MORE SERIOUS ASPECT.
Only One of the Lynched Italians Was An
American Citizen.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The interna-
tional phase of the Italian lynchings in
Louisiana has assumed more serious
aspect as a result of several official re-
ports received here. These show that
the italian officials on the scene be-
lieve that four out of the five men
lynched were italian citizens in the
fullest sense, While the reports are
not final, the Italian authorities have no
doubt that they will be barred out by
the inquiries now in progress, and to
remove all possible doubt Marquis Ro-
mano of the Italian embassy will go to
Tallulah and make a careful investiga-
ton.
The Italian authorities have also ta-
ken note of the statement attributed to
DR.. Hodges, whose assault led up to the
lynching, that after the assault he
walked away, indicating that the Of
fence was not of a character to warrant
the lynching of five persons.

IMPORTATION FOR BREWERS
AND OTHERS.
Pure Beer.

-he Committee Of Inquiry with
respect to pure beer in England
has had a great deal to contend
with. 1t was instituted to ascer-
tain whether the allegations con-
cerninp injurious materials in the
poor mans beer had any founda-
ton in fact. In the first place, 1t
had great difficulty in bringing the
evidence concerning malPractices
up TO the scratch so that, although
the committee began to sit in Oct.
1896, it has only just succeeded in
bringing out its report, and even
now one OF its six memberships.
Clare Sewell Read-brings out minor
ity report OF his own. The m ost import
ant point for consideration. as the
majority report remarks, was the use OF
substitutes for malt or malt adjuncts in
the making OF beer. The committee,
after due consideration. are Of opinion
''that person who demands beer and
is supplied with a beer brewed with
proportion OF malt substitutes is not \
thereby prejudiced," for the simple
reason that some such substitutes have
been employed without remonstrance
for the last halt century. The only things,
therefore, that they can suggest tor the
convenience Of a customer who asks for
pure beer, aud wishes to see that he gets
it, are (I) that the materials of which the
beer is made shall be put on the labels
though not so as to inconvenience the
brewer too greatly; and (2) the publica.
ton Of return showing the amount or
proportions of materials OF each class
used by Individual brewers To the
general attitude on the part OF his
colleagues indicated IN this brief
summary OF their report Mr.. c S. Read
dissents, the chief ground Of his objec'
tions being that substituteslare not as
nutritive as malt and hops pure and
simple, and that while half the brewers
in the kingdom Oncluding MessTs. Bass,
Guinness, and LoVibondJ can make beer
OF genuine materials, there is no reason
why other brewers should not also be
compelled to do so.

Thirsty Guests SnnnlIed.

District Attorney Davis opinion, that
the new law regarding the sale OF liquor
on Sunday does not apply to hotels and
clubs, while not official, has been
generally accepted as correct. The
District Commissioners have expressed
the intention of requesting the opinion
of the Attorney for the District, and
meantime only the breweries are paying
any attention to the law.
Hotel keepers conducted their busi.
ness in precisely the same manner as
before the new law went into effect, and
some who had refused to sell liquor to
guests with meals the first Sunday after
the law went into effect, have returned
to thelr former method of doing business.
No notice has been served on hotel
keepers to stop this prac tice, and they
have not been informed IN any way that
the new law would be beregarded officially
as asapplying to their business. No orders
have been given to the police to prevent
the sale of liquor to guests at hotels, and
nothing has been done to suggest that
the new law would be enforced against
whom It was intended to be dire cted.
The Sunday keg parties on the
suburban commons, the beer socials in
the alleys, and the disorder arising
from these gatherings were the causes
of the passage of the act. The law has
affected them, but only to slight extent,
There we're no raids on alley speak
easIes last Sunday. though one or more
we're made nearly every Sunday for
months before the passage of the act,
There was but one difference in the
mode Of procedure. The collection was
taken up Saturday night and the beer
purchased then. Some friendly les box
kept it cold until Sunday, and then it
was hauled out to the appointed rendez-
vous and the informal club went to work
on the business before it,
The uptown clubs, OF course, paid no
attention to the law. Their precincts
are sacred and their secrets are their
own. No information was to be had as
to the observance or nonobservance of
the law in the Washington clubs last
Sunday from officials of those organlza.
tiors. They simply said that the law
does not affect them in any waV and the
affairs Of tclub were being carried on

PrOhibitiOnisIs Pleased.

This is a glorious victory for the right.
The Senate Military Committee had
recommended that the sale of malt
liquors be permitted in the canteens and
military posts. But Senator Hansbrough,
from the prohibition State of North
Dakota, introduced an amendment like
that which had been adopted without
dissent by the House, and 1t was
successful. We presume this prohibition
includes the national soldiers homes.
1t is a noteworthy fact that no Senator,
when the time tor debate and vote came.

1t may be questioned whether Hansen

whether Hansen's path was at all su-

very bad bridge to climb twice in

that would Disgrace wagon road. The
