ST. ALBANS LIQUOR WAR.
Saloons Raided on Petition of Citizens
Hotels to Close saturday.

Saloons Raided on Petition of Citizens
Hotels to Close Saturday.
Dispatches from st. Adams indicate a
pretty state of affairs for a community
assuming to be law-abiding. The agita
ton for the enforcement of the prohibit
tory liquor law in that city started over
two weeks ago when some of the local
clergy and a few leading temperance
workers took up the matter of the illegal
selling of liquor, and circulated petition
which was signed by several hundred
citizens, calling for more stringent en-
forcement of the law as well as against
other nuisances.
In view of this the hotel keepers held a
meeting and decided to close the hotels
in case such action was taken. The hotel
keepers and liquor dealers also closed up
their accounts with the merchants who
signed the petition.
Last Saturday evening hotel keepers,
restaurant keepers and liquor dealers
who had a cent in the banks withdrew
their entire deposits from those banks.
j. j. Thompson and Owen Marion, re-
presenting the liquor interests, went to
the home of States Attorney McFeeters
on Saturday to confer with him in regard
to the matter. He could give them no
advice and they came to no understand
ing. Mr.. EcFeeters said that holding the
state office which he did, if he should re-
ceive petition in regard to the enforce
ment of the liquor law in st. Adams,
signed by the citizens of that city, he
should execute the law and close every
bar in the city; and the two representa-
tives, Mr.. Thompson and Mr.. Marion,
with other hotel keepers, and restaurant
keepers, maintained that If such an en-
forcement was made they would close
their establishments Immediately.
The expected liquor raids were made
on Monday of this week. In the morning
visits were made to the American House,
Grand Central, Park View, st. Adams,
Elm Tree and Exchange hotels. The
Park cafe, Sullivan's saloon and James
Sheeheys place. Liquor was found in
all these places except the Elm Tree
House and James Sheehey's.
The hearings were held in the after
noon before Justices Wheeler and
Montefiore, and each offender was fined
$50 and costs, which they paid.
AT a meeting held by the hotel and
restaurant keepers Tuesday morning it
was decided that they should close all
their establishments at midnight Satur-
day, and the bOarders in these places
were notified to seek new quarters before
that time.
c. w. Reagan, proprietor of the Elm
Tree House, and j. j. Thompson, pro-
prietor of the American House, say they
will leave town just as soon as they dis
pose of their property. Mr.. Reagan said
that if he could not get rid of his prop
erty any other way he would sell it at
auction,

News For Fashionable Folk.
Messrs. II. w. Allen d Co. Making Elab-
crate Preparations For Fall Trade.
From Burlington Free Press

The Messrs. II. w. Allen & Company
are making elaborate preparations for a
successful fall season in their custom
dressmaking and ladies' tailoring depart
ment. This progressive, enterprising
house, always abreast of the times and
fully up-tO-date in its methods, are
aware that made up, ready to wear gar
ments and gowns of every description
are increasing in favor among the ladies
to such an extent as to make it neces-
saTy to be in readiness to make and fur
nish fashionable gowns, costumes and
garments of every description.
To meet the demands and requirements
of the times they have secured the SER
vices of thoroughly competent people to
manage and carry into effect their ideas
of first class dressmaking and ladies'
tailoring. In this department the firm
will maintain the highest standard of
excellence in style and finish fully equal
and in keeping with the high order of
merchandise always carried by them.
The department will be reorganized
under new management and conducted
upon business principles calculated to
produce results that will meet the ap-
prOval of the most critical. The ladies'
tailoring branch of the business will be
under the supervision of a competent
man whose long experience in Paris and
New York city will enable him to exc
cute the finest of tailor finished work.
The firm are thus prepared to overcome
every obstacle in fitting. When unable
to secure ready-made garments or suits
of any desired style in required size the
| tailor is ready to make the same from
selected materials In manner thorough
ly first class In every particular. A
member of the firm and managers of the
cloak, suit and dressmaking departments
are now in the New York market en-
gagged in an exhaustive search for the
latest and best styles to be adopted for
the coming season. The ideas thus OBJ
tained will be embodied in their creations
and the fashionable gowns and costumes
designed and executed by them and their
special corps of competent assistants
will bear the marks of true elegance
and style In finish. Many models will
be secured for exhibition purposes and
can be duplicated or changed to please
the taste of the intending purchaser.
These are expected to be ready for in
spection some time early in September.
Many radical changes are already
plainly indicated In the forthcoming
styles, and these will be shown in de-
tail by means of models and fashion
plates in the opening exhibit. No
efforts will be spared by Messrs. II. w.
Allen & Co. to make their initial dis
play of fall STYLES in this department an
occasion of more than ordinary interest.

