Regarding Queen Victoria's APPROX
al of the provision excluding strong
drink from Khama's Kingdom and
her concluding remark: Il feel
strongly in this matter, and am glad
to see that the chiefs have determin-
ed to keep so great a curse from the
people," the Scottish League Journal
logically says: "This is no utterance
that can be discounted because made
bv an extremist. 1t cannot be laughed
at as like utterances have been when
made by 'rabid teetotalers.' 1t is a
verdict from the throne-an arraign-
ment of the liquor traffic in highest
place. We overture to say that com
paratively little while ago no such ut
terances would have been given by
Her Majesty. But now from the low
est circle up to the highest the con-
viction is clear and deep that the Ii
amor traffic is a menace to safety, a
hindrance to all good, and an engine
of destruction physically, socially,
morally, and spiritually"

Russia has determined upon moth
Ing less than a complete government
monopoly of the manufacture and
sale of the liquor supply for the en-
tire empire. Somewhat more than
two years are to be allowed for the
system to attain completeness. 1t is
Ito be put in force in eight provinces
on the first day of July next, in seven
other provinces on the first day of
July, 1897, and throughout all the rest
of the empire on the first day of Jan
uary, 1898. Saloon keeping as a prl-
yate business will be ALTOGETHER abol-
ished. The French attempt at mon
opoly of wholesale supply has been
based very largely upon considera-
tions of public revenue. 1t does not
appear that the new Russian policy
rests so much upon financial motives
as upon a desire to rid the Russian
people once and for all of the demon
alizing influences of the liquor traffic
as priavtely conducted.

Were Shut Out by the xailenders-
Results of Other Games.

The Mounsaineers won Yesterday
from Norfolk with great deal of ease.
Cheesbro and Pfanmiller were pitted
against each other, and the former had
decidedly the best OF 10 all the way
through, he only allowing seven SCAT
tering hits. and struck out nine men.
Inc support given Cheesbro Was of q
gilt edged nature, with the execution
OF an error by Whitehill on second in
the first inning, which gave the CLANS
two runs.
Ptanmiller was pounded over the field
Tor three two-baggers, two triples, q
home run and seven singles, and the
support given him WAS of very ragged
nature. The two errors made by Wentz
and the one by Whitehill In the first
inning were excussble on account of wet
grounds.
In the fourth inning Williams was hit
In the pit OF the stomach by foul ball
and went to centre field, Sweeney TAX
ing his place behind the bat. The latter
caught clean game. Cockman was in
the game all the time.
For the visitors, Bowerman made q
phenomenal catch of o foul-fly near the
oleachers. He caught clean, steady
game.
The locals went to the bat first and
Cockman raped out the first ball for
two bases; Whitehill sent an easy one
to Vent and he juggled IL. Whitehill
played of from first and in alternating
to catch him Cockmsn crossed th9rub-
Der and the former went to second.
Grove cracked out q two-bagger to
centre field and Whitehill was caught
out at home plate. Tate went out on a
fly to right field; Wrigley sent grounder
to Wentz, who mbled 1t, and Grove
scored. Wrigley crossed the rubber on
Williams single.
In the second and third the locals
were BANKED and in the fourth Will
liams caught the sphere on the end OF
his bat and lifted 1t over the left field
fence for homer"
In the fifth Whitehill singled and
scored on Tate's two-bagger. In the
sixth after two men were out Coous and
Cheesbro both made hits and the former
scored on q wild pitch.
In the seventh, with two men out,
Tate singled and scored on Wrigley's
three-bagger to centre field. William
knocked en- easy one to Langsford; he
fumbled 1t and Wrigley scored.
The last run was added In the ninth.
Groves smashed the ball over the right
fielders head to the fence for three
bases and crossed the rubber. Tate

had an hour OF much excitement, with
q resort to obstructive tactics and sew
eral heated personal controversies ct Q
late hour to-day.
At S o'clock Mr.. Butler Pop, N. co.,
moved to take up his bill prohibiting
the further issue of interest bearing
bonds. Mr.. Hill immediately moved an
adjournment, securing an aye and nay
vote in order to gain time. The motion
10 adjourn WAS defeated, whereupon Mr..
Chandler followed with motion for an
executive session. For an hour roll
calls and calls Of the Senate followed
in quick succession.
AS further means of delay Mr.. Hill
secured the reading of o lengthy con-
ference report, which had been pre-
sentcd, and Mr.. Chandler secured the
reading of several long routine docu-
ments which had been sent over from
the House. Irritated by these delays
Mr.. Allen (Pop.) accused Mr.. Hill Of
lack of good faith, to which the New
York Senator angrily retorted that Mr..
Aliens statement WAS false. The col
lcquy Was brief, but very sharp and
full of feeling.

that he would renew the fight for the
bond prohibition bill Tomorrow.
When Mr.. Butler moved to take up
HIS resolution to prohibit the issue Of
Interest," bearing bonds Mr.. Hill was
quickly on his feet and WAS about to
speak when Mr.. Stewart Pop. Ney.),
objected to any debate.
II ask unanimous oonEent to make @

II object to any debate whatever"
insisted Mr.. Stewart.
Hill, decisively.
The motion was defeated. yeas 10,
nays IS.
Mr.. Chandler moved an executive ses-
sion. and yea and nay vote was
secured. It became evident that
| obstructive tactics would be resorted to
In order to keep the bond prohibition
resolution from being taken up.
Mr.. Allen said he hoped the Senate
would not violate every decency and
propriety by these obstructive tactics.
What right have you to the foor?"
asked Mr.. Hill sharply, addressing Mr..
Allen personally. Then addressing the
chair Mr.. Hill added, HE has no right
to the floor
Eyes, have, too, /" declared Mr.. Allen,
VI have the right to speak and propose
to do so."
"oshers have rights as we'll as you"
responded Mr.. Hill.
Mr.. Allen WAS allowed to proceed and
said this obstruction WAS manifestly
aimed at Populist measure.
II am glad 1t Is admitted TO be q
Populist measure" INTERCEPTED Mr..
Hill.
At this point very heated colloquy
occurred between Mr.. Hill and Mr..
Allen.
The latter had continued to hold the
floor. He spoke with much feeling say
ing he had never known the spirit of
unanimous agreement of the Senate
to be violated and the Senator who COM
mitted such q violation now would re-
greet 1t.
II would like 20 know If the Senator

quickly.
