SUNDAY sPEAkEASIES,
A Revival of the Business, According
to the Police.

A Revival of the Business, According
to the Police.
According to the work of the police yes
terday, there seems to have been a revival
in the Sunday "speakeasy" trade, for three
arrests were made although in one case
the prosecution abandoned the charge. The
defendant in this case was young colored
man named William Evans. but the evil
dence gathered by Policeman Brennan
showed that he was a benevolent citizen.
Several times the officer received informa-
ton that William had been selling beer on
Sundays to the residents of several alleys,
and yesterday he found him with a basket
well filled with bottled beer. He had a
piece Of ice on the bottles, and when he
had made the rounds of Jackson Hall alley
the officer arrested him.
Il was only treating my friends" was his
plea.
His friends were interviewed and they
proved to be his friends for they declared
that they had been treated to the beer and
had not bought any of it. For this reason
the charge was nolle pressed.
Yesterday morning Sergt. Bryan and Po-
hcemen O'Dea. Tracy and Payne raided the
premises OF a colored man named John
Taplett, at the corner of 18th and B streets
northeast. Taplett keeps a grocery store,
and because of sworn evidence against him
the officers went there with warrant. A
good supply of beer was found in the wood
shed, and several white patrons found there
were summoned as witnesses.
In South Washington at No. II o street
Sergt. Daley led a rafding party. Annie
Walker Is the occupant of the house, and
the police were admitted without the throw
ing of any I've. such as was done in a re-
cent case. Three men in the place were
enjoying some cold beer, and the officers
found others who had also made purchases,
SO they said. Annie went with the officers
and was locked up.
In both these cases counsel demanded
jury trials. and bond in the sum Of $1,000
was fixed in each case.

KISSED A CLERGYMAN.
A Preacher DenOunces the Demo-
CRITIC Presidential Candidate.

cratic Presidential Candidate.
There was almost a riot in the Academy
Of Music, New York, yesterday morning
while Rev. Thomas Dixon, jr., was deliver
ing a sermon on 1.-The Political Crisis"
Many persons in the congregation, taking
offense at the preachers red hot denuncia-
ton of Bryan and his supporters, rose and
left the hail. Many Others who sympathiz-
ed with the free silver candidate, remained
and gave vent to their disapproval of Mr.
Dixon's attack in Kisses, catcalls and noisy
demonstrations. The lie was passed be-
tween the preacher and his hearers, and the
outlook became so threatening at one time
that it was feared it would be necessary to
call for the police.
One thing Mr.. Dixon said was:
1.-The proposition of Mr.. Bryan and his
followers to pay the bonds of the United
States, upon which one hundred cents on
the dollar was raised, in coin worth only
fifty-five cents is downright rascality."
Several persons shouted That's falsev'
you are wrongr' shut upr' and many of
those present Missed. For a moment Mr.
Dixon hesitated and seemed stunned, but
soon rec overed himself and exclaimed: IF
the government does that ii goes into the
bunco-steering business"
He was again interrupted by loud and
prolonged kissing and shouts of That's
not right" You don't know what you are
talking about!' One gray-haired man arose
and exclaimed, Il won't stand this any
longer" and rushed from the building. He
was followed by fully fifty others, who
cried "Shamer' as they left the room
Mr.. Dixon became nervous ami turned

THE GRIFFIN CRISIS.
Berlin Government Favors Granting a Now
 Consultation to the Island.

Berlin, Aug. 23.-The Berlin govern ment continues to actively support the initiative of Count Goulochowski, Aus trian minister of foreign affairs, toward the solution of the differences existing in Crete. Since Lord Salisbury's rejec- tion of the proposal to establish a blockade around Crete Count Goulo- chowski has urged the porte to grant a new constitution to the island, the main features of which are the appointment of a Christian governor and the estab- lishment of the Cretan financial auton- omy, with the payment of tribute to the sultan under the general guarantee of the European powers.
 The foreign consuls at Canea com municated the terms to Count Goulo- chowski's proposals to the Christian deputies of Crete on Friday and al- though the fighting between the Chris tians and the Turks on the island is still in progress it is the opinion in diplomatic circles here that the Chris tions will accept the conditions which are really tantamount to autonomy with an annual payment of tribute to the porte.

MOTEL AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY.
MT. Eddy to Send n Camera Up on Kites
 1000 Feet Above Boston.

Boston, Aug. 2S.-William A. Eddy of Bayonne, N J., has arrived in Bos- ton with twenty-two large kites with which on Monday an attempt will be made to photograph the city by means drought the upward pull of a chain of his tailless kites of the type used at Blue Hill observatory, when an altitude of 7,441 feet was attained by meteor- graph MT. Eddy started from Bayonne with twenty-three kites, but he lost one during very high ascension at Port land, Me.
 MT. Eddy's plan Is to send his cam era up about 1000 feet above the city in case there is a relatively clear sky, since sunshine is necessary for effective photographic work by this instanta- neous process. In case of a cloudy sky photography will be discontinued for the time and elf-recordng ther- mometer will be set up to as high a point as possible. MT. Eddy's obser- vations of temperature above Boston are to be compared with kite observa- tions at Blue Hill observatory taken simultaneously. This will be the first attempt to establish weather maps sim ultaneously. It is not intended to dis place the present weather bureau map, but simply to reinforce it with addition- al data.

Sound Money Democratic Movement l Gaining Strength.

Indianapolis Aug. 23.-Sound money democrats from throughout the coun- try who drop into the headquarters of the national democracy here to look over the ground and size up the pros poets for the conference declare that the movement Is gaining strength be- yond their expectations and is develop ing a force they little hoped for when they launched it. Since the first test of the popular strength of the move ment was made in Kentucky the lead- CTS have received encouraging reports of it's progress The turnout at the primary elections for delegat tes to the convention In Illinois yesterday was an agreeable surprise to them. It Is gen orally understood among the members of the national committee that the New York delegation shall be permitted to name the temporary chairman of the convention, and it Is the supposition that 1t will select Bourke Cochran.
 For permanent chairman there has been much talk of Senator Villas of Wisconsin, but during the last few days Mr Villas has loomed up in large proportions as a possibility for the presidential nomination, If this seems probable when the convention meets, the permanent chairman will be taken from the south, and there is talk of Senator Caffery of Louisiana and ex- Governor Jones of Alabama for the position. The correspondence of the executive committee indicating a large attendance is borne out by the hotel engagements that have been pouring In since Friday night in a manner that at first tickled the bonifaces and now alarms them.
 Chairman Bynum of the national democratic executive committee says:
 Any rumor to the effect that MT. Cleveland has written to me or has in any way indicated any indisposition toward the nomination of a ticket is without foundation. Furthermore. this convention will. without any manner of doubt, nominate a democratic can- didate for president and vice president upon a democratic platform"
