MPLS. MODEL
Chicago Wineroom Ordinance
Based Upon This City's
Experience.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Dec. M.-Mayor Harrison yes
terday signed the wineroom ordinance
passed by the city council Monday night
and Immediately ordered Chief O'NeiIl
to enforce it to the letter Some doubt
was expressed as to the meaning of the
ordinance, but it was dispelled by the
chief executive. The question was raised
whether the council was not discriminat-
ing in requiring winerooms in saloons to
come out, when the private dining-rooms
in restaurants which are selling LIQUORS
under a city license are allowed to re-
main. Corporation Counsel Walker SAYS
the ordinance is legal and entirely with
in the power of the council
Assistant Corporation Counsel Arthur
who drew the measure, received a COPY of
decision in the supreme court of Min
nesota, upholding a similar measure
passed by the city council Of MINNEAPOLIS.
1t is looked upon as one Of the stronges st
cases II the saloonkeepers decide to fight
the measure. The city charter of Mime
apolis does not give the city so much
power in regulating saloons as does the
charter Of Chicago. Yet the ordinance
passed was upneld IN every particular by
the highest court of the state. In the
Minneapolis case 1t was held that the or
dlnance was not arbitrary, oppressive or
unreasonable as was contended by the
attorneys fighting the measure. Said Mr..
Arthur:
In view Of this decision there can be no
question as to the legality Of our ordinance.
In the Minnesota case it was contended that
The cost of tearing out the winerooms was
so great that it could not be required. The
court held that that had nothing to do with
the case The Minnesota decision sustains
our ordinance In every particular.

MAY FIGHT
One of the Greatest of Mod

Possibility.

Ne'c York San Special Service
Washington, Dec. lit is reliably re-
ported in diplomatic circles that decided
ly strained relations exist between cbile
and Argentina and war between these two
countries is looked upon as a certainty.
In the event of war, the whole of South
America would be infamed. Argentina is
confident that in a struggle with Chile
she will have the moral support of Para
quay and Uruguay, and the active support
of Pera and Bolivia
With such odds against the Santiago
government, it Is asserted that it would
be suicidal for it to engage in war, without
reference to the support Of any other
country. Argentina, 1t is learned. has
adopted firm attitude and is INSISTING
upon the fullest explanation of the Chilean
invasion of the territory in dispute and
new before the King of Great Britain for
arbitration.
Before war occurs, the United States
will tender its good Offices and Argentine
will probably accept. Chile's attitude is
not as definitely known. If war occurs.
1t is expected that Argentina will immedi-
ately set her fleet in motion for the pa
cifc, and one of the greatest naval battles
of modern times will probably be fought
on the Chilean coast.

TREMENDOUS IMPORT

On in Amalgamated.

NeqO York Sstss Special Se~vtoe
Boston, Dec 11.-Thomas w. Lawson
contributes another statement to the
Amalgamated campaign tonight. He
says:
There are many stories atloat in regard to
the affairs of the Amalgamated comDanv
and its connections, all tending to show there
is something of great import going on below
the surface l think some of the stories con-
tain truths, others fiction. l know there is
something of tremendous import to the hold
ers of Amalgamated being worked out. | be-
lieve whatever the outcome may be the in
terests of the bookcases Amalgamated will
not be damaged 1 kno# if the outcome is
that which is being worked for Amalgamated
Will quickly demonstrate that the most en-
thusiastic predictions of it's friends were
justified. In my opinion holders of Amalga-
mated should not take seriously the frantic
denials from certain quarters which instantly
follow any leaking of either fact or fiction.
print herewith example of the thous-
ands Of like denials which followed any and
all statements to the effect that Butte &:
Boston and Boston & Montana would ever be
exchanged for Amalgamated stock When
these denials were made Butte was selling at
Is to 20 and Montana 100 to 200, and hundreds
of people who read such stuff parted with
their stock, which afterward sold, Montana
at $40 and Butte at 100, and even at the
tremendous slaughter prices of to-day the
people who sold their Butte, which l had ad-
vised them to buy at So to $12 a share could
had they retained 1t, sell 1t at double what
these denials then undertook to show was a
fictitiously high price, engineered by schemers
for the purpose of unloading upon the public,
and the same comparison will hold good in
Boston & Montana.

