OPEMXG OF THE CARNIVAL.
■ Richmond yesterday assumed the
pleasant duties of hostess for thousands |
of her Virginia and Carolina.friends, when j
President Roosevelt pressed the button j
v.-hich set in motion the machinery of her j
second great street fair. |
;; It was .an auspicious occasion and ono |
on which Nature seemed to smile, for the |
skies were beautiful and the. 'weather j
was' perfect Although. the fair can hardly
be said to have commenced fully until
'quite late in the afternoon, there was no i
lack of , people to attend the opening cere
monies. Long before . the hour set for j
the speeches the streets were, thronged j
by thousandswho seemed thoroughly im-j
bued with the Carnival spirit, and at j
night, wlien hundreds of bulbs^ :
flashed their brightness on the merry
scene, the multitude of pleasure seekers ,
was immense. - . .
-The fair, strictly speaking, began when;
the President in his office; at the White |
House, in Washington, pressed the button J
of the electric 'wire leading to this city.
A moment later Rabbi E. N. \ Calisch
offered an earnest prayer, after which
Veiicitous addresses were delivered' by
Mayor Taylor and Governor Tyler. And
"then the great audience dispersed to
amuse themselves in scores of different
harmless ways. ;
It cannot be denied, however, that many
of 'our merchants and exhibitors, as well
as the showmen, were tardy in fixing
up their booths arid tents, though the
merriment was at its height by nightfall,
when, as we have Indicated, Broad street
presented a most brilliant spectacle. •
■ ."'To-day the city will indeed be gay.
md beautiful, for when our many- guests
ihall ■ have breakfasted, they vrill find
no finishing touches remaining to be put
upon the decorations and other attractive
feituresof the Carnival/ And, then, too,
our "country cousins," as well' as our
friends from other cities, . have just be
gun to pour in. and from now until the
end of the week, the sightseers ; within
pur gates will be almost numberless.
; %Tbeir presence brings us gr««it pleasure
and If they enjoy themselves we shall
be happy. Richmond is in her most hos
pitable mood this; week— yea, we admit
that she is wearing her "best bib and
tucker," and is anxious to appear well
■before her "company." Therefore ;we
' hope : to see; nothing hut smiling; faces
arid interested spectators.
We are trying to amuse all classes—
the young,' the old, the serious,^ the practi
cal, and the frivolous. If they find tbem
•- selves ; ennuied on: one corner we urge
to push on, to the next, for surely tiey
'will discover.. something to divert them
there. 'In a word, we want our guests
to enjoy themselves, and we are doing our
"best'to assist them in accomplishing that
end. .■ ; : ■ ' _ ... . -- ; :
Charleston' is to get the; government's
exhibit at the Pan-American Exros ition
when the Buffalo entertainment closes.
Thaf lias been decided by the Cabinet,
and is ? fe the line of justice. Charleston
has Sen- doing, nobly in her ■ determina
tionito malce a" great success of the ap
proaching , exposition: It was a shame
for Congress; to refuse? tof lie^g
assistance after .voting to m.
Louis, a city far abler to shift for her
self financially than Charleston is. The
expense of moving: the; government s ex
hibSt from Buffalo to; Charleston will
fall upon the management of the Charles
ton '.■•'show.- unless - Congress , shall- defray
it;* We take it for granted that the na
tional Legislature will ; not lie so • mem;
sisv to refuse that slight encouragement.

