CITY OF MEXICO, May 9.-The
temperance question has entered into
the plans for Fourth OF July cole
bration here. and has caused much
bitter feeling among members OF the
American colony. The ministers and
other temperance people in the colony
captured the meeting recently held
to arrange for the celebration and
passed resolution prohibiting the
sale OF Intoxicating liquors.
The "wets" in the colony promptly
rebelled, held mass meeting and
took steps for a rival celebration.
However, through the efforts of Am
bassador Thompson compromise
has been effected, and there will be
but one celebration. Beer and wine
win be sold, but whiskey, brandy, gin
and other distilled liquors will be pro
hibited.
The temperance members of the
colony were greatly shocked at some
features of the Fourth of July cele-
bration last year. One of these was
champagne duel between a high
government official and a prominent
woman of the colony. The duel was
fought by pulling corks. placing fin
gers over the mouths OF the bottles
and squirting the precious liquor oven
each other. After several quarts ol
champagne had been wasted the gov
ernment official made an undignified
escape.

fired. and ever after that he prided
himself on this distinction.
