CHICAGO, August PA Washington
special says there is to be a new deal in
the Chicago Custom-house muddle. So
much influence has been brought to
bear upon the President and Secretary
Bristow thar they have jointly decided
upon the appointment of another COM
mission large enough to contain the
movement of tho engineers, architects
and builders of the country to secure
final report of this matter, which must
end the controversy upon this subject.
The commission is made up of SO many
lights of their respective professions that
it is already known Us the High-Joint
Commission. 1t consists of seven mem
bers, all of whom have signifed their
willingness to serve. They arrived in
this city this evening with Secretary
Bristow. The following is a list of the
High-Joint Commission: Engineers,
Gen. VIM. B. franklin, Hartford, Conn;
Gen. j. II. Wilson, N. Y. Architects,
John Macarthur, Philadelphia; Henry
Bradley, Boston. Builders. r. J. Dob.
bins, Philadelphia; Andrew Kennedy,
st. Louis. 1t will be seen that the east
has the preponderanee of members This

John Macarthur, of Philadelphia, is the
architect of the New City Hall, which
will be as large as the National Capitol
building. Dobbins is the builder of the
Centennial building. and all are men OF
high character. Their united opinion

appeal can be expected.
The leading Washington special says
the Treasury Department has most con-
elusive evidence to show the whisky
ring have decided to resort to murder if
necessary to protect its members. The
circumstances which point directly to
this conclusion is the attempted assas.
snation of ]. e. Miller, in Chicago, last
Friday night. Miller was formerly
United States Ganger, and was dis
charged last May for violating the rules
and regulations of the Internal Revenue
Bureau. His offense was technical and
not of criminal character. He subse-
quently voluntarily gave the Govern
ment very valuable information. He
implicated in the whisky frauds per-
sons who stood high in social and
civil positions in Chicago, whose names
| have never vet beeu mantiopad in tb;,
connection. This disclosure astonished
the Treasury officials and the officers OF
the Internal Revenue and Secret Service,
who had previously had the most knowl
edge of the inside workings of the ring
and through whose efforts in a great
measure the plans for the secrets had
been made. The ring fully understood
matters and means of knowing of theil
operations. through treachery they
learned that he had in some way commu
nicated this information to the Govern
ment, and knowing that his evidenc,
could only be given orally in orimina
> case, and could not be perpetuated b,
4; dispositions prevent Miller from eve
t reaching the witness stand. The infor
nation in the possession of the Treasur,
Department indicates the ring sought t,
y accomplish its purpose by the hands o
a an assassin last Friday night.
