THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., WED LIQUOR LICENSE PROBLEMS. The Commissioners Have Hundreds of Applications to Act On. QUESTIONS ARISING UNDER THE NEW REGULA- TIONS—NEIGHSORMOODS WITH MORE SALOONS THAN NECESSARY — GENERAL PROTESTS NOT CONSIDERED—INVESTIGATIONS MADE BY THE POLICE. To-morrow is the first day of the new liquor- license year. Nearly seven hundred applica- tions for licenses have been filed with the Com- missioners. Under the new regulations the applicant is required to file his papers ten days before the beginning of the license year if he intends to continue his business without interruption. This morning not a single appli- cation had been acted upon, and consequently no saloon had been guaranteed permission to run for another year. The Commissioners have delayed action on the applications, itis said, to give every person desiring to do so a chance to enter a protest. Under the new regu- lations many saloon-keepers were required to obtain many more signatures this than heretofore. ran CORNER SALOONS. For instance, in cases where a saloon is sit- uated on the corner of two streets heretofore aaa FroPristor could gut his license to open a on either street obtaining signatures of residents and path pao on that street. In many such cases the saloon —- ‘were required to close a door on one street be- cause they could not get the required number of signatures and sell from but one side. On the street where he was refused he could, as of Toomes i as ate comet bap sre “atovepipes,” and o1 -room ii The tact that bpmoe was situated on a corner was always an advantage to the keeper, because he two chances of getting his license. Now, the chances are st him, for he has to canvass two streets signatures. The police say that the saloon men have had more trouble to overcome the obsta- cles put in their way by the new regulations pry ed a the old rules. a Ts Sa) $ man; rsons have signed this year who. would nanan en before, and many persons who have heretofore signed all app! ions have itively refused to do so this year. In several jocalities where there are a number of saloons on a square the residents have tried to pick out the most orderly saloon and signed the application for that saloon only. TO CLOSE TO-MORROW. As the police construe the new regulations all Persons in the liquor business whose licenses are not granted to-night will have to close their — to-morrow or ki them open in viola- ion of the law. The saloon-keeper as well as the police have considerable trouble about the ap? ications. The former is obliged to call on the property owners and householders on both sides of the street where his place is located. CANVASSING FOR SIGNATURES. It often occurs that a saloon-keeper only lacks one signature of the majority required by law. The saloon-keeper himself is unable to = and he sends friends to talk to the resi- te or property-owners as the case may be, and the police say they are often compelled to a good price for the required signature. en the application is filed with the Com- missioners it is referred to the police. Each application is carefully i ted. The signa- tures are verified by the officers who have to go from — to place and interview the —— Then the record of the applicant is searched, and each arrest or conviction is marked against him. The lieutenant of the precinct then makes his report and returns it with the appli- cation to the Commissioners. Complaints or protests against the ting of applications are also received by the Commissioners. and, like the applications, are referred to the police. When the Commissioners get ready to take action on the application the report of the grange and protests are considered. in finally disposing of the application the re- port of the police-lieutenant is generally ap- proved Commissioner Webb and Major Moore have for some days been looking over the applica- tions received preliminary to action upon them by the full board of Commissioners. There will be many applications suspended. The Commissioners are asked in many cases to re- ject applieations under the recently adopted rule by which they assume the right to regu- late the number of saloons in a given neigh- borhood. One case brought to attention of the Commissioners is that of Pennsylvania avenue, between 17th and 18th streets. There are five restaurants on one side and one on the THE SITUATION IN NEW YORK. The Scenes at Party Headquarters— Case of Diamond Cut Diamond. F. A. Richardson in Baltimore Sun. New Yorx, Oct. 30.