POOR NOT TO BE TAXED MORE. Brarix, July 8.—At today’s session of the reiehstag Herr Groeber, centrist, who in the last reichstag voted in opposition to the army bill,spoke against the new measure in the name of the centre party. The centrists, he declared, ‘vere firmly opposed to the bill, and all the resentatives of the ledged it, View the government to enter into an organic federation with Austria than to in- crease the army superfluously. use knew how the government intended to cover the extra cost involved by the meas- Ure it would not be able to find « majority. IMPOSING CONDITIONS ON THE GOVERNMENT. Herr Boeckel, anti-Semite,said that the mem- bers of that party would vote for the bill only on the condition that the costs be covered by taxes enacted only from the rich. To secure anti-Semite support Chancellor von Caprivi must declare t the government not increase the indirect food tax. Herr Boeckel declared that the anti-Semites would strive to abolish the possibility of heap- ing up enormous fortunes like those possessed by the Rothschilds and Bleickroedors. He added that the presont bill must be the abso- Inte conclusion of the increase of the army. If it were pot emigration trem Germany would Chancellor von Caprivi reiterated the statement he made yesterday that at resent it was impossible to give the jetails of the financial plan to cover increased expenditure that would be incurred through granting the government's demands. He asked Herr Boeckel to trust to the government's honesty and promised to re- \eve the weaker shoulders of the burden of in- creased taxation. Only the well-to-do, he said, would be called upon to pay the new taxes, ——._—__ THE VACANT JUSTICESHIP. Gossip as to Who Will Be Named as Judge Blatchford's Successor.

Baz Hanson, Mz., July 8.—The steamship State of Texas of the Mallory line of New York is disabled and is drifting off the outer shore of Mount Desert Island. The Texas has been running on the route from New York to Bar Harbor, Eastport and St. John, and takes the place of the Winthrop of the samo line, which was burned at Eastport about three weeks ago.

It related to an official mattor that is spproaching settle- ment and made no reference whatever to the President's health. Its principal significance is that the President's rheumatiom and tooth- ache no longer prevents his application to offi- cial business. THE SPEAKERSHIP. Representative McMillin Has No Doubt of Mr. Crisp’s Re-election. Representative MoMillin of Tennessee leaves the city this evening for his home, where he will remain until shortly bofore the time for the meeting of the extra session. He is not disturbed by the announcement of the silver men of their proposed combina- tion to defeat Cris) ir ager and places little beliot a ae ability to successfully form such combination. In fact most of the leading democrats con- sider the scheme as absurd and intimate very strongly that in selecting Mr. Burrows without their host. Mr. thoy are reckoning McMillin has no doubt whatever that Mr. Crisp will be re-elected without the slightest opposition. THE NEW TREASURY PLAN. It Has Excited Considerable Interest Among Financial Men. The announcement in yesterday's Stan that the Secretary of the Treasury was seriously consideaing the proposition to redeem the various outstanding forms of notes and issue instead a standard United States treas- try note has excited considerable interest among financial men. Generally the idea is accepted as an excellent one which would be very beneficial to the financial standing of the country. They say that the issuance 8f a United States note which would be on a par with the note of the Bankof England or the Bank of France could not be but a satis- factory plan and would do away with the pres- ‘ent form of having five different kinds of money, one form at least being at this Little suspicious. _—— WHAT IS THE CAUSEt Trouble and an Investigation st the Nauti- cal Alananac Office. There is a slight war between the scientista in the Naatical Almanac office, the precise nature of which is carefully suppressed for the the pros- ent. It involves a difference of opinion in th matter of administration long standing between Prof. Simon Newoomb, the superintendent of the office, and Dr. J. Morri- son, one of the assistant professors, The lat- ter complained to the Secretary of the Navy that Prof. Newcomb had not treated him properly in __thefr _oftictal intercourse. The trouble threatened to inter- fere with tho work of the office, and Capt. F. V. MeNair, superintendent of the naval ob- servatory, was instructed to look into the mat- ter. He has beon conducting a quiet investiga tion for several days past. - More Silver Sales.

Amost important test of ordnance will take place at the Indian Head proving grounds next Tuesday. Secretary Herbert, Capt.

