Between $4,000 and 10000 Jews

sacres on the bureaucracy and the rough
element of the towns where the murders
were committed, are unsatisfactory.
The whole Russian nation must shout.
der the responsibility, because public
sentiment favored these massacres or al
least regarded them with indifference.
Every one in Russia regards the Jews
as legitimate prey. When the full re-
ports are available it will be shown that
between 80, and 10000 Jews Rave
killed or injured, while there has not
been a voice in all Russia raised in pro-
test, and not an authoritative word said
in condemnation of these massacres.
This is even more horrible than the mas
sacres themselves, for it really presents
doubts as to whether the Russian people
can successfully run their own govern
ment. Certainly the Jews cannot hope
to gain freedom under a liberal Rus
sian government unless they fight for
it just as the liberals are fighting the
autOcracy for their own liberty"

France and Venezuela.

Paris, Nov. 6.-The answer given by
President Castro of Venezuela in the
dispute with the French government,
which was delivered in note to United
States Minister Russell, who is in
charge of the matter, has not given sat
isfaction here. Venezuela expressed its
willingness to withdraw its note con-
corning NJ. Taigny, the French charge
d'sffaires at Caracas, if the French
government likewise would recall its re-
quest that Venezuela withdraw that part
of its note which gave notice that Vene-
zuela would not treat further with NJ.
Taigny until he apologized for his state
ment that the French cable company
should be treated unjustly. The gov
eminent considers that the settlement of
the question has not been advanced
through this note, but the negotiations
will continue as the tone of the message
is more courteous than has previously
been employed, and France does not
wish to resort to coercion while any
hope of amicable settlement remains.
The withdrawal of President Castro 5
original note is still deemed necessary as
well as that full justice shall be done
the French cable company.

THE POLITICAL campaign in Virgins

The POLITICAL campaign IN virginia
closes tonight, and the last act in the
drama will be the casting of ballots to
morrow when the voice of the people
will indicate who are to be heads ofaffairs
in the Old Dominion during the next
four wears. That The democratic ticket,
headed by Messrs. Swanson and Ely
son, will have another walk-over is a
forgOne conclusion. While the cam
paign has been at times spirited, prob
ably there never was a canvass con-
Quoted on more fimsy grounds than that
upon which the opponents OF the demo-
cratic party have been posing. They
have taken up the record Of the powers
that be. have examined it from every
standpoint and have virtually found
nothing upon whirh they could base an
issue. Some of their champions have
attempted to magnify mole hills into
mountains, but democratic orators have
brushed them away as chaff and held
the republican platform up to just
ridiclue. The advocates OF Judge Lewis
for Governor have labored under a hallu-
oination that the Old Dominion, from a
national standpoint, would shine forth
as the noon day sun we're he placed in
the gubernatorial chair, and have prated
much about Virginia taking her place in
the march Of progress of the twentieth
century. The fact should be apparent
to all that Virginia since she shook OIL
the political menageries of by-gone
years has forged ahead wonderfully, and
her record during the past two decades
is clean and bright, while prosperity has
followed in the wake of honest govern
ment and the substantial conditions
which have brought confidence in those
AT the helm of the Old Dominion. 1t is
hoped that every democrat will cast his
vote and that present condition be in no
wise disturbed.

King Alfonso in Berlin.

Berlin, Nov. 6.-King Alfonso, of
Spain, arrived here this afternoon, on a
visit to the German emperor. This is
his first formal visit since his accession
to the Spanish throne, and he was re-
ceived with great pomp and ceremony.
A determined effort will now be made
to detach Spain from England and
France and to gain Spanish support for
Germany. The personal element plays
a great part 10 international European
politics, and the striking personality of
the Kaiser counts for great deal. The
Kaiser will exert all his personal fasci-
nation in order to gain the sympathies
OF King Alfonso and thereby influence
the foreign policy of Spain in a direr-
ton favorable to Germany. The de-
yelOpment of events will show whether
the Kaiser meets with success, or wheth-
err King Alfonso will remain proof
against the personal allurements of the
elder monarch.

