PROTEST FROM RESIDENTS.
Against Granting n Saloon License to
the Pabst Company.

The county commissioners yesterday
afternoon gave a hearing in the crimi-
nal superior court room on the appli-
cation of Otto A. Scholz, local agent Of
the Pabst Brewing company, for a IL
cense for bottling and saloon business
at Nos 73-75-77 Dixwell avenue, at the
corner of Dixwell avenue and Bristol
street. The application has aroused a
strong opposition from people who re-
side in that neighborhood and claim
that the locality is a residential one and
not suitable place for saloon.
A large number of the remonstrants
appeared yesterday afternoon to be
heard against the application. Attor-
ney Henry G. Newton appeared as
counsel for the remonstrants, and At
torney Charles Kleiner for the appli-
cant.
John HI. Barlow of Bristol street read
a long statement setting forth a num-
Der of reasons why no license should be
granted for the location named. He
stated that after they had found that
the Pabst company had purchased the
property but before the agent had ap-
piled for a license, letter had been
written to the company stating that it
would be well not to incur any further
expense at the place until it was seen
whether or not a license was granted.
Mr.. Barlow said that it was stated in
the letter that the locality was a resi-
dental quarter and that the people
there strongly protested against the To-
cation Of a beer depot and saloon there.
Mr.. Barlow called attention to the
fact that the location for which IL
cense was asked was only a short dist
ance from the Dixwell avenue Congre-
gational church and the Dixwell ave-
nue. school, although not within 200 feet
of either. Notwithstanding this fact he
that it came within the spirit Of
the law. He said that the location of
a saloon at the corner of Dixwell ave-
nue. and Bristol street would cause a
depression of rents and a depreciation

CONFERENCE AT THE HAGUE
RUSSIAN 1RBITRATION SCHEME
DISCUSSED BY COMMITTEE.
First Six Articles Adopted With Slight
MOdificatiOns-Italy and America SUBJ
NIT nts-ImpressiOn - Gains
Ground That Work of Disarmament
Committee VIII Amount to Naught.

The Hague, May 29.-The drafting
committee, or sub committee of the ar
bitration committee, met to-day and
discussed the Russian scheme, adopting
with slight notifications the first six
articles. Count Nigra, chief of the Ital-
ian delegation, submitted a proposal Of
mediation and arbitration consisting Of
six articles, in the form of an amend
ment to the Russian project. The
Americans also submitted an amend
ment, demanding that, in the event of
dispute between two nations, each
should choose another nation to act as
arbitrators to settle the difficulty, with
out bloodshed. This must not be con-
founded with the proposal for perma-
.nent arbitration tribunal, which the
Americans will introduce during the
week. The italian proposal includes
clause providing that mediation and
arbitration shall stop mobilization or
preparations for war. Neither the
American nor Italian amendment has
yet been discussed. The naval and
military sections of the disarmament
committe both met to-day and ex-
changed ideas in a desultory manner.
The impression gains ground that the
outcome of this committee will be prac-
tically nil.

Confessional Filipino Members.

Manila. May 20, p. m.-An order has
been issued re-establishing the Philip
pine courts, which have been closed
since the American occupation. 1t re-
wives all the Spanish system without
conflicting with the sovereignty of the
United States The chief justice is
Cayetano Arrelano. The associates of
the civil branch are Manuel Auralla,
Colonel Crowder and Gregerio Aranita.
The justices of the criminal branch are
Raymundo Malliza, Ambrosio Zianzares,
Julio Lorento, Major Young and Captain
Brkhimer. The attorney general is
Florentio Torres. This corresponds with
the American supreme court The oath
prescribed begins: II recognize and ac-
cept the supreme authority of the United
States of America" etc.
The Filipino members are all promi-
nent lawyers. Arelano is the leader Of
his profession in the islands. In the ear
ly stages of the Filipino movement he
was Aguinaldo's principal adviser. Ara

