WASHINGTON May 1.-THE first evidence that
the Whisky Ring had begun 10 recover from the
effects of the surprise OF Monday reached the
Treasury Department to-day in the form OF dis
patches from prominent persons In the West asking
for delay in order that the OF distiercs and
rectifying houses might have time TO arrange for
compromises or releases. To all of these a prompt
denial was teegraphed, and the law will he allowed
to take its course. The new Commissioner, Pratt
spent the day in consultations with the Presi-
dent Secretary of the Treasury, and solicitor, ana
also called upon Commissioner Douglass. lie Will
fullv familiarlze himself with the methods Of doing
business in the Bureau and will give his attention
to partial reorganization of the force before assum
ing charge of the office. One of his first duties Will
be 70 rearrange the duties Of the % special agents
and 10 organize a force of clerks TO examine and
compare the papers that sent to the Bureau bnt
which have not heretofore been carefully Inspected
These examinations have thus far been made since
the present investigation began, by Mr. r. w.
Winslow Of the Solicitors office, one OF the few
men who were intrusted with all the secrets and
who rendered very efficient all. The examinations
are still continuing the papers relating 10 Cincinnati
and Louisville being under inspection.
Two houses were seized at Pekin, H., to-day,
one a rectifying house, owned by Coblegh. and tho
Pekin Alcohol Works. Other evidence, still being
collected, will probably lead to other seizures.
At st. Louis, in three of the distilleries. secret
doors TO the cistern rooms were discovered, and in
one of them hole bored in the cstern and
large part of the spirits that had been seized was a.
lowed to run out before the officers die
covered the trick. In Of the -. LOUIS
houses also the keeper left in charge by the
United States officers betrayed his trust and
allowed the owner to burn up his books
and papers. In the same city 275 barrels OF high
wines found stored in the establishment Of G. Benz
berg were stamped in such way AZ TO arouse susp-
cion that fraud had been committed, and they were
seized. At Chicago no Government storekeepers
were found in the vicinity Of two houses. Twelve
hundred barrels of highwines were seized ss the
Union Copper Company's distillery m the same city
Unusual and unnecessary delay having occurred a.

of matters there and full authority and INSTRUCTIONS
have been sent him to-day.

THE CANAL REPAIRS APPROPRIATION

THE CANAL REPAIRS APPROPRIATION.
PASSAGE OF THE BILL IN THE sENArE-rHE TOTALS
REDUCED.
lFRoM A RrGCIAR CORRESPONDENT or THE rRIBuSEJ
ALBANY, May 1.-The Canal Repairs Ap-
preparation bill up in the Senate to-day for fnal
passage. While II was in Committee OF the Whole last
evening strong speech by Mr. Parnenter induced the
Senate TO place in 1t an appropriation for the Improvement
OF Champlan Canal TO the amount OF e25O,OOO, by "a
close This morning the Senate began work with
sharpened appetite for economy and on the third read
ing cut only the entire Chanpain appropriation
of last night but also $4,000 item for new dam at
Waterloo The champion Of the raid against the Cham
plain appropriation was Senator johnson, who
bewidering experience of the operations or
the laws Of compensation Ivy having his own arguments
used with irresistible against him in the elimination
from the bill OF the Waterloo appropriation, which
proved to be pet measure Of his own.
Mr.. Lowery obtained the amendment OF an item au-
thorzing Utica 20 construct iron pipe under
the canal in that city at her expense by the appro
priaon of $1,000 for the purpose OF the State, while Mr.
Lord who asked $4,000 for similar purpose in the
city OF Rochester, refused. so strongly did the
spirit Of economy prevail that Senator Woodn who
bears the reputation Of molding the Senate as he
chooses failed TO insert three small items for bridge at
Palmyra Sc, 900 for drain al Clyde, $1,000 and for
the drainage Of marsh lands at Montezuma $4,000 all
OF which voted down.
Mr. Lanng offered amendment providing for the
continuance OF the work or protecting the canal against
the OF Lake Erie between the Erie Basin
and Black Rock Pier TO the extent necessary TO pre-
serve the work already commenced which also voted
down. Mr. Lanng renewed the amendment, and specl-
fed the appropriation at 100000 but that also was voted
down.
Mr. Lord offered an amendment TO the effect that all
work not now under contract appropriation for which s
made by the provisions OF this act shall be done by the
day under the direction OF the Canal Commissioners in
their respective districts and he offered an argument
against the contract system which served well to en-
hancc the reform reputation which he claims for himself
The Senate seemed TO be under the impression, however
that the motion intended to tie up the hands OF the
Canal Commissioners rather than reform the contract
system and after some sharp opposition MI LORD, Win
the air Of a defeated patriot withdrew IT,
The bill was then passed by vote OF 26 Yeas to Nays
nome The bill, 1t stands, approprates S352l5
reduction upon it, passed in the Lower House, OF
$4,000.
By the striking ont OF the Tax Levy clause IN the
Assembly bl this measure becomes o simple bill for
ordinary repairs and the amount appropriated mnst be
maid from the revenues OF the canals alone. III the
House concur in the amendment by which the Tax Levy
s stricken ont an annual tax for extraordinary repairs
estimated as high as S2OOOOO0, will be saved TO the
people OF the State.
