THE LIQUOR QUESTION.

The liquor question is giving the Re
publieans trouble in several of the states.
The temperance element generally in
sists upon an advance in the direction
of prohibition, but the politicians are
timid, and afraid of the Germans and
the liberal portion of the party. In
Ohio the constitution prohibits any Ii
eense of liquor selling, and to eyade this
it is called tax, and supreme court
was elected of men able to see the diff
ference. This tax has been put at 5000.
and it is now proposed to appease the
temperance feeling by raising it to $500.
The German Republicans call a halt,

LONDON, Jan. 21.-lt is stated upon
most excellent authority that the En-
glish government has decided to uphold
the treaty by the provisions of which
European powers are precluded from
obtaining OF attempting to obtain domi-
nance of Samoa. England has been
fully informed of the views of the
American government on the matter,
and is in full accord with the opinions
held in Washington. The two govern
ments are agreed that the action OF the
agents of Germany in Samoa is opposed
to the letter and spirit OF the
treaty. and also violates diplomatic
etiquette and endangers the good
ence of Americans and Europeans
when dealing with semi-barbarOuS ma
tiOns. Dispatches have been sent to
Berlin couched in language conveying
the foregoing sense of the situation.
The latest news received by Lord Sails
bury from Apia is of menacing char
acter, and the admiralty have therefore
ordered the strength of the Pacific fleet

two powerful vessels. Count Won HAITI

to. the high-tax demand. 1t may be
taken for granted that there will be no
movement in the direction of restriction
or increased burdens that will endanger
the German vote. This could easily
throw Cincinnati and all the large cities
against the party. In many other states
there is demand for submission Of
prohibitory amendments. 1t requires
careful steering to keep the party solid
with all the elements.

Cabinet Gossip.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 2t-Gen.
Harrison had the usual large number
of Monday callers, and was occupied
pretty much all day in receiving visit
ors, snatching few minutes now and
then to dictate a reply to some letter.
His mail continues to be loaded down
with applications and petitions for small
Offices, which he finds no time to ex-
anime now, and it would be better all
around if such communications were
withheld until after March 4. Among
the prominent out-of-town visit
ors to-day was Hon. T. FL. Car
ter, delegate elect to congress
from Montana, and Hon. G. A. Math-
ewS, delegate-elect to congress from
Dakota. They are en- route to Wash
ihgtOn, and stopped over to have talk
on , territorial matters. They are, of
course, urgent for the speedy admission
of their territories as states. Two Gin
cinnati visitors were Dr.. William Fink
bine and A. M. Symmes. l.. Bradford
Prince, eX-asSociate justice of New
Mexico, and George Christ, of NOgales,
Ariz., also called. Judge Prince is a
native of New York, and a warm per-
sonal friend of Warner Miller. His visit,
however, had no reference to New
York politics, but to territorial affairs.
Prince says that the Republicans of
New Mexico are unanimous for the
early removal of General Land Sur
veyor George w. Julian, and that he ac-
uuMnted Gen. Harrison of this fact.
An report credits Judge
Prince with seeking the suryeyOrShip

is native of Iowa, and was formerly a
special treasury agent, but has resided
i'm Arizona several years, so that his APP
pointment would harmonic with the
''home rule" plank in the Republican
platform. He says he did not call to
press his candidacy for the governor
ship, but merely to pay his respects. G.

ISthmuS Receive encouraging
News From France.
Special TO the Globe.
PANAMA, Jan. 21.-MM. Vauxonne
and Boileau arrived to-day from Paris,
bringing good news to the thousands of
men at work on the Panama canal. 1t
was to the effect that in all human
probability work on the great enter
prise would be continued without inter-
ruption; that the French people would
subscribe another S100,00O,000 in addi-
ton to the vast sums already expended,
and bring the gigantic work to com
pletion. These gentlemen report that
when they left France, Christmas day,
it was quite evident that the requisite
money would be forthcoming, and they
were therefore sent back to Panama
with instructions to NJ. lacquer, the
resident director, to push the work
steadily, on the assumption that the
new loan would be subscribed. The
last of January will definitely decide
the canal as far as France is concerned,
says the director here, adding that work
will continue steadily until the Goth
inst, under any circumstances, and per-
haps beyond that date, for there is still
sufficient money in the treasury to keep
the Work going lOT luIcG HOuliiSs DuL
if the decision of the French sharehOld-
ers should be adverse, the suspension
will only be temporary, for new ele-
ments will step in and reap where others
have sown. 1t is well that this news
has come so OPPORTUNITY. The uncer-
tainty which has prevailed regarding
the possible action of the French people
has put the motley population along the
line of the canal in state of inciplent
tumult. Yesterday it was reported that
1000 men had been discharged at Gale
bra; that fight was in progress, and
that twenty Chinese had been killed.
Your correspondent fastened to Gale
bra and found the laborers simply en-
ioying holiday, one of the contractors
having suspended work for two days.
An hour among this mongrel horde
gives one an idea of what might happen
if this army of 1900 reckless men with
their female followers were turned
adrift penniless, for to get them here
they were paid month in advance.
Should the work be suspended, and this
happen, there will be sorry times on the
isthmus. When the United Press CORE
spondent called on M. Jaquier. the di-
rector general at Panama, and spoke of
the grave possibility of mob and blood
shed, he said: There will be no trouble
of any kind, the work will be steadily
