How Senator Raines Proposes to
{
Stop It. '
TO WITHDRAW PRIVILEGE
Attempt; to be Made to Amend the Law
by Prohibiting Sales in Hutu-ls and Res-
taurants—Serious Difficulties Caused by
This Section of the Law.
Albany, N. Y., Jan. 17.—-Senator
John Raines, the author oftthc preSent
liquor tax law, has announced that he
is preparing an important amendment
to meet the serious difficulties that
have arisen in the cities of the state.
and especially in New York, with ref-
erence to Sunday selling in hotels.
He proposes to strike out section 31
of the Rallnes law, which gives author-
ity to hotels, clubs and restaurants to
sell liquor with food on Sunday.
This, if stricken out, will stop all
Sunday selling, and will“ prevent abso—
lutely because of the strict penalties
provided, any sale of wine, liquor, beer
or other intoxicant with meals.
Senator Raines says that the people
have upheld his act by their votes at
the polls, and that there does not seem
to be any other way than this which
he now proposes, 'to end 'the frequent
complalints that Sunday violations are
permitted by the liquor law.
He says that he has collected a vast
amount of statistics on the subject of
Sunday selling under guise of furnish-
ing food with liquor, and that he is
satisfied that there is no way in which
complaints can be stopped except byv
taking away the privilege which hotels,
clubs and restaurants have abused.
Pay of BIustered-out , l‘roops.
Albany, N. Y., Jan. 17.—-Governor
Roosevelt announced yesterday that he
"was in correspondence with the United
States military authorities in’ reference
to the payment of the First and Sixty-
ninth regiments.
The men mustered out of the service
after January 1, under the ruling of
the federal authorities, will not receive
as much as those who were mustered
out prior to that date, by the difference
between federal and state pay.
. The governor proposes that the fed-
eral authorities repay to New York
state the difference in the money paid
to the men mustered out before Janu—
ary 1, 11d, if this is refused, he asks
that the men mustered out after Janu-
ary 1 be paid like rthe others, and pro-
mises that then no rebate will be ask-
ed. .
If no satisfactory arrangement can
.be made the governor proposesthat
the state shall make an appropriation
to pay the men.
Dr. Doty Reappointed.

bute.

conscious.

afternoon and the guards at the House
of Refuge traced his footsteps to the
river.
Boats were launched and a searching
party started out, but the officials of

ing, even if he had not, indeed, com-
mitted suicide.

him 5 e sent for his mother, who had
him placed in the House of Refuge“

NEWS FROM HAVANA.
The New Police ForceuArrlval of the
Manitoba.
Havana, Jan. 7.--General Monocal
and Captain McCullagh are examining
three hundred applicants for positions
011 the police force here.
About eighty patrolmen have been
accepted so far, and of this number
about thirty are Spaniards.
General Menocal is acting fairtly to-
ward the Spanish candidates. If phys-
ically and morally up to the standard
they are accepted. Some former Span-
ish officers are among the applicants.
Two lieutenants accepted appoint-
ments as patrolmen Saturday.
The height required, five feet six
inches, shuts out many applicants, in-
cluding a lot of General Mcnocal’ s men.-
Thc fo1cc will be selected, in the main,
'by the end of the week.
The weakest part of the system is
the pay. Fifty dollars a. month for pa-
trolmen is reg. rded as too little money
for first class honest men. San Juan
de Ponto Rico pays $75 a month.
The question of raising the pay of
patrolmen here to that amount is un-
der consideration.
The first piles have been d1iven for
the construction of the United States
pier at Triscornia. Colonel Hecker
was present.
The' construction of seven warehous-
es is beginning at the railroad termi-
nal line.

