THE WInSKEY BILL SCANDAL.


WAsuINGToN May 5.--The Senate to-day passed
a resolution offered By Senator Window, creating IA
committee of five Senators to inquire whether any
money was raised by the promoters Of the Carlisle
Whiskey bill to its passage, and, If so, what
was done with il. There was no discussion OF the
measure, and no opposition. 1t is understood that
one piece of information which has reached Senator
Window aud which will be investigated, Is 10 the
effect that a certain prominent distiller was as
sessed ~ 900 in advance to secure the passage of
the Carlisle bill, aud that he refused 10 pay the
money If a single distiler was assessed 50 large a
sum IL is inferred that the aggregate sum raised, or
ATTEMPTED 20 be raised, was hing enormous,
The ultimate fate OF the bill Is doubtful, WIN
the chances somewhat adverse. IL Is sad by
the opponents of the bill that the desire TO effect an
indefinite ex enson Of the bonded period i only
pretense IL has been represented that very large
proportion of the 1000, 900 gallons now III bond
must, under the present law, be Withdrawn I'M
mediatey and that the necessity for raising the
money 20 pay the taxes will bankrupt the distlIefs.
n is said chat this is misrepresentation ana that
only 5000 900 gallons must necessarily be WITH
drawn within the next twelve months The change
in the bonded system Is said 10 be the most impor
tant feature OF the bill. Under the present Ian the
