In forwarding to Congress the new bill for regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors in the District of Columbia the Commissioners call attention to the points in which it differs from the existing laws and regulations and give the reasons for these changes, as follows: Section 1. This section relates to wholesale licenses and places the license fee at @300 in- stead of $25 as at present, and also makes the granting of the license subject to the approval of the Commissioners, which is now somewhat in doubt. The small fee now charged for a wholesale license is an inducement to the keeper of every rocery store to take out a wholesale liquor license, no consent of the neighboring resi- sents being required. The fee should be at least one-half of that for, retail license, which this bill proposes to raise to $600. i Section 2. This section relates to retail licenses. It raises the license fee to $600 (from $100); it requires the consent of two-thirds of the neighboring residents and property owners instead of a majority, and it makes the pos- session of the appliances for carrying on a re- tail liquor business prima facie evidence that such business is carried on. The other provi- sions are the same as at present. The Com- missioners are of the opinion that each of these changes is a great improvement and that the first and the last are essential to a proper regu- lation of the liquor traffic. As for the second item the Commissioners do not think s bar Foom should be permitted where nearly half the neighboring resid .uts are opposed to it. Section 3. This secti>a provides the penal- ties for violating this ac‘. For the first offense there is a fine of from $300 to 2600. For a sec- ond offense the penalty is nearly doubled and there is added committal to the Washington Asy- Jum for from six to twelve months at hard labor unless the fine is paid sooner. ‘The present fines are so small that the liquor sellers can profitably violate the laws persist- ently and pay the fines when convicted. The Commissioners think that the penalty should be sufficiently great to make it to the interest of the dealer to comply with the law. To pre- vent the licenses being taken out in the name of irresponsible parues they think it essential that the convicted party should be committed to the Washington Asylum at hard labor in case of s second offense until the fine is paid. Section 4. This section states the classes of rsons and places to which licenses shall not Goaesand practically the same as now provided by regulation. Section 5. This section provides that any ap- plicant for or holder of a license shall permit the police or agents of the Commissioners full opportunity to examine his premises at any time. This the Commissioners think essential to a proper regulation of the liquor traffic. It provides that on refusal to comply with this section the Commissioners may annul the license. Section 6. This section is the same as exist- ing law. Section 7. This section is the same as exist- ing regulations, Section 4. This section prohibits the employ- ment of females. excepting the wife and daughters of the proprietor, in bar rooms and probibits the playing of pool, billiards or other games in aroom where liquors are sold. The Commissioners consider these prohibitions very important to the proper regulation of the liquor trafic. Section 9. This section provides that the ad- vertising of liquors by signs or otherwise out- side or inside of any unlicensed place shall be taken to be the selling of liquor for the pur- poses of this act, and also authorizes the ex- amination of any premises by the police, under the order of the Commissioners, where there is @ reason to believe that liquors are being sold im violation of law. Without this section it is practically impossible to prevent the unlicensed sale of liquors Section 10. This section limits the number of Tetail licenses in the District to 400. whereas there are now about twice that number, and also gives the Commissioners full discretionary wer to grant or refuse wholesale and retail mses. The number of saloons is far too great, and the Commissioners are of opinion that 400 saloons are amply sufficient for the Dis- trict. The limitation by law of the number wili greatly relieve the Commissioners im the performance of their duties. Section 11. This section is practically the same as existing regulations, _ 12 This simply repeals conflicting ws, —_—_._— OUR MARYLAND NEIGHBORS, Real Estate Sales—The Gold Fever—The Accident to Mrs. '. J. Thomson. Correspondence of Tux EVENING STA Rockvinie, May 1. Mr. Cooke D. Luckett today sold to Mrs. Wm. Matthews two building lots at Derwood for $400. She will at once commence the erection of a dwelling house. Mr. Luckett has also sold to Miss Mary Kilgour a building lot in the west end of Rockville for $500, The gold fever in Potomac district has been heightened recently by the discovery by Mr. H. C. Fawcett of two 4-foot veins of quartz on the farm of J. W. Carroll which show rich de- posits of the precious metal. The Kirk Mining Company, in the same locality, are working a large force of hands. The company has re- cently put in new and improved machinery, and the gold that cannot be separated from other substances at the mines is sent to New York for that purpose. Itis stated that the red stone quarries at Seneca propose to suspend operations shortly until they can secure transportation, either by canal or railroad. The expense of hauling stone by wagon from the quarries to Boyds Btation, on the Metropolitan railroad, takes all the profit. Mrs. Thomson. wife of Paymaster Wm. J. Thomson, U.S. N., who was badly injured by the upturning of her carriage a few days ago between her home at Hermutage and Garrett Park, is still ina precarious condition. After her fall from the carriage the vehicle was dragged over her body, crushing her ankle. Drs. Lewis of Knowles, Anderson of this place and Ford Thompson of Washington were summoned as soon as possible, and it is feared that amputation of the limb may be necessary. S.A.

