PROHIBITION LEAGUE.
1t Protests Against the Raines Law
in New York.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-The BROOKLYN
Prohibition League held a campaign
meeting this afternoon to protest
against the Raines law, which that
party claims is defeating the radical
object of the Prohibition party in the
metropolis. William A. Smith of Pough-
keepsie, the Prohibition candidate for
Governor, in a short address urged all
Prohibitionists to stand by their party's
principles and vote the ticket. He said
in part:
After the financial issues are set
tied by either of the parties the saloon
question will still remain unsettled The
Republican and Democratic parties do
ont propose to settle it. Remember that
every year these saloons are licensed bv
your votes if cast for any party but the
Prohibition, and that such votes adj
vance the cause of liquor sellers. The
Prohibitionist, however, is the voter
who does all in his power to put a sion

SHOULD NOT VOTE.
A Minister Who Declares Christians
are Debarred From Voting.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-In his sermon
to-day Rev. +. NJ. Foster of the Third
Reformed Presbyterian Church in West
Twenty third street said that as the
Constitution of the United States did
not recognize God in it, all citizens who
were Christians were debarred from
voting. TT is the duty of the Chris
tan not to swear allegiance to a gov
ernment which does not recognize the
authority of Almighty God" said he.
AIr. Foster said that the laws Of God
are broken every Sunday by the Gov
ernment, and as an example he cited
that 1.-The Government will admit into
the service of the Postoffice Department
only those who will swear that they will
violate the fourth commandment and
keep the Office open on the holy day.
THE candidatef for office must, accord
ing to the Constitution, uphold the laws
which contradict the laws of God. The

Mr.. Reed was asked if he thought the
letter of Watson very virulent.

with a smile
Since the withdrawal of the electors

Mr.. Watson is not in good health. and

WEST POINT ACADEMY.
THE SUPERINTENDENT REPORT
TO THE WAR DEPARTMENT.
Its Condition is FlOurishing and the
Number of Cadets Larger
Than Ever Before.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The Mill
tary Academy at West Point is in a
flourishing condition according to the
annual report to the War Department
of Colonel Ernest, Superintendent, who
says it is passing through an era of
Improvement, so far as it's equipment
and outward physical condition are
concerned due to the greater liberality
OF Congress in recent years. The cur
riculum, both theoretical and practical
is the result of many years experience
and has proved itself we'll adapted to
the objects of the institution. Improve
nentS in that direction are less rapid
and less radical than in the others,
but there also the academy is advanc-
ing, as will appear from a perusal of
the appendices already referred to as
attached to this report. The professors
and officers are accomplished, each in
his sphere, and devoted to their work.
and deserve well of the Government.
The number of cadets this year, 49,
including one foreigner receiving in
struction by special authority of Con-
gress, is the largest ever belonging to
the academy at one time. The recon-
mendation is renewed that Senators be
allowed to appoint two cadets at large
from each State, thereby increasing the
number of cadets. The health of the
command during the year was far from
satisfactory. There were epidemics of
Influenza malarial fevers, measles and
whooping cough. There were several
cases of appendicitis and other desper-
ate diseases. Only one cadet died.
An abundance of good. healthy food
in sufficient variety was furnished at
an average cost of fifty three cents per
man per day. Clothing, books and
other articles secured at low rates, eX-
cept the case of drawing instruments,
each cadet had to purchase. These cost
$23 05& or more than half months
pay.
Colonel Ernest says: "The inStru-
ments are imported, none of suitable
quality being made in this country. The
duty upon them is 80 per cent. Neither
the quantity nor quality should be re-
duced and the price is as low as it can
be made if the Custom house duties are
paid. Legislative action is recon-
mended relinquishing these dues"

BRYAN AN ANARCHIST.
That is What General Lew Wallace
Declares.

LAFAYETTE Qnd.), Oct. 25.-The
travelling Mems Republican demon
stration last night was an immense
affair. After the parade the opera house
was crowded. General Lew Wallace
paid his respects to Bryan. He referred
to Bryan's assertions that he was not an
anarchist, and said he believed he could
prove that he was. Wallace then quoted
portion of Altgeld's speech denounc-
ing government by injunction, wherein
Altgeld declared that ''f Mckinley was
elected he would send troops at Herr
Mosts request to every village to op-
press the poor"
This language the General declared
was that OF an anarchist. He then
quoted from Bryan's speech wherein he
championed Altgeld as "the able de-
fender Of the principles of the Chicago
Convention" and spoke of him as "the
candidate of our party for Governor
and advised people to vote for him.
This the General proclaimed was sufIi-
cient evidence that Bryan was an an
archist. He was repeatedly cheered.

