Queston determined in White agt. CotZ-
hansen considered decided or even limited
at. The question determined in the last
mentioned case was whether the court
may treat as an assignment a conveyance
or transfer, or a series of them, or con-
fessed judgments. which are not in form
an assignment. but are In substance and
have that effect The reasons assigned by
Mr.. Justice Harlan that this may and
should be done in a proper case are not
taken from any decision Of the supreme
court of Illinois. with the single exception
that he says: We agreed with the supreme
court of Illinois that this statute. being re-
medal in its character, must be literally
benefcially. so as to SUI PRESS the mischief
and advance the remedy" And his quo
tation in that instance is not from a case in
which this statute was construed; IT Is
true that the opinion states that the SUI
preme court thinks its conclusion Is the
necessary result OF the decisions of the
Illinois court, but that is its Interpretation
Of the statute in the argunentative light of
the Illinois decisions, and not a following
of such decisions. The Supreme Court of
the United States went beyond and In ad-
within the light and reason of them as the
Supreme Court thought. The reasoning

Mr.. s. T. Thomas. attorney for the Dis
trict, today rendered to the Commissioners
an opinion to the duties of the clerk
of the excise board in making an inspection
Of liquor licenses. The decision was in an
swer to a question asked by the chairman
Of the committee of legislation of the
Grand Lodge, d. c., l. o. G. T., as to the
Interpretation of the clause in the new Ii
quor law providing for such an inspection.
In his decision Mr. Thomas says that the
duty of the CLERK of the excise board would
seem to be, according to the several sec
tons of the law, to make. under orders
from the excise board, an official view or

The Bathing Beach Report.

Superintendent w. X. Stevens of the free
bathing beach today made his report for
the month OF July. The report is as fol-
lows:
The number of bathers registered in July
was 1888 The percentage of colored
bathers was very small and Is on the de-
crease. while that of the lady bathers is
on the increase 1t will be seen that the
daily average is 353 and of this number
over three-quarters have to be registered
and assigned to rooms within the hour fol-
lowing. Sis pm. This strains the facilities
Of the beach to the utmost Valuables,
consisting of lose money. wallets. watches.
rings. &c. are received. placed in en-
velopes and checks given.
Sometimes two dozen envelopes are on
hand at once. There has never been a
complaint in this respect against the keep
ers. while frequently money, and other val
uables are forgotten and not called for I'M
~ the next day, one instance was pub
about s. from his clothes in his dressing
room at the beach. That was untrue. The
man left his valuabes all at the office and
received them when he came out Some
hours later he called and reported his loss
after he had visited the White House: but
the White House and the bathing beach are
equally innocent for the man was not in a
condition to know when, where or how he
lost the money. This class causes much
annoyance.
Not an hour of the day passes but that
the ifeboat man has to warn bathers
against dangerous practices. Assistance
has been rendered in many cases. with
some narrow escapes, but I'm glad 20 re-
port that no life has been lost ut the beach
this year.
The receipts for the donation fund were

were: For printing rules. $3.50: lumber and

who hire suits is daily decreasing. The
average attendance Is about forty, on free
days 400. Nearly 200 went in one Jay before
any money was received.
The crowds of spectators who continue to
visit the beach attest to the interest felt
in It, and the numbers who come i'm car
riages are such that all late corners must
alight and work their way through the
crowd on foot to obtain a view of the bath
ers and the surrounding waterscape. This
enpha sizes the great service which the

THE CABLE CUT.
Dire Possibilities That Might Happen
on This Account.

Dire rossi"iiiues fhat Might Happen
on This Account.
The startling news reached the Com
missioners this morning that all telegraph
ic and telephone communication with Ana
costa had been cut of by the destruction
Of the submarine cable that spans the
draw in the bridge.
Washington stands defenseless An arm
ed band of tramps might gather in Ana
costa to rush upon the city and cause a
further stringency in the money market.
The police in Anacostia would have no
means of communicating the direful news
to the local guardians of the peace except
by means Of the Washington and Ana
costa street cars. This would be slow
and only reasonably sure. Matters are
made more serious by the fact that a large
portion of the District National Guard is
OF at camp and more are making prepa-
rations to leave the city.
Fortunately, however. at last reports there
was no sign of trouble. Commissioner
Parker bore up bravely under the alarming

Censorship Established Over the
Midway. Plaisance Dances.
SEVERAL THEkTERS TO Be CLOSED.
Director General Davis Conducting
an Investigation.
OTHER WORLDS FAIR TOPICS.

CHICAGO. Aug. 5.-Just now the Midway
Plaisance is passing through a sea of trou-
BILE, which has already engulfed some of
the concessions and threatens to put others
In the hands Of the sheriff or receivers.
The famous street Of the world as a whole
cannot complain of lack of patronage.
because hundreds Of visitors to the fair
spend the whole day in the streets and viii
lagos of Midway without entering the more
aesthetic, but to them less attractive, part
Of the exposition.
certain concessionaries are finding out
TO their financial sorrow that the public is
whimsical and discriminating and also a
fair judge of what is worth paying to see.
Dissensions among the stockholders in the
concessions and consequent litigation have
original Vienna Bakery Cafe and Nata-
tor1um Company and the Algerian Theater.
The Persian theater has fallen within the
drag net put out by Director General Davis,
VINO has been appointed Informally censor
OF the oriental dances on the Midway for
Director of Works Burnham reported that
the Persian idea of terpsichorean art was
not IN harmony with the tone Of the expo
today, by an order of the chief executive
officer. the Persian theater is closed TO the
public until such time as the dancing part
of the program can be revised and approved
by the censor.
The Algerian theater. the dance in the
street in Cairo and the Cafe Chatant of the
Turkish village are also on the suspect list.
They are being closely inspected by Mr..
Burnham. and orders to close will no doubt
follow in those cases unless the offensive
features Of the dance are eliminated perma-
nently.
Mrs. Palmer and a delegation of lady
managers made formal protest to Director
General Davis yesterday against the ORR
entail dances at the theaters of the midway
plaisance. Several of the managers had
visited the places and found that the de-
scription of the scenes there had not been
exaggerated. Mrs. Barker who reported
for the others. said that she would sooner
lay Ter two boys In their graves than that
they should look upon the sights she saw.
She said:
'"fhey were filled with the vilest of wo-
men, the equal of those to be found in the
lowest parts Of Chicago. whose only mission
Is to degrade and debauch. We are urging
grand and beautiful exhibition at the risk
of communicating their souls"
The following order was issued by the
council of administration:
Ordered. That the director general be,
and he Is hereby directed and authorized to
cause the matter to be Immediately inves-
tfgated. and II upon such investigation these
reports shall prove well founded he is
further authorized and empowered at his
discretion to provide for the immediate ter
mination of any such exhibition as shall be
found to be against decency and good
morals"
Anthony Comstock of New York declares
that the dances were such that the very
lowest places of public amusement in New
York would not tolerate them.
