LIQUOR LICENSES.

Liquor license money will for the
most part pay the salaries of Governor
Mann and the othar State officials and
keep up the hospitals and schools sup
ported by the Commonwealth for the
next few months. At the Office of the
Auditor OF Public Accounts in Richmond
il Is estimated that fully $1,000. 900 will
be received during this month from H.
cenfes of all kinds, and of this amount it
is thought that perhaps $500, 900 will
come from State licenses on the manu-
factu,e and sale of Intoxicating liquors.
This business was regarded by the
legislature at the recent session as being
one of the most feasible subjects for al
ditional taxation. The new Byrd law
largely increased the license tees. The
retailllicense price was raised from $3.50
to $3.50, but this applied to probably only
small percentage of dealers. In these
days a great percentage of each liquor
merchants business is in shipments to
dry territory, and to reach this trade the
speaker created new class Of license,
known as retail and shippers, at price
of ST., 900 year to the State.

Treaty Signed,

Washington, May 5.-Secretary KICK
and Ambassador Bryce exchanged graft
fcations today on the iu!erns tioual
waterways treaty, covering the use of
the boundary waters between the United
States and Canada. The treaty was
negotiated by Secretary Root assisted
by Chandler P. Anderson as specia,
couocil and was approved by the Sem
ate on March 8 of list year. A pro-
viso wss added, however, regard
Ing the use of tae waters at the
rspids OF the Ssult St. Msrie. THIS
led to complications subsequently SET
tied by the action of the United States
in acquiring the property By condemns
ton proceedings. The treaty therefore
goes into effect in Its original form.
The treaty confers on beth coun :.
tries mu usl rights OF free navigation,
1t gives the residence ol either eide OF
the boundary The same remedies In the
court OF each country. 1t fixes a limit
on the amount OF water that may be
diverted from Nisgars river on either
side Tor power purposes, in:u;iug the
preservation oil the scenic grsuduer OF
the falls during the life Of the treaty.
1t sgrees on al equitable division OF the
waters of ST. Mary and Milk rivers
partly 10 Canada and partly ip MoDtsns.
1t provides the International joint COM
mission with power to decide all 4u s.
tions concerning the use ard diversion
OF boundary waters thus creating prscti-
cally q tribunal OF arbitrstion for the
sttslement OF differences between the
United States and Canada. The treaty
will remain in force for years and
therest.er until terminsted By u months

mept.

WHEN President Taft returns u
Washington, 1t Ia said that he will be
advised by number OF his stancnest
supporters in Congress to abandon all
hope of securing the enactment OF the
measures on his legislative programme
and to sanction the prompt passage OF
the few remsipipg appropriation bills
and the immediate adjournment of Con-
gress, to be followed by 40 appeal to the
voters to decide between The administra-
ton, standing squarely on the republic
can platform, aud a coalition OF insur-
eert, and democrats which has made
impossible the enactment of any impor-
tant legislation. Some of the presidents
supporters 10 Gong ress will tell him that
il may be possible to secure the enact
mert Of the mere shell of an interstate
commerce bill, WITH all its vital proVl'
slons eliminst.d, end possibly ore or two
other measures on the programme. All
will admit, however, the impoasibllity OF
enac!ing any thing like an adequate inter-
state commerce bill aod the great i'm
probability of securing the enactment o.
auy of the other measures to Which Mr..
TAFT stands specially committed. 1t 10
frankly admitted by leaders IN both
houses OF Congress that In neither house
is there republican msjor;ty todsy.
The leaders are wholly discouraged aud
dishesrtened aud they can foresee moth
ipp but iptsrninsble defeat ahead, With
no commensurate return for the effort
expended. The in,urgents are convinced
inst they are adding to their personal
prestige and promoting their individual
political fortunes BY siding With the
democrats against Mr.. TAFT aud bis ad-
ministration.
