Regulating the Process for Making

Regulating the Process, for Making
Whisky Vinegar.
WASHINGTON CITY, July 5.-The ways
and means committee has reported bill en-
tirely changing the process of making
whisky vinegar. The report of the commit
tee says:
"Under the law as it now is, the manu-
featuring of vinegar by the process of
vaporization can be used successfully as a
fraud on the revenue It was proved be-
fore the committee that by this process
four gallons Of proof spirits can be manu-
factured from a bushel of corn, that more
than 81 per cent of spirits in addition to
that needed in the vinegar can be success
fully hid in a barrel of vinegar, and by re-
distillation can be separated therefrom !;
that fraud has been perpetrated on the
revenue by factories claiming to be vinegar
factories The tax on spirits is from 800 to
400 per cent greater than the cost of pro-
duction. A gallon of vinegar can be manu-
factured by this process at perhaps, from
4 to cents and spirits at 14.14 cents a
gallon"
The bill repeals the law of June IA, 1879,
relative to vinegar factories and their pro-
ceeds to enact that no mash or wort for dis
tillation shall be made except in licensed
distillery, and no person but an authorized
distiller shall separate the alcoholic spirit
from any such mash or wort, and no person
shall use alcoholic spirits in the manu-
facture of vinegar or anything else unless
they were made in an authorized distillery
and the tax paid thereon.

WASHINGTON CITY, July 5-Chairman
Oberly, of the civil service commission, fur.
nished Friday copy of new and important
regulations, which have been formulated
and adopted by the commission to govern
local boards OF examiners for the classified
postal and customs service. The main
feature Of these new rules is that local
boards are prohibited from furnishing to
the appointing or recommending an official
a list Of eligibles, as is alleged to have been
done by Mr.. Eaton in the Baltimore post
Office case, resulting in securing solid
Democratic force Of clerks to succeed dis
missed Republicans Another important
rule is that the names Of the board of exam
iners appointed shall be submitted to the
commission and receive confirmation before
they can act.

THE BOND ROBBERY CASE.
Irregularities Dating Back for Twenty
Fivo

Irregularities Dating Back for Twenty
Five Years Discovered.
PHILADELPHIA, July 5.-The new de-
Velopments in the bond-robbery from the
Chesapeake & Delaware Canal company ars
that the two expert accountants engaged in
going over the books get deeper and deeper
into the mire Of crooked figures. They find
that the irregularities date back probably
twenty-five years, and in that interval
the loan has been wonderfully
tangled. President Gillingham said:
"Of the entire sum stolen it is
probable that one-half was to pay in
terest The average market price of the
bonds for years was about rs per cent Of
their face value, SO that it is possible that
not more than 500, 600 in cash was ever
used by the two men. 1t is generally con-
ceded that the greater part of this was used
by Lesley, who was a man Of expensive
habits and bad morals"

THE LAKE SHORE STRIKE.

All the Switch Engines at Work-Appre-
hensiFe of Trouble.
CHICAGO, July 5.-Every switch engine
was busily engaged in making up trains at
the Lake Shore freight yards Saturday
morning. The usual number Of Pinkerton
rifemen answered roll-call and received
their details to guard the employees and
property of the road. Not so large force
of Lake policemen reported for special duty,
however. No apprehensions of trouble were
entertained, though there is no reason to
suppose that the withdrawal of the guard
could be safely accomplished
The stock yards establishments and the
packing houses in "Packertown" shut down
Saturday evening until next Tuesday
morning to give their employees the benefit
Of the national holiday on Monday. As
there are about twenty five packing houses
in the district, employing an aggregate of
at least 20, ,00O men, who are pretty generally
in sympathy with the strikers, very grave
fears of a riot ara entertained should the
Lake Shore officials attempt to operate
freight trains Sunday and Monday.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 5-The Grand
lodge of the Protective Brotherhood of
Railway Postal Clerks, was in session here
Friday, and at a late hour it had not ad-
Journsd The proceedings were kept as Sc.
crst as possible. The lodges represented
are Crestline, Peoria, Cincinnati, Columbus,
Chicago and Kansas City. The subject.
matter has been the consideration of the
recent removals and what is best to be done
under the circumstances One of the quail
fcations for membership is that all the
members shall place their designations in
the hands of the executive committee, which
is composed of c. c. Meade and R +. Robb,
of this city, and Murdoch Hollingshead, of
Crestline. The propriety of sending their
designations to Postmaster General Villas
has been fully discussed, and, while many
were in favor of immediate action, the
majority seemed to recommend sending on
committee to see the postmaster general
to seek redress for their grievances, remind
ing him of his promise not to make re-
movals for political reasons; asking
him to reinstate those clerks who
have been removed on the false charges of
conspiracy, and demanding that in the
future all clerks removed from the service
be furnished with a copy Of the charges
against them and the names of the persons
making them, and if Mr.. Villas refuses to
agree to this the designations of all the
members of the brotherhood will be offersd
at once. Mr.. Meade said: This order is
composed of men Of the highest moral and
social standing, and they will not permit
the consideration of few months salary
to deter them from obeying the dictates of
honor" The following dispatch was sent
Friday to Postmaster Villas:
''The Grand Lodge of the Brotherhood of
Railway Postal clerks is now in session. A
committee has been appointed to wait upon
you and state grievances Will you re-
ceive committee as representing this organ
iZation!"
1t seems that the delegates have not been
instructed by their lodges to present their
designations in case the postmaster general
refuses the committee audience. They are
therefore in quandary. Head Center
Mead received word from the New York
and Pittsburg divisions that while the
brotherhood had not been organized in the
division, there were at least fifty clerks
who would be governed by the action of
the committee, and similar encouragement |
has been received from Chicago.
No answer has been received from Mr.. |
