ing on the bar, and by means of life
buoys rescue the sailors from the
rigging.
In these exhibitions the various styles
of buoys, life canno. life boats and
rocket projectiles are shown. The first
part of the drill consists of a life
boat practice, in which self-righting
boats and those with double bottoms
and their compartments are used by
the men.
Under the direction of Captain H. j.
Cleary, one of the most skilled men
in the service, the boats are run out
of their house on carriages, launched

The men are made to overturn the
boats, fill them with Water-dOing all
they can to sink them-in order that
! their several virtues may be shown. OF
course all the surfmen are expert
swimmers. A humble Of muskrats

the date of its use, the locality of the
wreck and the number of people

The exhibitions given by the United

of the most instructive as well as
thrilling sights to be found at any ex-
position. The fact hat at the James,

an arm of Hampton Roads and not in
a temporary lake, as at other exposi-

interesting. On each day during

 TnsOIeut Negro.
 Conductor J. F. Jemison, of a street car on the Washington Park line, fired his revolver twice yesterday afternoon at m unknown negro who had pulled him from his car. The negro was not injured, and his identity is unknown. No charge has been preferred against Conductor Jemison.
 Roth the conductor and the negro were outside the car and the motor man and passengers. except a negro, Pink Mcqueen, were ignorant or the trouble.
 According to statement made by Conductor Jemison last night the shooting occurred about o'clock yes- terday afternoon, when the car was at the corner of Church and Catoma Streets. The negro. who was very large man, had acted insolently TO- wards the conductor. Once he had blocked the passage of the platform against a negress despite the protes- tations of the conductor who had dit1- culty in making him move Then the negro spat upon the floor and the con ductor told him to consider himself un- der arrest
 As the car approached the corner. the negro attempted to leave the car, and the conductor tried to detain him. He was caught and pulled from his car. He then drew his revolver and fired. The negro fled. When the firing oc- cured there were two white men and several negroes on the car.

FAVOR LOCAL
 OPTION BILL The Anti Saloon League Draws First Blood. TWO AMENDMENTS ARE MADE Committee Decides on Contested Measure by Close Vote. Fight, on whiskey Now to Re Trans ferred to Floor of House-Minor-
 ity Recommends Goodwin
 Substitute.

The Temperance Committee of the
 House yesterday morning decided to
 report favorabiy the local option bill.
 as endorsed by the Anti-Saloon League,
 but with certain amendments. The
 vote on the report of this bill was u
 to 8, which was closer than had been
 expected.
 NotWitnstanoing the proposed
 amendments, a minority report is prob
 able. The fight is only transferred
 from the committee to the House, and
 the House will. in ali probability, have
 flow of oratory when the measure
 comes up for it's third reading The report of the committee will be sub- mitted to the House at its Monday ses-
 sion.
 The principal amendment to the gen.
 eral bill, as distributed among the
 members, relates to the provision which declares a prohibition county shall
 not have an election after it once votes for prohibition. The amendment fa- vored by the committee is that the
 prohibition county shall be put upon the same basis as the wet counties. That IS. the counties which vote prehi- bition, after two years are subject to the same regulations as the counties which vote for the sale of whlskey. The amendment eliminates what was considered an unfair feature in the bill, and which provided that after a coun- ty had voted to go wet. 1t might have an election two years later to see if 1t would go dry, while a county that voted to be dry would have to remain dry. This proposition was considered unfair by the committee, which de- clined to give 1t an endorsement. The second amendment relates to the druggist feature of the bill. It leaves off the druggist feature to the original bill.
 It is understood the minority of eight members of the committee will submit an amendment which will favor the Goodwin bill. The original measure makes the county the unit in all elec- tions on the liquor question. The Goodwin bill makes two units in local option elections. One consists of the incorporated towns. The second unit consists of the rural districts. This bill met with considerable favor In the committed, although 1t was not
 given a majority vote.
 Under the rules of the House and Senate, majority controls all the way
 through. A majority of either House
 can take a bill from the adverse call
 endar. A majority can kill an amend ment, or a majority can pass the bill as reported by the committee. The ef- feet of the committee report will be to transfer the fight which has been going on for couple of weeks from
 the committee to the House floor.
 This fight may be pulled off Tuesday,
 and if it Is. it will be the liveliest con
 test that has yet taken place in the
 House.
