channel of the explosives. Small boats
sent out from the investing battleships with
crews given over to the duty of finding the
mines and of removing the dangerous OBJ
structions by process Of graphing.
The artillerymen at Fortress Monroe are
drilled at frequent intervals in the work of
checkmating any attempt of the enemy to in
wade the mine fields and to drag away the
torpedoes. The drill is conducted at night, and
it is a combination of the exciting and the
picturesque. mine field is laid off, and small
government boats with crews of artillerymen
aboard undertake to approach the defensive
point under cover of the night.
The soldiers at the rapd-fire guns on shore
stand ready to open on the boats if the men
manipulating the searchghts succeed in
picking them up" If the boatmen manage
to sneak in through the darkness undiscovered
and, still undiscovered, given time to let
down their graphing hooks, they have won
the game. If. on the other hand, the search
light squad finds them coming to the mine
field. and shows them as shining mark to the
gunners, the men of the fortress are held to
have the day, or, as it should be- the
night. This searchlight and mine-feld drill
doesn't cost much, and it is important in
the game of war, the artillerymen have it over
and over again. 1t is amusement and serious
work in one.
Under a law passed recently by congress
the pay of the enlisted of the sea-coast
artillery has been increased high order Of
intelligence is needed in the service, and the
men who serve one enlistment are capable, be-
cause of the instruction they receive. OF filling
well-paying positions in civil life. The result
has been that few men have cared to re-enlist,
and Uncle Sam has been compelled to go over
the instruction work time after time with new
levies of recruits. The increase In the pay of
the men, it is believed. will hold them to the
service.

the army from the enlisted mans point Of

and, with Fort Wool, it stands as an aggressive
sentinel keeping watch over Norfolk and Rich
mond.
Across the mingling waters of the bay and
the ocean lies Cape Charles, the rough coast
of which is visible on clear days to the gunners
on Monroe's parapets but no projectiles which
their great steel-wall monsters can hurl ever

There is plan to build another government
fertilization, either the cape itself, or better
still, on a half-submerged island lying midway
OF the entrance TO the Chesapeake. AS things
are to-day, foreign feet with a pilot deserv-
ing the name on board the leading ship, could
slip into the Chesapeake under cover of a haze
while the shore artillsrymen, no matter how
watchful, would know naught of the movement
until there was nothing to fire at but the broad
wake of the vessels.
Fortress Monroe is bulwark of defense in
itself, but if the enemy's ships pass in the
night and steam for Washington, the chances
are they never will get there. for doughty
defenders of the nations capital are ready for
the fight farther up the channel and thev
stand within deadly easy range of the places of

AS far as Richmond and Norfolk are con-
cerned they are cities that can sit in conf

troubling. The main ship channel at the
mouth of the James is within easy great-gun

there are many such men in the artillery

that their brother artillerymen at Fort Wool

for trick ballots and fake candidates
in the Wilson counties he would have
stood most excellent chance Of cleo

BY the operation OF the new trick
ballots and some fake candidates the
Democrats, have retained control of the
Senate and have gained control of the
House by a substantial majority. In
both houses they have over three-fifths
maiorities. which are sufficiently large
to enable them TO enact legislation pre-
liminary to submitting another suffrage
amendment to the people two years
hence. Whether they win take this
step is another question. Some of the
leaders in the counties are willing to

SNELLENBURCS

All speculation as TO who bought the

street, was set at rest this morning
when David Snellenburg~ announced
that the property had been bought by
n. Snellenburg and Company, of Phil
adelphia, who conduct tho big stores
in Philadelphia, this city and Balti-
more.
Mr.. Snellenburg said that no plans
have been made for the use Of the
building by n. Snellenburg and Com
pany. Tho tenants of the building
have leases. IL was pointed out, and
nothing will be done until after the
leases expire.
The property was bought IN the
name of Charles C. Kurtz. tho well
known real estate dealer. II has been
generally stated that the purchase was
for the Snollenburgs, but all concern
ed declined to say anything about II
until to-day.
It IS expected that Snellenburg and
| Company eventually will enlarge then
store by taking in the Smith Building
which adjoins the present store.
