AMENDING THE LIQUOR LAW| GERMANY'S LATE MOVE Advocates of Pending Measures Heard by Provisions Recommended by Members of Anti-Saloon League — Sunday Sales — Those Present. The District Commissioners today gave a hearing on Senate bill 3319 and House bill 8867, ta regulate the sale of liquor in the | District. The bills are identical, and have heretofore been reported in The Star. Those present at the hearing were those advocating the proposed measure, about every religious denomination and every temperance organization in the District having one or more representatives at the hearing. It was explained by the advo- cates of the proposed new law that they desire as much as possible to restrict and guard the sale of intoxicating liquors here, and they were assured by the Commission- ers that they and the Commissioners are of one mind in such purposes. Mr. James L. Ewin, president of the Anti- Saloon League, introduced the advocates of the measure, and explained that they were present as the representatives of the law-abiding portion of the community as against the patrons of the IMquor dealers. They came, said Mr. Ewin, to heartily sup- Port the proposed law, which is, he re- marked, simply a_reproduction of what was known as the Morse bill, which meas- ure received the approval of the Commis- sioners and of the Senate District com- mittee in the Fifty-fourth Congress. Mr. Ewin referred to the substitute proposed by the Commissioners, and urged the Com- missioners to provide in their substitute that where liquor is sold in quantities less than a pint. a bar room license be required, whether the liquor was drunk on the prem- ises or not. He also urged the Commis- sioners to see to it that, whatever measure became a law, it should provide against the sale by brewers of beer or any other liquor on Sundays. Wants Equal Rights. Mr. A. E. Shoemaker, the attorney of the Anti-Saloon League, advocated such a pro- vision in the new law ag will allow the protestant against as well is the applicant for a liquer license the right of appeal to the Supreme Court of the District from the Gecisions of the excise board. At present, explained Mr. Shoemaker, only the appli- cant for a license has the right to invoke the aid of the District Supreme Court. ‘The Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, asked the Commissioners to see that the new law provides against the issuance of a license to any person who has been twice convict- ed under the liquor law. He also urged the Commissioners to prevent by law such transfers from one person to another as are intended to simply evade such a provision of the law. Certain places, said Mr. Brooks, are as bad as certain liquor dealers, and the existence of bad places as well as the continuance in the business of bad men should be provided against by law. Mrs. M. B. Platt, president of the District W.-C. T. U., said she came as the repre- sentative of not only her organization, but also of the other good women of the Dis- trict, women who give the best years of their lives to the bearing and rearing of children. In their name she begged the Ccmmissioners to promptly approve the pro- pesed new law. She referred to the numer- ous complaints which have been made and are now being made against the sale by the breweries on Sundays, by which hun- dreds of young men and boys are .being brought to ruin. The women of the Dis- trict will watch the bill, said Mrs. Platt, and she asked the Commissioners, as Christian gentlemen, and on behalf of the home-making and home-loving women of the District, to secure the desired legisla- tion as promptly as possible. Sunday Sales by Brewers, Mr. A. N. Canfield, the first vice presi- dent of the Antti-Saloon League, also re- ferred to the sale of liquor by brewers on Sundays, and urged such action by Con- gress as will prevent such a thing. After Mr. Ewin bad read a letter of approval from Father Matthews of St. Cyprian’s Church, Mr. M. I. Weller addressed the Commissicners individually, and as the representative of Father Matthews. Mr. Weller suggested that the Commissioners recommend an amendment to the bill which will prevent the sale or delivery by brewers of liquor on Sunday. a Commissioner Ross said the adyocates of the proposed new law and the Commis- sioners are apparently of one mind in the matter, and promised that the suggestions made at the hearing will be given careful ecnsideration by the Commissioners, Those present at the hearing were Rey.

