An Interview with Or. Funk, Publisher
of the Voice.

NEW YORK, April 30.-In an interview on
the Supreme Courts decision in the Iowa
liquor case, published here today, DR.. Isaac
K. Funk, publisher Of the Prohibition organ,
the Voice, said: 81 am not very much sur
prised at the decision. l supposed when the
question came before the Supreme Court they
would decide this way. because, under the
interstate commerce.laws, it would really
seem illegal to prohibit the sale in one state
of what was regarded by the country as
legitimate article of commerce.
"The law, however, hits high license, In
fact, all license, just as hard as it does pro-
hibition, because il the manufacturer has the
right to sell his goods in unbroken packages
in the state to which he ships them, regard
less of the laws of that state, high-license
law will have to give way just as much as
the prohibitory law.
This will throw the whole question back
to Congress, which will have to decide what
shall be the limitations of interstate COM
merce, and that is really where the prohi-
bitionists of this country have desired the
question to be placed, We believe that there
will never be satisfactory prohibition in
America except by national prohibition.
Local option and state prohibition are neces-
sarilv imperfect.
"We desire the question to be settled ma
tionally. Hence we are not shedding any
tears over the decision Of the Supreme Court
The Republican party has been trying to
crystallize on high license and local option,
saying: Let us try this means first But
this decision shuts out both these factors
from the future determination of the sub
iect,"

Little Prospect of ToubIe But the
Troops Are In Readiness

tiSSPS %tC III hSduNiSoSs
CHICAGO, April 3O.-Committees of the
new bosses association and the striking car
penters met this morning to further consider
the terms of the proposed agreement for the
resumption of work. At the close of its ses-
sion President O'Connell, of the Carpenters
Council, said agreement was reached upon
all points of difference except two and it
was agreed to submit these to arbitration.
Each side will choose disinterested citizen
and they will choose third for this purpose:
President O'COnnell adds that work will
probably be resumed Monday.
The journal has made careful lnvesti-
cation into the situation among the en-
ployees of the great packing houses at the
stock yards aud finds that there are two
of their union and the other by George S.
Chilling. a well known labor leader. The
former fayors strike, and the latter OPP
poses it: The. result so far has been to put
off decided action in either direction. Care
full inquiry leads to the conclusion that at
the outside 1000 men may strike 1t is not
believed the number will exceed 800. From
1900 to $4,000 men are employed at the
stock yards. A few men here and there in
Morris 81 1Swift's housesl quit work this
morning but the desertions did not interiors
with the progress Of work. The Inter-
national Packing House shut down as pre-
cautiOnary measure.
Superintendent of Police Marsh says he
will keep the peace at the yards with the
regular police, aud will make 1t warm for
those who endeavor to raise row.
The report that the city troops had been
notified by the governor to be in readiness at
moments notice is not true, though the
commanding officers of the First and Second
regiments have been given to understand
that the services of their men may be need
ed.
In two hours the troops can be summoned
and ready for duty, even without previous
warning, so it Is not thought necessary to
| have the militiamen excited with warnings
that they may be called at any time. Be-
| sides the troops have seen stock yard duty,
and don't want it if they can get out of it.
| Something over 600 men can be at the yards
| within three hours should the workers there
| overpower the police. As for the latter a
| large force will be stationed there to-mor-
row, ready for any emergency that may
arise.
Some uneasiness is also fell regarding
| the situation along Blue Island avenue, or
| the ''Black road" as it is called, west of 22d
street. In this district is located the great
| Mccormick reaper works, the malleaple iron
| works and numerous lumber yards, and as
| the majority of the workmen are of foreign
| nativity they are easily excited and led into
| strike.

CARTRIDGES SERVED OUT.
Young Emperor william in the Role
OF Richard n.

BERN, April 9o.-As a precautionary
measure. in view Of the expected demonstra-
tion tomorrow, 100 rifle cartridges have been
served out to the gendarmes, while the po-
lice are being kept within stations and fed
there. The citizens now feel reasonably as
sured regarding the ability Of the authorities
to maintain order in the capital; but there
are grave fears regarding coming events in
Hamburg, Silesia, Westphalia and Saxony
At Potsdam the garrison has been ordered to
remain within the barracks. 1t is reported
that the Emperor said, laughingly, to Gen.
Caprivi: 'If the mob should prove menac-
ing, l shall play Richard III. to their Wat
Tyler" 1t is added that he would not be
displeased at the occurrence of riotous de-
monstrations, as 1t would give him an op-
portunity of assuming command of the
troops and showing the masses how readily
he can force them into submission. Railroad
trains are held in readiness to instantly con-
vey reinforcemehts of troops to any point
where disturbances break out. 1t is estima-
ted that there are $4,000 workmen on a
strike in Germany.

