SMUGGLED WHISKEY.
1T Is CAUSING CANADIANS MUCH
ANXIETY.
Americans are Said to Be Engaged
Largely in the Business-Proposi-
tions to Put an End to It-what
Is Needed.

New York, Nov. PA Sun special
from Ottawa, Ont, says: For some
time past the Canadian government
has been investigating the large amount
of smuggling that is being carried on
along the gulf and river st. Lawrence,
and along the Nova Scotia coast The
collector of customs at Quebec reports
that the cruiser Constance is not equal
to the work of patrolling the st. Law
renee, and urges that another vessel
be added to the revenue protective serv-
ice in that district. He says that he
is now positive that much of the
whisky that was supposed to have been
Smuggled into Canada from the French
island of St. Pierre Miquelon is brought
in from the United States. American
vessels, he says, load up in the United
States with whisky for export in bond
and then bring their cargo down to
the Nova Scotian coast or into the
gulf of st. Lawrence, where that por-
ton of it which is intended to be snug
gied into Canada is transferred 10
Canadian vessels, while to American
fishing vessels is transferred that which
it is intended shall be taken back to
the United States to be smugg1ed into
American ports. The commissioner of
customs says, however, that he can
uHu6TSlduu HOW the AulSIlctil
customs can be evaded in this way.
unless their laws are different from
those of the Dominion, where it
necessary to furnish a certificate to the
custom house where the goods were
entered outward for export from the
port at which they were landed.
AS regards the smuggling now be-
ing carried on from the French island
of ST. Pierre Miquelon, it is said that
the government is now taking active
steps toward securing from France the
right to have a Canadian customs Off
Ger or consul stationed there to watch
the movements of suspected vessels.
This was attempted some years ago by
Sir John Macdonald. who made repre-
sensations jointly with the government
of New Foundland to the British gov
eminent, requesting that government to
secure permission from France to have
a Canadian agent stationed at ST.
Pierre! For some unexplained reason
the French government objected, and
the matter was pressed no further 1t
was presumed, however, that the in
huence came from the French mer-
chants doing business at st. Pierre, who
did not want their trade relations with
the Canadian smugglers interferred
with. 1t may be mentioned that the
reports in the customs department here
show that the United States revenue
has been a sufferer to a very large
extent with Canada in the depredations
of the smugglers who have made their
rendezvous at St Pierre.

HANNA NOT In IT.
SENATOR PROCTOR RESPONSIVE E
FOR THE STORY.
His Name From the Cabinet Slate

New York, Nov. IA Herald Wash
ington special says: Senator Proctor is
the authority for the positive state
ment that Mark Hanna viii not be q
member of the Mckinley cabinet The
Vermont senator is not only close to
the preSident-elect, but he is also a
warm personal friend and admirer of
Mark Hanna. 1t was While talking over
the situation yesterday, that Senator
Proctor gave this interesting informal
ton concerning the political prospects
of Mr.. Hanna. According to Senator
Proctor, the president-elect and many
of his most devoted followers would De
delighted if Mr.. Hanna would consent
TO take place in the cabinet. Mr.
Hanna, however, has no aspirations in
that line and, therefore, it is useless
to use his name in the speculation over
cabinet folios. While denying .the
Hanna report, Senator Proctor also
took occasion to wipe his own name
from the cabinet slate. He has enjoyed
all the glory that goes with a cabinet
position, and he would not relinquish
his seat in the senate for a score of
cabinet portfolios.
In this connection it is also stated
That there is no disposition on the part
of the preSident-elect to attempt to in
fiuence the Republicans in the senate
to pass the Dingley tariff bill during
the coming short session of congress-
1t is generally admitted that there has
been no material change in the political
complexion of the senate since the
Dingley bill was last considered by that
body, and therefore it is not probable
that such a measure would be as
strong with the Republican party now
as it was last winter.
Under the circumstances Senator
Proctor says he does not see that any
practical result can be obtained in
the direction of increasing the rev.
enues at the coming short session, and
there will have to be a full. free con-
sideration of the subject when the Re-
publican party is responsible for all the
branches of government

