TEMPERANCE IN ENGLAND.
Americans Setting the Fashion With
Iced Drinks

From the London Express
The remarkable wave of temperance which
is at present spreading all over the country
Is said to be due in the first place to eco
nomic conditions and secondly to the great
change in public taste
'One of the chief reasons of the decrease
In the national drink BILL" said John T.
Rae, secretary of the National Temperance
League "ts the striking condemnation of
the use of alcohol by some of the most In
fuential medical authorities.
Another important factor in the de-
creased consumption of wines and spirits is
the fashion set by the large number of
American visitors, who show a rema rka BILE
preference for iced temperance drinks.
The total abstinence of the ma jority OF
the labor leaders is also beginning to tell on
the laboring classes and members of trade
unions many Of whom are now beginning
to realize that teetotalism Is an important
stepping stone to their future progress
There is no doubt" the manager of one
OF the largest firms of wine merchants told
an Express representative, that the de-
crease in wine and spirit drinking Is due 10
the present tightness of money and the
high rate of the income tax. In conse-
quence of this the public are only spending
about half as much on wines as they were
formerly in the habit of doing"
The following list of government returns
on home consumption of wines and spirits
speaks for itself:

THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Mr.. Frederic Harrison on It's De-
terioration.

terioration.
Frederic Harrison in the Positlvst
1t is commonplace today that the house
of commons is degraded. 1t has lost its
authority and its prestige. 1t has suffered
Itself year after year to be bamboozled,
deceived, hoodwinked. 1t has voted away
enormous sums without adequate inquiry
or guarantees for fair return. 1t has al
lowed huge populations to be made under
Its very nose, and 1t has col!uded with the
official efforts to screen the criminals 1t
plays into the hands of ministers who for
years are carrying on a game of equivo-
cation, evasion, or to speak plainly, Of
falsehood.
Can this moral rot In the constitution
of the house be stopped? The evil of 1t
Is that there is nothing accidental or tenn
porary in 1t. The new rules have made
the house more the creature of ministers,
have made II easier to silence minorities
and to evade questions, but that was the
deliberate action OF the majority, which
cares for nothing If its own side can win
Inc cnange of days and hours makes the
house more convenient for amusement.
More and more 1t has become rich
mans club; sort of Ranelagh for the
smart set, and. indeed, for the shabby set.
1t ts club with all the social habits of
club, with the coterie rows. good-fellow-
ship, casual ways of pretty mixed club
Clubs take lenent views of the moral
qualities of clubable fellows, who can only
play bridge and amuse the smoking room.
The house of commons does not do it's
duty does not want to do its duty, and
does not care how long ministers may
wriggle and maneuver, long as they
will stave off the dissolution. When the
majority have got to that state of hard
ened selfshness, 1t is not easy to find
remedy for that which 1t carries in the
bones Whether a new house and a new
speaker can cure 1t remains to be seen.

THE DUAL TARIFF IDEA
New Proposition Advocated
by Reciprocity Delegates.
CHICAGO CONVENTION
RADICAL CHANGE IN CUSTOMS
LAWS DEMANDED.
} CONVENTION
Representative Exponents Discussed
Plan to Formulate an Economic
System for Present Conditions.

Dual tariff" will, In all probability, be
the war cry that will ring through the
United States for some years to come in
stead of the familiar call for RECIPROCITY"
The new slogan means the passage of a
maximum and minimum tariff law per-
hitting the establishment of reciprocal
trade relations with friendly foreign coun-
tries by vote of Congress. Chairman San
ders of the executive committee of the ma
tonal reciprocity conference, which opened
Its two days session in Chicago yesterday
Is credited with originating the new war
cry. Mr.. Sanders preached his suggestion
to a few friends after the word reciprocity
had received some rough handling on the
floor of the convention and it met approval
among the delegates. 1t is considered now
probable that the reciprocity conference
will close its sessions by resolving itself
into THE Dual Tariff League" organi-
cation to have a permanent form for the
purpose of educating legislators and voters

