The Mas_ac__u3elts Flan*
[From lhe New York Voice, Pro.]
A bill has been introduced in ' the Massachusetts Legislature designed to establish the State agency plan of controlling the liquor traffic.   Wherever towns vote for no-license, local prohibi¬ tion will prevail as now; where tiiey voto for license the sales shell be not a. now, by saloon¬ keepers, but  by  State  agents. These agents shall receive a fix¬ ed   salary, irrespective of the amount of their sales. The Stale shall receive 5 per cent profit on its invested capital  and   o pel cent additional shall go into a sinking fund to provide for cer¬ tain future contingencies. -No profit in excesB of this  10 pei cent is to be made on tho sales of liquor.   This would be a de¬ cided improvement on the South Carolina system.   Wc do not an¬ ticipate the passage of the  bill, •but it could, bo far as we can •'judge of the practical results of '•'an untried experiment, be a de- "cided    improvement  over the ' presopt   license system.   It* is certainly   far better than the 'Gothenburg   system, which is ¦¦¦ alfo before   the Massachusetts ' Legislature. The latter provides for-a continuance of  the   de¬ bauching revenue from the sah* of liquor, and whether thc  re¬ venue is appropriated directly to  the   public treasury  as in Sweeden, or indirectly through charitable institutions as in Nor¬ way, makes little difference.
Littin, the leading Tillmanite of that section, appointed in his place. Tins possibly the first removal in the United States by tho Fourth Assistant Postmas¬ ter General.
Tho patronage controversy between Senator Irby and the formidable array of his oppon¬ ents has assumed a white heat. From the best information that j your correspondent has received j Irby has decidedly the advan¬ tage. They are admitting now what they most positively re¬ fused ten days ago, that the Reformers are going to get a fair share of the patronage. All except General (Tampion aro believed now to be in favor of giving them their quota. Tho ReformCougressman will jT".'^
be in Washington in a few days _	
and the final struggle will de¬ termine who wins in this light. Senator Irby desires me to ,tate that all the guessing about his object in advocating Gener¬ al Karle for United States Dis¬ trict At(Oa-ney,in reference to hia being* a candidate for Governor in the event of defeat, is wilful¬ ly false. He is for General Earle because all the Reform Congressmen, as well as the leading Tillmanites, wished his appointment, because of his ability and manliness in the manner in which, he con¬ ducted bis campaign against them in _89U, and his at¬ titude towards them since. They have never regarded him other than an honorable oppo¬ nent.
Oue away from Washington cannot realize the herculean ef¬ forts that are being made on both sides. w. j. s.

Volcanic Disturbances.
Panama, March ii.—A trem¬ endous phenomenon has occurr¬ ed in the department, of < *anca,' i u the Republic of Columbia.
The volcano of Dolcano Sotara has beon unusually active and the people of that region were* greatly excited by the rumbling of the earth and tho extraordina¬ ry violence of the eruption. Sud¬ denly, while the volcano wasj belching forth flame and smoke to a great height, the earth be¬ gan to shake as if the most vio¬ lent convulsion was in progress and the mountiau ridge called Cruz Loma sank along its entire extension.
The inhabitants iu the vicini¬ ty who had a chance to escape fled in terror from tho scene, and not too soon, as the sunken ridge dammed up the three riv¬ ers, and added desolation to the terror of the earthquake and vol¬ cano.
Twelve persons nro known to j have perished, and mauy cattlo were destroyed. More destruc¬ tion is feared as the rivers, whose usual channels have been obstructed, are rising rapidly.
Great suffering prevails in Canca, which is usually tho most flourishing department of Columbia, and many people are starving owing to the failure of crops, and this new and unex-
views on nepotism to-day in a manner so forcible lhat he left no doubt in the mind of his heavers that lie is irrevocably opposed to the practice: The gentleman to whom Cleveland outlined his views came to se¬ cure the appointment of a con. stituenl to office. He"told Cleve¬ land lhat tho applicant was a goij'.l Democrat, and further¬ more was a i dative of Cleve¬ land himself. "That settles it," Cleveland is reported as saying. ¦'His name cannot bo consider¬ ed." Aud theii the president is said to have read the congress¬ man a lecture in wbich he put himself on record as against nepotism in all its shades of meaning and application.
Will Thay Fight Goneales. Washington, D. C, March 24. -—"Tes, sir. You can state with emphasis that Mr. S. G. Gon¬ zales will not be confirmed if appointed to a consulate. If I am correctly informed, and I havo no reason to question the source of the information, Gon¬ zales fought the organized Dem¬ ocracy in his State, and for tbis reason a number of Senators will fight his appointment and oppose his confirmation if ap¬ pointed over our protest."
This was tlie remarkable state¬ ment made to me to day by a well known Senator from tho Northwest. For political reason, his name is, tit his own request, withheld, until the matter comes up* So it seems an or¬ ganized fight is iu store for Mr. Gonzales.
-1 saw Senator Irby, and in. quired if he knew anything con¬ cerning the affair, but he refus¬ ed to be interviewed, and only said: "If international relations were established between the United States and h—1 I would warmly endorse the application of Gonzales as envoy extraordi¬ nary and minister plenipoten¬ tiary to that place, but 1 am op¬ posed to his holding any other position."
Irby's face looked calm, but it was the calm tbat always pre ceedes a storm.
Your correspondent is in pos¬ session of information that makes it safe and certein to say that tho Tillmanites will receive their just proportion of the Fed- era! patronage* This statement may be challenged, but it is none the less absolutely true.
Senator Butler called on thr President to day and presented Captain Alston and both were well received.

