THE GREAT
London, Nov. n.—A dispatch to the Associated Tress
Washington confirming the statement made in these
dispatches that the Japanese had indicated a willingness to
q^tcrtain peace suggestions from President Roost-velt or
King Edward created much interest here.
Baron Hnynshi, the Japanese minister, said today: ' After
fall .iM oit Arthur the Japanese would, I believe, be
apadyto i <' "•(' peace on no higher essential basis than that
Cassia e\.a;i .10 Manchuria, Japan also agreeing to a similar
Jtvacuatio ■.
.. " 1 he twei great difficulties in the way of any suggestion of
3«ace are, first, the apparent opposition of Emperor Nicholas
his present advisers to a settlement of any kind. Sec-
«wl, the preservation of Russian prestige. When a nation s
jysstige, if not gone, is severely impaired, it is a difficult
* Uer, even with the best intentions, to preserve it."
The Associated Press learns that Queen Alexandria has
Seen in constant communication with the Dowager Empress
ssf Russia and Emperor Nicholas himself during the last few
Ays. This is interpreted here as a hopeful sign and possi-
1% will likely lead, although not in the immediate future, t >
• tli establishment of some modus vivendi whereby steps look
isg to arbitration might be initiated without offense to Russia.
The reiteration of the American state department's deter-
mination not to intervene except on request from brth bellig-
erents t allies with the official attitude of the British govern-
ment,, but it is thought before long that some method
gariiately be devised whereby this diplomatic barrier to acticn
■■will be overcome.

Synopsis ot Law Bartend-
ers Are Seeking to
Have Enacted.
San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 29.-
Lem Husied of Louisville. Ky.,
general organizer of the Hotel
and Restaurant employers' In-
ternational Association and the
Bartenders' International Lcaguo
of North America, arrived in ihe
city yesterday.
Mr. Hasted is making a tour of
the state to enlist public senti-
ment in behalf of a law regulat-
ing saloons, which will be pre-
sented to the e\t legislature.
The statute is now in course of
preparation and will work eome
radical changes in the liquor
traffic if it is passed.
Under its provision the t-aloon
man is required to give a $5000
bond, while a universal license of
$1000 for the sale of beer and
liquor will bo required. A viola-
tion of any of tbo provisions of
the law will subject the offender
to a forfeiture.of all rights in the
saloon business and debar him
from engaging in it in the future.
The hoars of business are to be
from 5 a.m. to 11 p. m. and on
Saturday nights to 12 o'clock
midnight.
The object of the law is to do
' away with the low dives and the
legitimate
loon business
basis.
Mr, Husied says the measure
has the indorsement of the pro-
nibitionists, and he is hopeful of
having it enacted in'o a law.—
Houston Chronicle.
Ti e above shows which way
the wind blows. Evidently the
wave of temperance and local
option sweeping Texas is choping
off the sales of whiskey in Texas.
And Mr. dusted is likely wasting
time :n Touring Texas moulding
public sentiment toward a (lifer-
ant channoil otner than Local
option. Besides Texas is ably
represented in our Legislature
State Senate by Brainev men
who will be able t> take Care of
the Whiskey trafick without the
assistance of the gentleman from
the Cork Sorew State. No doubt
(he wet trade needs putting on a
legitimatejbasis but its an im-
possibility to do that to any arti-
cle which makes a man lay down
on the li. K. track and let the
train run over h:m, makes him
fight his best friend. Makes the
hack driver lay down in the bot-
tom of his hack and turn his lines
a loose while his team hangs up
on a tree and hie friends have 10
be te'ephoned for to come and
fetch nim home in his helpless
state, such stuff is not to be put
in legitimate channels.
! Another mistake the Gentle-
man makes is when he says the
measure is endoised by the Pro-
hibitionist*. The Local Option
1 cer joints and to place the s<t- Prohibition Democrats are op-
pooed to any License system. A
Liconse requiring a $25,000 bond
would be rej. cted by Local Op-
tionists. We want no license at
all we had the Ik e ise system be-
fore local option a'.d we prefer no
license and take in its place Loral
Option, i*or when you license
them they take the reins, bridle
& bits all in their own hands &
run clenr away and observe none
of the laws regulating their busi-
ness except paying the License
and runing wide open about 24
hours a day and seven days in a
week. Respectfully,
Mozes Addums.
