Selling War Continues.

Another chapter in the selling race feud
between A. L. Aste and c. Fellowes, jr,
followed the running Of the fifth race
Aste's colt Garrett Wilson was the winner.
He was entered to be sold for $1,000. Fell
loves promptly called a bid of 81 800. One
bid settled it, as there was no protecting
bid from ASte, and Garrett Wilson was
knocked down to Fellowes.
Esperance was one of the Sanford cast
offs last fall, and was bought by H. r.
Schaffer for few hundred dollars. She had
run only one race before in Schaffer s
hands, and that was here last fall Schaffer
was rather disappointed at the price about
the flly, as he expected to get 50 to against
her. AS it was he and r. d. Meyer wager
ed enough at an average price of II to to
win sieveral thousand dollars on the race.
This is the first winner trained in the east
by W. P. Maxwell, an old-time western
trainer, and inventor of one of the many
starting gates that have at different times
been in use

ROTATION IN STATIONS.
New Policy Adopted by the Navy Gen
eral Board.

It is probable that Rear Admiral b. j..
I.amberton, commander-in-chief OF the
South Atlantic squadron, who has been
pronounced by medical survey as unit FOR
service on account of his eye sight and
now on his way home, will be succeeded
nv Rear Admiral Charles j. Barclay, now
commander of the navy yard, Puget Sound
This particular command is one regarded
as likely to prove much more important IN
the near future than 1t has been in the
past. This is due to the policy which the
navy general board has adopted OF alter
mating the various sQuadrons on their sta
tions. Thus it is an order next spring for
the present South Atlantic squadron to pro-
ceed to the Caribbean, replacing the present
suuadron and in the course of year or
two Admiral Barclays ships will probably
be flying their pennants in the Mediter-
ranean. This policy Of alienation Will, 1t
Is believed do much to overcome the re-
luctance of naval officers to accept service
on far away and undesirable stations, TOR
they will understand that that service will
proba bly, be for not more than one year,
when a transfer to a better station Is GER
tain.

ltshed by a news agency In the United
States yesterday that a lieutenant of cav
airy has been sentenced to a months i'm

Minister Hardy the latter was going to
the palace to attend a diplomatic recep-
ton is incorrect.
The facts in the case are that during a
recent reception at the palace by the king
a detachment of cavalry commanded by a
lieutenant was directed to supervise the
arrival of the carriages in the courtyard
of the palace. The lieutenant had a lively
discussion with Minister Hardy concern
ing the place at which his carriage would
await him. The discussion had no seri-
Gus consequences. The statement that
the lieutenant was arrested is untrue.

STATE HOUSE, ANNAPOLIS, Md, jan
uary 28-There was no election in the bal
lot for senator at Annapolis today. The
vote was as follows: Rayner, 81; Smith, 32;
Carter, Il; Jackson, 3; Miles 4; McComas,
81. Necessary to choice, Ga
No change was indicated by the vote cast,
but there are many signs that something
will be done before long. Many of the sup
porters Of Ex-Governor Smith are beginning
to realize that Mr.. German does not intend
to allow their candidate to be elected II ne
can prevent it. Most of these members are
really German men, and when they get
word from Washington in definite way
they will vote for the candidate preferred
by the senator.
Today the friends of Smith are expressing
their feelings of disappointment over the
failure of the caucus last night to take up
their man. They are openly accusing MT.
German of bad faith and treachery 10
smith and in some instances are threaten
ing vengeance.
Democratic Leaders Divided.
The democratic leaders are divided as
never before in the history of their party
and do not know what to do Ihey con-
fess they are at sea- But it is expected tnat
when Senator German puts on pressure
they will all get together. What the sena-
tors game is they admit they don t know,
nor do they know how he intends to play IL
out. If Smiths followers stand nrm tne
deadlock will last for some time put IL 10

from him before the end of the week ana
also that there will be break IN the RAY

Large Crowd Present.
There was a large crowd here today, ana
the interest in the contest seems on the IN
crease.
The appointment of Major Clinton L.
Riggs as adjutant general of the state OF
MARYLAND to succeed the late John s.
Saunders was confirmed today in the senate
without objection of any sort. 1t was rather
expected that some opposition would oeVeiop

This did not materfaliZe. however, nor
