Young America is not to be deprived of all his rights in the matter of making an outward display of patriotism on the Fourth of July, for the Commissioners have concluded to suspend the operation of the law in certain places. The order of the Commissioners, issued yesterday, is 28 fol- “The shooting of firecrackers and the use of other fireworks will be permitted upon the Fourth of July between the hours of 6 @m. and 12 midnight, upon places in the District of Columbia to be hereafter desig- nated by the chief of police.” Under the law, dealers are not permitted to sell fireworks without first obtaining a permit, and until yesterday afternoon the Commissioners had not determined wheth- er or not any permits would be granted this year. For nearly a month applicants have been calling at police headquarters for permits, among them being most of the Chinese laundrymen. esterday there was number of callers for permita, anf anxious about the not anticipating any trouble, have stocked their places and But the delay in ere extremely matter, for, the dealers are ready for business. issuing the permits has caused a temporary suspension of business, and not until the applications can be acted upon and per- mits issued will the dealers be permitted to begin disposing of their stock. The police are by no means satisfied with the new order of things for the Fourth, and are anticipating a repetition of the disasters which followed the effort of Maj. Dye to suppress the use of fireworks. His effort did not succeed in preventing the use of fireworks, but the boys were driven to their backyards and sheds, and the re- sult was that the fire engines and hose car- riages were on the streets almost the en- ure day and eveni.g.

A pvliceman speaking of the order issued yesterday, said he was certain that the whole police force could not compel chil- dren to go to the lots which will be desig. rated by the police. It is unreasonable to even imagine that a father wcvld allow his young children to go to any r said, for with rested and fined. eral hundred boye on a lot and each boy making an effort to set off fireworks somebody is borr.d to get hurt, If not killed.
