WASHINGTON, Dec. A. 1876.
There are no public developments OF importance
about the whskey suits here too day. but the ntrgues
and quiet attempts to impede the St. Louis trials and
to influence the President against those who are
active in prosecuting these trials go on vgor-
ously, but SO far unsucccssfully brisk
has been opened on Solicitor Wilson, in which
those who working in the interest OF the whskey
Ring have joined hands with those who sought his
removal last winter account of the energy with
but the Secretary OF the Treasury stands firmly by Mao
Wilson, and Wilson'S removal at this time would un-
doubtedly lead to the immediate resignation Of Secre
tary Bristow
The President has so far refused to listen to those
who urge him TO remove Major Wilson, and has told
them that he approves of the vigor and ability with

been performed.
THE INDIANAPOLIS FRAups
The developments in the whiskey trials at Indanap-
oils begin to attract attention here and II appears that

Commissioner deeply concerned lest all
the facts in connection with the. operations Of
the two Brashers should be developed Some OF the
parties in these Indianapolis trials have made confess
sions and statements which now in possession of

ance, not only in themselves but helps further
Investigations which it anticipated will secure other
indictments.
CHICAGO AND SECRETARY BRIsTow
In connection with these cases. and evidently be-
cause they fear further developments, IL is known
that prominent republican politicians are busy
gagged in attempts TO undermine Secretary Brstow
with the President. They helped in these efforts
by those who interested in stopping proceedings
in Chicago and Milwaukee. There is good to
believe that the day Of exposure for the Chicago
Whskey Ring is near at hand.
A MOVEMENT AGAINST
The efforts of the persons concerned In the Chicago
whskey Ring directed with the greatest vigor
against Solicitor Wilson. Ward, the displaced Dis
trict Attorney has, 1t is said, started story that
Wilson urged him to ndict Hon. G. B. Far
well, and look for evidence against him after
ward Several prominent citizens OF Chicago have
been here, within few days. using every effort to dis
the points of the governments case against the
Ring in that city, but they have not succeeded Their
prominence in Chicago leads TO the belief here that
their anxiety means something, and that when the
lightning strikes in Chicago it will make great
tion throughout the country
