Walls OF THE WHISKY MEN.

The Disruption of the Pool Imminent
on Account of Broken Agreements a
WASHINGTON. Jan. 16.-Secretary Nc
CullOch to-day transmitted to the House
of Representatives a draft of the bill pre-
pared by the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue to amend the law relating to the
entry of distilled spirits in distillery and
special bonded warehouses and the with
drawal of the same therefrOm. The bill
in brief IS to the effect that the tax on
whisky may be paid when Withdrawn
from bond, and no time limit is placed for
such withdrawal.
The provision for withdrawal for export
is not changed. The Secretary of the
Treasury strongly recommends the i'm
mediate passage of the bill, as tending to
and as an act of justice to the makers and
holders of whisky.
DISRUPTION OF THE POOL IMMINENT.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 16.-There is danger
of disruption of the whisky pool. The
difficulty now arises from complaints by
some of the creditors that obligations
have not been promptly met, and threats
are openly made to break the pool if the
matter is not settled. The present pool
assumed the Indebtedness of the former
one and agreed to make assessments to
pay that debt in three INSTALL
ments, beginning Jan. 1. No as
sessments for this purpose have
yet been made. Another cause of COM
plant is that payment for capacity to
distillerles that are not operated has not
been made since Dec. 10. A circular has
been received from President Miller say
ing that the assessments for old indebted
ness would be attended to soon, but the
complainants here estimate that by the
time the assessments are ready to be
collected the circumstances will be such
as to cause a total default in that regard

RUINED BY GREEDY HEIRS
SISTERS OF CISCO BLAMED FOR
HIS SUSPENSION.

Demand for an mediate Settlement
of the Estate Said to Have Caused the
TrOuble-NO Statement Yet Made by
the Olivers-42O Failures Last Week
According to Dun n Co.'s Report.
NEW YORK, Jau. 16.-Up to a late hour
this afternoon there were no failures
growing out of the Cisco suspension. The
accepted reason for the Cisco assignment
now is that the daughters of the late John
j. Cisco, cO-heirs with their brother, Mr..
Cisco, of the present firm, insist upon
having the estate liqui1ated and with
drawing their portion. Under these cir
cumstances and in view of the unsettled
state of affairs generally, it was deemed
best to make the assignment. The firm
had $30O,000 to its credit in the bank at
the close of business yesterday.
DUN s CO.'S REPORT.
The business failures throughout the
country during the last week reported to
K. q. Dun IL Co. number for the United
States 3S2, and for Canada 3S, total of
420 as compared with 457 last week, show
ing a decrease of 81 failures. The figures
are, however, still unusually heavy in
the Western, Southern and Middle States.
OLIVER BROS SUSPENSION.
IIEISBU RG, Jan. IO.-It is expected
that next Tuesday Oliver Bros. Il Phil
lips Will make a formal statement. The
firm says that it will make its statements
to its creditors first and to the public
next, and no information will be submit
ted otherwise. The clerical force of the
firm is busily at work on the books pre-
pairing for the showing. The liabilities of
the firm will reach from $4,000, 900 to
$6, 200, 900. Banks in various parts of the
West hold considerable of their paper.
The Pittsburg banks have decreased
their holdings largely within year, much
of the paper being paid voluntarily by
the firm. In one bank the firm reduced
its paper 100000 in year. Considering
the extent of the firms business but
small part of the suspension falls upon
Pittsburg shareholders. 1t is said Off
cially that several corporations owned
more or less by the firm, but doing sepa-
rate business, will not ask for an eXten-
sion, as they are able to take care of
themselves. This no doubt includes the
FL. b. Scott & Co. Barbed Wire Works |
and the Standard Nut Works.

