ROOSEVELT SCORED
VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS OPEN CAM
PAIGN IN THIS CITY.
Lewis 81. Machen, Smith Thompson,
Jr., and E. Hilton jackson Make
Pertinent Political Addresses.

The Virginia Democratic Association
opei ed its campaign in the District of CO.
iumbia last evening and will continue to
hold meetings Friday evenings until the
election. The speakers of the evening di-
rected most of their remarks to criticisms
OF President Roosevelt, who was shown. to
the apparent satisfaction of the speakers to
be entirely unfit for the high position he
holds, while Judge Parker was declared to
possess In high degree every qualification
necessary Tor the prefer performance of the
duties of President
The meeting was held at 1870 Pennsyl-
vania avenue and was largely attended.
Lewis H. Machen of Alexandria. Va; Smith
Thompson. jr.. and E. Hilton Jackson each
spoke on the issues of the campaign
Judge Parker is kind and vigorous
man., declared Mr.. Machen. who was the
first speaker of the evening Judge Parker
is stepped in devotion to the Constitution,
and will bring to The executive chair an
ability, courage, sincerity and dignity quite
lacking In the present incumbent. In this
campaign the republicans have the adj
vantage of employing in political canvasses
men who are paid by the government to do
governmental work, and of being able to
make bargains with the great corporations.
Offering tariff protection for campaign
funds.
Violation Charged.
They have the disadvantage OF a tariff
policy declared out of date by the late
President Mckinley, n foreign policy STAIN
ed by the scandalous violation of treaty
obligations in Panama, and of having for
leader a man who openly violated the Con-
stitution when he nullified the law made by
Congress in regard to pensions Any one of
these usurpations of power not given him,
or betrayals of public confidence. is enough
to warrant Mr.. Roosevelts defeat, but most
abhorrent of all to the southern man is the
attitude of the President and his party in
regard to the social equality of the white
and negro races"
Smith Thompson, tr., declared the Presi-
dent had exceeded his constitutional powers
and had begun foreign policy that would
prove to be disastrous. He said If the
president is reelected he will assume. dur
ing the coming administration, the garb of
a more dominant nature. The energies of
the nation are all needed at home he said.
while the ambition of the President is to be
feared in the courts of Europe.
Mr.. Cortelyou, said Mr.. Thompson, had
demanded campaign funds the price for
not exposing fraudulent business transac-
lions and had prostituted the Department
of Labor to the end of the Presidents po-
litical machine
E. Hilton jackson devoted good deal of
attention to the case of Judge Tyner. He
said he had been informed that the Presl-
dent was preparing a reply to the Tyner
letter, but that it would not be given out
until after the election. A brave man. said
the speaker would not hold reply in such
case as that of Tyner until an election
has been held.

Mona collided with the English bark
Lady Cairns off Dublin bay Sunday
morning. The Lady Cairns sank in a
few minutes. Her crew of % were
drowned The Mona, which was much
damaged, was assisted into Dublin har-
Dor.
The Lady Cairns was three-masted
iron ship of 1856 tons. She was COM
manded by Capt T. Evans and was
bound from Liverpool for Timaru, New
Zealand. She was built in Belfast in
1869 and was owned by L. TullOch, of
Swansea. The Mona was commanded
by Capt. Schwarting and was last re-
ported at Ardressan.
Southampton, March 21.-The Amer
lean line steamship New York, Capt.
Young, from New York, March II. for
Plymouth, Cherbourg and SOuthamp-
ton, met with two mishaps Sunday.
grounding off Cape La Hague, France,
in the early morning, and later coming
into collision in the English channel
with the Peninsular and Oriental
steamship Assaye, under contract to
the British government and used as a
troop ship, bound for Bombay with 500
troops on board.
The New York grounded while ap-
preaching Cherbourg at 2:30 o'clock
Sunday morning during fog. The sea
was smooth, however, and the tide was
on the food, and within an hour and a
half the vessel was fioated without as
sistance. Her bottom was damaged
and there was water in the holds, but
she was able to proceed.
During the voyage up the channel a
dense fog descended. When off Hurst
Castle, England, the Assaye suddenly
appeared and it was found impossible
to avoid a collision. The New York's
bow crashed into the Assayes star
board bow. tearing a great gap in that
vessel. The New York's bowsprit and
figure head were carried away, and the
latter was smashed into fragments.
There was great excitement on both
vessels. The boats of the Assaye were
lowered and the troops were mustered,
but the bulkhead of the troopship
saved her. Both vessels were able to
ented Southampton; and the New York
was locked at $50 for temporary re-
pairs. Nobody was injured It will be
impossible to estimate the damage to
