\ Case Of BIackmaiI.

LONDON, Aug. 13.-Mr. Francis. the
gentleman who yesterday flogged Mr..
Pearce for the alleged betrayal of the for
mer's daughter, to-day instituted criminal
action against Mr. Pearce. Yesterday the
latter explained the difficulty TO q reporter
of the Pail Mall Gazette by saying that the
charge of seduction was false and the whole
thing but case of blackmail OF a peculiarly
bad kind. For this statement Mr.. Francis
brings action. lie says he thought Mr.
Pearce had done him wrong. sufficiently
cruel in hetraying his daughter under the
guise of friendship. without adding the in
suit of describing the family as blackmail-
erS. Mr.. Pearce is a rich Conservative and
had been selected by the Tories To stand as
their candidate for Glasgow at the coming
election. Mr.. Francis is a gentleman of re-
Spectability and is 4 member of the govern
ment civil service, being inspector of Gus
toms.
Miss Francis admits that she was intimate
with Mr.. Pearce. but says that he did NOT
betTay her. She has not seen him for three
months and since the separation she has
been trying TO earn an honest living. She
eXOnerateS Mr.. Pearce and says her parents
only wish to blackmail him. Mr.. Pearce
says he does not intend To pay any atten-
ton to the action of Mr.. Francis in bring
ing suit against him for libel on the charge
of blackmail. believing. he says, that
Francis is cranky" Mr.. Pearce to-day
attended the first sitting of the commission
on trade depression.

appointment to the civil service law by
saying that it prevented him from doing
what he wanted to. 1t is scarcely probable
that the act can be repealed
THE NEXT CONGRESS,
but it is not improbable that it will be mod
flied. Democratic congressman who have
exchanged views here are i'm favor of modify
ing the act, so as to provide that any per-
son who may have certificate showing that
he or she has passed the regular examina-
ton, shall be eligible to appointment. BY
this plan Democratic congressman would be
enabled to get in their friends and support
ers who would be able to pass examination
and get certificate. The plan
is to do away with the present method of
heaving the civil service commission send
up four names where an appointment is to
be made, and to open the field to all who
may have certificates. This would help
Democratic congressman by putting them in
a position to tell constituents TO pass the
examination first, and they could use their
influence TO provide for them. The grow
ing hostility to the law as it now stands, in
dicateS that a change, or at least modifica-
ton, of the law is probable

planning will Burned.

! CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 13.-At 1:3O
| O'Clock this morning q loud noise, some
thlng OF the nature of an explosion, was
heard, and in another instant flames were
seen bursting out of the large brick build
ing located III the rear of the Sturtevant
planning mills on Stones levee used as the
dry Kiln of the establishment The two
story brick drying kiln, where the fire was
! 1lrst discovered, was instantly surrounded
by network of hose, but the flames had
already burst through the roof and out at
the corners. The bricks were flying in
every direction, and despite the untiring
efforts of the department, it did not take
long to determine that the building was
| doomed. The tiremen then turned their
efforts in the direction of saving the ada
cent property, consisting of piles of lum-
Der, and the large planning mill Immediately
in front of the burning kiln. Considerable
property in the shape of betting was taken
from the mill, and about a wagon load in
! all was thus saved. The theories with ref
erence to the cause of the fire are many
and quite varied, but the most plausible of
all Is that the drying kiln was struck bv
lightning. AT about 8 o'clock the depart
ment, aided by heavy rain, had the fire
completely under control. 1t is thought
$50, 900 will cover the entire loss. The in
Surance covers about twO-thirds of the
total loss. The mill will be rebuilt.
The well-tilled kiln, the stables, the large
storehouse containing 600 doors, were
burned to the ground, and the mill, with
the exception of the engine room on the
south side, was completely Quilted.

