astounded, stung to the quick, that

A Favorite Game.
Contract juggling had long been
favorite game with the bold polite
ians, but other investigations had
proved farces, even when backed by
the state legislature.
Atlantic City had grown up from a
small seashore village to be recognized
as the greatest watering place in the
world. The rich opportunities for
grating We're so numerous that the
men who had controlled things in the
comparatively youthful days of the
city had become intoxicated with their
power and the plundering was grow
ing holder as the town grew.
Burns looked things over. He
searched for a man with political
strength, yet poor in worldly goods
through recent circumstances. Samuel
Phoebus, councilman from the Second
ward, filled the bill One time a lead

good mixer and accustomed to the best
O. living. Phoebus had been reduced
to poor circumstances through I'M
fortunate investments He headed the
boardwalk committee Of the resorts

the country's foremost investigator
evolved a clever scheme that would
enable him to inveigle Phoebus into
position where he would relate what
he knew of the inner workings of the
councilmanic ring and explain just
how men who went into office COM

MARINES MAY
GUARD MINES
Conditions at Daiquiri, Cuba,
Continue Bad.
IRON MINES MAY CLOSE DOWN
The 1900 Men Thrown Out Of Work
Might Be Drawn Into the Revolu-
tlonary Ranks - The Steel
Works May Be Affected.

. Washington.-S Department Off
cials are somewhat disturbed at the
Impending closure of the big mines at
DaiQuiri, which would throw about
$500 men out Of work, These unem.
ployed laborers might easily be drawn
into the revolutionary ranks, It is
also appreheuded that corresponding
Eumber OF skilled workmen may be al.
sected in the steel works in this coun-
Try which derive their ore from the
Cuban mines.
An explanation of why Captain
DAVIS, of the Paducah, did not land
marines at Daiquiri was received in
cablegram at the State Department
from the American Consul at Santiago
IT stated that the Cuban government
had established permanent garrison
of IS men at Daiquiri, where the Span
ish-American mining properties are
located. That force is probably sut-
fcient for the present to defend the
place against the insurgents. The
Pauucah is still at Daiquiri and may
hand marines to guard the mines.
Want 10000 Rifles.
The Cuban Minister Senior Riyero,
called at the State Department to
secure permission for the purchase OF
10000 stands of rifles to arm the
volunteer corps now being raised in
Cuba by the government and to en-
able the plantation owners to arm
their employees and organize into
guards TO protect their property
against pillage by the insurgents. The
request will be granted and the War
Department will have an opportunity
10 adyantageously dispose Of a guam
titv of the discarded Krag-Jorgensen
rifles. Some of these weapons were
sent TO Cuba about two years ago.
With an American guuboat station
eG on each side of the Eastern end OF
Cuba prepared to land forces at a
moments notice and ready to hasten
TO the nearest point where foreign in
terests may be threatened by the in
surrectionists in Oriente, it is beiey-
ed here that there is now not so much
danger of molestation of American
owned plantations and mining prop
critics.
Authorized To Land
But as the Cuban government has
been informed by the State Depart
rlent, American naval commanders
have been fully authorized to land
parties of marines and blueiackets
whenever there are no Cuban govern
ment forces to guard exposed planta-
tions or mining properties which may

Editor of The Herald and News:
| find that the "rumor," mentioned
in The Herald and News some days
ago. that I am a candidate for the
State senate from Newberry county,
has gained considerable currency, and,
in the minds of a number Of people,
is regarded as a fact. am not in any
way responsible for the report that
has connected my name with the can
didacy mentioned. But the constant
statement that I am a candidate for
the position may, in some way, AFFECT
the determination of some other man
who may be contemplating making the
race. Therefore, I feel that it is in
cumbent on me to set at rest the ru-
NOR referred to, by stating that 1 am
not a candidate for the senate.
1t will not be considered out of
place, l trust, for me to say that
appreciate the suggestion from SO
many people that 1 am worthy of the
high honor they propose for me, and
that am deeply grateful for the
MANY assurances of support that have
come to me.