The SOured Presidential Candidate Try
ing to Defeat the Judges Confirmation.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-John Davis,
nominated yesterday for Judge on the
bench of the Court of Claims, is an honest
man, who did not work for Blaine's cleo
tion last summer and fall. In fact, while
Mr.. Blaine with his retinue of Federal
officials was stumping the country Mr..
Davis was quietly attending to the gov
ernment's business as its Assistant Sec
retary of State. Naturally Mr.. Blaine
does not like Mr.. Davis any more than
Mr.. Davis likes Mr.. Blaine, and he has
set out to prevent his confirmation by the
Senate, meanwhile attacking Mr.. Davis
through his organs. Gail Hamilton is
credited with the authorship of an absurd
attack on MIR. Davis, published in New
York this morning. But Mr.. Davis will
be confirmed. 1t is a sufficient answer to
all insinuatiOns against his ability and
legal requirements that the present men,
bers OF the Court Of Claims approve the

ln-law of Governor and Vice
President George Clinton and ex-
ecutOr of his estate. Among the papers
is a letter dated May II. 1901, to Gov.

some; that he himself was disposed to
make as few changes in office as possible
and to remove only for E'malcOnduct."

inst, was retaken by the national forces
yesterday. Troops have been also to Bue-

tor of the World, is apparently doomed
to undergo the imprisonment Of four
months to which he was sentenced by the
Court of Queens Bench for libelling Lord
LOunsdale. The Court of Appeals to-day
dismissed his appeal against this sentence.
Mr.. Yates decided to abandon the propo-
sition of his counsel to further appeal his
case to the House of Lords. After the
court had pronounced it's decision Mr..
Yates surrendered to the officers, and was
removed from the courtroom and placed in
custody. In serving out his sentence he
will rank as a first-elass misdemeanant.

EXPLOIT OF NOVEL READERS.
Two Portland Boys Succeed in Raising
Brief Excitement


PORTLAND, Me-, Jan. 15.-Two bows of
this city, aged II and IA, have been Great
ing considerable excitement here, as the
result of much novel reading. Last Sun-
day, in order to create a sensation, they
took their revOlvers and started down
street, one on each side. When near
crowded portion of the street the smallest
boy yelled:
"Pve got you," and drew his revolver.
The boy opposite threw up his hands in
token of surrender, but the boy with the
revolver shouted.
"Pve found you at last-die," and fired,
blank cartridge, of course. AS agreed
between them, the eldest brother fell to
the sidewalk, crying:
"I'm shot,"
AS soon as he fired, the small boy took
to his heels and ran away. Only a few
followed him, the largest number giving
their attention to the wounded boy, who
lay on the sidewalk, apparently suffering
in terrible manner. About the time the
boy who fired the shot had been found and
brought face TO face with his victim the
joke was discovered. Later in the day,
through fear of arrest on account of firing
a revolver in the street, as is supposed,
the boys left the city for Boston, although
no one seems to have been disposed to
trouble them.

The Bill just Passed by the Senate
Blaekballed by the House Committee.
w WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-At a recent
meeting Of the House Committee on
Military Affairs, Representative Slocum
was authorized to call up in the House,
at the first opportunity, the first bill
introduced in the Senate at the present
Congress providing for placing Gen.
Grant on the retired list. Alta meeting of
the committee to-day motion authoriZ-
ing MIN to call up the bill passed by the
Senate on Jan. IA, and having for its
object the retirement of Gen. Grant, was
lost by vote of eight to two. Those
opposing the proposition were Messrs.
Rosecrans, Slocum, Morgan, WOllOrd.
Murray, Connolly, Lyman and Bayne;
and those 1avOring it Messrs. CutcheOn
and Steele.
STAND OF THE PORTER MEN.
No formal conferences have been held.
The friends Of Fitz John Porter have
talked about che Grant bill a great deal
IN informal conversation on the floor.
The vote in the House Committee on
Military Affairs on the'Grant retirement
bill today, by which the committee was
pledged to the support of the bill passed
by the Senate last session indicates that
sides of the House have reached a sub
stantial agreement. All the Fitz John
Porter men of both parties of the com.
mIttee voted to support the old Senate
bill for the express reason that they
wanted to present to the President in the
Grant case the same questions that
were presented to him in the Porter
case. They want to see whether he will
decide this case as he decided the Porter
case. They rather hope to see him en-
barrassed and annoyed by a dilemma.
This is not a very noble policy, but it
seems to commend itself to them as af-
fording convenient vent for the i'll feel
ing they have cherished towards the Pres
ident ever since he vetoed the Fitz John
Porter bill. OF course, if all the Fitz
John Porter men will vote for the old
Senate bill, in preference to the new Sem
ate bill, the old Senate bill will be
passed. Then it is quite within the pos
si5ilities that the President may quietly
allow the old Senate bill to become law.