Madison, Wis, Dec. 11.-Citizens Of
Windsor, a village ten miles north of this
city, had an exciting chase after two
burglars who blew the safe and wrecked
the general store of C. Ellis last night.
The explosion, which blew out the end
of the store, woke several people, who
hurried to the scene in time to see two
men running away. Two shots were fired
after them, but neither took effect. OWNS
to the wrecking of the store, it is not vet
known what the thieves secured. 1t is
the fourth tirle Ellis store has been bur-
glarized in four years.
The burglars got away with $500 worth
of jewels. Sheriff Curmister is after
them, but thus far they have eluded pur-

at least two of the jurors were in favor
of acquittal at first, but the truth of this
will be established later.
The jurors say that it was Pickett's tes-

ButEdi1lgs Washington.
Washington, Dec. lit is the unani-
nous opinion of the president and cab
met that the ''open door" in the Philip
pines must be retained. This conclusion
was reached yesterday. Discussion of it
was brought about by the fact that a
good many members of congress have been
saying that the forthcoming Philippine
tariff ought to discriminate in favor of
American goods so that our trade there
may increase more rapidly. At present,
both Germany and Great Britain are do
ing a much larger Philippine business
than We and their business is increasing
more rapidly than ours.
Notwithstanding this fact, however, the
president and cabinet think the country
is in honor bound to trade in the Philip
pines on the same conditions granted the
rest of the world. Any other arrange
ment would humiliate the United States
and dlshonor those of her statesmen. in

The fact that the door in the PHILIPPINES

concession for us as to China, so the
United States is in no position to 90 back
on the arrangement and the president and
cabinet insist that it shall not.

SPRECKELS'
MAIL SERVICE
It Gives Auckland
AS Port of
Call.

AUCKLAND, June 2S-Theres still
to the precise terms of the San Fran
cisco mail contract between the
Oceanic Steamship Company and the
United States government so far as the
designation of the port of call in New
Zealand is concerned. AT the confer
ence on Wednesday between the Auch-
land chamber of commerce and the To-
cal members of Parliament, Mr. My
ers, in the course of his pithy and bust
ness-like REMARKS on the San Francisco
service, seemed to assume that the
question of the New Zealand port Of
call was still an open one, and that
there was danger of the mail steam
ers being diverted to Wellington unless
great vigilance was exercised. This,
however, is a Misrepresentation. The
contract specifically names Auckland
as the port of call, the route to be fol-
lowed being set forth in these words:
From San Francisco, California, to
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia;
touching at Honolulu, Apia, or some
other port in the Samoan Islands, to be
designated Dy the pOSluldSlSE GENERAL
and Auckland, New Zealand 1t will
thus be seen that during the currency
of the contract, which is for a period
of ten years, the port of call in this
colony must be Auckland and no other.
At the same time it is of the utmost
in view of the combination
that has been formed in the interests
of rival service via Vancouver that
the closest watchfulness Should be ex-
ercised by our representatives to frus-
trate any attempt to impair the postal
and commercial usefulness of the San
Francisco service. Though it Is not
possible to challenge the supremacy of
that service as the quickest mail route,
and as the one possessing the greatest
potentialities in respect of the promo
ton and development of trade and
tourist traffic, it is nevertheless neces-
sary to be on our guard against influ-
ences inimical 10 it's best interests.
This is the more to be regretted since
were the service fostered and encour-
aged by the government IN a broad
minded spirit the advantages TO the
colony as a whole could not fail to be
immensely increased. Even as 1t is we
look with confidence to the colony
reaping greatly enhanced benefits in
the Immediate future from the siren
nous efforts which are being made by
the contractors to develop trade be-
tween this country and America, and tc
divert to this part of the world some

been formed, and the work of laying
the cable is progressing, and this i'm
perial work, advantageous alike to the
colonies and the mother country, will,
it is expected, be completed well with
in the next two years. I regret to say
that some friction has arisen, owing
to the government of New South
Wales, one of the contracting parties,
having granted concessions TO the
Eastern Extension Telegraph Compa-
ny, which are deemed inimical to the
Pacific cable scheme. Others of the
contracting parties were approached
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1901-07-17

with the same object in view, but
steadily refused to be any parties to
doing anything which would initiate
against the success of the Pacific ca
BILE. This course will, I feel sure, be
appreciated. 1t is the first time that
the imperial authorities and Canada
have, with the Australian colonies and
New Zealand, jointly undertaken a
work Of imperial and colonial impor-
tance, and nothing should be done
which alters the situation until after
consultation, and with the concurrence
of all the contracting parties.