A French sclentific journal publishes scme particulars as to the consumption 6f tobacco, which is decreasing in that coun- try, being at the present time about two peunds per head of the population annual- ly, whereas in Holland it is seven pounds, in the United States, five pounds; in Bel- gium and Germany, three pounds; in Aus- tro-Hungary, two and one-half pounds, and in Canada, about two and one-fourth pounds. The consumption in Sweden and Rvesia is about the same as in France (two pounds),while in Great Britain it is not quite one and one-half pounds. The same statistician 1s also responsible for the cal- culation that the consumption of matches in Europe is 2,000,000,000 in the course of twenty-four hours, being on the average, twelve per head of the population in Ger- many, rine in Belgium, eight in England, and only six in France, where they are of such bad quality that one would have sup- posed the consumption must be proportion- ately greater than in any other country. ————o-—_____ Corks are being made for medicine bot- tles which will drop the liquid instead of pouring it, an air inlet passage and liquid outlet passage being cut in opposite sides of the cork with a bulb over the air inlet to control the air vacuum inside the bottle.

Ac bide sein aaa oo DEALERS SELL IT. Her Sudden Demand for Redress Suspiciously Sea areerame Action Directed Against the Cuban Insurgents—Apparent Acquies- cence by Spain. The move of the German government in Precipitately making up a claim against Spain and insisting on immediat2 settle- ment is looked upon here with increased suspicion. i it has the appearance of a subterfuge, nor is this appearance relieved by the equally sudden and over-demonstrative as- surances, semi-officially and in the German Press, that Germany is extremely sympa- thetic with the United States. It is feared that this sympathy will not extend beyond tha hoodwinking stage if this government 1s not alert. As previously announced, the German for- eign office is demanding immediate and full redress for the killing of four German sub- jects at Cannamaba, Cuba, March 18, by in- surgents, and a German warship will soon sent to Havana if satisfaction is not forthcoming in short order. Th2 Spanish ‘ambassador at Berlin, Senor Mendez de Vigo, has had long conferences with Baron von Buelow, the German minister for for- eign affairs, who convinced the ambassador that Germany intended to have complste satisfaction, including an indemnity for the peobery: destroyed and for the lives taken. he ambassador was also informed that unless.the redress was forthcoming, Ger- many would hers2lf act, secure damages and punish the offenders. As an incentive to quick reparation, Baron von Buelow add- ed that provisional orders had been cabled to the commander of the German warship Geier to sail in the direction of Cuba. The Spanish ambassador promised that he would exert himself to the utmost to comply with the German demands, Regarded With Suspicion. Commenting on the gispatches from Ber- lin attention is called to these facts in th2 case: First, the complaint of Germany is not that the Spanish have destroyed lives and property of Germans, but is directed specifically against the insurgents; second, that th Spanish ambassador at Berlin was convinced at one conference that Germany meant_business, and practically confessed the justice of the German complaint, by promising to secure redress, if he could; third, that the thr2at made by the German minister of foreign affairs, if redress was not afforded by Spain, was that a German war vessel would be sent to Cuba to punish, whom? the insurgents. Again, the expianation given semi-offi- cially (according to the same dispatches) of the veering of Gernian sympathy from Spain to the United States is that bitter- ness has been engendered by wanton at- tacks, not of Spaniards, but of insurgents. . Ulterior Purpose Suspected. All this is suspected of indicating a pur- pose on the part of Germany to find an excuse for a punitive expedition against the insurgents, with very little prospect that Spain will desire to do anything to prevent it. More color is given to this by the stiffen- ing up of Spain; by the boastful declara- tion of the Spanish semi-official organ at Madrid that Spain will be the “champion of Europe” against aggressive action by the United States, and by the fact that this move is a most adroit attack on the in- tegrity of the Monroe doctrine, a doctrine which Germany just now would like to see abandoned. If the German ntove were not directed against the insurgents specifically and Spain were not so complaisant about it suspicions in Washjngton would not be so acute, SENTIMENT IN: GERMANY. It is Cluimed to Be Highly Favorable to the United States. The sentiment in Gerniany, in