NO MONEY FOR BEER

MANY SALOONS FORCED CLOSE THEIR DOORS.

People Are Too Poor This Tear to Spend the Usual Amount for Drinks— In Chicago Nearly 8,000 Saloons Will

Close Up by January 1.

CHICAGO, Dec. I.—The beer and whisky business in Chicago is not thriving. Since the closing of the World's Fair few saloonkeepers outside of the heart of the city have made any money. More than 500 retail liquor dealers.have been forced out of business since Nov. 1, and it is estimated that about 1,200 more will go within the next two weeks. Those best informed upon the subject say that there will be fewer suloons and less liquor sold during the coming year than in any corresponding time within the last six years.

The quarterly installment on license money from all of the 6,000 saloons in Chicago is due to-day. The saloon keepers are allowed twenty days, by the courtesy of the oity officials, in which to pay over the money and secure a renewal for the ensuing three months. If at the end of that time they are still in default their places of business are closed wtthout ceremony by the police and a suit instituted for the license money due.

Several score of saloons will close within the next few days without making more ado, but the great majority of them will remain open just as long as the police will allow and then endeavor to escape the payment of the license money due from Dec. 1. This game will be played with more or less success by saloonkeepers who have political influence behind them. Even in the event of a suit they know that the fine will only be the amount of the license money due.

These results are being made manifest in the face of the fact that beer has fallen in price fully 33 per cent since last summer. Some of the dealers who paid 86 a barrel then are now get ting their supply at $4.25. No brewer can get more than $5 for his product, and the prices are cut much lower than this with discounts. But the low prices do not seem to increase the demand. The business is duller than it has been for many years, running fully 25 per cent behind the record of the corresponding time for last year.

A number of causes have worked together to "bring about these results. First, the opening of a large number of saloons and "blind pigs" around and at the World's Fair drew heavily from the business of the up-town liquor dealers. Every bartender who could get a, brewery to back him became at once independent and opened a saloon for himself in the hope of making a fortune while the Fair lasted. The number of these mushroom saloons ran well up into the thousands, and they were nearly all backed and their license fees paid by the big brewers on condition that' the dealers sell only beer furnished by their particular con cerns.

Prices were high and the brewers made money. Just nt this time a number of independent brewing companies among which were the Cooke,the Man hattan, the Citizens', Tosetti's and several others, began to compete for the trade. Prices dropped at once. Then the World's Fair closed and a third less beer was consumed, but all the while the trust breweries and their in dependent rivals were pouring out much beer as ever, and the prces took another drop from overproduction.

Another reason may be found in the fact that times are hard and money is ecaree. Thousands of the best cus tomers of the saloons in the Seventh and the Twenty-eighth wards are out of employment and have not the money with which to I my drink. This is especially noticeable in the vicinity of the rolling mills in South Chicago which have long been closed. 1 he great throng of unemployed men on the streets are constant patrons of the salocms. but their trade is invariably unprofitable, owing to the fact that they aim to eat enough free lunch with each drink to supply tliem. They buy a drink and get a dinner thrown in." The saloonkeepers would willingly do away with the free lunch counter if they could all agree, but if one attempted it he. would soc.i lose his business.

Another cause has contributed to make saloons unprofitable. People spent all their spare money at the World's Fair and they are now economizing. This is particularly the case among the better class of liquor drinkers—those who buy the more expensive wines and champagnes. ''There is no doubt." said .lolm II. •McKeough. attorney for the Liquor Dealers' Protective association, "that saloons will fro out of business by the wholesale during the coming month. 1 know of scores of them that can not live many weeks longer. The. brewers are also suffering from a creat decline, in prices, owing principally to competition and oversupplv. It will be liard work for a good many of them to pull through the year l.SH-1."

VAN ALEN SAYS "NO."

DECLINES THE AMBASSADORSHIP TO ITALY.

Adverse Criticism of His Appointment C:mses Him to Decide on This Courso —President Cleveland Makes a Personal Appeal to Him.

NEW YORK, Dec. -1.—A personal friend of J. J. Van Alen, recently confirmed ambassador to Italy, has made public letters showing that Air. Van Alen has declined to serve. He gives as the reason that he made a contrition to the Democratic campaign fund from patriotic and business motives, and cannot accept a position of honor which may be misconstrued

:nto

reward for a conscientious act. 1'resdent Cleveland, in a personal letter, asks Mr. Van Alen to rescind his decision not to serve, but the latter insists on not accepting. Mr. Van Alen's friend would say nothing more than that the letters explained themselves. A reporter in Washington was sent to see Secretary of State Gresham about the matter. lie said the letters were correct. He would say nothing else. The widely published sto/y was that Mr. Van Alen gave $50,000 to the democratic fund to buy the Italian ambassadorship.

President Cleveland replied to Mr. Van Alen's letter declining the office, under Washington date, as follows: "The secretary of state has submitted to me your letter, in which you tender your resignation as ambassador to Italy. I hasten to express my earnest wish that you will reconsider this conclusion. The sentiments contained in your letter do credit to your conscience and Americanism, but you must allow me to dissent from their application in this case. I did not select you for nomination to the

Italian mission without satisfying myself of your entire fitness for the place. I am now better convinced of your fitness than ever. You know, and I know, that all the malignant criticism that lias beeu indulged in regarding the appointment ha no justification, and that the decent people who have doubted its propriety have been misled, or have missed the actual considerations upon which it rests. We should not yield to the noise and clamor which have arisen from those conditions. My personal preferences should enter very slightly into your final determination but so far as I have such preference it is emphatically that you accept the honorable office conferred upon yon and vindicate by the discharge of its duties the wisdom and propriety of your selection.T'

Mr. Van Alen, under Newport date, replied as follows: "Allow me to thank you most sincerely and heartily for title very kind and flattering sentiments you express. For the reasons I have already stated in my letter to the secretary of state, and which were reached only after long and serious consideration of the subject, I feel that I cannot accept the high office to which 1 hafe been appointed. My only regret in this decision, which I must beg you to consider as final, is that it is contrary to the personal preference which you so kindly express. But I cannot think it would be advisable for me to invite further misrepresentation by taking advantage of your generosity. I thank you again for your most gracious words and express an earnest hope for the continuance of the successes which have already marked your second administration."

