According to this analysis, we beg TO
state that in our opinion, the Beer has
been well brewed, well fermented and
we'll stored. 1t has a good life and shows
good keeping qualities. The Beer has a
good and nice round taste, and we can
safely recommend it as wholesome be-
verage. Yours respectfully,
UNITED STATES Brewers ACADEMY,
per NJ Schwarz.
In addition to the fact that this
Beer contains remarkably little
alcohol, we beg to say that it is
brewed of genuine hops and the
very best Wisconsin barley, known
as Scotch Fife," and the water is
taken from the celebrated Wawa-
tosa mineral springs we'll known
throughout the Northwest in fact
it is the only Milwaukee Beer
brewed with mineral spring water.

Extensive Opium Smuggling.

The trial of William Dunbar on a charge
OF smuggling 300 pounds OF opium began IN
the United States District court on the 2Sth
at Portland.
The principal witness called by the govern
ment was Nathan Blum, also stockholder in
the Merchants' Steamship Company. Blum
pleaded guilty to smuggling opium, and 1t is
understood that the prosecution is relying on
his testimony principally 10 secure the con-
viction of the Others.
Blum testified that from March, 1892, to
March, 1858, his company smugglcd In to this
port from seven to ten tons Of opium, valued
at about t20O,00O. He went on to show that
while his company wns ostensibly doing a
wholesale grocery and shipping business, their
main source of revenue was from smuggling
opium, which was disposed Of In Portland
and San Francisco.
William B. Jackling and Mayor John Will
son, Of Victoria, British Columbia. II appears.
bought the opium in Victoria and Vancouver,
and there put 1t aboard steamers for Port

Mr.. PowDeRLY RESIGNS.

Of HA OpRensats.

Olives Way Before the streag Oppositioa
OF tass Oppeoeats.
T.v. Powderly resigned his position Of
general master workman OF the knights Of
Labor Saturday afternoon. He was unable
to keep tho delegates in tho line he had
marked out for them, and this docisivc move
seemed the only thing left for him.
RThe causes which led up to tho resignation
arc as follows:
After Mr.. Powderly had been repeatedly
urged by the assembly to substitute new list
of names for members OF the executive COM
mittee, he Aequiesccd in these demands. The
second list was not much more favorably re-
oeived than the first one, but he was most per-
sistcnt in his efforts to have 1t accepted.
Every point raised by the master workman
was stuboornly Tough, by his opponents
Still NO result In the afternoon the nnti-
Powderly faction began TO elect a board that
would suit them. The first man chosen In
this way was II. B. Martin OF District Assem-
bly, 79l, who got vote OF "a; James NJ.
Kenny OF District Assembly 2s got vote OF
23, and ]. A. McGuirk of Washington polled
% votes, a bare majority.
Mr.. Powderlys efforts to have his slate con-
sdercd were all In vain He would not nc-
ccpt tue uclckutcs hhu
elected. lie declared their elections illegal.
Then the climax came. The defeated leader
spoke with remarkable clearness as he said;
"Gcntlcmen, you must either obey the
spirit of the constitution or declare the office
Of general master workman vacant. now
tender you my resignation" With that he
left the hall
In an interview Mr. Powderly said. "In n
day or two Will make a statement, but at
present do not feel that should do So"
Nearly all the delegates are suffering from
severe attacks Of cold, and Secretary-Trcas-
urer Hayes was considered extremely i'll to-
night. The heads of both factions are, there
fore, practically out of the way for the time
being
Mr. Sovereign of Iowa md Mcclure of New
York are those most prominently mentioned
as Mr.. Powdcrly's succc cssor. The former is
somewhat In the lead.

To the November number of the Re.
rie,o Of Rcrietes, President T. Benja.
min Andrews, of Brown University,
contributes an article on the Future
of Silver production. President An
drews traces the present abundance of
silver largely to the rapid extension OF
railways within the last few years, and
believes that, in the future, lack Of
new transportation facilities, scarcity
of necessary lumber in the vicinity Of
the mines, the improbability of new
silver bearing regions being discovered,
the increased cost of smelling and
other causes, will check very materially
the production of the white metal, II
not only in the United States, but also
in Mexico and South America, He
concludes, therefore, with the opinion
that policy of free coinage at ratio
Of 1871 or 20:1, whether on the whole
wise or not, would not result in the
expulsion of our gold.

Asked to Fay UP.

Some time ago the treasury department
made y demand upon the North American
Commercial Company for $3.50, coo, being the
abatement Of taxes, etc, authorized by Sec
retary Foster because the company was not
allowed, owing to the operation oi the modus
vivendi, TO take its stipulated proportion Of
seals on the Islands during tho years ls9J,
1891 and 1899.
This demand took tho company somewhat
by surprise, as It did not expect the arrange
ment made by Secretary Foster would be
changed by the present administration. A
reply has been made in the form of long
brief protesting against being compelled TO
pay the money demanded. The Treasury de-
partment has referred the brief to the nttor-
ney-gencral, who now has the matter under
consideration.