official and unofficial circles, {8s now decidedly more favorable to the United States. This, it is asserted, is. partly due; to the moderation of President: McKinley and the conserva- tive manner in which’ the American min- ister, General Woodford, has dealt with the authorities at Madrid, and partly to the bit- terness engendered by the alleged wanton attack of a band of insurgents upon the German sugar refinery at Cannamaba, in the Trinidad district of the province of Santa Clara, Cuba, and the murder of four persons connected with the refinery March 18, which has taught Germany that Spain is unable to protect even the lives of for- eigners in Cuba. The newspapers are changing their tone and now concede in the main the justice of the American demands, acknowleding that Washington has acted with the moderation which many another government would not shown under similar circumstances. The Cologne Gazette, the Vossische Zeit- ung, the Lokal Anzeiger and other leading newspapers highly eulogize President Mc- Kinley’s attitude and express confidence that whatever he ultimately decides. will be dictated by sound reason. The American ambassador, Andrew D. White, in an interview in Berlin, said that while, thus far acting under instructions from Washington, he had not formally in- quired of the German government what its attitude would be in the event of war, he had nevertheless been repeatedly assured informally by Baron von Buelow that Ger- many will in no case assume an unfriendly attitude toward the United States, nor join in any possible combination of the powers hav- ing that end in view. In regard to Emperor William’s personal views, Mr. White said his majesty has been grossly misrepresent- ed by the foreign press. The emperor has repeatedly given Ambassador White to un- derstand that he felt most favorably dis- posed toward the United States and his sympathies are with the United States in this crisis. It is learned on unexception- able authority that so far from the Wondon Sunday Special’s dispatches from Berlin be- ing Emperof William's views, the facts are that soon after the loss of the battle ship Maine, during a dinner party, his majesty asked a number of admirals for their opin- ion as to the cause of the disaster. The admirals thought it was due to an internal explosion, whereupon the emperor briefly remarked that he differed with them. Since then he has repeated his opinion on several occasions. a ARMY AND NAVY ORDERS. Commanders Selected for the Man- grove and Rodgers. Captain Moses G.

The fatal shocking of a horse belonging to J. W. Middleton Saturday afternoon ty coming in contact with a live cup on the Cepital railway at 10th and M streets is regarded at the District building as en enphatic indorsement of the objections raised by Commissicners Wight and Black te the Brown underground electric system as operated by the Capital Railway Com- pary. It will be recalled that several weeks ago the comrany, by a majority-vote of the Commissioners, was directed to re- move the system within thirty days. Upon the representations of the promoters of the Brown system that they would remove all Hability of danger the company was given further extens‘on, first of ten days and then a second one of sixty days. The promoters of the system promised that the District should be held by them safe fiom any lability for damages resulting frcm its operation during the time named, and alco promised to reconstruct the line so as to render future accidents absolutely in rossible. The Johnson Company, it is understood, has not yet made these promised improve- ments, although it is sa‘d the company is industriously engaged in manufacturing appliances which, it is claimed, wiil re- move the imperfections of the system ani take it all that the Commissioners desire. Meantime, the company has the line patrol- led day and night, so as to detect any box $ >= which has continued “alive,” and at once render it harmless, It is claimed, how- ever, that Saturday’s accident shows, even with the utmost vigilance exercised, that the defects on which the majority of the Commissioners based their objections to the ecntinvance of the system still exist. It is understood that this vigi'ance will be ex- ercised to a still greater extent, and that meantime the Johason Company will con- tinue its efforts to perfect the system. An_ official of the Johnson Company, which is the owner and has control of the operation of the Brown system in this city, said today: “It was impossibie to have injured the horse in the manner claimed, as a test had just been made of the box referred to, and immediately after the animal stepped off a man stepped on the box and put one foot on the rail of the same without any effect whatever.” == American Social Science Association.
