License Law Upheld.

At the opening of the January term of
supreme court in Montpelier last week
Tuesday a decision was rendered declar-
ing the license, local option liquor law
constitutional in respect to section 6S
which fixes the penalty for unlicensed
selling. The decision was on the Caledo-
MIA County case OF State VS.. 6. Constan-
limo. Chief Judge Rowell read the de
cision. 6. Constantine, a Hardwick
man, was found guilty OF furnishing con-
trary to law and fined $500. The case
went to Supreme Court on pro forma
ruling from the lower court. The res
pondent claimed that the law did not fix
a minimum penalty, and that the mini
mum was too large. The decision OF the
Supreme Court declares that the maxi
mum 6ne is not excessive and the con-
tention that there is no maximum pen
atty as unimportant. The pro lorna
judgment adverse to the respondent is
affirmed and the cause remanded.

Labeled the Girls.

A good joke was played on the girls
recently by the young men of certain
town. The boys had been rather remiss
in their attentions, and the girls de-
cided to show their independence. Con-
sequently five of them hired a box at
the theater and made a very charming
theater party.
The play was Wanted, a Husband"
and the girls sat serene through it all,
never dreaming that the enemy had
fastened one of the posters, Wanted, a
Husband round the box so that the
audience might read.

The Streets of Amsterdam.

Amsterdam in Holland, a city of ten
miles in circumference, is mostly built
on piles driven into the sandy subsoil,
but the flowing of the tide and the
debris of the Ainstel river have made
ninety islands, and the city has more
canals than streets. The watery ways
are traversed by over 300 bridges, so
that Amsterdam has earned the desig-
nation of the Venice of the North.

Japanese Have Given Cars Men
Genuine Case of Blues.
St. Petersburg. July 29.-since the
Russian retreat from Tatchekiao and
the taking Of New Chwang by the Jap
anese the feeling here has grown sud-
denly more pessimistic.
With the Japanese able to get
around Gen. Kuropatkin's right from
New Chwang, with their forces press
ing in upon Hal Cheng from the east,
and a Japanese column threatening the
Russian communications above Lao
Yang. the withdrawal of the entire
Russian army northward may be abb
solutely necessary.
In this connection the orders issued to
the foreign war correspondents to go
to Hardin. as announced in these dis
patches yesterday. as well as the AS
ISOLATED Press confirmation this morn
ing from vladivostok that Viceroy
Alexieff is going there. are highly sig
nifcant, as indicating that Gen. Kuro-
patkin may already have decided that
his present position is untenable.
The tempers OF the soldiers at the
front over these continued retrograde
movements is shown by the statements
Of two Russians correspondents with
Gen. Herschelman. who report in iden-
teal language that the soldiers are
tired Of retreating," and the statement
OF another Russian correspondent who
saws. "our men retired from Tatchekiao

THE RUSSIAN POLICE
HAVE RECOVERED BOMB

st. Petersburg, July 30. 1852 a. M
The police have not yet esta blished the
identity of the assassin Of M. Won
Piehve. or of his accomplice, though it
has been ascertained that the former is
a little Russian, which accounts for
his noticeable accent. The accompiice
Is a Jew.
It has developed that the police for
some time past have been aware that
plot was maturing against the EN-
peror, and notified one OF the minis
ters that a party Of fifteen anarchists
had arrived in st. Petersburg. Sew
eral arrests were actually made some
days before the assassination Of the
Minister of the Interior and the police
had the assassin's house marked. and
"A trap set for his arrest on the night Of
July IA. but he did not return home.
The bomb which the accomplice drop

has been recovered by the police. IL

More activity Is noted at few West

assume form, pending assurance as to
crop results and settlement Of existing
Industrial disturbances.
Crop conditions are on the whole
favorable, though irregularity I'm sec
tions prevents generalization. Fall in
quiry and shipments of goods are liv-
ening up ut the West. and are expect
ed TO become active early in August.
The movement of winter wheat,
somewhat delayed this year, has at last
begun i'm earnest. Confidently inn
provement in collections is shown at
some centers and the demand for mon
ey from the country has increased. The
movement of currency to move the
crops has assumed good proportions
this week.
Advices from some Western markets
point to more doing In fall dry goods,

poets favorably influence Southern
trade, which Is expected to prove excel

The great hall was dotted with an

minutes, and cries OF "Leglol Legio!

believe will mark new era of liberty

POLITICS AND FINANCE
AT CABINET MEETING.

Washington, July 29.-Politics and
finance and some minor departmental
matters were the features of to-days
cabinet meeting. Conditions of the
treasury as regards the working bal
ance in the department were present.
ed by Secretary Shaw.
Thus far. during July. the expendi-
lures of the government have exceed
ed the receipts by about $4,000 900. AS
a result the working balance of the
treasury has fallen below $500 .000
This fact has suggested the possi-
bility of making a call on the ma
tional bank repositories for a part of
the deposits Of the government in their
vaults. Secretary Shaw is convinced,
however that no call will be neces-
sary, perhaps for a considerable time,
and so informed the President.