The majority of the committee do not
believe the Daniel plnn would be '.'em

engraft the understanding, clause .upon,
the Constitution as: a :"pcrmanency."v- A

Atthis moment: progress Howards Lcom
promise Is . mucli- slower! ! than ;we;cbuld
wish/ b\it;we know wo waV- to, speed it.:.;
We believe it'. to be a /fact that, none
of ! the !plans! yet brought forward fully,
meets the "views of the mass^ of; mem
bers. And probably that condition; will
"continue to the end: The best that can
be hoped for . is that discussion ; and ; de-.
liberation ' will result^ in some compromise
measure which; will: be acceptable;tq;the
bemocratic voters. ; r :
But one" tiling seems \ certain now ;and
that is. that when the new Constitution
is framed' it will be found that the.in-.j
terests of the white voters are: fully 1
protected/ This Mr. Montague, has/ pre- j
dieted in several of : his public : speeches
and he is justi fied ■■ . in expressing that
opinion. The Rcpub^canV who tell the
I people that a property qualification is to ,
be made an indispensable prerequisite to
voting, should know; that they are not
speaking the truth.;-.:- : : ::/ I
The convention thoroughly understands !
tliat it is! expected to restrict negro j
suffrage, not white suffrage.- . : •
Secretary Cortelyou announces officially,
it appears, that the President's name . is
pronounced "Ro-ze-velt." i Now let the Ad
ministration proceed. ,
It appears that .General W;ade Hamp-.t
ton is being urged in South Carolina as
a compromise candidate "for .the United
States : Senate. Colonel Wilie Jones,;
chairman of the State Democratic. Com
mittee, was an avowed candidate ; for the
office to succeed McLaurin. He has long
been prominent in; South Carolina poli
tics, is a man of means; and gained con
siderable additional popularity by; com
manding the South . Carolina regiment
tliat; .went '.to ■'■Cuba. In a statement just
issued, he withdraws from the Senatorial
race, and asks all other candidates to
do the same thing, in. order that the
office may be bestowed; ur»n General
Hampton : without contest./ The General,
it is said,: will not seek any office, but
will take the Senatorship if it is ten
dered to him, and Colonel Jones .urges
the younger men who are candidates
to join him in crowning the veteran's
life with the proposed renewal of popular
approbation^ .
Tire, action suggested would prevent, It
is stated, the threatened : bitteT cam
paisn. arid probable split tn;the. Party,
and one of Chairman Jones's arguments
Is that this bitterness. should be. avoided
and the people be allowed to give their
attention to more profitable pursuits than
political ! quarrels. For more reasons
than one, therefore, it seems desirable
that Chairfnan Jones's suggestion should
be adopted. We hope it will be.
Major Johri ;D. Keiley," brother of the
Hon. Anthony. M. Keiley. who was. for
several terms Mayor or Richmond, now
a- judge of the International . Court 'at
Alexandria, -Egypt, is very ill of heart
disease. Major Keiley is a commission
merchant, and is a very close friend of
Cardinal Gibbons's. .. - .
The Carnival is now "on." Let every
body see that it goes off "all right" '
CASE OF MISS STOKE. s;
Collections -were ; taken up in churches
in Boston and other cities Sunday for the
purpose 'of : raising, $110,000 .to ransom
Stone,' the American "missionary,
who -was kidnapped in a Turkish province,
and for whose : release that 'amount
is demanded by- the. brigands 7 who car
ried her off. The lady's captors have
given notice that the. sum is paid
by October Bth she wiirbe put to death
or subjected to a worse fate.
In severai of its aspects the case pre
sents a very-difficult : situation 'to deal
with. Although: it is not clear whether
the brigands are Turks or Bulgarians,
■Abdul Hamid is reporislble for the safety
of Miss Stone, seeing that Bulgaria is
under; the" suzerainty of Turkey. , - : • .'
Ever since the abduction our State De
partment has been pressing the Sultan
to secure the lady's liberation, and there
is reason to conclude that he has been
honestly endeavoring to. do so. Not that
he has any sympathy .with Christian mis
sionaries, but he is •": "well aware that
should ISliss 9tonei be murdered or mal
treated, this government will become the
agent of her friends for the collection of
heavy ; indemnity. . , : .' :
At present our government can go no
further -than jit has gone.- Even had it
power to pay the ransom, that 7 could not
be thought of, and for .the same reason
that has; constrained the- American Board
of Commissioners of Foreign - Mis
• sions ;to refuse "to. assist 'in raising
the $110,000. Tliat reason is that it would
encourage the kidnapping of ; missionaries
hot only in; Turkey, but in other coun
tries where the conditions 'are favorable
• to'', brigandage.-'' . - - .. . -' ■";
As It is, it is believed that the raising
of the money by Miss .Stone's :friends
natural as that proceeding is— will 'im
peril other missionaries and ; the ' mis
sionary cause in : Turkey, 'arid the -whole
Balkan region, and elsewhere. In that
event a grave problem, it would ■ appear,
will confront the Washington authori
■ ties/; and we/ see but 'one solution -'of it;
jvhile ; .we are : opposed 'to- all 'entangling
alliances, ;.. we could ■> advocate = ; this ■: "count
try's leading in a Qovement, to - t - settle
the missionary q v. ; £tion; : by; r giving (the
Sultan , a lesson -;,'. which ■- would -force him
to maintain in his i dominions 'v conditions*
that' w,ould -.; aaf eguurd - the - missionaries.
This/ we - believe, "could be' done ■without
the ditnger of:, our getting involved in
any way in the little Eastern: or TurkTsiv
question. The issue need^ not -bfc
complicated -with anything bearing:*upbn'
the partition of Turkey*'Jbr' the -ambitions
of any of the European nations. It could
be made a clean-cat oiie for the specific

