Especial dispatch to the Alexandria GaEette.l
Richmond, Va. Aug. 6.-Returns that are
slowly coming in are rather favorable to
Tucker, but Aann's net majority viii not be
less than $500. Williams is easily elected al
torney general over Cstlett, Ellyson's ma.
jority over Cation for lieutenant governor is
surprisingly large. The contest between
KOiner and Brown for commissioner Of
agriculture is very close. Browns mansger
thinks complete returns will show Browns
election. The total vote is estimated at
about 5000. The credit for Judge Msnn's
victory is generally ascribed to tile temper
ance vote. The result is regarded as a victory
for the anti-saloon cause.

FRIDAY EVENING. AUGUST 6, 1909

A MAJORITY Of the democratic voters
of Virginia yesterday cast their votes for
Judge william Fl. Mann, and be Is no"
the candidate Of the party for goVefnoi
If this commonwealth. Alexandra ex'
messed her preference for Hon. d. 81.
George Tucker, but the latter's sup
porters are now Mann men and VIII De
fouud 10 the front ranks Of the lsIters
followers when the time arrives next
November to perform the rites OF SePui-
ture for his republican competitor. Ioe
other nominees are Judge 5. W. VIII
1isms for attorney general and Mr. CIV
Koiner for Commissioner Of Agriculture.
The primary election yesterday is justly
regarded as a model contest in the camp
of the democratic party. While the
a5herspts of the respective candidates
were pronounced in their preferences
the election was not msrred by anything
,,n,eemlv. AZ it was merely race be-
.ween two well-known democrats, both
ot whom enjoy the confidence and
resnect of the people of the state. Mr.
J. Taylor Ellyson was selected as
tbe candidate for lieutenant governor
Alexandria, however, preferred Mr..
James r. Cation, AID rolled up a sub
s,antisl majority for that gentleman, bu'
most of the people Of the state' Tor res'
sout best known to themselves, saw DO
reason for depOsing MI Ellyson from
the position he has so aceeP'aoly hlleo
10 recent yeats. His extended aeqasint-
ance throughout the state by reason OF
his having held the position OF chair
man of the state democratic committee
gave him a tremendous advantage over
his competitor. Mr.. OstOn, like all
good democrats, bows to the will OF the
people, and he, too, will, as heretofore
devote his talents and labOrs toward roll
ing up a lsrge majority for the noml'
nees Of his party. The contest between
Messrs. Robinson MOnc6re and OOun-
Gilman j. Fred. Birrell for the honor Of
representing Alexandra city and county
10 the house of delegates had been
spirited for some time. Both candidates
had worked assiduously for the nomi-
nation. The result showed that large
majority preferred to accept the services
of Mr.. Moncure as q delegate, while
all concede that should the choice have
fallen to Mr.. Birrell he would have
Iabored faithfully for the good OF his na-
tive city. Mr.. Moncure is young and
popular Alexandria lawyer, possessing all
the requirements for the position to
which he has been called, and that be
will prove faithful and satisfactory rep
resentative is conceded by all who know
him.

Trouble Between China and Japan.

Toxic, Aug. An open clash with
Ohins is threatened 10 the decision Of
the japanese government today to COM
mence work within a few days on the
reconstruction of the Antung. Mnkden
Railway in Mauchuris, regardless OF the
Chinese protest.
The trouble between JspSn aud China
regarding the railroad arises from the
fact that Japan insists on certain
changes in the route from that embodied
in the treaty of 1905, by which Japan
was given the right to improve the rail
ws7.
japan also wishes TO change the road
to a standard gusge to conform to her
Oorean road, and demands a military
guard Of fifteen soldiers to the kilometer
and the policing Of the towns along the
read by Japanese. Japan, who under
the trtaty, is given the right to operate
the road for fifteen years for commercial
purposes, insists that such measures are
necessary for the proper maintenance OF
the road. China asserts thst the
changes proposed by Japsn ere sill 10
the interest OF japanese military aggres-
siOns in Mancburia.

A Lincoln Anecdcte.

Two farm hands," Lincoln
used to say, were set upon by
a huge bull while crossing a
rocky field. One managed to
gain a tree. The other took
refuge in a hole that proved to
have an exit in the rear.
The man who had chosen the
hole was no sooner in at one end
than he was out at the other.
With a below the bull made for
him. He turned again and shot
like lightning through the hole.
The bull once more bore down
on him, and once more he was in
and out of the hole.
This strange pursuit kept up
for some ten minutes or more.
At first it mystitied the farm
hand up in the tree Then it
angered him.
Hey he shouted, We DANCED
nincompoop, why don't We stay
in the hole?
The bull was dashing from one
end of the hole to the other at a
great speed and the man was
boiling in and out desperately.
