CHICAGO June 27.--Tne Committee OF
fifteen distillers of the National Export A.
socia'iou, met here to dsy. One of the N ain
question: for settlement WAS whether the
present rate of msshiug, as agreed OF some
time since, iweny per cent. of capacity of
each dis;illery, should be continued beyond
July 1s!, the date 10 which the agreement
originally extended. The COMMITTEES decided
to recommend that this sgreement be
contiHued in force till the stock OF
spirits on hand shsws perceptible sigus
of decrease. The QUESTION OF f,rming
a new poo in September, the date at which
the present pool e1pir,s, was not definitely
acted on. The highwlne dis,illers were
asked to accept lower rate Of production in
proportion TO capacity than dis;illers of
whisky, In view of the large quantity of
highwines in market. The highwine men
declined this proposition, and il wss decided
to refer the whole question of pool and
limiting production to general meeting of
the members Of the pool to be held in Cui.
cago on the 1lth of July. The complaints
that the Cincinnati distillers had vIolsted

A KNOTEY POINT.

the Illegal New issue,

From the Nashville American, OF yesterd ay-
we learn that Mr.. I. E. Sample, the expert,
who Is examining the new issue Bank OF
Tennessee notes in toe State Treasurer's Of
fee, stated that there were two classes OF
thoseinotes that there would be sme question
about paying, which question would have to
be decided by the Funding Board. The fret
was the notes issued by some of the banks
officers without the color OF the law, who
were down South during the war, and h ad
the plates there, and the second were those
notes, the numbers and description of which
were not upon Mr.. John p Hckmau's re-
port. He said that 80 far, he had DOT been
able TO Distinguish between those two classes
OF notes, and without more reliable dats, he
did not see how the Funding Bosrd could
decide the question. For this reason the
Board will not be likely TO issue certifc ates
for the new issue until they think the bulk
of it is filed, as they can then take more
comprehensive view of the matter. He il

which search is now being made will coon

THE HILL INVESTIGATION.


PART OF THE SUPERVISING ARCHITECT.
WASHINGTON, June 2.-J. NJ. Wilbur
testified before the Hill Investigating Com
mittee to-day that he had an account against
the government for work done at the New
York posloffice. He presented the account
to Hill, who said it was all right, but Hill
said he ought to get something for settling
such an old claim. He referred witness to
Cannon, an employe in his Office, who took
him aside and told him they ought to have
ten pr cent. for settling the BILL Witness
did Dot assent, and subsequently the claim
was disalloweI. The N alter was considered
by Congress, and the Committee on Claims
made favorable report. 90 the hearing
before the Ssnats committee Hill appeared
AID opposed the claim.
Upon crcss-examinatien, witness said the
reason he did not AXE a record of the COZ
versatiou 10 which Hill asked for compensa-
ton for settling the claim, was that he
| thought il rather strange proceeding on the
part OF a government official, but was a
| stranger in Washington at that time, and did
no. kaow bur such was the custom with Off.
cisls here. Hill did not ask for ten per cent,
bat said he must have something, and Intro
duced winners to Cannon. who indicated that
ten per cent. wss the correct figure. Witness
considered Hill aud Cannon one and the
| same, as FAR "a the proposition was concerned.
! The articles OF copartnerehip between
| Cannon, Simons ami johnson were then put
| in evidence. They bore date OF 1874, and
! one Ct the stipulstions was to the effect that
in ali contracts obtained from any of the de-
partments, L. E, Cannon should receive ten
| cents for every ton of stone or material
| hauled by said firm, which should constitute
his full share of the profits from that branch
| of the bus mess, but that in all other profits
he should share equally with the other part
ners.
The opinion of Assistant Secretary French,
| favorable to- Wilbur claim, was then pnt in
| eyidence, as also the opinion OF Secretary Sher
man, which referred the matter TO Congress
| for action.
Witness said he called Hills attention to
the fact that Cannon was interested in con-
tracts, and asked his dismissal, but nothing
was done. Subsequently he reported the
M after to Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
| Mccormick, who, upon investigation, re-
| moved Cannon.
| Cannon then took the stand for the de-
fence, and swore that no proposition ad b. en-
made by him for ten per cent. Of Wilbur's
claim for passing it. The firm he was con-
necied with never had contract with the
government while he was in the government
employ. No reason was assigned for his
dismissal from the department. The CO.
partnership of Simons, Johnson and Cannon
was dissolved before Hill became Super
vsing Architect.
| Hill then took the stand, and said tina. a
portion of the testimony of Wilbur was
| true and part false. ~ never had any con-
versation with Wilbur in which it was either
SAID or minated that l would receive or per-
| nit any mpspsatioD for the settlement of
the claim This charge of Wilbur was abso-
luteIy falte" Adjourned
