Clearly One of spite.
ESPECIAL TO THE PRESS,

Augusta, December 1.-The case OF
the state against q. II Became, the Gardi-
ner druggist who was accused OF selling
liquors contrary to the pronibitory law,
came to an abrupt ending In the Superior
court this afternoon, when the case was
noll pressed on motion OF the county
attorney. The only evidence presented
by the state was that on three different
occasions Mr.. Beane had sold alcohol
mixed with other ingredients to be used
for bathing purposes. The complaint
against Became was made by Is. q. Binn,
dsaler in lobstsrs, who ON complaint OF
MIR. Became had been ordered by the city
government from standing his team In
front of Beane's store where he made
himself q nuisance by hawking his goods.
1t was clearly a case of spite. Binn did
not make his appearances In the court.
The witnesses for the government all
gave evidence which was SO favorable to
Became that he would have bean acquitted
on that alone.

ESPECIAL TO THE rRrss.l

Washington, December l0.-The settle
mant of the apportionment for the next
tan wears is a question that Is making not
little Quiet agitation in both House anu
Senate. Ever since they returned 10
Washington the Maine representatives
have heen studying the ground with the
utmost care. They have discovered that II
the size Of the House is to be Kept at lts
present number, 357, several infuent'al
states will suffer. This brings ABOUT
ambition of things in the committee on
osnsus that is very favorable to Maine. IL
A. thought that Mr.. Burleigh can count
ON the assistance OF six OF his associates
on that committee at least, In favor OF an
increass OF the number or members OF the
House. And II once the committee de-
cioes on an increase, 1t Is hoGed that the
increase may be made 10 go far enough
"a LET Maine in with four members.
S.ven members are majority OF the
committee, which consists Of thirteen
members.
q The difficulty will be found among the
Republican lea isrs of the House. Inc
leadership has grayitated to the great
and powerful states, and among those
members the sentiment seems to Do
strongly In favor OF keeping the member
shin at its present size. They urRs that
the hall Of the HOUSE cannot SATISFACTORY
In accommodate greater number, tnat
even with the present number the nubiic
bnsIness suffers, and that the introduce
tion of a greater number will result In
confusion.
This then is the situation and 1t is
impossible to foreses what the outcome
will be, II the membership is increased
at all Maine will probably be cared for;
If 1t is not increased, she will OF course
have to lose member.
CAPTAIN Lincoln Tibbetts OF Portland,
ia In Washington. Captain Tibbetts Is
looking after his gunpowder claim, which
was reported adversely by the committee
last session He hopes to get this action
reversed, as not being in accordance with
tho facts of the case. Captain Tibhetts
has large support for the position oil
captain of the new lightship, whlnh Is
soon to be placed of Portland harbor.
Captain Tiobstts is a well known master
mariner, and his chance OF getting the
plsos would seem to be good, except Tor
the civil service regulations, which are
liable to cause the place to be filled py
the transfer of man from some other
Iightship on the coast.
The beer manufacturers are trouble
some factors in the work of reducing the
revenue. Already members OF CONGRESS
are being not little troublsd by oom-
plants that they have taken ten mill
lions Of dollars OF taxes of beer and have
taken not a cent of tea. The members
generally, or at least very many OF them'
feel that enough has been done for beer.
And yet. IN the fAcs OF this, the beer
manufacturers are said to be urging
strenuously upon Congress the taking on
OF still more OF their taxation. They
probably will not get what they ask.

DIFlNIIe INFORMATION.
Gen. Henderson Says That Is The First Thir 9
Necessary.

Tacoma Wash. July 1S.-General II.
ii. Henderson, speaker of the House of
Representatives is in Tacoma. Speak
ing of the conditions in China he said
We must wait until full informal ion
regarding the reports from China are
received. We have heard that our
minister has been massacred. and
Americans have been killed. but it
would be wrong without definite infor-
nation to influence the country and
plunge it into war. We have not de-
clared war against China as yet and it
would be wrong to go ahead and COM
NIT depredations against that country.
The necessity for an extra session
of Congress is not apparent Yet. 1t is
too early to tell whether II might be
necessary to call one. In case it is only
necessary for the President to protect
American lives and to compel an OBJ
servation of treaty rights he has au-
thorty. and no session of Congress will
be necessary. But if a declaration Of
war is to be made against China, Con-
gress must be convened. for that au-
thority lies in Congress"
