CANTEEN ABOLISHED
FIRST ORDER ISSUED UNDER THE
ARMY REORGANIZATION ACT.

The first general order issued by the War
of the army reorganization act directs the
discontinuance Of the sale of beer, wine
and Intoxicating liquors on all military res
ervations and army transports. The order
was issued today and is very terse and con-
else in it's terms.
Section 38 Of the act is repeated in the
order, as follows:
1.-THE sale Of. or dealing in, beer. wine or
intoxicating liquors, by any person in any
post exchange, or canteen or army trans
port or upon any premises used for military
purposes by the United States. is hereby
prohibited. The Secretary OF War Is here
by directed to carry the provisions Of this
section into full force and effect"
The order then proceeds as follows:
Commanding officers will Immediately
carry the provisions Of this law into full
force and effect and will be held strictly re-
sponsible that no exceptions or evasions
are permitted within their respective juris-
dtotions."
All the existing regulations for the gov
ernment Of post exchanges are incorporated
in the order. but are amended In each In
stance 80 as to meet the statutory pro-
hibition against beer, wine and intoxicat-
ing liquor"
Although the orde rmakes no special ref
erence to the military reservations at Fort
Monroe, Va. and West Point, N. Y. It is
stated at the War Department that under
the terms Of the law 1t will be necessary to
discontinue the sale OF all intoxicating
liquors on those reservations as we'll as on
other premises used for military pur-
poses," and that the bars in the Chamber
lin and Hykeia hotels at Fort Monroe and
in the hote lat West Point will have to be
closed at onoe.

Possibilfty of a Combination Between

Possibility of a Combination Between
ThompsOn and ROsewater.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
LINCOLN, Neb., February 4.-Candidates,
legislators, politicians and outsiders alike
declare themselves generally as confident
that the present week win bring change
In the senatorial situation, that the dead
lock will be broken and that two senators
will be elected. Most OF them are also con-
fident that they know who will be the lucky
aspirants.
They say that something must occur to
break the jam before Sunday or hope Of a
solution during the session will be gone.
As there Is absolutely no approach to q
caucus or an agreement between the candi-
dates nothing is to be expected. The as
pirants themselves are still patient. but
the galleries are disguised with the con-
tinuance OF promises OF reserve strength
soon to be brought into play. The most
probable occurrence of the week leading
toward a solution will be combination be-
tween D. E. Thompson and Edward Rose
water.
These two candidates with their large
following, Rosewater having votes which
he can absolutely control, ana Thompson
pol,ing the highest vote of any aspirant.
are naturally propelled toward each other
in political minds. Rumor Of such a COM
bination has been prevalent from the. first,
but has been sternuous!y denied by each
man and during last week Rosewater was
active In the ani-Thompson campaign.
though this is supposed to have been po-
litfcal bluff.

MAI. CHARLES r. CLARKE DEAD.


His Aged Brother Passes AWAY Aumose
simultaneously.
Major Charles E. Clarke U, g. A.. rs.
tired. and his brother. Frederick ]. Clarke
members Of a distinguished family. who
mad both passed four score years of life
cleo within few hours Of each other on
Saturday. Major Clarke died Just before
noon at New Rochelle. N. Y, where he re-
sided with his sister. Mrs. Sarah ]. Lippin-
cott' who as Grace Greenwood was for
many years prominent In literary circles
Hall Winslow, a dramatist. Major Clarke
was In his efghty-sixth year. and had been
Ill two days from bronchitis. His death
was partly due to old age.
News OF his death was Immediately teIe-
graphed to relatives In Des Moines. Iowa.
AT O'Clock In the afternoon came a reply
from Des Momes to the effect that Fred.
erick ]. Clarke had died suddenly Mt the
Stone, In that city. He was in his ninetieth
year.
For many years the aged brothers had
kept In close touch. Neither age nor i'll
had carried on daily correspondence. It
Is believed by relatives that the elder
brothers death was hastened or perhaps
caused by shock when he received the sad
news from New Rochelle.
Major Clarke and Frederick J. Clarke
were born In Lebanon. Conn. and were de-
scendants OF a prominent New England
family. In 1851 Major Clarke. who was
then In the regular army. became @ captain
I'm the 9Th Michigan Infantry. He was pro-
NOTED to lieutenant colonel on the field OF
battle for heroism. He became a captain
In the regular army in 1857. and retired one
year later. after guarding the Union Paci-
fc railroad during construction. He dis
tinguished himself in Indian fighting.
Frederick j. Clarke was also a member OF
the 9th Michigan Infantry and was mus
tered out after the war as q captain. He
was In the comm!ssary department under
General Grant at Vicksburg. The surviv-
ing relatives Of the brothers are Judge Ru-
fus L. B. Clarke. for many years chief
examiner in the patent office In Washing
ton: Albert H. Clarke of Pittsburg; Mrs.
Sarah ]. Lippincott and Mrs. A. B. Mayo
of Washington The body Of Major Clarke
was taken to New Brighton, Pa, for in

