t- A total abstiueuce convention, called by
500 Massachusetts clergymen of different
denominations, has agreed to ask for an
aruendment- to the state constitution
similar to the, cast iron one just adopted
by Kangas, preventing both the manufac-
ture and sale of intoxicating liquors.
The new prohibitory law in Kansas com-
pels. every physician to takean oath not to
prepare any article into which alcohol
entere unless it is necessary for the heath
of the patient, and every druggist to take a
similar oath nOt to put up or sell any such
article except by prescription, duly signed,
of a practising physician. Under this law
no one can buy spirits of camphor, cologne
�r flavoring extracts except upon a physi-
cian's prescription.

Serious Riot Amongthe I Sth Moyal Irish
at Aldershot., i
LoNnois, March 17.—A serious riot oc-
curred this afternoon at Aldeeshot. Soon
after 5 o'clock a. large numbee of soldiers
belonging to the 18th Royal IrSsh, together
with Irishmen belonging to other corps,
commenced a disturbance in $hort street,
a disreputable place. They sheuted in loud
tones "Hurrah for Opld Ireland," and
other cries, and flourished knob sticks.
They were soon joined by large numbers.
It being too early for night pickets the few
day provosts tried to secure some of the
leading rioters, but utterly ?failed. The
provosts were driven froM one end
of the street to the other by the
Irishmen, who armed thelbselves with
sticks. The road being newly laid
with gravel the rioters had plenty
of ammunition. The sheuting was
heard all over the town; tee mounted
police galloped to the canp, and the
authorities- ordered the aes mbly to be
sounded in the first and 'gee nd brigades.
They fell in and were immedialely marched
into the town. With fixed beyonets they
attacked the rioters, and broken heads and
windows ensued. The proeest .marefial
and field officers of the day Were on the
spot. Every public house end dancing
saloon was :cleared, and the rioters
were taken prisoners itt great numbers.
The provosts were badly tree 4. Some of
the prisoners were rescued. e town was
43,
in an uproar, and all the ishops were
closed. The • riot lasted pearly three
hours.. It is attributed to erunkenness,
arising from a too free celeheation of bt.

THE TARTAN QUESTION.
PROPOSAL TO CHANGE THE DRESS
OF HIGHLAND REGIMENTS.
The Opponents of the Innovation`
Victorious.
A few days ago, it wee reported in these
columns that the Imperial Government
intended making radical changes in the
tartan dress of the Highland regiments of
the army. Since then later news has been
received which shows that, so far from it
being the intention of the Government to
do away with the distinctive clan tartans,
it has been the desire of the military
authorities to retain, intact, these distinc-
tive features of dress, while at the same
time conforming as closly as possible to
the linked battalion scheme. A couple of
weeks ago the following petition was pre-
sented to Mr. Childers, the Secretary for
War, by a deputation consisting of the
Duke of Sutherland, The Mackintosh,
and Mr. H. Wright. The number of
signatures was stated to be 16,000:
To the Right Hon. Hugh CullingEardley
Childers, M. P.: We, the undersigned,
humbly petition that the tartan dress
hitherto worn by the various Highland
regiments, distinctive of the districts where
they were raised, and in which dress they
have fought with honor and glory, be not
changed, believing that such distinctive
tartans do but add to the espirit de corps,
and that such changes as are contem-
plated are, contrary to the spirit and
instincts of the true Highlander.
Mr. Childers replied as follows, by letter:
Gg.STLEMEN,—The petition which you
have • done me the honor to hand
to me deserves all respect and attention. .
-But I take this opportunity, the
'first which has presented itself to
me, to state to you, and thrieugh
you to those who take an •interest in the
'subject of your petition, that: the main
-designs apparently attributed to us in con-
nection with- the uniforms of -Highland
regiments have no foundation whateeer lin
fact. It has never been my weal Or intens
tion either to abolish distinctive teataneor
to substitute new-fanglee patterns for -the
clan tartans new in vogue, end, -emit of all,
to diminigh the number of - regiments
wearingthe kilt On the :conteery, I knew
enougheof Scotland, and especially of gigh-
lenders, to wish to see the number of
battalione Wearhig these picturesque and
popeilak uniforme increased ; and -whatever
may have been the cilia in past times, When -
frequent changee in tartans took place, I:
Ain Anxious to avoid perpetual alterations
. . -
in the dress of the army, which, for the
"most e peat, only ratite in the benefit. of
Whirs., But when it became necessary to •
consider whether larger regiments shotild.
not be substituted e for the inconvenient
linked battalion seetem now In :force, we .
consulted the colonels of the Scotch. eggi-
monis in. order to see bow, Without making
unnecessary .-changes, regiments with the r-
saine.ueiforms Might be formed Out of the
sexistieg battalions, and I am happy to say
thatewheri your meeting was recently hold, -
-we had arrie'ed IA. 'satisfactory conclusions
with; respect to all but two regiments. I. -
hope; when I move the estimates next
week, te) be able to state; that we have-
reaehed a complete solution - of • this intri-
cate question,- but, meanwhile, / am gled.
to be able to give these assurances to you
and those whom you represent -

that a Complete misconception of the i Gov-
ernment'sintention hasarieeninthe minds
