THE LEAGUE CONSISTENT
Why Mai. Myers Was Endorsed
Instead of Mr.. Brock.

To the Voters of Richmond
The Democratic League for
Good Government has been
charged with inconsistency in
endorsing the candidacy of Maj.
E. T. D. Myers, the President of
the r. F. & P. r. r. Co., and re-
fusing to endorse Mr.. r. 5.
Brock. Jr., upon the ground
that he is believed to be con-
nected with the Richmond Rail
way and Electric Company.
There is no Inconsistency in
this, as the rights and route of
the r. F. & P. r. r. Co. have
already been granted by ordi-
nance, and this railroad is ask
ing for nothing.
On the other hand the rights
of the Richmond Railway and
Electric Company to those val
liable routes on Main and Broad
streets will expire in 1900, and
the company will be an appli-
cant for a renewal of those
rights. Undoubtedly. ifthe per-
sonnet of the incoming council
is favorable to this corporation,
such application will be made
to that council.
Not only is this true, but in
1000 the council will have to
determine the rate of taxation
to be imposed on this company
for its use of the streets-this
council will be called upon to
decide this question.
1t will thus be seen that there
is no inconsistency in the action
of the League, and every citizen
who is truly interested in the
welfare of this city will endorse
its action in this matter. No
man can serve two masters.

EUR0PE'S ATTITUDE.
IL is Alleged that at Least Three Would
Protest Against Interference.

LONDON, March 15.-The Vienna cor
respondent Of The Times telegraphs an
abstract Of an article in the st. Peters
burg NOVoe Nremya, which he thinks
deserves attention as giving an accu-
rate account Of the views and intentions
of at least three of the great powers. The
correspondent says:
The article asserts that the United
States are we'll aware that IN declaring
war against Spain they could not count
upon the approval of any of the European
powers All, it alleges. would sympa thize
with Spain II not actively certainly by
categorical protest against Mckinley s
conduct. This is also well known at
Madrid.
The Vienna correspondent Of The Stan
dard declares that Austria and Germany
sympathize with Spain. the former being
actuated by family ties between the TWO
reigning houses and the latter by a
erudge against the United States.
The Paris correspondent OF The Times
says. according TO information obtained
from reliable sources, the Austrian En-
peror is making great efforts TO induce
the European powers TO present TO the
United STATES the danger 10 Europe OF
Their carrying further their interference
in the Cuban affairs.

WASHINGTON, March H.-Because or
a protest from some Of the Western peo-
pie, the Secretary Of War has modified
his order Of last week, changing the
names of bounds for the military depart
ment, so as TO retain the name of the de-
partment OF the Missouri. To do this,
however, il was necessary To abandon
the naming OF "tho department Of the

the present limits of that department will
be known as the department OF the Mis-
souri,. The old department Of the Mis-
souri, continues its new name of the de-
partment of the Lakes.

MINES CAN BE LAID QUICKLY.
Only Placed When Trouble is immi'
nent--Somthing About Theories.

KEY WEST, FLA. March 1.-THE
United States despatch boat Fern arrived
here this morning from Matanzas.
The Ferns trip was uneventful. She
reached Matanzas on Saturday and at
once began discharging provisions into
lighters. on shore a few persons had
gathered but there was no demonstra-
tion Of any kind. The share OF provisions
for Matanzas was gotten rid Of In bust
ness like way and the Fern then sailed
for Saguag La Grande where the same
programme was gone through on Sunday
the operation OF landing the stores oc-
cupying about six hours.
no MINES LAID.
The torpedoes and shells which arrived
Saturday were transferred to-day 10
Fort Taylor and considerable local excite
ment was raised over rumors that they
were being placed in position. An officer
who would be connected with such work,
however. denied this report and said:
when you see these mines OF torpe-
does beig placed you can maye up your
mind that war is more imminent than It
is at present They will not be put in
position until the last moment, for how
ever good the mine. IL is always liable TO
become unless through the action OF the
water.
I'VE are not going 10 risk the useful
ness Of expensive explosives by prema-
ture submersion. All these torpedoes
can be laid in twenty-four hours. II we
laid them now they would not only be
liable to corrosion but everybody on the
island would have an idea of their posi-
tons.
THE delicate nature OF these defence
torpedoes seems hardly to have been re-
alizd by theorists as TO the Maine explo-
sion. 1t is incomprehensible TO me that
the Spanish Government In times of peace
allowed h.gh-power torpedoes 10 LEI at
the mercy Of the water in Havana harbor
1t would be against the judgment Of all
experts and the practice Of all govern
ments. for nowadays these weapons can
be laid at the shortest notice.
Although do not think Havana was
mined, l know there are tOrpedoes in
Moro Castle and the naval arsenal that
can be put in position very quickly"
