THE SALOON QUESTION
Comes Up for Discussion in League of
American municipalities.

Detroit. Aug. 3-QuestiOns of policy
concerning regulation of saloons deVeI-
oped an Interesting discussion in the
meeting of the League of American
municipalities. The principal address
on this tonic was by Mayor George X.
Perry of Grand Rapids. He contend
ed that it is impossible for state to
frame a measure calculated to govern
or regulate any offense- less than crime
itself which public opinion will sustain
as applicable to city and country alike.
Hence he suggested efforts toward in
ducing the state to cOncede a wider
latitude to municipalities in the matter
of enacting local self government
measures The speaker favored permit
ting saloons only in the business parts
of city and the taxing and regulation
of clubs and saloons alike.
Mayor f. b. Farnsworth, of New Ha-
ven, Conn. stated that his experience
had absolutely convinced him that pro-
hibitiOn never did prohibit. Concerning
the agitated question of drinking of
Yale students, he assured the fathers
present that a boy who would go to the
devil by way Of New Haven would
probably go anyway.
T. A. Hammond, Jr., of Atlanta, Ga,
told about two years experiment. with
prohibition which he said resulted bad
" for all concerned. AfterWard the peO-
pie and saloonists effected cOmprO-
mise, which regulates the business very
strictly and, as he claimed. satisfac-
toriIy.
Mayor Smfthe. of Charleston, S. C.,
outlined the workings of the dispen-
sary system. He claimed there was
more drunkenness in South Carolina
under the system than formerly.
Prof Bernis of the Kansas state ag-
ricultural college, made an address on
present progress of municipal electric
lighting. He gave results of exhaus-
tive Inquiries on the question of public
verses private electric light plants,
stating that he considered the former
unquestionably the cheaper. generally
speaking.

POSTAL IN TEXAS.
Telegraph Company Pushing Work
In the Lone Star State.

Dallas, Tex, Aug. Sd. McReynolds,
whose home is in St. Louis, but who for
more than a year has been superinten-
dent of construction for the Postal
Telegraph company of Texas, returned
to Dallas today after a rushing cam
paign of three months in Southern Tex
as. Mr.. Reynolds announces the COM
pletion of Postal Telegraph lines in
this state by the finishing of that part
of the system extending from Houston
and Galveston to New Orleans. This
gives the Postal two outlets from Tex
as to the north, the east and the west,
one via St. Louis, the other via New
Orleans.
By the latter part of August, Mr.. Nc
Reynolds says, the Postal will be in ST.
Louis direct via the short line being
built from Cairo to St. Louis. It is the
intention of the Postal management to
push work early in the fall on it's Texas
and Kansas City line over the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas railway route from
Denison northward. The Postal com
pany will have $4,000 feet of cable at
Galveston by August 10, with which to
lay cable across Galveston bay to
Bolivar Point for a direct connection
with it's line to New Orleans.
Mr.. McReynolds today severed his
connection woth the Postal construction
service and took charge of all the con-
struction work of the Southwestern
Telephone company in southern Texas,
with headquarters at Austin.

Camara Has Not a Fighting
Ship in Condition.

New York, Aug. ga dispatch to the
Tribune from Gibraltar. says:
The following advices have been re-
ceived from the Tribune correspondent
at Cadiz:
It is now an open secret that not a
single fighting ship of Admiral Cam
ara's squadron is in fit condition to go
into action. The Pelayo's boilers have
given out, the firing gear and turrets
of the Carlos V are unmanageabIe the
Audaz is completely used up by the re-
cent excursion to the Suez and the
ornaments of the auxiliary cruisers are
lamentably defective.
In case of any hitch in the present
negotiations the PeIayo and Carlos
would under no circumstances under
take an engagement here or in the
open sea but would take refuge behind
the forts of Cartagena.
The auxiliary cruiser Alfonso XIII
and the Pielago have sailed from Cadfz
for the Canaries. Admiral Camara
with his flagship, the Pelayo, Carlos V,
the Rapido, the Patricia, the Audaz,
the GeraldO and the Buenos Ayres still
remain.
The garrison at Cadiz now consists of
about &c 600 men. On Friday and Sat

TOAST OF THE TOWN.
All Atlanta Turns Out to Hon.
or HObSOn.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug 3-Richmond
Pearson Hobson has had at least two
warm receptions in his life One was
under the belching fires of Moro: the
other was in the midst of Atlanta's
hospitality. He, of MerEiLlac fame,
was the toast of the whole tUwn. From
the time he arrived until he departed
he received one continuous ovation
from young and old, big and little, pa
trician and plebeian.
The reception at the governors man
sion on Pe9chtree street to the young
lieutenant was one of the most re
markable demonstrations ever witness
Sed in Atlanta. Fully three thousand
people called to see HobsOn and his
mother.
Just before the reception, Mr.. Hobson
lectured at the Woman's club rooms for
the benefit of the Georgia soldiers in
the field. With that wonderful mod
esty that has characterized his whole
career, he never once mentioned him
self in his graphic descriptions of the
trying ordeals through which he has
just passed.
He told of how the Merrimac went to
the bottom midst that hurricane of shot
and shell in Santiago harbor-and it
was those men and not himself On
the other hand, he claimed the sinking
of the Merrimac was no i1IuStriOus
deed, but it was merely an evidence
that the men of the American navy
stand ready and willing to answer any
call. irrespective of danger and cOndi-
ton, that their country might make.
The speech was most eloquent, not
in it's huency or in its high soaring
phrases, but in its simplicity. To say
that it was most enthusiastically re-
ceived, and that the boy reached the
hearts of every one of his hearers does
not half express it. In company with
his mother he left the city for New
York where he viii preside over the
big meeting of the Sailors and Soldiers
Family Relief association.
