PERTAINING their guests. From the railroad
station the visitors were driven through the
city and shown many points of interest. IN
Guiding the burned district. Mayor II. hay
Timanus received the visitors in his office,
and then the party boarded trolley cars and
went to the bay. On the shore was spread
a crab feast. with crabs enough for small
army. In the big dining room was spread
a long table, and the visitors spent some
time here after they had enjoyed the hard
crabs on the lawn. Some of the western
chiefs enjoyed crabs for the first time, and
Chief Cassada of Elnira declared that they
beat the big spiders that so much talked
OF in Kansas.
Capt. Humphrey, who is looked upon as an
expert crab opener and eater, waited upon
those who knew nothing of the sea food.
and to those who looked with suspicion upon
the crabs he would say: Just remove this
and it is all good to eat; it is sweeter than
cream, and If you make the start you ii not
stop until the last one is gone.
While seated about the table in the dining
room Maj. Howard was frequently referred
to by the speakers, and Chief Cassada pre-
sented his rescuer, Chief Clements, with a
leather medal for bravery. Maj. Sylvester
was highly complimented upon the manner
iii which the chiefs were entertained While
in Washington, and he in turn paid Marshal
Farnan and Capt. Humphrey compliment
for their entertainment of the party. a
vote of thanks was rendered Detective Og-
line for his able assistance rendered the
chiefs while both in Washington and TINS
city. Maj Sylvester and a number OF the
visiting chiefs returned to Washington to-
night.

General of State
Special Correspondence OF The Star.


NORFOLK, Va, May 81, 1905.
Judge Samuel w. Williams of Wythe-
vile. asprant for the democratic nominal
ton for attorney general of Virginia !n the
coming state primary, Is here in the inter
est of his candidacy, having arrived from
Richmond last night, and is now meeting
many old and new friends in this section
of Virginia. He is stopping at the Month
cello Hotel After n few days in Norfolk
the Judge will go to Virginia Beach for
brief rest. leaving there in time TO reach
Isle of Wight court house on May 80 upon
which date he will make an address on the
occasion of the unwilling Of monument
erected by the surviving confederates of
Isle of Wight county to the memory of
their dead comrades.
Judge Williams, who is one of the lead
ing democrats of southwestern Virginia, IS
not unknown in this part of the state, hay
ing been a candidate for the office he now
seeks before the state nominating conven-
ton which met in Norfolk four years ago,
and being remembered in this city particu-
larly by the gracious speech he made in
Convention Hail. piedSing his hearty and
full support to the state ticket which had
lust been nominal ted, and particularly to
Mai. Anderson, the present attorney gen.
eral who had just defeated Judge Williams
and others for the nomination for attorney
general, and who is now the judges only
opponent for the same office in the August
primary.
Judge Williams is the only candidate for
state office from the great southwestern
section of the state, and the southwest is
claiming that the other democrats of the
state should this year give it representation
on the party ticket in November and in the
incoming administration by nominating and
eecting its candidate for the attorney gen
eralship.
1t is pointed out by the party leaders from
the southwest that the ninth district,
though now represented by a republican
congressman, cast more democratic votes
than any other district in the state in the
last congressional election, its democratic
vote being over II 500, with the second con-
gressional district next, with vote of over
10000.
