Today the rank and file of the dem- ocratic party as well as the leaders throughout the country are studymg the opposition anonuncements of the two national leaders and attempting to assess their effect on the party's fortunes at the nominuting convention which will be held in San Francisco June and at polls next November. Many polit.cal observers feel that it is vet too early to estimate the position in which the cleavage between the president and the foremost democrat n private life leaves the party. They feel that the situation must settle down a little. It seem:s agreed that Mr. Bryan's ar- gument that the treaty should be rati- ficd with such compromises as may be possible will ive a tremendous im- petus to the movement which steadily has been going on in the undercur- rents of the senate for a g in which the so-called ir und those who stand for treaty without any whatever may and Jjjoin with the mild reservationists | in putting through fhe covenant.

They were shot by outlaws on the seashore be- tween camps belonging to the Inter- national and Trans-Continental Oil companies, it is said. Advices given out here state that followers of Gen. Manuel Pelaez, out- law chief and virtually independent ruler in that district, had been ex- pecting to Teceive munitions from a steamer at that point on the coast. Certain bandits who were rivals of adherents of Pelaez learned of .the expeeted shipment.

Monsees, president of the Liquor Dealers’ association of this afternoon to the effect he expects that the greater part of the saloons now open will be closed on next Friday, Jan- uary 16, when the national prohibition amendment will take effect. It is probable that several will remain open, selling near beer and other soft drinks, but, according to the informa- | tion given Mr. Monsees, only a few ‘will do so. The association has not held a meeting recently and has not taken any action on ordering the saloons closed, and will remain quiet until the end. When the national prohibition amendment takes effect the sale of cider, which has been large during the past several months, will be pro- hibited, and with the taking away of the only drink that has any “kick” to it, most saloon men will find it a hard job to meet expenses by what they receive for the sale of soft drinks. Mr, Monsees made a state- ment to the effect that they will all be closed before a month s out. GEN. GREELEY DYING Famous Civil War Hero Seriously TIl ” in New Haven. Death Expected Momentarily.