William C. Whitney said he was not surprised to hear Mr. Van Alen's resig nation had been sent to President Cleveland. He supposed Mr. Van Alen had become so disgusted with adverse criticism he had decided to resign.

Whitney thought from reading tl letters they would be final, and Air. Van Alen could not be prevailed upon to reconsider his action.

EFFORT TO ARBITRATE.

IJCMRII Strike to Come Before Strike State Boards. Wir.KRPHAKRK. l'a.. Dec. 4.—.John H. Rice of the engineers and general Chairman of the '(irievance committee received a telegram yesterday from Chairman .1. E. Maloney of the New Jersey Central Federation of Engineers requesting him to meet the arbitration boards aud the general committee of the Jersey Central. It is evident some move of great importance is to be made, and it is probable that unless a speedy settlement is effected the Central employes will make their sympathy so evident that the officials of the Central and other roads will bring every possible pressure to bear upon Mr.

Wilbur to compel him to end the strike. A heavy snowstorm brought all traffic on the Lehigh Valley, especially the Wyoming division, almost to a standstill. The strikers are particularly pleased at the situation and confident of ultimate success.

MINERS WILL EIGHT.

INCIDENT YESTERDAY SHOWS THEIR DESPERATION.

They Demand Work or Food for Xheli Starving Families—Work of the Relief Committee—Kx-Gov. Alger Will

Endeavor to Aid Them.

BBSSKMKR, Mich.,Dec. 4.—A startling incident is reported from Wakefield which shows if the people of the state of Michigan do not conquer with food the hunger of these unemployed they will have to call out the militia to suppress desperate disturbers. J. W. Bedell, who is supervisor of roads and a sort of poor commissioner for the township and village of Wakeneld, was called to the street door of his office at Wakefield and was confronted by an armed body of forty. They were scantily dressed and armed to work or light, as the opportunity might offer. They had picks for the mine, axes for the wood, and shotguns and rifles for a more serious purpose. "Can you give us work?" demanded the leader. ''You all know that there is no work,'" said Air. Bedell. "Can you give us something to eat?" said the leader. "Where can I get sufficient for you?"' "You got to get it," they shouted. "If you don't get us work or won't give us anything to eat we'll get it ourselves. We are ready to go to work to earn enough to live on, and if we can't do that we'll break into the store and eat what there is there. When that is gone we will go to some other city where they have more and will break in again. When we all get in the penitentiary they will have to |eed us."

Mr. Bedell assured them that he would do what he could for them. He got them provisions from Bessemer and has, with the assistance of local charity, been keeping "them from starving.

The canvassers appointed by the relief committee and the board of supervisors had been to every home in the city, and their report was a startling one to the committee. There ar® less than thirty miners employed, and 2,100 men, women and children will have to be supported during the winter. The report means that two-thirds of the people are paupers and will not have anything to eat or wear until spring, except what is given to them. Some few of this number will be able to support themselves until Jan. 1, but this number is so small the committee is taking no account Ot it in its estimate.

CLKVKLAND, Ohio, Dec. 4.—Ex-Gov. Alger of Michigan is in the city on a mission of mercy. He said: "I am here to endeavor to find employment for the miners in the Gogebic range of mountains. Their condition is really deplorable, and any work that might be secured would be a great blessing. I have laid the matter before the stockholders, and action will be taken upon it at a meeting to be held this week. The stockholders seem to be inclined to do something."

Gen. Alger said any reduction of the tariff on iron would cause a reduction of wages. He said no money could be made by starting work in the Gogebic range, but the men must be prevented from starving.

NEARLY HALF A CENTURY.

£tnperor Kraucin Joseph Celebrates His Forty-fifth Anniversary. VIKNN'A, Dec. 4.—The emperor to-day celebrates the forty-fifth anniversary of his coronation. Francis Joseph was a schoolboy then. He is a whitehaired veteran now, and his realm has equally changed from being the very central citadel of old conservatism to being the forward camp of advanced liberalism among the continental monarchies.

His reign began amid the throes of a would-be revolution, soon sternly repressed. To-day sees each of the two halves of his vast realm on the point of taking peacefully a step far in advance ot the wildest dreams of the men of 1848 and a step of which the initiative was given by none other than the emperor himself.

Indiana Crops Not Injured. INDIANAI'OMB, Ind., Dec. 4.—There has been a light fall of snow and sleet, but the icy surface formed has been too slight to delay traffic on an}' of the roads entering the city. Laie last evening the a iow was falling heavier than at any other time of the day. but the weather bureau promises that it will eease before morning. The signal service does not believe that the fallof elect, will injure crops in the field. The snow anticipated the sleet and gives the fields a warm covering.

CAPK TOWN, Dec. 4.—A dispatch from Fort Victoria says a force of volunteers sent by Premier Rhodes to "liberate a number of women and children that the Matabeies abducted from Beria, Mashonaland. several months ago, has recaptured all the women and children and restored tliem to their people without suffering any loss.
