THE BEER BOYCOTT.
Action of the Brevvers-The Resolution
of the EelerntiOu.


Each side in the beer conflict today ex-
presses the utmost confidence in it's own
success. No more OF the locked-out men

the brewers, be taken back, as there is no
room for them in any of the breweries

boycott has been made as strict as possible
by the Federation of Labor and the
Knights of Labor, the breweries are selling
more beer than they have ever done.

statement that the resolution reported
passed at the last meeting of the Fedora
ton pledgins the delegates of that body to
refuse to Tatrcnize saloons selling
the product OF the, local brewers was
passed unanimously ! without discus
sion was incorrect. such was not
the case" said The Stars informant. ''The
resolution provoked "a lengthy discussion
and was opposed by some of the most
prominent members Of that body. On the
adoption of the resolution the vote was IL
in the affirmative and 80 in the negative
An analysis Of the vote shows that a ma
Jcrity OF the organization present voted

Much Interest Expressed mt the
Capitol Over the Rcnorf


The Associated Press dispatch giving the
details of the treaty which is reported to
have been perfected between Russia and
Turkey was circulated on the floor of the
Senate today and was read with express
sions of general interest, especially by the
members of the committee on foreign re-
lations.
Senator Davis expressed the sentiments of
a majority of the committee when he said;
If true, this is the most important diplo-
matte event which has occurred in the past
fifty years. 1t means that Russia can move
her armies across the Turkish border. Such
tlement of the Armenian question and il
France has also entered into the alliance,
as appears probable, the result would be
that the fieets of those two countries would
virtually control the Mediterranean, and
that means more than any one can now
foresee. Ut also means that England will
have something to do besides bullying
Uncle Sam
Senators Morgan, Lodge and Cullom read
the report with avidity, and all remarked
upon the vast Importance of the news if it
should prove to be true.
Mr.. Lodge said that a coalition between
Russia and Turkey such as that indicated
would mean that England would have her
hands full of business on her own continent
without interfering with American affairs.
Senator Villas, who, while not member
of the committee on foreign relations,
takes great interest i'm foreign questions,
remarked that it looked as if Russia had at
last succeeded in getting foothold on the
Mediterranean and was on the eve of vir-
tually anneXing Turkey to her dominions.
He confessed that his sympathies had al
ways been with Russia in this struggle.

IMPORTANCE OF THE RUMOR

LONDON, January 23.-A dispatch TO the
Pail Mall Gazette from Constantinople.
dated yesterday, says that an offensive and
defensive alliance has been concluded be-
tween Russia and Turkey.
The dispatch adds that the treaty was
signed at Constantinople, and that ratifca-
tions were exchanged at St Petersburg be-,
tween Aarej Pasha and the czar The basis
CT the treaty is declared TO be on the lines Of
the Unkiarskelossi agreement of 1893 by
which Turkey agreed, in the event of Russia
going to war, to close the Dardanelles to
warshfps of all nations.
The treaty was soon abandoned ov-
ing to the refusal of the powers to recog-
rize it. He also says that the French am
bassador, NJ Cambon, conferred with the
sultan yesterday, and that it is probable
France will be included in the new alliance.
Commenting on its dispatch from Con-
stantlnople announcing the signing of a
treaty between Russia and Turkey for Of
fensive and defensive purposes, the Pail
Mall Gazette saws:
Turkey is Russia's vassaI.
1--WE regard the news as true, and the re-
suit of the treaty is that the Dardanelles fs
now the southern outpost of Russia and
Turkey is Russia's vassal. We presume the
British government will protest against tie
treaty for all it is worth.
THE information is plainly of the very
gravest importance
The first intimation reached us four days
ago, but We withheld it until the arrival
OF strong confirmation which we received
this morning. This brings Russia into the
Mediterranean with vengeance, and may
necessitate the strengthening of our fleet
in those Waters. Politically, the effect will
De lar greater. The treaty means that
Turkey has realized her own impotence
against disorders, both from within and
without, and has decided to throw herself
for safety into the arms of Russia She
Is now Russia's vassal, and Russia is en-
titled to dispatch troops to any part of
the sultan's dominions whenever there is
the least breach of disorder-and when is
there not?
We presume the ARRANGEMENT will give
the keenest satisfaction to the Anglo
Armenian section of our people. With them
hes the chief blame for the complete aliena-
ton OF Turkey, though it must be owned
that 1t has been sedulously fostered by a
long term of weak policy at Constanti-
nople
Have No Information
The officials of tie foreign office when
questioned on the subject this afternoon
said they had no information regarding
the statement telegraphed to the Pail Mall
Gazette from Constantinople saying that
an offensive and defensive alliance between
Russia and Turkey had been formed bv a
treaty recently signed there and ratified at
st. Petersburg later
At the Russian Embassy.
The officials Of the Russian embassy here
deny having any knowledge of the existence
OF Russo-Turkish treaty on the basis in
dicated by the Pail Mall Gazette.