postponed on account Of the Oyster Bay
arrangements.
Mr. Wolf was not asked to be present at
the interview at Portsmouth, in which Mr..
kraus figured. because it was arranged in
too great hurry. He received telegram
from Mr.. Kraus to this effect Immediately
after the conference.
As soon as the matter Of peace or war
Is settled by the ENJOYS Mr.. Wolf expects
to receive a lengthy reply from NJ White to
his letter Of August g. which was written
prior to the receipt Of the first telegram
from Mr.. Kraus asking him to 60 to New
York.
Mr.. Wolf is one of the most prominent
Hebrews in this country. He is an ex-
president Of the order Of B'nai Birth and Is
actively engaged in Hebrew affairs Of
various kinds in this country. Speaking OF
the question Of M. Whites influence with
the Russian government in the matter OF
lettering the condition of Russian Jews,
he said to Star reporter:
Il have never said that Russia could not
get money In America unless she appeased
the Hebrews here. But am sure that no
Hebrew in this country will loan the money
unless some assurance Is given that there

EUROPEAN TOURISTS COMING
To See What This Great and Rich
Country Looks Like.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
1t Is gratifying to be informed by the
testimony of hotel men and heads of trunk
line roads that more Europeans than ever
before are visiting the United States this
summer, thus returning the compliment
which Americans have been extending to
the old world ever since the advent of
steam made the ocean passage speedy and
agreeable. The middle west Is said to be
attracting more of these transatlantic WIS.,
itors than ever before. The PHILADELPHIA
exposition of 1876 served to introduce more
foreigners to the United States than any
one previous occasion while those at Chi
cago in 1898 and at st. Louis q year ago
attracted them in still greater numbers
Many of this summers arrivals are booked
for the Portland fair, journey which will
enable them to many sections of this
country we'll worth seeing.
OF course, the balance Of this transat-
lant!c passenger traffic will be against us
dreds of Americans will continue to visit
Europe for one European who comes to the
United States on pleasure. The obvious
reason Is that Europe Is stilf@regarded as
the "old home" of all Americans save those
few who trace their origin to other CONT
nents, and sentimental ties and often those
OF actual relationship draw them to the
mother countries across the sea. AS a
playground and pleasure resort Europe will
always remain attractive to Americana. and
though the United States Is important, X
not necessary, to Europe, its development
has been In the main along those material
lines which the foreign tourist finds not at
tractive.
The European travelling for pleasure Is no
more drawn to American wheat fields, steel
mills coal mines transportation lines
than the American on pleasure bent in Eu-
rope is moved to visit Sheffield or Essen in
stead Of Venice or Dresden. In regard to
natures handiwork America is comparable
with Europe, to say the least, but as re-
trvha M O
works of man the advantage is with Eu-
rope and will long remain SO.
However. the signs referred to are Sig
nificant. Foreign travellers here have found
things worth seeing and telling their friends
at home about. Admiration or interest is
aroused, or perhaps only curiosity piaued,
but at all events the tide OF European
pleasure travel is beginning to set In ms
direction. with the result not to be doubted
that It will continue to rise, to the beneht
of the people of both continents.

Churches Turned Into Inns.

From the London News.
At Great Easton, three miles from Rock
insham station, there is Wesleyan chapel
which is now an inn. When built a stone
was placed over the entrance with the
words inscribed, ITO the Glory of God ;"
and the inscription still remains over the
portal of the licensed premises. At New
castle -under-Lyme, a chapel was built In
1S49, in the time of the Wesleyan reform
movement. which after time became too
small. and larger building some distance
away was bought from the Wesleyans, the
smaller one being sold. After passing
through various hands the former building
Is now licensed house and a music hall.

DEFENDS HIS ACTION.
Deputy Controller Kane on the Devlin
Loans.