are at work.’
Senor Alfrtdo ch0 has applied to
General Ludlow for the privilege of
inspecting cattle entering this port
and collectfing. fees for so doing, in
Spanish style. His application was not
considered. '

toba from Savannah on January 8, has

Mr. Dingley-‘srlt‘uueral.
\Vashington, D. C. Jan. 17. --The fu-
ne1al se1vices 0ve1 the body of Repre-
sentative Nelson Ding ley of Maine,
late chairman of the committee .011
ways and means, were held in the hall
of the House of Repiesentatives yes-
terday.
, President McKinley, his cabinet, dis—
tinguished membe1s of the diplomatic
corps, membels of the supreme court,
senatms and representatives, and per-
sons distinguished in military and civd
- life were present.
The decorations of the hall were sim-
ple. Upon and around the coffin, which
was placed immediately in front of the
.rostrum, were placed a few of the most
beautiful and most appropriate floral
offerings which had been sent to the
family.
At the close of the services Mr. Bou-
telle moved that the House adjourn
as a further mark of respect.
The motion was adopted, and accor-
dingly, at 12.55 p. m., the speaker de—
clared the House adjourned.
The Senate held no session for the
transaction of business.
Great Britain’s Attitude.
London, Jan.17.--Diplomats here re.-
fuse 'to take seriously the revival of
the report cabled from Washington,
that the United States is willing to ex—
change the Philippine islands for the
British \Vesvt Indian islands. A high
official of the foreign office“character-
‘lzed the statement as absurd. He said
that while the continental powers ap-
peared to be willing to permit the Uni-
ted tates to hold the Philippines as
spoils of war, they would not be likely
to remain passive spectators of a
change in the balance of power in the
far East which would result from
Great Britain’s acquirement of those
islands, particularly so at this critical
time in the struggle for domination in
China.
If such negotiations are on foot the
officials of the United States embassy
here have no knowledge of them.
Old IVar Claim Just Presented.
Teire Haute, Jan. ”ls—Captain Wil-
lio m Taylor of this city has forwarded
to V7ashington a claim}. against the
government for $72,500. During the
civil war he was engaged in building a
canal from a bayou to the Mississippi
river near New Orleans, and when Far-
ragut ran the forts and-entered the
river Taylor offered his services and
the use of his light draught vessels.
The offer was immediately accepted,
for the presence of a pilot who knew
the shallow waters was invaluable. He
served as pilot for the' federal govern-
ment until the'close of the war. He
went to Washington once during the
war to present, his claim, but returned
without doing so. ’
It is now in the hands of Represe11ta-_
tive George W. Faris.
Krupp (ions for Turkey.
Constantinople, Jan. '17.—-An imperi-
al order has been issued, ordering the
purchase of 162 Krupp field guns and
thirty thousand shrapnel shells. This
;is undoubtedly the outcome of the pre-
sentation to.,..-the sultan of. Turkey by
Emperor William on his return from
the Orient, of a perfect model of the
most modern Krupp field gun introduc—
ed into the German army.
The German newspapers at the time
commented approvingly on the emper-
or’s shrewdness, which, they predicted,
would result- in Turkey sending a large
order for guns to Germany.
- Russian Diem Opened.
Berlin, Jan. 17.--The Prussian diet
was opened yesterday with a speech
from the throne, in which Emperor
William declaredthat the financial sit-
uation continued favorable, the bases
,of both political and national life being
.soundly established and the prosperity
of the country visibly growing.
He regarded the future with confi—
dence and mentioned the measures
which would be introduced to extend
the state railroads and navigable "ca-
nals.
The emperor read his speech and
was repeatedly interrupted by cheers.

A few medals of honor have been
awarded to soldiers, but the general
question of awarding medals has not
come up for final consideration.
It was necessary, to'dispose of the
brevets in the Cuban campaign firsc
that the requirements of the law might
better be observed in selecting candi-
dates for the other distinguishing
'mark of recognition.
Some personal act of bravery of an
unusual character to which there are
eye witnesses is the requirement for
. an honor medal.

have been zealous in attempting to pro-
cure for himlsuch a mark of honor.

The list submitted in the case of the

Earth Sank \Vithout '\Varning.
Scranton, Pa., Jan. 17.--Saturday eve-o
nving a cave in occurred in the neigh-
borhood of the Ravine shaft in upper
Pittston. There have been a number
of cave ins at this place and every
time it occurs there is considerable
damage. 5
On Saturday night the earth sank
without warning d‘hd there was a great
deal of commotion and excitement.
This place is undermined, and it is
no unusual thing for the surface to
crack, walls to crumble and houses to
be swallowed up.
Two houses were badly shaken. The
cave in also caused the breaking of
the water main and for a time it look-
ed as if the whole of upper Pittstou
would be flooded. The break was re—
paired, but it was some hours later be-
fore the people could again procure
water from their hydrants.
This mine has not been worked for
some [time on account of a fire raging
within and beneath the surface.
The damage cannot be estimated at
present, but great fears are entertain-
ed regarding future cave ins.

