LICENSE OR NO-LICENSE.
Although town meeting is three
months away, the question of whether
the town will remain in the no-lcense
column for another year, or go back to
license, is being agitated. The occur
rences of last week in Brookfeld have
caused many who have been conserva-
tive in their opinions heretofore regard
ing no-license, to say that there has
been as much liquor sold this year as
in a license year, and argue that. under
the circumstances, it would be better
to have a license town and make all
parties live up to the letter of the
law. The pronounced temperance peo-
pie, however, deny this, and say that no
doubt there is much liquor sold, yet the
people are saved from the brilliantly
lighted open saloon, and frofl the sight
Of teams laden with beer bottles and
whiskey jugs driving through the
streets at all hours Of the day and
night and that, under no-license, a
wholesale traffic cannot be INDUCED in.
They also advocate the election of a
board of selectmen and a police force
who will do their duty fearlessly, as they
believe there are men to be found who
are thoroughly competent to fill any
town office, who are conscientious
enough to do their duty without fear
or favor, and say that no man should
be nominated for selectman or consta-
bic without first pledging himself to
enforce the liquor law and to follow up
relentlessly all parties engaged in the
Illegal traffic They quote the fact
that while large sum of money was
appropriated last spring to prosecute
and. put an end to Illegal rum-selling,
and that many so-called raids had been
made by the police on places where it
it was well known an extensive liquor
traffic was going on, yet the police failed
to make a single conviction, although
a large amount of the appropriation had
been used. For several months no
pretense has been made to stop the
traffic, although the police authorities
were well aware that It was and is be-
ing extensively carried on
The action Of the board Of selectmen
in the manner Of their appointments Of
special police is also severely comment

ELECTRIC CARS WILL RUN TODAY
Horses TO BE Rested q the Capital
Traction Line

The Capital Traction Company expects
TO have electric cars running on
Pennsylvania Avenue from the Treasury
Building to the Peace Monument today
A car. in charge of Assistant Superin-
tendent Hanna, will make the trial trip at
an early hour, and if the new cars run
smoothly they will be operated regularly.
The cars TO be run belong 10 the Four
teenth Street section, which, until today
have only been operated by electricity
from the northern terminus at Mount
Pleasant TO the corner of Fifteenth Street
and New York Avenue. The passengers
were transferred at that point to the
horse cars running east and west.
The Potomac Electric Power Company,
Of Georgetown, which now furnishes pow
er for the Fourteenth Street cars, will
furnish additional power for the opera
ton Of the Peace Monument section Of
the road. Copper cables to convey the
power were placed in the conduits on the
Avenue several nights ago.
A large number OF laborers worked last
night sweeping the tracks on the Avenue
so that the new cars will have every ia
cility for running smoothly.
Horse cars will run as usual between
Georgetown and the Navy Yard Trans
fers may be made with the electric cars
at the Peace Monument and at Fifteenth
Street and New York Avenue 1t is not
believed that any other portion of the
lines of the Traction Company can be
operated before the 1st of April, when
the new powerhouse win probably be COM
pleted in Georgetown.
Work has been commenced on the re-
equipping of the Seventh Street line,
which will be changed from a cable TO an
underground electric system 1t was at
first thought that the cable would have
to be stopped and the cars operated by
horses while the change was being made.
Contractor SaXton assured the Traction
Company engineers that he could make
the change while the cable was running
The necessary permission was granted
and he now has force of laborers on the
work at the southern terminus of the
road. While these workmen are busily
employed digging the trenches other men
are busily engaged shoveling the dirt off
Of the tracks so that the cable cars may
be operated as usual. Contractor SaXton
will have his men put the electrical equip
ment in the conduit after midnight, when
the cable cars are stopped.

POISONING OF ANNA BEAN.
Suspected That Milk May Have
Been TamTered With.