DIVIDING WHAT NEW MEXICO CLAIMS. An Inviting Picture Drawn by One of the Visiting Delegation. “When it comes to a show down on natural or artificial advantages neither Idaho nor Wyoming has any age on New Mexico,” said Mr. George H. Cross of Santa Fe to Star re- porter yesterday evening. Dir. Cross is one ot the delegation of thirty-seven New Mexicans here intent not only on proving that the Gar- den of Eden was located in New Mexico but also bent on pushing the territory into the Union asa state. The delegation, which is headed by Gov. L. Bradford Price, has estab- lished headqurters at 1112 G street. “We have a population of more than 175,000 and the taxable property amounts to from #75,- 000,000 to $80,000,000," he continued. ‘Our debt is less than $900,000 and so easy is the financial situation that we are buying in our securities, Taxes arelow and as @ natural sequence real estate is advancing steadily and with gratitying rapidity. This advance is due principally to irrigation enterprises, of which more than sixty have been successfully estab- | lished during the past year. We now have un- der irrigation nearly 600,000 acres, and when Spring time rolls around once more the area of thoroughly irrigated land will be twice as great.” A HOME MARKET. “Won't you soon be producing more than you can consume?” asked the reporter. “No danger of that,” replied Mr. Cross. “Mining camps are the best markets any agri- culturist could desire and there is no scarcity of those industrial centers in New Mexico. We can grow almost anything you want to eat. ‘There is a great range of climate aud all of it is good for something. So marked isthe dif- ference that the governor has to declare two ‘arbor’ days. In the southern portion of the territory we plant trees on March 1; in the north we are just one month later performing a similar operation.” IRRIGATION. “Wouldn't Maj. Powell's irrigation scheme help you?” queried the reporter. “No, sir; we don’t want it,” and Mr. Cross looked as much like his name as he possibly could. “Maj. Powell's plan is thoroughly im- practicable, and if it was all right and feasible would be unnecessary. Money is so plentifyl that we can keep the irrigation up to the imnti- gration without any trouble if Congress will only grant the territory arid lands as it did swamp lands to fourteen of the states, If this is done we will organize a territoriul irrigation commission and go right ahead. People talk | about 4 great deal of our land being worthless, | When I was coming through West Virginia I heard a man offer to sell 10,000 acres of land for 10 cents an acre, CAPITOL GLEANINGS. A Nomination Confirmed—Tariff He ar- ings—Other Committee Notes. The Senate in executive session yesterday confirmed the nomination of Samuel B. Newell to be receiver of public moneys at Cen- tral City, Col. SUBSTITUTE FOR THE EDUCATIONAL BILL. Mr. Morrill introduced in the Senate yester- day, as asubstitute for the educational bill recently introduced by him, a bill appropriat- ing $15,000 @ year each from June 30, 1391, for | agricultural colleges in the states and tefri- tories and increasing each appropriation by $1,000 each year until the amount appro- riated foreach reaches $25,000 per annum. e committee on education and labor has agreed to report the bill favorably and it will likely pass the Senate without opposition. KNIGHTS OF LABOR AND THE SILVER BILL. Ralph'Beaumont, chairman of the Knights of Labor national legislative committee, yester- day addressed a letter to Congressman Mc- Kinley, chairman of the House silver caucus coramittee, in which he criticises the republi- | cans of the House for supporting a silver bill which confers legal tender powers on the pro- | posed bullion silver certificates. for the re pose for which the national banks desired to use them, while refusing the farmers and busi- ness men of the country the same privilege. Mr. Beaumont asks what is to prevent bankers from discriminating against these notes on the ground that they are only a legal tender for the payment of customs duties, taxes, public dues, and for national bank reserves, and fur- | ther he asks why these notes should be a legal tender for the use of rese! for national | banks and not for the mortgage debtor to meet | is interest and