the insurrectionists. Spanish will be the
official language of the courts.
There has been agitation among the
local British and American business
men and American lawyers who came
to the Philippines to make fortunes to
have the English code and language
adopted, but Major General Otis con-
cluded that it would be unwise even If
practical, to upset the prevailing long
usage. He thought it best to give the
natives courts in the language to which
they have been accustomed. The Span
ish salaries proved a stumbling block to
obtaining good men, the highest being
only 81, 2,60O the Spanish judges receiving
fees, which are abolised. All the judges
are representative men.
Two correspondents of New York
newspaper have been dsbarred for fab

evading the censorship. The steamer Ell
Caney has arrived here from the island |
of Guam, bringing the Filipinos who
were exled there by the Spaniards for

PAYMENT OF CUBAN ARMY.
Opposition to the Receipt of AmerIcan
Bounty Killed.

Havana, May 29.-To-day's events III
connection with the payment Of the Gu
ban troops entitled to apply here FOR u
share in the American gratuity have
effectually killed off the opposition to
the receipt of the bounty. In American
military circles it is considered that e.
fine start has been made and the oppo-
sition is defeated. Three hundred pri1
Yates arrived during the day to apply
for payment, but though Lieutenant
Colonel Randall, the commissioner SUI
perintending the distribution here, kept
his office open from 10 a. m. to o. M,
only 112 could be paid during that In
terval, as each man took up several
minutes. Many who brought arms were
not on the rolls at all. Ninety-nine
rifles were surrendered, most Of the ap-
plicants declining to take any chances
in turning the weapons over to the may Y
or Of Havana, evidently believing that
it would be better to give them direct
to the Americans. All day it was vir-
tually impossible to get through the
front door of the Office unless the sentry
cleared the way The Cuban officers
who on the first day tried to discourage
any who were disposed to apply, fnd-
ing now that the tide Of feeling has
turned, are offering all the assistance
possible to Colonel Randall. AT the
conclusion of the days work there were
more than two hundred who had not
been heard. These will have to watt
until after the return Of the pay car on \
June Is, when there will probably be
extra days assigned for Havana. To-
morrow morning the pay car will leave.

ARCHBISHOP 4 KEINE.
Not to Resume the Rectorshtp of tho
Catholic University.


Washington, May 29.-An authorita-
tive denial was made to-day of the
statement that Archbishop Keane was
about to return from Rome to resume
his old post as rector of the Catholic
university, Monseignor Conaty, the
present rector retiring to become bishop
thorized the following statement: "At
the nesting of the board of trustees OF
the Catholic university. held at the
university last October, a request was
made by the trustees that Most Rev.
Archbishop Keane be asked to devote
a year or more of his time to help COM
plete the endowment of the university
so that at the beginning of the CEN
tury the university might be fully en-
dowed. Archbishop Keane with the dis
interestedness which has always char
acterized his devotion to the university
from the beginning of its work agreed
to do whatever the right reverend rec
tor and the trustees might desire, pro-
vided the necessary permission was OBJ
tained from the Holy See. The univer-
sity was never in better financial and
educational condition than at present.
The many endowments provided during
the current year give great hope to the
rector and the trustees that the work
of completing the endowment will meet
a hearty cooperation on the part of the
all-friend of the university. 1t is the
earnest desire of the rector that it may
be possible to show the Holy Father
that the university at the beginning of
the year SO dear to him is able to do
greater work in the cause"

Admiral Remey Reports That the Acct
dent Was Unavoidable.

Washington, May 29.-Admiral Re-
mey, composing court of inquiry ap-
pointed to investigate the circum-
stances of the recent grounding of the
cruiser Raleigh at the entrance of the
harbor of Charleston, S. c., has report
ed to the navy department that the ac-
cident was unavoidable and was due
mainly to the recent conditions in the
channel made by the army engineers
in operations for the Improvement of
the harbor with which changes the
navigation officers Of the naval vessel
were not in position to be informed
until too late The damage to the Ra-
leigh was trifing and can be easily re-
paired. Inasmuch as Admiral Remey
found no one at fault it is not likely
that any further action will be taken
by the department.
