have been retained in service beyond the
regulation term and 4 number Of cadets
who failed to pass the examinations got
commissions. Norway placed large orders
for ammunition in England.

There was practically no damage but plenty
OF excitement.

A legislative committee is engaged
in making an investigation into the
dispensary system, or state manage
ment of the liquor business, in South
Carolina. Much sensational testimony
has been brought out Mr.. Tatum.
one of the dispensary commissioners,
testified that case goods in bottle were
not analysed, and gave opportunity for
fraud. The law requiring all goods
to be analysed was an absurdity, the
| witness said, as every bottle would
have to be opened, and this would
require entirely too large a force. F.
NJ Nilsson, who was commissioners in
| 1895, two years after the law went
into effect, testified that he demanded
per cent rebates from every whisky
concern from which he purchased
liquor. During his eleven months
incumbency he said these rebates
amounted to $4,000, which was turned
over to the state treasurer. When
asked what inducements, If any, had
ever been offered him to buy certain
brands of whisky, the witness said
several houses had offered himAbribes
to favor certain goods. Witness swore
that S. J. Lanahan of the firm of
William Lanahan & Sons of Baltimore
had offered him $4,000 for portion
!; of the dispensary business for his
, firm.

What promises to develop into a
scandal in the customs division OF
the treasury department in connec-
ton with the importation of Cuban
tobacco and the loss of several hun
dred thousand dollars in government
revenue is now under investigation.
Secretary Shaw and Assistant Secre-
tary Reynolds are both away from
their Offices, but dispatches say that
when they return an official statement
is expected. This investigation grows
out Of the peculiar circumstances in
connection with the shipment of a
large quantity of Cuban tobacco from
Havana to New York via Tampa, Fla.
The real point involved is that the
tobacco was imported as filler, on
which the duty is 80 cents pound,
while it is really wrapper, on which
the duty is $1.05 pound.

has been reported. 1t is thought that
it is due to green vegetables from

The surgeons of the board OF health
state that the disease is not serious

The agitation for the opening of the
frontiers to the free importation OF
meat and live animals has taken the
form of Geographic appeals by associa-
tons and municipalities to chancellor
Won Buelow, especially from Thurin-
gia, where prices are alleged to be
40 per cent higher than formerly.
There seems no doubt that the price
of meat has risen 40 per cent during
the last ten years and from 20 to 30
per cent within year, but those who
are investigating the situation are
divided as to the causes-whether the
increases are attributable partly to the
generally increasing scale of living, or
altogether to the customs duties and
the sanitary barriers to the importa-
ton of meats and live animals.