TEMPERANCE LAWS.

The excellent letter of Mr.. n. b.
Douglas of Fall River, Mass, show
ing the unmitigated evils necessarily
connected with any license system,
published in last weeks REGISTER, Is
timely, and will be appreciated by near
ly, if not all, of our readers. But whilst
Vermont is unquestionably opposed to
any license system, and, as we believe
under no circumstances will have one,
we all recognize the very unsatisfactory
results obtained from four present pro-
hibitory law and feel that something
should be done to avoid or correct
them.
This feeling exists among the temper
ance people of the state, who include,
probably, at least nine-tenths of the
whole. So far as we know, the only other
line of legislation than prohibitory, regu-
lating the sale of liquors, which appeals
to good sense and right feeling, is that
known as the Sweden and Norway
system, now in vogue in one or more
American states, notably South Carolina.
That system has worked admirably in
the latter state. as, indeed, it has else
where when tried, so far as we can
learn. In many respects it resembles
our prohbitory law, but in its practical
workings is far more satisfactory and
efficient.
In the course of recent CORES .
pondence with Senator Tillman of South
Carolina concerning the South Caro-
lima dispensary law, that gentleman
wrote us that If the citizens of Vermont
wished he would try and arrange to
give two or three addresses In the state
upon the subject of this law. Mentioning
the matter to quite number of our
citizens, including Ex-Governor Stew
art, Ex-Governor Woodbury., Gen. Nc
Cullough and Others equally we'll known,
they expressed the unanimous opinion
that our Vermont people would unques-
tionably be pleased to hear Senator Till
man upon this subject.
And it was suggested that, If it could
be arranged, it would be we'll to have
Mr.. Tillman give the first address at
Montpelier, after the opening of the
legislative session. We hope that this
may be arranged, and that Mr.. Tillman
will also be able to speak in one OF two
more of our larger towns, such as Bur
lingtOn and Rutland.

COL. ROOSEVELT NOMINATED.

After an exciting preliminary cam
paign, in which decidedly underhanded
methods were resorted to, Theodore
Roosevelt, late colonel of the trough
riders" of San Juan memory, was tri-
umphantly nominated for the governor
ship of New York on Tuesday at Sara
toga. He received 1853 votes to Governor
Blacks 2lS. A persistent effort was
made by Col. Roosevelt's enemies to
prove that he had sworn he was no
longer a legal resident of New York.
Their claim rested on quibbling with the
word residence, Roosevelt having
made sworn declarations in several
documents that he was at the time re-
siding in Washington, that city being
in fact his then local habltation-not his
legal residence. This latter fact was
established to the satisfaction of all at the
convention by the eminent jurist, Elihu
Root, and Col. Roosevelt's nomination
was made unanimous by the Black sup
porters.
The rough rider colonel is nominally
the candidate of the Plat machine, but
if he Is correctly quoted he has said with
characteristic emphasis that he would
like to see Plat try to boss him. The
fact is that Platt grabbed at Roosevelt
as drowning man grabs at life-pre-
server. The boss has seen his power
slowly slipping from his grasp and had
sufficient astuteness to perceive ROOse-
velts strength in time to get into line and
support him. The extent to which the
Plat machine is responsible for ROose.
velt's nomination is illustrated by the
fable of the fly and the darky's mule.
The fly had allghted on the mules heel
just as that animal was lifting his owner
into the next county. After the opera
ton was completed, the fly shouted to a
passing comrade, Say Did you see US
kick him?"

LIGHT ON THE CHINESE PUZZLE.

The ups and downs of politics In
China are enough to turn gray the hair
on the head of the student of current
affairs who tries to keep posted on the
status in the Flowery Kingdom. Just
as everyone was felicitating himself on
the enlightened stand taken by the
young emperor in his edicts granting
great liberties to his people, along comes
the announcement that he has resigned
the throne and the dowager empress
takes his place and restores the old
regime.
The causes leading up these compli-
cations are set forth by a Washington
correspondent. The prevailing opinion
among diplomatists in Washington is
and Col. DENLY, recently our minister
at Pekin, agreed with them-that the
trouble grew out of the rivalry between
Russia and Great Britain over railway
concessions. Both governments have
very ardent partisans in the imperial
palace, who have been engaged in a
desperate struggle for control.
The tsung Ii yamen granted conces-
sion to the Hongkong and Shanghai

