THEu S. sENATORsHIP.

A dispatch from Richmond to the
Norfolk Ledger says: It is learned here
on excellent authority that Senator Mar
tin is to be opposed by only one of the
gentlemen who aspire TO the position OF
United States Senator Just who that
gentleman is remains to been seen. For
some days the friends Of the candidates
have been comforting as to what should
be done in the premises to insure the de-
feat of Senator Martin. The following is
the plan as agreed npon so far
Rel resentatives of Governor Mon
tague. Congressman William A. Jones,
Allen Caperton Braxton and "others"
are to meet here prior to the time for
making the nomination and agree
which has the more strength. When
that shall have been determined, the
rest will be easy-selecting an opponent
of Senator Martin.
There is just one thing in the way OF
the scheme, however, which is said to be
causing decided hitch. Major j. Hoge
Tyler is understood to be willing to
make the race as the opponent OF
Senator Martin, and there is considerable
doubt as to whether he will unite in the
conference and submit his claims. He
was a candidate for the position OF Cor
poration Commissioner-the business
man commissioner-and when he failed
to land that it is understood that his
friends became indignant and advised
him to be q candidate for the United
States Senate especially IN case
Governor Montague offered for the
position. 1t is also currently re-
ported that in case William A.
Jones or Mr.. Braxton enter the contest and
the governor keeps out that Major Tyler VIII
step aside, the attitude Of his friends Delng
that he owes nothing to the governor, while
he would not stand in the way OF the other
gentlemen named were they candidates against
Senator Martin.
The conference is said 10 be scheduled ior
the early part Of the session Of the General AS
sembly, to convene here in January.

VIII Consider Before He Acts.

London, Sept. st. ]. Barratt, the
Pears soap director, who has been
mentioned as a possible challenger for
the Americas cup, says relative to the
possibility of his challenging; :"
contemplated challenging for the cup
prior to Sir Thomas Upton, but as he
made such gallant effort to capture the
coveted prize, l think he is entitled to
have still another chance if he desires to
take it. / hope to become the cups
owner. but after Sir Thomas's expert
ence, and the cost of cup hunting, the
issuance of challenge gives me oc-
casion to pause, and at present am
unable to say what position | shall take
with regard to the matter, until after
Sir Thomas's decision becomes known. "

With war threatening between bui-
garia and Turkey, the Macedonian revolt
in actual and apparently effective opera
ton throughout Turkey in Europe, a
possible repetition of the King Alexander
and Queen Draga tragedy in Servia while
all over Syria there is talk in the Mussul-
man bazars of modern holy war against
the accursed Frank, the State Depart
ment is naturally taking anything save a
cheerful view of the situation III the near
Orient At the same time Minister Lelsh-
man seems to be the only foreign repre-
sentative at Constaniople who is not
sending his government panicky mes
cages. Leischman has not yet asked for
the presence of United States marines
at Constantiople. In fact he has cautioned
the department against this possibility,
alleging that such action would only tend
to inflame the populace and afiront Iur-
kew. The Machias is supposed by the
Navy Department to be approaching
Port Said although she has not yet re-
ported. a.,
Rear Admiral Cotton, commanding me
European squadron, has officially reported

cruisers Brooklyn and San Francisco.
Much mystery hangs over the State Depart el
ment this morning. Second Assistant Secre
tarv Adee put in about four hours work con
str1cting dispatch which is believed to con
tain detailed instructions toMinister Leishman
the representations he is to make to Turkey to
permit the use of the Machias as legation
boat and the arguments he IS TO employ wltl
The other sipnatory powers 10 secure their
consent to the patrol by the Machias of Con
stantinople's water front; This was done
only after Secretary Hay had collected from
the archives of the department all the paper,
the department has determined upon some
course of action which would be effective
though conservative.
