This state of affairs will most prob
ably be brought about by the members
of the United States Brewers Associa-

any size or repute in the country is a
member. This association is RESPONSE
bic for bill now in the United States
Senate providing for the aboishing of
eighths after July, 1900. The bill has
been favorably received aud would
probably have been passed long ago
had it not been for number of large
cooperagc firms, who have a petition
now before the Senate. that the bill
be amended so as to go into effect July
/, 1901, instead of this year. The move
mcnt of abolisbing kegs smaller than
Il quarter is most heartily indorsed by
nearly all brewers. The practice of
consumers keeping the smaller kegs
has been carried on to "A great extent.
Those small kegs are especially well
adapted for storing sauerkraut pick
les, etG,, during the winter months,
and are. therefore, eagerly sought by
the housewives. The price of these
small Kegs is almost as great as the
price of larger ones, and very fire.

actually being worth more than the

There is, however, some uncertainty
as to whether the measure will come

Three Hours of Debate.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-To-day's
session of the Senate was rendered es-
pecially notable by the passage, after
a debate lasting only three hours, of

lions in certain staff corps to one of

partmenTs OF the adjutant general, the

eral and oommissary general, they are
to be filleG by details from the line, the
details to be temporary and not to ex-
coed four years. The new system s
not applied to the corps of engineers,

or judge advocate generals depart
ment. The bill discontinues the regi-
mental organization of the artillery and

lery, with total Of II, 44S men.

delegates to the Fourth delegate district
to cast the vote of Lewis county for Mr..

nate him, but Webster county is also
solid for him, which will surely make him
the nominee.
In appropriate terms Mr.. Brannon
thanked the convention for the confidence
implied by the high compliment conferred
upon him. In well chosen words Mr. AL
ford responded to the call of the house,
and pledging his earnest support to his
successful competitor. Mr.. Afford is a
thorough Democrat. a hustling campaign
er, and is a new member of the executive
committee.

GOVERNOR .LEARY.
OF Guam, Reports All Well in that
Island Possession of Uncle Sam.


Island Possession of Uncle Sam.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Governor
Leary has sent to the navy depart
ment another of his characteristic Of
fetal correspondence about affairs in
Guam, including the results of a thor
ough census taken under his direction
and a financial statement of the first
six months of his administration,
which shows gratifying and grow
ing surplus of Mexican dollars in the
island treasury.
American money has not yet entered
into circulation in Guam and the fig
ures in the balance sheet represent
the silver currency left there by the
Spaniards. The amount in the local
treasury on July 1, 1899, was $2,171.
The receipts from July l to January
l, last, were $9,415, and the eXpendi-
lures for the same perior were S6,767,
leaving in the treasury on January /,
1900, $4,819. The receipts will not be
SO large for the remainder of the ifs
ral year, as the tax on marriage
licenses will not be so productive, but
The expenses will be proportionately
)educed, as many of the Improvements
lave been completed.
The governor reports that the evap-
Grating plant is in excellent condi-
ton, but he is still without an ice
machine, with the hot weather almost
at hand. The steam saw mill has
been installed, and was in successful
operation between Agana the CAPT
tai, and Pitt, the port. The officers
of the Yosemite were still engaged
On the typographical survey of the
Island, which would have been fin
lshed in few months. In fact all
was we'll at Guam, and life there
would be perfect with a refrigerating
plant and a good library. Gov. Leary
explains to the department that his re-
quest for a library did not contem-
plate a circulating affair for fiction.
He needed an encyclopedia, a set of
revised statutes, some law books and
other reference works indispensable
to his Office. Some books of this sort
were in the library of the Yosemite,
but that ship was seven miles from
the capital over a shadeless road, and
it was exasperating to make the trip
whenever a question of local admins
tration arose.
The tabulated enumeration of the
population of Guam has been forward
I'd by the Secretary or the Navy to
the director of the census to be in
Guided in the total of the United
States. 1t shows that Guam had a
population of 8,661 persons on Janu-
airy 1, 1900. OF these, 5,249 lived in
the capital city of Agana. In the
district of Agana are five villages,
which, with their populations, are:
Amiga, LAG; Asan, 255; Tehungan,
200; Sinahana, IA, and Carolinas, 80.
The five towns on the island outside
of the district of Agana with their
totals are; Agat, 744; Sumay, 566;
Umatta, 236; Morizo, 491; Inarahan,
sis. OF the total population Of the
island, 1928 are males over seven
Years old, $3.50 are females over seven
years old, and 1858 are children I'M
der seven years. Gov. Leary says
nothing about the state of health on
The island, but from his acquisitions
for medicines and surgical supplies
the natives are evidently patronizing
the naval medical officers with an
astonishing variety OF complaints.
