The Purposed High License.

The passage by the Virginia Senate of
the bill increasing the license on saloons
to $500 has caused considerable adverse
comment from most keepers Of such
resorts 1t is said that some Of them
will be compelled to relinguish the bust
ness and it is suggested that the number
of 4speakeasies will be perceptibly in
creased. People engaged in selling
liquor do not think the revenue will be
materially increased by high license
from the fact that many now conducting
saloons and paying moderate license
taxes will be crowded out of the busl,
ness, while those who sell on the sly will
pay nothing.

Washingtonian Robbed.

Early last night a young man who
said he was a Washingtonian, but who
refused to give his name, went to the
Roval street station of the electric rail-
way and reported that he had been held
up and robbed of his pOcketbook, con
tanning about $l2, on Pitts.reet, between
Prince and Duke. He was told to re-
port the matter at the station house, but
this he declined to do lest his name APP
pear in the newspapers and distress his
mother, WHO'S ill. He, however, said he
would return today and tell the police OF
his experience. He says the footpads al
first asked him for money with which to
prepare for a night lodging

Sent to Alexandria Hospital.

A young man, who gave his name as
Kerrick and said his home was in
Fauquier county, went to the station
house yesterday morning for shelter and
help. He told Lieutenant Smith that
he had been a sufferer from typhoid
fever in a West Virginia hospital and
found himself too weak to proceed any
farther. The lieutenant procured Chief
Pettey's buggy and conveyed the young
man to the Alexandria Hospital where 1t
was found that he was suffering from
troubles which usually accompany con-
valescence from typhoid fever.

IMPORTANT TO MExIco.-The people
Of Mexico are taking great interest in
the Panama canal, says a dispatch
from the capital Of the republic, and
it is believed that the United States gov
ernment will begin work on the canal
Immediately following the ratification
of the treaty and it Is estimated that
it will be completed within five years.
1t is realized by the government and
the leading business men that the ca
nal will be of value to the commerce Of
Mexico. 1t Is stated that President
Diaz contemplates the establishment Of
a steamship line running from Vera
Cruz and Progresso to Habana, Port
Limon, Colon, Savanilla and La Quay
ra, the steamers to make the round
trip in one month. Communication
would thus be established between
Mexico, Cuba and Central America,
