FUTURE LOOKS GOOD TO THEM.
Virginia Republicans Foresee Large
Accessions to Their Ranks.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NORFOLK, Va, November 10.-Repre-
sentative democrats predict here today that
the great republican victory Of Tuesday,
with a vast reduction in Virginia's usual
democratic majority, means that the repub-
licans of Virginia are to have many Access
sions to their party in the near future. CIV
ing the democrats of the state healthy
opposition, and possibly putting Virginia
very near If not in the doubtful column in
future elections. Democrats say something
like this is needed to give their party new
life and arouse it to real activity.
Late returns from the second Virginia
district are very discouraging to the office
holding republicans, who deplore the re-
election of Representative Semp. repub-
lican. and his advent as the distributor OF
federal patronage in Virginia.
The antf-Slempites have made the poorest
showing In years regarding the number of
votes polled in the sections for the repub-
lican ticket. and their representation will be
so completely cut down that Slemp will
capture all the republican machinery and
organization with hands down in the next
state convention.

Russia Wants to Fight On.

ST. PETERSBURG. November 10,-In Of
fetal circles Lord Lansdowne's yelled s,e-
gestion that the Russo-Japanese conflict
might be settled by arbitration finds an un.
favorable echo. The sentiment prevails
stronger than ever that Russia.s prestige
must be indicated before the idea of peace
can be entertained. --eS
The mere fact that the suggestion comes
from Great Britain's foreign secretary does
not tend to its kindly receptions here. The
firm conviction is expressed that Lord
Transformers suggestion could not have
been the result of an understanding he
tween the British and French governments
it being stated that the Russian view Of
the situation is too well known to her ally
to make 1t possible that she could have
been privy to such move. The general
opinion il that Lord Transformers sugees-
ton was in the nature ola personal trial

THE IRON INDUSTRY.
Statistics for the Month Of October In
teresting.

NEW YORK, November 10.-Blast fur
mace statistics for the month are interest
ing. says the Iron Age, as showing that
consumption has further developed during
October, since 1t absorbed an increased out
put, and in addition thereto, drew upon
stocks to a moderate extent. The produc-
ton has risen to 1,44S,973 gross tons for
October, for thirty-one days, compared
with 1,352677 for September, for thirty
days The steel companies made 971. AT
tons in October, against 936 494 tons In
September. a modest increase. The mer-
chant furnaces, however, have gone from
4161S3 tons in September to ATT. 526 tons In
October. Taking into account the decline
in stocks. the consumption Of metal pro-
duced by the merchant furnaces has grown
from 1904 tons in August to 491 ,537 tons
In September and sos, $40 tons In October.
In connection with the returns of the
stocks of the merchant furnaces 1t Is q
notable fact that the southern group shows
a slight gain. having 1872, 284 tons on Novem-
Der 1, as compared with 10000 tons on
October 1. This is due to the fact that
some furnace companies have evidently
been holding back in selling product, while
others have drawn quite heavily on their
yards. On November / the stock of pig
iron was J29,O33 tons, as compared with
555,4 AT tons on October 1.
Buying in every line except rails Is on a
large scale, but more especially in pig iron.
merchant pipe. wire, bars. p-ates and
sheets. The demand for tin-plate now
shows an improvement corresponding to
some extent with the movement in other
lines Particularly heavy blocks of Bes-
semer pig iron have been sold in the
trail west some large lots being held for
an advance having been sold for consump-
ton.
A meeting of the billet association Is to
be held in this city next week. Prices con-
tinue to gather strength and premiums are
being paid of 30 cents to 81 ton on billets
and sheet bars. Eastern bar iron makers
are asking premium of 81 ton over their
association prices and western steel max
er has advanced his price on soft steel
bars 81 a ton without regard to other
makers
Sales of rails are confined to small lots
and no large business Is expected until
the price Is fixed for next year. No date
has yet been named for the meeting of the
associated rail manufacturers
The eastern cast iron pipe trade Is i'm
proving materially Large consuming in
terests are arranging to cover their re-
quirements for next season In anticipation
OF higher prices. This Is unusually early.
Old material Is in strong demand and
prices are still advancing at all consuming

