Defined by Congress.

Those words are defined by Congress in
the first section of said act. and the court
is bound by, that definition. The definition
says that the words shall include certain
enumerated liquors, and all other fer
mented and distilled liquors. The liquors
mentioned in the definition by name are
whisky, brandy, rum, gin, wine, ale, por-
ter and beer These are the articles named
in the act and distinguished those to be
included in the words Intoxicating liquors,
which are followed by the general words,
And all other, fermented and distilled
liquors.
The liquors mentioned In the definition
by name are such are generally used as
beverage by persons who use intoxicat-
ing liquors. 1t is cardinal rule in the
&C construction of statutes that when there
Is an enumeration of certain things or arti-
Giles, followed by general words, the latter
cannot be extended to include articles of
any other class than that to which the
enumerated articles belong. That rule re-
quires the meaning of the general words,
Ali other fermented and distilled liquors
shall be confined to those generally used as
a beverage.

ALCOHOL NOT A BEVERAGE
Decision Rendered by Judge Scott in Case
Brought to Test Law.
Druggists Held Not to Have Violated
the Statute by Sale-Text
of Opinion.

Judge c. F. Scott Of the Police Court rem
dered his decision this morning in the case
Of Druggists Hutton & Hilton, against
whom tho police recently preferred a
charge Of selling alcohol in violation of
law. The case was brought In order to
test the law, and resulted from complaints
against the Sunday sales of alcohol. An
investigation OF Sunday drunkenness in
one Of the big alleys proved that the COLOR
ed residents there had bought alcohol and
manufactured beverage by diluting 1t and
adding lemon juice and sugar.
Judge Scott held that the law had not
been violated. In disposing of the case he
said:
THE Information against the defendants
ABOVE named sets forth that on I'D street
northwest, in said District, they were then
and there druggists. and such did then
and there sell certain intoxicating liquors
w1thou; the written prescription of a rep
utaDle physician, contrary to and in vio-
lation of the act of Congress regulating the
sale of Intoxicating liquors. approved
March 3, 1893.
Admission by Defendants.
THE defendants admit that they sold one
pint of alcohol but claim that such sale
is not a violation of section IL of said act
CT Congress of March B. 1898, which sec
ton reads follows: That druggists and
arothecaries shall not be required to obtain
license under the provisions of this act,
but they shall not sell Intoxicating liquors,
nor compound nor mix any composition
thereof, except upon the written prescrip-
ton of reputable physician. nor more
than once on any one prescription of the
physician; and every druggist or apothe
cary shall keep a book for the special pur-
pcse and enter therein the date of every
sale Of intoxicating liquors made by. him.
the person to whom sold, the kind, guam
tty and price thereof, and the purpose for
which it was sold, and such book shall De
kept at all times open to the said board
or of any person designated and author
lied by them to make such inspection, and
shall be produced before such board when
required, and any failure to comply with
the provisions of this section shall render
such druggist or apothecary failing liza
BILE to the same penalties as If he had sold
intoxicating liquors without license.
THE question that arises in this case is
whether the words Intoxicating liquors,
as used in the eleventh section of the act,
includes alcohol.

SHERMAN ON ANNEXATION:

TACOMA (Wash.), June 13-Ex-
Secretary of State John Sherman, &C
companied by his wife, arrived here
today unannounced and travelling in
modest style The elderly couple are
travelling without company, and, after
a rest of a few days, will make the
voyage to Alaska, returning after a
brief stay there.
Reference to the Asiatic fleet and
Dewey's victory brought from the ex-
Secretary the rather forceful COM
ment: ct is unfortunate that we are
i'm our present position IN the Philip
pines. This is not a war of conquest
on our part, and the occupancy ana
possession of these Islands is in con-
fiict with the entire theory and po1cy
of our Government. The very declara-
ton of war stipulated that our policy
was not one of the acquisition OF new
territory"
Explaining his ideas at length, he
incidentally referred to the Hawaiian
! Islands also, and took pains to talk
plainly against the annexation policy

Pacific iustrfies a move in ARRANGING

WAR NOTES.

