Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette. ]
Washington, Sept. 20.
Secretary of War Taft has requested
that additional war vessels with as many
marines as possible he sent to Cuba with
out delay. A telegram was received by
the Navy Department today from the
President at Oyster Bay in which the
department was ordered to send to Cubs,
az soon IS possible, all of the marines
aboard the battleships OF the North AT
!sntic fleet, a total of $50 men. six
hundred more marines, who will be
taken from the naval stations on the
Atlantic coast, will follow within few
DAYS. 1t is evident that Secretary Taft
considers the situation 10 Cuba rather
worse than better. While no definite
details OF the contents of his dispatch to
Oyster Bay could be obtained at either
the State or the Navy Departments
today, it WAS learned that It's gen
eral tone was decidedly pessimistic.
Ii is even intimated that Mr.. Taft has
warned the President that his peace mis-
sion is liable to fail aud has requested
that immediate preparations be made Tor
an armed Intervention by the United
States. The President has sent orders
to the Navy Department to rush sail
ors and marines to Cuba. 1t may
be necessary to order to Cuban waters
some of the large battleships. 1t is be-
lieyed that orders were also received by
the Was Department today to rush prep
arations for the sending of an army
of occupation to Cuba. That orders OF a
definite character we're received from
Oyster Bay there il in douo;.
The republican congressional commit
tee has opened soliciting otEce here
and want all the money that they can
get.
Although the cost operating 1913 miles
of railways in the United States during the
wear ended, June 80, showed an average in
crease of $l0l per mile, the increase in net
earnings were $50, 602, 4l2, according to the
annual report of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. There were ,Ss2, 1876 persons
employed, an average per mlie increase OF
100. The par value Of the amount o. capita
outstanding was $lS,S05. 25S, l2i. OF this
81 .16 per cent paid no dividends. There were
eight hundred millions of passengers carried.
There were 5H passengers killed against All
last wear. The total number Of casualties on
always reached 95.7ll. Of these 9,7O3 were
killed and 86,005 injured.
Because Of the absence of Secretary OF
War Taft and Assistant Sc eretary Of state
Bacon, members of the executi We committee,
the meeting of the National Red Cross AS
ISOLATION which was called for today has
been postponed until October list.

VICE PRESIDENT FAIRBANKS says
GA private secretary is a luxury these
DAYS. 1t costs money TO tide on rail-
road trains since The new rate law went
into effect" 1t must come rather hard
on republican politicians who have al
ways ridden on passes 10 find it necessary
to open their purses, but there is ray
OF hope that if the next Congress is re-
publican it will appropriate for the VICE
President as literally as it did for the
President. Az the s25,OOO year for
travelling expenses of the President was
virtually an increase OF 80 per cent. in
his salary, the appropriation for travel
ing expenses of the Vice President will
no doubt be made on the same liberal
percentage. As s)l the'e republican
politicians are looking ont for the main
chance, and incidentally saving the
country from the wicked democrats, e
republican Congress may be 80 liberal
with the money of the people as to sp-
propriate for travelling expenses for all
republican officials.

here that nothing can beat him. Charles
F. Murphy is now fer him in the ooeu.
Congressman Sulzer who was expected
to divide the Tammany strength, has
consented to quit
The selection of Lewis Nixon for tenn
porary chairman is regarded az Hearst
victory. Nixon announces that be will
only make a ten minute speech, aud
then let the convention proceed to
business.
Today's session should, therefore, be a
short one, as committees to be appoint
ed will have charge of two big unsettled
questions platform aud the fate of
about twenty contesting delegations.
William F. Sheehsn still sticks to the
statement that Hearst will be beaten.
Previous to the assent ling of the con-
veution it was said that il was very prob
able that all anti Hearst forces will con-
centrate on Gaynor.
The convention was called TO order at
1856 .. M. Mr.. Lewis Nixon was made
temporary chairman and he made brief
speech before assuming the position.
The convention at 1:l5 p. m. adjourn
ed until IL O'Clock tomorrow morning,
having been in session twenty minutes.
Albary county delegation at a caucus
today decided 20 support w. r. Hearst
for Governor. As they head the list OF
counties on the roll call, they will place
Mr.. Hearsts name before the conven'
ton.
II Bryan resolution is introduced in
the convention il will pass in some form.
This was the generally accepted idea
amony the democratic delegates today.
New York, Sept. 25.-New York is
promised another spectacular back to the
people" campaign from William Travers
Jerome. With every outlook here today
favoring the nomination OF Hearst, It is
declared that his selection will be fol-
lowed by one of the most sensational
bolts 10 the history of tate politics.
There will be no walking oui and 1t is
scarcely believed that there will be any
rump convention. There will probably
be a mass meeting. however, following
which the name of Jerome will he placed
in nomination by petition. Then will
come a spectacular campaign 10 best
Hearst and the raising of the cry by the
boilers to "saye the democratic party
from socialism and revolution.

