LIQUOR QUESTION

The Committee 1.epor. Adversely Tie Bill
For an Alcoholic comlhlssIon-asn.
eral Capital News aud Iuaugura-
tlon Notes Of Interest,"

WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. 1.-THE joint
resolution providing for an Alcoholic Lii
quor Traffic Commission, which was to-
day reported back adversely by the House
Committee having the matter in charge is
accompanied by report in which tile
committee says: "The power to regulate
tho retail liquor traffic has from the time
OF the foundation OF the country been re-
garded as exclusively the rights Of States
rather than the general Government. At
tempts have been made by some States 10
entirely prohibit the manufacture or sale
ofspirituous or malt liquors, but with. lit
tic apparent success, and the interests Of
temperance and sobriety, SO much to be
desired, would seem to demand wise and
stringent restrictions and effective safe
guards in connection with the liquor
traffic rather than the impracticable eff.
forts at absolute prohibition.
"To the States OF the Union properly
belongs the right to enact such local
police regulations rs will throw every
proper restriction around the liquor traffic
compatible with the personal aud proper
rights OF the citizen, but uniform police
regulations enacted by Congress psac-
tically suited to the different wants aud
requirements ofthe people OF the various
States would be difficult to frame and
more difficult TO cnact. Any attempt to
control the personal habits aud private
conduct OF individuals should be opposed
so long as he docs not interfere with the
personal rights Of Others or the peace and
order Of society in general.n
Asiti Is q matter OF grave doubt whether
Congress has right to regulate the
liquor tratllc in the several States Of tho
Union, and as there seems to bc no great
pressing or urgent necessity for the pas
sage OF this bill, your committee holds It
is not advisable 10 exercise doubtful pow
ers, which appear most properly belong
To the States themselves.

urged him to accept the place. II 1t was
offered to him. Alter much persuasion
Manning said he would take the office.
It Is isuderstood tonight that the formal

easily persuaded to take Manning, as he
desired the aid Of such o powerful poll
tician and devoted friend at Washington.

friend in the, Cabinet, and this he se.
cures in Manning. Besides, Manning is
Chairman Of the Democratic State Com-
mittee Of this State. He Understands thor
oughly its politics. Next Fall all the State
officers are elected. AS New York goes

fight was with bare knnckles and round
was not completed until ono OF the princi-
pals was knocked down. The encounter,
though short, was bloody. The men
fought seven ronnds, and when time was
called for the eighth round they made
such feeble response that the referee de-
clared the fight draw. Both.were terri
lypunished and could hardly DO recog-
nized by their friends. They were carried

out to Schulz, county Cork, where the
aged widow named Cunningham resides.
The officers declared that the. old lady was
tho mother OF James Cunningham, the
alleged dynamiter now under arrest in
London, and thought some evidence
against tho son might be found, SO they
went 10 the mis-. rable little lloyel where
Mrs. Cunningham lives aud took posses
sion for the purpose OF q search. The
woman besides being old Is Ill and de-
crepit, and instead Of offering resistance
10 the officers she was badly frightened by
their visit. A thorough ransack ofthe
house resulted in the discovery ofseyeral
letters to Mrs. Cunningham from "her
boy'' who wasaway seeking his fortune"
One OF these letters was written in Lon
don. None, OF them state the occupation

dated since the London explosion. Whom

A GREAT GUN.
Capt. Ehcsson's Destroyer Recommended
to be Purchased.

WAsnlNeroS, D. O., Feb. 1.-THE
Senate Naval Committee has advised the
purchase Of Captain John Ericsson's De-
stroyer for $4,000, with the privilege OF
buying also the patents relating. to the
vessel for $4,000 more. The vessel is
intended for harbor defense, and the
action OF the gun It carries is submarine.
The vessel is, in fact, only the carriage for
the gun, which is 30 feet long, 10 inch
aperature and carries projectile 25 feet
long, Weighing 1850 pounds. The ex-
plosive charge Is 800 pounds OF gun cotton.
The range Is limited, and the discharge
must take place within 800 feet OF the
enemy's ship. Thick armor is thus neces.
sary for the Destroyer. There has been
and is much difference OF opinion among
naval officers as to to the value Of Etics-
sons invention. The fact that he had
conducted at his own expense along series
OF useful experiments, ofwhich the Gov
ernment has partially reaped the benefit,
and further, the remembrance OF his
Invaluable services Of his monitor"
during the war, have doubtless had much
TO do with inclining the committee 70
recommend the purchase and trial OF his
new engine OF naval destruction. IA
