Drunkenness and
Gambling in England.

For the first time in three hundred
years the Parliament of England has
seriously set itself to the repression
of vice. There is now before the
House of Lords proposal to restrict
the gambling practices which have
become an evil threatening the very
life of the nation The peers them
selves have not been without blame
in this matter, as they themselves
know; but the popularizing of betting
there, as here, has come through the
daily press which does all it can to
foster the habit of gambling among
the inexperienced, the young and the
poor. But the new Licensing Act.
by which Parliament introduces dras-
tic measures for the repression of the
drink traffic, is already in operation
and has caused a great commotion
among those interested in the matter
either as dealers or as drinkers
This law, which went into effect
upon the first day of January, makes
any drunken person subject to arrest
and punishment, whether found on
the highway or in any public resort,
without question as to violence or
scandal of conduct. And drunken
ness by the new act becomes not sim
ply a misdemeanor, but a crime
ANY person arrested for this cause
thrice in one year is photographed
and his photograph supplied to all
the drinking resorts in his neighbor-
hood, near or remote; and any dealer
in spirits selling to him after that
incurs severe penalties. He himself
is subjected to heavy fines, increas-
ing in proportion to the frequency of
his arrest. In addition to this the
burden of executing the law is
thrown notupon volunteer informers,
but upon the police board in each
department. Drunkenness is made a
ground for legal separation of hus-
band and wife; and the first day after
the law went into effect a peer
of England applied for separation
from his wife on the ground of habit
ual intoxication. Social clubs are
placed under such severe restric'
tions and made liable to such heavy
penalties that one of the best known
has had already to consider the res
ignation of its chief officers who re
fused to face such personal perils

SENATE
Discusses the Question of POlyg-
amy.

Washington. February 6.-Polyg-
amy occupied the Senate's attention
Thursday. A suggestion of an amend
ment of the statehood bill covering
the question strongly and firmly was
urged. The influence of the Mormon
church in politics came in for a full
share of attention, and in many
speeches there was evidenced alarm.
Mr.. Hale voiced the sentiment of this
element when he said that the debate
has disclosed powerful religious or
ganization exertiug itself as domi-
nant potential force over the mind
and action of it's followers which
should be taken into account in fu-
ture legislation. 1t is regarded as
certain in this connection that Sena-
tor Smoot will find strong opposition
to his entrance when he presents his
credentials as senator-elect from
Utah.

The Standards Fight.

During the afternoon, informa alton
concerning the receipt of the mes
sages leaked out and became the sub
ject of some quiet cloak-room discus
sion at the Senate The news also
reached the House, some of the prom
inent Representatives learning the
gist of the dispatches. Then it be-
came known that this was not the
first time the Standard Oil Company,
through its attorneys, had endeav-
ored to influence legislation in Con-
gress at this session.
The attorneys for the company, it
was stated, had opposed vigorously
the enactment of the measure sub
mitted by Attorney General Knox to
the subcommittee of the House jul
dietary committee Subsequently,
when what is known as the Little
field bill was reported to the House
it can be said on the best of author
ity that the Standard Oil Company:
counsel began to devote their opposi
tion particularly to the Nelson
amendment to section 6 of the de
partment of commerce bill-tht
amendment which contains practical
ly the publicity features of the Kno'
antitrust bill.
They did not want that incorporat
ed in the measure, and. it is said
used their utmost efforts to preven
its favorable consideration. The,

The trouble in Macedonia has be-
come so serious, that Turkey has or

Austria, and they oppose the bring

Europe. They say this would cause a
massacre of Christians, and they en-
ter their protest. If Turkey persists,
there will be trouble.

Washington, Feb. lit can be
stated by authority that unless anti

satisfactory to the administration,
is enacted at the present session,
President Roosevelt on the 5th of
March will call an extraordinary
session of the Fifty-eighth Congress.
The President himself has told mem
bers of Congress of his desires and of
his determination in this regard. 1t
is understood that the announcement
was direct and unqualified.
1t is further stated that the de-
termination of the President was
reached only after careful considera-
tion of the strenuous efforts that are
being made to defeat any antitrust
Legislation by Congress. These eff
forts have covered a wide range.
They were characterized today by
one prominent Republican leader, to

that the Standard Oil Company so

Great Danger of an Outbreak Tn the
 Spring.
 ST. PETERSBURG, March 2.-Some publicists are of the opinion that only the sternest language toward Turkey can prevent war between Russia and Turkey in the spring. They believe that Turkey will pursue bands of Ma cedonian revolutionaries across the Bull garian frontier and that public opinion will compel Russia to interfere.
 The Russians thoroughly understand that a war with Turkey will be more severe one than that in 1878. Officers are quoted as saying that the Turkish army is the best in the world owing to it's German organization and arrna- ment. There is an inclination here to anticipate German financial support of Turkey, and in view of the situation forebodings of clash with Turkey are freely expressed in private, although they are carefully suppressed in tho newSuaue
