WICHITA WHISKY WAR.

1t Breaks Out Afresh in That City and
Three Jointists Are Arrested.
WICHITA, Feb. 22-The war on the
saloons broke out in a new place last
evening, when Under Sheriff Simmons
and Deputies johnson, Burrows and Sam
Williams raided Billy Aliens place on
North Main street, and took charge.
About 6 o'clock the place was taken
charge of by the sheriffs q search
and seizure warrant sworn out in
Justice Keenan's court and charging 10
counts against Will Allen, Fred Wolf
and John Doe (Kelleber.) Wolf and
kelebber were found at the place and
put under arrest NJ. L. Carver, mana
ger of loan and investment company,
and a prohibitionist. belonging to the
Presbyterian church, was the COM
plainant.
Wolf and Kelleber finally gave bond
and were released. Allen was not found
until this morning, when he gave him
self up. Some of the deputies were for
tearing the fixtures out at once, but I'm
der Sheriff Simmons, who was in charge,
very wisely would not allow of it
The place was locked up until today
and the hearing has not yet been had.
Many of the saloons had reopened, and
even after the raid it was reported that
Royse had agreed to stop proceedings so
far as he was concerned. If warrants
were placed in his hands he would of
course see that they were served ac-
cording to law. After Ben had delivered
his speech he took the Rock Island out
of town and no one processes to know
where he has gone to.
The saloons had many of them been
notified to pay a city fine, but this arrest
will probably stop that, and there is
more suppressed excitement in the city
over this last raid than at any time since
the fight commenced.

SILVER WENT DOWN.
When the Senate Abandoned it the Price
Declined.

LONDON, Feb. 22.-The Standard in its
financial article this morning, says: That
the quotation of the new American bonds
looks high for security of SO uncertain
a future, but the buying is said to be on
American account, which is the best
thing that could happen. If, however,
the loan is bought up by American in
vestorS at a premium SO much above that
at which it was sold, what influence can
it have in checking the export of gold
from New York?
The Daily News says it understands
that all the gold which left the bank of
England yesterday, including 10000
pounds for destination not officially an
nounced was really for America. Bar
gold, it adds, remains firm. 1t is esti-
mated that large amount, in addition
to the e1,OOO,OOO dispatched last week,
has been purchased by the Rothschilds-
Morgan syndicate in the open market
Silver was depressed on the abandon
ment by the American senate of the free

RESPECTABLE AND HONEST
Is What August Belmont Says of Racing
by the Jockey Club.

by the Jockey Club.
ALBANY, n. Y, Feb 22.-At the hear
ing on the racing bill Anthony Comstock
opposed the measure. He said the bill
was not in the line of respectable legis-
lation and its one idea was to evade the
constitution and allow the boss gamble
to still fleece the public. Shaking his
fist at the gathering of racing men, Mr..
Comstock said: ''Shame on these racing
men, who for the sake of little money
will wreck homes and sacrifice widows
and children"
August Belmont said it was unneces-
sary for him to say that if the bill per-
mitted anything like the abuses related
by Mr.. Comstock, he would not come
forward to speak in favor of it. He be-
lieved it would be unconstitutional to by
statute make gambling possible, and that
answered all of Mr. Comstock's argu-
ment The Jockey club he represented
had made racing respectable and honest.
The hearing was adjourned for two
weeks
