High License in Missouri.

ST. LOUIS, July 3.-There having been great
diversity OF opinion, not only among the city
officials, but lawyers as to whether what is
known as the Dawing hlgh-license law, passed
by the Legislature last winter, applied to St
Louis as we'll as other sections of the State
an agreed case was made up and presented tc
the Supreme Court. That court rendered g
decision this afternoon that the law was not
only constitutional, but applies to st. Louis
This settles the matter, and hereafter dram

committed, will be forced out of existence
and that the entire traffic in liquor will be
better regulated than ever before.

IMPRISONED sWEDES.
The Swedish Minister Calls Attention to the
Gases of "a Number of Mill Hands.

CONCORD, N. H., July 3.-The Swedish and
Norwegian ministers have called the attention
of the Secretary of State of the United States
to the arrests and imprisonment of Swedish
emigrants by manufacturers corporations at
Suncook. 1t appears that the companies
have been importing help from these coun-
tries and it is claimed by the corporations
that the help owes the companies for their
passage money, which the operatives deny.
Investigation is now being made. Through
some of their countrymen the arrested par
ties sent petition to the Swedish minister,
setting forth that far away from their
home, in a new country, whose language
they cannot speak, and whose laws they do
not understand, they have, on charges un-
known to them, been arrested and impris-
oned, and asking that they be released and
allowed damages for false incarceration. The
arresting officer says, however, that in every
case an interpreter was furnished and the ac-
oused told that the charges were for debt and
the arrests were made in the belief that they
were about to flee the State
OF the 165 Swedes which the Suncook cor
porations received through the Inman steam
ship line more than half have gone away,
leaving the trades people creditors to the
amount of thousand dollars 1t is stated
that the corporations contracted for reliable
help, but many of them were extremely un-
reliable, there being quite a number OF insane
persons. idiots and jailbirds.

The ChIcago Street railways.

CHICAGO. July 9-The charters of the three
Chicago street railway companies expire by
limitation the present year, and under the
original grant the city has the right to pur-
chase the roads at their appraised value. A
proposed renewal of the charter has provoked
wide discussion, and proposition has been
made by ten capitalists to advance the money
for the purchase of the roads and pay into
the city treasury annually 10 per cent. of the
gross revenue. The street railroad officials
deny that such a proposition can be, or has
been made. Their supposed willingness to
accede the rights of the city to revenue from
them is shown in an ordinance submitted to
council last night. to pay yearly license of
$50 on each car operated on condition that
the charters are renewed for twenty years.
The ordinance was referred.

The Case of the Louisiana LOttery-Legal
Decisions Bearing on the Case.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, July 3.-Since the Postmas-
ter-general announced his intention of
breaking up the monopoly of the mails en-
joyed by the Louisiana Lottery Company
the postal lottery scandal has been very
generally discussed. The failure OF previous
attempts to shut the mails against this pow
erful and INSCRIPTIONS "skin" concern is
frequently recalled, and the opinion is haz-
arded in some quarters that the company is
strong enough to beat the Postmaster
general in his own department, it having
succeeded, in some way, to secure not only
immunity from interference but official
recognition of Legitimacy through three ad-
ministratons. 1t is extremely impro bable.
however, that the occult influence that has
heretofore operated to prevent the exclusion
of Louisiana lottery matter from the mails
will serve now.
In discussions upon this question
atterly, the fact seems to have been
lost sight of that the Supreme
Court of the United States rendered Il
decision having direct and very important
bearing on the question at issue, viz. tie

Terms of the Treaty of Peace-Chili Pre-
pared to Withdraw.
PANAMA, June 23.-The Chilians are max
ing preparations to evacuate the north of
Peru and hand it over to Iglesas, who is
rapidly rising in public esteem. The princi-
pei provisions of the treaty are as follows:
The absolute cession of Tarapaca; the fate of
africa and Tacna to be decided by plebiscite
after ten years military occupation by Chilli,
the losing nation receiving $40, 600 from
the country acquiring the property. Chilli to
pay over to Peruvian bondholders one half
of the net proceeds of the guano taken
from the deposits now know to
exist in the ceded territory, those that may
be hereafter brought to light to be the ex-
elusive property of Chill. Private interests
held in nitrate deposits will be respected by
Chill. Indemnity to be paid to the Chilians
who suffered losses through expulsion from
Peru will be discussed at some future time.
Chilli will give to Peru one-half the net pro-
ceeds obtained from guano at the Lobos is
lands.
Municipal and other Peruvian authorities
in different towns throughout the north
have been notified by the Chilians that they
are prepared to withdraw from all points
where Iglesias is recognized.

Gulf of Uraba, the earth opened and water
issued, flooding the streets to depth of two
feet, and many houses were shaken down.
The small villages OF Bujuies and Nicuraco
were completely engulfed. The mouth of
the river Leon, which emptied into the At

the district the movement Of earth is so con-

lowed by sharper one, when shocks were
also felt at San Salvador and Guayaquil.

Mr.. Logan he is willing to treat for peace
upon a rational basis.
