BEER ON SUNDAY.
Is the Act Of 1857 Invalid as Well az
That of 1858?

Today in the Police Court Henry Raebe, the
East Washington brewer, was charged with
violating the law by selling beer on Sunday.
The prosecution was brought under the act of
1857. Judge Mills heard the testimony of sew
eral witnesses, who, he thought tried to shield
the defendant, and gave Judgment against
Raebe in the sum Of s25. Mr.. Oscar Nauck,
who secured a decision holding the old act OF
1853 null and void, yesterday expressed his be-
lief that this act came within the same cate
CORY, and tomorrow Mr.. Sillers, who appeared
for Mr. Raebe, will ask for new trial to test
the legality of the law.

THE LAKES
Secretary Proctor will leave the city tonight
for Marblehead, Mass, to spend q few days
with his family. He will then 60 70 Fort
Niagara. NY, where he will be joined by MAJ.
Gen. Schofeld, commanding the army. Il is
the intention Of Secretary Proctor TO make a
personal visit at this time to the eastern frontier
posts with view to determining their reiia-
oility in case Of possible war with
England, and his Investigations will
extend to the possibilities of the situation Ne
we'll as to what already exists. Visits will be
made to the post at Ssckett's Harbor and TO
Plattsburg barracks and possibly TO Fort
Brady on the Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. which is
at one Of the narrowest portions OF the lake
border line. At Fort Brady new barracks and
other buildings are to be erected, the appro-
priations having already been made, and il
it the desire of the Secretary TO look over the
ground and to establish the post in the best
possible manner. He and Gen. Schofeld
have already recommended the enlargement OF
Plattsburg barracks by the addition of several
companies as they consider this to be a mos;
important strategic point for the defense OF
the eastern part OF the state Of New
York. They may look over the
ground Of the frontier between this point
and Madison barracks, at Sackett's Harbor.
with view to the establishment at some con-
venientspot of a new post designed to cover
the approach to the lakes and 10 prevent in.
roads from the north.
wELLASD AND ERIE CANALS
The Weliand canal is the only hope that Eng.
land has Of being able to place a gunboat fee,
on the lakes. and at the mouth Of this means
of communication the Secretary and general
will pay some attention. The Secretary has
recently had called to his attention plan for
the enlargement of the Erie canal, which is al
present about six feet deep, with a view to its
possible use as a water way for defensive and
offensive measures in case of war. certain
officer Of the army has conceived tho idea OF
opening up this canal to admit Of the passage
Of lght-draught gunboats from New York
harbor, SO that this country may be able &c
checkmate any naval maneuvers Of
England with a view to the occupation
of the lakes. The vast amount Of wealth and
the large population of the cities which border
our side of the lake shores render it almost nee
essary that this government should take some
steps toward their protection. and this Erie
canal project Is receiving no little attention
THE SCHEME
is TO have the state Of New York do the work
which would be inexpensive as compared with
the original cost of that channel and then to
have the government issue a subsidy to the
state in payment. 1t is by no means improb-
able that the Secretary may, with the author.
ity Of Congress, order a survey by
the engineer corps of the cana
with a view to the determination of the cost O.

vessels as the Yorktown, Petrol, Concord, Ben.

for calculation, and may meet with favor at the
hands of Congress-

DISCUSSED.
The Senate this morning amended the river
and hsrbor bill, increasing the appropriation
Tor the work on the Potomac fats NJ Washing
ton from s24O. 900 to sSOO OOO
Mr.. Frye offered the following amendment
to the clause relating 70 the Potomac fats;
On page IS, after line % add;
And the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad
Company are hereby authorized, at their own
cost aud expense. 20 build a new wagon road
between the north end OF the main channel

