GROWS EXCITING
Advocates of the Constellation
Ordinance Are Still
Hopeful.

The struggle between the adVo-
Gates and opponents of the Manches-
ter annexation ordinance grows
warmer WITH each succeeding day
The situation at this time Is in
dicated by the fact that the special
committees that prepared the con-
s4liaat4aa- agreement are unwilling
to place the measure before the
council OF either city. They fear IL
will he defeated.
At the same time they are hopeful,
believing that there is Il good pros
peet for winning over some of the
opponents of the ordinance, sufii-
cient in number to form majority
In each branch of the Richmond
council.
The committeeman realize, how
ever, that this work will take time.
hence they are withholding the ordi-
nance for the present.
The advocates of annexation
charge biuntly that one of the
strongest elements of the opposition
is the body OF office holders. This
allegation is denied by the Office
holders. and by the citizens who are
lighting the consolidation proposition
The statement has been made thai
II the Richmond and Manchester
councils vote down the measure the
business organizations will set about
securing a list of qualified voters to
demand a popular election. The law
gives one-fourth of the voters the
right to enforce a popular verdict
regardless of the Gouncils1 action

DIES IN PHILIPPINES.
Walter G.. Mathews. Had a Varied Ca
reer In Army.

Especial to The Richmond Virginian.)
ROANOKE. Feb 3.--Walter G..
Mathews. whose death In the Philip
pines has just been reported here,
was a native of this section of Vir-
ginia. He had an eyentfui career.
After serving in the Spanish Ameri-
can war and the Philippines, he re-
turned to America and was en-
ployed in San Francisco by the
Wells-Fargo Express Company
Not long ago his relatives here
heard that he was In Cape Town.
South Africa, having gone there as
supercargo on one of the steamers
OF the Brazil steamship Company.
The fact that he died in the Philip
pines leads to the conclusion that
he must have recently re-enlisted in
the service. He was at one time In
the artillery branch of the army.
Mr.. Mathews was twenty-nine years
of age and Is survived by several
brothers and one sister.

RAD|UM MAY BE
 FOUND nOT FAR
 FROM TUCSON
Austrian Mining Expert Re- ports That the Indications Are Better Than at Any Other Point.

TUCSON. Aug. 5.-- B. c. Brichta. head of the Santa Rosa Mining com pany. returned Tuesday night from his mines in the Santa Rosa valley and reports a prosperous condition of affairs both i'm mining and farming. in that vicinity.
 MT Brichta said tha. a number of claims are being worked in Santa Ro- sa vicinity. and indications are excel lent. He is confident of making a rich strike II the property he IS de- veloping, and states that when the strike comes he will put in a mining camp that will be thoroughly up to date in every particular.
 It develops that some excitement has been caused in the Santa Rosa district by the recent visit of an Aus trian mining expert, who stopped n the valley while ea route to the Port Lobos region. This expert examined the pitchhiende in the Santa Rosa valley, and pronounced it to be the most promising for radium of any in either California or Arizona winch had come under his observation.
 As radium is by far the most val uable metal known to exist. there Is reason for excitement at the mere possibility of having it in any quan. tity. The present market value is something Ike S9o00.00O per pound because of its scarcity in the entire world. It would therefore not take many pounds to put miners and pros peetors in comfortable circumstances. some of the pitchblende from the dis trlct has been brought to Tucson and Will be tested. The indications are 'hat the present chances for finding radium are better than any hereto fore reported
