Italy Feels Loss by Emigration.

LONDON, November 1.-THE Rome
correspondent Of the Lance says the last
report OF the war Office on recruit ng
draws attention to the decline in the
physical development and power of the
youth Of Italy. Thirty per cent of the
young men Of twenty years of age We're
rejected as unequal 70 the fatigues of the
military service which are no eater
than those daily undergone by active ci-
villains. The correspondent adds: The
cause. on which nearly all are agreed, Of
this steady drain of the s,news and
and urban, is emigration. "A million of
the most robust of both sexes of the last
decade has been withd avn from the
country. leaving the propagation of the
race To the weaklings left behind. Nor
is the cause a temporary one. Year by
year the outflow. especially in the rural
districts, is on the increase"

TENNESSEE CONSOL IOAIION
BOTH INTERNAL REVENUE
DISTRICTS MERGED INTO ONE.
Statement of Commissioner Capers
as to the Cause.-The Politics in
It Is to Defeat Brownlow.

Prohibition and politics are responsib e
for Tennessee losing one of her internal
revenue districts. Official announcement
attributes the consolidation of both col
lection districts in one to prohibition, but
there is some interesting politics back of
IL all
Tho statement made public Saturday
afternoon at the office of Commissioner
as follows:
Commissioner Capers' Statement.
For the good of the service. and in
the interest of economy, brought about
primarily by the fact that out of the
ninety-S,x counties in the state Of Ten
nessee ninety-two are now prohibiting the
sale of Intoxicating liquors of all kinds, a
careful inquiry has been instituted as TO
existing conditions in the Two lhtefhai
revenue collection districts of that state.
The second district. comprising thirty
six counties of the eastern portion OF
Tennessee at present has five DIVISION
deputy collectors, and the htth district.
composed Of sixty COUNTIES Of middle and
west Tennessee, has SIX division deputy
collectors.
IN the entire ninety-six counties Of the
state in charge of eleven division deputy
electors, there are only torty-nlle gran
distilleries, thirty-six tobacco factories.
thirty-nine cigar factories. four breweIles
and lu4 liquor dealers paying special tax
es. excepting those located in Memphis,
Nashville. Chattanooga and Lafolette, the
only cities where intoxiCants can now be
purchased in the state.
The records in the two collectors Of
fees show that fully ., per cent of the
taxes collected in Tennessee are paid VOL
UNFAIRLY. and might be forwarded, as the
great bulk of them are, directly TO the
Collectors Office, or to one of the stamp
deulities. without any intervention of the
division deputy collector. Especially Is

The Political Side of It.

The political side of it is that the two
both followers of Representative Brown
low. and that the new collector is the Sc
lection of the Sanders EvansHale combi-
nation of republicans. who are committed
TO a delegation to the next republican
national convention for Roosevelt for a
third term The Sanders Evans ale
combination defeated Representative
BrownlOW last year for the control OF the
state organization, and they united in the
request TOR q consolidation of the two col
lection districts. Mr.. BroWnloW never re-
cciVed = more crushing blow in all the
years of his political prominence in Ten
neSSne. Whether the winning Combllla-
zion will now be able to defeat Browniow
for denomination will depend upon the
futurr. Discredited by the national ad-
ministration in a half dozen appointments,
Brownluw will have the tight Of his lite
against inside and outside influence and
pressure So far as he IS ablc 10 do so
he will fight for Il Cannon or Fairbanks
delegation to the national convention.
Another significant feature Of The ap-
pointmont ot Mr.. Sharp is that he is IN

can have M objection. /: s practically

the President will have the delegation,
which will at the same time be made up
largely Of friends of Secretary Cortelyou.

The Reorganization

Uprising Would Fail.

