Major Ernest Dart, candidate for the legislature desires liis positon on tie liquor question and the city court to be distinctly understood. He said yesterday: On the liquor question, I think wnen a man takes out his license to sell whiskey, observes the law in re gard to the sale of it, follows care full the judicious statutes laid down regarding this business, he is enti tled to the full measure of the law in his favor, and when he does his part. I advocate equal rights being accord ed him, or in other ords, I am for lo cal option. In the city court matter, our grand juries, at different terms of the court have seen fit to recommend its abolishment; our county commis sioners have done the same thing, the bar, of the city has done likewise, and I consider those bodies conservative, and certaintly having the interest of our community at heart, and expresses it by their ac tion and my own personal investi gation' and judgment being in accord with thorn, 1 have reached the con clusion that I will support a senti ment that favors the abolition of the court. „ c So far as other matters are con cerned. either state or local, 1 have not give® them thought, but will be glad at any time to discuss them with any voter, and to give plainly my views upon them."

AT LOWEST CALCULATION THE AMOUNT WOULD HAVE REACHED $50,000,000. Washington, March 6.—The Span ish treaty elaims committee has handed down a decision adverse to the claimants on account of death and injury received on the battle ship Maine, blown up in Havana harbor. The commission holds that “indi vidual claims of citizens of one Ra tion may arise against the govern ment of another nation for redress of injuries to persons or property which such citizens may have sus tained from such government or any of its agents. But such individual claims to do not arisia in favor of of ficers and seamen of a ship of war who receive, in line of duty, injuries to their person for wl country is responsible. A claim against a foneign government is wholly national and all injuries of such officers anu seamen are merged in a national injury and they can look only to their own govern rent for such remuneration as, it maychoose to give them. ,• “A .seaman injured by the explo sion which destroyed ri.e battfwrtrtfr Maine in the harbor of Havana, had no individual claim against Spain, even if that government was respon sible to the United States for the ex plosion, and therefore such seamen is not entitled to an award in his favor from the Spanish claims com mission." Claims so far filed with the com mission which will be affected by this decision amount to about $2,500,- 000, which wouia probably be in creased to $50,000,000 had the decis ion been favorable to the claimants.
