FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
California Crooked whisky.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE final re-
port Of Supervisor Hawley relative to
the operation Of the Internal Revenue
force In California has been received by
Commissioner Pratt. The report is ac-
companied by the resignation OF Mr..
HaWley, who is now on his way home in
the East. No appointment will be made
to I'LL the vacancy unless Congress fails
to abolish the office Of Supervisor. Mr..
Hawley's report is full of important In
formation, and shows that the Govern
ment has, in the last five years, been de-
frauded Of nearly 81, ,000, 900 by illicit dis
tillers in California. When investiga-
tions were first started in San Francis
co a strong pressure was brought to bear
upon the President and Secretary Bris-
tow by the most prominent politicians
in California to have them stopped, but
without success.
The Cabinet Meeting
yesterday was unusually long, lasting
three hours. The riot in Louisiana was
under dis cussion, besides other busi-
ness. A dispatch from the Acting Gov
ernOr Of Louisiana W as read, stating that
serious and bloody riot had occurred
in East Feliciana Parish, and that fur
ther bloodshed was imminent; also, that
OH account Of there b. no appropria-
tion to arm the State militia the State
Government is powerless to preserve the
peace. He further says that General
Augur refused to permit United States
troops to interfere. He asks that in-
structions be sent 10 General Augur to
preserve peace.
1t was the general opinion of the Cabi-
net that the State Government should
have at least made an effort to preserve
peacet thar an appeal to citizens to turn
out, and aid the State officers, would
have tested the question as to whether
or not the good citizens, in preserving
the peace or BY refusing to do SO, en-
couraged the rioters to further deeds OF
violence. 1t was claimed that if the
State Government had pursued such q
course and tailed, there would have been
less objection to inter erence Of the Fed
eral forces. However, in view of the
prospect of immediate further rlOting,
| 1t was deemed for the best interest OF all
concerned, to instruct General Augur to
preserve the peace, and accordingly,
soon alter the adjournment OF the CaDi-
net, dispatch was sent him to that
effect.

resolution afterwards adopted unani-
mously, it was ruled that all resolutions
pertaining to platform be referred to the
proper committee without debate.
The various districts reported the
nominations made in caucus (which are
printed above) and all were declared
elected.
The Convention then adjourned, to
meet at 2 O'Clock.
Recess Notes.
During recess the Committee on Reso-
lutions met and is now at work with no
prospects at this writing Of very soon
driving at anything like harmonious
report. The "no step backwards" men
are rampant, while the friends of Mr..
Thurman and the more moderate of the
supporters Of Allen are endeavoriDg to
arrive at a satisfactory result on the
basis OF demanding a repeal OF the Re-
tional bank circulation, and the substi-
tuition of direct government issue re-
deemable In gold.
A leading member Of the Sixth District
delegation remarked this morning that
the Enquirer did more injury to the
Democratic party than all the RepubIi-
can papers in the State.
The knowing ones now insist that on q
motion to instruct, Allen will have a
small majority, but Thurman's hackers
still refuse to concede the point.
Hon. j. s. Gordon, who, by the way: is
beginning to be pretty generally spoken

from the First District, got in some good
| licks for Thurman this morning.
Next to the financial issue the cues.
| tion of being able to finish up to-day is
Iuppermost in the minds OF good many
delegates.

lows for permanent officers OF the Con-
vention:

THE DEMOCRACY.

PROCEEDINGS AT EXPOSITION HALL.

The city has for the last thirty-six
hours been alive with Democrats eager
10 know what the final result of to-day's
Convention would be. The fight between
Allen and Thurman is the most bitter
ever known in the history Of the party,
and until the actual count is made it
will be impossible to tell how the Ohio
Democracy stands. Exposition Hall is
admirably arranged for the Convention,
and, thanks to Messrs. O'Neil and
Shank, the delegates will have the most
comfortable time they ever had at a
State Convention.
The accommodations are ample and
perfect, and the decorations in most
excellent taste. Never did Exposition
Hall look more inviting, and never was
hitter fight carried on with the personal
comfort OF the combatants more thor
otIghly looked after.

designated, this morning, and agreed

Chicago whisky Crookedness

BY American Press Association to the STAR.
CHICAGO, May 1.-THE trial Of Dan.
Mum for whisky frauds is constantly
becoming more interesting, and develop.
ing, as 1t does, a larger amount OF crook
edness than the unipitiated had even
dreamed OF. Gaugers and distillers
have confessed to tho most unparalleled
perjury and corruption, and with strik-
Ing impartiality have sought to drag all
the prominent names they could think
ever, for Ex-Superintendent Of Police
Rehm to cap the climax by his remarka-
Bile testimony. He is known as the
Arch Conspirator and Ringmaster, and
has turned States evidence, hoping
thereby to secure mitigation Of the
sentence.
After giving a running sketch OF his
history, he testified that the first money
he received for Illicit transactions was
$500 from Mr.. Hssing. The distillers
gradually adopted the plan OF running
crooked whisky, and Mum, Bridges and
other officials allowed IL and shared the
profits; had paid large amounts Of money
to Bridges, probably $4,000 to s45, 900;
paid money directly TO Mum only once,
In 1875, $1,000; he always sent n6tlce to
ulStllttKe vi Autcuu0u Vtbttb lIOn uoV-
ernment officers.
On cr0ss-examination Rehm said he
was first seduced into whisky stealing
by A. q. Hesing. Witness proceeded to
state how the case was presented to
him by Hesing; how the various distil-
leries paid large amounts as election as
sessments; Of these Rehm was the dis
burser; he paid to Hon. j. D.. Ward
$25, 900; Hesfng got big share OF this.
Ward knew where this money came
from, and that 1t was illegally obtained.
