Speaks About the New
York Excise Law.
He Would Submit the Question
to the People.
Does Not Believe the Present Way
Is Satisfactory.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-Mayor Strong to-
dsy sent his annual message 20 the Board
OF Aldermen. after review OF the city's
finances, the mayor refers to the police
department and the excise question as
follows: Zone of the most difficult prob
lem tibet faced tho commissioners OF po-
lice was the enforcemnt OF the excise
p ople as rule were nfamiliar with their
exact provisions and Rad grown accus-
toned o a kind OF en- orce ment which led
them to believe that the laws were differ
ent from what their wording showed
them to be, or that the abuses 4 such
laws had grown into such scustom that
the enforcement thereof was judged not
by what IL should be, but by what it has
been. However, we may differ upon the
propriety of the laws upon the statute
books, however we may differ upon the
matter of excise legislature, however
much our views may vary upon the priv
ileges TO be granted on one or another
day of the week, the principle must be
Observed that laws enacted must be en-
forced until they are repealed. In no
other way can force be properly organ
lied, disciplined and maintained, and in
no other manner can law and order he
established and maintained in a crowded
community or otherwise.
Personally, do not believe that the
enforcement of our exercise laws will
ever fail to breed more or less discomfort
until the quetion of the Sunday opening
OF the saloons is es.ab blished by vote
of the people themselves, and ! would
gladly wish the question be submitted FOR
decision at the polls at time other than
that OF general election, rs to whether or
no, the people desire the opening OF
saloons on Sunday, and, il they do SO de-
sire it, what period of that day shall be
allowed for that purpose.
81 do not believe that the most health.
fuI enforcement OF the law can be had,
however, great many appear the neces-
sity therefor, by the employment OF a
system OF espionage that creates suspic-
ion, either as to its fairness or the man
ner in which it is enforced. -

The Antitrust Resolution
Was Adopted.
Prevailing Sentiment Against
All Amendments.
In Favor of Tariff Bill as it Came
From the House.

WAsHISeToN, Jan. 6. Tho House com-
n,ittee on judiciary today agreed TO report
a resolution calling upon the Attorney
General for information as TO why pro-
ceedings had not been taken to enforce
the antitrust law.
The House adopted the antitrust reso-
luton.
The Republican Senators went into
caucus at 10:30 O'Clock today, but ed-
journed at u to meet again after conclu-
sion of the days session OF the Senate.
The entire time Of the caucus was con-
sumed discussing proposed amendments
TO the tariff bill, nut no formal expression
was secured upon any OF them this being
left until the afternoon session. The
prevailing sentiment appeared to be
against all amendme ats and the tendency
favored reporting the rill as il came from
the House. Several Senators expressed
doubts as TO the wisdom OF the bill in
any shape and there was an evident dis
posit ion TO regard the bill as purely an
emergency measure.
Several mem bers of the House cousulted
tion OF resolutions for the recog ,ition OF
the insurgents of Cuba as belligerents.
Chairman Hit of the committee on
foreign affairs said that he had no objec-
tions to the introduction of resolutions
on the subject, although resolutions COW
cring it had been introduced and were
now before the committee which was
<<ft tl..t .t<ro
who consulted Speaker Reed concerning
immediate consideration OF a resolution
for.recognition OF the Cuban insurgents
were informed that the matter was one
of so much importance that 1t was well
to have it thoroughly considered IN COM
mittee. 1t is quite likely that the Cuban
question will not come up for discussion
until The com mittee on foreign affairs
make report. Representative Suizer OF
New York city, who has been promi-
nently identified with the movement to
secure the recognition of the Cubans as
belligerents, called at the state department
today, accompanied by President Palma
of the Cuban revolutionary committee
in this country, Secretary Quesada, Ho-
ratio Rubens, as prominent Cuban sympa-
thizer, and Manuel sanguilly, brother
of he Sanguilly now held In Mora Castle,
Havana. Secretary Olney was about to
leave for the ca binet meeting so the
party did not see him. They left large
bundle OF papers for his inspection. 1t is
believed the main purpose o; the visit was
to secure energetic action in the behal!
of the imprisoned Sanguilly, who claims
American ci izeDsbip. Aside from this,
the visit was doubtless for the purpose OF
calling attention TO the advancement of
the insurgents on Havana.
