YEAR OF HIGH LICENSE IN BALTIMORE.

Baltimore, April IL (special first year of high
license in Baltimore Is drawing TO close, and tho
Commissioners are preparing the new list. The law
has worked well and has been efectual in breaking
up nearly all the "dives" and lower grade OF gin
mills. The regulations compelling Sunday closing ana
prohibiting the sale of liquor between the hours OF
midnight and a. m. have been strictly enforced, and
only three saloon keepers have dared to violate
the law. The gross revenue from liquor licenses
during the year $395,041, and the expenses
amounted to S9,00S %, leaving net revenue OF
S385,o42 70. During the twelve months OF 1890 tho
number of applicants for licenses was 2,415, and the
number in force at the end Of the year was 2os4.
About 1000 applications have been received for reI
newals Hotel keepers who run bar-rooms in con!
necton with their establishments will be required this
year TO take out hotel license in addition to tho
license for the sale OF liquor. Last year they were
only required to take out the liquor license but THIS
action 1t Is said was done under mlsconcepuon.
Previous to the passage of the High License law, the
charge for hotel license which permitted the sale OF
liouor was regulated by the rant OF the hotel Inc

not permit Of any misunderstanding, c. A. Spreckes
Of the big sugar refinery, last night denied the latest
story relative to restriction Of the output OF sugar
from the local establishment The report had its In
ception In dispatch from Boston to the effect that the
Philadelphia sugar king had entered into agreement
with the American Sugar Refining Company whereby
the home production to be limited 10 1900 barrels
day, in return for which concession the Havemeyer
& Elder combination, in San Francisco. was TO be
closed thereby leaving the Messrs spreckes IN unds-
puted possession OF the Pacific Coast market.
You may say,' Mr.. Spreckels remarked with calm
deberaton and declsiveness that the report Is abso
lutely without foundation do not know why II Is
so frequently revived. In the face Of all we can say
the newspapers keep bringing 1t up again and again.
The spreckes refinery Will continue to be operated at
its fullest capacity, some 1000 barrels OF sugar per
day. No proposition has come 10 us, either directly
indirectly, looking to the restriction OF output NO
such proposition has been considered by us, ana l
would like you to say unreservedy that no such project
would receive the slightest attention from u.s. There
Is positively for circulating such reports and
do wish you would deny them broadly and explicitly.
