Proposed Law Will Be Brought Up
for Action Tuesday-Papers At
tack New Plan.
BY LAWRENCE ELSTON.

London, April 3O.-Marked differ
enceS of opinion developed today over
the governments measure for lessen
/ ing the consumption of liquor. Pro-
hibiton leaders declare the imposi-
ton of a heavy tax "a sop thrown to
the interests which have brought a
| curse upon England" They assert
| that the burden of the tax will be
borne by the women and children who
have suffered in the past from the
liquor traffic, predicting that the in
| creased price resulting from the tax
| will not deter habitual drinkers.
The Unionists probably will make
the new tax a political issue. Lead
ers of the party hold conference
of action.
According to brewery association
officials the new tax will have little
or no effect OH the present price of
beer, but will practically double the
price of whisky. The chief aim of
the government is to curb the use of
beer by employees of the government
plants.
Postpone Discussion.
The tax on wines is expected to in
crease their price to two or three
shillingS go to 15 cents) a bottle
retail. The price of rum and gin will
nearly double.
Because of the criticism raised
throughout the country by the Chan
cellor's liquor bill, government lead
ers today decided to postpone its par
liamentary discussion until after the
introduction of the budget on Tues
day. Then the measure will be read
second time.
The only proposal unanimously Endorsed
is that relating to the Canteen system.
According to some parliamentary corre-
spondents, it is believed in high quar-
tiers that the other proposals will be
abandoned.
Papers Slap Bill.
Some of the papers express keen dis
satisfaction with the governments solu-
ton of the drink problem. The Globe
says:
The proposals Ito impose heavier
taxes on liquor will never do. Instead
of combining the proposals to those To-
calities in which drink is interfering with
provisions for carrying on war, Chan
Cellor Lloyd-GeorGe preferred to attack
the social habits of the entire nation in
Difference to the cutlery of few prohibi-
ton fanatics
The Pail Mall Gazette:
''Th. Loyd-GeorSe scheme will have to
find its own driving power. but it is too
well calculated to create its own friction.
1t would be affectation to ignore the fact
that the situation leaves one a little de-
pressed
The Westminster Gazette:
What the government can do is limited,
but the proposals have at least the merit
of putting the question clearly before the
country and showing alternative courses
where the chief difficulties lie

taken from n British steamer in mid
ocean and imprisoned for a time at
Fort Winthrop. in Boston. The situa-
ton was very critical. Mr.. Seward
told me that the note as originally
written would have undoubtedly led
to war. 1t was greatly softened by
of the Queen and the modi-
fed passage was in the handwriting
of her husband. the prince. Mr. Weed
was informed within an hour or two
after this was done by one of the
ladies of Queen ViCtoria's court of
the change which was made by the
Queen and was told that ne might
Immediately write to Washington and
say there was no danger of war.
He did do this said Mr.. Seward,
land his letter reached us at Wash
ington before we received a note of
protest from the British government
We were in that way well prepared
to read that note in a kindly spirit
Apparently Mr. Weed ignored Mr.
Adams. and yet he was sent to Lon-
don by President Lincoln as one or
a commission of three who were to
be received as personal representatives
of the President at London and at
Paris.

The Time 70 Break II.

There is an anecdote in some volume

ing an experience of Mile. Clarion. the
great tragic actress, with a pupil OF
hers. a girl of strong natural gifts fol
the histrionic art. but far too frequent
and too eXuberant in her eesticula ton
SO when the pupil was once to appear
before the public in a recitation Mile
Clarion bound the girls arms to hei
side by stiff thread and sent ner thus
upon the stage.
With the first strong feeling she had
to express the pupil tried to raise hel
arms only to be restrained by the
thread. A dozen times in the course oil
her recitation she was prevented from
making the gestures she desired unit
at the very end she could stand it nc
longer. and In the climax Of her emo
ton she broke her bonds and swung
her hands to her head
When she came off the stage she
went humbly to where Nile. Clafror

But you did quite right" said the
