OND VOLUME.
Mr.. Blaine is industriously at work on the
second volume of his history, writes Wash

of the first volume of his work was written.
The house in Lafayette square was old-fashion-

Correspondence of The Boston Journal.
PORTLAND, Me-. Jan. %. The war that has !
been waged against the saloon keepers of this
city for the past two weeks has been without a
parallel in the history of the Maine law. Up to
last evening 2l7 warrants for search and seizure
have been sworn out by Rev. Mr.. Muuson,
agent of the Law and Order League, and the
corridors of the police station and the rooms in
City Building occupied by the special liquor
sheriflS have been redolent with the fumes of
lager beer. About sixty barrels of beer have
been seized by the police and about seventy by
the liquor sheriffs. Only few of these were
full barrels. the balance containing varying
amounts. Some hard liquors have also been
obtained. but the amount is tritling compared
with the amount of beer seized. During the
past few day almost nothing has been obtained
by the officers. the saloon keepers having pre-
pared themselves for the situation, and it will
probably be ii long time before similar amount
Of beer l. found in the basement of City Hall.
The typical seizure consists of a sprinkler
partly filed with beer, and one or two bottles
OF other drinkables, the total quantity being of
almost value. whatever other stocks the
saloon keepers have on baud being kept secure
" guarded from search and seizure process.
Full half hundred beer barrels have been
einp'ie" mo Tue sewers uul'ps 'ie past WV
days, and more are to follow. The officers
have special traps for this purpose leading