Correspondence Of the Alexandra Oazette.J
Washington. ID. c.. Nov. 4.
Oscar Straus, of New York, called
upon the President this morning to con-
suit with him as to whether there was
anv possibility of action which would re.
suit in a mitigation of the horrors con-
nected with the massacre of the Jews in
Russia. The President stated that he
had been watching with the deepest con-
Germ the reports of these massacres and
that he had been appealed to within the
last few weeks to try 'take some action,
not only on behalf of the Jews in Rus
STA. but on behalf of the Americans,
Poles and Firms. The President does
net see that any action can be taken by
this government at present that would
be of any benefit to the sufferers for
whom he feels the keenest sympathy.
Her foot slipping as she stepped into
one Of the elevators of the State, War
and Navy Department building this
morning, Miss Margaret Mcllvaine, a
char woman, was almost instantly kill
ed. Her head was caught between the
ascending cab and the top of the door.
No blame is attached to the operator.
The authorities are making thorough
investigation to ascertain whether the
elevator was in proper order.
Senator Cullom of Illinois, chairman
of the foreign relations committee Of the
Senate, called on the President this
morning to lodge complaint against the
Cuban government for not keeping its
promise to maintain the city Of Havana
IN a sanitary condition. He said that
he had been informed by number Of
business men that the Cubans have built
no sewerage system since the American
evacuation and the American residents
of the city fear that yellow fever cpl
demlc will be the consequence.
Arguments were delivered today in
the u. 5. Supreme Court by counsel for
Mrs. Mary Mabel Rogers, convicted in
Burlington county, Vermont, for the
murder of her husband. Mrs. Rogers
lawyers urged a reversal of the ruling by
the United States district court of Yer
mont, denying a writ of habeas corpus,
on the ground that the woman is sub
iected to solitary confinement and de-
priyed Of her liberty in Vermont without
statutory authority and without a SEN
lence of the court directing such pun
ishment. 1t was further argued that the
Supreme Court of Vermont, having taken
jurisdiction OF trial, had failed to COM
ply with the law in respect to or
dering stay and in fixing new
date for the execution OF Mrs. Rogers.
The subsequent action of the governor
in fixing the execution for December, s,
1905, the lawyers asserted, was not sup
ported by any law and consequently such
execution will be without due process Of
law. 1t was further alleged that the
governor had set the date, while hsbeas
corpus proceedings we're pending in feder-
al courts and itwss argued that the gov
ernor's action is consequently null aud
void. Under the argument against soil
tary confinement, Mrs. Rogers counsel
showed that the Vermont statute limits
the term to three months proceeding ex-
ecution. Mrs. Rogers had been 10 soli-

THE ELECTION TOMORROW

Especial Dispatch to the Alexandria Gszette.l
Richmond. Nov. g. There has never been
a more quiet State election held in Virginia
than the one to come of tomorrow, unless all
signs fail. The smallest amount Of interest
prevails here. and it is believed difficulty will
be experienced in getting the vote out. The
democrats have nothing to fear but apathy
anywhere. except in the Ninth district, but
they are not sure of full vote in eastern
Virginia. The final claims of party mana
gers place swanson's majority at $4,000 and
give the democrats safe control of both
branches Of the Legislature.

Female Coxey Army,

London, Nov. Six thousand women re-
cruited from the slums of London are prepar-
ing to march through the city this afternoon
to Whitehall. where deputation of eighteen
from their number will be received by
Premier Balfour in the local government
building, and present demand for immediate
relief by the government for the starving
poor. The arrival Of col weather has re-
duced the thousands of persons out of work
TO pitiful plight. The women will ask that
the government extend material aid TO such
sufferers. Following its meeting with Mr..
Balfour, the deputation will return and make
a report as to what he says to the female
army.
Mrs. Carey, one of the delegation, declared
that unless something is done to relieve the
distress of the starving people there will he

the building talking with Premier Balfour
the marchers waited outside and sang the
Marseillaise and jeered at the clerks in the
government offices who crowded the windows
to look at the multitude Of women in the
streets.
After leaving the building where Mr.. Bal

CHICAGO ministers and pulpit orators
are soon to see themselves as other peO-
ple see them. Five critics who consider
Themselves able to appreciate the latter
dav sermon, are to visit as many churches
one Sunday each month, listen, take
notes, and eventually report to an aud
fence iu the Grand Opera House what
they think of the discourses. This is to
be called a gospel clearing house and is
the scheme of the Spencer Whitman
Center, which has engaged a downtown
theater for each Sunday morning. The
center will start its church next Sunday
morning with lecture by Hugh
Q. Pentecost, of New York city.
Should this movement spread to all cities
the clergy will find Goals upon their
backs when they realize that their dis
courses are to be subjected to impartial
criticism. 1t will doubtless result in
mach good, as under present condi-
tions few care to take open issue with
gentlemen of the cloth, and the latter
will become more studious and endeavor
to make their discourses as interesting
as possible to their hearers.
