Senator Wilkes said he favored prohibitive tax, but If the senate did not wnigit the 325,000 tax he favored the HlAbi'O tax. SenaVK- Knight denied that the tax of 310,000 was licensing the whisky traffic, but as nothing In the prohibi tion bill affected club lockers, It became necessary to place such a tax on them. In order that they might be put out of business. Senator Felder said that the prohl bltionlsts had made a great botch of the prohibition bill, and were now try ing to Ax it up by taxing club lockers. "If you hadn't paid so much atten tion to sandwiches and other things you might have secured a sensible pro. hlbttlon bill," he said.

Instead of attacking In one place. It Is feared the onslaught will be spread, the tribes, men dividing the attention of tbe de fenders. The tribesmen are more bold and hopeful over the last Aght during which they carried one of the outposts and nearly drove the French back. Fa natical priests are urging on the at tack, and calling for general massa cres of Europeans, once the Kabyles are In possession of the city. This means a great slaughter, for as long as the French battleships are In the harbor, the sheila from their guna will do terrible damage. The Kabyles. however, with Oriental running, are said to be easy on this score, as they Intend to take the foreign consulates and cen. ter there, when the Are of the French guns would cease because there would be danger of Europeans being killed.
