A Strong Combination.

A monster combination of the distillers
and whisky dealers of the west was formed
in Cincinnati last Saturday to force down
the rates On whisky to the east Until the
late meeting at New York, when a change
in classification took place, whisky went as
fourth-class freight. The whisky men OBJ
ject to this, and combination has been
formed, headed by the distillers and
dealers Of Cincinnati, and Joined 10 by those
of Chicago, st. Louis, Peoria, indianapolis
and Louisville, by which they agree to give
all their freights east to the National lire,
operated by the Pennsylvania company.
They claim that they get no reduction
from President Scott or his subordinates,
but that by Withdrawing from all the other
lines they will force them to recognize
their demands and put whisky back into
the fourth class, The Pennsylvania
officials claim that they have made no con-
cession whatever, and that they will de
mand and receive the full rates. Many
others, however, claim that there is some
game in it. and that by means of draw
backs or concessions of some sort the whisky
men will have gained their point. At any
rate, this puts the handling of all whisky
for the east from all the principal western
cities 10 the hands of the Pennsylvania rail
road company, and increases their revenue
at the rate OF full million dollars.

War NEWS.

LONDON, Nov. "A special from Bogol,
about miles south of PlevDa, has the fol-
lowing: The Car arrived here on the
9th of October. The Grand Duke
Nicholas has his headquarters here. Gen.
Todleben is at Tucheritz with his staff.
The prince of Roumania's headquarters
are at Pordiua. The attack on Tehsche,
simultaneously with the capture of Dubuik
on the oath ult., was repulsed with loss
of 1000 men; the loss at Dubuik was 81
600 men; every brigade or regimental
command was killed or wounded, and as
nearly all the officers of guards are person
ally known at headquarters, the fact that
200 officers have been placed hors du COM
bat has cast deep gloom over the staff at
Bogol. The bombardment Of Plevna con-
tinues in desultory way. A special dis

Rappel, says that many republican senators
and deputies have arrived, and although
no formal meetings have yet been held,
there has been frequent consultation there,
but 10 negotiations or overtures for com
promise with the men Of 10th May. No
member of the left has been approached
with this object by any represe Btative,
more or less direct, of the Elysee. In
conversation among members of the re-
Publican party, various contingencies have
been discussed, although of course no res
olution has yet been taken. In the event
of Marshal MacMahon's retirement from
the presidency, Grevy's candidacy will be
unanimously supported. Grevy has al
lowed it to be understood that he would
not shrink from any duty or responsibility
10 the interest of the republican cause.
Should the Marshal retain bis post with
