AIDS AT WHITE HOUSE
ON THE ANXIOUS SEAT

7 T his own request, 1t is said, Lieut..
i Philip H. Sheridan has been re-
lieved as military aid at the white
house and returned to active service
in his regiment, as he is desirous of
working out his future in the army
as a soldier in the field rather than
enjoying the life of comparative idle
ness at Washington.
Lieut.. Sheridan was one of the
most popular aids at the white house
during the last two seasons. and it
was understood among his many
friends that he would be enabled to
retain the choice social position
throughout the coming season. Re-
Gently, however, it developed that
pressure was being brought by friends
of other young officers to land the
White House detail for them, and 1t
is thought possible that the president
may have decided upon a change in
order to give others an opportunity
to shine at the executive mansion. In
this connection II is now rumored that
a number of other officers will be re-
lieved of the White House detail and

OF the ten White House aids of last
season 1t is now understood in mill
tary and naval circles that it is doubt

The rilief of Sheridan. following
that of Lieut.. U. s. Grant III last sea-
son, breaks up the trio combination
of the three sons of noted civil war
generals who surrounded the president
at his social functions, Lee being the
only one now retained. The White
House aids last season, in addition to
Col. Bromwell, Capts. Mccoy and Lee
and Lieut.. Sheridan, were: Capt. Ar

Strikers are Weakenina.

Cleveland, Oct. S.-The strike of
the telegraphers will probably end, in
Cleveland, at least, Thursday of this
week, when the strikers will return to
work. Overtures were made Monday
by the strikers with a view to ending
the strike. A request was sent to j.
e. Mattern, local leader of the strike,
for permission to return to work on
Thursday. 1t is said by persons inter-
ested in the strike that If permission
is not given by the strike leaders the
men will go back of their own accord,
and Thursday morning has been set
as the time for resumption of work.

CONGRESS MAY SHAKE
UP THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC

1t has, they say, been nullifying the
state laws in two ways. The offense
of which most complaint is made is
that of permitting the shipment of
liquor in unbroken packages from one
state in the dry" territory of an
other state.
1t is also asserted that the federal
government is directly antagonizing
states by licensing the sale of liquor
in territory that has been made dry
under state laws. In its anxiety to
swell it's internal revenue receipts, it
is alleged, the government, through
its internal revenue department, is
constantly recognizing the lawless
liquor element by issuing government
licenses.
The fight of the session will center
around the bill giving state control OF
interstate shipments of liquor into
dry" territory when they reach the
state border, but the temperance
forces may go further and demand
that the federal governments internal
revenue department shall not issue a
government license to any person who
has not first complied with all the re-
Quirements of the state law governing
the sale of intoxicating liquors. The
movement, in short, is to bring the
federal government to the support of
the states in the effort that is being
made everywhere for the better regu-
lation and control of the liquor traffic.

but the National Association of Brew

in blocking its passage.

states lately is to get national shak-

At the coming session the Anti-Sa-

which has become a powerful organi-
cation, will make strenuous effort
to get legislation through. The league
believes the time is ripe for the long
delayed federal legislation. With the
fight against the liquor power raging
successfully in more than half the
states in the union, the league officers
feel encouraged to believe that con-

The states are doing handsomely,

the temperance fight before congress

the federal government been doing?
