered that the murderer
had attempted to destroy evidence of
his crime with soap and water, for the
floor was wet and there were marks Of
water on the bed and on McCloskey' 5

CAN ESCAPE VOLCANIC BLA

CAN ESCAPE VOLCANIC BLAST. -
After making a personal investi-
gator of the eruption of Mont. Pelee
Professor T. A. Jaeger, jr., of
Harvard, Mass, has come to the con-
clusion that it is possible to preserve life
during the violent disturbances incident
to volcanic eruptions in the immediate
vicinity. He says thatin early eruptions
and similar ones to Pelee the loss of
life was caused mostly by the intense
heat, falling stones, blast of wind and
sufocations. In the recent eruphons,
he said, some lives had been preserved,
and in these cases the persons had been
preserved in enclosed cellars or chambers
of masonry, which had been protected
by walls, or some natural barrier.

nation filed the breast of the crown
prince of Siam in Chicago yesterday.
His anger was of such proportions that
he was almost of mind to refuse all
invitations and leave Chicago as soon as
possible tor st. Louis. 1t is understood
that the prince considers he was grossly
insulted at the dinner given in compi-
ment to him at the Chicago Club by
Melville E. Stone Thursday night. Ac-
cording to the ideas of those who plan
ned the affair it was a pretty compli-
ment to attire the servants in oriental
robes, with japanese cymbals to clash a
welcome to Prince Maha. His highness,
however, did not accept that view. He
took it as an insult. "Why should the
Americans dress servants in imitation Of
Siamese and expect prince OF that
blood to be f1atteredY' said he. 1t is
reported that the prince, in discussing
the contretempts with his attendants, ex-
pressed wonder that Mr.. Stone did not
think of wearing silk robes himself, if
compliment was intended. During the
day he visited the stock yards, the Deer
ing harvester factory, and lunched at the
Deering home, in Evanston. Yesterday
evening he and his party witnessed the
performance at the Illinois Theatre, and
at 11:45 left for st. Louis.
