WAuiIsaoros, D. G., Dec. 2G.-Tho Chicago
Inter- OCEAN which Ienchod here Tonight has
four-coumn article OIL Secretary Dsistow and
tho whisky frauds. which ia regarded hero IS ono
Of tho last desperate efforts Of gang
Of theyus to bo exposed In Chi
cngo. Hints that tho prominent uanipu-
lntorB Of tho Chicago Whisky Hing wore
engaged upon All exposure which would shake
tho Treasury Department woso giTon hero nov-
era! days ago. Tho irst part Of tho article sets
forth TINT Con. Daboook has concluded to go ba-
foro Congressio nal Committee and confess oil
lle knows Of tue Whisky Hing for tho purpose OF
protecting himsof and proving that Gen. BEiatow
ia also deop In tho mud. The theory Of the Inter-
Ocean article is that Bahcook will thon csca;o
punishment by virtue OF al act Of Cougrosspfo-
toclnB witness bofDto its Committees. It is
further alleged TINT Chicago distillers wll also
| come before a Commitree and confcaa, and
thus save themselves mad further, that Mcdonald
will be brought from st. Louis bof0ro sentence,
Md, by giving testimony, will also escapo tho
| pcuitensiary. This iu all utterly absurd. II
| theso mon all appeared before an Investigating
commitieo and confessed tlieiZ connection with
| the Whisky Ring. 1t would not atop legal

does not bar prosecution, but only provides that
Testimony given by any individual eliminating
htmseIf shall not bo used against him In q
! criminal suit. Tile nover prevents tho lndict-
| 1nant ind prosecution Of such wituess, the
caso being proved ngainat him by 9th
