yesterday from Excise Commissioner Sell

letter to Mr., seibert assuring him of the

missiorers.
Mr.. seiberts communication to Chief
Kiely follows:
ADear Sir: The experience of this city. in COM
&tuon with that Of all large cities of this coun-
ktry. shows that the greatest evils and most
serious menace to public peace and safety result
from keeping open saloons and other drinking
places until the late hours Of the night.
have determined that any saloon. or gar
den. operating In connection with a saloon. kept
open after / o'clock In the morning Is a dis
orderly place. and / shall accordingly, in the
exercise OF powers conferred upon by law.
revoke the licenses OF persons maintaining such
places open between the hours of a m. and
a. m. This order is to take effect on May Is.
and request the cooperation Of the police force
Of this city for its enforcement. and respect
fully request that you will instruct your patrol
men to notify me Of all places keeping open
after May Is during the prohibited hours.
Chief Kiely. In discussing the matter. said
he bad no doubt that the Police Board
would assist the efforts Of Mr.. Seibert.
Crime Is bred in these all-night saloons
and gardens" he said, '.and the closing OF
them would be most desirable. I hope the
Excise Commissioner will be successful in
his crusade"
Commissioner Seibert explained that the
regulations will apply to all saloons and
gardens. without exception. Even bar an
nexeS in hotels will come under the ban.
MY observation is" he said. that more
evil results after midnight than during the
entire day. Crime is bred in places that are
kept open all night. While insisting on this
rule, shall also insist on fulfillment OF the
law by grocers and druggists who are not
licensed to sell liquor at retail. After July
3, when all licenses expire, no storekeeper

Recent Order Excluding Foreign
Beef From British Army.

Washington. May Upon being advised
about three weeks ago through the press
dispatches from London Of the exclusion
of foreign beef from British army use,
the State Department instructed Ambassa-
dor Choate to report upon the matter. In
formation has been received at the depart

Doctor Wray, inspector OF American cat

or any considerable direct loss to American
exporters of beef and cattle. for the reason
that the domestic supply Of beef for all

Springfield. H., May 7.-Governor Yates
has not yet signed the Worlds Fair bill.
He announced tonight that he would not

The Governor has named the Commits

this case, for this is not an appointment as
defined by the Constitution. but an employ
ment. which is plainly defined in section "a
of article 5. Within the meaning of the
organic law. these Commissioners are em-
ployed and not appointed 1 believe my
construction of the matter is correct"
Section Is Of article of the Constitution.
referred to by Governor Yates, provides
that no person elected to the General As
sembly shall receive any civil appointment
within this State from the Governor, the
Governor and Senate, or from the General
Assembly during the term for which he
shall be elected: and all such appointments.
and all votes given for any such members
for any such office or appointment, shall be
void"
The Governor selected majority Of the
Commissioners from the Senate and House.
in response to tremendous pressure brought
to bear uoor him by members Of the Gem
eral Assembly.
The selection by Governor Yates Of the
Worlds Fair Commissioners who shall con-
troll Illinois's exhibit at the great st. Louis
Exposition in 1903 Is giving a number OF
persons in Illinois considerable concern. The
suggestion. however. that the selection OF
members Of the General Assembly as Com
missioners might invalidate the act Is hardly
worth mention. But the proposition to the
effect that members OF the General Assem-
bly, are not eligible to the Office Of Commis-
aioner is serious and will receive the atten-
ton its Importance deserves.
Illinois Exhibit Assured.
So far as the appropriation Of s25o.0oo is
concerned and Illinois's participation in the
greatest Exposition on earth, the st. Louis