CHICAGO, Aug. Congressman r.
w. Townshend, of the Nineteenth Illinois
district, is in the city, a guest at the
Palmer. Mr.. TOwnshend bravely declares
himself an admirer of Mr.. Cleveland.
Speaking of the president, he said: ''From
the time of Washington to the present we
have never had man in the White House
with more iirmneSs of character than Pres
ident Cleveland has shown himself to be
possessed of. This frlnnesS is mistaken by
too many for stubbornneSs. Mr.. Cleveland
does not make up his mind hastily,
and then stand by his conclusions with
muliSh perSiStency. He studies all ques-
tons carefully and thoroughly satisfies HIM
self as to the proper course TO pursue.
His course with the cattlemen illustrates
what have said in this particular, and L
think he acted properly. The cattlemen
must go, even if the army has to be called
on to accelerate their departure"
''Are they earnestly preparing TO gO?"

where talked with several men who are,
understand, interested in the

"Of course if the cattlemen show that they
are acting i'm good faith. President Cleve-
land will doubtless extend the forty days
limit, if a longer time than that is required
to have his orders obeyed." Referring to
Mr.. Cleveland's appointments. Mr.. Town
shend said i'm his district everything had
progressed satisfactorily. Many people,
though with some show of reason,
thought the president was not making
removals fast enough, but everything con-
sidered, particularly Mr.. Cleveland's
civil service notions. it was better TO move
and remove slowly. Mr.. TOwnshend and ex-
Congressman Post Of Wyoming territory,
who is also at the Palmer. held an informal
confab at the hotel i'm the evening. Mr..
Post is Cleveland man, whose name is
permanently mentioned as the next gov
emor of Wyoming. Mr.. Townshed said
the change would probably not be made for
several weeks yet, but he felt confident that
Mr.. Post would receive the appointment.

whisky Frauds.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The internal
revenue authorities have reason to suspect
that there has been an extensive system of
whisky frauds by means of bogus barrels
made of slaves, thickened about the bung-
hole, some of which, as stated in these dis
patches, have recently been discovered in
use in one of the largest distillerieS in Gin
cinnati. Experienced revenue agents are
investigating this subject in New York.
Philadelphia, Cincinnati, st. Louis and
Chicago. Partial reports received from
some of these places tend to increase the
apprehension of the department. Special
Agent Somerville. who is investigating the
diStillerieS at Pekin, Ills, has not found
any of these barrels on the premises,
but it is believed that he has dis
covered that some of them have been
shipped from one of the distilleries to New
York. 1t does not seem the intention of
distlllers, however, TO permit these fraudu-
lent barrels to go into the trade, since they
would, of course, be detected if open to
general inspection. These barrels are de
signed to be used for the purpose only of
what is called dumping" the whisky, or
carrying it from the distillery to the recti-
flying establishment. Upon being dumped"
or left at the rectifying establish

barrels are returned empty to be used again.
one hundred of these barrels would be sui
ticient for the use of a large diSti!lery, and
it would be possible, by means of them. to
defraud the government of perhaps S175

DISCOVERED IN PHILADELPHIA,
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 13.-Another
seizure Of Peoria whisky was made y9Ster-
day at a railroad depot in the city. The
cargo numbered about $50 packages and
was composed of funny" barrels of the
same pattern as those recently found i'm a

that this fraud upon the revenue is confined
SO far as is known 10 several large concerns
i'll Peoria. Three of them have already
been detached it is alleged, in using the
barrels and shipping them far and wide
To just what extent the fraud has been
practiced cannat be told yet, because the
matter is still under investigation. but the
scheme is regarded as one of the most
gigantic swindles ever attempted upon the
government. 1t is said that the entire
country is flooded with crooked barrels.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The question
OF the civil service law and its enforcement
or repeal is assuming no little prominence.
Since the advent Of the present administra-
ton, the Democrats are not so well pleased
with the civil service law as they were in
the minority. They find it a barrier to their
aspirations for office, and now talk
OF a repeal or modification of the
law at the next session of con-
gress is open. This sentiment has
been brought by the experience
of Democratic congressman in irving to get
their friends into place. At every sfen
they are confronted with the civil service
law, The opposition to the law has been
very much strengthened of late among
Democrats, because the constituents of
Democratic congressman have been made To
feel its effect. These constituents who
counted upon places under the new admin
istration have been disappointed, and in
each case the congressman has charged dis