—The methods of man- agement with the national committees running the campaign for the two great parties are strikingly dissimilar. At the democratic head- quarters there is a large staff of stars, walking gentlemen, and supernumeraries, every one of whom knows it all, and is quite ready to tell it. Majorities everywhere — North, South, East, West—are figured up by tens of thousands. — from all eee exhibited by = ushel, which relate surprising gains in repub- lican strongholds, Once a day elaborate printed bulletins are given out portraying the situa- tion in such rosy hues of Le og and beauty as fairly to inflame the minds of enthusiasts. Altogether the stalwart and hopefnl demo- erat enters headquarters, treads on flowers, and sips nectar. At republican head- quarters there are but few such, and these are of the kind who work. They have no time except +o talk business. The subordinates are led like soldiers, their faces set always to their tasks, and never have they any infor- mation to communicate, except that ‘ison and Morton will ci every Northern state. No details are vouchsafed, no bulletins are issued and no letters are triumphantly flaunted. It is amazing to see the evidence in every nook and corner of the purpose to succeed, and the determination to leave nothing undone in furtherance of that purpo It has been said that defeat to the republican party now means demoralization and destruction. This is cer- tainly realized, and if the party should be beaten on Tuesday next it will not be because every end and effort known to the diplomacy, the intrigue and corruption of politics has not been resorted to. Ihave never seen finer or consummate work in a political campai, fact, as has been suspected, that re- ublican committee has plenty of money. It jo had oceans of it from the beginning, and it is still flowing in in a steady and continual stream. It will all beneeded. The republican committee has an army of detectives at its command. They shadow constantly all the democratic leaders and the democratic heelers, and it is claimed they have even penetrated to democratic headquarters and picked up the secrets there, Iam convinced that the republican commit- tee is now devoting every energy to New York. Whether it be blind confidence or not, it is ap- ——= are not disturbed ~ Ca ee of losses in republican states. They have from the opening of the campaign proceeded on the theory that so far as the North was concerned the contest would hinge on the same four states as from 1876 down. To carry New York will be enough to win the game for them, and resting on the assumption that all which can done for Connecticut, New Jersey, and Indiana has been done, New York is now to be the sole object of attention. The desperation with which they are concentrating on New York indicates that they cannot be so certain of Connecticut and Indi as they assert. However, I was assured | most solemnly to the contrary. I had an interest- ing talk with Col. Dudley while at republican bestensie gna me He = — - the very pes managing politicians in the whole country, an: has been doing splendid service for his party during this campaign. He has heretofore ai- ways been to the front in the campaigns in his = — he — me he was not needed in ndiana this year. Eyerything was going on all right thers, he said, aa he held ap a lier just received from General Harrison. He said conceding the democrats the vote of the “‘ float- ers” the republicans would still have 6,000 to spare. I asked him about Illinois. He replied instantly that Harrison would beat Cleveland 20,000 in that State. He expressed much pleas- ure that this campaign had been fought on one clean political issue and there had been no at- tempt on either side to assail personal charac- ter. He said two or three months since affi- davits had been brought to him for sale reflect- ing on the domestic life of the President. He re’ 1d to have anything to do with the: nd told the persons concerned that the republican committee did not propose to conduct the cam- paign on any such principle, It must not be supposed, because of the con- trast between the two national headquarters, that the democratic cause is lacking for skillful management. Far from it. There are master hands in control, only they are never seen about headquarters, but direct from private — in the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The repub- i committee call those in charge at demo- cratic headquarters “plungers,” but they know full well the head persons they are matched against, ‘and realize that at most it is diamond cut diamond. The maneuvering for these few days preceding the great battle will call for the utmost resources on both sides of political skill and genius. The loss of a single trick may be danger to one and joy to the other. My ob- servation leads me to credit the claim of the other side of the avenue, making six in all. ‘The records of all these restaurants are said to be good, there being no court convic- tion and no re it them, and each has the requisite pst of signers. In fact, the signatures are substantially the same on all the petitions. Now the Commissioners have either to grant all the licenses or to dis- criminate and say which places shall be closed. If they decided that three saloons were enough for the locality and closed up three, it is held that they would be merely peo the monopoly i to the three saloons. The Com missioners, it is said, can exercise their powers under this rule only in cases of entirely new applicants, or in the cases of restaurants who = been reported or suspected of violating Ww. 4 CAMPAIGN ON SEVENTH STREET. Acampaign seems to have been made against all the saloons on 7th street, north of L street. Protests are filed from residents of that street, showing that some one has been making an anti-saloon canvass there. As the protests are, as a rule, general and not specific, the Com- tissioners are not inclined to consider them. There is — rotest, too, ‘inst