SENATOR BAILEY, it is stated, has

SENATOR BAILEY, it is stated, has
promised to give out statement regard
ing his alleged connection with the
Waters Pierce Oil Company. The SEN
ator may go to Quitmsn, next Saturday,
when citizens mass meeting will be
held TO consider the question OF opDns-
ing his reelection to the Senate. 1t will
he remembered that while In Washing
ton last week the Senatorin commenting
ON the criticisms that have been made OF
his connection with the Waters-Pierc
Oil Company, said: mo client Of mine
has ever attempted to influence my opin-
ion on public questions and if they should
ever attempt 10 do it they would have to
get out of my presence very quick. liza
rule is to be laid down in this country
that no man is to serve in Congress and
have business outside, either profession
al or otherwise, we will soon get body
of professional politicians. All who
know Senator Bailey know him to be an
honest and honorable man. That he
has been, or may be, the attorney for an
oil company, may or may not be true,
Int it is certain that no vote ever cast
nv him in the Senate was in the remOt-
eat way 10 favor of trust as against the
oeople of bis State or country.

Richmond Republicans.

A mass meeting of the republicans OF
Richmond was held last night at Sanger
Hall for the purpose of naming a new
city committee and appointing dele
gates to the convention in Manchester
today.
The session was exciting, in that there
was closely drawn fight for control OF the
committee by the oily whites" and the
chocolate drops" the eolored element
10 the party. The whites took charge OF
the meeting from the start and ruled it,
though the negroes were allowed to note
SO appeal.
A solid white delegation to the Man
chester convention was elected. The ne
groes, after having appealed from the
chair, remained on the floor of the hall
and continued to wage the battle for co.,
troll. The city committee, which is COM
posed OF forty odd members, will also be
solid white.
Resolutions we're adopted indorsin e
the administration OF President Roose-
Welt and State Chairman Semp.
An effort was made to induce John K.
Rysil TO offer himself as candidate for
Congress, 10 which event the mass meet
ing was prepared TO ipdorse him, but Ry
all RETAINED from making such an an
nonncement.

tant is bearing fruit ss the democrats

The Government Printing ONCE.

Public Printer Stillings yesterday in
augurated his system of efficiency as sp.
piled to government work. By it he
hopes to be able at any time to give an
exact statement as to the cost of any gov
eminent job. Heretofore, he says, es-
Inmates have been based on theoreticsl
lines, but he now proposes to make it a
matter of exact knowledge. He declares
that the new system will not impose any
extra work on the printers, bookbinders
or Others employed in the office, but, On
the contrary, vii secure to them proper
credit for the work they Individually do
The change being more or less radical
FROM the old sysiem, MI StilliOgs said
that he fully expected to meet with much
criticism, although he said his action
was di-tinct advance in the conduct OF
the Office. 1t is believed that this new
order will call forth bitter opposition
from the labor unions represented in the
great government printing establishment.
II is a fact that Assistant Secretary New
beuy's attempt to break into the union
rules prescribing certain stints of work
at the Washington navy yard recently
failed. owing to the opposition Of the un-
ions. who through committees vigorously
protested against the competitive system,
which. they asserted, it was sought to
impose upon the workmen. The efhcien-
CIV record in the case of the government
printing Office will, they fear, be made
the basis for promotion and reward, and
thereby induce individual competition d.
rectly contrary to the principles of the
unions.

press and baggage cars teieseofed into

Objections to Peace Terms.

Havana, Sept. 25.-Opposition from
government and moderate sources has
caused another lull 10 the peace negoti-
atoms. Secretary Tsft's declaration that
be hoped to be able to announce settle
ment by this evening, now seems doomed
The American peace commissioners
had little difficulty at their conference
with the committee of liberals and insur-
gents last night in coming to an under
standing. When the terms then agreed
to were put up to the government for
approval there was balk. President
Palma, and especially the satellites who
have maintained themselves in fat official
positions, objected to the terms as being
too favorable to the insurgents. They
could not see their way clear to agree to
peace under the circumstances.
It is understood practically all the
liberals contentious we're agreed to ex-
cept that Palma should retire. This
meant new elections of congressman and
senators elected a year ago and new
elections in the municipalities.
Granting these new elections was TO
throw a blight upon the legality of
Palma's own selection, since be was
chosen at the same time. He objected
tor one thing to the position the COM
promise would place him in before the
world. Other moderates objected to al
lowing the control of the government to
practically pass into the hands of the
liberals, as it is conceded they will win If
another election ia bell.

Jackson, Miss Sept. 25.--''Iu my
opinion, the only s,lution of the rscs
question, said Governor Vardaman, OF
Mississippi, in discussing the Atlantis
riots, "is the repeal of the 18th amend
ment and modification of the l4th.
The civilization of the white man eau
not be suited to the semi-saysge negro.
When you undertake ii, you demOraliza
the white andspoil the negro.
"The civilization OF the negro lasts
just as long as he is under the control of
the white man who inculcstes it. Whea
left to himself, he as naturally drifts
back to the barbsrism of the jungle. The
crime of criminal assault is the brutal
manifestation OF tue uegro's aspiration
for special equality"
