In HIS Confederate Memorial Day adj
dress in this city on Wednesday Majol
Holmes Conrad said:
No Yankee ideas have taken root in
this seetiea, except one which Is TO he

of Il. NJ. r. Hunter and James NJ.
Mason had they been seen going about
the State begging people to vote for
them as candidates for the United States
Senate? This is a degrading innOva-
ton from another section that should be
eliminated.
Over two years ago Senator Martin,
while on visit to friends in this city
and in conversation with the writer OF
this paragraph, gave utterauce to the
same sentiment. He said if the demo-
cratic State committee ordered a primary
election for u. s. Senator and the peo-
ple wanted a primary he would not OPP
pose it. but he believed such an cleo
ton would lower the dignity of the posi-
ton and the idea of men who were can
didates for this high Office being com
PEELED TO go about the State making
speeches and soliciting votes was very
distasteiul to him. "But," he added,
'this will come under the primary
plan"

FRIDAY EVENING. MAY 90, 1905.

Ir Il BELIEVED that ground
unon which to frame railroad rate max
ing bill has at last been reached between
tbe railroad interests and the interstate
Commerce Commission. A compromise
pIan is in process of development. The
matter is now in the hands Of the mem
hers of the commission. 1t is thought
their view will be embodied in bill to
be presented to the Senate committee on
interstate commerce within few weeks.
The only question isas to the exact scope
of the proposed rate making power The
railroad interests and their friends III
Congress will never submit to the enact
meni of legislation that will give the
commission the power TO initiate rate.
The President and the membersof the
Commission will not be satisfied with
less power than that Of permitting the
affective declaration of a just aud rea-
s,nable rate where a challenged rate has
been held to be unjust and unreasonable.
If the railroad rate advocates will accept
legislation that, while giving to the
Commission the rate making power,
will vet clothe it about with such limi-
tations as will afford the railroad reas-
enable time in which to invoke a legal
remedy before declared rate may be-
come effective, it is,believed by Senators,
who are known as warm defenders of the
RAILWAYS. that the solution of the prob
lem will have been solved, and that the
necessity for an extra session of Con-
gress in October will have been
obyiated. This attitude of COM
promise has been brought about by the
recent denunciation by the members of
the Interstate Commerce Commission OF
the alleged unfair position taken by the
railway Interests before the senate COIL
mittee. The presentation of the COM
mission side of the case supported by the
production of evidence in cOntroverted
cases has brought some wavering mem
bers OF the Senate committee to realiza-
ton that whatever abuses exist al present
is due to the inaffsctiveness of the Inter
state Commerce law. After the testl-
mony has been briefed, the Senate COM
mitlee will set about the formulation Ola
bill to meet the growing demands for
further railroad regulation. The mem
bers are unit in declaring that the pri-
vate car. terminals and elevators shall be
included within the new interstate com
meree regulations.

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The State Board of Education adjourn
ed in Richmond yesterday afternoon
without reaching a conclusion in the
school register investigation, but re-
ferred the further investigation to a sub
committee, consisting of Attorney Cen
eral Anderson, President Lyon G. Tyler,
Of William and Mary College, and j. I.
West, OF Norfolk.
The investigation has practically
proven the contention, made by j. ID.
Eggleston, who preferred the charges,
that the teachers OF Virginia were made
to pay an exorbitant price for the school
register, and that J. T. Thomas, super
intendent of the Richmond High School,
has violated the State school law by
publishing the book for profit.
1t is generally believed that whether
J. A. McGilyray, assistant secretary OF
the State board, clears bis skirts of all
pecuniary connection with the school
register or not, the affair has greatly
damaged his candidacy for State su-
perintendent of public instruction, and
that Mr. Eggleston, bis opponent, scored
strongly.
In executive session the board elected
the following superintendent:
p. II. Williams, Tazewel county.
d. p. Willis, Fredericksburg.
George b. jenkins, reelected to Greene
county.
Rev. Robb White declining, I. n.
Berry, Madison county.
DIR. I. w. Dew, Spottsylyania county.
The protest against the consolidation
of the city of Winchester aud Frederick
and Clarke counties was considered and a
Encouragement made. Winchester and
Frederick were consolidated, with NJ. NJ.
Lynch as superintendent, and Clarke
kept separate, with c. G.. Massey, as
superintendent.

Disorders in Warsaw.