Tt FOLLOWED THE COURT OF APPEALS In Its Action on the Busch Test Case. SOME LEGAL OPINIONS. ‘The decision Thureday of Judge Millerin the case of Patrick J. McDonough, charged under the new liquor law with keeping an unlicensed bar in selling liquor in less quantities than five gallons to be drank on the premises, appears tc grant perfeot immunity to those dealers holding Mcenses under the old law. In discharging Mo- Donough Judge Miller stated that it appeared to him that, under the decision of the Court of Appeals in the Busch case, sustaining the old licenses, there could be no prosecution of those she | dealers holding such licenses. When questioned today by a Stan reporter. Judge Miller stated that he was still of the opinion rendered by him Thursday. But he further stated that he was examining more deeply into the law on the subject with the hope that he could find some authority for holding differently, and thereby went the seemingly present right of dealers jolding old licenses under the Busch decision: to sell at their pleasure. Until he had further examined the law he stated that he did not care to more fully express an the matter. AN UNFORTUNATE CONDITION OF AFFAIRS. When the matter was mentioned to District Attorney Birney he said that the prevent con- dition of affairs was most unfortunate and deplorable. While he was not offi- cial concerned in the —_qnestion, be greatly regretted that there appeared to beat the present time ne adequate remedy to apply in the cases of those dealers who were taking advantage of an unfortunate technicality in the new liquor law. While he had not closely investigated the matter, it seemed to him that the decision of the Court of Appeals an the Busch case left Judge Miller no other alternative than to do as he had done in the McDonough case, EFFECT OF THE BUSCH DECISION. Mr. James Pugh, the assistant to the attor- ney for the District, said that under the Busch decision the old licenses remained in force, while the penalties under the old laws were re- pealed. permitted, he regretted to say, dealers holding old licenses to do pretty much as they pleased. Consequently those dealers in openly violating the new law, intended to go out of busi- it “the close of the present license year, November 1 next, and that herefore the threats of the District Commissioners that dealers so violating could not hope for license next year hed no terror for them. The Dis- trict, it appeared, was at the mercy of such dealers, and the only remedy seemed to be prompt action on the pert of Congress at the extra session next mon! THE OLD AND THE NEW Law. “The decision makes certain what bas been my opinion since the decision of the Court of Appeals in the Busch case,” said Lawyer John A. Clarke, who has appeared as coun- eel, paatincne than an brewei in afldition to retailers. “The was brought for keeping au unlicen under the new. McDonough held a wholesale license under the old law. ‘the old law 4id not restrict the dealer as to the drinking of the liquor on the prem- ises. That was only a regulation. The new law makes every place a bar room where the quantity sold is than five galions. to be drunk on the premises. The old wholesale license gave the holder thereof the right to sell a pint. or more, considerably less than five gallons. This license, which hoids good under the opinion’ of the Court of Ay gives him the richt to tell in quantities covered. by the new law: that is, leas than five gallons to be drank on the premises, #0 this being the caso, any one hold- ing a wholesale license under the old law can do the business of a retailer or bur room with- out beling liable to a charge under the new law of keeping an unlicensed bar. “But,” said Mr. Clarko, “I have advised my clients that if they sell by the emall because of the decision and so take advantage of it they may experience some trouble when they apply for a license at the beginning of the next year,as it will certainly be harbored against them. TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE DECISION. Many holders of wholesale licenses in the northeastern section of the city are taking ad- vantage of the decision, so it is reported by the police, and they have their doors open to the public for the sale of liquor by the drink, as many of them will close their places at the close of the present license year. ENOUGH LAW TO COVER THE CASE. The attorney for the District, Mr. & T. ‘Thomas, said that it seemed to bim, although he had not examined the question closely enough to finally determine the matter, that notwithstanding the decision of the Court of Appeuls in the Busch case, there was enough law left to prevent a violation of the law on the part of those holding old licenses. He based this belief on the ground that the old li- censes must necessarily depend on some law. That is, that the old licensos carried enough law with them to enforce penalties for violation of them. Thorefore, he thought that an information slleging ’ a violation of the old 4 by — dealer holding an old license could be succeusfully proceeded against. In other words, he believed that the Court of ‘Appeals, in sustaining the old license, also sus- tained the old law aud regulations applicable to them. Such a construction of the Busch decis- ion, 1t seemed to bim, was both reasonable and just. Yet he had not’ sufficiently satisfied him in the matter, bnt that was bis present opinion. ‘MR. SHILLINGTON's VIEWS. “The decision, in my opinion, only reoog- nizos the rights of a wholesale dealer, licensed under the oid law, enjoyed before the present law was passed,” said Lawyer Shillington. “That 4a, he bad the right tosell spirituous and fer- mented liquors in quantities of one pint and upward, and as there was no legal prohibition against allowing it to be drunk on the premises the courts were powerless to pre- vont it. Ido not understand that the decision gives a wholesale dealer, who has a license un- der the old law the right to conduct « rotail business. He can have no more privileges than those conferred by his — license, which the Court of Appeals decided runs till November 1 next, and the moment he transcends its terms or ‘sells in ® manner in- hibited by the old Inw he becomes liabie uuder the new. For instance, the old law for- bids him from selling in less quantities than one pint, and if he does so now his license will be no protection, because it never contem- lated or permitted such a sale. I should say in justice to my client, MoDonongh, that there was no testimony that he sold in’ quantities less than a pint, except that of a witness who swore got a glass of whisky from him, and this McDonough was pre- pared to disprove. As a rulo the licensed dealers are strictly observing the terms of their licenses and the regulations of the Commis- sioners, and have no desire to take advantage of the anomalios said to exist.”” ———— Naval Promotions. The following named officers have passed their examinations for promotion to the next higher grade and will be commissioned as soon asthe President returns to the city: Liout Commanders Samuel Belden, Wm.

