Order Restored.

London, Sept. "a private dispatch
received today from Toxic says that
order has been completely restore ed there
and that conditions are rapidly becom-
ing normal.
Toxic, Sept. 9.-The announcement
has been made from Portsmouth that one
of the peace terms agreed to by Japan
and Russia is that japan will not fortity
La Perouse straits, but from a statement
made by Count Katsura, the Japanese
premier, in addressing an important po-
litical gathering yesterday, it appears
that this is not so. Count Katsura i'm
piled in his address that while Japan
has agreed to keep this strait free, she
has not entered into an agreement not to
fortify it. This announcement, coupled
with the assurance which has been given
the people that Japan has attained a
rree hand in Korea has had good inhu-
ence in calming the people which has
been aroused by the unfavorable char
acter of the peace terms from the Jap
anese point-of view.

SATURDAY EVENING. SEP. 9. 1905

SOME democrats anticipated, and most
ever republican hoped, that the vote cast
in the State democratic primary on the
22nd utimo would fall much below that
given Judge Parker last November. In
deed few days after the primary some
one announced, and it was industriously
Published as news by the republican
press, that the vote was not what was
anticipated by the democratic leaders.
The vote has been canvaseds and to the
surprise of the enemy, and to the graft
fication of the democrats, the vote for
Governor was SO, l61, fully $500 more
than was cast for Parker last November,
when he led the trough rider" by 3D.
900. Not one of the prediction pre-
dictions of Colonel Slemp's party have
materiaized. They boldly asserted that
the vote for Governor would be far
in excess of that for Senator, as many
republicans would vote in the primary
in order to nominate Judge Mann. 1t
is hoped some good republicans idpartic-
ipate, as they can be relied upon to Of
set the votes of some disgruntled demo-
Gratis, but the fact remains that the Joint
vote for Martin and Montagueis 81, 1893,
only 1853 less than that cast for Cover
nor. Congressman Slemp may contlnue
to give out his "pipe dream" inter
views to Washington newspapers; his
son. Chairman Bascom Slemp, may in
dulge in claims-brag and buster; Judge
Lewis NAV still continue to be optimistic
and refer to the "purity" OF his party
as a reason for electing him to Office, but
Virginia will godemOcratic next Novem-
Der lust the same. Virginians has not
forgotten the thousand and one crimes
of the republican party, chief among
which are the theft of one presidency
and the purchase of at least two.

CHAIRMAN ELLYsON, of the State
democratic committee, enters the contest
with confidence, and expects to win a
splendid victory next November. There
will be no sulking on the part of any of
the leaders, whether they aspired to Of
flee in the recent primary and were unsuc-
cessful, or whether they won the honors
thew sought. Senator Martin announces
that he will take The stump actively for
the ticket, and Senator Daniel is also
ready for the fray. Governor Montague
has rendered his services to Mr.. Ellyson
and will enter actively into the fight on
the stump for the nominees of his party.
Judge Mann and Capt. Willard will do
likewise.

PROFESSOR ELI METCHNIKoFF, dis
tinguished Russian scientist, writes in
McClure's that he has discovered a
method for lengthening the period OF
human life so that man so years old
will be only at middle age. His theory
is that the physical evidence of age is a
disease resulting from the ravages OF GER
lain forms of bacteria. He has discov-
cred that the white corpuscles OF the
blood constitute ''the army of defense OF
the body polite" These tiny cells rush
to any wounded part of the body to alb
sorb the foreign matter and to carry on
the healing process. The article sets
forth that the microbe which causes
milk to turn sour is the most efficient
enemy of bodily decline. He notes that
the Bulgarian mOuntaineers, who are
famous for their longevity, consume great
quantities of sour milk. Therefore, he
suggests the eating of milk curds as a
IN cans of lengtheninglife. One merit of
the professor theory is that the diet pre-
scribed is cheap and can do no harm If it
does not prOlong life.

THE Board of Consulting Engineers of
the Panama canal III session in Wash
ington, yesterday adopted that location
of the canal marked by the official maps
of the commission and known as the
French location, as the basis for the de-
tailed discussion of its structure, which
is to follow. This shows that the
Americans can make no improvement oil
the line surveyed by the French for the
canal. 1t is a great pity that the French
were not allowed to build it.

ever, the policy holders pay all the loss

New York, Sept. 9.-What the police
believe may lead to murder was the
finding on University Place this morning
of two human hands. They were cover
ed with dirt and from all appearances
had been cut from a body not many
hours previous. An examination of the
hands showed them to have been those
of man, as they were large and callous,
and had evidently belonged to some one
engaged in hard labor. The fingers of
one of the hands had been amputated,
evidently with sharp knife, and the
fingers OF the other hand had been mutt
lated.
