NEW EXCISE LAW.
Raines' Liquor Bill Goes to Gov. Morton
for Signature.

Tor signature.
Albany, n. Y, March 13.-Behind
locked doors the assembly voted on the
Raines excise bill Thursday, and before
adjournment it passed by a vote of
"a yeas to SO nays. The bill passed the
senate last Tuesday, and now goes to
Gov. Morton for his signature. 1t is
conceded that the governor will sign
the bill and that it will become law
1t is presumed that the immediate eff
feet of the measure will be the whole
sale reduction of the number of saloons
in the state, and its adherents claim
a great increase in state revenue.
THE Raines liquor bill is measure to
put the entire liquor traffic and interests
under state control. 1t abolishes all local
excise boards and creates state commits
sioner. deputy, three inspectors and GO
iEspectors-at-large. The commissioners
bureau is located at Albany. The bill raises
the license rates in New York city to
$500, in Brooklyn TO $3.50, and in smaller
cities to $500. The present license rate
in New York for saloons is $3.50, and the
granting of licenses is at the option of
the municipal excise commissioners Under
the Raines bill all-night licenses and the
sale of liquor on Sundays are prohibited
except in hotels with meals. This pro-
hibition extends to clubs. 1t fixes a fine
for a violation of the law at not less than
twice the amount of the licensee. 1t al
lows local option in towns but not in cities.
1t compels the posting of liquor licenses
in windows of saloons, and also requires
saloons TO leave open the shades during
the time they must close. No saloon can
d. business within 200 feet of a church
or school, The bill gives one-third of the
net revenue collected to the state and two
thirds to the county. Under the present law

AFFAIRS IN ITALY.
The New Cabinet-Storm of Popular An
ger Has subsidized.

|
ger Has subsidized.
Rome, March 9.-There was much diff
ficulty found in the task of forming
new ministry. Sig. Saracco declined
the responsibility, while an attempt to
form a Saracco-Rudini combination
equally failed. King Humbert con-
ferred with Gen. Ricotti at seven o'clock
Sunday evening and charged him with
the formation of a cabinet. Gen. Ri
cotti yielded the premiership to Marquis
di Rudini and himself assumed the port
folio of war. The cabinet as formed
will be:
Marquis di Rudini, premier and ministe,
of the interior.
Gen. Ricotti, minister of war
Senior PerazZi, minister of the treasury.
Admiral Raccnia, minister of marine.
Sig. Guicciardini. minister of finance.
Sig. Granturio. minister of justice.
Rome, March l4.-Out of the terrible
storm OF popular anger which swept
over Italy when the news of the defeat
of the army under Gen. Baratieri
reached here little remains but a feel
ing of great resent ment against the
Italian commander. All rioting has
ceased. The reservists, who fed from
the country sooner than so to Africa
at the call of the government for the
class of 1872, are returning, and it is
not believed any steps will be taken to
punish them.
Negotiations with King Menelek have
been opened, it is expected peace will
be concluded before long, and the war
office has countermanded the instruc-
tions sent to various points for the
hurrying forward of reenforcements
to Africa.
According to the Italia Militare,
King Menelek offers in the peace ne
gotiations as much as Italy could have
hoped for before the battle of Adowa.
The new cabinet is settling down
to work, and the financial situation is
brighter than anticipated. Under these
circumstances Italy breathes treer
than for some time past, and there is a
feeling of gratitude for those who have
aided in Berlin during the last few days
in bringing about this change from
blank despair to great hope in the fu-
ture.
TO cap the peaceful climax comes the
pleasantreportt that Emperor William of
Germany, Emperor Francis Joseph of
Austria and King Humbert will meetat
Genoa in a few days, and a series of bril-
liant fetes will mark this public proof
of the renewal of the ties which COM
pose the dreibund, which is intended
to demonstrate to all whom it may con-
Germ that Italy, instead of being friend
less. upon the verge of bankruptcy and
incumbered by a tottering throne, is
strong in the earnest support of Ger
many and Austria, and will be backed
by Great Britain in any great emer-
gency.
