HIGH LICENSE.

The biennial high license bill will soon
materialize ia the legislature at Mont
pelier and as usual have some advocates.
They will principally come from large
places where open saloons are wanted to
sell liquor by the glass and not be Obliged
to do 1t in hiding. But for town like
Barnard fail to see any argument for
such law, as heretofore has been intro
duced. One great argument used by the
friends of high license is that the present
prohibitory law does not prohibit and III
1t did they would not advocate a change.
This seems very inconsistent, inasmuch
as ut is well understood that In small
towns like Barnard the law is effectual
and the traffic in intoxicating drinks il
stopped, or nearly so.
No man is deprived OF the privilege of
getting all the liquor he needs under the
present law, and at a reasonable cost.
only payinga nominal profit. Towns are
compelled to sell at original cost and ex-
pense of selling. II more than 10 per cent
is taken the profit must be turned over to
the state. What more could be asked ?
Now look at the result of high license
law, taking former bills as guide.
Towns like Barnard would require a liz
cense of at least one hundred dollars and
OF course only one would be granted. A
bond would also be required OF the seller.

First Move in Opposition Made

part of the railroads 10 put an end the to
business of ticket scalping. The inter-

attention to this in its report of 1888, and
it has been before congress ever since in
one form or another. During the last
session extensive hearings were given
both to the representatives of the rail-
roads and the scalpers and Mr.. Sherman
of New York secured ia pledges fol
the measure. 1t was, however, deemed
advisable not to bring the measure for

sons remarkable speech in Paris has
created a sensation here. Most Of the
papers regard it as an unfortunate in.
discretion. The Daily News, which
puts the matter pithily, says:
"Sir Edmund Monson's speech was
either great indiscretion or deliber-
ate move in the diplomatic game. If it
was the former, the situation will be.
come graver. If it was the latter, the
situation is already graver than it
seems"
There is little doubt that the speech
will be deeply resented in France, espe-
cially as it was evidently carefully pre-
pared and was read in the delivery.

TO COMMAND THE CANAL
Great Britain to Convert Kingston Into
Another Gibraltar.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Dec. s.-As a
part of the scheme of converting Kings
ton harbor into a great naval depot and
extensive dockyard in view of the con-
struction of the Nicaragua canal in the
near future, the admiralty authorities
have just completed negotiations for
the purchase of Greek pond at the west
ern extremity of the city where the pro.
posed dockyard will be constructed. 1t
is said that the work will be COM
menced Immediately. The dockyard, it
is said, is to be the largest and best
equipped in the British dominions.
A naval authority who has been in
terviewed on the subject says the inten-
ton is to make Jamaica another Gibral-
tar to command the canal and be a
tallying point for the naval and mill
tary services of the Anglo-American
alliance, when by domination of both

NEWS FULLY CONFIRMED.
American Commission Had Instructions
to Hasten the End.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE advices
from Paris to the effect that it might be
reasonably presumed that the peace
commissioners will be ready to sign a
treaty of peace within day or two is
fully confirmed here. 1t is learned that
the presidents instructions to Judge
Day were to hasten the conclusion, and
to that end the American commiss; ;oners
have been authorized to limit the treaty
closely to protocol points, leaving other
matters, such as the acquisition Of cable
stations and naval stations, to be dealt
with hereafter,

SHOW OF FORCE HINTED AT
Determined Attitude on the
Part of the United States
Is Necessary.
Broadly lntimated That Money
Was Used in Gaining the
Desired End.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-As result of
the meeting of the senate committee on
the Nicaragua canal Senator Morgan
gave notice Of an amendment to the
Nicaragua canal bill authorizing the
immediate issuance, with a guarantee
by this government, of 5000, 600 worth
of bonds for the redemption of all out
standing stock, except that held by the
governments of Nicaragua and Costa
Rica, and the cancellation of all obliga-
tions. He submitted at the same time
a report upon the situation with refer
ence to the canal, dealing exclusively
with the fact that the government of
Nicaragua granted concession to con.
struct canal to another company than
the Maritime Canal company.
Arraigned in Severe Terms.
He deals with this transaction in
severe terms, upholding the rights of
the Maritime company for the present
and for an extension of its concession
for 10 years more. The report arraigns
the conduct of the republic of Nicaragua
as well as that of the American citizens
securing the new concession in most Sc
we're terms, attributing the course Of
Nicaragua to jealousy of Costa Rica
and that of the concessionaires to ''ob-
struct great national policy in selling
out to transcontinental railway com.
pany for the defeat of a supposed COM
petitor.'
'It would be we'll for the reputation
of those concerned in thus dishOnoling
governments for
Their Personal Advantage
and using their powers to create jeal-
ousy between states if it should appear
that their conduct is not also corrupt. "
The committee adduces as justifca-
ton of the new report the seriousness of
the situation, saying on this point:
''The serious consequences likely to
result to the United States from the un-
precedented and unwarranted action of
the late government OF Nicaragua, and
the evident purpose to force our govern
ment into the payment of large sum
as compensation for the future consent
of the Republic of Central America
to the
Completion of Maritime Canal
through the San Juan river and Lake
Nicaragua, compels the committee to
present the grounds ON which it insists
that this proceeding is without any sup
port in law, justice or equity, and that
it violates the hitherto cordial relations
of the United States with Nicaragua"
Dwelling upon Nicaragua's course in
the matter, the committee says:
"How this unexampled condition is to
be dealt with, otherwise than by an ex-
press and determined attitude upon the
part of the United States, is question
of serious embodiment in the near
future"

Indians I'm Danger of Starving.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Representative
Morris has received a letter stating that
the Indians on the Grand Portage reser-
walton are in danger of starving this
winter if some relief is not afforded by
the Indian Office. He called on Indian
Commissioner Jones and laid the matter
before him. The commissioner said he
would have an investigation made and
would do what he could for the Indians.