the number of on 7th-street road just north of the Boundary, in two squares, where there are said to be ten drinking places. ‘The pro- testants ask to have the number reduced to two. The difficulty in this case with the Com- missioners is in deciding which two are the fittest to survive. WHAT LIQUOR DEALERS ARE DOING, ‘Mr. N. H. Shea, president of the Local Board of Trade and Liquor Dealers’ Association, said to a Stak reporter this morning that the liquor men would use all honorable means to procure their licenses. Their business, he said, is a le- gitimate one, and can be conducted as orderly as any other business. According to the decis- ion of the courts, he said, the Commissioners have full power to make rules and regulations regarding the liquor trade, and the liquor men . therefore, make no movement against their authority. They hope the Commissioners will use proper discretion in the matter. because, he said, men in the liquor business have rights regarding their property and businces inter- ests. The Commissioners, he oe should be careful not to do anything that will injure the business of any law-abiding citizen. THE WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE UNION. Mrs, La Fetra, the president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, said this morn- | ing, in speaking of the issue of liquor licenses, that the temperance people made strong efforts last year, which seemed to be only partially successful. “In cases,” she went on, “where strong protests were filed and the license was withheld, the saloon keepers deposited their ay Fee ———- and then a be eep their es open pending the issue the lie aol pon hep read it. In this way, and by various devices, a number of the saloons kept open the entire year without licenses. It was discouraging, and this year, except in par- the union. The ruling of the Commissioners, however, that they can exercise discretion in the issue of licenses is favorable, and it is but right to say that the condition of affairs has greatly improved. The members of the union —_ in a — ee eee —_— licenses, still ey Welcome all indications i im the direction of reform.” sia a ME. MOULTON APPROVES THE NEW RULES. H. B. Moulton, the president of the Anti- Saloon League and the Prohibition Union, ex- Pressed his satisfaction with the present out- look in regard to the issue of liquor licenses, “If the Commissioners will only adhere to the admirable rules which they have adopted,” he This year said,” there will be fewer licenses jap ley Ted Perhaps it would be more correct good many saloons will lose their business.

This, by the way, is just as ay and every other state as BEATEN BY HER HUSBAND. Sad Experience of a Pittsburg Girl who Marrieg an Italian Count. Every one remembers the marriage of Miss Virginia Knox, of Pittsburg, to Count di Mon- tercoli, of Italy, which took place at the bride's farm acouple of weeks ago, The story went that the count had met Miss Knox in Europe, at once fell in love with her, and followed her to this country. Miss Knox, at first, did not re- fuse his attention, but after coming to this country they had a quarrel, and Miss Knox went to Old Point Comfort. Thither, as soon as he learned her whereabouts, the count fol- lowed her, and the quarrel was made up. Soon the Pittsburg marriage followed. Now comes | the sad sequel in a Paris cable to the New York | Herald, dated October 30, as follows: To-night Paris is talking about the sudden termination of the honeymoon of Count and Countess di Montercoli, nee Miss Virginia Knox. ‘Their marriage was celebrated about a fortnight ago in Pittsburg with great eclat. The bridegroom arrived in Paris last Sunday and engaged a suite of rooms at the Hotel Bellevue prepara- which he said his mother has on the Adriatic. It was apparent that the bride was not happy, and early on Monday morning the guests were aroused by shrieks from her chamber, followed by cries for help. The guests dressed hastily and ran into the corridors, The manager of the hotel burst open the door and found the countess struggling with her brutal husband, body bruised. The count released his’ victim, who rushed to the manager, crying beseech- ingly: “Save me from him; turn him out of the hotel. He has got no money and he can’t pay you; turn him out.” The count protested against the interference and attempted to pull im asting- ing blow in the face with her clenched fist. He | learned too late that he was not onl penniless, | more he commenced to beat her. The man- | ager told the couple he could not allow the ticular cases, no organized effort was made by | ° tried to return the blow, but was prevented by the manager and the male guests, The unfortunate bride told the manager that she had been thoroughly deceived in her hus- band. She believed hima mgn of means, but but aninhuman brute. At first she supplied him liberally with money, bygnothing seemed to satisfy him. When she re! d to give him — to be disturbed, and they must leave the otel immediately. The unfortunate wife —— felt the disgrace and burst into tears, pleaded to be allowed to remain. But the manager was inexorable, and they were obliged to leave. They took an early train for Italy. pcmndbatsei sareeth Powderly’s Warning to the Knights.

