The Chicago Custom House MIDDLE
Desperation of the whisky
Ring.
CHICAGO, Aug. "a.
A Washington special says there Is
to be a new deal in the Chicago Custom
House middle. 50 much influence
has been brought to bear upon the
President and Secretary Bristow that
they have jointly decided upon the APP
pOintment OF another commission
large enough to contain the movement.
The engineer, architects and builders
of the country are to secure "A final re-
port in this matter, which must end
the controversy upon the subject. The
commission is made up OF so many
lights of their respective professions
that it is already known as the High
Joint Commission. IL consists of seven
members, who have all signiiied a viii
lingness to serve. They arrived in the
city this evening with Secretary Bris-
tow. The following is a list OF the
High Joint Engineers: Gen. VIM. Ii.
Franklin, Hartford Conn; Gen. j.
Wilson, New York; architect, G. st.
John Macarthur, Philadelphia; Henry
Bradley, Boston; builders, N. j. Dob
bins of Philadelphia, and Andrew
Kennedy ofSt. Louis. 1t will he seen
that the East has a preponderance OF
members. This shows a lack OF any
possible prejudice. John Macarthur,
Of Philadelphia, is the architect of the
new city hall there, which will be as
large as the national capitol building.
Dobbins is the builder of the Centen-
NAL building. All are men OF high
character and their united opinion Will
constitute a decision from which no
appeal can be expected.
The leading Washington special says
the Treasury Department has received
conclusive evidence to show that the
whisky ring has decided to murder if
necessary to protect is members. The
circumstance which points directly TO
this conclusion is the attempted assas-
sination off. L. Miller in Chicago last
Friday night. Miller was formerly
United States Gauger and was dis
charged last May for violating the
rules and regulations of the Internal
Revenue Bureau. His offense was
technical and not of a criminal charac-
ter. He subsequently voluntarily
gave the Government very valuable
information. He implicated in the
whisky frauds persons who stood high
in social and civil positions in Chicago,
whose names have never yet been
mentioned in this connection. This
disclosure astonished the Treasury OIL :
Gals, the officers of the Internal Rev
enue and Secret Service, who had pre-
viously had the most knowledge OF the
inside workings of the ring, and
through whose efforts, in a great meas
ure, the plans for the secrets had been
made known. The ring fully under
stood the matters and means Of know
ing of their operations. Through
treachery they learned that he had in
some way communicated this inform
alton to the Government, and knowing
that his evidence could only be given
orally in a criminal case and could not
be practicable by dispositions, the ring
seem to have determined to prevent
Miller from yer reaching the witness
stand. The information in the posses
sion of the Treasury Department indi-
Gates the ring sought to accomplish it,
purpose by the hands of al assassin
last Friday night.
