City Attorney F. D. CULKIN, of Oswego has
advised Mr.. PITTS that the mayor has reconsid-
cred his decision, and that he will convene the
common council Tuesday night and recount the
Fifth ward vote, and include the II Prohibtio1(
votes which were ignored, provided Mr. PIrrs
will commence action against them in the
meantime
These fights in the courts for party rights are
fights for the rights of every Prohibitionst in
New York state, whose rights heretofore have
been trampled upon with mpunity in every part
of the state, and every Prohibitionist should
willingly aid in the expense of the fight which
will cost some hundreds of dollars before it is
finished To "lie down" means loss of thousands
of future officials and loss of best leverage with
which to secure local support and local workers
in the state. The fight must be pushed through

THE NATIONAL pRoH1B1T1oN1sr

An increase in the price of beer already has
been made in Wisconsin and action is likely to
be taken soon in other states.
The sentiment seemed to be strongly in favor
of the breweries joining hands with the so-called
conservative temperance element in order to Sc
cure what was termed the orderly and law-abid-
ing saloon. Many of the liberal-minded brewers
said this was the only way to avert a continued
growth of the Prohibition wave and the over
whelming of the saloon business

FRANTIC FOR REFORM
Big Brewers in Conference in New York
Propose to Make bad" Saloons the Jonah
to Save the Liquor Business-Only
Way to Stay Prohibition Wave

New YORK, Dec. ga Press Dispatch. y
Ways and means to combat the Prohibition
wave that is sweeping the country were dis
cussed here yesterday at a meeting of brewers
representing all sections of the United States
No secret is made by the brewery interests that
unless something is done to check the local op-
ton sentiment it means the loss of business in
territory heretofore considered by liquor men to
be nvulnerable
The representatives to the conference discussed
at length the policy to be pursued in meeting the
growth of the Prohibition sentiment, and the
view was expressed generally that the dive and
the low saloon should be wiped out 1t is their
theory that these are responsible for much of the
animus against the liquor traffic, and as they are
the notorious violators of the law it is decreed
that they be destroyed
The leading brewers said in many big cities
where the local option sentiment is also growing
that the people had cause for complaint in the
grog shops which made no pretense of obeying
the Sunday closing law or any other statutes
enacted for the purpose of controlling the traf-
TIC One brewer suggested an organized cam
paign on the part of the breweries to prosecute
all dives as an essential part of the fight to make
the liquor business harmonic with their ideas of
saloon ethics.
The conference discussed at length the ques-
ton of raising big defense fund-some ia
vored 100000. Some of the brewers advocated
even a larger fund. There was long debate on
whether the price of beer should be increased
FIVE or ten cents key. An increase of five cents
key would produce fund of $3,OOO,0OO The
majority seemed to favor an increase of tel
cents key, so as to get fund of $6,OOOOOO.

MOROCCAN PORTS CALM.
General Drude's Force Sufficient
The German Note.

Paris Sept 10 - Premier Clemenceau an
nOunCed tonight that the situation in Morocco
was calm No further reinforcements. he said
would be sent to General Drude. that officer
having intimated that the force at his disposal
was adequate and having refused additional
squadron of cavalry which it was proposed to
send him.
Although France and Span have scrupulously
avoided taking sides in the struggle for the
SuItanship of Morocco. there are indications that
they feel that Abd-el-Aziz has more followers
than his brother. Mulai Hahg. Premier Clemen-
ceau said to-day that he had particular reasons
for believing that Abd-eI-Aziz would go to
Rabat. and that he had been reliably informed
that Mulai Hafg's popularity was on the wane
among the trfbesmen who had previously sworn
allegiance to him.
The government expects that the French COM
rnander will assume the offensive as soon as ne
RECEIVERS his health 1t is added that the gen
erals condition is not serious.
The wording of Germany's formal note of
acceptance Of the proposed Francois Spanish mill
tary policing of Moroccan ports as a substitute
for the Moorish police prescribed in the Alge-
cfras agreement calls forth varying and some
caustic comment from the French press. The
semi-oficial Temps considers the reply cour-
teous and satisfactory. even if it contains some
reservations. After pointing out that Germany
expresses the desire that the grave damages re-
suting to the commerce of Casablanca should
not occur at other ports, the Temps remarks:
If this is a reproach intended for US II Is un-
Inerited. The people who complain Of the bonn
bardment would have run a great risk Of losing
even the possibility OF complaining If our can
non had not protected them" The Temps be-
Iieves that enough troops will be sem 10 Mo-

Successful Trip of Ne50 Military
Balloon at Fdrnborough.

