mencing May first. At last evening
meeting of the Committee on Ordinances,
q strong delegation of saloon keepers was
present, and although no formal action
was taken by the Committee, owing to the
absence Of one member necessary to make
a quorum, still there Was q very general
expression of opinion on all sides. The
sentiment of the representatives OF the
liquor interest was not only in favor Of a
reduction in the amount of license hereto
fore asked BY the city, but they also string
ly favored some system Of monthly, quart

MEASURE OF RELIEF.

The idea, as outlined by one or two gen
tlemen, was to have the deferred payments
secured to the city by note, with approved
security, as was done during one year not
long past, so that should the city be in
urgent need Of cash ct any time, the whole
batch of notes could be discounted.
The following resolution, presented in
the FIRST Branch BY Mr.. Kinney, was be-
fore the committee, bat action upon it was
deferred until Monday evening, when full
attendance OF the committeeman at present
in the city is earnestly desired:
Resolved, That the Committee on Ordi-
nsuces, when preparing the ordinance fix
ing amount of license tax on ordinances
and coffee houses for the year commencing
on the frat Monday in May, 1886, be in.
structed TO inquire into the expediency OF
making said tax payable as follows One
halt on the first Monday in May, and the
other halt on the first Monday in Novem.
Der Of said year, and if found expedient, to
report by ordinance.
The committeeman present last evening
-Messrs Caldwell Chairman, and Dob
bins. Warehouse and Healy-remained in
session until after nine clock, hoping that
some other gentleman might come in and
thus make quorum. but their waiting was
in vain, and an adjournment was had un.
til Monday evening. On Monday after
noon at o'clock the saloon keepers
WILL OLD A MEETING
TO determine definitely upon the course
they will pursue, and will also appoint o
committee to urge their claims upon the at,
tention of the members Of the Council
Committee 10 the evening.
Ssloonists present last evening were very
earnest in their statements that some re-
lief must be had by them at the hands of
Council. One Of them said: State United
States aud city Licenses make an awful hole
in FIVE hundred dollars, and with the i'm.
mense shrinksge in business | cannot
stand it longer. My expenses-snd keep
a very small and modest place-sre 81 40
per day before pay for Any food or cloth
log for my family, and yesterday took in
81 35, and to day not much more If Coun
Gil fails TO relieve rs the number of licenses
taken out this year will be very much
smaller than last.
Another gentleman said, with reference
to the system Of partial payments: Per
sonally am in favor OF making the license
payable monthly in advance, so that the
drain upon us will he less. Three hun
dred dollars is large sum to most saloon
keepers these days, and many cannot raise
the money, while with system Of monthly,
or even quarterly payments, we could get
along, and the city would loose nothing
The members Of our Association are very
much in earnest in this matter, and think
Council should give favorable considera-
ton TO their appeal

TIE SEA SERpENr SEASoN.

The sea serpent mas gone into winter
quarters in the Connecticut river, near
Cromwell, in the agricultural region of
that state. In the early part of the sea-
son he cavorted about the romantic shore
Of Gloucester, then he was seen through
the bottom of glass, darkly, at Marble
head. In few weeks competent wit
nesses saw him at Hampton, where he
winked at Boar's Head, and one man in
formed the public that he could see him
almost any clear day bobbing up and down,
when the tide was low, quite distance
out to sea. Then he took an excursion in
the placid waters of the Hudson, oc-
casionly sticking his head up to enjoy the
beautiful scenery. He gave Cas- lie Garden
the grand shake and sneaked or
snaked under the big bridge, and up
through He'll Gate that was When next
seen he was perambulating the shores of
the Connecticut river, and substantial
farmer ran across him rather unexpected
ly. 1t appears from authentic reports
that the farmer was crossing the river
from Cromwell, in the early morning, In
a skiff, to get some rougk stone for the
foundation OF new farm house. When
near the middle Of the stream, and in the
main channel of the river, his skif struck
some object which he at frst supposed to
be a snag. At the next moment, he says,
his boat was lifted clear out OF the water
The shock was so sudden that he fell OF
his seat to the bottom OF the boat, and
while he lay there the skiff glided
again into the river. He got up t.
see what was the matter, and at the
same moment his ears were deafeuec
by great noise in the water, He looked
about him, and saw an animal whose
head stood ten feet above the water ant
was larger than barrel. The ANNA
had eyes as large as saucers. They wer,
intensely black, and emitted a phosphor
escent glesm. The colonel Is evidently ,

the Garden Of Eden. OF course It made
a good many conversions. The above is
the last public appearance the sea serpent
has made this year, although the New
York Star is authority for the statement
that he was recently seen at Rye beach.
Diligent inquiry and an interview with a
gentleman OF this city who owns cot
tage there, and has been searching for him
ali summer, falls to confirm this report,
however. We put no confidence In snakes
seen either in Rye or Bourbon. There Is
little doubt about the locality OF the sea
serpent at the present time; he is In the
Connecticut river, and may be looked for
again next summer, when the gay butter
flies of fashion and funds seek the cool
breezes of old ocean.

THE BuLGAR1AN IMBRoqLIo.

Some years ago Prince Alexander as
sumed sovereign authority over Bulgaria
and Roumelia, and this action was ratified
by the great powers in the eaty Of Ber-
lin. No change Of government can take
place without the consent of the sigma
tory powers, and by virtue of the Berlin
treaty, Prince Alexender's successor must
be unanimously elected by those powers.
The true disposition of the powers to-
wards the prince may be learned from the
fact that In case they could not agree
upon successor, this clause OF the treaty
would give them pretext for partition
ing his dominions among themselves.
1t is plain, therefore, that no European
power can dethrone the Bulgarian prince,
or seize his possessions, without the con-
sent Of the other great powers, except at
the risk Of being held responsible by the
latter There was, however, one way,
and only one, in which Russia might OBJ.
tain possession Of Bulgaria with impuni.
ty, and that was by inducing the reigning
prince to abdicate voluntarily in favor OF
Russian authority. From the manner In
which Prince Alexander has bowed tc
the dictates OF Russian agents, 1t woult
seem that he is acting in collision witt
the car to attain this object. By thi'
means the car will gain, peaceably, wha'
he could not attain in open war-namely
possession OF the fertile provinces OF Bull
garia and Roumelia, beyond the frontier
of which, the road to the gates of Con
stantinople is one of the most strateg
ical points in Europe, and once is threat
ened by Russian occupatio1s the arma
ments of Germany, OF Austria and Ell
gland will be ready for immediate wal
and one or other of these, proosbly Aus
tria, will lead the march against Russia
