NO DRINK AT NAVY YARDS
Secretary Long Cuts Off Privilege
 Of Sailors and Marines.

Washington, Feb. 21.-The sale or all intoxicating liquors to sailors and marines while attached to ships sta toned at navy yards or while employ ed on receiving vessels or at naval sta tions is prohibited III Q general order issued to the service this afternoon by the secretary of the navy.
 In his order Secretary Long says that after carefully considering the question of serving liquor to sailors he has concluded that the practice is in- furious to the naval service and works much harm, and that the value Cf the sailor and marine will be advanced by the curtailment of his liquor supply. For several years the navy has allowed blue jackets in messes on war ships when at navy yards, either in com mission or in ordinary, to purchase in moderate quantities beer and other malt liquors which were served us> ually at their meals. Sailors on re- ceiving ships and marines at navy yards had the same privilege.
 The practice was recommended by naval officers, who believed it would tend greatly to discourage wholesale drunkenness on the part Of sailors and marines when they had liberty and would improve the personne. of the service. Officers commend the system as a highly beneficial one and urge it's continuance. They point to the suc- cess attending the army canteen and the reduction in the number of deser- tions as compared to those before the canteen was established. The secre- tary's action is said to have been tased on repeated protests made by tenpsI- ance societies throughout the country, which have opposed the government giving sanction to the sale of any kind of intoxicating liquors to sailors and marines

Berlin, Feb. 21.-The Agrarians are greatly exasperated over the frank an nouncement made by Herr von Bue- low. minister of foreign affair.", that the government does not intend 10 fcompromise the interests of the en- pire for the purpose of consolidating the Agrarians, and the most violent anti Anericanism is displayed by the Az rarian organs. At the annual assem- ply of the bundesrath and reichstag, Baron won Hammerstein-L0xte Prussian minister of agriculture and the champion of the Agrarians, put bimself in danger of dismissal in re- plying to the statement of Baron v0n 1 Thielmann, minister of the imperial treasury, that the American sugar competition was not as yet dangerous. The minister of agriculture expressed himself in Q manner so contradictory to the governments views that Herr von Buelow invoked concerted min isterial action to suppress parts cf the report. The Liberal organs are agita- ting the question of Baron von Ham merstein's retirement declaring that his utterances risked the endangering the negotiations between Germany and the United States
 The Tageblatt commenting upon the minister of agriculture's speech, en- titles it's article: Prussia is moboliz- ing against the empire.''
 The North German Gazette denies the report that the governments de- claration of it's friendly attitude to- ward the United States was due to for nal representations on the part of the United States Ambassador White.

FRANCES FIDELITY.

Paris, Feb. 21.-In President Lou bets message, submitted to both houses this afternoon, he says the regular transmission of power to the new president proves Frances fidelity to the republic at a time certain mis- guided persons are seeking to shake the confidence of the country in it's institutions. Continuing, the presi- dent dwelt upon the necessity of the union and respect for the essential or ganization of society tho parlia- ment, the magistracy of the govern ment and the national army. He con- cludes with recalling the work of the republic, which the president asserts assures liberty and peace, has founded a great colonial empire and has con cluded alliances and precious friend ships.