SOME POINTS NOT SETTLED
Will Be Taken Up Later on
When Peaceful Relations
Are Resumed.
Spanish Soldiers in the Philip
pines Go Home at Amer
iCa'S Expense.

PARIS, Dec. THE peace of Paris is
practically an accomplished fact. The
days session disposed of the essential
features of the treaty which will be en-
bodied in the following eight articles:
First-The customary preface of
treaties, in the nature of an expression
of amity and of hope for perpetual peace.
Second-The REIMBURSEMENT by Spain
of her sovereignty over Cuba.
Third The withdrawal of the Span
ish troops.
Fourth-The REIMBURSEMENT by Spain
of her sovereignty over Porto Rico.
Fifth-Spain's cession of the Philip
pines.
Sixth The withdrawal of the Spanish
troops there.
acknowledgement by the United
States of $50, 600, 900 for the Philippines.
Eighth-The provision for the "open
door commercial policy in the Philip
pines.
An Interesting Document.
The rough draft of the treaty, which
may be considerably changed, covers
the proposals. 1t makes long docu-
ment, which Senator Cushman K. Davis
of the United States peace commission
says will be found to be one of the most
interesting papers of its character ever
written. So completely are the details
of the evacuation of the Philippines stip-
ulated that commission, such as ar
ranged for the Spanish withdrawal from
the West Indies, will be unnecessary.
Among the questions not yet settled,
however, are the coaling station and re-
ligious freedom in the Carolines, the
Spanish commission not having replied
to the American offer.
The Americans have agreed to trans
port the Spanish prisoners home, in
Guiding the garrison and sailors at Ma
nila captured by Admiral Dewey and
General Merritt as we'll as the soldiers
and civilians held by the Filipinos,
whose return the Americans have guar
anteed. AS compensation Spain promises
to iberate all Cuban, Porto Rican and
Philippine political prisoners.
Cheaper Than Feeding Them.
spanish soldiers electlng to remain in
the colonies may do so, but it is more
matter of economy for the Americans to
return the others as they must be fed as
long as they are kept and Spain is un-
able to bear the expense of the repatria-
tion. Also the Americans have rejected
Spain's request for free shipping for 10
years in Cuban and Porto Rican waters,
they having given the Spanish commits
sioners such poor consolation as the lat
ter may derive from the permission to
re-apply when the diplomatic relations
have been renewed for shipping conces-
sions under the reciprocity scheme of
the Dingley law, for which Senior Du-
puy de LONE was negotiating in WASH
ington when the war broke out. There
are still under discussion eight Sec
ondary subjects which the Spanish COM
missioners broached last week, includ-
ing the status of patents and copyrights.
The American commissioners have
handed to Senior Montero Rios written
reply covering these questions.

sent abroad. 1t has not been without
much reflection and anxiety that | de-
cided to depart on this occasion from
the traditional limits by which diplo-
matist is hampered."
Sir Edmund then proceeded to dilate
on the recent remarkable Outburst of
public feeling in Great Britain pro-
voked by the Fashoda incident, and
said he ventured to express the hope
that the idea that Great Britain need
only be squeezed to make graceful but
impolitic concession, is exploded.
France Combative Element.
After referring to the mischief often
wrought Dy reckless journalism, which
is too apt to forget it can never be so
lister, Sir Edmund eulogistically referred
to the Paris exposition of 1900, which he
described as "One Of the most significant
factors in restraining the cOmbative
elements now menacing the peace of
the earth"
He appealed to France to disabuse
herself of all suspicion of unfair inten-
upOll JliC pdl VI SISdb DAitd1ly
to try to believe there was no general
animosity in England toward France,
and to meet England on every question
at issue with an honest desire for an
equitable arrangement. He concluded
as follows:
Sounds Little Threatening.
II would earnestly ask officials in
power and unofficial opponents of public
opinion to discountenance and abstain
from a continuance of the policy of pin
pricks, which, while it can only procure
an ephemereal satisfaction to a short
lived ministry, must inevitably perpetu-
ate across the channel an inAolerable
irritation.
Il would entreat them to resist the
temptation to thwart British enterprise
by petty maneuvers, such as the pro-
posal to start colleges as rivals of Gen.
eral Kitchener's projected institution in
the reconquered Soudan. Such i'll
considered provocation might have the
effect of converting Great Britain's pol.
icy of forbearance in Egypt into the
adoption of measures at which I pre-.
sumo French sentiment is not aiming"
