| WASHINGTON, May 45h-The Howgate
| Arctic expedition met a black eye in the Cab
met to- day. 1t was discussed at some length,
and the general opinion expressed was that it
was not likely to result in benefit corre
spending TO the risk and outlay. The law
authorizing the expedition authorizes the
! Secretaries of War and Navy to detail men
to man the ships and the expedition. Both
these parties are doubtful about the pro-
priety of detailing men for the purpose. 1t
was proposed that they visit the ship and eX-
anime her outfit, with view to ascertaining
whether it would be well to detail men to go
to the Arctic regions upon the ship selected.

The Michigan Liquor Law-singular Pro-
ceedings at Detroit.
| DETROIT, May 4th.-The amended liquor
law of this State went into effect on the 1st,
that being the day when the increased tax
under it is required to be paid by all retailing
and wholesale dealers. The Common Coun-
ell of this city being completely in the hands
of the saloonists, they iuaugurated the most
extraordinary proceedings. The tax paid
under the law going into the contingent fund
| of the city treasury, the Council at its last
session instructed its Counselor to apply to
| the Circuit Court in the name of the
| city, for an injunction restraining all Off
GERS from receiving the taxes on the
ground that the law is unconstitutional. This
was actually done, the city authorities ap-
pearing in Court to ask that money be not
allowed to come into their own treasury. The
| real object was to have the saloonists' battle
against the law fought at the citys expense
| The application was argued at length yester-
day The City Counselor favored, and the
volunteer counsel opposed it. This morning
the Court denied the application. The whole
movement has aroused great Indignation
among the better class of citizens.