principal to these banks, The | bill in short, he says, creates money for bank- j ere and notes for farmers. | A DELEGATION FROM NEW MEXICO, | A delegation appointed by the governor of New Mexico at the suggestion of the territorial bureau of immigration appeared before the Sen- ate committee on territories yesterday. The principal object of the delegation is the urging upon Congress of the establishing a land court in which to settle the numerous disputed pri- vate land grants in the territory. TARIFF HEARING, An informal hearing was granted by the republican members of the ways and means committee yesterday to several Pennsylvania cigar manufacturers who wanted the tobacco | schedule in the McKinley bill changed so that tobacco, commercially known as wrapper | tobacco, shall be dutiable at the higher rate provided by the bill, and that tobacco,commer- | cially known as filler, shall be dutiable at the ‘Shaky so -some of our | lower rate. A delegation of manufacturers of titles are, you cannot buy as cheaply as that | $084 from molasses from New York, Brooklyn, anywhere in New Mexico.” MINES, CATTLE AND SHEEP. i “What about your industries?” “Our mines are in tip-top condition, never Boston, Philadelphia and Portland made an argument before the committee. They con- tended that if molasses sugar were admitted free, as provided for in the McKinley bill, | their industry would be crippled, because the better, and our cattle and sheep industries are | imported sugar could be sold at a price less ona ‘boom.’ Do you know that there is no/ finer mutton than that which is raised in New | Mexico? The grasses are sweet and the meat | is flavored as no other can be. Immense ship- | ments of the woolly creatures testify to popu- lar appreciation. Our beef cattle are also im- proving and we will ship 600,000 head of beef | steers this year.” “Immigration increasing?” “Yes, steadily; and the newcomers are good people. They are mostly from the-central west; | men who bettered their condition by leaving | the east and whose clear vision makes plain to them still greater opportunities in the extreme | southwest. For years the territory has suf- fered from misrepresentation. but at last the | people of the states have caught a glimpse of our growing greatness and now the Lest kind of | immigrants are crowding in. We have room for them. If New Mexico was populated as thickly as is Connecticut 15,000,000 people | would be within its borders. | “We are not without railroad facilities. More than 1,500 miles of road are now in operation and the greater portion of 800 miles more will | be in running order this summer. LEARNING UNDER SOME DIFFICULTIES, “How are your schools?” queried the re- porter. “As numerous and as far advanced as any of our territorial competitors,” was the reply. “There are 260 public schools, with 360‘teachers, | and in these establishments English is the only language taught. The people are anxious to learn English. There are no official text books and when the youngsters first go to school they are very oddly equipped but very enthusiastic, I have seen them come in wi patent medicine advertisements and almanacs as primers. Some of them had newspapers— copies of ‘The New Mexican”—and in one lit- tleschool house I sawa bare-legged girl of thirteen or fourteen years endeavoring to speil her way through a somewhat dilapidated six- teen-page copy of your Evenina Star. There were lots of pictures in it—it was the history of « Knight Templar conclave—and the sloe-eyed little Mexican varied the task of reading with the pleasure of picture-scanning.” THE FOREIGN POPULATION. “The foreign element in the territory is very large?” suggested the reporter, “Nothing like as large as yon probably sup- pose. ‘There are 2,000,000 people in the United States who cannot speak the English language, and our proportion of these is surprisingly small. Why, up in Wisconsin the percentage is muca greater; there are large settlements where German is the only language used. The native New Mexicans are anxious to learn, but they have up to the past five years been too busily engaged defending themselves and their homes from the attacks of hostile Indians to pay much attention to linguistic studies. Natu- rally there isa kindly feeling within them