BARRED FRO MsucCEss1oN.

An act of the legislature is being
sought in Germany to exclude from
succession to the duchy Of Coburg-
Gotha the British crown for British
princes who stand next in line of sue
cession. The fact is announced in a
special dispatch from Gotha to the
Frankfurter Zeitung Of October 10.
which has just beer received here.
The dispatch reads:
Never. perhaps. has all act Of the
legislature received such unanimous
approval throughout the entire coun-
try as the resolution unanimously
adopted by the landtag at the sugges-
ton of President Liebetrau to request
the government Of the state to frame
a law amending the existing law so
that subjects of states outside of Ger
many may be excluded from success
sion to the throne.
This resolution with its conse-
quences is directed against English
royalty. When in 1893 Duke Ernst
II. Of Coburg and Gotha died without
male heirs. the succession to the
throne fell to his brother Albert, in
the case of both duchies.

The Markets 4
SHIPMENTS VERY
HEAVY TODAY

Minneapolis, Dec. 3.-December
wheat closed at 1.13 or 7-s cents low
er. May wheat closed at III $40
rs, or. 3-4 cents lower.
The market opened firm and about
1-2 cen higher and ruled steady for
a while, afterwards turning weak
and the decline was not checked until
the market was down l 1-4@s-s cent
for the May with the final figures at
the low point of the day.
Clearances of wheat and -four were
extremely heavy. the total equalling
1,747.00O bushels but the market
weakened even in the face Of this.
The Liverpool market opened I'D
higher for wheat which was the only
quotation received from there.
A few showers were reported in tho
American winter wheat territory. To-
tai stocks in Duluth of wheat $780,
900 bushels. showing a decrease of
$4,000 bushels. Broomhall cabled
that irmness in Liverpool was due to
fears of lighter shipments from the
Argentine for this week.

BULLS MORE NUMEROUS.

Chicago-Wheat bulls were more
numerous at the close yesterday. They
said hat continued falling off in re-
ceipts n the steady buying for ex.
port is making a stronger situation
that will result in higher prices. Sew
eral of h conservative traders said
the market acted as though scoring
for an advance. Several of the big
operators have assumed a trading po-
sition and say they do not look for
the market to move far from present
basis in the next few days.
A number of large cash handlers
who have been bearish on corn of late
were more friendly to the buying side
yesterday. They look for lighter re-
ceipts and a better cash demand.

PROHIBITIONS WEAK SPOT.
Maine Is Classic Example of Failure
of State Wide Law.

New York Tribune.)
1t is, Of course, the height of folly
to argue against prohibition on the
ground that the liquor habit is not a
deplorable scourge. It is that, and

more. as one Of the most eloquent
documents on the subject, .penned by
the prisoners of the Eastern peni-
tentiary, Pennsylvania, attests. In
an entirely voluntary petition 70 per
cent Of the 1,478 convicts in this pen
itentiary blame their downfall on al
cohol and call upon the next Penn
wide prohibition. Perhaps never be-
fore has the drink evil received a
more emphatic and convincing con-
demnation.
But while there can hardly be two
opinions about the cure Of rum there
can be and is very decided difference
Of opinion about the remedy. The
whole subject of excise legislation is a
remarkably intricate one, but If there
is one lesson from past experience
which seems more clearly defined
than any other it is that state wide
prohibition does not prohibit.
Maine is the classic example Of the
failure Of statewide prohibition.
There for over generation visitors
have exclaimed over the public spec
tacles of drunkenness practically un-
rivaled elsewhere. The explanation is
simple enough. The prohibitory law
has made it not impossible, but diff
cult and little dangerous to get
liquor there. The tippler gets it,
therefore, less frequently, but when
he does get it 1t is in larger quantity
and of a quality little short Of pure
poison. And he is tempted to drink it
all at a sitting.
The illicit liquor traffic in Maine is
confined almost entirely to the larger
cities and towns because they offer
greater opportunity of hiding it. But
Maine has an urban population many

Henry Irving, in his early days, once
played a part which in the first act
called for a dark stage. In this dark
ness he fought with an old earl, threw
him heavily, and. when he did not rise
after the loud thud of his fall, Irving
would cry out:
Great heavens! What have
done?" One night he played this part
in a small English town. A stage
hand was very much impressed with
the play and to him the scenes quick
ly became real. So that when Irving
reached the climax, felled the old real

he was startled to hear the stage hand
