Newport News. July 2G.-The first
Republican State convention TO be
held during the Taft administration
will open here next Wednesday,
While the Republicans entertain lit
tie hope of electing a governor or
other State officers next fall, they
are entering this campaign with
moro spirit OF fight than they have
shown for years. and expect TO run
the Democrats a close race.
That the President has not over
looked the fact that this gathering
OF more than / 900 Republicans will
afford the first reflection OF the Taft
sentiment as shown by a State party
gathering since his induction into Of
fec. a little less than Ave months
ago. is indicated by the fact that one
OF his cabinet officers is 10 be among
the department. OF commerce., will ad-
dress the convention OIL the first OF

says may safely be regarded as hav-
ing the endorsement OF his chief.
a. p. Gillespie. Of Tazewell, or
VIM. p. Kent. of Wythe, in all proba-
bility will be nominated to head the
State ticket. Gillespie announced
some time ago that no would not
accept the Office, but as the time
draws near for the convention, It is
whispered about that Mr.. Gillespie
mas been induced 10 allow his name
20 go before the convention. Repre-
sentative Bascom Slemp IS quoted az
saying that Mr.. Gillespie can have
the place IL he wants Il. Mr. Kent

Washington, ID. c., July 90 -
Orville Wright at Fort Meyer Satur-
day evening surpassed all previous
performances OF the Wright aero
plane, In the matter OF speed and I'm
the sharpn ess OF his turns. Wilbur
Wright, who closely watched his
brothers. flight during every inch OF
his progress. calculated his average
speed with and against tho wind, at
a miles an hour.
One of his circles at full speed was
estimated to bo within tliamater OF
100 feet---an automobile could hard
ly do better than that at tho high
rate OF speed.
Cutting all sorts OF circles I'm ths
air, Orvillo Wright again demoa-
strated tho ability OF the Wright
brothers aeroplane to fly. Tho
aerial navigator remained aloft at
Fort Meyer for more than twenty
minutes, and thcn at a signal from
mis- brother. Wilbur, made a swift
and safe landing.
with this hight the prelimlnaTies

The Wright-manned bird OF tho

some very sharp turns were made,
on one of which the craft careened

marked that the machine had como

San Sebastian, Spain, July 26.-
The best secret service operatives OF
Spain are watching every movement
OF Don jamie to aid the revolt that
Is going on within the nation. An
uprising in favor of the new pretend
er is feared at every moment. Spain
Is in the verge OF a civil revolution,
which may cost Kink Alfonso his
throne. No one will be quicker
than Don Jamie to take advantage
OF the opportunity to assist in the
overthrow or Alfonso. The youth
full king is perhaps the most cordial
ly hated man in Spain today. The
people believe he is alone responsl-
BILE for the continuation of the un-
popular war with the Moors in Mo
rocco. Tl;c summoning OF the low
er reserves has but added fever to
the hatred manifested toward AL
fonso.
The most rigid censorship ever en-
forced in Spin rules today and news
from Madc.3 is totally cut of from
the outside press. but 1t is reliably
reported here by passengers arriv-
ing from Madrid that there have been
very serious rioting there Friday and

The fact that more than dozen

that the daa among the private sol

general opinion in every part of
Spain that the real list, when II Is

five times greater than that given
