LIQUOR DEALERS THINK
LICENSE BILL WON'T PASS.
Generally Regarded in Astoria as
Scheme to Graft Few Thousands
From Saloon Men,

Representative Hawson has introduced
a bill in the lower house OF the legisla-
ture providing for a retail liquor license
of $1,000 a year. The present license s
$iOO, and, If the bill presented by Hawson
should pass, saloon men would be re-
quired to pay a license of nearly $3 a
day.
The opinion seems to be general among
saloon men that the purpose OF the bill
is to force the saloon men to put up
few thousand dollars to secure Its de-
feat, and it is generally regarded in AS
toria as a grating scheme, pure and
simple. This belief is strengthened by tho
action of B. S. Worsley, Of this city,
seIgeant-at-arms of the house. who In
terviewed several saloon men Saturday
night and informed them that the defeat
of the bill could be secured with a small
fund. Only small amounts were asked
from the saloon men, but, so far as
can be learned, none Of the liquor deal
ers took advantage of this opportunity
to kill the measure.
Local saloon men are of the opinion
llltl Nllc uAil Win lAOh ihIiNN AttAA "a Ne6~h
votes, and they are probably correct In
this surmise The license they are now
compelled to pay Is considered extortion-
ate and they find it difficult to secure the
necessary 800 every year. However,
should the bill pass and receive the sig
nature of the governor, the city of AS
toria would not lose. any Of its revenue.
There are now 80 saloons here. which
pay annually $4,000. The revenue thus
derived exceeds by over $1,000 that from
any other source. If the license were in
creased to $1,000. Is saloons would proba-
bly, remain in business. The saloon men
are not at all concerned over the bill,
and those seen yesterday stated that they
would not put up one cent to secure its
defeat.
The Liquor Dealers Association, at its
meeting Sunday night, passed a resolu-
ton condemning the proposed law, and
urging the members of the Clats0p
county delegation in the Legislature TO
work against 1t. The secretary was In.
structed to correspond with other similar
associations In oregon and acquaint then
with the necessity Of requesting theil
representatives TO work against the bill.

Senator's Want the RighttO This
Title to Go to Schley and
Not Sampson.
WHITE AGAINST EXPANSION
California Senator Opposed to Ratlfi-
cation Of Peace Treaty Alaska
Bill Fsvorably Reported.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The entire !
executive session Of the senate today was |
devoted wholly to a discussing Of the |
promotion Of Admirals Sampson and
schley and other naval oflcerS engaged
In the Santiago campaign over the heads
OF officers who were their superiors in
rank. The controversy was then post
poned for 20 days after a vote had been
taken to call Tor the records OF the navy
department bearing upon the conduct Of
all affected by the advancement.
For three hours the senate engaged in
a very animated verbal battle. The main
contests were, first, over the general
policy Of promoting these officers over
the others. who were characterized as
quite as deserving though less fortunate,
In that they were deprived Of such active
participation in the war, and second.
US TO the relative merits Of Sampson and
Schley.
Senators German and Wellington. OF
Maryland. one a republican and the other
democrat, united In a fierce attack
upon the navy department for favoring
Sampson and Schley. while Senators
Lindsay, Pettigrew. Perkins. and Money
attacked the whole system Of promotion
as "a species Of favoritism which was not
warranted by the facts"
Senator wellington was especially
jealous in his advocacy of the claims Of
Admiral Schley, and in his presentation
of the reasons why Admiral Sampson
shuold not be preferred over Schley he
and his colleague, German, made state
ment that. If official papers were ordered,
they would demonstrate beyond possible
question the fact that Schley and not
Sampson, fought the battle OF Santiago.
Senators Hale and Chandler. both men,
bers of the naval committee, defended the
action Of the navy department.
During the presentation of this side
much was said in upholding the claims of
Sampson in preference to those of Schley
and the friends of the latter officer were
warned that II thev insisted upon press
Ing the investigation too closely some
facts would be developed that would not
be agreeable to them. The charge was
made that Schley had voluntarily left
Santiago after reaching the vicinity of
that port after Cervera had entered the
harbor. and also a charge that. when the
Spanish fleet had sailed out through the
narrow mouth of the channel, Admiral
Chen commodore) Schley had made re-
verse movement with the Brooklyn and
gone in the direction opposite to that
taken by the Spanish squadron instead
of boldly attacking the enemy in running
