A very interesting meeting of the Geo- graphic Society was held last night in the Cosmos Club Hall, Gen. Greely in the chair. Prof. Milton Whitney of the Agricultural Department presented a paper on “The Geographic Distribution of Soils,” and many important facts were brought out in the address and the discussion that fol- lowed regarding the different kinds of soils, the conditions required for various crops, the effects of fertilizers and the essential variations that determine the value of soil, its retention of moisture, &c. Dr. C, Hart Merriam of the same depart- ment then read his annual report as vice president of the society, on “The Geo- graphic Distribution of Life,” in which he developed the laws of thermal control that regulate the distribution of animals and plants, as ‘as first proved by his own research- ried on, principally, during his ce! brated Death Valley expedition. The region investigated, embracing parts of California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona, included the highest and lowest portions of the United States, namely Mount Whitney, in the Sier- ras, some 15,000 feet above sea level, and Death Valley, 500 feet below sea level. Gen. Greely paid the speaker a deserved compliment ‘n closing the meeting, and stated that his paper, when published in the National Geographic Magazine, would attract great attention from specialists in this line of work. An Old Harpoon. At the meeting of the board of managers, befure the meeting of the society, a letter was read from Senator Perkins of Califor- nia, presenting to the society an extremely interesting relic in the shape of the head of a harpoon that was found in a whale taken in Bering sea in 1800, bearing the name of the old whaler “Montezuma.” This vessel was one of the old ships that were filled with stone and sunk in Charleston haroor by the federal government during the war of the rebellion, and had not been in Bering sea for ten years previously, 80 that for sixty long years that whale car- ried this weapon with him in all his wan- derings. Indeed, the old Montezu to cruise in Bailin’s Bay and Davis Strait, and may have struck the whale there. So the harpoon may have visited the open polar sea, witnessed the struggles of Col- linson, Nares, Payer, Nordenskiold and Greely, the sinking of the ill-fated Jeanette and made the northwest passage to Bering sea! On the motion of Mr. Gardiner G. Hub- bard, president of the society, a vote of thanks was adopted, and it was resolved to frame the valuable relic and add it to the collection of the society, which, by the way, contains the flag that Peary carried the farthest north. Of Special Intercet. The next meeting of the society will be of special interest, as John W. Foster, ex- Secretary of State, will speak on the politi- cal geography of Asia. Gen. Foster has only recently returned from his tour of the world, and while in China was received with marked distinction by Viceroy Li Hung Chang, who at that time still wore his yellow jacket anu peacock feathers. Winter's Program. A new program of this winter's lectures, issued today, says that the society now numbers more than one thousand mem- bers, including the President and Vice President of the United States, members of the cabinet and Congress, officers of the diplomatic corps and the army and navy, scientists, professional men, superinten- dents of colleges and schools, teachers, and other prominent residents of Washington. The object of the society is stated to be “to increase and diffuse geographic knowledge by original research, publica- tions, series of lectures by eminent author- ities, and by establishing a geographic l- brary and map room for the use of mem- bers and their friends.” The winter's lectures are divided in two classes, popular meetings held in National Rifles’ Hall on Friday evenings and tech- nical meetings held in Cosmos Club Hall on alternate Fridays.

Under the provisions of the liquor licenam: law of 1803 incorporated clubs are required! to pay the regular Mquor license tax—$4@B? annually, the amount paid by proprietor of saloons for the privilege of selling to tite: public. Last year the clubs paid the license: tax without protest, but this year most off them have failed to pay the tax, and now the proviston of law requiring such licenss tax is to be tested in the Police Court. Tle first warrant in these cases was sworn out: today. The warrant was issued for the Proxidant of the National Capital lub, on the oath of Policeman J. D. Sut. This warrant was issued for the sole purpose of getting the case into court to test the law, and not because of any at tempt to evade the law. Under the first section of the liquor law {t is provided: “That no person shall sel ofter for sale, or keep, for sale, or traffic im er, or excl for goods, in the Die trict of Columbia, any intoxicating liquor, t as hereli provided; but this not apply to sales made by a persom under @ provision of law requiring him to, sell personal property, nor sales by the maker, brewer or distiller thereof, not to lim ik on the premises.” The only reference in the act to incom Porated clubs is in the sixth section, and this says: “The excise board may, in ite discretion, issue a license to any duly im corporated club on a petition of the officers: of the club, and that the said club may, in its ‘discretion, sell Uquors to members and guests between: such hours as the board aforesaid may designate in said permit.” When the cases reach Judge Miller’s court next week the facts in the case will be adb- mitted and counsel will argue upon the le gality of the law. Counsel will probably contend that Congress has no right to enact @ law requiring an incorporated club to take out a license for the privilege of sell» ing liquor to its members.
