As ''sanctified saloon" the Subway
Tavern which was opened with an address
by Bishop Potter and the singing OF the
DoxoIogy. closed its doors last midnight
for the last time. Today, few hours
after Its opening for business. 1t proprietor,
Joseph Johnson, jr, will sign 1t over to w.
G. Skidmore manager OF a restaurant IN
the basement Mr.. Skidmore will take out
the water wagon" sign and. after extern
sive alterations, will run the place as an
ordinary saloon.
While all those connected with the estab-
lishment who could be seen last night were
reticent concerning the change, Mr.. Skid
more and several employees in the tavern
explained that there had not been sufficient
income from sales to pay running eX-
penses. Instead Of the men who estab-
lished the tavern drawing a per cent
dividend, as they expected, 1t was said last
night, In the last six months they had been
compelled often to go down into their
pockets to make good deficit that they
had become tired and wished to be rid OF
the tavern entirely.
Mr.. johnson first denied the report of the
change He said there simply was to be a
change In management, and that the busi-
ness would be conducted Just as since the
establishment of the tavern. Mr.. Skidmore.
he said, had all the Information concerning
the change.

Schwartz. proprietors of the Pilsner Brew
ing Company. Il shall change the name

will remodel it. take down the water wagon
sign, abolish the library and put the bar
In front" He was heard to remark as the
reporters left him: 1T is not good plan
to follow the Lord and chase the devil,
too"
When the tavern was opened, in October,
1904 IL was announced that the manage
ment of the tavern would sell nothing but
pure liquors. One room was fitted up with
a soda fountain, where women might be
served with beer.

Blocker and Mulberry streets. Behind 1t
was smaller room where magazines and
newspapers were kept on file. The bar and
cigar counter We're behind this room. The
outer walls OF the building were painted
some months ago with texts of Scripture
and highly colored signs advertising the ex-
cellence of the tavern. In the basement
was rathskeller where luncheon was
served at noon.
Not long before midnight policeman
entered the tavern and demanded the
license which IL was said had not been in

Leading Position of This Country.

The leading position OF the United States
IN Japanese foreign commerce is seen from
the fact that this country furnished 22.4
per cent of the total imports during the
first six months of 1905, as compared with
1iT per cent of the total imports during
the same period of 1904. and Is credited
with PSI per cent OF the total domestic
exports. compared with 291 per cent OF
the total domestic exports for 1904.

best sign of industrial growth and expau-

Increases are shown by raw cotton. the i'm

value. and by manufactures of iron and

The only articles of Importance the i'm
ports of which show decreases are coal
sugar and kerosene oil. The decrease in
sugar Is most striking. and is probably due
chiefly to the higher import duties imposed

-. THREAD OF NOPE SNAPPED.
Russia Loses Heart I'm Linavitch,
who Ia a BOaster.

st. Petersburg, June 24.-The thread
of hope to which Russia has been
clinging desperately for the last few
weeks-the hope that Gen. Linevitch
might give Russia at least one victory
out Of the war-has apparently
snapped and the city is fearfully await
ing the news of the worst.
No attempt is made to conceal the
fact at the war Office that Oyama's
strategy is beyond the Russian officials.
The Japanese have stopped their ad-
vance, and are resting after having
cleared out their immediate front and
driven the Russians back.
At this time the record of Gen. Line
witch is being reviewed, and it is not
reassuring. 1t is recalled that in 1900
Linevitch sent wierd accounts to the
war department of imaginary battles
and at one time reported the loss of 500
men from a company of 200. His re-
cent boastfulness and scorn of the
Japanese generals. and their strategy
has not tended to elevate him in the
opinion of the students OF the war
game.

WARRANT FRAUDS
No Further Payments Will Be
Made Until Extent of For
geries Is Known.
MEN HIGH up are SAID TO Be
INVOLVED IN The SCANDAL
Nearly One Hundred Thousand Dol
lars of the Spurious Warrants, 1t
Is Said, Are Held BY st. Louis and
Missouri Bankers and Trust Com
panies.

Washington, June 25.-Tnformatton
received at the department of the in
terror by Secretary Hitchcock from
Ardmore, I. T., indicates that the
Chickasaw warrant frauds which the
federal grand jury is investigating are
growing to large proportions
Already they run up over 100000,
and more cases are to be investigated
by the grand jury,
A big batch of indictments have been
found, the secretary is informed, by
his agents on the ground, who are as
sisting in unearthing the frauds, and
these include a number of men high up
in the councils of the territory, aud
some prominent servants of the Unit
ed States government.
No further payment will be made on
the Chickasaw warrants until the full
extent of the frauds has been discov-
cred.
Arrests are hourly expected under
the indictments found, but it may be
that this will not be done pending the
hearing of other cases.
The indictments found, it is reported
to Mr.. Hitchcock, are based on an al
legged reissue of school and genera
fund warrants. 1t was expected tina
Kirby Purdon, the fugitive banker o
Tishomingo, would be indicted, but /
was not expected that the grand jur!
would be able to reach the men highe
up in the way they have.
The investigation, which has result
ed in the indictments, was instigatet
by Secretary Hitchcock, who, suspect
ing that there was something wrong
held up payment on the warrants AM
sent agents to work in conjunction
with the officers of the department O
Justice in ferreting out the fraud.

rants are held by st. Louis and Mis-
