BRITISH CABINET KEEPS
PROCEEDINGS A SECRET
Discussions Yesterday Not Official
ly Reported, But Anglo-Russian
Treaty Among Chief Topics.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 24.-Although
the government when it took office
promised fuller accounts of the cabi-
net meetings than the public had
ever been previously allowed, moth
ing was given out officially regard
ing Mondays discussions except
that they had the quite unusual ou-
ration of nearly four hours and were
occupied with miscellaneous busl-
ness"
The political news writer's, how
ever, serve their papers with lengthy
and various reports of the proceed
ings. The opinion is general that the
Anglo Russian treaty was one OF the
chief topics under consideration, es-
pecially with reference to Mr.. AS
quith's emphatic reputation or the
loan proposals, and it Is generaily
agreed that the ministers feel them
selves in an awkward position In
view of the impossibility of carrying
out the proposals in the face OF
virtually united opposition.
In some anti-government circles IL
is declared that the Labor party Is
divided respecting the treaty, one
section being eager to make II
capital issue. urging the government
to resign If defeated thereon ana
test the opinion of the country In a
general election, while the other sec
ton is equally opposed to such
course. This divergence of views is
said to affect the cabinet itself.

Refuse Health Clearance to
Ships Carrying Beverages.
Y the Associated Press.


MANILA, September 24.-Instruc-
fions issued by the State Department
at Washington ordering all foreign
consuls to refuse to issue bills of
health to vessels carrying liquor to
the Philippine Islands for beverage
purposes were received here today, it
was stated officially.
The ruling Of the State Department,
based on an Interpretation of the
eighteenth amendment by the Depart
ment of Justice last June. was con-
1rary to the Interpretation placed
upon the Volstead act in official cir
cles here. 1t was believed the dry
law of the United States did not ap-
ply to unorganized territory, in which
category Manila falls.
Under the procedure plan worked
out today the superintendent of the
quarantine station here will refer all
cases of violations of the law on in
coming ships to the collector of Gus
toms
The collector of customs said last
week that he would impose only the
lowest fines on captains of ships who
were without health clearance papers
from foreign consuls because the
crafts carried liquor consigned to the
Philippines for beverage purposes.

WiUes Purchased

Face Early Return
By the Associated Press.

LONDON. September 24.-Many
natives of Pondoland, South At
rica, are likely to lose wives pur-
chased on extended credit during
the last three years because they
claim to be unable to complete
their payments.
The purchase Of wives on credit
is not usually allowed among the
natives, as there is too much in
clination to return the wives in
lieu Of the purchase price, but a
matrimonial moratorium has been
in effect during the period Of
mourning for the death of a para
mount chief. This period is now
over and natives who obtained
wives on credit must pay up or
return the women to their pa
rental kraals.
A mysterious shortage Is report
ed in cattle and horses, with
which such payments are usually
made.

PRICE OF. BONDS
 WORKS LOWER
Continued Weakness Of Liberty Issues Influ-
 ences Further Selling

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Bond prices again worked lower today as the con- tinued weakness of liberty issues in- fluenced further selling of other high grade obligations. Erratic fluctuations of the St. Paul Railroad liens, which declined to 8 points in the early trad ing and then recovered, were a feature of trading.
 Contributing to the early reaction of the St. Paul bonds were reports that the road. in planning it's next years re- funding program, was dissatisfied with tentative terms proposed by bankers and would frame a counter proposal. Uneasiness over rumors that no finan- cling would be attempted until earnings improved were partially dispelled by officials of the road, who asserted that the outlook for fall tonnage was better than at this time last year.
 Recovery of the bonds later was &C., celerated when reports reached Wall street that Van Sweringens were buying St. Paul stock with the view of evcn- tually linking the road with their new Nickel Plate to form the first real transcontinental rail system.
 Today's decline in liberty bonds, ex- ceeding more than a half point in some issues, brought losses within the past few days to as'much as a point. Selling was traced to banks, which were re- ported to be finding better employment for their funds in the interior through the movement of crops and the revival of trade.
 A local syndicate headed by the First National bank was awarded 10000, 900 Province of Ontario Al per cent bonds on bid of 94.86, which compared with a bid of 94.S0 by competing syndicate.
