Montague After Senatorship.

A dispatch from Richmond Va. last
night says: Gov. Montague tonight au-
thorized the statement that he will be a
candidate for senator next year to succeed
Senator Thomas s. Martin, and all indica-
lions are pointing to very lively contest
between the two distinguished leaders.
II do not object to your saying that /
will be a candidate" said the governor.
My name will certainly be submitted to
the primary next year"
When asked for statement of the
issues Of the struggle, the governor added
II think nothing should now be said to dis
tract attention from the presidential cam
paign, which should engage the united eff
forts OF the party. Indeed, / should not
have said this much, save to answer great
many inquiries as to whether l would be a
candidate. but at the proper time my views
will be placed before all the democratic
people OF Virginia In as thorough a manner
as know how to do It,"
The governor laid emphasis on the last
sentence indicating that he will wage a
campaign that will be memorable In the
political history OF the state.

DAVIS AT WORK ON LETTER.
Finishing Touches to Be Made Today
German Aids

A dispatch from New York last night
says: Former Senator Henry G. Davis today
completed the first draft of his letter ac-
cepting the democratic nomination for the
vice presidency. Mr. Davis came to New
York to confer with the leaders Of his party
regarding this document, and Senator Cor
man of Maryland, who arrived here last
night, came on the same errand Both are
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel and work on the
letter progressed rapidly after their ar
rival. No callers were allowed to disturb
the task, although Chairman Taggart of
the national committee. Chairman Sheehan
of the executive committee and former Sen
ator c. A. Towne were consulted regarding
the document.
The draft of the letter completed today
will be revised tomorrow and the final
touches added Thursday, when Mr. Davis

letter will not be made public until after
the formal acceptance of Judge Parker has

Seth Likely to Be Nominated.

A dispatch from Ocean City, Md. last
night says: The democratic congressional
convention of the first district will recon-
vene here tomorrow to nominate a candt-
date to fill the vacancy caused by the de-
clination of former Gov. E. E. Jackson who
was unanimously nominated at the first
meeting of the convention on August 10.
The best advance tips that can be secured
indicate the nomination of Gen. Joseph B.
Seth of Talbot county. General Seth Is
known as a close friend of former Governor
Jackson, and his nomination will be re-
garded as a concession to the Wicomico
county leader. Former State Senator Thos.
A. Smith of Caroline county is the only
other avowed candidate, and even he is
now only regarded as in a receptive mood

IMPROVEMENT OF COLON.
It Will Be an Engineering Feat OF
Magnitude.


Chief Sanitary Officer Gorgas of the
Panama strip has made report to the
public health and marine hospital service
IN which he says that the census Of Colon,
now being computed, will show popula-
tion of from 1900 to 5000. The popula-
ton is steadily increasing, due to the ar
rivals of Jamaican and other West In
dian negroes on every steamer from ia
maica and the South and Central Ameri-
can coast.
The report says that these immigrants
are allured to the Isthmus of Panama by
the prospect of work on the canal. and
sounds note of warning that 1t will be
vear or more before any large number Of
Iaborers will be needed. The newcomers
are found to be easy victims OF malarial
fever.
The report says that the permanent i'm
provement Of Colon will be an engineer
ing feat of some magnitude: that at this
season the greater part of the town Is
morass 'to which is added the accumula-
ton Of rubbish and filth Of a population
utterly Indifferent to ordinary cleanli-
ness" Some sections of the town, accord
ing to competent engineers, would have
to be filled ten feet to bring the level to
only three feet above tidewater.
The better part Of the town, except the
railroad property along the water front,
Is oficially pronounced bad enough, with
the back yards under water, the pools of
stagnant slime under the floors of even
the best buildings, and the filthy cess
pools, but those sections where the ma
jority of the negro and native laborers
live. in miserable shacks built on stills
above the swamp. defy description" The
report refers to the crusade against the
mosquito on the isthmus, and adds:
II have been informed that one of the
worst localities Is Culebra, where the
actual work of excavating is going on,
and that malarial fever Is particularly
prevalent among the laborers there. Here
the larvae are found in all the pools and
puddles on the terraces in the cut. a very
significant fact when the amount of ex-
cavating to be done is considered"