Washington, Nov. 24-The con-
gressional joint commission investigat-
ing the subject of the use of free
alcohol in the arts and manufactures
and in medicinal compounds, with a
view to devising and reporting a
scheme of regulations by which that
use may be secured without detriment
TO the revenues of the government, re-
SumeG its sessions today at the CAPT.
tai All the members were present ex-
cept Senator Aldrich.
Mr.. Charles h. Merritt, accompanied
by S. c. Holly, ]. c. Willard, Frank NJ.
Storr and Nelson Booth, appeared as
representatives of the National AssO-
citation of Hatmakers and addressed the
committee. He explained the mOdus
operandi of making stiff hats, to show
wherein alcohol was used in the con-
stfucuOn of hats. Wood ancohOl Is al
most entirely used, although the gen.
moSG consensus of opinion of ma1ufac-
turers was that grain alcohol was SUI
perior to wood alcohol. The COMPETE
ton in the trade is so close, Mr.. Mer-
rift said that hat makers felt that they
were entitled to whatever aid the gov
eminent could give them. Wood alcO-
hol pays no internal revenue tax, so
that it cuts no figure to the govern
alcohol, and would do so if it were free
from tax
Mr.. Holly, also member of the
hatmakerS' committee, informed the
committee that if the manufacturers
could use grain alcohol in their trade.
the people would get a better hat for
the same money Mr. Bates, of the in
ternal revenue bureau. who was pres
ent with two or three associates, ex-
pressed the opinion that the removal of
the tax upon alcohol used in manufac-
lures would be a tremendous tempta-
ton to commit frauds upon the rev.
enues.
The hearing at this point drifted into
q somewhat informal discussion of
methods by which frauds could be pre-
vented, if at all. Mr.. Bates said the
least Objectionable method probably.
would be to require the manufacturers
to pay the cost of extra precaution.
Frank StOrr and Nelson Booth. oper-
atives. gave to the committee the re-
suits of their experience as TO the eff
fects of wood alcohol upon EMPLOYEES
who work with it. These are generally
bad. producing headache. Inflammation
of the eyes and a catarrhaI-Iike con-
ditiOn of the throat
Senator Chandler of New Hampshire
informally addressed the committee He
said that three propositions could not
be denied: First, that alcohol used as
a beverage and to make men drunk
should be taxed 900 per cent: second.
that alcohol used in the arts and medi-
clnes should not be taxed at all. or at
most only enough to save the govern
ment in the matter of extra expendi-
ture for extra precaution: third. that
1t should not be taxed more when used
in beneficial medicines. To say that
such law could not be passed and
successfully administered was to i'm
peach the ability of the American peo-
pie to organize a proper internal rev.
enue bureau. 1t had been done.in other
countries. and could be done here
After an executive session. the com
mittee adjourned to meet Monday
morning next in New York City.