T. P. Kane, the deputy controller of the
currency, in speaking of criticisms of west
ern bank examiners in not discovering GER
tain alleged improper loans made to c. ].
Devlin of Topeka, who recently failed
pointed out that there authority in
law to prevent the loans referred to. The
law" said Mr.. Kane prohibits the making
of loans by a national bank to an individ-
ual or firm in excess of 10 per cent of It's
capital stock. In the present case" he
added, Mr.. Devlin was identified with a
number of corporations which borrowed
from Kansas and Illinois banks. Each was
permitted to borrow to the 10 per cent
limit. the fact that the same individual
was at the head of these various organiza-
tons not standing in the way of their Dor
rowing the money"
Mr.. Kane said the controllers Office had
been fully informed of the loans made to
the companies in which Mr.. Devlin was in
terested. In this case, as in others where
a long line of loans to practically the same
end exists, the attention of the bank was
called to the matter. Mr.. Kane continued:
while it is bad banking to loan excess
sively to one interest, ii is not illegal.
1T is the practice of the controllers Of
flee, where excessive accommodations are
found to have been made to one interest, to
require reduction within prudent limits.
That was done in the of the banks
which had exceeded such accommodations
to the Devln companies.
I'm such criticisms have been made In
the present instance the proper distinction
is not drawn between a loan and the dis
count of business commercial paper.
While loans to one individual or firm are
subject to the limit of 10 per cent of the
capital stock of a bank, there is no limit to
the amount of business paper which a bank
may discount. Devlin's liabilities TO the
Topeka bank consisted OF his Endorsement
of business paper of the several coal
pora ti"ns in which he was interested.
Several letters were sent to one of the
Illinois banks which has just closed as the
result of Devlin's failure. The bank exami-
ner reported the excessive loan at once
and the next statement of the bank showed
that the excessive loan had been wiped
out. Two other banks, heavily carrying
Devlin paper, were advised by this office
that they were on the danger line. They
did not reduce the loan. The controller had
done all he could TO correct the abuse in
each or those banks. The examiner had re-
ported there was no failure on his part in
warning them"

PLANNING FOR BIG RACE.
Sysonby-Artful Special May Take
Place Next Monday.

NEW YORK July 1.-THE special race
proposed between the crack three year olds
James r. Keene's Sysonby and Harry
Payne Whitney's Artful, is in allegiance
pending final decision by their trainers but
the prospects for the trial of the two most
conspicuous thoroughbreds in America are
such that c. j. Fitzgerald, the general man
ager of the Brighton Beach Racing Asso-
cations track, is inclined to believe that
the race actually will be run on the sea-
side course next Monday.
Mr.. Fitzgerald after communicating with
both Mr. Keene and Mr. Whitney. yester-
day wrote to John w. Rogers. trainer of
Mr.. Whitney's horses. as Mr.. Whitney left
the matter entirely to the discretion of his
trainer, after making the stipulation that
the special race be at one mile, instead of
ore mile and furlong, as originally pro-
posed
Mr.. Rogers left yesterday with the Whit
ney horses for Saratoga, and so an imme-
date decision could not be obtained from
him. Mr.. Whitney's views of the proposed
special race were conveyed to Mr.. Keene
by Mr.. Fitzgerald. Mr.. Keene offered no
objection to making the race, though he
would not decide until he has heard from
Mr.. Whitney, who Is still out of town.
The proposition for the special race was
put before Mr.. Keene in the light that the
public interest in the horses was such that
a meeting between them on even terms
would be of great benefit to the popularity
of racing. and Mr.. Keene's reply was:
well. If the people want to see them rum
they ought to rum. He would say no more
than that, however. until he had consulte ed
with James Rowe, his trainer, to whom he
put the question as to how soon Sysonby
could be got ready for the special race
by this day next week. was the trainers
answer, and on that Mr.. Fitzgerald bases
his hopes of securing what promises to be
the most widely interesting race of the
year for the Brighton Beach track on next
Monday.
Under the understood conditions, then,
the special race will be at a mile, q
sweepstakes, to which both Sysonby and
Artful must subscribe and start, with the
weights adjusted as in a race at one mile
under the scale. for three-year-olds and
upward. though it is improbable that any
horse other than Sysonby and Artful will
run. This proviso, however, would relieve
the colt and FLY from some of the strain
they would be subject to If they carried
scale weight in a race for three year olds
the arrangement making the weight for Sy-
sonby ia pounds. while Artful, with an
allowance of five pounds for her sex. would
carry 100 None of the persons interested
in the horses would talk of the ma tcfl''
beyond the statements made to Mr.. Fitz-
gerald, but it is expected that all the de-
tails for the race will be arranged today.
