the following letter from the Liquor Dealers
Association:
DEAR SIR: At regular meeting of the
Grccers and Liquor Dealers Association OF the
District Of Columbia the following resolu-
tion was unanimously adopted, a copy ofwhich
am instructed to send you, together with an
expression of the thanks of the association
RcSolred, That the thanks ofthis association
be rendered the Hon. Walter i. Hayes, second
congressional district OF Iowa, for the just,
legal, manly, and American position taken by
him In returning to Mrs. NJ. a. Weaver the SO.
called petition of citizens of Iowa, that the
evils Of prohibition under the forms of law
might be forced upon the people of Washing
ton. The operation of such a law would In
yolve the destruction of large interests estab.
lished in pursuance of and by the authority OF
law; would be subyersive of our national
spirit and genius, that spirit and genius that
produced a constitution under whose shield
man is freer and nobler than in any other
country in the world. It would involve, too
the question ofman's individual responsibility
the very cornerstone of cur civilization.

ACTIVE AND STRONGER.
Much More Courage Displayed in the
Stock Market.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The stock market was
more active epd stronger to day, there being
more outside buying orders OF the opening
than had been seen for months before, though
they were confined TO few leading stocks.
The sentiment on the street was more hope
full, and the bulls took hold with more cour-
age, while the bears, frightened by the favor
able outlook, began to run on their shorts, and
thus aided the general Improvement.
The market was unusually active at the
opening which was firm to strong at advances
ranging up TO "a per cent. After the first half
hour, during which about one.fourth OF the
days business was transacted, dullness inter
vefied, and the advance made but slight
progress until near noon The best prices Of
the day were reached, In many cases, at about
2 p. M, but the market was firm throughout,
and the close was dull, but firm, at about the
tonight.
Money on call has been easy, ranging

valedictorians Of the last two years have
shown unusual brightness and great schol-
arly attainments. The professor OF Greek
and three of the tutors who broke down
last year have suddenly reappeared, brighter
and stronger than ever and inquiry set on
foot has revealed the fact that all OF these
gentlemen, including the valedictorlans,
owe their wit, brain power, and health to

AS consequence the trustees and pro-
fessors made careful examination OF the
facts, and lengthy analysis Of the great

WnLIMANTIC, Conn, March "a. "A finan-
eial elimax that has for a long time been
pending was .eachod yesterday in the ai
fairs of the Willmantic Savings 1nstitu-
ton when q shortage or mlsappropriatlon
of the banks flnds to the amount Of $780,
600 was announced, owing, 1t is said, TO
series of transactions by Treasurer H. F.
Royce without the knowledge or consent Of
the directors. 1t is alleged that the trans
actions of Cashier Royce are tantamount
TO deiaication: When the present board
of directors were chosen in JuI3e, 1856, theY
soon found that Treasurer Royce was float
ing about $152, 900 Of accommodation paper
for New York parties whose names are
not now given and in October 1886, they
passed a vote directing that this paper as
fast as it matured should b. taken in. In
this way the amount was reduced to about
Sea OOd
The directors also discovered SYSTEM
OF floating checks between w illimantiC
and New York, amounting anywhere from
500, OOO to 1900, 900 per month, dll OF which
was done by Treasurer Royce without the
consent of the directors. Measures were
at once taken to stop this. A year ago the
bank received an application for SO, 900
loan on real estate of the United States
Stamping Company, of Portland, Conn.
The directors found the loan would not be
safe for over $4,000, and none was author
iZed
On the next examination it was found
that the $4,000 loan had been made on a
mortgage of that company's property, but
no record OF the mortgage could be found,
and it was subsequently found that the
whole property was covered by prior mort
cages. Efforts to collect this loan have
been Unsuccessful, but it Is expected somo'
thing will be realized.
Yesterday the directors suspended Treas
urer Royce and voted to scale the deposits
fifteen per cent, Frank F. Webb, assist
ant treasurer, was chosen to succeed
Royce The bank commissioners pro-
nouuced the institution sound after the
fifteen per cent scale. 1t IS said that
criminal proceedings will be instituted
against Royce at once, but he has not been
arrested

AN important decision has been rem
dered by United States Commissioner
Smith, of Seattle, Washington Terri
tory, in the case of the United States
against six sailors of the ship Fannie
Tucker, charged with disobedience and
disorder. The only authority for the
punishment of these seamen was ON act
of Congress of 1872, known as the
Shipping Commissioner act, which de-
fined the reciprocal duties of master
and seamen. In 1874 Congress passed
an amendatory law which prescribed
that none of the provisions of the act
of 1872, relating to Shipping Commits
missioners, seamen and masters should
apply to vessels engaged in the coast
wise trade. So far as coastwise vessels
are concerned it was urged that the
law of 1872 was practically repealed.
and that there was no law by which
the acts complained of could be pun
ished. The Commissioner decided this
ground well taken and the sailors were
discharged. According to this decision
no master has any protection from dis
obedience, dessrtion or mptinY
