EFFECTS OF THE WHISKY ROUT
Banks Forced to Come to the Rescue
and No Panic Probable.

Banks Forced to Come to the Rescue
and No Panic Probable.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The defeat
of the whisky bill to-day was expected,
but it is matter of good deal of sur
prise that such a majority against it as
102 was obtained. The whisky men ad-
mitted its defeat by a small majority.
Those. opposed to it never thought that
they would have more than 40 or 30 ma
Jority. The speeches made against it
have been particularly strong. The talk
of the whisky ring had a good deal of
effect too. Mr.. BlOunt, of Georgia, made
one Of the strongest arguments against
the bill.
There are many people here tonight
who say that the defeat of the bill tore
shadows a painful stringency in the money
market through the Southwest, and espe-
cially that portion of Kentucky where
the whisky interest is strongest. 1t is
predicted, however, that forcing the pay
ment of the tax upon whisky bonded in
1881, while it will cause considerable
distress among distillers and banks
which have advanced money upon the
fluid, will not create a panic. Many
of the banks in Louisville, Lexington,
frankfort, and contiguous places
have advanced money to the extent
OF forty cents per gallon upon whisky
upon which tax must now be paid. In
order to protect themselves these banks
must make further advance of so cents
per gallon upon every gallon in which
they are interested or lose what they have
advanced. If forced upon the market at
the present time it would be impossible to
realize more than 81 40 per gallon, it is
claimed, and that figure would not cover
the cost to the banker, hence the whisky
will be held or exported to avoid the pay
ment of the tax. For some time it has
been known almost to a certainty that
the bill could not pass, and the effect of
its non passage has in consequence been
discounted. The fact that the bill would
be defeated overwhelmingly became ap-
parent so early in the House that no effort
was made to tack on the bill to restore
the duty on wool

who fled from this city on February 4,
leaving a deficiency of $4,000, was ar
rested in New York last light and brought
to this city this morning.
Church was arraigned in the Police
Court and held to await the action of the
grand jury. His bail was fixed at $25, 900,
and has not yet been procured. Church
says that he first went to Canada and
then returned to the States, and has been
in New York some time. He also says
that he is sorry that he ran away; that
his mental burden was unbearable, and
he promises to do what he can to make
restitution.

Treaty Negotiations Resumed and an
Agreement Hoped for.
PARIS, March 27.-In the Chamber of
Deputies to-day NJ. de Lanessau's inter-
pellatiOn in regard to Madagascar came
up for debate. Prime Minister Ferry
spoke at some length in explanation and
defense Of the governments policy in
Madagascar. He said in substance: The
delegates of the Hovas with whom nego-
tiatiOns were being conducted left Paris
suddenly, without paying their hotel bills,
just when an agreement seemed imminent.
1t is hoped that the negotiations, which
have been resumed, will result in a treaty
which shall guarantee the protection of
the inhabitants OF the north
western district of Madagascar and
of resident Frenchmen, as the
acquisition of land by foreigners, except
Frenchmen, is inadmissible. To raise
the question of sovereignty would involve
a war to the death with the Hovas, and
would necessitate a policy of conquest.
1t is incumbent upon us to be mOdest and
wise in order to obtain practical results.
If, however, the pending negotiations fail
we shall spare no effort to reduce the
HOVas to submission

ductions, but no details were settled, and
the matter of fixing rates was left to the
