WILLAMANrIc, Conn.,, May 10.-The
climax in the case Of the Willamantic
Savings Institution was reached to-
day in thr arrest of Cashier Royce on
seventy five counts, which indicate
that Royce's rascalities have been
more bold and extended than at first
expected. The indictments allege
tine misuse Of deposits and the making
of false entries for large number Of
notes and bills receivable which were
never sent for collection. He is also
charged with appropriating about $685.,
600 at different times, keeping false
accounts of all his transactions and
suppressing entirely from his books
certain credit amounts due for good
notes sent to New FORK for collection
and paid by New York banks. Royce
takes his arrest coolly, and openly
boasted that all the Directors will be
implicated as equally guilty with him
self. The loss to the bank was paid
by the reserve fund.

Dill lU0, one Oh Iue dCIS TGldJlN6 u
the liquor question, was before the
House for discussion on Monday and
Tuesday. This bill amends section II of
the liquor law (of 1892 by making the
restrictions on the jobbers little easier.
1t further amends section Is by provid-
ing that liquor saloons Gncluding hotel
bars) shall be closed at 10 O'Clock at
night. But it is the new section, 16B,
which has caused the close discussion
on the bill. 1t is noteworthy that the
report recommending the adoption of
this bill was signed by Mr.. Frank Brown.
He makes no secret, however, of the fact
that his signing it was in the nature of
bargain. Section 16B proposes to enact
here the celebrated anti-screen law. If
adopted, liquor saloons will be compelled
to abolish screens, blinds, painted or
stained glass windows and any other
method of concealing the interior of the
saloon. The opposition to this clause
combines two curiously opposite parties:
those who are in favor of unrestricted
liquor and those who are in favor of
temperance on general principles and
even of prohibition, but who regard the
whole question of temperance legislation
as practically excluded from the present
legislature, on account of a tacit agree
ment to that effect before the election,
which induced an overwhelming vote
for all of the reform candidates. Those
in favor of the clause are also of two
parties; those who favor any and all
prohibition legislation and some who re-
gard the screen law as merely an appro-
pirate police regulation.
There is no doubt that in some dis
tricts at least, and with some candidates
on both Noble and Representative tick
cts, there was such tacit understand
free from any pledge-except to support
the reform platform. Mr.. Kinney led
the opposition to the screen law on the
theory that the present House has nc
the only fair and honorable method is to
submit the whole question to the suf-
frages of the electors in 1890, and that
those who take any other course now
will be overwhelmingly SHOWED under"
in 1890. This at least assumes that an
overwhelming number of electors are
opposed to any restrictive legislation on
the liquor question. 1t does not seem to
accord with the great number of petit
lions to the last session from all over the
country praying for restriction and pro-
hibition legislation. We believe that
the Attorney-General presented the mat
ter in the correct light: that it would
have been better not to have introduced
the bill at all, but as it had come before
the Legislature the only manly way was
to treat the question wholly on its merits
As for himself he was perfectly willing to
be " showed under" if it was on such
question as that, or upon the rights of
the people in general as opposed to one
man power, or upon proper restriction
upon the Chinese.
The screen law section was rejected by
a vote of q to 19-the vote being carried
by those who believe the question has
no place in the present session. This
probably ends all specially temperance
legislation at this session.
