COMPETITIVE DRILL
Befweem the West Point RIGS and
Aberdeen Guursts-rbe Former
Victorious.

Special to the Appeal
ABERDEEN, Miss November 3.-The fair
grounds were filled TO overfowing at an
early hour by an expectant audience, col
leOted together from all parts of this and
adjoining States to witness the competitive
drill between the West Point Riffs and the
Aberdeen Guards. The cadets objected to
by the Rifles withdrew. The Rifles led off
by drill OF two hours, in which they dis
played great uniformity in various evolu-
tions, making few company errors After
gaining many friends among the audience
they retired amid resounding cheers. The
Guards then came forward in their neat blue
uniforms, presenting such pleasing contrast
TO the hashy dresJ OF the Rifl % as TO COM
pletely take the hearts OF the audience by
storm, and elicit rounds of applause. They
made few error, aud it was doubtful VINO
volld win, until the award was made to the
Rifles. The Guards have only been under
the present organization three weeks; the
R.hes eight months. Every one is highly
pleased with this, the largest fair ever held
here,

In the House of Commons day Hugh
Childers, Secretary OF State for the Wal
Department, said that Gen. Wolseley stated
that the English troops were justified in al
tending the holy carpet ceremony, because
their presence was necessary TO preserve
order.
Sir Charles Dixie, under foreign secre-
tary, announced that none of the great
powers had made any representation con.
eerning Earl Dufferin'4 mission. The Porte
had made a representation, but the govern
ment had sent satisfactory note, saying no
change in diplomatic relations was intended,
and with that assurance Turkey had ex-
pressed herself we'll satisfied.
Debate on the cloture was then resumed,
and Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Liberal,
moved as an amendment 10 the measure
that it should require 6Ye-eighths of the
members present on any occasion 10 put the
cloture in operation.
Gladstone objected 10 this amendment. 1t
was substantially the same as that for a
two-thirds majority which the House had
voted down. 1t was open TO the same OBJ
lections as the previous amendment, and was
but little less Objectionable.
Sexton made a speech, the purport of
which was that the Irish party pinned their
faith neither TO the government nor TO the
opposition. They had declined to place
power in the hands OF the Conservative
leader by making it necessary to get his
assent for the operation of the cloture. On
Harcourt's amendment the vote stood: Nays,
146; yeas, 40.
Debate on the cloture continued till mid
night.
w. H. Smith, Conservative, proposed an
amendment, in which he was supported by
Stanley Cross, for recording a protest against
the cloture in the journals of the House, if
ten members wished.
Gladstone, John Bright and Harcourt op-
posed the amendment, which was rejected

WHISKY INTERESTS.
Meeting of Representatives of Western
DisfiIIeries AT Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, November S.-A meeting, in.
formal in its character, composed of repre-
sentstIves OF all the distilleries in the Gin
cinnsti district, was held this afternoon 10
discuss the situation with reference TO The
break in the Western Export Association.
There was no organization aud no formal &C.
ton, but long time was spent in 4 very free
interchange of views with reference TO the
causes that have led to the rupture of the as
sociatioD. 1t was suggested that there were
burdens imposed which made it necessary to
keep the price of whisky too high, and as a
result bonded whisky was put on the IN arket.
The chief OF these burdens was to be found
in the practical working of the rule which
permitted members TO purchase the capacity
of other establishments. 1t was more
than hinted that some of the distilleries
were bought that would never be running
upon their own capital, thus unnecessarily
increasing the total producing capacity of
the association. 1t was also very generally
agreed that the price of capacity should be
ten cents, instead of fiflSen cents COM
mittee of five was appointed to investigate
the matter OF the purchase of questionable
distilleries. Beyond this no action was taken.
Meantime the association remains disrupted,
and It's restrictions are not enforced.

INTO ITS AFFAIRS

INTO ITS AFFAIRs.
WASHINGTON, November 3.-The commits
sion appointed to examine into the New Or
leans cllsiOmnouse has submitted report 10
Secretary Folger, in which they recon- mend
that the salaries Of the naval officer and sur
yeyor be oqualizsd, each to receive $500
per annum, and suggest that their deputies
should receive safHry OF $Z000 each, and
that the pr sent force in those Offices is as
large az the exigencies of the servics require.
For the warehouse department the report
recommends the sbolishment of two highly
paid positions, and making two clerkships
at a compensation fully adequate 10 the du-
ties and responsibilities. The salaries of the
naval officer and surveyor are recommended
70 be placed at the lowest rate, $500, for
the reason that it is deemed that both estab-
Iishmenis over which those officers preside
are delriment Tather than benefit TO the ser,
vice. and II retained II should be at the least
possible cost consistent With the dignity OF the
position. A reduction of $500 per snpuu OF
the deputy naval officer and surveyor Is
recommended. The total decrease in ex-
penditurss recommended by the report is
shout Sl07 900 per annum. The consoiida-
tion OF the three Neutrality-suspicious. at PISS a
Loutre, Southwest Pass and South Pass at
the Pump" is recommended, which will re-
duce the expense of this station $4,000. 1t