bank, British corporation with capt.
tai of Sl0,000,000 and surplus of S.
O0O, 900, to extend the existing railway
between Tien Tsin and Shankaikuan,
where the coal mines belonging to Ii
Hung Chang are, to New Chang, a
treaty port on the northeast coast of the
gulf of Pechili, which now has trade
of $l5,00O,OO0 or more with Great
Britain. The Russian railway now be-
ing built from Port Arthur northward
to connect with the great Siberian trans
continental road leaves New Chang out
In the cold and would cause diversion
of great part of the commerce to Port
Arthur, which is to be Russian strong
hold.
This, of course, would be greatly to
the disadvantage of Great Britain and
ruin several English commercial houses
which now control the business at New
Chang. The Hongkong and Shanghai
bank obtained the sum of Sl6,000,00O
for the construction of the road from
British capitalists and was ready to be-
gin work when NJ. Pavlofl, the Russian
minister at Pekin, entered protest by
order of his government on the theory
that it was in violation of a treaty be-
tween Russia and China which gives the
former the control of the northern
provinces of the great empire. Through
the influence of Ii Hung Chang the
concession was cancelled, giving the
Russians an opportunity to build the
road.
The British minister, Sir Claude Nc.
Donald, entered an earnest protest and
secured the dismissal of Ii Hung Chang
from office on the ground of "offenslve
partisanship." He declared openly that
Earl Ii was in the pay of the Russian
government He also protested against
the granting of concession to Belgian
syndicate for the construction of road
from Tlen Tsin southwark to Hankow
on the ground that it was invasion of
the British "sphere of influence" which
comprises the valley of the Yangtse
river in central China. Although
granted to Belgian syndicate this is
really Russian and French enterprise.
The money is furnished by the Russo
Chinese bank at Pekln.
In these struggles and intrigues Ii
Hung Chang has used his influence for the
benefit of Russia. The coup d'etat looks
very much like a Russian triumph, with
Ii Hung Chang in power, backed by the
supreme authority of the empress
dowager. This view Of the situation
seems to be confirmed by the move
mouth of the Peho river, the nearest
port to Pekin.

THE OCTOBER MAGAZINES.

Few readers of magazines or newspapers
have other than vague idea of the dincul.
ties and hardships endured by the men who
write the accounts of the doings of the army
and navy. Mr. John Il. Spears, author Of A
History of the Navy, and Il famous newspaper
C respondent, gives some of his own and
others experiences in "Afloat for News in
War Times" in the October Sc ribner's.
In "Our Navy in Asiatic Waters" in the
October Harpers', william Elliot Grini5
gives a rapid sketch of various engagements
in the waters of China, Japan, and Corea.
Our interests in the Pacific have expanded so
suddenly that there is danger of forgetting
how ancient and continuous has been the
influence of our navy in Asiatic waters; ana
in the celebration of our naval victories It is
interesting to recall the heroes of the past.
There are number of notable contributions

THAT WAR BOND FRAUD.

The latest phase of the attempted
fraud on the government in the matter
of war bonds is no less interesting than
the earlier developments. Ex-Secretary
of the Treasury Carlisle was retained by
New York spectators to 90 to Wash
ington and seek to compel the govern
ment to deliver the bonds on the fraudu-
lent orders. 1t is reported that Secre-
tary Gage very neatly met this move by
offering to comply with the desires of
the spectators if his predecessor in
Office would. over his own signature,
recommend the issue of the bonds to
fictitious persons and those whose bids
were fraudulent. Mr.. Carlisle asked to
be excused.
More than 5000 Of the letters men
toned last week were sent to the adj
dresses given on bond orders in registered
letters which required the addressee to
appear in person or by written order to
claim the letter. Only about 300 genuine
replies were received, and more than
! 900 of the letters were returned
stamped mo such person known at adj
dress given" The figures indicate the
extent of the attempted fraud, and it
sincerely is to be hoped that the guilty
parties will be brought to book.

The French cabinet has at last de-
cided to do Justice. 1t has determined
to recommend revision of the Dreyfus
trial. The matter may hang fire, though,
as the French court of cessation must
pass upon the papers in the case and
decide whether the first trial was multi
fled by the forged documents. If that
court is domineered by the military to
the extent of the trial court, the chance
of a retrial is rather dubious.
