A DRY SUNDAY.
Drinkers Refused Potations at Bar
Rooms and Drug Stores.

Engineer Commissioner Robert by his active
campaign against violators of the law pre-
vented the sale of considerable liquor in this
city yesterday. The policemen on duty say
that there was less liquor sold than on any
Sunday for many years. The usual private"
or Sunday entrances to many saloons we're as
securely fastened as were the main doors or
weekday entrances, and many STEADY"
drinker did without his usual nip" The
police were more vigilant lest Col. Robert
should appear and note the persons going In
and out of the side doors and order an inyesti-
CATION.
The drug stores were also careful not to yio-
late the law. The dry" people tried all sorts
of devices to obtain hquor and some of them,
1t Is said, even went SO far as TO get phvsi-
clans prescription and have it filed bv their
druggist, SO that there were apparently more
sick people i'll the city yesterday than at the
time the grip was here. Many, children
called at drug stores, and the same Old story
was repeated over and over, Mister MANN a
says send her 10 cents worth of whisky, she )
sick"
We are just out" the druggist would DO
htely reply, and III that way many customers
were induced to believe that the proprietor
had really sold all his liquor The fact was
that the druggists knew of Col Roberts action
III calling the matter to the attention of the
other Commissioners and they were cautious
While most of the dealers adhered to the dry
rule the police do not claim that all the LIQUOR
dealers refrained from doing business yester-
day.

PAYMASTER GENERAL LOCKER.
His Retirement as Head of the Pay
Corps Probable.

Paymaster General Thomas II. LOCKER of the
navy has been confined'to his home in George
town for some time past and it is thought that
the state of his health will soon cause mis- re-
tirement from the position he now holds at the
head of the naval pay corps. He has not. how
ever, handed in his resignation nor is his mind
in the least affected, as has been reported His
doctor has advised that he retire from active
work and a medical survey or as it would be
called i'll civil life, consultation, has been or
dered, the result of which will probably be his
retirement as chief of the bureau of provisions
and clothing. He has occupied his present POI
sition but short time and he was chosen for
it because of the fact that he is the senior off
Ger of the corps. Should the position become
vacant there will be lively scramble for i,

CAN WAIT FOR PHOTOGRAPHS.
Secretary Noble Makes Short Work of a
Delegation of Ponca Indians.

A small delegation of Ponca Indians of the
Indian territory had an interview with Secre-
tary Noble today. They came to the city Of
their own accord and their object was to in
duce the President through the Secretary. to
reconsider the recent order directing the re-
moval of all cattle other than those owned by the
Indians from the territory on or before the LIST
of October next. The Indians told the Secre-
tary that the revenue derived from leases was
the main source of their support and that they
could put their great stretches of pasture land
to no other use. The Secretary's reply was
brief but pointed. He informed
the Indians that their leases
with cattlemen had no authority in law; that
their lands were intended solely for the occupa-
ton of the members of the tribes; that the
use by white men of land in the Indian terri
tory gave them an unjust advantage over cat
tlemen in the states, the latter
paid taxes on their lands and their
cattle, which were not required III
the Indian territory; and that the effort to
retain these leases was mainly in the interests
of a few middlemen who received the principal
benefits. The secretary. in conclusion, told
the Indians that they had better leave for
their homes on the first train this evening
The Indians. however, asked the Secretary
to relax the rigor of the last suggestion some
what, as they had a photograph taken which
they wished to take home with them, and the
photograph would not be ready until tomor-
row. The Secretary then said that
they might stay until tomorrow
evening. Senator Dawes accompanied the
Indians and after the conference he told the
Secretary that his propositions could not be
disputed. This is probably the last effort that
will be made by the cattlemen to retain
their hold in the Indian territory.
Secretary Noble has been much annoyed
by the hostile attitude of the lease holders of
grazing lands in the Indian territory toward
the efforts made by the government to secure
cession of the lands from the Indians. 1t is
believed that they have influenced the Indians
to resist all negotiations in this direction and
the ejectment of the lease holders from the ter
rltory after October / is one of the results of
the hostile policy they have adopted against
the government.

TIME FOR STREET SPRINKLING.
New Regulation Will Give Every
body a Chauce.

The records Of the Commissioners Office
show many complaints of injustice worked by
regulations governing the use Of Potomac
water for street sprinkiing. The regulations
permitted street or lawn sprinkling only be-
tween the hours Of and.s pm. and and 8
am. Capt Lusk today in q letter to the Com
missioners recommended that the regulations
be changed SO that it shall be lawful to
use Potomac water between the hours OF 4:3O
pm. and $50 am. This, he says, will obviate
water their streets and altogether do much
good. This would have been done sooner, he
says, had the supply of water been equal to it,
The Commissioners lost no time in approving
his recommendation and the new order will be
issued tomorrow.

way eX-Speaker Carlisle seem to be more popu-
lar than any of the other aspirants. News

democrats will do little else besides waiting for
