LATE TELEGRAPH NEWS.
SMUGGLING OPIUM.
ASSISTANT SECRETARY TREASURER
HAMLIN REPORTS.
That the Largest Proportion of This
Drug Has Been Struggled.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. H.
Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury, Hamlin, who is on his way
back from tour of inspection of
the Seal islands and Pacific coast
ports, is concluding his work by
making a personal inspection Of
the principal ports along the north
ern boundary of the country, with
a special view to learning all that
he can about the smuggling Of
opium and Chinese over that bor-
der. He was in st. Paul yesterday
and is in Duluth today. Wednes-
day he Will be in Saulte ste Marie,
and Friday he will reach Montreal,
where he will begin his examina-
ton into the working of the regula-
lions in regard to the reentry to
the United States of Chinese mer-
chants who have gone out of the
country and returned.
1t has been pointed out that par
ticularly large numbers of these
Cinnamon come in through the
Burlington customs collection dis
trict and Mr.. Hamlin will look in
to the whole matter very closely.
Montreal is the Canadian point of
departure for these Cinnamon for
the United States and they are
temporarily detained there while
papers are sent to the customs Off
GERS in Burlington for examina-
ton. After completing his exam
ination in Montreal, Assistant Sec
rotary Hamlin will make thor
ough examination of the Burling-
ton collection district. He will be
assisted by the chief of the special
agents of the treasury who have
left Washington for the purpose of
joining Mr.. Hamlin in Burlington.
Upon Mr.. Hamlin's report on
the seal fisheries will probably
depend very largely the course
pursued by the government in the
future in the way Of limiting the
humble of seals to be killed an
nually on the islands. Some i'm
portant recommendations will pro-
badly be made on the Chinese and
opium questions. The department
is anxious to show the new tariff
law workings in regard to opium.
Under the Mckinley law with the
duty at $l2 per pound practically
all the drug brought into the
United States was struggled and
now that the duty has been de-
creased to Sc per pound the treas
ury officials are anxious to see
whether there will be any decrease
in the smuggling.

MEN AND WOMEN FIGHT
AT BAYVIEW OVER THE NAMING
OF A STREET.
The Women Won the First Battle
and Waved Their Aprons in
Defiance.

New YORK, Sept. ll.-Setaucket,
the pretty little village Of Long Is
land, was the scene OF lively fight
between a number of prominent
men and women of that place. The
women were armed with shovels
and won temporary victory and
the highway commissioners will
be on hand to settle the difficulty.
The trouble arose over the naming
Of Bayview or Hand avenue,a short
street running from the main
street to the bay. n. II. Hand, a
wealthy ship builder, wants the
street to bear his name. His neigh
bors are in favor of having the
street named Bayview. On several
occasions Mr.. Hand erected signs
with the name "Hand Avenue" on
the street. No sooner were they
put up than they were taken away
by the indignant residents. A
short time ago an iron post having
Hands name cut on it was sawed
off and carried away. Several
weeks later Mr.. Hand had iron
signs cast with "Hand Avenue" in
big letters on the cross place. The
signs arrived yesterday and Mr.,
Hands workmen began to put
them up. Each one weighs half a
ton and requires half a dozen men
to handle it. A gang of laborers
had dug the holes and were ready
to set the posts in position when a
band of women with sleeves rolled
up and spades in hand approached.
They spread themselves over the
avenue and prepared to begin fill
ing up the holes dug to place the
poles in, Dirt and stones flew in
every direction. No sooner would
one woman be driven from her
work than she was reinforced by
three or four of her companions
until the hole was filed up. The
women persisted In the fight for
about an hour. Finally their ad-
versaries threw down their spades
and left them in charge Of the
field. After all the holes had been
filled up the women waved their
aprons in defiance and dared
Hand to put up the signs. Mr.
Hand says the signs will go up
cost what it may. The fight is
likely to be renewed today.

Her Will in Court.

POUGHKEEPSIE n. Y, Sept. H.
The will of Mrs. Jane NJ. Aspin-
wall, wife of the late John l.. As
pinwall, of New York, was admit
ted to probate yesterday. The
value of the estate is estimated at
100000. Except for few lega-
cies it is bequeathed to Mrs. As
pinwall's surviving children, John
Aspinwall and Helen L. Shober,
and the latter's children. Mrs.
Aspinwall's daughter, Mrs. Shober,
was the wife of the Rev. Francis
f. Shober, former pastor of ST..
Johns church at Barrytown, who
was deposed by Bishop Potter two
years ago. Mrs. Shober afterwards
got an absolute divorce. In her
will Mrs. Aspinwall says: ain no
event shall Francis f. Shober have
control Of the person or the state
Of the property herein bequeathed
unto the children of my daughter
Helen l.. ShOber."