A VIEW OF THE MATTER EXPRESSED BEFORE THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE PRESIDENT'S ACTION. Mr. Blaine addressed a large audience in the fair grounds near Albany, New York, yesterday afternoon, and made reference to the Lord Sackville letter, not then knowing of the action of the President, He said: “We are not going to have the British minister in Washington tell us how to vote. We will not take instructions from the court of St. James as to how we shall vote on protection tariff in America, And I want to say this, further: You are reading a ood deal in democratic papers just now as to ord Sackville being recalled. The Cleveland | administration want to show their indignation for his intervention. It would only take one word to recall him. What they are doing is trying to get the English prime minister in London to recall him. Three foreign ministers in the history of our Government thus far have had their passports given them by the Admin- istration at Washington for doing less than Lord Sackville has done in intervention with our affairs, and Mr, Bayard and President Cleveland, neither of them (I make that predic- | tion to-day; there is a week left of the cam- aign) will dare to send Lord Sackvill home, Mr. Phelps, the American minister at London, as we get news over the cable, is dining out at Hattield with Lord Salisbury to see if Lord | Salisbury will not relieve Mr. Cleveland and | Mr. Ba b ard by recalling Lord Sackville; so we are not only to have the British minister intervening in our affairs, but we are to have the British premier in London decide whether he shall stay and intervene some more. That is the situation. No republican administration ever had the intervention of the British min- ister, and never will. No advocate of pro- tection in this country ever had the sympathy of British ministers, and never will.” - eee Presidential Politics. After the demonstration at Wheeling, W.

The New York Sun publishes a letter from Senator Edmunds, in ekioh he asserts that he is, and has been ever since the nomination of General Harrison, earnestly and according to his strength and capacity actively in favor of the latter's election. He gives thirteen reasons why he thinks General Harrison should be lected, chief among them being the candi- late’s abilities, his personal and political purity, and his soundness upon the principles of protection to American industries and American labor. In regard to the Lord Sack- ville incident, Mr. Edmunds says that General Harrison would not for even one day tolerate the official presence of a foreign minister, from whatever country he comes, who under- takes to interfere in our elections, even if that minister thinks that his election or his party will work to the advantage of that minister's country. ————_+e+______ Shot by His Wretched Wife.

A PRIVATE LETTER FROM PLAGUE-STRICKEN DE- cATUR. The following private letter has been received in Washington from a resident of Decatur, Ala., dated October 28: “The past week has been one of gloom and distrust, Three of the relief committee have died; all the others were sick and unable to work. The committee has been reorganized. We have now 28 on the sick list. Hope that a killing frost will come to our relief soon. We have been confined here forty-five days with this dreadful fever. The use of stimulants has been potent in promoting or increasing the death-rate. I was sick for two days, not from fever, but from hard work and constant worry, for those I was trying to help, and especially over the miserable management here.

R. residing in the two Decaturs in an appeal to the commander of the Grand Army of the Republic for aid. The old relief committee of Decatur left indebtedness to the amount of $3,000 to be provided for.

If a woman be 5 feet 5 inches in height, her extended arms should measure from tip of mid- dle finger to tip of middle finger just 5 feet 5 inches. exactly her own height. A woman of this height should measure 24 inches about the waist, and 34 inches about the bust, if measured from under the arms, and 43 if over them, The upper arm should measure 13 inches and the wrist 6. The calf of the leg should measure 144g inches, the thigh 25, and the ankle 8. From her thighs to the ground she should measure just what she measures from the thighs to the top of the head. The knee should come exactly midway between the thigh and the heel. The distance from the elbow to the middle finger should be the same as the distance from the elbow to the middle of the chest.