Revoiutionsis Reported Killed and
Wounded In Paraguay.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April 3O.-Among
the recent adyices from China was a teIe-
gram in the Courier d'Halphong, dated
Nam-Dinh, Tonkin, March 8, which gives an
account OF sanguinary conflict between
French troops and the rebels. The village
Of Gias Phung, where a redoubtable pirate
chief named Dovan, who had for a long
time terrorized the district. was supposed to
be, was surrounded by the military, and
siege was laid to the house where the rebel
band had taken up Its quarters.
Not sound betrayed the presence Of the
band In the house until all at once a lively
discharge of firearms killed or wounded three
Of the military.
A severe conflict, lasting three hours and a
half, then ensued.
At last the house was set on fire, but the
combat still continued, the rebels making a
stubborn defence, and trying to break
through the surrounding party.
When at last 1t was possible to enter the
house, the surviving pirates were killed, but
Doyan himself was found dead, his body ly
ing on the floor with the face burned. The
entire band, composed of about 30 indiyidu-
ais, was destroyed. OF the French force
three were killed and three wounded

not to receive any deputation while disorder
prevails In the streets. The mayor has
therefore closed the town hall.
III. Floquet, president of the Chamber of
Deputies, has instructed the questors of the
chamber to receive deputations of workmen
who come to present their grievances when
such deputatiOns are COMPOSED of not more
than five persons. No deputation from a
street assembly, however, will be received.
In addition to the regular Paris garrison,
which will be held in their barracks tomor-
row In readiness for service, eight cavalry
regiments have been placed at the disposal
OF the governor of the city. These troops
will be stationed at the palace of the Elysee,
President Carnot's residence, the legislative
chambers, and at other points where disorder
Is likely to occur. There will be no inter-
ruption by the authorities of street traffic.
Fourteen hundred hawkers were arrested
and will be kept imprisoned till Friday TO
prevent being employed to engage in riotous
demonstrations tomorrow. The police have
seized 1900 iron tipped cudgels at the Office
OF the Journal d. Assault, and stock of re-
yolvers and knives at the house of a Social
ist.
Louise Michel and three other Anarchists
were arrested this evening.

AJAX With Judge Dresser.

LEWISTON. Me, April 30.-Judge Richard
Dresser, Of the Auburn municipal court, who
has given much attention to the Maine pro-
hibitory law, tells Lewiston Journal re-
porter that the recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court by no means invali-
dates our law, as has Teen reported. Judge
Dresser says: "As represented In published
abstracts, the decision interferes with only
part of our prohibitory system. 1t operates
against the seizure Of liquors at railroad
stations, but does not prevent seizures after
liquors have been brought to the shops and
transferred to vessels. Indeed 1t does not
prevent seizures at all. 1t merely opens
way for the owners to recover liquors pro-
viding that they are in the original packages.
The burden of proof is on the rum dealers.
1t is not enough to show that the packages
bear certain marks. 1t must be proven con-
clusiyely that they are In the original pack
ages. Again, the decision as reported. does
not invalidate the single sale by the glass
and the nuisance clauses Of our prohibitory
law, which are Of far greater value to us,
and are much more disastrous to liquor SELL
ers than the seizure clauses"

Suspension Of the Bank of America
of Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, April 30.-The Bank of
America of this city was forced ito close its
doors this afternoon, and the officers posted
notice at the entrance in the hallway of
the building, at Fortieth and Chestnut
streets, which simply announced: "This
bank has temporarily suspended" The
news of the suspension quickly spread in
financial circles. 1t was announced officially
that the cause of the suspension
was run on the bank. which began Mon
day morning, and resulted in the Withdrawal
of 100000 in deposits. The failure will not
effect business men to any great extent. The
losses will fall mostly on small shopkeepers
and others who cannot we'll afford to lose the
money. Branches Of the bank located in
outlying sections of the city attracted this
class of customers. The total number of de-
positors is 1000, and the deposits in the bank

GENERAL poW's OPINION.
The United States Supreme Court
and the Liquor Traffic.

was greatly surprised by the character
and the conclusion of the late decision of the
United States Supreme Court in the Iowa
liquor case, because they were not in harmo-
ny with those Of other similar cases which
have been determined by that august tribu-
nal. This decision ignores entirely the &c
lice powers Of the States which have been
held to be supreme in all matters relating to
the health, lives and morals Of the people.
All former opinions Of the Supreme Court
that have seen are warm in sympathy with
the movement for the protection of the peo-
pie from the saloon, and were careful not to
obstruct it by any forced construction Of the
Constitution. But in this decision 1 see no
indication Of any such feeling by its author.
The Maine Law carefully avoided the small
est encroachment upon the power of COL
gress to regulate interstate commerce, and
confined itself to the prohibition of the
transportation for sale, of liquors within the
territory of the state; not believing, then or
now, that the general government provides a
market for liquors imported or home made,
as this decision seems to affirm.
The opinions of the justices Of the United
States Supreme Court in the famous Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire
cases seem to cover much Of the ground
trayersed by Mr.. Justice Fuller in the decis-
ion am considering. These are in Howard's S
Reports, pages 504-663.