WAS a FAIRY STORY.
Reports OF r. etrials Denied-WeyIer's
Statement


Havana, Nov. e4-The report circu-
lated be- the New York World to the
effect that men captured on the Ameri-
can filibustering schooner Competitor
had been retired BIZ court-martial de-
spite protest filed by Consul General
Lee prior 70 his departure from Ha-
vana, is absolutely without a word of
truth. Every effort has been made to
learn the true reasons for the return
last night of Captain General Weyler
from the province. of Pinar Del Rio. All
that is known is. that he came here on
the gunboat from Mariel, accompanied
by only one adjutant. The rest of
his staff came by rail from ArteInisa.
General Weller has made no official
declaration concerning the condition of
affairs in the province of Pinar del
Rio. IN an interview had with him
just before he left sPinar del Rio, he
said he was satisfied with his cam
paign. He had crossed TO the south
and had expected to meet Maceo to
give him combat He had, however,
met onl-f small bands OF rebels, who
disappeared when the Spanish troops
came near TO them. General Weyler
said: :I do not know where Maceo
is. did not meet him in the hills or
dells of Pinar del Rio. The rebels al
ways flee on the approach of our
troops" General Weyler says the sup
plies Of cattle that had been obtained
by the insurgents are disappearing, the
troops capturing and destroying all
that they saw The military combina-
tions planned by him had resulted as
ne had expected. All these combina-
lions were not finished, but there
would be much less to do at the end of
the year.
The press comments on the return
of the captain general are very good
as is natural under the strict censor
ship exercised here. 1t is rumored that
he will soon return to the field. One re-
port hes it that the chief reason for
his return to Havana was pressing
government business which demanded
his personal attention. Some dissat-
isfaction is quietly expressed even by
loyalists, that. General Wevler, after
his long preparations to infiict a crush
inS blow on Maceo, should now come
back to the capital without even catch
ing sight of the main body of the reb
els. The rebel sympathiZers are jubi
liant, believing that General Weylers
return siEnalizes the abandonment Of
his leadership OF the camDaign.

sLATTERY FACES \ MOB.
Ex-Priest and Wife Have u Tough
Experience.


Chicago, Nov "a special from
New York says: 1t took all the police
reserves in Newark, n. J., today to
save Slattery, the ex-priest, from being
mobbed. He lectured in that city, and
at the close of the performance, a
crowd of 1900 gathered at the doors to
wait for his appearance on the street.
Slattery and his wife waited in the
church until the crowd began TO dis
perse. guard of 25 policemen then
escorted the couple to cab. Then
the cabman dashed his horse and at
tempted to break a way through the
mob. Orders N the meantime had been
issued for the police reserves, who
came doublequick to the scene of the
trouble. As many.as 5000 persons were
still massed together, the most of them
with the sole purpose in view of reach
ing Slattery. 1t was a struggling.
bowling mob, and the ex-priest drew a
revolver. A shower of stones and
other missiles greeted this action, and
until the end of his perilous journey,
Slattery was in danger from frequent
attacks. Slattery and his wife had just
got safely aboard a train bound for
New York when the crowd began TO
pour into the building.

Causer was the favorite in the betting
at odds of to 4 on. The men were
supposed to enter the ring at 1913

The clubhouse was obowded. Billy
Briesley,. Jimmy Kelly and Anthony
Diemond seconded Connolly, while
Jack Macfarland and Harry Overton
acted in a similar capacity for Causer.
In the first round Connolly forced
the fighting and landed heavily OF,
Causer's jaw. A claim of foul against
Connolly in this round was not al

In the second round, Connolly
smashed Causer in the throat The

Connolly heavily on the chin. and gen
orally had the best of it. In the fourth
round, Causer was similarly favored
and his friends became jubilant. When
the men came up in the fifth round it
was anybodys fight. After sparring
for a while, Connolly jabbsd Causer

TT WAS A FAILURE.
WeyIer's Recent Campaign in Pinar
Del Rio.


New York, Nov. 24.-The sympathiz-
ers with the Cuban cause in this city
we're very jubilant today over the news
that Captain General Weyler had re-
turned to Havana. Several reasons are
given for. the generals action in with
drawing from the field, one of them
being that Marquis Ahumada, who
took charge of affairs in Havana dur
ing the absence of General Weyler, did
not properly conduct the war. The
Cubans all aSree that Weyler's cam
paign in Pinar Del Rio has been a
failure. Senior Estrada Palma, presi-
dent of the junta, in conversation with
a reporter today, said: Il think Cen
eral WeYler has disgraced himself by
leaving the field, for. although he had
over three times the number of men
at his command that Maceo has in
Pinar Del Rio, he has not accomplished
his avowed purpose to crush the revo-
lutionists. Transformation has come
to me-" he continued. that the in
surgent forces under General Calixto
Garcia have besieEed Puerto Principe,
the fourth largest city in the island,
which they now practically control,
and this, l believe, had something to do
with his return, for he is needed in Ha-
Nana to direct the entire movements of
the Spanish army.
