CIRCUIT FOR LOCAL OPTION.
1HC1IHEs TO THE VIEWS OF DR.. FUNK
AND DISTRICT ATTORNEY PHIL
BIN on EXCISE.

Edward NJ Grout. Controlier-elect. yesterday
gave a Tribune reporter his views on the Sun
dav openins phase of the excise question. Mr.
Crout prefaced his statement by saying that
his opinions were those of an individual DEM
ocrat as the excise question was wholly outside
.of his department in the city administration
The best thing l have heard in this whole
discussion said Mr.. Grout, lis the opinion
recently expressed by Dr.. I. X. Funk. He said
that the question of Sunday opening should be
left TO local option and the districts should be
suhdivided as much as possible. But DR.. Funk
also said and think very wisely, that II the
Sunday opening question is TO be referred TO
local option the whole question of license or no
license should be referred also. This is done, 1
believe in some parts of the State.
The present law does not meet the sentiment
Of the community and cannot be enforced The
result is that respect for the law is weakened.
believe the only way to determine the true sense
of the community in this matter is by refer
endum and this at a special election. SUCH a
course will awaken public interest. and people
would give thought to the matter il they had
TO 1t.
Il should hate to see the party to which | be-
long committed to any Sunday opening leslsla-
tion Further I do not believe that either the
Democratic or the Republican party will COM
nit itself 70 anything of the sort until II gets
its ear very close to the ground.
Personally 1 believe that there Is a great
deal in what District Attorney Phibin said
a bout this question and 1 think his plan leaves
way open for the Sunday sale of liquor under

THE TEST OF THE Decatur.
REMARKABLE PERFORMANCE OF THE

fBy TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE


TBy TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
Washington, Dec. 13.-The remarkable per
formance of the Decatur, built by Trigg. of
Richmond for the navy. is the source Of great
gratificatlcn at the Navy Department, the ease
with which she made % knots on her first trial
being regarded altogether phenomenal The
Decatur is the first to he completed of the six
teen destroyers. pioneers of a new type in the
service
Yesterday, after running at various speeds
Chesapeake Bay course, the inspection board
determined, as several hours of daylight re-
maned, to give her the Official acceptance test
of two hours straightaway. She completed this
run without forcing at the rate of 2S. 155 knots
an hour. funCtoning perfectly in every particu-
lar, TO the delight of the trial board. This was
achieved with only 22o pounds of steam pres
weight aboard than required by contract
Admiral Melville, who is enthusiastic over the
result, says that across the water. particularly
in Great Britain. many six and ten trials
have been necessary to get destroyers UP to
their contract requirements, while the Deca tur
succeeded offhand.
The Dale. a sister of the Decatur. also built
by Trigg, is ready for trial, and the navy, in a
week or two will possess its first two vessels of
this class. Admiral Melville says the Decatur
is easily capable of maintaining 80 knots if
the Decatur is of thoroughly American design

An UNLUCKY DAY FOR MILLER.
ON FRIDAY, THE THIRTEENTH. HE IS HELD IN
$1,000 BAIL.

Judge Aspinall, in the Kings County Court yes
terday held William F Miller of the Franklin Syn-
dicate, in s72,500 bail. Colonel Robert Ammon
Mllers counsel. was almost stunned by the
amount demanded. Ever since the Appellate Di-
vision of the Supreme Court reversed the convic-
tiop of Miller before Judge Hurd Ammon has been
trying 10 get his client out of Raymond Street Jail
where he has been imprisoned ever since his re-
n1oVal from Sing Sing 1t seems likely. however
that Miller will remain in jail until his case is
again called for trial. unless wealthy person
qualities in twice the amount of bail demanded
District Attorney Clarke requested that the bail be
fixed at slIOO00 saying that sum was necessary TO
insure the presence of the prisoner when he was
wanted. Mr. Clarke said there were seventeen sep
arate indictments and in each the bail should
amount to $4,000. Colonel AmHfon said the amount
was outrageous. but IL to be expected on Fri
day. the 18th Of the month. He declared that he
would obtain a writ and have the decision re-
viewed by the Supreme Court Two additional in
dictments were found against Miller yesterday
which brings the total UP to seventeen.

Pendlet0n heard OF IL, and became
very angry. Whether Vest actually

Vest succeeded 10 the vacant desk.
It was some years after this that
Vest in his turn became disguised
with the fruits Of the spoils system.
He had had a falling cut with Prcsi-
dent Cleveland, and had become a
rather bitter anti = administration