The substance of the war news from
the Atlantic operations is, that Ad-
miral Sampson has occupied Guam
tanamo, a place forty miles east OF
Santiago, with a force of marines, as
the base of military movements. Inc
bay is an excellent one in which yes
sells can coal and obtain supplies, ana
in which they can take refuge in case
of injuries, or should they need re-
pairs. At this point the French cable
lands, and as it is now in the posses
sion of the American forces, communl-
cation with Washington can be car
ried on at all times. The advantage
of this cable communication is enor-
NOUS and to secure it was no doubt
one of the objects of the occupation
At the present moment, large reeh-
forcements from Key West have pro
badly landed, and taken possession OF
the ground held by the small forces OF
marines from the warships.
The treatment of the marines killed
or wounded by the Spaniards in the
action with the marines, will give a
new phase to the war. If it is true,
as stated, that the killed were mutilat-
ed by the Spanish forces, it will arouse
a sense Of Indignation among the
American people that will demand
from Spain only the most definite and
exacting terms. No excuse can be,
or will be, accepted for mutilating the
dead. The United States will settle
forever the power of any nation to
carry on barbaric warfare. No single
act will consolidate sentiment in the
States, or fire the hearts of the people
more than savagery to a wounded or
killed enemy.
Tt is evident also, that the Spanish
Government are frantic for peace, and
il may be declared at any moment.
If made now, Cuba will be lost, but
the Philippines may be retained under
some conditions which will benefit the
inhabitants of those Islands. Spain
may retain them. if she acts at once

THE PACIFIC
ANNEXATION AT HAND.

For the first time in the history of
the annexation movement it may be
safely said that it is out of the woods.
What reasoning, and good advice, and
statesmanlike views could not do, will
be done by an object lesson. History
viii repeat itself.
In debating upon the resolution
which he had introduced into the
House of Representative for the an
nexation of Hawaii, Mr.. Newlands
stated forcibly that he was opposed
to territorial expansion, hut he looked
upon the acquisition of Hawaii as a
matter Of great commercial and strate-
gic Importance to the United States.
The overwhelming majority in
favor of the joint resolution for an
nexation, indicates the force of the
object lesson Even Speaker Reed
with his strong influence finally became
only a bull before cannon ball"
train, and he has yielded.
The members of the Senate, who
have opposed the treaty are under
the same compelling influences as the
members Of the House. They are not
above the object lessons, nor can they
withstand the pressure of events, the
liberal use of these Islands by the
American forces, as a purely strategic
measure.
There will be a debate in the Senate
over the measure, but it will not be
long. The opponents of the treaty
like old veterans in the battlefield, viii
feel defeat, without coming under fire
and will act accordingly, and retire
Nothing now but miracle will hell
them out. Taking all things into con
sideration the joint resolution of an
nexation should be passed within tel
days from the day it was received b!
the Senate.

VIM. ]. Bryan made a speech in
Omaha on the 14th of this month. in
which he said that Dewey's guns had
destroyed the feet at Manila, but they
cannot destroy that self evident truth
that Governments derive their just
powers, not from superior forces, but
from the consent of the governed"
He warns the people against dreams
of the splendor of aggrandizement."
But whether the United States do
or do not retain the Philippines, it is
very probable that the government of
those islands will be reconstructed if
the Spanish retain them. The trou-
bIesome question is, have the United
States the right to turn back an acre
of land, under any circumstances, to
nation that has never exhibited the
slightest sense of justice in dealing
with weaker races.

On the legal adoption of the reso-

the Legislature of Hawaii must act, in
order to make annexation complete
This will require only the action of
our Senate, unless it shall appear that
certain laws should be passed, in order
to give effect to the new conditions of
affairs.
We must take ''mournful pleasure"
in the wickedness of Spain, for she
has fastened annexation. We are in
the position of the young man who
received with "mournful pleasure"
the news that his rich uncle was dying
from delirium tremens, and on his
death would become his heir and

sense in making any change in the
law as it formerly stood upon the stat

cheap official talent. The reduction
of fees has the effect, however, of re-