for their mother tongue, and they use it in their homes—at their firesides; but in the store. on the street and in a general way they are using the Americanized Anglo-Saxon, They are Americans.” PRESBYTERIAN MISSIONS. Addresses Before the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society Last Night. ‘The evening session of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Presbyterian Church last night was given up toageneral meeting and a large audience was in attendance. Rev. T. 8. Hamlin presided and conducted the open- ing devotional exercises. In his remarks after- ward he referred to the history of the society gave all the members a hearty welcome to the | city and to the church of which he is pastor. Mr. Jessup spoke of missionary work in Syria and of the valuable aid that the mis- sionaries were receiving from the press. By means of the press books, pamphlets and ail sorts of religious papers had beet printed in Arabic. He exhibited some electrotype plate work done in Syria, which was very creditable, Rev. Dr. Ellinwood spoke on the subject of missionary work generally and of the good that had been done. He spoke of the needs of the work and said that to maintain the present stations and establish new ones would require larger contributions than the canse had ever received before, and eaid that there were many people of wealth who ought to give more gen- erously and could do so, and that it was their duty to come forward and assist the society to perform its good work. The meeting was closed with a prayer and benediction by Rey. Dr. Bartlett, peeee ee Delays Are Dangerous, Judge Miller yesterday held for the grand jury in $200 ponds William C. Reicheneker, who was charged with embezzlement. It was alleged that as agent for the United States | Mercantile Protective Association of New York he collected $6 from Dr. 8.8, Adams and failed to turn it in. Mr. Carrington for the defense claimed that it was only a delay on the part of the defend- ant, who intended to turn in the money when he gotanother payment. The court held that the government had made out a case,’ and therefore held him in a small amount of bond, ——— Minister Palmer Out of Politics. Minister Palmer, who hasbeen mentioned as a candidate for the governorship of Michigan and is in Paris en route home to take part in the campaign, has telegraphed his withdrawal from the race. The death of his niece, his last in? relative, has broken him down com- plete! than the cost of manufacturing the sugar pro- duced by them. In view of this they asked that » bounty of 1 cent per pound be allowed to manufacturers of molasses sugar. A SPEECH TO PETE JACKSON. Rev. Mr. Wilson of Baltimore Has a Close Shave in Consequence of It. The Baltimore conference of the A.M.E. Church Tuesday, after its little affair with Dr, Mossel of this city, as told in Tux Sran’s dis- patches, took up several expulsion cases, Rev. John Gray of Hagerstown and Rev. T. E. Bur- ley, on their own confession, were bounced for adultery, The committee thought Rev. W. W. Wilson of Calvary Church, Baltimore, ought to go into outer darkness for having made a speech at a reception in honor of Pete Jackson, the slugger. Mr. Wilson in defense of himself, said: “I was invited to this reception, but was not aware that I would be called upon to make aspeech, I had heard of Peter Jackson and that he had talked with kings, queens, lawyers and doctors, and as I was informed that some of the best people in this city would be present I went. ‘The president of the club, when I ar- rived there, told me he wanted me to make the speech of welcome and I refused. He persisted and I finally consented. I told Jackson that he had achieved great success in his line, which was somewhat different from mine [laughter], and hoped that he would use his strength in bringing souls to Christ.” (Applause. ] As Mr. Wilson had presented his side of the case in a very clever manner, a motion was car- ried to the effect that Mr. Wilson merely be | told of his error and advised not to let him- self be caught again in a similar trap. The following appointments wero mad Washington—St. Paul's, L. H. Jackson; Ebe- nezer, D. G. Hill; Mt. Pisgah, T. G. Steward; Georgetown, D. G. Hill; Shorter’s Chapel, J.E. Moreland; Garfield, M.