Warsaw, May 26.-As the result of
the killing of several policemen during
the recent bomb outrages, and the at
tacks which have been made on such
officials by revolutionists armed With
daggers and revolvers, when the police.
men were caught alone in unfrequented
places, Wholesale designations from the
police force have occurred In resiguing,
the policemen have not hesitated to ex-
plain that they prefer to risk dying of
starvation in case they cannot get other
work, rather than take the chances OF
assassination at the hands of terrorists,
as they believe it means certain death
to continue to hold their positions.
The disorders in the jewish quarter
are being kept up today, making the
third day that the rioting has continued.
Jews of the better class ave determined
to drive out the evil characters who have
brought disgrace on the whole race.
Up till today the crusade has been d.
rected altogether by Jews, but today a
number of Christians have taken a hand
to assist in the publication of the dis
trict in which the riots have occurred.
Many bad characters have given up the
fight and have fled from the city.
Others who refused to leave have been
severely handled. The police continue
to be passive lockers on as the scenes OF
violence are enacted.
This afternoon the disorders began to
take new turn, and the rioting was car
ried outside the Jewish quarter. A gen.
eral crusade against the disOrderly houses
and cafes in all parts of the city WAS
inauguraseG, and disturbances have been
reported from several sections. Many
have been hurt dnring the rioting and
The hospitals are full of wounded.
A new reign of terror has broken out
in the province of Volhynia, where the
Jews recently were the victims of an
armed attack by Christians, and it is
feared that serious trouble will follow.
Two Jews have been killed, according 20
reports received today, and this is likely
to lead to fresh attacks. The people on
both sides are arming themselves and
blood may flow freely. The Jews have
been fearful of new outbreak, and have
planned to unite in their defense. I'm
less orders can be restored at once, street
fighting of a serious nature is almost GER
tain to follow.

Japanese Concentrating on Russian
Left

St. Petersburg, May Pa dispatch
from the front says the japanese are
concentrating on the Russian left. The
japanese have also been active in re-
connotering the Russian positions. la
one recent expedition of this character
the Japanese met Russian force and
lost 27S men who were left in the retreat.
The announcement of the concentration
of the Japanese on the Russian left is
probably the preliminary movement in
the general battle, which it is believed
is sure to come soon. Field Marshal
Oysma has employed the tactics in for
mer battles, of deplOying large force
on one of the TANKS and opening the
attack there. while disposing OF the
troops for the main attack.
While the first fighting will probably
come on the Russian left, this does not
necessarily mean that the main attack
will be aimed al that point, as the move
ment is more likely to be feint to cover
the movement of troops and keep the
Russians busy until Oyama is ready Ia
hurl his legions against what he con-
siders the most vulnerable position.

Costly English Castle.

A dispatch from London says that
William Waldorf Aston is working
wonders at Hever Castle, Kent, which
he purchased recently. 1t is popularity

restoration and surroundings Sc, $50, :
900. He has in his employment there
1000 men. A roadway that hitherto
had passed close to the moat that sur
rounds the old castle has been diverted
to distance that will prevent people
who may use the road from obtaining
the slightest view of the castle For
merly it was one Of the show places.

MARYLAND Democrats.

The Maryland democratic State Gen.
trail committee met in Baltimore yester-
day at the Eutaw House, decided to hold
the State convention no later than Sep
tember 20 and took steps for an ag-
gressive campaign.
The meeting was marked by an at
tendance exceeding that at any former
gathering of the kind held in genera
ton. Party leaders and workers, big
and little, from every county of the
State, as well as from the city, assembled
early at the hotel Long before the ap
pointed hour the lobby and corridors
humored like beehive and space was at
a premium. In the crowd were seen the
faces of many well-known democrats who
have not appeared at committe meet
ing in years. Senator German was the
central figure of the assemblage, and the
room to which he retired upon reaching
the hotel was the Mecca for the other
leaders, with whom he conferred in
reference to the date of the convention
and the text of the resolutions. Diyid-
ing attention with Mr.. German was
Senator Rayner, who was given a warm
reception by the county people and who
said it was the first State committee
meeting he had ever attended. As soon
as Mr. German heard Of his arrival he
sent for him to come to his room, and
the two Senators conferred for while

of the world that she cares to be burden
ed with and she is certainly not looking
for the additional trouble that would
undoubtedly come with the purchase re-
ferred to. A proposition from this
country to buy Saghalien would be in-
