one of the men who sells whisky under
the guise OF running "A drug store in Paw
tucket is ANXIOUS to secure man TO lay

liquor seller. He is willing to pay the
sum OF s. for such service, and stand
all the expenses should the man be ar

The quasi-druggists and proprietors Of
kitchen barrooms are extremely angered
that the press should dare TO show the
public the way business is conducted on
Sundays, and even on other days Of the
week.
The druggists pay s. year for their
license fee, and thus they arc able to sell
whisky for 365 days in the year. The
names OF some OF tho proprietors who sell
whisky by the glass have already been
published but there are several others.
Any person who wishes to learn in
which drug store whisky Is sold on Sun
days, need only pass along some of the
streets Of Pawtucket, and he will observe
men who are frequent barroom customers
gathered about in most OF the drug stores.
Soda would be nauseous to their stom-
achs.
On the other hand the regular licensed
liquor dealers are Kicking because the
druggists are allowed so much latitude.
The saloon keepers have to pay license
of $780, and are Obliged &c close their
places OIL Sundays which is the best time
of the week.
Many of the licensed dealers have ex-
pressed their satisfaction that tho non
enforcement of the law has been shown
up but as they fear some of the author
tiles, they dare not express thoir views

Women call there alone frequently, and
on the night in question. although the
time for closing had passed, the men and
women were very lively. so much so that
they attracted the attention of tho officer.
The officer notified the man In charge
to close up his place. The reporter could
not learn whether or not the affair had
been reported to the chief of police.

No Purpose to Infringe on
Her Rights.
Annexation of Hawaii Not an
Injury to Her.
Her Commercial Position Would
Not Be at All Impaired.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 6.-Formal re-
ply TO Japans second protest, made three
weeks ago, against the annexation of the
Hawaiian islands, will soon be presented
to the japanese minister here for trans
mission TO his government
1t will DO a firm disavowal of any pur-
pose on the part Of this government 10
infringe the rights OF other countries now
covered by treaties, and will contend that
no possible injury will follow to Japan's
present interests in the islands from an
nexation. 1t will show that while Japan S
commercial interests in Hawaii are now
large they need not be infringed or
lessened when the islands become part
OF the United States through ratification
OF tho present treaty.
The fact that there are two Japanese
warships completely within the power OF
tho United States will undoubtedly cause
the copduerer OF China to hesitate long
and deliberately before she makes any
hostile demonstration against the United
States saws the star. even IL the annexa-
tion of Hawaii should cause her to con-
slider such q serious step
The ships In question are now being
built in American yaIds-one by the
Cramps at Philadelphia and the other by
the Union Iron Works at San FranciscO,
and when finished they will prove power
full additions to the offensive and defen-
sive strength Of the empire Of the rising
sun. AT the first overt act on the part of
Japan, Uncle Sam would promptly seize
these vessels and complete them as
rapidly as possible for use against the
government for which they are being con-
structed.
They are ships Of the highest modern
type, and would prove rich prizes for Uncle
sam in the event of trouble with Japan.

Mex can Business Circles.

CITY OF Mexico. Aug. 6-The drop In
vilver yesterday sent exchange on New
York TO its highest point, 1872, after bank

thing like permanency in exchange. The
government Is making NIL its estimates
based on even lower prices for silver.
The leading bankers are not dismayed
and continue to predict reaction, III
though not until lower prices have been
reached. There ~ undoubtedly much ap-
prehensive feeling. especially as TO the
-apidity with which exchange has risen.
Native manufacturers are in solne cases
raising prices on account of having TO
buy foreign raw material There Is no
panic in business circles. but rather feel
ing of amazement and wonder as regards
the final result and what changes Will TO
effected by this disturbance OF calcuia-

Three Friends Case Set for Hear
ing on the Third Monday
in February.

WASHINGTON, Feb. AIN the United
States supreme court the Ohio tax cases
were decided in favor of the state. The
opinion was delivered by Chief Justice
Fuller, on behalf Of the majority of the
court. Justices Field, Harlan, BroV~
and White dissented.
There were ten of these cases brought
by the officers of the Adams, American
and United States Express companies.
They were suits in equity to enjoin
the payment and collection of taxes
under the acts Of the general assembly
Of the State Of Ohio, passed April 81,
1898, and May 10, 1894, for the taxation
Of y express, telegraph and telephone
companies, on the ground that
the acts were in contraven.
ton of the constitutions of the
state Of Ohio and of the United States.
The cases cover the assessments made
against the Adams Express company
for the years 1898, 1894 and 1896, and
the assessments against tho United
States Express company and the Amer.
ican Express company, for the years
1894 and 1895. The assessments for
these two companies for 1893 are also
involved in the decisions of the cases.
The cases were appealed iy the express
companies from the decision of the cir
cult court for the Southern district of
Ohio, which was favorable to the state.
The court also decided the tax case of
the Eastern Union Telegraph company
against the state of Indiana, involving
similar questions to those settled in the
Ohio cases. The state won in this case
also.
