Jews and Russian Loan.

Discussing in the Jewish Chronicle of
London NJ. Whites interview with the
Jewish bankers at Portsmouth, Stuart
Montagu Samuel, NJ. p, nephew of Sir
Samuel Montagu, the banker, says:
"The Jewish bankers undoubtedly
have lost large sums of money by their
refusal to participate in the recent fnan-
cial operations of the Russian Govern
ment, but no mere consideration of per
sOnal profit weighs with them. The fact
is they refuse to have anything to do
with a government that persecutes their
co-religionists on account of their re-
ligion."
Mr. Samuel says that he was much
impressed with NJ. Witte, whom he iu-
terviewed in st. Petersburg, and con-
cludes:
81 am not without hope that the po-
sition taken by the Jewish banking
houses here and in America may not be.

reported that Alfonso was suffering from
phthisis and showed signs OF insanity.
Acting upon this report, King Edward
broke of tie negotiations for the mar
rage.

consequences

An ARTICLE in another column, taken
from the Lexington News, shows that
Governor Montague did not appeal to
most voters in that portion of Virginia
during his recent crusade, and that
Alexandria was not the only place
where the would-be Senator failed to i'm
press the people with "his peculiar tit
ness" for the seat in the United States
Senate now so ably filled by Thomas 5.
Martin. The criticism of the paper re-
ferred to is doubtless just. The main
song the people of Virginia have
heard is the strange assumption that
the Governor is a superior man to the
Junior Senator. 1t made many laugh at
tbs outset and the dream has been dissi-
pated wherever Mr.. Martin has aP-
peared, as such assumption has succeeded
in bringing out the atter's true worth.
This fact is recognized more than
ever before, as the article else
where in the Gazette, taken from
the Petersburg Index-Appeal, shows.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1905-08-19

If THE President has decided, as re-
ported from Oyster Bay, to send Edwin
II. Conger, of Iowa, back to China as
special commissioner to smooth out the
boycott troubles, Mr.. COnger will have
the laugh on lows Senators, who refus-
ell to help him in his fight for retention
as an Ambassador to Mexico, and also
ON the State Department, while officials
have been trying for a couple Of years to
secure his retirement from the diplomatic
service. Mr.. Conger's return to China
would also be a serions reflection on his
successor at Picking, Minister ROckhill,
and might lead to the retirement of that
official, who has been special pet the
State Department.

The Candidates Claims.

Especial Dispatch to the Alexandria Gazette.]
Richmond, Aug. I9.-With the cam
paign practically over, all the candidates
for Senator and Governor are claiming
the State with apparent confidence.
Gov. Montague claims 20, 600 major
ity and 20 counties. Senator Martins
claim is even higher and his friends say
he is sure of victory.
Messrs. Swanson, Willard and Mann
all claim the State, but they are chary
about making figures.
While there is an air OF confidence
about the various headquarters, it Is
mixed with some uneasiness and no can
didate seems absolutely sure OF the
result.

THE DATE of the primary election is
drawing nigh and but few will regret
when it has passed. For some months
politics has absorbed considerable atten-
ton and when It'll realized that after the
primary nearly three months will elapse
before the general election, many people
become weary of political talk. 1t isl true
that the democratic nominations are
equivalent to election, but the talk and
discussion will go on and this grows tire

yesterday, has fighting chance for life.
This is the statement given out this

Tapgart Charges Dismissed

Wooster, o., Aug. 19.-Judge Eason
today. in the Taggarl divorce trial, dis
missed Captain Taggart's charges i'm
plicating Lieutenant Rietser and Clinton
Spencer, business man of Chicago.
This was on motion of Mrs. Taggarfs
attorneys. He refused to dismiss the
complaint against Col. Miner, Lieuten-
ant Fortescue, Captain Davis and
BILLY" Taggart. The deposition OF
Captain Louis Bass, who is accused by
Augustine de la Cruze and Taggart with
indiscretions at Manila, was read today.
He says:
81 first met Captain Taggart in 1897,
and Mrs. Taggart first in Manila on July
/, 1901. | knew neither intimately. !
knew Mrs. Taggart simply as the wife Of
a brother officer. AS nearly as | can
recollect, I called at the Taggart house
but four times during their stay in Manila
When | first met Captain Taggart
in Manila, he asked me to call and |
called afterwards as a matter OF courtesy.
There was no intimacy between me and
Mrs. Taggart, and none would have
been possible. | never saw her alone,
under circumstances that would make
any condolences or intimacy possible.
/ never witnessed any indiscretion on
the part of Mrs. Taggart and never
heard OF any"
Denying directly the affidavit Of de
Ia Cruz, Bass declared it was false in
every detail. On cross examination
Bass denied be ever played poker for
money with Mrs. Taggart, and denied
that she ever visited him at his quarters.

Drys Win az Asbury Park.

In an informal election yesterday the
residents of Asbury Park by vote Of
400 to 4Ol decided against the PROPOSE
ton to issue licenses to hotels to sell
liquor As the election was taken only
to ascertain the popular sentiment on
the liquor question the result is not bind
ing on the Common Council, which, it
is believed, will proceed to pass an ordi-
nation creating a license commission.
The matter of determining the legality
of selling liquor in the city will thus be
left TO the courts.

senator Martins Speech.

Senator Martin last night addressed
the largest political meeting that has
gathered at the Academy of Music since
the days of readjustment, and it is no
exaggeraiion to say that his speech was
incomparably the best that has been
heard there during the present campaign,
and one of the best that has ever been
delivered in that building which has re-
sounded to the oratory in the past of
Virginia's ablest and most distinguished
speakers. The speech was calm, digni-
fed, logical and argumentative, plenti-
fully interpreted with genial humOr
and biting sarcasm, but in no in
stance did it transgress the bounds
of parliamentary courtesy or de
scend to the level of offensive per-
sonalities. If any one in that vast audi
ence, composed of the finest examples of
the refinement and intelligence of this
community, ever labored under the error
that Senator Martin was not capable Of
clear, logical and eloquent speech, surely
such person is now thoroughly disabused
of his error. Whatever credit may be
due to Nj. Montague for having intro
duced Mr.. Martin to the people Of Vir-
ginia as popular orator, there can be
no doubt of the fact that he has much
reason to regret the introduction, and the
people have more reason to thank him
for having discovered to them one of the
best popular speakers in the State, if not
the very best. The ovation given Sena-
tor Martin here yesterday was one that
any man in the United States might be
proud f. Petersburg Index Appeal

the numerous safety devices now used on
