At Clifton Forge and other railroad centers in the State -the Republicans are making a fight against Mr. Willard, the Democratic candidate for Governor, on the employers' liability bill. The Republicans are sending out circulars calling attention to the fact that Mr. Willard, while a member of the House of Delegates, voted against the employers' liability measure. The circular says that as Lieutenant-Governor and President of the Senate Mr.
Willard will have the power to appoint the committee to which this Important subject will be referred, i Beverly T. Crump, who, with his father, the late Judge W. W. Crump, was counsel for the defense In the (famous Cluverius murder case, announces his candidacy for judge of the Richmond Circuit Court. This place is now held by Judge B.
R. Wellford, and has been for 30 years. His successor is to be elected by the Legislature this winter and the incumbent declines to be a candidate. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Abingdon, Oct.
that bqjh Col. J. Hampton Hoge and Mr. Montague, who came here to speak today, -expressed a desire to meet in joint discussion. Colonel Hoge saying that he came here from Eastern Virginia with that In view, tha meeting failed to materialize.
The Democratic and Republican County Committees, which had the matter In charge, also expressed a mutual desire for" a Joint discussion and early in the day entered into negotiations. Each committee was solicitous that its champion should have the advantage of the final rejoinder, and this feature gave occasion to the most careful diplomacy. Chairman McBroom, of the Republican Committee, addressed a note to Chairman Robertson, of the Democratic Committee, suggesting the desirability of an arrangement and Inquiring the pleasure -of Mr. Montague. This note failed to bring a challenge from Mr.
Montague, which would have given Mr. Hoge the privilege of claiming the closing argument. Mr. McBroom then the "challenge on behalf of Colonel H6ge, stating that a Joint discussion was desired upon fair and equal terms. Chairman Robertson then replied on behalf of Mr.
Montague, accepting the challenge upon condition that Mr. Montague tpen In a speech of one hour. Colonel Hoge reply In a speech of 1 hour and 30 minutes, then Mr. Montague close In a speech' of 30 minutes. Chairman McBroom declined these terms, then, just before the hour for speaking, made a verbal proposition with term? similar to those proposed by the Democratic chairman, except that the final rejoinder should be only 15 minutes In length, and giving Mr.
Montague the privilege of opening or closing the argument. This proposition was declined, following which Mr. Montague proceeded to Withers' warehouse, where he was greeted by an audience of 900, including a number of ladles. Mr. Montague was introduced by Congressman Rhea and made an able speech, which was received with much enthusiasm.
The dividing of the crowd proved a triumph for the Democrats, for Colonel Hoge, who spoke In the Town Hall, was listened to by an audience only one-third the size of that at the Montague meeting, and nearly one-third of Colonel Hoge's audience was composed of colored voters. Colonel Hoge did not fail to interest and enthuse his audience, notwithstanding that he suffered a serious attack of lumbago last night and was quite weak physically today.

Among other things he mentioned the dining of Booker Washington with President Roosevelt, and said, while Washington might be a worthy negro, that God had drawn the color line and that it should never be changed.
When Hon. W. A. Jones arose as next speaker there was an outburst of applause. After referring to national affairs he said this wi distinctly a State campaign, and praised the efficient administration of affairs In Virginia under Democratic rule.
He also said he opposed the constitutional convention until the Democratic party said that no white man would be disfranchised, and arraigned Mr. Hoge for saying that 50,000 white men would be disfranchised. He referred to Accomac as the richest county in the State In agriculture, and pleaded that all respectable citizens of Accomac come out and give a rousing Democratic majority.

28. "Cyclone Jim" Marshall and H. D. Flood, who were billed to speak at 'a political meeting at Warrenton today, failed to come and their places were filled by Eppa Hunton, R. Lindsay Gordon and J.
B. T. Thornton. The denunciation of President Roosevelt for dining Booker Washington was severe. This was liberally applauded, show'ng plainly that this one act of the President has done more than any one thing to solidify the ranks of the Democrats.
Hon. W. E. Gains, of the Fourth district, addressed a large Republican meeting in the Courthouse. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.
Newport "News, Oct. 28. The new Democratic Committee of Warwick county held Its first meeting today and elected S. R. Curtis, chairman, J.
H. Ham treasurer and former Chairman E. C. Madison secretary. Madison was proposed for chairman and defeated, 12 to 5.
Former Chairman J. H. Crafford was tied with H. A. Campbell for a place on the committee.
The tie was decided In Campbell's favor by the toss of a coin. The reorganization; it is believed, will stop temporarily, at the fight that has split the party In Warwick for years. Bristol, Oct. 28. The political situation In Southwest Virginia, this far from election day, appears to be one of absolute Indifference.
The party leaders were much aroused, over the contest between Montague and Swanson for the nomination, but since that time there has been little or no enthusiasm. MAY GET A GOOD POSITION i The President, It Is Said, May Find A Place For Gen. Johnson. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore-Sun. Richmond, Oct.
28. A friend of Gen. Bradley T. Johnson says that it is believed that President Roosevelt will offer him a good Government position, possibly at the national capital. Those here who are most Intimately associated with General Johnson say they have not heard of any such suggestion.
The General and the President are old personal friends. The former spent a fortnight or more with Mr. Roosevelt when he was Governor of New York. General Johnson is living on his farm in Amelia county, in this State, and is a stalwart Democrat. The Richmond City Council tonight began the discussion of the question of extending the corporate limits.
This proposition will be fought with vigor by property owners In the sections of the county proposed to be Incorporated. The experience of taking In the new Lee district, In which Is located the statue of Gen. Robert. E. Lee, will furnish argument for the opponents of annexation.