ALCOHOL IN EVERYTHING.
If Admitted Free it will be General
ly Used as a Solvent.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE
great pressure continues upon
the treasury department for de-
cision whether any regulations
will be made for the enforcement
of the clause of the new tariff bill
providing for free alcohol for use
in arts and in medicinal prepare
tions, and it is claimed also in
yarnishes and other substances re-
quiring alcohol as a solvent; be-
sides distillery wood, alcohol and
whisky, all of which, at least, have
vital interest in the final de-
cision.
From the standpoint Of the treas
ury millionsof revenue are involved
and the general impression at the
treasury department is that Car
Isle will be unable to overcome
the difficulty in his path until a
means is provided by Congress.

THEIR LAST PARADE.
Veteran Grand Army Republic SOL
diers in Line.

diers in Line.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Sept. ll.-Forty
thousand men who fought to save
the union, marched through the
cities Of PIttsburg and Allegheny
today. The old familiar war tunes
filled the air and the music made
hearts beat as thirty years ago.
But while stepping bravely, they
could not straighten their bent
forms, nor conceal their gray hair
| and furrowed cheeks. They car
ried no heavy rifle with glittering
bayonet, but aided their aged.
limbs with walking canes, with
here and there a crutch. They
marched no more beneath
the yawning muzzle of cannon,
but passed battery after battery of
bright eyes. Every vacant lot,
window, fire escape and roof top
were crowded, while the sidewalk
was packed solidly from the build
ing line to the curb.
At 1890 the parade started from
the historic Monongahela House.
First came Company A, Second
Battalion Naval reserves, N. NJ. =.
Guard of Honor to Commander-in-
Chief Adams; then followed the
departments Of the Grand Army
led by Illinois and closed by Penn
| sylvania. The decorations of the
two cities were most lavish, hardly
building but had flag and bunt-
| ing, while business houses made
gorgeous showing. This probably
is the last time the veterans will
turn out in such force as it is con-.
templated by the Grand Army
officials, in view of the advancing
age and intirmities OF the mem bers,
to abandon this feature of the ma
tional encampment. Gov. Patter-
son, Of Pennsylvania, with his.
staff and a number of able men
and women from all parts of the
country, occupied the reviewing
stand in Allegheny Park and sa-
luted each division. Arrangements
| for the comfort of the marchers
were excellent. At short distances
apart were stationed emergency
hospitals, while all along the route
were men with cool water and
| lemonade.
A rough estimate is that 500,-
600 people saw the parade. The
weather is perfect, and it was an
ideal day for a parade, both for
the men in line and for the specta-
| tors

Less " ork.

BUREAU, ILL.,, Sept. 1.-THE con-
tractors for the eastern terminus
of the Hennipin canal had their
first strike six days after the first
sod was turned. The head mule
boss and twenty stable men and
teamsters struck and drew their
pay. They claimed that the hours
were too long, that the board was
not worth 81 per week as it con-
sisted of only biscuits, bacon and
soup meats; that the beds were no
more than blankets and that the
late rains came through the roof,
soaking the ground on which they
laid. Many went to the railroad
and slept in empty box cars. A
reporter visited the camp supper
and found Contractor Callahan
eating at the same table with his
men. The food was good and well
cooked. The real cause of the
strike he said was the discharge Of
the mule boss for refusing to obey
orders. The places of the strikers
were Immediately filled.

siderable damage by the strange
fatality. DIR. Cook and seventeen
members Of his ill-starred arctic

Lansing said ave need a revival

law, rather than of sentiment and
doctrine. There is a deluge of i'm.

try. 1t is largely due to the great
foreign immigration. Our new ar
rivals are threatening all our in

al property has been largely in
creased. | am inclined to be.

cay of truthfulness. Men in
courts will tell what they please
and no more. When it comes to
the social evil no one dares to look
at the state of affairs. / have not
asked the ministers what they
think of the social conditions, but
l have asked the travelling men
who know all the large amount OF
crime in the land, and from every
one Of them | have received the
same answer, that in no city in
this country is vice so open as in
Boston. Not only are the horrible
establishments advertised in the
press but they are marked by signs

"manicures" the women carry on
their fearful work. You could see
it openly on the streets last night !;
you can see it almost anywhere. |

New York Populists Meet.

SARATOGA, Sept. 1l.-Over three
hundred delegates have been
chosen to attend the State POpulist
convention here today. Alden
Spencer, of the Peoples party, says
that the executive committee of
the New York organization has
prepared the following plank,
which is New York's contribution
to the platform which will be
adopted by the convention:
eve believe in absolute demo-
cracy, which, under the initiative
and referendum, well place the law
making power in the hands Of the
people, and thereby bring to their
vote every needed right and reform
respecting the Industries, circula-
ting medium, taxation woman
hood suffrage, proportional repre-
sentation, blanket ballot, excise
laws and other measures.
"The real ownership of land is
now, sa it ever has been, in reality
vested in the State and indirectly
in the counties and municipalities.
If any man doubts this PROPOSE
ton a refusal to pay his rental
taxes will convince him of its
truth. The governing powers
should, in equity, levy upon all
lands held away from the hand of
labor for speculative increment,
and irrespective of improvement
on land, tax it into use."
