some interesting Disclosures.
CHICAGO, May 16.-In the Mum whiskey
trial to-day, after a number Of witnesses had
been called, Jacob Rehm was called for the
prosecution. Up to this point the testimony
has been calculated. not so much to imphcate
Mum directly, as to show that large sums Of
had been paid to Rehm. who turned them over
to others.
Rehm testified that the first he received for
Illicit transactions was $500 from Mr.. Hesing.
The distillers gradually ad opted the plan of run
ming crooked. and Mum. Bridges. and other
officials allowed 1t and shared profits. He had
paid large amounts OF money to Bridges-prob-
ably forty to forty-hve thousand dollars. lie
bad paid money direct to Num- only once In
1870, <l,OD He always sent a notice to distillers
OF Intended visits from Government officials.
On cross-examination Rehm said he was frst
soduced into whiskey stealing by A. c. Heslng.
lie proceeded TO state how the case was pre-
sented TO him by Hesing; how the various dts
tiers paid large amounts as election assess
ments. OF these Rehm was the disburser lie
big share Of this.
Ward knew where this money came from and
that It was Illegally obtained In March, 1875
Munn Inspected the establishment Of Roelle 4

and Mum said he ought to report IT, Witness
said better let II go he would settle Il. Wit
ness said he was worth SaO,OOO or more had

Oo TO si2N,OOO, and used from $1,000 to $4,000
In politics. He had never been promised
Immunity by the Government, but 1t had been
intlmated that, Il he turned states evidence,
the court will take IL into consideration.
;. j. Conkhng. formerly Revenue Agent In
Milwaukee, testified that Mum had made to
him story OF fraud, while riding to distillery
IN Milwaukee, and that he had received money
from the distllers there, which he paid to Mum.
AT the conclusion Of the testimony for the
day, which concludes the prosecuting evidence,
the Prosecuting Attorney having remarke ed that
the evidence was overwhelming, Col. Ingersoll
offered to submit the case Immediately without
renuttln2 testimony or argument. Ihis propo-
s.tl0n was declined. aud Court ad dlourned.

THE LOUISIANA BLOODsHED.
Gen. AuRcr Instructed TO Aid the state Au.
thorities to Preserve the Peace,

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The Cabinet ses-
sion to-day was OF nearly three hours duration,
and 1t IL understood that the Louisiana dificul:
ties were the chief topic OF attention. All the
members OF the Cabinet were:present. A tele.
gram from Acting Gov Antoine Of Louisiana to
Gov. Kellogg, who IS IN this city, was read BY III
President, the purport Of which was that se-
rious disorders bad broken out In East Feliciana
and at other points, and reciting his difficulty In
securing military authority to prevent blood
she'd as well as his apprehensions that further
disorders were probable. The Acting Governor
also telegraphs that the United states authori-
ttos were not inclined to act unless there Is an
actusl violation OF United States laws. The re-
suit OF the consideration OF the matter In the
Cabinet was the sending Of a telegram to Gen
AuReI, commanding the United States forces IN
Louisiana. instructnR that officer, oil the requi-
sition OF the Governor, and It appearing that the
local authorities are not able to preserve order,
to give such aid rs In his discretion may be
necessary to prevent bloodshed and violence.

GIANT POWDER EXPLOSION.
A New Jersey Mandatory Blown TO Atoms

DOVER N. j., May l6.-A terrible explo-
sion occurred about o'clock this afternoon In
the giant powder works at Drakesville. on the
Delaware, Lackswanna and Western Railway.
The shock was distinctly felt here, although the
place Is over Ave mies distant. The accident
was In the mixing room, where Frederick John

Both were blown to atoms; a few fragments

the BELKNAP IMPEACHMENT.
How the senate Stands on the Question OF
Its Own Jurisaiction.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-It is said that the
Senate will conclude its discussion Of the ques-
tion OF jurisdiction in the Belknap case to-mor-
row. The only argument thus far made against
jurisdiction by Democrat was made to-day by
Senator Eaton Of Connecticut. There may pos
sl6ly be Others Of the same faith who will sup
port his view OF the case, but IL is understood cd
that Senators Thurman, Bayard, Stevenson,
Maxey, and Ransom, the ablest Demcc cratic
lawyers, are decidedly for jurisdiction. Tie
Republicans for jurisdiction are led by Senator
Edmunds, who has NJ ade a very able argum ent
OF considerable length in support of his view. 1t
Is the opinion OF those best Informed as to the
temper Of the Senate that there will be at least
twotnrds vote in favor OF Jurisdiction. The
only argument OF any moment yet made by a
Republic q Senator against Jurisdiction was
maGe by Mr.. Christiancy. II Is generally be-
lieved that Belknap's counsel will allow the case
TO 60 by default unless more than one-third OF
the Senate votes against jurisdiction. II more
than one-third oppose Jurisdiction, the counsel
will make vigorous defence In the hope that
the same Senators will vote for acquiti al on the
ground that the Senate has no Jurisdiction.