CAIIMVAL BILI- AT BIJOU.
Manager. Well* Offers a Varied and
.'■•'"' : "Attractive' ProKrnmme..
•Carnival week at the. Bijou is going to
be one of the successes of the week, for
Manager Wells has" certainly an offering
that is worthy: of patronage, and ; that
should test ; the capacity of the : popular
place of amusement at every one of the
performances :to , be given. Matinees are
to be given every! afternoon, and at night
the show, will not start up . until 8:45
o'clock, -thus giving . home .folk and the
visitors a: chance to witness; the parades,
and then spend an hour or. two witness
ing this exceptionally good entertainment.
The bill .has been. well; selected, for there
are eight ; acts, and none of thefn runs
too long, and the variety is good.
One of the greatest novelties that has
beeri'seen at, the "Bijou is the number pre
sented by Mile. Chester; and her: staute
dog. The dog is a snow white setter, and
he is a iriarvel. The Brownings in sing
ing arid comedy work are very/good, and
McMahon.and Chappelle", proved interest
ing in singing and : dancing. There has
never been a better acrobatic act present
ed in Richmond than that of the three
Brothers Melrose, and Welsh Frances &
Co. in a comedy play make real and
hearty.: laugh ten The; three Brooklyns
scored a great hit. - . .
Orie of the :' features -of -the bill is the
Vitagraph moving pictures of the fun
eral of President McKinley, together with
an- assortment of inoy
ing. pictures. A. " .
The box office is open from 9 o'clock
in the morning for the sale of reserved
seats; and ; : seats fop any
can:be secured. " \ -.; ■
.The Bijou is one of the most popular
and cleanest play ' houses in the country.

■-.:■■■ Reed Resign.' from Board. .:
The Tobacco Association was in session
yesterday for a short while only,, but
the 'meeting was of -some*: importance.
The attendance-was small. This was
not .due. to ;,the return, of the delegates
to their homes, for" many of therii are
still here, Diit -to their •-interest", in the
Carnival "opening and- the \pfetty gen
eral belief 'that not; much remains to
be , done by the rie\\* organization. The
body was called to order by President
Carrington. ■ '
The "first act was the reconsideration of
the acceptance of the "resignation 1 of
Messrs'. John C. ilagan and : W. C. Reed
as members of the Board of Governors.
The association decided ] that these gentle
men should not ; be allowed to resign.
The Constitution t was also ; amended so
as to allow, an increase to sixteen of the
Board \ of ; Governors: The quorum is five
and five ; members 'will be~ from the city
of Richmond ; so as to permit business to
be done -without "having the attendance
of.; delegates ; from a distance. - ' •
President ' Carrington' authorized the ap
pointment- of a committee which should