Farnborough. England. Sept. 10-The hrst
military dirigible balloon built IN TINS country
made two trial trips to-day, and with the eA-
ception of a slight hitch caused by the nreaklHs
of belt of the machinery driving the cooling
fan the airship appears TO have answered ah
the expectations of its inventors
The recent successes of French and German
army airshfps have awakened great interest in
England on the subject of aerostatCs. Reports
of the trials TO be held to-day leaked out, and
tho military authorities, who have steadily
been irving to myst!fy the public, found them
selves Obliged to carry out the trials IN lhe
presence of several hundred people. III 'iio

formation on the novel points OF the oailooi'
construction.
The English airship proved itself capaoie oL
being easily handled able to travel with and
against the wind. and. most important of ALL
capable of being steered. The balloon was IN
charge of Colonel Capper, Captain King ana
r s Cody the American who has spent a
number of years in the British service In charge
of the kite section of the army After making
a semicircIe Of about two miles around Farn-
horough and Cove Common. an accident oc-

the efrship carried eight hundred pounds, the
balloon settled down near SoIle tACSS- AA'0 ~

easily 10 remedied.
The wind blew at the rate Of fifteen miles an
hour during the trip. and the airship had no
difficulty in navigating against IT. She rode
gently like a vessel in a seaway- The machlne'
responding to the movements Of the canvas,
saiilika rudder. travelled in wide circle OF
about two miles in circumference at the rate OF
shou+ FIVE miles an hour. She had almost COM
n1etad the circle when the engines stopped SUD
denly owing TO the breaking of a belt ana tne
shin settled down gradually drifting periousiy

naars rushed up in the nick of time and. seiz-

At the second trial the machinery worheo

were performed land the ship completed a three

She then descended not far from her shed
This new airship is a sausage shaped balloon

the carriage of a crew of three men OF average
weight The car is shaped like boat, and built
of aluminium and canvas. The petroleum for

NEU CHINESE MINISTER.
Liang Tun Yuen Coming Here
Mann Officials Cashiered.

Peking Sept 1O-The aggressive influence OF
Yuan Shi Kai was further demonstrated to-day.
IJang Tun Yuen, one of Yuan Shl hals men,
has been appointed Minister TO Washington and
made an acting member of the Wai-Wai-Pu. or
Board OF Foreign Affairs. Many officials have
been cashiered because of their denunciation by
Yuan Shi Kali who is fortifyng his position be-
fore the arrival here of Chang Chi Tung-
Washington. Sept 1O.-On April % last the
Chinese Minister here. Sir Chentung LANG
Cheng. was informed of the purpose of his gov
ernnent to recall him to China TO take up a
most in the Chinese Foreign Office and that he
would be succeeded in Washington by LianS
Tun Yuen. So If the latter owes his appoint
ment 10 Washington to Yuan Shi Kai as re-
ported from Peking. the inference is that the
present upheaval in the court circle is the work.
ing out of plans formed months ago.
Tiorg run Yuen the new minister, was the
Chinese customs taotai at Tien-Tsin, and is
understood to he one of the trusted lieutenants
of Yuan Shi Kai. who has come to be regarded
as the successor of Ii Hung Chang as dictator
of the destiny Of China. LANG speaks English
perfectly. being a graduate of Yale and 1t is be-
lieved was chosen by Yuan Shi Ka to be min
lister at Washington because he has most ad
vanced ideas and is therefore likely to be of the
greatest help to his chief in selecting for intro
duction into China such features of modern
American civilization and governmental meth
DDS as seem best adapted to the needs of the
new element In the court which is seeking to
form China.
1t is intimated that while the Chinese govern
ment was much gratitied with the reception ac-
corded to the two commissions composed of high
mobiles which ast spring visited Europe and
America little material profit followed from
these trips Either from lack of powers of OBJ
scrvation or because they were more attracted
to the social side, the members of the commits
sions did not obtain specific information relative
to American and European methods of admins
tration which would enable the Crown to choose
reforms Hence the decision was reached to
make use of the services of China's resident min
listers TO gather such information, and the u
thorities at home confirmed in this decision

seryation who came laden with the result of
