ILLEGAL WHISKY TRADE.
The Law Prohibiting the Importation of
Whisky Violated in Alaska.

4 sensation is likely to be developed
soon over the state Of affairs in Alaska.
There is a law strictly prohibiting the i'm
portation Of whisky or other ardent spirits
into that Territory. 1t has been known
for some time that the Territory was we'll
supplied with the ardent, and the question
has been raised where it came from. The
Treasury Department finally sent Gen.
West, special agent, TO Alaska, with in,
structions TO fully investigate the matter.
He went, and his report has been received
at Washington. 1t is a very elaborate
document, and full OF the most sensational
statements. He claims that the inporta-
ton Of whisky into the Territory has been q
regularly organized business, and those
engaged in it are reaping elaborate fortunes.
Many names are mentioned in Gen.
Vests report, which the treasury officials
are zealously guarding, as they do not wish
to have anything published prcmatureiv
about it. 1t is claimed that the very
poorest of $,.so whisky is smuggled into
the Territory, and sold at from SO to SS
per gallon. 1t is taken into the Territory
under various devices and labels, and when
it is once landed it is readil sold

sLADsTONE's PROSPECTS.
Too Many Gladstone Candidates for the
Commons.


\ London cable says: O'Connor cables
from London to the Star: Gladstones
time since the announcement Of dissolu-
ton has been almost wholly taken up BY
the selection Of candidates for seats to be
contested. The number Of gentlemen of:
fering themselves is unprecedented and
embarrassing. Instead Of dearth of ap.
p'icants for the honor of fighting under
G.aastone's banner, there are far too many,
and the trouble is to pick out those most
fit. There is danger OF the Gladstone vote
in many constituencies being trittered
away by contests between rival Gladstone
candidates. Unless the nominees can be
acceptable to the overwhelming majority
OF the voters, the men with the longest
purses necessarily hold the key to the sit
uation to a large extent The funds at the
disposal OF the Premier are still insufficient
to meet the election expenses Of two.thirds
Of the men waiting to be selected. The
question If nominations is therefore left in
many cases to private influences. Moth
ing could be more unfortunate.

the converts, nearly all OF whom are Of
the Protestant classes. The Headquarters

what they regard as the Attorney. .Gcner-

ator remarked that il Garland could not
overcome his personal prejudices ON such
an occasion he should Immediately retire
from the Cabinet. Garland's conduct was
contrasted with that Of Secretary Manning
Notwithstanding Manning'~ impaired
health and feeble condition he lent his
presence to the ceremony. Garland twice
asked the President to release him from
attendance at the wedding before the latter
would do so, as he was anxious to have
all his Cabinet around him. He finally
consented after Garland made it so plain
that to be present would intlict upon him

the resolution providing that everybody
who passed the civil service examination

from the Agricultural Department build.

old Kennedy mansion, lately occupied by
the Chinese legation. But when the item
for rent came under Mr.. Randals eagle
eye, he began to be disagreeable, objected to
it, and now the commission is like the

where to rest its foot. Nor has it MANY
Democratic friends, and its Republican
friends do not hold themselves responsible
