WASHINGTON Oct. 1.-THE government de
cides that United States troops cannot now b,
used to aid in breaking up, illicit dstilleries ii
Arkansas, as requested by the collector at Lit
tie Rock. The internal revenue commissions,
has, however, written to the collector, author.
izing him to employ as large force as neces-
sary to break up the stills and secure the ar
rest of offenders. The force will be armed and
the collector is instructed to organize a force
large enough to overcome resistance and with
out bloodshed, if possible.
The greater part of the cabinet session to-
day was devoted to estimates for the next fiscal
year. 1t is generally understood that the fall
ing of in revenues renders absolutely necessa-
ry corresponding reduction of expense An
other subject briefly discussed was the revenue
troubles in Arkansas. The opinion of the at
torney-gcneral was read, in effect that the civil
authorities must exhaust all means to enforce
the law before the military can be used. The
assistant attorney general for the postoffice de-
partment has gone to Little Rock to represent
the government in the prosecution of several
alleged violations of the postal law Miss Alb
bic Carter, sister of the interior department
agent Carter, who recently died of yellow fever
in Mississippi, has received an appointment in
the land office. B. r. Cornelius has been ap-
pointed revenue storekeeper ard gaugcr for the
sixth district of North Carolina.
LONDON, Oct. IA Berlin dispatch says:
In the reichstag yesterday during the debate
on the anti-socialist bill Herr HasselInann,
well-known socialist agitator, made violent
though clever speech, beginning and ending
with threats of violence and bloodshed as the
results of repressivc legislation. He said the
people would hold those responsible for blood |
shed who helped frame and carry the bill. In
conclu'i ling. Hasselmann declared that if the |
pacific endeavors of socialism were repressed, |
the day would come when the socialists would |
take up arms and fight against their tyrants.
The president of the reichstag interrupted Has
selmann, called him to order and said the
speech was an excitement to rebellion. Hassel
mann repeated his words and was again called
TO order amid loud and indignant protests. He

prepare for united effort in Congress
next session to secure some needed
changes. There is now bill before

ton of mail matter-a bill that was pre-
pared in the post-office department
and established uniform and consis.

was called to discuss this bill, and was
expected to suggest improvements in
it. 1t was expected also that an argu-
ment showing the necessity of its pas
sage would be prepared for presentation
to Congress At the invitation of the
publishers, the postmaster-general ap-
pointed Edgar J. Dallas, chief of the

clerk, to attend the convention as the
representatives of the post-otfice de-

stroig dislike to one OF the Professors.
who, beings good deal of martinez,
was in the habit of lecturiug the students
for tardiness and other misdemesnOrs.
The professor was a member of society
If which Barr happened to be President,
and occasionally attended the meetings.
One evening he came in while they were
tfansscting business. Burr saw his OPP
portunity, and determined to improve it.
With great dignity and severe couu-
tenance, he called on the professor to
rise. He then began to lecture him on
the bad habit of want IF punctuality
adding that the older members we're ex-
pected to set good example to the
younger.
II Lope," he said, in closing, mot to
he under the necessity of recurring to
the SUBJECT again. You may take your

The whole thing was done so naturally
aud gravely that the professor submitted
like u schoolboy, aud it was said that .

students followed. He had learned by
experiehce the disagreeableness Of per-