FINANCE AND TRADE
Sharp Advance in Atchison Stock on
Change Today.
RAILROAD LIST GENERALLY STRONG
Profit Taking Caused Some
Weakness Toward the Close.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, February 4.-Opening prices
this morning reflected the accumulation Of
orders over the double holiday and were
general higher in consequence. London
sent over q range Of prices. showing ad-
vances varying from \ to ~ per cent.
Commission house business was on large
scale, but there was continued manipulation
in almost every instance. Traders and the
various pools worked aggressively for
higher prices, and their efforts were in the
main, successful
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific came
in for a large proportion OF the attention
and were very steady under q liberal de-
mand. Prices were not improved to the
extent that had been expected as the re-
suit Of considerable profit taking. The real
purposes Of the consolidation are stili
somewhat vague, but 1t is admitted that
the transaction Is far reaching in its in
fiuence and is destined to force other I'M
portant operations similar in character.
For this reason the various properties
which are considered as being desirable
az principles or parties to consultations
were taken up sharply.
Atchison issues were leaders of the mar
ket, the common stock in particular SELL
ing UP per cent, and important develop
ments are expected shortly. This stock Is
soon to go upon the dividend list. 1t is
said, and conservative Judges have re-
garded 60 as a fair price on its prospects
Now come rumors OF an alliance and the
stock is buoyant on merit and sentiment
combined.
Texas Pacific is another of the roads fig
uring prominently in the gossip of the street
and skillful manipulation helps to add color
to the prospect Of deal. Wabash preferred
stock and the bonds Of the common have
been attracting attention Of late because Of
the evident desire on the part of some in
terest to accumulate them. The preferred
stock finds good market, but is not now
being forced.
The position Of Burlington and Rock
Island ia not clearly defined. and the
chances are that these roads must either
be invited into some combination or de-
wise plan in which they may appear as
through In due course and the other big
Granger lines must take measures to pre-
vent being shut in.
AS railroad building was the feature of
the past generation so now is the business
OF railroad amalgamation. Too many rail-
roads were built during the former period,
but In the interest of harmony all must
stand together. 1t Is quite probable that
some of the hitherto f1rst-class properties
will be forced into the acquisition of line
Of assets, representing the control Of near
by lines, which will not add to the value
OF the original line.
The steel stocks were strong under con-
solidation rumors, and the local traction
shares for similar reasons were stronger
than at any time for weeks. 1t Is an OBJ
scure property which can evade the eye Of
a banker with consolidation scheme these
days.

BATTLE SHIPS BATTERIES.
The Bitter Fight Over SuperimpOsed
Turrets Renewed.


TIL. augmented naval board On construc-
ton met at the Navy Department this
morning to discuss and decide upon the
batteries. or. moro properly, the arrange
msnt Of batteries. on the nye big battle

The board is to pass upon Admiral
OfNeilrs plan as to the batteries which
pr opposes that each of the five battle ships
shall have main battery OF four twelve
inch guns mounted in two turrets, one
each forward and aft on the line OF the
keel four eight-inch guns mounted in two
turIets and superposed on the turrets or
the twelve-Inch guns: ahd of sixteen six
inch guns twelve to be mounted IN broad
side in a central easement on the gun
deck, and four In ermored gun positions in
the superstructure on the upper deck. BY
this scheme each one OF the big ships
would be provided with the superposed tur-
rets. whereas the original plan had been
10 have three OF the battle ships with and
two without the superposed turrets.
Thus the long and bitter fight as TO the
usage OF superposed turrets on our naval
vessels IL renewed. The board will continue
TO meet probably twice day. until a de-
cision Is reached. At present IL consists OF
twelve members. thus allowing OF the pos
sibillty of tie vote on this important ques-
ton. Captain w. II. Brownson, formerly
a member of this board. is not available
being on sea duty at present. and It is
probable that another officer Will shortly be
designated to serve in his stead.
