VIII Change Their Votes,
But More Are Needed
A Costly Primary.

At the meeting OF the City Democratic
Committee next Friday night an EFFORT
win be made to reconsider the vote
whereby the primary plan was adopted.
with q view OF amending the plans so as
to reduce the cost OF the election.
It will be recalled that there are TO be
two judges and two clerks at each pre-
cinct and each OF these officers is to be
paid $50 for his services. a conservative
estimate OF the cost OF the election is $50
for each precinct. This will make tho
assessment upon the candidates como
very high.
There arc three members OF the COM
mittee who voted for the provision re-
rerred to who are in favor Of reducing
the expenses, but more votes are needed.
JACKSON WARDS DEMANDS.
When the plan came up it was sug-
gested that as the Democrats in Jackson
Ward would probably vote for only can
didates for the general cfiices there would
be no need OF four officials al each pre-
cinct. Inc Jackson Ward members OF
the committee demanded that they 10
given everything accorded 10 the other
wards and they won.
At the last municipal primary thero
were 500 votes polled In Jackson Ward
not as many as were cast az First Clay.
Fourth Clay. First Marshal and some
other precincts There will not be as
many votes in Jackson Ward this year
as al First Clay. and II will cost nearly
afty cents 10 poll each vote In Jackson
A DOLLAR \ VOTE.
Tho Second Precinct OF jackson Ward
polled forty-two votes at the last pri-
mary. II that number IS increased to
nry this year II will cost 81 for each
voter to conduct the election at this pre-
cinct.
The cost of the election at First jack
son will be about 70 cents for each vote
that will be poiled.
Unless the plan Is changed this VIII be
the most costly primary Richmond
Democrats have ever had.

WRECKING CONTRACT SIGNED.
Reports of Sensational Orders To Troops
at all Forts Denied by Gen. Miles.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Feb. 22.-All the
Governments departments were closed In
Washington to-day, save tho Navy De-
par,meut. where a few Of the officials
assembled 20 receive any dispatches tnat
might arrive and 10 close the contract
with The wreckers for the recovery OF
the eyects on the Maine and the vessel
herself If that be practicable. The siSi-
ing OF The wrecking contract was the
most important event Of the day and
this conclrCed the officials closed up shop
and went home TO enjoy a respite from
the rush OF the past week
Captain SlcsOee was heard from In
dispatch which indicates that close at
tention will be given TO the coal bunkcrs
by the naval court OF inquiry ut Ha-
vaLa.
Officials unquestionably have been for
some time preparing for any emergency
that may arise. but appearances az me
department to-day would indicate that ali
necessary orders have already been
given. and that the situation was not one
calling for immediate activity az Wash
ington.
The Castine and Cincinnati, in accord
ance with orders made known some time
ago by the Associated press, are TO move
further north 10 West Indian waters. and
at Norfolk the monitor Terror has been
ordered 10 be In readiness, and may be
sent TO New York later.
Tho Senate prepared a bin 20 add two
artillery regiments 20 the strength OF
the army. This measure has been urged
for many months by officials of the War
Department who foresaw that while
Congress OF late years had taken meas
ures for the protection Of our coasts by
considerable appropriations for defensive
works. and great guns II had not pro-
vided the men necessary TO operate these
engines of war. Should the House pass
the bill Il will enable the Department to
carry out plans it has long had In view.
Criticism lately passed upon the state
OF the army and our fortihcations has
caused increased activity in military
matters and TO some extent this Is re-
sponsible for reports arriving from Va
rous quarters Of movements at army
posts.
report was circulated that General
Miles, as commander OF the army had
issued additional orders for troops az all
forts 10 be on the alert and ready for
immediate action but this was promptly
denied by the Generals chief-of-stan.
Nothing whatever Of sensational
| character occurred I'm Wash'npton and
on the whole the day was free of rumors
by comparison with its immediate pre-
| decessors for the past week or more.