A Stan reporter investigated the matter today and ascertained that although such ® proposition has been discussed in tho newspapers and at outlying posts it did not originate at army headquarters, and in fect has not even been seriously considered there. “The only proposition bearing any relation to the military establishment submitted by Gen.

Schofield. @XN. SOHOFIELD's VIEWS. That officer bas been repeatedly announced as favoring the establishment of two or three military divisions, when, as a matter of fact, ho does not regard such a plan as at all prac- ticable in the present condition of the service. In his opinion the military service can be better administered under the present system of de- ‘tments than with two or three divisions. If the latter system is to be restored there should be no less than four divisions, viz: Tae Atlantic, the Pacific and the northern and southern Missouri. Any other geographical division would be inequitable, sccording to military experts, as with three or less divisions one must necessarily be unproportionately greater in importance than the others. ‘THE DIVISIONS OF THE MISSOURI. The northern and southern portions of the former division of the Missouri, commanded since the war by Gen. Shermanand Gen. Sheri- dan, have become so far separated in their mil- itary interests that it is no longer Romible to confine them in one division. When that division was established the military operations for the control of the Indians extended over a vast territory, then frontier, and it was then necessary that the operation should be under the control of one general. ‘Thowe operations, however, _re- sulted in the subjugation of the Indians and the — settlement by whites of the present Nebraska, Kansas and the territories to the west. The Indisn tribes were separated in this way, so that it is no longer ible for them to have concert of action, thereby doing away with the previous necessity of having the troops operating against them under the orders of one division com- mander. It is said that these considerations incline Gen. Schofield to favor four divisions rather thanaless number, but as has been already stated, he is not taking any steps what- ever for a change in the existing military es- tablishment, THE ARGUMENT FOR TWO DIVISIONS. A strong argument in favor of concentrating the military into divisions with responsible heads is that, as such an establishment would im time of war, it is the officers upon whom the important commands would devolve should receive all the advantages ac- ormmng from the practical handing of large forces of men. It is argued that if an officer is likely to be placed in command of several de- rtmente in time of war he should at least ve some experience iu that direction, a thing altogether impracticable under tho ex- isting system, where the three major generals are performing the same se in command- ing dopartmente.s are the six brigadier gen- erals, ‘There is a great inequality of command under the present system. For instance, Gen, How- ard, who is s major general, bas » less import- ant command in many respects than Gen. Brooke and Gen. McCook, who are brigadier generals. The major generals are on a plane with the brigadier generals, and there is no distinction in duties, and sometimes the junior officers have the more responsible work. t /AUGHTER, More Postmasters Were Removed in the Same Time by Mr. Harrison.

Supervising Architect O'Rourke has decided that convict labor shall not be employed on the construction of buildings coming under his Jurisdiction. In every advertisement for bids published by him will be found « clause that no proposition will be entertained from a man usi: convict labor, and that no |p| of convict Iabor shall go into the build- ng. This has beon hie custom since accesston to his office, Speaking on this subject, Mr. O'Rourke says: “Ihave done merely what I consider to be my plain duty. Ido not see how any honest man can look at the question from another standpoint. I do not believe in subjecting honest Inbor to competition with dishonest labor. It 1s not fafr. “Thore is nothing in the law which says that convict labor shall be employed; nothing re- quiring me to receive bids from men using con- victs; therefore, I consider that action in the matter is left entirely to my discretion, and so Jong as it is I will not allow the use of convict labor or convict material.” setiatintchoaaie TO PROTECT AMERICANS, ‘The Philadelphia Ordered to Samoa to Look After Our Interests. In view of the serious condition of affairs in Samon it has been decided to send the Phila- delphia to that country. She is now en route to the Pacific. Her arrival at Rio is expected daily. It was at first the intention to send her orders for the cruise to Samoa to Rio, but as Valparaiso is directly en route it was concluded to delay the trans- mission of ber orders until she arrives at the letter port. This precaution was taken because of the Peruvian situation. Shoald a revolution occur in that country before the Philadelphia reaches Valparaiso it might then be considered desirable to order her to Callao and send the Alliance, which is now at the latter port, to instead.
