MURDER MYSTERY.

The body OF Norval T. Harris. q
years old, was found early yesterday
morning near Ninth and streets south
west Washington, with a bullet wound
at the base OF his skull. No one is
known to have seen the fatal shot fired,
no one has been able to to find the
pistol from which the shot was fired,
no one can deduce motive, if suicide
was committed, no one can offer a
logical reason for murder.
A negro, who, discovering the dead
body, directed two white men to the
scene, is being sought, the belief being
that he knows something OF the crime
and its commission. Also there is a
woman, or, it appears, several women
involved either directly or indirectly.
Several unintelligible kilograms and
fragments OF letters found in the dead
mans room add to the mystery Of the
affair.

A MEMBER of the republican state
committee said in Richmond few
days ago that that committee has de-
cided that there shall be a candidate
for Congress in each OF the ten districts
OF Virginia this year, and the commit
tee has also announced that n deter
mined effort will be made TO elect them
in the general election this fall. B." This
is all buster and was known 20 be
when the committeeman made this
statement. 1t is known positively that
in at least two of the districts, the First
and the Eighth, there will be no repub-
lcan candidate and this will probably
be the case in other districts The re
publicans will concentrate all their
efforts in the Fifth and Ninth districts
with little chance of carrying the form
er and strong probability OF loosing the
latter. The republicans are whistling
to keep up their courage.

Japan Absorbs Korea.

Toxic, Aug. 29.-After an existence
OF more than 600 years, the Corean
kingdom was today swallowed up by
Japan. The formal PRONUNCIATION OF
the treaty Of annexation took place to-
day, though the terms OF the treaty
we're published several days ago.
By the annexation Japan gains a
prize that has been practically within
her grasp since her successful war with
Russia. Her area is increased by 80,
600 square miles and her population by
approximately 100000.
Dispatche. from Seoul, the Korean
capital, say the annexation has caused
no disturbance, which is probably due
to the extensive preparations made by
Japan to secure order in the Hermit
Kingdom.
China renowned her claim on Korea
by the treaty OF Shimoneseki, in 1895,
when japanese influence in Korea be-
came predominant. In February,
1904, the JapaneseKorean agreement
was signed at Seoul, whereby Japan I'M
dertook to insure the safety of the
Korean imperial household and guaran-
teed the territorial integrity OF the
country. Since that time it has been
evident that annexation would eventu-
ally take place.
A strong military force will have to
be maintained for several years in Ko-
rea, it is believed, to hold in check the
younger part of the population, which
has always opposed annexation and has
resorted TO numerous assassinations in
the last few years OF Japanese officials
and Koreans who appeared friendly to

The ISuturity Races.

Saratoga, n. Y, Aug. 29.-With
the running of the Futurity on We'd
nesday, horse racing will end in this
state for the year, and possibly for
some years to come. The future of the
sport is precarious, and any statement
as to whether there is to be racing
next year, would be more guess work.
The sum of $50, 600 is the prize in the
futurity and while there will probably
be a dozen starters, the race is con-
sidered to be between the filly Bashti
and the colt Novelty, with Naushon
having a chance il the track should be
heavy. Bashti will have an advantage
in the weights, having been allotted
but lis pounds while Novelty must
carry l27 Shilling will ride Novelty,
Garner will have the leg up on Bashti,
and Musgrave is coming from Canada
to pilot NauShon.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
MONDAY EVENING, AUG. .

THAT Mr.. Roosevelt In his insane de
sire for notoriety lays himself wide
open to just criticism is shown by the
following dispatch from Cheyenne
Wyoming:
Despite the greeting. Pm here to
see what you fellows can do on the
hurricane deck OF n broncho," which
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt handed out
to the bunch Of cowboys and horse
wranglers gathered about him, the for

Wild West town, must be wiped off the
map. The city could be set down in
the midst of New England without
a Jar. Outside of the character OF
the pictures in the saloons and the
disturbances raised at night by the
hangers-on at the large military post Of
Fort Russell, nothing is left TO dis
tinguish this small city from any one
OF similar size in the east. The former
president was constantly acclaimed on
his various appearances in the city, but
the cheers we're only about one-fiith as
hearty as greeted any of the races be
tween the various contestants at the
frontier games that had been held dur
ing the week. The difference III the
applause was marked when, after the
colonel had taken a spectacular ride
around the track before the 10000
spectators, four girls started on pony
race around the track. The colonel
had been cheered, but a real roar
greeted the girls. Several residents of
the city explained that, while the
westerners like Roosevelt, they are
not at all sure that they like the con
servation policy he has adopted, be
lieving it would be better to let them
own the land than to let it be burned
by forest fires while held by the gov
eminent.

The MARYLAND Election.

Baltimore, Aug. 29.-The first legal
lied primary to select candidates fol
Congress ever held in Maryland viii
occur tomorrow. The first test OF the
primary election law is severe one
due to the number of candidates in
many of the districts. In the third
and fourth districts there are four dem
ocratic candidates, while the third dis
trict has two republicans conteSting
the nomination, and the fourth dis
trict three. In the fifth district two
democrats are engaged in the struggle
for the nomination. The sixth dis
trict brings out the most interesting
struggle as far as the republicans are
concerned, three candidates being in
the field, and the result is extremely
doubtful. The democrats also have
two candidates i'll this district The
bitterest fight is probably that in the
fifth district where Governor Crothers
aud State Senator A. 7. German, jr.,
are battling for control. Senator Cor
man is backing j. Enos Ray, while
Governor Crothers is faxoring Charles

THE discussion during a recent meet
ing of doctors in Washington showed
how seriously the situation is in regard
to the infantile paralysis epidemic in
that city, and, incidentally, how ready
the doctors are to admit they are hope
lessly at sea. In the meantime some
Washington doctors are criticiSing the
health officer for giving publicity to
the state of the present epidemic.
Others say he had nothing to do with
giving it publicity. The latter admit,
however, that the public is alarmed and
that something must be done to stop
the epidemic. OF course, with some
doctors, it is treason for laymen to
criticize them, but all the same it can
be stated that the world has too far adj
vanced for the public to be kept in
ignorance of an epidemic that is pre-
vailing in their midst.

BIDS FAREWELL TO KOREA.

Upon the REIMBURSEMENT of his power
and the turning over OF his country
and people to the sovereignty of Japan,
Emperor Yi-Syek, OF Korea, now to be
known as Chosen, issued the following
farewell rescript:
Notwithstanding our unworthiness,
I'VE have succeeded in the arduous task
handed down by our ancestors. We
have endeayored up to the present to
follow modern administrative principles
but long-existing evils and deep rooted
weakness make it impossible for us TO
effect reforms in a reasonable time.
Daily and nightly we we're concerned,
but we're unable to rectify these condi-
tons.
Therefore we feel constrained, be-
lieving il wise, to intrust the great task
to other hands. In order that efficient
measures may be taken and a salts
factory result obtained, after serious
consideration, we have coded all our
sovereignty rights to Japan's emperor,
having implicit faith in him, and thus
insuring far Eastern peace and our
peoples welfare.
81 appeal TO all my people not to
create commotion, but to appreciate
the situation and the trend OF events,
and to continue to enjoy happiness by
pursuing their peaceful occupations and
obeying the new administration.
la taking this step We have not dis
regarded your interests; to the contrary.
we acted with the hope Of relieving a
deplorable situation. Therefore, we
command you to take cognizance of
our wishes.

Marion Adriance, her daughter, when
she was searched by the women in
spectors. No charge was made, how
ever, against Miss Adriance.
