Prior to sailing home by the Aquitania Sir Auckland Geddes gave an interpretation of. the clauses-of the liquor treaty. There would be no difficulty to determine tho jmurs of steaming and tho distance. The officials could easily decide the speed and time necessary by an examination of the engines.—A. and N.Z. Cable. POLISH LEGATION. MR HUGHES EXPLAINS. NEW YORK, January 25. The New York ‘ Times’s ’ Washington correspondent says that the State Department is more or less perturbed as tho result of attempts by over-zealous members of the police to enforce prohibition. Mr Hughes to-day wrote to the Polish Minister (Mr Wrobbeswki) expressing regret that the police had entered the Legation, complaints having been made that diplomatic immunity had not been observed. Mr Hughes, however, concluded by stating that it had been determined that the secretary had in his possession a quantity of alcoholic beverages greatly exceeding the privileges and immunities accorded in this regard, and it had been a matter of concern that diplomatic immunity had been abused. Mr Hughes, however, stated that he was o-lad to learn that tho secretary had been transferred to Warsaw.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