JSTew York, March 24.—Col. Elliott F. Shepard, editor of the Mail and Express, dicti sudden¬ ly this afternoon at his home, No. 2 West Fif ty-seoond street. His death followed the'adminis¬ tration of ether by Dr! Charles McBurney and the family physi* can. Dr. J. W. McLane, who were about to make an examina¬ tion to ascertain whether thc- colonel's suspicion that he was. suffering from stone in tho blad¬ der was correct. Up to this morning, Colonel Shepard had attended to his business in tho usual way. He was at his offico every day. No one there knew of the contemplated operation when he went home last even¬ ing. He merely told his mana¬ ger that probably would not ba down on Friday", but that he would be there on Saturday af¬ ternoon.

A prominent SouthCarolinian, sitting in the gallery of the Senate the other day, asked one of the frequenters of the Senate gallery, commonly known as a gallery guard, sitting next to him, if Senator Irby was iu his seat.
"Ko," said the guard without turning his head, "he is not in his seat; he is rarely in it, and when he is he don't amount to a d—m-"
The South Carolinian said no more, though he blushed for his State.

A Hissing; Heir. A fortune of over a million dollars, consisting of stocks and bonds and San Francisco real estate, awaits Michael O'Reilly, if alive, or his heirs, if he is dead. Ali this is left by his bachelor brother, John. In 1854 John and Michael O'Reilly settled in San-Francisco, coming from Dongerey Ireland. John secured employment and in a short time had accumulated considerable money,but Michael drifted into tho array and fought through the Indian wars of 1874. Tho last heard of him was in Chicago in 1876, when he applied to his brother, now a millionaire, for money aud was refused. The missing man is supposed to be about sixty years of age if alive.

Whereas, We are to-day sadly reminded by the vacant seat of the secretary of this association that he will never again call the . roll of its members, since he haa been summoned to the final roll, call of tho Great. Commander. We are further reminded that, while ho has ceased to summon together the members of thisas- sociation, they too will, ere long1, cease to be known among men; wheii one by ono they will be. called   to join their comrade* , who have proceeded them to tbe bivouac of the dead.
Whilst lamenting our loss in the death of so worthy and be¬ loved comrade as Jon W. Tar¬ box, our sorrow is tempered with the knowledge that a good man, an exemplary Christian, a truo and tried soidier has gentlylaid down the burden of a well spent lifo and gone to his well earned reward.
Mr. Tarbox's connection wtyh the Georgetown Rifle Guards began with the organization of that company in 1850. It was he who printed the flrst consti¬ tution of that organization, v a copy of which is still preserved,: it is safe to say that no soldier fulfilled its requirements nearer than ho did.' He shared wifti his company its service to the State, and went with it to its wider sphere of action in th« armies of the Confederacy, where lie steadfastly remained until promoted to the* position of ordnance sergeant of thaldth S. C. Regiment, from which position he could all the better observe and share in the triumphs, victories, hardships*,' and defeats of his company, to which on all occasions his heart tenderly clung.
Some years after the war b%'* was   called   by his admiring;'. friends and citizens generally iff fill the highest position in their   , gift—that of the intendancy of. the tojvn—tho duties of whioh fa* performed with his accustomed fidelity. *
Upon the formation of this as* sociation he became a member, and its secretary which office he held up to the time of hia death, and aided as beat he could in placing upon perpetual record the proud history of bit company.   Therefore, be it
Resolved, That in the death pt our comrade, John W. Tarbox, the Veterans' Association ot Oo* A., 10th S. C. Regiment, haa lost a valued officer and member,— one who was true to the caustt he espoused, and who as a sol* dier wore the gray with becom* ing dignity and manhood*. Also that we feel his suddenly being taken away from our midst as tt personal bereavement.
Resolved, That a blank pag«* itt our minute book be inscribed * to his memory, also that tbi» preamble and these r_solutiont be spread upon the minute*.
Resolved, That the genuiuf sympathy of this association b|> tendered to the members of lii* bereaved family, and that thes* proceedings be pnblished in tk* Georgetown  Time*.
