PROHIBITION DOES PRoHIsIT.
Prohibition In Kansas Largely Dinnin-
lshes Liquor Drinking and Crime.

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-The Daily News says
this morning: From one end of the coun
try to the other people are asking the ques-
ton, Does prohibition prohibit?' For the
purpose of learning the experience of Kansas
upon the subject letter was recently ad-
dressed by the Daily News to every Probate
Judge in that State asking the following
questions:
How does the number of saloons in your
vicinity and the amount of beverages sold at
Icons and sales prior to the adoption of pro-
hibltion measures?s
What is the state of crime, particularly
that class of offences which grow directly
out of the use of alcoholic beverages as COM
pared with the period preceding prohibition
in Kansas?
This information was sought from the
Probate Judges for the reason that. these
officials are directly concerned with the ad-
minlstration of the prohibition law, and, in
for arriving at intelligent and definite con-
clusions, while from the nature Of their
offices and the considerations influencing
their election they may be regarded as re-
nectlng the prevailing sentiment of their in
diyldual counties. Replies have been re-
ceived from 49 OF these, or from more than
one-half of the entire number. The replies
show that the question asked by the people
Is answered Overwhelmingly in the aifirma-
tive. Only five eounties-Sheridan, Ford,
Clark, Republic and Harper pronounce the
law unqualiiedly failure; in Kingman it is
frankly admitted that the law is not en-
forced; in Rush, Trego, Riley and Clay,
although the replies are rather in the nature
OF opinions, as are almost all of those above
mentioned, instead of statement of observed
fact they are rather favorable than other
wise. With these exceptions the answers
show decrease in the use intoxicating
drinks in Kansas. ranging from so to 70 per
cent, and in crimes and offences growing
directly out of the use Of such drinks a de-
crease of from so to 90 per cent. 1t is worth
noticing that the counties which pronounce
prohibition failure are surrounded by or
adjoin others in which the most satisfactory
results are claimed

AN ALARMING STATE OF AFFAIRS
Said to Exist in York County, south
Carolina.
An Organization of coiored People
Who Steal and Murder.

CHARLESTON. S. O., Dec. i6.-John Lee
Good, white boy, was beaten to death in
York county, a week ago, by four negroes,
who had been detected by him in stealing
cotton from his fathers field. The News
and Courier sent reporter to York to inves-
tigate the matter, and his conclusion is as
follows: There is evidently an alarming
state of affairs in York county, and it IS
proved conclusively that an organization ex-
lists among the colored people which contem-
plate murder in the event of the detection of
any member accused of crime. Twenty-six
negroes are now under arrest. The inquest
on the body of the murdered boy, before a
discreet jury, brought out all Of the facts
One Of the negroes turned States evidence,
and another admitted he killed man in the
county 18 months ago. Several of the color
ed witnesses at the inquest swore distinctly
that they had club or clan in the county
for the purpose Of stealing cotton, proyis-
ions, whiskey, etc. The members were to
steal whatever they wanted, and if detected
were sworn to kill the person who detected
them. The club was known as Rising Star
Lodge, No. "a, of the Grand United Order of
National Laborers' Aid Protective Society of
North America.

Wants to Marry An Indian Girl.

washington special 10 the sun
rather novel request was received Satur-
day at the interior department from young
man living in Nebraska, who wants to marry
a daughter of Standing Bear. a Sioux chief.
He tells who he is and encloses photograph
Of the girl, who Is very good looking, and
was educated at Carlisle. The young man,
however, wishes to so and live on the reser-
vation with his prospective wife and her re-
lations, and for this reason 1t was necessary
TO obtain the permission of the interior de-
partment. White men are not allowed to
stay on an Indian reservation unless they
have authority from the government to do so
therefore this young man was obliged to take
the government into his confidence and re-
veal his love affairs.
Secretary Lamar considered the matter
from its practical rather than its sentimental
side, and concluded that while he could not
prev mt the young man marrying the girl, he
could prevent him from going to live with
the old folks, and if he was as anxious to
marry the young woman, as he professed to
be, he might scratch around and provide her
with home. The secretary will write q
letter to the lover, and, while not discour-
aging the ardor of his love, will suggest the
practical view of the situation, which seems
to have escaped him. Until there is some
change in the present plans of the young man
the Daternal benediction of the interior de-
partment win be withheld

SENATE.
WASHINGTON, Dec. !

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15'
Among the memorials presented in the
Senate today was one by Mr. Frye from the
Bath, Maine, Board Of Trade against the
admission of foreign built ships to American
registry.
The following bills were reported from the
post office committee and placed on the cal
endar: To amend the postal money order
system; to extend the free delivery system.
MIR. Cull0m presented the conference re-
port on the interstate commerce bill, asked
that it be printed and suggested that he
would next Monday ask the Senate to take 1t
up, when, If debate were desired, 1t might
be postponed. He hoped, however, that no
Senator would insist on the motion to post
pone it until after the holidays.
MIR. Platt then called up his resolution that
executive nominations shall hereafter be
considered in open session, except when
otherwise ordered by vote of the Senate.
Mr. Hoar moved to lay the resolution on
the table. Agreed to-yeas, 33; nays, u.
Mr.. Beck called up the bill prohibiting
Senators or Representatives from acting as
attorneys for subsidized railroad companies,
the question being on the substitute reported
from the judiciary committee.
Mr.. Beck opposed the substitute and adj
yocated the bill as introduced by himself
The substitute was unjust and absurd, and
intended to defeat the measure which Sem
ators dared not vote down directly. 1t was
indecent for Senators and members to sit
road companies to the amount OF hundreds
of millions while having money Of those cor
porations in their pockets.
Mr.. MaXey advocated the original bill, and
on behalf of his absent colleague (Mr. Coke)
offered an amendment, which has the effect
substantially of restoring the bill to its orig
inal form as introduced by Mr. Beck
Without reaching vote, the Senate at 4
o'clock went into executive session, and
whe n the doors were reopened adjourned.

House then at 4.50 O'Clock adjourned.
