I hi HOG RAD, April 0—With the Russian
forces in complete possesion of till the main summits
ami slopes in the Resdik mountains, tin* army offi
cers here assert that the Austrian operations in the
Carpathian mountains have completely collaspod.
The Russian general stall- is now considering the best
approach into Hungary. Operations centering
nhont Mesolahoroz, including Rartfelri, Lupkow and
■ .. ..' -
*
I'zok, appear to be <‘Tiffed, with the Austrian on the
defensive along the whole line, and percentnbly
weakened.
T’KTROGRAP, April i)—Deep snow, covering
the Carpathian ridges, forbids a rapid advance of the
Russian forces into Hungary. When this difficulty
is overcome by the returning warmer weather, and
the Russians reach the southern slopes, where signs'
of spring have already appeared, the most serious
obstacle to the Russian advance will be the artifiicial
defences, which it is presumed have been erected by
the Austrians.
The Russian Heneral Staff believes that the Her
mans have already transferred all available troops
from other fronts to the defense of this region, and
therefore, are unable to offer any more formidable
opposition than heretofore exhibited.

Judge F. M. Brown made an order of
court, on Wednesday, in the matter of
granting licenses for the sale of intox
icating liquor in the third division of
Alaska. As an entirely new mode of
proceedure is necessary to secure a
license and there is considerable in
terest in this question, throughout the
territory, we herewith publish the
order in full:
It is ordered that from and after this
date no license will be granted for the
sale of intoxicanting liquor, unless the
applicant or applicants shall cause to
be shown to the satisfaction of the
Court that a majority of the white
male and female citizens over the age
of twenty-one years, residing within
two miles from the place where such
liquor is to be sold have consented
thereto, which showing shall be made
as follows, to-wit:
The applicant or applicants desir
ing such license shall notify the United
States Commissioner in the precinct
wherein such license Is desired, where
upon the Commissioner shall appoint
two disinterested persons who shall
be qualified to give such consent, who
shall forthwith proceed to take, in
writing, a complete census of the per
sons so qualified. One of such per
sons shall carry a blank book, where
in he shall enter the name of each
person who shall be so qualified: the
other of said two persons shall ask
each person, as his or her name is en
tered in said book, the following
question; "Do you consent to the
sale of intoxicating liquor in.?
(insert name of the place wherein
business is sought to be conducted)
“You may answer ‘Yes' or ‘No,' or you
may say you have no opinion if such
is the the case."
Anti his or her answer, “Yes" or
“No," or the words "No opinion" shall
be entered in said book opposite his
or her name. No person shall be
urged or influenced in any way what
soever, but the free and voluntary ex
pression of opinion only shall be ob
tained. In case said two persons so
appointed shall not agree that any
person is qualified as above set forth,
they shall leave the settlement of such
question to said United States Com
missioner, and his ruling thereon shall
be final and conclusive. Said census
or lists when fully completed shall be
signed and sworn to by both of said
persons taking the same, before said
United States Commissioner, and by
him forwarded to the Clerk of this
court, together with the application or
applications for the sale of intoxi
eating liquor.
Immediately upon the appointment
of the two persons above provided for
by such Commissioner, the said Com
missioner shall notify the applicant
or applicants for such license of the
probable cost of taking the said cen
sus including cost of said book, and
five dollars per day for each of said
persons for the time required to take
same, and said applicant or applicants
shall at once and before the taking of
said census pay the same to Bald
Commissioner, the said sum to be paid
by him to said two persons. If said
work shall not take so long as the
Commissioner estimates, any balance
remaining shall be returned to the ap
plicant.
When the sentiment of the people
has been secured on said subject as
above set out, no further consent or
expression of the people In said com
munity will be required, or taken,
within one year thereafter.
It is the meaning and intent of this
order that where there are two or
more applicants for sale of liquor in
any one place or town, that the con
sent taken in the manner above set
forth shall be sufficient for all, and
that each applicant is not required to
take seperate lists or enumerations.