Salvation Army Meetings to Re Held

The Salvation Army is going right on
with its work in America, as well as in 1he
rest Of the world, regardless of the defec-
ton Of its recent American commanders
and few Of their personal adherents and
the officers in charge of its various depart
ments, all Of whom remain at their posts

ever to make Its work successful. Under
the new American commanders, Commits

DIFFERENTLY IN EUROPE
A Captain in the Spanish Navy Apologies
for Public Utterancea
Called to Account By Minister TAYLOR
The Remarks to Which Ex.
ceptiOn Was Tnker.

Government officials In Spain are held to
a much stricter accountability for their
public ucterances than is the case with our
officials. The case of Capt Concas of the
Spanish navy affords a good illustration of
the statement That officer commanded one
OF the caravels sent to the worlds fair by
the Spanish government, and was evidently
not well pleased with his treatment here.
Recently he delivered an address before the
biographical Society of Madrid, in which
ne renected SO severely on the people and
institutions of the United States that his
conduct was made the basis of a formal
complaint to the Spanish government. by
Mr.. Taylor. the United States minister 10
Spain, with the result that the officer was
compelled to make a public apology
What He said.
Details Of the incident ere given in La
Epcca, a Madrid newspaper, copies of
which have just reached here. According
to this paper the following are portions of
Captain Concas' lecture to which Minister
Taylor took exception:
THE climate of the United States has
such effect on its people that the third
generation, without mingling with the In
olans. have the same shaped skulls as
THE development of the United States is
due only to the unity Of the race and high
salaries They care only for the mighty
uoiiar ana 90 not care to represent any
thing in the worlds history"
The politicians and administration are
the most immoral in the world, and at
DanQuets no one cares to sit next to a
politician or member of the administra-
tion. At West Point the cadets were lock-
cd In cells. studying mathematics and
spending sp 1 their spare moments in caring for
their linen. They were even afraid to
drill in the presence of my staff and my
self. In the United States the people are
neither we'll instructed nor ignorant and
are only half cultured. The United States
is rot America, but should be called West
ern Europe. Mix the good and the bad
ana II Is impossible to say whether the
United states is an element in civilization
or great danger to it,"
La Epoca says that at the close Of the
lecture there was great applause and thai
General Andfa, president of the Geographi-
cal Society. requested Captain Concas to
give him permission to print the lecture in
the society's bulletin.
What a Diplomat Thinks.
A diplomat who had read the above ex-
tracts said that in his opinion they did not
begin to approach in severity the many
harsh and insulting things said about Spain
and her people by high officials of the
United States government, including promi-
nent members Of Congress, for which no
one had thought 1t necessary or proper to
apologize. Admiral Meade he said, in his
recent lecture on the Caribbean had made
terrible arrafgnment of the Spanish gov
ernment and would probably have become
indignant II the propriety of his rks
had been questioned But then, you know
he added, they do these things differently
in Europe"
