VIRGINIA ELECTION
PRIMARIES TO BE HELD IN OLD
DOMINION.

A primary election will be held in Vir-
ginia tomorrow for the selection of a United
States senator, governor, lieutenant gov
ernor, attorney general and superintendent
of instruction. The campaign preceding
the election has been the warmest ever
known in the state, and the republicans as
well as democrats are watching the out
come closely.
There are two candidates for United
States senator-Thomas S. Martin, to sue
coed himself, and Gov. a. j. Montague. For
governor there are three candidates-Rep-
resentative Claude y. Swanson, State Sen
ator William H. Mann and Joseph E. Will
lard, at present lieutenant governor. For
attorney general the candidates are Will
liam A Anderson, incumbent. and Samuel
w. Williams For lieutenant governor the
candidates are J. Taylor Ellyson, for many
years democratic state chairman of Vir-
ginia, and J. Aston Cabell. For superin-
tendent of public instruction j. d. EggleS-
ton and George H. Hulvey are the candi-
dates.
Among the Virginians in Washington
there is apparently a tendency in favor of
Montague for senator. Swanson or Willard
for governor. EllySon for lieutenant gov
ernor Anderson for attorney general and
Eggleston for superintendent of public in
struction. The proximity of Washington to
Fairfax and I.oudoun counties accounts for
the strong Willard sentiment, Mr.. Willard
being resident of Fairfax county.
Among impartial, observers of the situa-
ton the feeling is that Martin will prob
ably be nominated as senator over Gov.
Montague by pretty good majority. prob
ably in the neighborhood of 1900. and
that Swanson viii be the nominee for gov
ernor. Two months ago there was little
question to Swanson being the foremost
man in the race for governor, but in the
last few weeks there has been a marked
change in favor of Mr.. Mann. who has the
backing of the prohibition sentiment of the
state. There are fears on the part of a
good many of the supporters of Swanson
and Wizard that Swanson may come strong
at the last minute. The republicans sin
cerely hope that Mann will be the NOM
nee, as they believe that will estrange
from the democrats the whisky element of
the state and give them the election in No
vember.
Despite the increased strength of Mann
recently. the belief in well-informed circles
prevails that Swanson will be nominated
for governor, with Mann second and Will
lard third, but 1t is believed that Willard
will poll a good vote. He has made a
splendid canvass, has impressed the people
of the state and stands well with them, es-
pecially as to the future.
j. Taylor Ellyson will have a large ma
jority for lieutenant governor, it is said
and the probabilities to the others are
for Anderson for attorney general and Eg-
gleston for superintendent Of public in
struction.

Sterling said that Mrs. Taggart's petition
is really no crOss-petition, in that it does
not state a cause of action: that no sum
mons had ever been issued on the cross

with perjury. and whereupon. being called
as witness. she answered that she had
lived in Chicago and San Francisco not Civ

DESTRUCTION BY BLUEFISH.
Eat Ten. Thousand Million Fish in a
Single Day.
From Outing Magazine.


1t has been carefully estimated that about
100000 bluefish annually taken along
our coasts. AS all obtainable statements
go to show that not more than one blue
fish in 1000 is ever taken by man, this
would mean 1000, 600, 900 of adult fish.
Allowing the moderate estimate of ten fish
per diem to support each bluefish have
a grand total of 100000, 900 of fish de-
stroyed in single day! 1t is further well
k1.cwn that bluefish haunt our waters for
about 120 days each year, which means
death to at least 200 000, 600 fish during
one season. 1t is quite reasonable to esti-
mate that a bluefsh of five pounds weight
will devour or destroy its own weight of
fish per day, and as this does not include
the tireless ravages of younger bluefish, the
inEumerabie Swarms of which are proper
tionally as busy with the small fry their
elders are with mature fish, the total daily
destruction becomes something almost APP
pallng.
That fish like the one in question has
not been closely followed throughout its
various movements is an interesting fact,
for in truth we appear to know little about
Its habits except from the sporting point
of view. They go their own ways being
sometimes plentiful and again scarce. They
devour almost everything that swims of
suitable size. They are said to grow with
amazing rapidity, attaining length of
from twelve to fifteen inches the second
year. 1t is further said that they increase
in weight from four or five to ten or fifteen
pounds during the few months they are
found along our coast. They have been
found in the Malay archipelago, Australia,
at the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, NADIA
gascar In the Mediterranean, at Malta,
Alexandra, the Syrian coast and about the
Canaries. They have never been reported
from the Atlantic coast of Europe, nor the
waters of the Bermudas or any of the
western islands. On our coast they range
from Central Brazil and the Guianas
through the Gulf of Mexico and north to
Nova Scotia, though never seen in the Bay
of Fundy. Just where they spawn seems
to be an open question. They vary greatly
in size, the extreme weight probably being
between fifteen and twenty pounds. Like
the trout, a bluefish measuring fourteen
inches weighs about pound. A two-pound-
err would measure about seventeen inches;
three pounds, twenty-six inches; six pounds
a trifie more. Larger fish than these are
seldom taken by amateurs, although an oc-
casional 'tide-runner" may greatly exceed
the usual limit
