1t is not all likely that the men who
have served in the army since 1898.
especially those who served in the

now, will enjoy the insults which, the

they will resent these insults most

pOrtant special missions both 10 the corona
ton of King Edward and TO the festivities
in Spain attendant the enthronng of
King Alfonso. The cardinals opposition to
the sending of the mission to England was
based on the fact that the British Parlia-

Merry Del Val. whom the pontiff desired
TO be chief OF the missions. openly refused

New York Liquor Dealers Warned by
Bonding Companies.

NEW YORK, April SHINE companies
which make a business of going on the
bonds of liquor dealers have notified their
customers of an advance i'm rates. The
bonds they sign guaranteed to the
State that the liquor laws will not be vio-
lated. When a saloon keeper is twice con-
victed of excise violation his license is re-
voked and his bond forfeited. Many or
the I'D liquor sellers arrested Sunday al
ready have been convicted, and if proved
guilty again the bonding companies will be
compelled to stand the loss.
A sad shock was dealt out to the liquor
dealers by the paragraph in the notice.
1--WE positively will not issue any bond to
hotel proprietors where the premises do
not comply I'm every respect with the liquor
tax law" This is interpreted to mean that
all owners of Raines law hotels must COM
ply with the regulations of the fire and
building departments. Not 50 per cent of
them do so now. To make all the changes
necessary will put hundreds of proprietors
to large expense. AS the new licenses are
TO be issued on May 1 this will have to be
done at once.

TARIFF Thinkers WARNED.
Speech by Count Won Posadowsky-
Wehner to Reichstag Committee.

BERLIN. April Sat a meeting of the
tariff committee of the Reichstag to-day
during a discussion Of the duties on grapes
and wines the imperial secretary of state
for the interior. Count Won Posadowsky-
Wehner declared that the statement that
the imperial chancellor. Count Won Buelow,
made the Italian goreign minister, Signor
PrinettI, special concessions in regard to
Italian wines was pure invention. Count
Won Posadowsky-W ehner again warned
the committee not TO impede negotiations
for the commercial treaties by providing
for excessive duties which would not only
place the government in false position
towards other countries, but would also
foster unjustifiable expectations at home,
which later would prove fallacious.
The committee adopted Clauses a. rs
and 45 of the tariff bill practically as pro-
posed by the government. The committee
fixed the duty on fresh unpacked apples
peaches and ounces at 21b marks except
in October and November, when they will
be free of duty. The same fruit packed
will pay a duty of 10 marks Plums and
cherries are taxed marks, strawberries 20
marks, currants, raspberries, gcoseberries
and other small fruits marks, and april
cots, teaches, damsons and other stone
fruits not otherwise specially mentioned s
marks, es proposed in the government bill.

Transports Delayed by a Strike.

NEW ORLEANS. April S.-There are
three British transports loading horses and
mules at Chalmette and the only delay is
due to a strike of ship liners, who want
81 a day instead of SO. The sailors are fit
ting up the ships in their places. ARMY of
ficers and secret-service men are supposed
to be making investigation for the govern
ment, but none has been seen. United
States District Attorney Howe was at
Chalmette to-day, but says he was only
showing some friends the city and has re-
ceived no instructions from Washington.
There seems TO be no idea that the traffic
will be interfered with. 1t averages about
half a million dollars a month and about
thirty millions have been spent here so far.

try TO all vessels carrying free goods This
applies not only to timber. but to all
goes at present free Of duty. The customs
authorities in London are reticent on the
subject Of this comprehensive regulation;
but the general character of the order is
believed to be intended to insure secrecy
regarding the intentions Of the chancellor
of the eXcheQuer, Sir Michael Hicks
Beach. That his budget proposals will be
unusually important is indicated by the
fact announced in the House of Commons
this afternoon by the government leader,
A. j. Balfour, that the budget will occupy
the House both Thursday and Friday.
