Among military men, the opinion pre-
walls that the Russians will be compelled
to take the aggressive on land in the next
campaign. Oyama may begin his work by
taking Mukden, but it is not believed he
will attempt to proceed further north. He
has in fact accomplished the full purpose
of the Japanese plan of campaign and
holds all the territory which constitutes
the casus beli. In the spring he will
prybably find himself confronted by q
superior force and will assume the de-
tensiye, simply holding what he has. That
ne will he able to hold it little doubt is
felt there. The question will then resolve
itself into how far Russia is willing to go
in the expediture Of men and treasure be-
fore being willing to accept peace on a
basis of japanese supremacy in Korea and
the absolute withdrawal of Russia from
Manchuria.

With the Russian naval power definite

that strong Japanese naval force will be
sent to European waters next summer to

London, Dec. 19.-It is reported that
a japanese fleet of forty vessels has passed
Pescadores Island, south of Formosa,
going south.
From Chefoo comes the news that a
portion of the japanese squadron has left
Port Arthur for Singapore, while num-
Der of Japanese merchantmen, lightly
armed, remained off the port to maintain
the blockade.
1t is presumed that the Japanese have
in mind a sudden attack on the Russian
Baltic feet divisions before they concen-
trate. Ifthis proves to be the case it is
expected that great sea battle will occur
in the Indian ocean.

allow the referees to name the officials all
over the State. Some of those now in
office are not in sympathy with the latter
day idea of Virginia Republicans, that
they who do not work sincerely 10 win
victory should not share in the distribu

may be change in the clerkship Of the

endous slump in the Republican vote in
Mr.. Bowden's district last fall. BowdeD

elected at the Republican convention In
Norfolk, after hard struggle with the
Slemp faction, which is in thorough accord
with the views of the President. 1t is said
that personal relations between Mr.. Slemp

the job which he holds and has held go

ELECT REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR.
1t is understood that the Virginia Re-
publicans have impressed Mr.. Roosevelt
with the believe that there is an excellent
chance to elect Republican Governor
next fall. The President is said to have
expressed his interest in their assurances
that this could be done, and TO have said
he depended on them to accomplish it.
1t is learned that the Republicans Of the
State have only one candidate in mind to
lead them to victory and that is Judge
Lunsford l.. Lewie. 1t is believed there
will be little or no opposition to his nomi-

from Che Foo today that nearly all Of

other home stations to be overhauled and
fitted for the work of meeting Rojestven-

Admiral Togo himself has gone home, but
it is believed here that he is now on his
way to Japan. leaving in the hands of a
subordinate, the blockade, which, Russian
ships, is merely matter of keeping sup
plies from reaching the beleaguered fort
ress.
The heavy siege guns of the Japanese
now that they have accomplished the pur-
pose of destroying the Russian warshlps,
have been turned against the town and the
forts still occupied by the Russians and a
continuous bombardment has been kept
up for the past few days. So far as can
be learned, however, there has been no
considerable infantry movement recently.
SEND FLEET TO EUROPE
The lull in news of actual fighting from
the Far East has turned the attention Of
war experts here 10 the next phase Of the
campaign. 1t has come to be generally
believed that there will be no further SER
ious fighting, except at Port Arthur, per-
haps, until the spring. The position OF
the two armies at Mukden and the de-
velopments of the past two days seem to
indicate that the respective commanders
have abandoned the idea of winter cam
paign, if indeed they eyer seriously en-
tertained it. The concensus OF opinion
among experts is that the campaign Of
1905 will begin as did that of 1904, with
an important naval engagement. II

Washington, D. c., Dec. 17.-President
Roosevelt has decided on somewhat
novel method of deciding questions aris-
ing as to the distribution OF Federal pat
ronage in Virginia, but one which puts it
in the hands of Representative Slemp and
his friends. There was a conference a.

MIR. T. L. Moore, attorney for the Western
District of Virginia; Judge Lunsford l..
Lewis, attorney for the Eastern District;
John Blair. of Wytheville, and one or
two others. At this conference the Presi-
dent said in plainest language that he
proposed to allow the patronage to be dis
tributed to and by the men who accom-
plished things for the Republican party in
Virgins, and that he was tired of the con-
tinual squabbling over the matr r.

BRAND-NEN EAGLE
FOR WHITE HOUSE
New Bird Will Soon Be Perched
Oh Top of the Flagstaff.

a new gilded eagle will stretch it's
protecting wings over the White House
al an early date
The new bird Will be finer and larger
than the old eagle that has perched for
so many years on the fiagstaff over the
main entrance. What is more to the
point il viii be more securely fastened.
oddly enough there has been no eagle
over the White House since President
ROOsevelt's election. The flagstaff
ornament was blown OF by a high wind
on the day previous. II was replaced
quickly. but the next day the same
thing happened again
No one about the White House is af-
fected with superstitious IDEAS, but the
recurrence of this incident naturally
suggested TO the officials in charge of
the Presidents house that something
was wrong with the bird, and IT was
decided to replace it with a brand-new
one.
The figure is about one foot across
the wings. and is of the usual type as
exhibited on Government buildings