CRUSHING VERDICT
SENSATIONAL REPORT ON THE
BLACK SEA FLEET.
Officers Declared TO Be Incompetent
and Indifferent and Ignorant
Of Naval Regulations.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. November 10.-sA cable dis
patch from London says: A special from
st. Petersburg says: The latest proof OF
the demoralizataOn and utter ineMMency OF
the Russian navy is contained in the SEN
satfonal report drawn up by Admiral Tchu-
chin. commanding the Black sea feet, with
reference to the recent naval maneuvers
held under his supervision. The report has
caused painful sensation in official circles
here
The admirars verdict pronounced on his
own feet is crushing. He found that the
Russian naval officers were entirely without
love for their profession or interest in their
work.
Incompetence prevailed throughout the
fleet. When maneuvering the ships were
unable to maintain their positions. Most
appalling muddles occurred. Sometimes
when the ships of the fleet were supposed
to be in close formation several would be
found to be missing altogether. and cruis-
ers had to be detached to search for them.
Signals from the flagship were either not
understood or purposely disobeyed.
Many officers say the admiral was found
to be devoid of knowledge of the naval reg
ulations.
Admiral Tchuchin mentions several cases
In point. The extraordinary lack Of dis
cipline was illustrated one night during the
maneuVerS Dy the remarkable DenaVIOr OIL
torpedo boat No 273. The feet was steam
ing in company when torpedo boat sud
denly turned and disappeared. The wrath
full admiral dispatched a cruiser to look for
the missing torpedo boat, and after long
search she was found in the harbor OF
Yalta. The lieutenant in command, and
his brother officers as well, declared simply
that they preferred spending the night In
port rather than on the open sea- TWO
other torpedo boats left the feet without
the admiral's permission. and were also
found at Yalta.
They were tired of executing evolutions
at night and the commanders expressed sur.
prise and indignation when they learned
that the admiral was distinctly annoyed.
ON the fifth day of the maneuvers Ad-
miral Tchuchin signaled to the feet to per-
form certain evolutions at speed not to ex-
coed ten knots. Most of the battlesh1ps
were unable to keep up even at that speed,
and could not be handled with sufficient
dexterity to participate in fleet drill. which
proved to be an utter fiasco.
The admiral closes his report by saying
that III the Black sea fleet ever has the
misfortune to face the enemy 1t Will oe
completely wiped out.

sensational murder occurred in this city at
o'clock this morning. when Frederick

renzo Kline in cold blood at the home OF
the former, where Kline was a boarder.
Easton claimed that he found Kline and his
wife together. After the shooting Easton

Kline boarded with the family. He had
been sick for several days, according to the
statement of Mrs. Easton and several Of
the boarders.
Mrs. Easton stated that early this morn
ing Kline called her to his room to admin
lister some tablets, and, afterward, feeling
drowsy, she reclined on the bed and fell
asleep Her husband. who occupied front
room, on awakening and failing to find his
wife in bed. went to Kline's room and
found the two asleep.
Borrowed Pistol to Kill
He went out Of the house quietly and
crossed the street to the brewery, and asked
William Andrews, the fireman, to lend him
his pistol saying he wanted the weapon to
shoot a>mad dog. Securing the pistol. he
went back to the house, and, entering the
room occupied by Kline and his wife, ad-
vanced to the bed, and, leaning over his
wife. shot Kline in the left side Of the head.
The bullet entered above the left temple
and passed through Kline's head being i'm
bedded in the right side of his skull. which
was fractured. The bullet afterward was
removed by physicians.
Mrs. Easton was aroused by the report
of the pistol. and jumped up and ran from
the room. Easton did not attempt to at
tack his wife. and made no remark to her.
Did Not Harm Wife.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
HAGERSTOWN, Md. November TO-
Easton made no attempt to harm or fol-
low his wife. Instead he coolly left the
house and returned the revolver to its
owner. His only remark was that he had
shot him, but that 1t was not a mad dog.
Further than to state that he had shot
Kline Easton declined TO discuss the matter
with the officers. Later he claimed his
home had been broken up, by Kline.
The latter expired half an hour after the
shooting without having, regained con-
seriousness.
Kline was an expert machinist, employed
In the testing Departmental a local factory
building gasoline enginesb He was thirty
two years old. Easton is fifty years old
A jury was summoned and, after hearing
the testimony Of a numbered witnesses the
verdict Of the jury was that Kline came to
his death from pistol wound inflicted by
Easton feloniously and with malice afore-
thought. a-- = ~ -
It is thought that jealous rage actuated
Easton to commit the crime. He was COM
mitted to jail without bond.
