6efused to Pay the Reward

Rockville, Md. May 16.-The county
commissioners have refused to sign the
petition of H. o. Emmons, by which they
would waive their right to half the fines
collected from persons convicted for the
selling of Intoxicating liquors at the
March term of court. Mr.. Emmons is
Grand Chief Templar of the |. o. G. 7.
of Maryland He was employed as a de-
tective for the anti-saloon league of this
county, to secure evidence against the
violators of the local-option law in the
county. The fines collected at his in
stance amounted TO about 81, ,090 Upon
the trying of these cases Mr.. Emmons
was asked by the counsel for the defense
whether he had any hopes of receiving
any compensation for his evidence
He replied that he was not prompted
in the course which he had taken by any
hopes of reward. Upon the fines being col
lected by the sheriff he filed an applica~
ton for half, as is due in case of an in
former who states that he does so for the
reward; but the sheriff refused the money
on the grounds that there were no in
stFuctions from the court that he. EN-
mons, should be given half the fines. but
was of the impression that he had waived
thai right in his examination at the trials
by answering as above.

AN IMPORTANT PRECEDENT.
Court Decision Which Rears on n
Contested Election Case

In the contested election case of Will
liam E. Ryan vs.. Hon. Henry c. Brew
ster, which is now pending in the House
of Representatives the New York Su-
preme Court has established an impor-
tant precedent.
In April, 1898, the common council and
mayor of Mount Vernon. y. Y. decided
to use the Myers ballot .lachine. Ex-May-
or Hon. E. f. Brush mandamused the
council and mayor for the use of the bal
lot boxes and ballots. The case came up
before a special session of the Supreme
Court Judge Dykeman decided that the
Myers ballot machine was unconstitution-
al. This decision was confirmed by the
appellant division on May 2 1885, These
decisions sustain Mr. Ryan's contention
that the use of the Myers ballot ma
chine, through which he was defeated, is
unconstitutional.

sPA1N's SUBMARINE DEFENsEs.
Havana's Mines Can be Passed With
Little Difficulty

New York, May 16.-More than the
usual amount of attention is being given
now in the United States Navy to des-
troying submarine mines. The recent
operations of Admiral Dewey before Ma
Mia have proved conclusively that it is
possible, under cover of darkness, to
run" a field of mines without injury
The harbor of Havana, however, is far
better protected, and, it is argued, the
experience of the Spanish at Manila is
likely to induce them to make improve
ments in the submarine defenses of Ha-
vana harbor.
Three different methods of destroying a
mine field are known to the Navy. The
one most frequently used is a process OF
countermining. The other methods are
known as sweeping and Creeping ("
Sweeping" as a rule. is only carried out
at night, or when the shore batteries are
silent. Countermining can be done under
fire, and frequently is Creeping can be
done from a small boat, and frequently
has been accomplished under fire.
Countermining consists in the destruc-
ton of a mine field by laying a fresh line
of mines across it and exploding them
An ordinary line of countermining con-
sists of twelve 500-Dound mines of the
same pattern as those used by the War
Department for observation mines. The
cable to which they are attached, and by
which they are fired, consists of a main
line l,440 feet in length into which are
forked six branches. As a rule the coun-
termines are placed aboard an ordinary
service launch which is towed by a fast
steamboat, not infrequently torpedo
