In Regard to British Black List,
Says England
AT THE SAME TINE IT IS EVIDENT THAT THE BRITISH Gov
ERNMENT is READY TO MAKE CONDITIONS EASIER
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, Oct. 28.-The British
reply to American representations
against the commercial black list has
been received at the state department.
1t is understood to reiterate the con-
tention for the right to black list, but
offers means for removing from the
black list the names of American
firms not already removed.
The American note denounced the
black list as "an arbitrary interfer-
ence with neutral trade" The British
note is understood to argue that it's
unprecedented for neutral to claim
a belligerent should in effect compel
its subjects to trade with an enemy,
and it violates no law for the British
government to prevent its subjects
doing SO. The note admits the rights
of neutrals to engage in legitimate
commerce but claims such right does
not limit the right of other govern
ments restricting the activities of its
own subjects

A GOOD SUGGESTION

Editor Star: On December %, 1885.
Col. Thompson was massacred at Fort
King by Osceola and his band of
Seminole Indians. The site, of Fort
King, and the location of the mas
sacre, are right at Ocala's front door
Wouldn't it be good move, even on
so late a date as this, to have the site
of the fort purchased, and a shaft
erected to the soldiers who defended
it? Ocala seems to have neglected
her historical associations.

A SUCCESSFUL AND
BRILLIANT OCCASION
Opening Reception and Ball Given by
the Commercial Club Friday
Evening

Evening
The opening reception and ball of
the Commercial Club Friday evening
was brilliant affair, the first we hope
of series of social evenings that will
make the season of 1867 specially
enjoyable.
At s o'clock the officers and enter
tanning committees of the club were
in their places, and soon after the
guests began to arrive. Messrs. H.
M. Hampton, president, and John Do
zier, secretary, of the club, and Mr..
w. w. Harriss, chairman of the house
committee, met the guests at the head
cf the stairway, gave to each and all
hearty greeting, and sent them on
to the rooms made ready for their re-
ception.
About $3.50, President Hampton
called the guests to the ballroom, and
in one of those brief but cordial and
eloquent addresses that none can
make better than he, made all well
come and set forth the program of the
club, which hopes to make it easy and
pleasant for our own folks and visitors
to our city to often meet in informal
social affairs, as well as have larger
and more elaborate ones at intervals
As Mr.. Hampton ceased speaking, the
orchestra struck up, and Immediately
the ball room floor was covered with
graceful and good-looking couples
spinning in the may dances.
The dancing lasted until midnight
and in proportion to the size of the
crowd there has never been more
pleasant occasion in the city. The
only drawback was the size of the
ballroom, which was tight fit for the
crowd, but somehow they all managed
to find room to evolute, and none OF
the wall flowers who were interested

In the meantime, those who didna
dance repaired to the billiard, reading
and sitting rooms, where they whilec
away the time in games, and other:
sat in the corridors and talked. This
wide veranda was favorite place fol
the young folks to stroll and talk be
| tween dances, and almost spoke il
praise of the quarters of the club a!
vel IS its efforts to furnish social en-
tertainment.
An interesting feature of the bal
was the issuance to couples in one o.

responded with numbers in drawing

number to a prize, which was biz

NAUGHTY BOSTON
 SNUBS AQUA PURA
Votes by 29,462 Majority to Con-
 tinue Wicked Ways

l Boston, Dec 20.-Boston yesterday 1 voted to continue the licensed sale of l liquor after the liveliest campai gn l on the liquor question that Boston l has had in years. The vote in fa- 1 vor of license was 53,459, with 29,-
 997 against Last year the vote for l license was 4S,115 and 31,877 against. l The total vote was the largest ever 1 cast there on the license question
 and the majority of 23,462 for li- l cense has been exceeded only three times in the city's history. The larg- est majority-28, ,613-was recorded in 1905.
 The liquor question overshadowed all other issues in the campaign and both the license and no license forces were represented by many workers
 in virtually every precinct. Hundreds
 of conveyances were used to carry voters to the polls. Women holding banners bearing pictures of small children on which were printed the
 words, Please protect by voting no
 license" were stationed in the vicin- ity of most of the polling booths. Motor trucks and brewery wagons carrying printed appeals to vote Yes were sent through the city by the license forces.
 Rev. William A. Sunday who is conducting an evangelistic campaign there, took a prominent part in the fight. He delivered several addresses on the liquor issue and urged the voters who attended his meetings to vote mo" The Massachusetts anti saloon league sent out thousands of circulars and kept a force of orators busy for weeks.
 
 to explain the decrease in the mo" vote from last years figures, suburb an and residential districts winch they had counted upon to poll heavy majorities for no license, returned majorities for license, many of them of a substantial nature. Liquor in- terests asserted that many voters in these districts who ordinarily voted mo" in order to keep saloons out of their particular wards, changed their votes to "yes'' this year because of the fear that the entire city would go "dry' and that the revenue de- rived from liquor licenses would be lost.
 No-license advocates gained two new victories in the four municipal cities outside of oRston holding cleo tions yesterday. North Adams changed from the wet to the 'dry' column for the first time in twenty nine years, and Fitchburg turned last years license majority of 72 into a no-license margin of 84. Peabody and Quincy remained in the "dry" column: With the last of the thirty seven city elections" in the state now decided the dry" forces this year have added six cities to their list and c first election as a city yesterday, choosing $. Howard Donnell may or. Ezra D. Whitaker was elected mayor in North Adams, Frank H. Toss in Fitchburg, and Joseph L. W7hiton in Quincy.
