Although some tlmo ago Il appeared

oped that a fight win salmost surely

drawn In such manner that many

some of the former supporters OF
Michael Rannon, the late John G.

said to have lined up with Gen. Frank
A. Bond, who is likely TO contest the
control of the district in conjunction
with nr. II. A, Hammond, who is a
candidate for the State senate. Others
who are supporting nr. Wells in the
district are Rruner h. Anderson, u. X.

the Second and Sixth (AneapoliSl

There is also an interoSting situa-
tion In the Third district, where
County Treasurer Alton n, Arnold is
rollod upon by the anti. Wells forces
to make fight. MIR. Arnold was for-
merly n political friend OF nr. Wells
aud was elected as treasurer upon the
ticket nominated by that element in
'05. and declared by the courts To be
the regular Democratic ticket. Since
then, however. they have become es-

MEMORIAL DAY.
Observed As 6eneraI Holiday Many Build.
ingS Show colors.

Memorial day was observed today in
Annapolis as general holiday. All
work at the Naval Academy was sus-
pended, and many OF the midsnipmen
we've given liberty in town and visited
friends. The State and municipal OH
ees, banks. federal Offices and stores were
closed. and work was generally sus-
pended throughout the town.
The custom OF the observance of the
dayin its Strictest sense seems To he
fast dying out and the strewing of
graves with flowers is left only in the
hands of few. There is no more
oratory, no more speech making at
the national or naval cemeteries here,
no more recitations "Gou Pat No
Flowers on My Papa's Grave;' no
more essays on the Blue and the
Gray; no more dissertations on I'm
der the Laurel the Blue under the
Willow, the Gray, etc.
All this is past and gone and to
day only handful of G.. 4. II. men
met at Arundel Hall. West street.
with another handful of eN-soldiers
and sailors and few marines and
together they walked silently to the
graves in the national and naval
cemeteries aud strewed few ilowers.
AnNAA tNA WAS AT AAt HtRlt impressive
and was not without fervoT because OF
the lack of ostentation. IL is a matter
for deep regret that Memorial Day
has departed from the purpose for
which it was at first intended-to a
day of sports and pleasure.
The Bricklayers, Plasterers and
Masons Union today decorated the
graves OF two deceased members at
the City Cemetery. and loving hands
silently strewed the graves of rela-
tives and friends with flowers. \ few
flowers were scattered TO the waves
from the Santee wharf at the Naval
Academy in memory of those who
were lost at sea.
There were two games of baseball
at st. Johns College, one in the
morning and one in the afternoon.
between the severn Club of Annapo-
lis, and the Severn Athletic club Of
Baltimore.
There was a dance at Boucher s-
on-the-Spa this afternoon and Will
be one tonight, and the Annapolis
Gun Club held merchandise shoot
at the club grounds this afternoon for
which prizes will be awarded.
A national salute of twenty one
guns was fired at noon today at tho

NAVY UNIFORM BARRED.
Bfue.Jackets IusuIted By Discrimination al
Jamestown.

The navy uniform has been insulted
again, and If Admiral Evans had his
way the retaliation would be the with
drawal OF every war vessel from the
jamestown Exposition.
The naval exhibit is one of the chief
features of the ter-centennial, so that
it is not likely that such drastic ac-
tion will be taken, particularly in
view of the fact that the exposition
authorities have disclaimed all respon-
sibility for the insult aud are doing
what they can to correct it.
The incident complained of, which
has been the subject of formal CON-
plant to Secretary Metcalf, occurred
about two weeks ago at Pine Beach
Park, resort outside the exposition
grounds, over which the management
of the jamestown show has no juris-
dictioD. While the United States
ship Truxton was of Pine Beach some
of the sailors went 10 the park and
applied for admittance TO the dancing
pavilion, bat because they were in
