THE story that 1 have granted the
Stanley Dollar clearance is quite in
correct" said Customs Collector Stack
able. District Attorney Breckons and
l went over the law very thoroughly
last night again and acting under his
advice 1 have refused clearance on
the ground that the ship does not COM
ply with the regulations. What is to
de done now? Well, don't know I'm
sure That is a matter for the steam
ship people to settle. 1 was told that
they were going to take mandamus
proceedings for the purpose of COM
pelling me to issue clearance papers
but up to the present 1 have heard
nothing official on that point"
The paragraph of the regulations
with which the Stanley Dollar does
not comply is understood to be that
which refers to the inspection of pas

and boilers.

Well, the climate is pretty bad but
that there is money up here is beyond

tail Saloons


Judge John Day Smith yesterday took
under advisement the application of sew
eral saloonkeepers who seek to enjoin
Mayor Jones and other city officers from
issuing a license to Charles r. Sehrapps.
a caterer on Sixth street. on the ground
that the city council in granting the Ii
cense violated the state. law. which for
bids more than five saloons in any block
on the boundary of the patrol limits.
Judge John H. Steele represented the
rival saloon men. and City Attorney
Healy~appeared for the mayor and city
officers. A y. Jackson made the argu-
ments for Schrapps.
The city attorney contended that while
the city council had a right to limit the
number of saloons the state law in ques-
ton was special legislation and uncon-
stitutional, for il applies to but one block
In the state of Minnesota. Judge Steele
held that the law was police regulation
and its enactment was within the power
of the legislature.
Some years ago the council refuSed TO
grant an additional license in this block,
although at the time the city attorney
held that it had power to do so regardless
of the state law.
No matter how the court decides there
will be an appeal to the supreme court,
for the rival Saloonkeepers are deter
mined that Mr.. Schrapps shall purchase
his supplies from them and not serve
them from his own stock. 1t Is pecu-
MARY and not sentimental reason that
actuates them in seeking TO curtail the
number of saloons in Minneapolis.

sian squadron. The Novoe Vremya
says that the vessels of all nations are
observing neutrality with the excep-
ton, of course. of Great Britain" The
paper takes particular exception to the
fact that the British cruiser Iphigenia
transmitted by wireless telegraphy the
information that she had passed Ad-
miral Rojestvensky's squadron 140
miles from Saigon, which was very i'm
portant news to the japanese. mas
much as Rojestvensky had succeeded
In slipping by the Japanese scouts.
For a commercial ship TO report
such fact upon arrival at a port is
quite natural says the Novoe Vremya,
but IT is not so important, as the news
is then more or less old, and in the
meantime the squadron might have
changed its course. but for a man of
war TO send such information to a
coast station by wireless telegraphy is
unfriendly. However, this is not the
first time the British have conveyed a
valuable warning to their friends. Dur
ing the China-Japanese war when
Great Britain was on the side of China
British cruiser at Weihaiwei warned
the Chinese admiral by firing a salute
upon the approach of the japanese
fleet, although at night, when it is not
the custom to salute in that fashion.

Witte Is Disheartened

ST. PETERSBURG, April I'm.
Witte, president of the committee of
ministers, has definitely decided to give
up all work and go abroad The last
straw was the imperial rescript ad-
dressed Thursday to Interior Minister
Bouligan, creating a special commits
sion TO discuss questions relating to
peasant tenure of lands and the aboli-
ton of the peasant commission over
which NJ. Witte presided. The emperor
took the step without even apprising
Nj. W1tte of his intention. The menu
bers Of the Witte commission were ac-
tually at work Thursday evening and
woke up yesterday TO find the COM
mission out OF existence. NJ. Witte at
tributes the emperor's action 10 court
intrigue directly aimed against him.
self and yesterday informed his friends
that he was completely disheartened
and discouraged, no longer able to en-
dure the humiliations heaped upon him
and that he would leave all and go
abroad for a time.
The Slovo has received its first warn
ing for the publication OF articles en-
titled The Bureaucracy" and The
War and Reform" in which the paper
severely arraigned the competency of
the bureaucracy and the general staff
and the war office.
NJ. Whites antagonists at court
where their influence was greatly fear
ed by NJ. Witte, were effectively rein
forced by part of the old Won Plehve
cabal headed by NJ. Sturmer, formerly
under secretary of the interior, and NJ.
Stichinsky, former chief adjutant of the
interior department. who were forced
out of the ministry of the interior by
former Interior Minister Sviatopolk-
Mirsky, and they have wreaked their
vengeance on their ancient chief
enemy, NJ. Witte. The latter went to
Tsarskoe Selo yesterday and Informed
the emperor that ii was quite plain
that q plot against him existed and
that he desired TO retire. The emperor,
however, is understood to have de-
clined again 10 accept the minister's
resignation.

Ross, another former clerk and alleged
associate. who has been convicted OF a
similar offense and who is awaiting sem

Rogers created a sensation at the coun-
ty jail some time ago. A certain man
found a letter which he had written 10
his wife. He started posthaste 10 the
county jail and asked permission TO see
Rogers. The jailor informed him that
Rogers was at that time in conference
with his wife in the library OF the jail.
When the door opened later the business
man met his own wife at the threshold.
There was something of a scene and the
woman's visits were forbidden In the fu-
ture and Rogers mail scrutiniZed closely
