ELECTION IN VIRGINIA
DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATURE Is
CONCEDED BY ALL.
There Will Be Some Sharp Contests in
Norfolk and Henrico
Counties.
Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.

special Correspondence OF Inc Evening Siafs
NORFOLK, Va. November 1. 1903.
The election in Virginia Tuesday is for
members of both branches of the legisla-
ture with senators who will hold over and
participate in the election of a United
States senator two years hence.
The election Is the first under the new
constitution of the state. which has re-
moved the negro from politics and once
more brought Virginia into the column of
states where the deciding of issues and all
questions coming up at the polls Is be-
tween the whites. The eastern section OF
the state will send solid delegation OF
democrats to both houses Of the general
assembly, while the result in the west and
southwest Is In some doubt.
Democratic State Chairman Ellyson con-
cedes that there will be Sprinkling of re-
publicans from the southwest. with few
independents from the west, but the demo-
cratic majority will be thoroughly safe.
In addition to the legislative fights each
county In the state Is electing new officers,
and the contests in some sections are most
spirited.
The hottest fights in the state are in Nor
folk county and Henrico county. In Nor
folk county the straightout democrats
are trying to beat the democratic and re-
publican fusion officeholders, who have
been in power ever since the days of re-
construction. With the elimination of the
negro the fusioniSts are greatly handi-
capped and the straightouts are claiming
big majoritieS. The entire attention of the
state is conferred on the fight hereabouts.

LITTLE VESSELS, LONG TRIP.
Taking Precautions for Safety of Tor.
pedo Boat Flotilla.

The Navy Department. is taking every
precaution for the safety of the five tor
pedo boats which are to be sent from
Hampton Roads to the Asiattc station for
permanent service Before deciding upon
the dispatch Of these small vessels to that
distant point of duty, the department called
on the general board to pass on the ques-
ton as to the necessity for such craft in
Asiatic waters, and having received an
affirmative opinion from that board, direct
ed the naval board of inspection and sur
vey to make thorough practical test of
each of the vessels to determine their capa
bility for the long voyage.
The board has already certified to the fit
ness of the Barry and the cambridge, and
this week will take the Decatur, Dale and
Chauncey to sea, separately to test their
seagoing qualities. In case all goes we'll,
the gallant little fotilla will start on its
journey about the middle Of this month,
under convoy Of the cruiser Baltimore,
which has been specially fitted out for the
purpose. The fact that the Baltimore has
been sent to Santo Domingo to meet an
emergency Is not likely to cause any serious
delay in the departure Of the expedition. In
case the Baltimore does not return to
Hampton Roads, the torpedo boats will join
her in West Indian waters and then con-
tinue the voyage to the west coast Of Afri
ca in company. The remainder of the
cruise will be made by way Of the Medi-
terranean the Red sea and Indian ocean.