The character of Dick Dead-Eye in “Pinn- | fore,” at Ford's yesterday in Baltimore, was filled by Mr, Frank Pearson of Washington, who acted and sang the same part in Decem- jber, ‘7%, when “Pinafore” had ite original American production at Ford’s. s0° a Mayor Grant’s Denial. | At Albany Senator Cantor submitted to the senate yesterday afternoon a letter from Mayor Grant denying the truth of the statements made against him by McCann and demanding | that a special committee be appointed by the senate to investigate the charges, Senator Cantor made such a motion, but it was defeated | by the republicans, who said the Fassett com- mittee would listen to whatever Mayor Grant might say in denial of McCann's testimony. Mayor Grant refused to have a word to say about the matter yesterday. — pe Seale Off for Greytown. Quite a contingent of officers and men em- ployed by the Nicaragua Canal Construction Company sailed from New York for Greytown yesterday on the steamer Hondoo. Among the | men connected with the Nicaragua canal on | board were Chief Surgeon J. Edward Stubbert, Assistant Surgeons Menocal and Archer, Second Assistant Engineer Holcombe, Mr. Harris, su- | perintendent of railway construction, Con- | tractor Treat and fifteen engineers and tele- | graph operators, They made a jolly party and | many friends were at the dock to see them de- part. pal eas nnn ae Burglar Tuthill Convicted. James G. Tuthill, the mason of Montclair, J., who for two years worked at his trade in he daytime and committed burglarics at night, was brought to trial yesterday. «There were fourteen different charges of burglary | against him. On the first charge Alexander Robinson positively identified Tuthill as the man who entered and robbed his house, There were some lively tilte between counsel.

In point of fact, it may be truthfully said that it is without aa equal in this respect any where in the world. These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the tworn weekly statements printed in the paper on exch Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1839, published in Tux Stas on the 18th of January, 1890, Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star has three times the circu- lation of any other paper in Washing- ton! 2 The Star's circulation in Wasbing- ton is double that of all the other daily papers published in the city added to- gether!! 3. The Star bas a larger and tuller circulation im the city where printed, im proportion to reading and parchas- ing population, than any ether newse- paper in the world!!! 4, The Star has the largest regular and permanent home circulation of any (wo-cent afternoon paper in the United States !!!t In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the papet, attention is invited to the figures following: DAILY CIRCULATION Ix 1885-86-87-88-68, 1SS3. 1886. 1887.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- scribers. ‘ The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, ené by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied reguiarly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c, (not householders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle. While its aggregate circulation there- fore gives Tue Stan a distinctive and enviable position in modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pure chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper, It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who seek and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tux Stan's advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which any article is held by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentiouscompetition, The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMANTS ©RINTED Er 4,606 391s 3.508 4.904 S412 4.689, 3,007 3.170 4,517 5,313 5,038 5,083 TOTAL 41,499 45,910 54,038 34,501 65,522 But it is not alone in numbers that the great increase of advertising is shown. The larger space required for advertisements during the year 1889 as compared with that occupied ia 1888 is even more striking. The average daily space filled by advertise ‘ments in 1886 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns for the year; whereas for tbe year 1889 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns i= the aggregate, being a total gain over the pre vious year of 1444columns! And this, it mast be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, etc., such as Occasionally swell the business of political organs, being included im its patrow Bee In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, {m proportion to the extent and high characte: Of its circulation, Tax Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement hereiz made can be abundantly verified.