Inspector Mattingly has assigned De-
tective Lacey to investigate the fatal
poisoning of Anna Bean. the aged col
ored woman, who died at her home.
No. 422 Fifth Street southeast, on We'd
nesday afternoon. 1t has been learned
that the milk, which is now being an
alyzed by District Chemist Hird, was
purchased by Miss Bean on Tuesday.
A few minutes after its purchase she
drank a quantity of the fluid without
evil effect. The milk was then placed
in refrigerator in the back yard ana
remained there until night When the
family partook of 1t again on the fol-
lowing morning they were all made

of Harriet and Peter Ferguson, but
Anna Bean died in commissions
One of the theories of the case is that
if poison was placed in the milk il was
while the fluid was in the outside re-
frigerator. Detective Lacey has also
submitted to Chemist Hird samples OF
the coffee used by the family Wednes-
day morning. He says the family have
no enemies that they know Of.

THE MARKET DEPRESSED
Speculations Continue to Reflect
Prevailing Ideas.
The Excess of Country's Exports
Throws Additional Light on
Present Gold Import
Movement.

New York. March 11.-Apart from the
Cuban situation todays developments
comprised additional engagements of gold
for import, the generally satisfactory
statements of earnings made by number
of roads, and the Treasury's compilation
of the figures of the country's exports
of domestic products for February The
latter showed an Increase of 81, 761, 900
over the same month last year, while the
excess over 1897 for the eight
months of the current fiscal year amounts
to Sc, $40, COO These figures throw some
light on the present gold import move
ment, and especially when they are con-
sidered in connection with yesterdays
purchases of stocks for foreign account.
The local money market again showed
the desire of lenders to keep their money
within easy reach, the supply of money
on call being ample, while in the time
loan division the conditions were some
what stringent.
The speculation in stocks, however, con-
tinued to reflect only the prevailing ideas
respecting the issue of the Cuban situa-
ton.
The belief that the President would
make important and perhaps decisive
communications to Congress in this re-
gard next week restricted outside inter-
est and allowed the room traders and the
larger bear operators free swing in their
efforts to depress the market. There
were few developments affecting particu-
lar stocks. The most important was the
revision by the appellate division of the
supreme court in its decision requiring
a continuing bond of $15, 0G0, 900 during the
period of construction of the underground
road for New York, Manhattan, Metro
politan Street Railway and Third Avenue
all declined. though hardly relatively
more than the general market. The trad
ing was heaviest in Sugar the grangers
New York Central and Union Pacific. In
the last hour there were many recoyeries
from the lowest level of the day The
closing, however, was about the lowest of
the day.

Reply to Mr.. wanamaker.

Mr. Heath. First Assistant Postmaster
General, has written letter to Mr.. John
Wanamaker. ex-Postmaster General, in
reply 10 a communication from him with
reference to the handling of Sunday
mails. Mr.. Heath, in outlining the policy
Of the Department says that no general
rule can be adopted to apply TO all post
offices. In some cases il would prove in
convenient, Mr.. Heath thinks, to deprive
the postal service of any Sunday labor in
postofiices. or TO discontinue Sunday mail
services on the trains. Mr.. Heath favors
the closing Of postofiices on Sunday, when
il Is shown that the public convenience
does not require them TO be open.

Bradstreet,s tomorrow viii SAY:

Continued activity in nearly all lines Of
distributive trade, but more particularly
at the larger cities of the West, South
and the far Northwest, continues to be
the most favorable feature coming under
notice.
That the demand for dry goods, gro
ceries, hardware, iron and steel and it's
various forms and building material IS
relatively most active at the West and
disappointment in reports from leading
Eastern markets, where business is
ported moving less rapidly than at the
interior.
Other favorable features include the
heavier foreign demand for wheat and
lour, as indicated by increased exports
over last week and last year and bank
clearings heavily exceeding correspond
ing periods of previous years. though
smaller than in recent weeks. Less
favorable features are few. numbering
chiefly weaker tone in prices of few
staples hitherto marked by extreme firm
ness, but chiefly perceptible in quotations
for some makes of coarse cotton goods,
print clothes and raw wool.