Have Been For Some Years Past.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25.-Special
correspondence of the United Associated
Presses has the following;
Toxic, Oct. 10.-The publication of the
new Japanese civil code renders ii clear
that the complaints made by Europeans
and Americans about the tenure of land
under the revised treaties are baseless.
Although the privilege of owning land
is withheld, foreigners will be able to
obtain land for any number of years in
the capacity of ''superficiaries. In
their capacity they will be able to pur-
chase a right Of tenure holding good for
Whatever term is entered on the face OF
the contract, and the rent will contain
absolute ownership Of all buildings,
trees or bambooss on the land The in
tervention of a court of law may subse-
quently be invoked by the owner should
the original conditions Of tenure prove
onerous to him. But that is a secondary
question. The main fact is that after the
abolition of consular jurisdiction in
1899, foreigners will be able to obtain
leases of land in any and every part of
Japan for whatever term of years they
may think convenient.
The medical inspection regulations
that have been in force since April of
the present year against ShfpS coming
to Japan from Chinese and .Formosan
ports. have now ceased to be operative,
the Importation of bubonic plague and
cholera being no longer apprehended.
The returns of 1873 national banks in
Japan for the first half of the current
year show that an average dividend Of
L. ~ per cent. was paid, against 11.S0
for the corresponding period last year.
The scale of these banks business is not

Protest Against the RaineS Law
Duke of AbruZZi and Italian Naval
Officers Pay Visit to the Niagara
Electric Power Plant.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-An indigna-
ton meeting held tonight under the
auspices of the Irish Amnesty Asso-
citation, to protest against the brutali-
ties to which DR.. Thomas Gallagher,
George Albert Whitehead and other
lrish-American political prisoners were
subjected to in English prisons, was
great success. The hall was crowded,
and Hon. Morgan J. O'Brien, Judge Of
of the Supreme Court, presided He re-
ceived an ovation. Judge O'Brien then
said that it was perfectly natural that
the Government of this country should
protest against the crimes and outrages
perpetrated against American citizens
IN English dungeons. He said that the
President of the United States recently
took prompt action in the Venezuelan
case and told England to keep hands
off, He said that the Venezuelan ques-
ton involved the same principle as the
question here represented
Resolutions were adopted deploring
the treatment accorded to Irish Amer
lean political prisoners in England, and
calling on the United States Govern
ment to secure mitigation of the pun
lshment accorded those still incarcer-
ated on similar charges.
A collection was taken, and it was an
nounced that $1,000 had been realized.
DR.. Edward McGlynn, the last
speaker, said in part: I'VE are here to-
night to plead for the most helpless of
men. The tramp and the pauper are
princes in their freedom compared with
the prisoners who are in the clutches of
the law. But l take it that this meet
ing is not a defiance of Great Britain.
We are met here in the interests of con-
citation, and rather to demonstrate.
expostulate and request the liberation
of the Irish-American prisoners in Brit
lsh prisons rather than to desys's,
DR.. McGlynn stated that the move
ment was an appeal for mercy for men
whose only fault was that they loved
their country well. The revelation of
the mental and physical condition of
DR.. Gallagher and of Whitehead had
been as much of shock to the English
people as to the friends of the prisoners
themselves
In concluding, DR.. McGlynn said:
Moral suasion should be used and pub
lie sentiment will result in securing the
liberty Of the men still in prison.

DUKE OF ABRUZZI.
he Visits the Electric Power Plant
at Niagara Falls.

NIAGARA FALLS On. W, Oct. %
The Duke of Abruzzi, Commander Ber-
toloni, and other officers of the Italian
cruiser Cristoforo Colombo, now at
Philadelphia, arrived here at o'clock
this evening on the special train ten
dered by the Lehigh Valley Railroad.
The train consisted of an observation
car and dining car, part of the mag
nificent outfit of the famous Black Dia-
mond Express.
On the run over the mountains his
highness expressed great pleasure at
the magnificent scenery in the Switzer-
land of America and the WON
derful view of the Wyoming Val
ley, and evinced much interest
in the movements of the train
and the construction of the road Re-
markably fast time was made both in
ascending and descending the mount
ain. Whenever stop was made crowds
of sightseers We're at the stations anx-
ious to get a glimpse of the Prince.
At Easton and Wilkesbarre commit
tees of Italians welcomed the Prince
through their Chairman. His highness
gracefully acknowledged the courtesy.
A committee from Scranton asked that
the Prince stop over there, but the ar
rangements precluded this.
On arriving here the party was driven
to the Cataract House, where. after the
Italians of the town had paid their re-
spects, carriages were taken for the
power-house. The Prince thoroughly
inspected the works, descending the
shaft 1S5 feet to see the working of the
turbines. From there they We're driven
through Prospect Park, thence return
ing to the hotel. Tomorrow morning the
party will be shown the falls from both
sides of the river, and, after a ride on
the gorge road, will take a special train
for PHILADELPHIA at noon.