DREYFUS DECISION AT HAND.

“as Not. Pmned (-uilty.
Pails, Jan. 16. --Tl1e termination of
the inquiry into the Dreyfus case by
the court of cuss alt on is expected any
moment. _
The Matin and the Gaulois express
belief that the verdict will be that! a
traitor existed, but that it was not
proved that the traitor was Dreyfus,
who will consequently be sent to an-
other court martial for trial.
The Marin Says that Dreyfus be-
lieves that the revision of his case was
due to the exertions of the general
staff and that he has even thanked
General de Boisdeffie and his foxmer
comrades in the aimy for their efforts
in hi 1s behalf.
M. de Leaurepaire, writing to th(
Echo de Pa ris, expresses the opinion
that Thursday’s debate in the Chamber
of Deputies renders it impossible for
the court of cessation to proclaim
Dreyfus innocent.
The court of cassmion has again ex—
amined tax-Lieutenant Colonel du Paty

It is stated that the court will be
asked on January 17 to give a decision
upon the question whether Colonel

Launch Lost in the Gulf.
Louisville, Ky. Jan. 16.-—La.wrence
Jones, the distiller, has become con-
vinced that his naphtha launch Paul
Jones has been lost in the Gulf of
Mexico, and that all on board were
lost.
On the launch were Colonel Harry

Yocum, his daughter; Miss farjorie
\Vondland of 335 Oakland Boulevard,

of whom was oseph Brinkman of Lou—

The launch, loaned by Mr. Jones to
Colonel Yocum, left Louisville early in
December 1‘01 a trip to Florida. The
launch, which was yacht iig ged, left
Nev Oileans lo1 Pensalola January' .3,
since \\ hich time no tidings have been
leceived.
Ml. Jones has exhausted every re-
source to obtain news. Every gulf
port has been notified and every in-
coming vessel met with inquiries. -
A yacht has been chartered by Mr.
Jones at one hundred dollars a day to
cruise along the coast. Mr. Jones says
that he has given up all hope although
the search is still going on.
Thalaunch cost $18,000. It was sixty—
five feet long and ten feet beam, and
had a. speedof twelve miles an hour.
It had three lavishly furnished state
rooms, hot and .cold baths and an elec-

. Largest Steamship Afloat.
Belfast, Ire., Jan. 16.—-The new W’hite
Star lino steamship Oceanic, the larg- ‘
est vessel of that company’s fleet, was
successfully launched here Saturday
afternoon.
The Oceanic was built for comfort
and regularity rather than for speed.
The ship’s lines are perfect, but her
engines are not powerful enough to.
conStitu-te her a racer. Still, it is not
- likely that she will be much behind the
record.
The Oceanic is now the biggest ves-
sel in existence, and the longest ever
built. She was exceeded in size by
only one ship. that ever was launched,
and that was the Great Eastern. She
exceeds the Great Eastern in length
by twenty-four'feet, but is neither so
wide nor so deep.

Aguinaldo's Spanish Prisoners.
\Vashington, D. 0., Jan. 16.--The
Spanish government has again called
the attention of the United States gov~
ernment to the provision of the treaty
of peace that the United States will
use its efforts to secure the release of
Spanish subjects who are held as pris-
oners by Aguinaldo’s forces in the
Philippines, and has asked what has
been done to comply with that agree-
ment. 0
A reply has been sent to Spain that
this government is doing all that can
be done to secure their release.
This is the second inquiry of the
kind made by Spain. Owing to the at-
titude of Aguinaldo it is_impossible to
secure the release of the Spaniards
held by his troops, ut Major General
Otis is not relaxing is efforts to carry
out the instructions of the war de-
partment to make every endeavor to
have the prisoners rc-éased.
