A PROHIBITION RULING,
Uncle Sam Does Not License Retail

Uncle Sam Does Not License Retail
Liquor Dealers.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-Acting Sec
retary Of the Treasury Nettleton has
issued the following circular ANNOUNCE
ing change in the form of the special
tax stamp for retail liquor dealers:
Letters are frequently received stat
ing that in many parts of the country
retail liquor dealers claim to hold per-
NIT or license from the United States
for carrying on their business; that in
many cases where the local law prohib-
its public drinking places the law is
openly violated by persons who claim to
do business under at least the moral
sanction of federal license, and this
fact greatly retards the enforcement Of
wholesome restrictive laws, and promotes
disorder. 1t should be unnecessary to
state that the United States government
does not issue license or permit to
any person in any state to carry on the
business of retail liquor dealer. Con-
gress having levied a revenue stamp tax
of $25 per annum on the business of
retail liquor dealers, the commissioner
Of internal revenue endeavors to col
lect this tax wherever and by whom
soever the business is carried on; but
no semblance of permission is given by
the United States to begin such bust.

THE NEW HAWAIIAN TREATY.
1t is Not Believed That the Islands
Will Ratify 1t.

viii Ratify 1t.
SAN Francisco, March 22.-The Ex-
aminer's special correspondence from
Honolulu, dated March 18th, says: The
new commercial treaty between the
United States and the Hawaiian islands
has been received from Washington, and
been submitted to secret conference
of the queen and her cabinet. The new
treaty calls for the cancellation
of the present existing treaty be-
tween the two governments, and
the substitution of new document
which permits of full and free inter-
change OF all products, both natural
and manufactured, of the two countries.
This treaty is said to be the same which
was submitted to King Kalakaua shortly
before his death in San Francisco. The
king objected to the treaty, because
Hawaiian sugar was not put on
equal terms with American sugar,
namely, to receive bounty. 1t is not
known what action on the treaty will be
taken by the Hawaiian government, but
it is stated that the influence of the
English friends of the Queen, as we'll al
he-inauence Of the resident British
diplomats will prevent her from accept
ing the new treaty in its pres
ent form. It is almost conceded
that her majesty will turn to Cam
ada and Australia for an arrangement
similar to the commercial treaty hereto
fore existing between Hawaii and the
United States.
Owing to the appointment of Charles
B. Wilson as marshal of the kingdom,
two members of the cabinet will resign.
Wilson is said to be an illiterate work.