Provided, That the building az the said wagon
road ana any improvements or notifications in
the old structure shall be done under ths super-
VISION OF and according 20 such plans as may
Dc approved by the Secretary OF War"
Mr. KDNUNDs oBJEcrS
Mr.. Edmunds objected that there seemed 70
be railroad in this amendment aud suggested
that it go over. so that il might be looked
into 1t was legislation and he thought il had
no place on tins bill.
Mr.. Frye explained thst he had examined
into the matter, that the object was to obviats
sharp curve IN the tracks At the Long Bridge.
and that Il had the approval of the engineers
Mr.. Edmunas still thought the matter had
better go over, aud Mr.. Frye withdrew Il with
the announcement that he would offer il later
on.
Meanwhile Mr.. Edmunds will look into the
question.
TBE QUESTION OF TITLE.
There was considerable discussion over the
/ general question Of the appropriation for the
Potomac river Improvement The question OF
title to the fats was brought up again. and
Messrs. Edmunds and Ransom in ex-
| planning the status OF the suits
to settle this question said that the govern
ment was taking no RISK IN making the inn
| provemenis. Mr.. Edmunds said that the
Judiciary committee after fully investigating
the matter were convinced that no claim 20 the
| flats could stand
Mr.. Ransom called attention 20 the fact that
the bill providing for the prompt settlement
| OF the case provided also that II the claims
were sustained the court should assess dam
ages. reckoning the value OF the land az the
time when taken by the government before
any improvements were made.
Mr. Reagan thought this would not hold in
the courts. II was a weli-recognized principle
that II a claim good for the land il was also
| good for the improvements
Mr.. Edmunds said that was true but in
this case the government had taken the
| land practically by condemnation and
that II there any valid private
claim to it the value OF that claim
was the value Of the property when taken
| Had the property been taken by the govern
inent and rendered valueless any valid claim
| against the government would be Tor the value
when taken. SO at would be il the government
increased the value of the property by improve
ments after taken.

THH lxPubLicAN sINAToRs FAIL TO AoREF-
TIE SPLIT ON TIE REACTIONS BrIL-rALk OF
An AonxxnrSr OF tn. OPPONENTS OF TIE
lilcrfoSs BILL w1rH THE DEMOCRATS.
Az Was expected, the discussion in the Sena-
torial csucu. last night was earnest, even ex-
cited on both sides.
The Senators who are convinced that nothing
can be done with the federal election bill dur
ing this session we're in the majority, but the
Quay resolution was not adopted There was
no direct test vote on the resolution itself.
The Hoar amendment to include the federal
election bill among those in Senator Quay s
resolution to be considered before adjournment
was offered in the caucus by Senator Spooner
and was voted on and was defeated by the fol-
loving vote:
Yeas-Allison. Blair. Casey. Dolph, Edmunds,
Evarts, Hawley, Higgins. Hoar, ingalls,. Man
derson, Moody, Platt, Sanders, Sherman,
Spooner. Wilson (Iowa)-17.
Nays-Aldrich, Allen. Cameron, Davis
Dixon, Hale, Hiscock, Jones (Nev.). Mcmillan,
Mitchell, Paddock. Pettigrew, Plumb. Power,
Quay, Stockbridge. Teller and Washburn--I6.
no ACTION ON THE QUAY RESOLUTION.
Then by general consent the Quay resolu-
ton was laid aside. This course was followed
on account Of the intense feeling on the part OF
those Senators who regard the federal election
billlas legislation most important at this session
and who charged that Mr.. Quay betrayed his
party when he offered his resolution. To have
adopted any resolution postponing action on
the election bill would have caused a split in
the caucus and so divided the party as to have
given them trouble for the rest Of the session,
putting an end to all discipline.
TALK OF AN AoREEMsNr WITH TUE DEMOCRATS.
The men in favor Of postponing the bill will
attempt to accomplish their purpose without
too seriously humiliating the leaders Of the
party. Having demonstrated in caucus
their power to carry out an agree
ment if made, they propose TO make a
proposition TO the Senators on the democratic
side for an agreement by which formal action
on "a resolution in the Senate may be avoided
in Difference to Mr.. Hoar and his followers
The proposition will be that the Democrats
permit the tariff bill to be disposed of as soon
as possible, and let the advocates OF the fed
eral election bill make three or four speeches
on it, the Republicans being pledged to then
postpone the further consideration Of the fed
eral election bill until next session.
The democrats are apt to be suspicious of
this proposition and the agreement may not
be reached, except by the formal adoption of a
resolution; but 1t is as certain as anything can
be which is not fully accomplished that the
election bill will not come up for final action at
this session.
TIE DEMOCRATS AND THE TARIFF BILL
There Is a growing feeling among the demo
cratic Senators that they ought not to sacrifice
the full discussion of the tariff in order to &C.
cure the defeat Of the election bill, but
that they should continue TO con-
slider the Mckinley bill carefully
this time. Some of them believe that they
might defeat the bill If they set about it with
that determination.