Admiral Wren has dismissed over 1000
out of 5000 men to punish them for their
disorderly conduct Some of the dsband
ed men accepted the governments offer
of a free passage to their villages. but
the majority absolutely refused to leave
Sebastopol, and being deprived of any
means of subsistence are resortlng to
acts of brigandage and terrorism. 1t Is
needless to add that the remaining labor
force of 800 men is quite inadequate to
carry out the upkeep and repairs of the
ships of the Black sea feet. which are
actually going to rack and ruin
The revoIutionaries hope to win over the
garrison and the sailors of the fleet. Ger
tainly there is much disaffect:on not only
among the men, but the officers also. But
the revolutionaries have no real leader.
and wel-informed men think that any
rising at Sebastopol is doomed to failure
and will be crushed amid the usual scenes
OF b.oodshed
Hooliganism is still rampant here in
Odessa. The admission of Jews to the
university has been limited still further.
1t is announced from kutais that twenty
seven "Doliticals have succeeded in ef
fecting their escape from the prison there
by means of an underground tunned. 100
yards long, which they had constructed
to a house occupied by two girl revolu
tionists. The latter have also disap-
peared.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
ODESSA, November 1.-THE condition
of affairs in the great fortress of Sebasto-
pol Is deplorable and further outbreaks
are feared. Murders and robberies under
arms are Of daily occurrence, and hardly
a tithe of them are recorded or punished
Backmail has been highly organized ano
is now working systematically. All the
farms and plantations for many miles
around Sebastopol have to pay heavily
for some sort of immunity from violence
and pillase. Resistance to the demands
of the blacknaling bands means death.
Nor do the victims of terrorism dare to
complain. The authorities are powerless.
and the resulting state of confusion is alb
solutely disastrous
The comma nderin-chief. Admiral Wren,
is close prisoner in his own palace, and
is kept under the stricteSt surveillance.
He is in constant danger of incurring the
same fate as his unhappy predecessor,
Admiral Tchouknire. DiSaffection is rife
in the army and navy. The police are
paralyzed by the constantly recurring as
sassinatons of their officials and men.
One powerful factor In the present state
of lawlessness in Sebastopol is the whole
sale dismissal of the dockyard laborerS.

The vote for President in the five

WASHINGTON MAY 60 DRY.
Anti-Saleon League Will Try To Garry
Congress Bv Assault.

A dry Washington looms before
the helpless people of the Capitol
The Pr0hibitionists of the country
are girding up their loins for an as
sault on Congress at the forthcom-
ing session to compel it to enact
a statue forbidding the manufac-
ture and sale of Intoxicating liquors
in the District of Columbia.
The girding has been going On
for a long time, but the people of
Washington have only become a.
ware of the fact within the last ten
days. The Prohibitionists are way
ing the big stick.
A prohibition bill would have
been reported from the Committee
on Alcoholic Liquor Traffic last
winter but for the frmness of
Speaker Cannon, who also swung
the big stick and intimidated the
members of that Committee. But
now the prohibition folks have
things in such sharp that that the
Speaker cannot hope to be sue
cessful again with such tactics.
Their national organization, the
Anti-S Saloon League, has got
things so that it can threaten politi-
cal death to members whose activ.
ity blocks the path of the bill.
The people of Washington have
no say on the subject. They can
deliver no votes anywhere. Ninety
nine per cent. of the members of
the House heretofore have meekly
done the bidding of the League be.
cause the League has shown in a
number of instance sthat it con-
trolls the balance of power between
the two parties. 1t converted a
Republican majority of 225, 900 in
Ohio in 1904 to Democratic ma
jority Of 40, 900.
There is probably more drinking
among the members of the fair sex
in Washington than in any other
city in the country. The influence
of society is all in favor of the
drinking, the members of the
Diplomatic Corps and the foreign
ers generally, being OF the higher
classes, setting the example The
members of the League and the
w. c. T. U. have taken note of
the fact that resorts in and around
Washington where no liquors are
sold have died lingering deaths,
while resorts where liquor is sold
have flourished.
1t is believed that President
Roosevelt would veto a plain
prohibition bill. while he probably
would sign an appropriation bill
on which there was a prohibition
rider 1t is in the form OF rider
to an appropriation bill that the
matter is likely to come before
them.
Representative Craig of Selma,
Ala, one Of the new class of politi
clans in that old State, has an
nounced that he will introduced
prohibition bill. Congressman
from the cities are about the only
ones who will dare vote against
the Craig bill
