Tue representation of the Press were provided
with headquarters by Councilman West at his
place OF business on Merrimack street, where
every facility was extended to them by Mr..
Hill OF the Publishers Press, which has con-
trlbuted much to their convenience. The au-
thorifies were prompt and vigilant in SUM-
pressing the liquor traffic last night and the
restraint has been continued throughout the
day, the result OF which is an unusual state OF
order and quiet in all parts of the city. Sever
al arrests of popular dealers were made last
