Just what is going to happen at the voting booths next Tuesday when the Dis trict Democratic Primaries arc to be held for the purpose of electing delegates to the District Convention, is at present the cliiof topic of discussion among local poli llrfiuiK. Since the Bryan Democrats have befH ttcnlml the right to have fair rcpre MntUn 1 lhe primaries It Is among tfce poweaU5K that two elections will te fart m the mute day -Norris mid nuti- At tho mrttaK or the District Central OemMttttf Wednewiay evening James L. Nrrt, wko rantrols this oonimittee. through a t-peolal committee appointed to mvfmro rules and regulations governing the primaries told the Democrats of the Dfctriet that? liis men would take and count their votes on election day. While these exact words were not used in the report of the special Norris committee, the fact remains that those representing the Bryan voters will be allowed no watch ers at the counting of the ballots or judges while they are being cast. Since the campaign was started two weeks ago by the friends of Mr. Bryan in the District against such methods, it has been claimed that Mr. Norris has been working for months to operate his campaign without regard to the wishes of the citizens who advocate the instruc tion of Bryan delegates. Indeed, in an official Interview he declared himself against instruction. When, however, at a mass meeting thousands of -voters demanded the pledg ing of delegates, Mr. Norris apprecia.cl the strength of the movement against tiosiblc misrepresentation at Kansas CLy. and accordingto some of his followers, re- luctantly ordered the Cent.al Committee , to ueciarc lor iue uiauuniuu i v.-.0 , Mr. Norils has acknowledged the power -l. - !... .nt :r, T ll nfins J"? ?, of an in structed delegaticn, and has saiu tnui ii sent under Instructions he would obey in structions; but the piobabillties are that ;f ine Norris men constitute a majority of the District Coniention r.o instruct" ons will be given the delegate. Mr. Norris cave notice to th2 public, at the same time exptess-ing an oppati'ion to instruction, that his delegates to the Dis- met Com entioa had already been selected eer legislative district. Of courte, t the men who were chosen at tnat time , were in harmony with their chief, an-1 j were se'Mcii because of the fact. If ihes? men should be successiul at tne pons , and be in a majority ,n the Distr ct Con- , entlou no instructions Mil be given.

The District Commissioners are consid ering the bill providing for the licensing of homeopathic pharmacists in the District of Columbia. Upon the application of pharmacists of this school for licenses It was found that the laws did not permit the granting of the privilege, and the fact soon developed that the Commissioners had no discretion in the matter. Those conducting homeopathic pharma cies are ready to comply with all the re quirements of the law upon allopathic druggists, even to the depositing of a fee and submission to examination. But it has been found by the District authori ties that it will be necessary to secure new legislation before the licenses can be granted. The bill in question has the remedy of this defect in the license laws In view. It provides for the creation of a board of commissioners of homeopathic pharmacy, consisting of three physicians of that school to be appointed by the District Commissioners. This beard Is to examine candidates and is entitled to a fee of $20 to pay the expenses of executing the net. The bill also provides that each person registered as a homeopathic pharmacist under the act shall be entitled to manu facture, compound, sell and dispense drugs, medicines and chemicals for me dicinal use and to compound physicians' prescriptions, but only In accordance with the principles of homeopathy and the re quirements of homeopathic physicians. It is expected that the Commissioners will concur in recommending the bill to Congrets for adoption, and that it will be enacted to conect an obvious defect in the license laws of the District.

A SiijiKe-tlfin Whereby tin ceretnry Mny He Authorized to Distribute to .Meritorious OlHcern mul Men of the Vi".t liidiiin Squadron n Prop er Appreciation tif Their Service. In response to a request from the Senate Committee on Xaval Affairs, for informa tion concerning the Xavy Departments at titude in regard to a joint resolution, re cently presented to the Senate, to provide medals for the officers and men of the North Atlantic scpuadron, and especially as to the engagements -deemed to be of suf ficient importance to justify the bestowal of medals upon those who participated in them. Acting Secretary Allen has sent to Senator Hale. Chairman of the Naval Com mittee, the draft of a joint resolution in tended as a substitute for that under con sideration by the committee. In his letter to Mr. Hale, Mr. Allen says the Naw Department concurs in the view expressed by Mr. Hale, that it i not eery little affair in the West Indian campaign that would justify the giving of medals. He says, howeer, that the Department would "have difficulty -in specifying at this timp tho nnrticuiar engagements- which are deserving of commemoration, and invitee attention to a lnemoraadura of the Bureau j of .Navigation en tho subject. The memor- i andum is as follows: "The bureau bel!ces that it would be j exceedingly difficult to follow out the suggestion of Senator Hale, to discrlmi- nnte in the sense indicated in the last paragraph of the within letter. The reso- , lutlon as originally introduced, even with the amendment to be proposed by Sena- i tor McMillan, does not seem to follow any particular criterion of importance of en- , gagements included. For Instance, it i3 ..,..,.! t,!j no mimenmpnls around the I j Island of Porto Rico are included in tue I resolution; none of tne uomnarumems oi Santiago are included, and many of the minor engagements around the Island of j Cuba are omitted. Some of the foregoing ' are of considerable importance, as. for ) instance, the engagement of San Juan, where one man was killed and seven , 'wounded en our vessels, and the engage ment off Santiago. June 2G, where one wa3 killed and nine were wounded. Furthermore, although Lieut. Victor Blue and Xaval Constructor R. P. Hobson might receive meuais on account ui ucn i''-'-! pation in some of the engagements men I tioncd in the resolution, they would not be included as a result or the worK in wnicn thev most distinguished themselves. Lie'uts. H. H. Ward and W. H. Buck, ' neither of whom participated in any en- ! gagement nor served on beard naval ves- sels. would not benefit by the resolution, ' and' yet performed war services which . Ktinnld be considered in this eonnsction. The Department has recommended the ad vancement of Capt. C. D. Sigsbee, both on account of his conduct at the time the Maine was destroyed and in the engage ment with a torpedo beat off San Juan. His services should be considered. "The Bureau submits the foregoing without specific recommendations in the instances mentioned, because it believes It to be injudicious to make such special rec ommendations, and has to recommend that the resolution be so worded as to provide a campaign medal for all those who did naval or military duty in connection with the West Indian campaign, or else that it be so worded as to provide a medal for the culminating -action of the campaign of the battle of Santiago July 3." Mr. Allen says that after due considera tion the Xavy Department has concluded that the better method of disposing of the matter is by the adoption of a joint resolu tion whereby the Secretary of the Xavy shall be authorized to distribute to the officers and men participating in engage ments in the waters of the West Indies and on the shores of Cuba which shall be deemed of sufficient importance to merit such commemoration.