Few recent decisions have excited more comment than that of the Supreme Court of Illinois onithe taxation of corporations. Of this decision the Philadelphia Ledger says "The tax decision of the HIinoisSupreme Court on the proper and equitable method of assessing the value of public service companies is of the highest importance.
In defiance of the statutes the State Board of Equalization had for 20 years followed methods of Its own for determining the assessable value of the franchises and capita' stock of corporations which paid taxes on merely nominal sums. The law required the board to find the fair cash value of the capital stock and franchises. The local tax boards first, taxed the tangible property of corporations and then these figures were submitted to the State Board of Equalization, which made an estimate of the value of the capital stock, from which they subtracted the value of the tangible property, using the remainder as the assessed value of franchise and good-will. Huge sums, represented by bonded indebtedness, were uniformly disregarded, with the result, as the court says, that the assessment was practically no assessment or so trivial as to be in effect fraudulent. The court rules that in finding a basis for assessing franchises and capital stock, particularly of public service corporations, the board shall add together, on April 1 of each year, the market value, and no a vague estimate, of both capital stock and bonded indebtedness, and, after deducting from this aggregate the assessment already fixed for tangible property, shall assess the remainder like any other property.
This suit was brought to enforce taxation against 23 public service corporations which had, under the old assessments, escaped taxation on capital stock and franchises estimated to be worth $368,000,000." Our Greatest Cuban Triumph. "For 10 years in Havana," says the New York World, "the average number of September deaths was 877.45. rising to the appalling total of 2,397 in the year of the war. "In the September just passed there were 339 deaths less than half of the 10-year average and 69 less than In the healthiest winter month on record up to 1898. "The death-rate this September was 15.64 per thousand, slightly lower than that of London or Paris and less' than two-thirds that of Berlin.
"If New York's death-rate last August a cool month had been as low as Havana's in September 1,782 human lives would have been saved In that single month "Under 10 years of Spanish rule the average of yellow fever deaths in the six summer months was 296 this year 5. The explanation is thus given in Chief. Sanitary Officer Gorgas' report to General Wood, from which these facts are taken "This year, since March ,1, we have had 100 men daily engaged in-killing mosquitoes in every way we knew how. "A considerable decrease in the ravages of consumption is also noted. These are our most glorious victories in Cuba." Caste In Europe.
"The Duke of Marlborough," says the New Orleans States, "would no more think of Inviting his butler or his forester to dine with him than a Southern gentleman would think of Inviting Booker Washington to his table, and with these social rules everywhere recognized throughout England, and with the great masses of the English people absolutely barred out by the social conventions of the higher orders, the great London journals hava the assurance to read prelections to the people of the South on their attitude toward the negro. In view of the presumptuous intermeddling of these social Pharisees the people of the South may well employ In rebuking them the language of the Master 'Thou hypocrite First cast out the beam that is in thine own eye, and then sbalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy Will-England Recede? "If the report proves rue," says the Philadelphia Press, "that Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and M. C. Ti Ritchie, president of the Board of Trade, are ready to head a movement for peace in England the Boer War is near its end. Heavy as the Conservative majority is In the House it would not bear the secession of these men.
Everything Is plainly ripe in English politics for an explosion. No Liberal leader is equal to the task of heading an attack on the Government policy. The Liberal party Itself is hopelessly divided. No large body of English voters seems to have confidence in any leading Liberal. But, nonetheless, a great body of English public opinion has lost all confidence in Mr.
Chamberlain and his policy, for he, is today the real head of the minority." EEALTYAND BUILDING Mr O. A. Klrkland, auctioneer, sold yesterday to Lee D. Barnes, for $135, the dwelling 817 Lemmon street, lot 12 feet 1 inches by 60 feet. Ground rent, $20.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Botds, Oct. 28. Fire broke out this afternoon in one of the barns of Mr. Jacob Snyder, farmer and dairyman, near Ger-mantown, Montgomery county, and destroyed three buildings with their contents and three large straw stacks outside the buildings.
Mr. Snyder had his farm hands sawing wood In the cow stable, where the fire started, it is supposed from a spark from the smoke staek of the engine falling into hay in the loft above. A straw stack near by was Ignited and a gust of wind blew the fire over the top of a large barn, setting another stack of straw aine. This communicated the flames to two buildings, which were wiped out. A corn crib full of grain was saved, with Its contents, by hard efforts.
Samuel Reid, of Boyds, who was riding along the road, was the first to discover the fire and told the men at the engine and mill, who knew nothing whatever of it, and 'who escaped after the roof had fallen In. Besides buildings and straw stacks a very large amount of hay and other farm products were destroyed, but no grain. No cattle were in the stables at the time.
