would not be a candidate last fail be-
cause he wanted to run for mayor. Col.
Harwood is in the wholesale business.
He used to be a commercial traveller. lie

Church.
When he decided TO be candidate he
climbed up Capitol AIN to the city hail
and entered the mayors Office.
Hello. Dick" he said
Hello. john replied his honor. Take
a seat"
The colonel did So He did not sit stin
long. He moved about in his chair un-
easily and glanced at the pictures of
former mayors on the wall. Meanwhile
the mayor looked over his mail
How are your people, John?" asked
Nj. Taylor.
Pretty well. thank YOU" was the re-
ply 'How's yours?"
''All we'll
Have a cigar?''
mo, thanks; l never smoke"
There was silence for a few moments.
Then the colonel broke the stiffness.

The mayor did not answer immediate

extending his hand to the colonel:
Every man IN town has right to run
for mayor. and / am glad that YOU are

Capt. Reeve has a fine war record and
has served the city as an alderman for
number of years.
A peculiar fact In connection with the
mayoralty race is that Mr.. Taylor is
Presbyterian, Col Harwood a Baptist,
and Capt Reeve q Methodist. These de-
nominations are each strong here and
each win stick by the candidate of its
faith
1t is believed the real fight will be be-

THREE WANT TO Be MAYOR
A Lively Municipal Contest Is
Promised i'm Richmond.
TT is BETWEEN DEMOCRATS
The Incumbent. who VIII Seek q
denomination Tells Colonel Har-
wood That He Is Glad He Is
Going in the Race-Captain Reeve
VIII Run Again.

Richmond. Va. Feb. 1s.-The contest for
this city has already been begun. There
are now three aspirants Hon. Richard Nj.
TAYLOR. the incumbent; Col. John S. Har-
wood. and Capt. Payson S. Reeve.
Mr.. Taylor has been mayor for two
terms. He says that he will go into the
primary on his record, and that he wants
no one 10 vote for him who does not
think that he has made a good chief
executive and is entitled to reelection
Mr.. Taylor is a man of great popularity.
He is called "Dick" by two-thirds of the
people, and he likes the name. When he
goes along the street he has a good word
for everybody, and he knows personally
at least one in every ten men he meets.
Two years ago Capt. Reeve was the only
other mayoralty aspirant. Mr.. Taylor
won easily in the primary. His first term
was not characterized by any unusual
incident His second term has been diff
ferent. There was strong retrenchment
and reform element in the city council.
There had been 4 growing belief for some
time that the city's expenses had been
too high, and the Democrats willingly
joined with the reformers TO reduce
municipal expenses. A committee was APP
pointed TO cut down the salaries of city
employees. Their acts had to be approved
by the city council, and sanctioned by
the mayor. There was a certain ele-
ment that feared that Mayor Taylor
would not approve n reduction in the
salaries. To ascertain his feelings in the
matter a member of the committee went
20 him and assured him that it was not
the intention of the committee to reduce
his $500 salary, but 1t would cut all
the others. This intelligence was i'm
parted confidentially TO get Mayor Tay-
lor to sanction the reductions in the
salaries OF other city officials and en-
ploSes.
''took here" replied Mr.. Taylor. when
the city father called upon him. tYou
don't think j viii consent to any such
agreement"
"Why?" queried the committeeman.
IF you are going to cut salaries in a
way that meets with my approval, you've
got TO begin with mine" said the mayor.
I'VE think you are getting little enough
now" ventured the committeeman.
well, that may be, but / am getting a
great deal more than that 'whitewings'
crowd" asserted the mayor. You should
not reduce any of those poor fellows sal
aries. CutHonly US well-paid officials"
Ever since then Mr.. Taylor has been
held in higher regard by the worl1ingmen
than he had been before.
Col. Harwood has long had the mayor
atty bee buzzing in his head. lie has been
in the legislature for many terms, and
made himself popular there by being the
patron Of number of measures for the

Metropolitan Rifles Want Their Wal

A petition to Congress is being prepared
by several members of the Metropolitan
Rifles, a District militia organization,
which went out of existence in 1861. 1t
will recite that the company was sworn
into the service of the United States
early in 1851. and did duty guarding the
public buildings and approaches to the
city before the arrival of State troops
The Rifles were finally mustered out
upon the arrival here of the Garibaltli
Guard. in July. 1861, in order that their
arms and equipments might be turned
over to that organization, composed of
Italians. Some of the Metropolitan RI.
hemen were thus mustered out two, three
and four days before they had served the
requisite ninety days which would en-
title them to apply for pensions.

Theory OF suh uhmarine Mine.


Theory of Submarine Mine.
Provided that the mine was laid before
the arrival of the Maine in harbor. the
simplest suDposition of all is that the
ship was blown up by a submarine mine.
The word mine is generally associated
with digging. but a submarine mine is
nothing more than a stationary torpedo.
A hundred Of them may lie at the bot
tom OF the Havana harbor and the world
is none the wiser, The mine is q cylin-
drical case of metal moored 10 the bot
tom BY sinkers and ropes and connected
with the shore by means OF wires over
which an electric current can be sent by
the pressing of a telegraph key by some
hidden operator. The mine charge IS Of
guncotton. which has taken universal
precedence of dynamite. The explosive
substance Is packed in number of cop
per cases, through each one of which
runs the wire.
The mine does not have TO come into
contact with the ship. The shore opera
tor has only to know the exact situation
of the mine, TO press the key and to send
a ship and it's crew into eternity. The
fact that the Maine was not blown high
into the air, and that 1t did not imme
diately sink is the best evidence against
the claim that il was destroy
ed by mine. None of the survivors of
the explosion tell of a column of water
spouting into the air at the sides of the
ship. A mine explosion without such an
upheavaf of the water would be remark
able and only accounted for If the mine
was within few feet of the vessels bot
tom when fired.
In the Chinese War.
The torpedo was studied in actual war
during the Japan-China embroglo. The
most disastrous results of the single great
naval battle of that war was due TO a
torpedo attack. An English naval officer
on board the Chinese ship Ting Yuen. fl
we ceased firing and just then | saw
dark object, probably about half a milo
away. Fire was opened on it and l ran
up the standard compass erection to get
better view. Through my glasses L saw
a double funneled torpedo-boat coming
end on for us. When she was about 305
yards off she turned hard aport As she
turned l saw that we had hit her badly,
as lot of steam was to be seen. \ few
seconds afterward she turned We were
hit on the Quarter. The shock was a
heavy. quiyering one, such as / should
imagine an earthquake would be like
The sound of the explosion was large
dull thud. A column of water dashed on
board. There was faint, sickIy smell
from the explosion.
The ship, though stove in, did not sinlt
for several hours. and it's actions during
the time it was filling We're according TO
the description almost similar to those
of the Maine.

resembles the Brennan. except that its
conducting power is electricity. an agency
which also fires the charge.

In the explosion, which was effected in
n variety OF ways. there as much
peril for the crew of the torpedo-boat as
for that of the war giant above.
