THE WHISKY FRAUDS.

New YORK, Dec. 15.-To-day's Times has
the following dispatch from q special CORE
spondent detailed to investigate the whisky
frauds in Chicago:
To-day, for the first time, it has become
known with positveness that there was a
gigantic whisky ring, with its headquarters in
Chicago, similar in all material respects to
the whisky rings Of ST. Louis, Milwaukee,
Evansville and probably New Orleans.
cit has been impossible heretofore to make
that statement with any degree of certainty,
owing to official complications calculated to
suppress Developments. There has been
nothing but surface indications since the first
seizure. The Grand Jury found indictments
against only a few of the distillers and recti-
fiers and gaugers. 1t went no deeper and
there was nothing but the present disposition
of every community to suspect all persons
that justified the assertion of higher official
personages with regard to revenue frauds.
"There has also been persistent effort on
the part Of interested persons to spread the
impression that the revenue frauds in this city
were merely the result of individual andinde-
pendent efforts; that is, that there was no
combination outside of each individual dis
tiller, with his gauger, and no central and
systematic organization for plumber extend
ing to the higher revenue officials, and imply
ing an official guarantee of protection against
exposure and punishment
"This theory has been generally accepted
heretofore and received confirmation in the
character of the indictments returned 1t is
now reasonably certain that the theory is en-
tirely false, and that the revenue frauds have
been worked out by the same means and
through the same machinery and with the
same systematic division Of spoils as in St.
Louis. The facts seem to justify the recent
change in the Office of the u. S. District At
torney in this city.
